Finale
Houseguests: Jessie Godderz, Kristen Bitting
They had history before the game and used it to make it to the end together . Now it was time to find out which would win the game.
Jessie and Kristen started with their opening statements.
Jessie: Coming into this game, I decided to start, just for fun, being a little like Jessie. Being somewhat cocky, arrogant, competitive, and interesting. Then I realized the negatives of Jessie's gameplay as it was in both the seasons he played. Sure, early on he won challenges, but he never did too well because his social game got him nominated quickly, as he made himself too big a threat, and couldn't win challenges in time to combat his mistakes.
I definitely took that into account, and toned down my joking of being cocky on the boards and in AIM conversations, just in case it became annoying, as it certainly became for many viewers and players in the real Big Brother game with Jessie. I never lost my confidence, but I also tried to never become egotistical or rude, unless it was a rare reflex to disrespect directed toward me. I decided to be more of myself to those who approached me, and then to otherwise touch bases with people just enough to allow them to either become close allies with me if those were the mutual intentions desired, or to at least keep me off their hitlist and trusting me with bits of information if possible.
I believe I was able to quite efficiently always put myself in a place where if I wasn't in power myself, I was seen as reliable and useful to those in power, thus never leaving me powerless, nor ever in danger for most of the game. The one time I did get myself nominated was at the final 4, where, I don't believe the HoH, Kristen, ever truly wanted me remotely in danger.
I feel I was able to start strong, and convert that beginning into a subtler game where I never lost my effect and influence over situations in the game, but was still able to be overlooked as a large threat to those who grasped power from round to round. I tried my best to treat people respectfully, albeit in my hesitation to lie or mislead as would be the case in many interactions due to me having a solid idea of how I wanted this game to flow, I likely alienated or seemed distant to some, and I can admit to and apologize for that.
I hope everyone feels happy with the experiences in this game at best, cause I know I certainly enjoyed playing it, and am so glad to be here with an amazing partner who I would be awesomely proud to beat, as well as amazingly honored to lose beside. Thank you for the fun through out the game, and without further adieu, I'll allow you to ask me anything you desire about my thoughts and feelings, and I'll answer them honestly, and hopefully to your liking.
------
Kristen: I generally like to lie low at the beginning of games and turn it up more towards the end but this game got off to a rough start for me and I needed to go into high gear right off the bat. I was unaware that the game was starting so soon and the host messaged me telling me to hurry up because she didn't want to see me getting evicted as an inactive . I logged in for the first time and within minutes I had a PM from Amy asking me for a F2 and telling me I was in an alliance with all the girls..none of whom I had even met. Naturally I wasn't going to say "no" but I was not very happy about it . This alliance was doomed from the get-go but even I didn't expect it to be outted on the board the next day.
That was when I decided I wanted to be as far away as possible from Amy the girls so I looked for a real alliance that I could keep secret and protect. There were a few people that caught my eye right away but since the game seemed to be progressing at a fast pace I assumed most of them were already spoken for. Then I noticed Jessie's AIM and recognized him from several games we have played together. I figured he was my best shot and approached him. I told Jessie about my situation with Amy but I didn't trust Amy enough to keep Jessie's name under wraps so she was kept in the dark for a while. Eventually she proved that she could keep a secret and we brought her in.
I know my social game was strong enough to keep me off the block but I wanted to have more of an impact on what happened in the game so I put effort into winning comps and succeeded in winning 4HOHs and 3 POVs. This may have been a mistake because I had to make tough choices but it was the only way I could ensure the safety of both my allies. The fact that I was able to win these comps and still not be perceived as a huge threat to anyone's safety is a testament to my social game. I do not believe anyone ever had me as their target, with the exception of perhaps Alison. I really liked her but after having three different people tell me she was gunning for me I decided not to take any chances and got her out.
In closing I just want to say that I am happy with the fact that Jessie and I are standing here together. I know that some people may be shocked at my decision to bring him here over Amy, and I am well aware that it might cost me the game, but I see him as the more deserving of the two . Not that Amy didn't put her heart and soul into this game and as such she had some impact on what happened but I cannot overlook the fact that she put herself, and more importantly me, in grave danger early on and with all her fake alliances I was never 100 % certain of her loyalty.
My one regret is that along the way I made some really good friends and in my single mindedness of getting my original allies to the end I may have hurt some people that I have grown care about . For that I am truly sorry. Feel free to vent your frustrations with my decisions and ask me any questions you may have about the game that we all love, and hate, and love to hate. Peace out.
Mike then went on to ask them questions.
Mike: Hi!! Congrats Both of you! Umm.. sooooo. yea. Didn't talk much throughout this game. Jessie - Who's vote do you think you got? Kristen - Did you just talk to me cause you thought you could get my vote in the end?
Kristen: No Mike. I think it will be pretty easy to verify that I talk to everyone in these games. I talked to you before I knew you would make jury and I still talk to people that didn't make jury. That's just the way I am. I like to try to get a feel for everyone that is around me and I never see anyone as not worth talking to because they may be inactive for some reason. The truth is in week 2 when I was HOH and nominated you I had a BD Diane plan in motion and when Jessie won POV we discussed which nominee he should remove. We both agreed that removing you might help us gain your trust and that perhaps you would consider working with us afterward. I never discounted your potential value in the game. Thanks for the question. Good Luck.
Jessie: Honestly, I'm not positive who's vote I may or may not have. I think everyone here respects the game on a level that they have a clean slate, and are going to really analyze the things we say to each jurors questions, and contemplate who of us two is worthy of their vote. So I think nothing is set in stone, but I'd like to hope I have as clean and fair a shot at everyones votes as Kristen does, and I also hope she has the same shot I have as well.
Next up was Boogie.
Boogie: Congratulations Jessie and Kristen! You two both were in what I thought was my alliance. I am glad to see you make it to the end.
Jessie.....you never talked to me in this game unless I spoke first. Basically, your social game sucked, but you still rocked the challenges. Tell me....why did you choose to not be social, even though you knew that your final 2 partner, Kristen, was the most social player of all? Didn't you think this was going to hurt you in the end?
Jessie: I chose not to be social for that exact reason. I feel that Kristen was undoubtedly the most social player, but she always used any contacts she made, and she always had those relationships arranged in a way that they were never of danger to me, and they were always used to benefit me. Had I made further moves, people would have smelt me and Kristen wanting the exact same desires, and it would have seemed a lot less like Kristen just "bringing me in" or us allowing other people to "Bring me in", despite the fact I was always right there making the decisions as well, and discussing what was best, and who should go. I knew I would be able to have equal effect on the game, and be more protected from anything by influencing Kristen, rather than attempting to influence everyone Kristen was trying to. To me, it was better to be the power source, than the wire, and I knew if something ever happened to Kristen, I would realize exactly what needed to be done to make sure I wasn't the next from what she had gathered, but at the same time, more significantly, I knew I wouldn't be the first to get shocked, unless it was at the very last stage of the game. I worked with Kristen up until the very end, being very aware how amazing she'd look at the end, but wanting that competition at the end anyway. It certain will be up to everyone else who is controlling who, but I decided why play the same game as Kristen, and risk the same risks, and maybe pale in comparison to her. I played instead a very different game from Kristen, where I both took in and released information through her, and also allowed her to use her own amazing social skills, which she has great ones, and I can't take away from her. It was maybe a slightly boring game, but I think it was one that worked extremely well, gave me the exact result I wanted, and win or lose, I'm glad to be here, and proud of the game I played to get here, through Kristen, with Kristen, and beside Kristen.
Hayden decided to show up and talk to the Final 2.
Hayden: Hey guys. Congratulations on making it to the final two and all that stuff. Huzzah, you're both so awesome and totally deserve it.
Jessie, we didn't talk much but I knew you were going to a threat in this game. I am 100% not surprised to see you in the final two, to be honest I thought thats where you'd land anyway.
Kristen, I love you and you're most likely the only houseguest who actually knows anything about me. Haha so I'm thrilled to see you land here and you deserve it too.
Okay so um... since the others have asked some pretty detailed questions, I'll be a bit easier. Since it was the reason I totally flaked out on this awesome game:
I want both of you relate each one of the jury members to different school subjects. Explain why you think that member embodies that subject and whether or not you'd "do that classes homework"... if you know what I mean! Eh?! EH?! No, you probably dont. Okay, just the first part. Have fun guys and congrats again. Good Luck in the vote.
Kristen: Amy could fit into several categories effectively. She was definitely the social butterfly but she also had a flare for drama and a strong desire to be the center of attention. Add to this the fact that she has a commanding way with words and I come up with Visual & Performing Arts. I can see her on the stage one day surrounded by a throng of adoring fans. Go Amy !!
Enzo- I would actually give Enzo Social Sciences because he was the one person in the house that everybody loved talking to. He caught my attention right away when he used his quick wit and humor to discharge the volatile situation with Kathy. He maintained it by being one of the most prolific and entertaining posters in the house. No doubt I will be doing his homework for a long time.
Mike D- Represents Astronomy because he was always a big mystery to me. It was like looking up at night and seeing stars but knowing that you could never reach them and I was always wanting to know what was behind them. So many times in this game I would look at his name or his picture and wondered what was going on with this guy and I still don't have that answer. I get the feeling I may never know but hopefully after this game ends I will finally get some answers to Mike D, mystery man of BBR6.
Hayden-Physical education because I know that had you been more available for this game you would have been a real competitor. I am one of the few people that got to speak with you enough to know that you would have had a huge impact on this game if school and work had not been so demanding. Phys Ed was one of my favorites and of course I would do the homework. Heck I would even sign-up for after school classes.
Boogie-Science. Boogie took a very analytical approach to the game and was a keen observer who worked tirelessly putting together all the different scenarios to see which of the combination's would bring him the elusive formula for success. Like some scientists they just don't get sufficient backing to realize their goal but he certainly was dedicated to the process and deserves kudos for all he invested.
Casey-I have to give Casey a Psychology class because in combines the use of scientific analysis, and mathematical statistics with the study of human behavior . Casey used all three to advance himself in the game and he did it so masterfully that he became too much of a threat to stay as long as he should have.
Alison- English. Another one of my favorite subjects because Alison had a way with words . She could use them to win you over, or cut you down to size and no matter what kind of mood she was in she was always very entertaining. When she graced us with her presence there was always excitement and drama in the house and had she been more invested she would have surely changed the course of the game.
Thank-you for an interesting and fun question Hayden.
Alison was ready for the spotlight.
Alison: Well well well look who we have here...Jessie and Kristen! One made alliances with everyone and one doesn't seem to have done anything! Jessie...by the merge I had forgot you were even in the game...you were a nobody...no personality...NOTHING! Kristen; I do have to say that you are a nice person...but it is very hard to tell when you are lying and when your not.
Pretty much...you are both on equal grounds so I have a few FUN questions for both of you...I will not ask why you deserve to win or compare each juror to a fruit. Those are lame and boring and as most of you know I am not boring!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. As a tribute to the wonderful GAGA alliance I would love to see both of you write a parody to Alexandro by Lady Gaga. It can be about WHATEVER your heart desires but remember I love being random
2. Make a movie poster entitles, "The Silent Girl". The movie poster has to represent the following synopsis...
Alison is a girl about to be married to a Mexican man. Her sister doesn't trust him so she questions him about it. He ignores her and she calls the police to arrest him. They are both taken away to the police station. Then Alison disguises herself and goes on a shooting rampage around the town.
HAVE FUN FINAL TWO!!!!
Neither Jessie or Kristen completed Alison's task...so Enzo was next.
Enzo: Well, first I just want to say Congratulations to the both of you. It's not too often that you see people who have had a final 2 alliance in the beginning of the game actually make the end. Usually there are events and circumstances that happen within the game to prevent that from happening. So kudos to the both of you for accomplishing that! I have a few things to ask each of you individually. How well you answer these will determine who my vote goes to.
JESSIE: You and I were good for pretty much the entire game until the final 4 when we had that argument on the board where we were both very critical of one another. Now is your time to win me over again.
1. Do you regret our fight? If so, why?
2. You probably were social with everyone else, even though I never saw it. But you really didn't take the time to be that way with me or to get to know me at all. I always initiated the convos which were few and far between. So why did you choose to be this way with me? I was obviously an integral part of why you are here since I won 2 HoH's and 2 vetos, and even vetoed my own nominees both times. So what was the deal exactly?
3. Would you have made it this far without Kristen? And if so, who would've been the person you would want to go to F2 with and why?
Jessie: Thanks for the congrats'! You and I were good for pretty much the entire game until the final 4 when we had that argument on the board where we were both very critical of one another. Now is your time to win me over again.
Not very much, to be honest, lol, as I'm positive you don't either. I don't think either of us hurt each others feelings, or really got too deep under each others skins, we just were venting end-game feelings that we hadn't voiced much yet. I think the fight definitely left some things between us off on an awkward note, but I guess considering the fact you weren't satisfied with our level of communication, and understandably so, it was nice that we participated in one of the more interesting exchanges of words between two people who actually were both in the game, and who can regret anything that makes the game more exciting and interesting. I like to think nothing was truly affected that makes you overarchingly think less of me, cause certainly nothing like that was imprinted upon me.
There were definitely people that I had contact with more consistently. Personally, to me, in all honesty, it just felt as if you were going to keep me safe regardless. You were close with Kristen, and when we talked it always seemed to me that you in no way saw me as a threat, nor required me to committ to a solid alliance. I suppose I simply was satisfied with that balance, and didn't feel the desire to put myself in a position where you would request further security I would offer, gain expectations that would be unmerited, or allow you to think if I'm talking to you a lot, I must be talking to everyone else a lot too. It just seemed better to leave things as it was, and as bland as that is, it was the truth, and for the most part it worked. As you said yourself, you did indeed win two HoH's and two veto's, and you kept me off the block as I expected would happen if I allowed our relationship to stay as it was, and allow others to continue doing as they were doing undisturbed.
I probably would not have had as easy a time getting here, no. Kristen was an amazing ally, and never put any of her other allies above me, and helped keep me safe at all times, regardless of the cost to her, and I cannot in anyway attempt to discredit that, because that was the deal. I do however think all hope wouldn't be lost for me without Kristen. Had Kristen not been as perfect a partner as she was, I certainly would have had to play a little more aggressive because I probably wouldn't have had as awesome a partner as her. I do believe I probably would have ended up going to the end with Boogie if this were the case, I should say as well. At almost any given time, the person leaving the game was definitely closer to Kristen it would seem, besides possibly Mike D., and Boogie.
I believe Boogie would have been my main ally without Kristen, and I would have probably attempted to still make a final 3 deal with Amy who was a great ally, but one who I also couldn't fully trust to take me to the end, as I feel I could have with Boogie. I feel instead of my "supporter" strategy that I was able to implore more easily with Kristen in the game, I would have likely converted my game to a strategy of always being the lesser of two evils, which I think I could have worked out well, because I'm generally very good at avoiding the target, and if neccesary, placing it on a proper person to the larger group, as me and Kristen often discussed and eventually had made.
Amy was next and decided to give the final 2 lots of questions to answer.
Amy: Kristen, I bonded with you more than anyone in this entire game. Alison and Casey and Lane come a close 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, but you were at least a step ahead of them in that department. But just because I adore you as a person does NOT mean you will get my vote, especially after the way you treated me this last week. You may say that you didn't say anything about not respecting me, but I'm going to be blunt: The way you went about things this last week proves, flat out, that you didn't. You'll be my friend long after this game regardless, but let me tell the jury EXACTLY what you did this week, so maybe they'll see why I'm so upset.
Kristen, I knew ever since Final Five, that I would have to win the Final HOH if I wanted to make F2 because you and Jessie would take each other. Now, that's all fine and dandy, but I told you I would take you to the end "even without a return on that promise" this final week because I knew that you weren't taking me if you won.
So jury, let me tell you, despite the fact that we had spent 65 days together in the house, rode out the waves, and bonded and become close friends, she didn't have the decency, the decency, to tell me upfront, "Hey Amy, good luck in the final part of the HOH, if you don't win it, I'm taking Jessie to the Final Two, but I respect you enough as a friend and competitor to not needlessly lead you on and give you a false sense of hope that there's any other way that you'd make the Final Two!" Instead, she preferred telling me she'll take me so I think maybe there's a glimmer of hope when I was 99% sure she was lying anyway!
Butter me up a little bit. Tell this jury why I wasn't a doormat and a lawn chair and why I was more important to the game than they think.
Thank you both. Kristen, I still adore you, you know that, and you have no one to blame but yourself for the harsh tone of these questions. If you would've been honest with me at the Final HOH, I would be a lot more gentle with you tonight, but you didn't, and now you're going to have to earn my vote.
Kristen: 1. You were instrumental in forming the original all girls alliance....not that it lasted too long but at least you stepped right up and took the initiative on day "zero "actually..lol
2. You went into survival mode and started working hard on damage control
3. You managed to calm down and refrain from making things worse on the board with Kathy
4. You worked diligently behind the scenes making allies and securing support in the event you were nominated
5. You always worked all the angles with every eviction you looked for a way to turn the person that stayed into an ally.
6. You have a very likable personality and you use it to get people to do what you want them to. You certainly did it to me.
7. You always considered every side of the situation and tried to see if you could turn it in your favor.
8. You have an analytical mind that mos people don't get to see but I suspect they will be surprised by your DR's
9. You were the person that I counted on week after week..to do whatever was needed without question
10.You have a huge heart and a strong desire to win. Your game improves game to game and week to week. I know your win is just around the corner and I hope I am there to share it with you.
Finally we had our "Banana Man" Casey.
Casey: Let me start out by by issuing the two of you a big Congratulations! The both of you played very strong games and have earned the spots you are sitting in. But that does not mean you are gonna like what I have to say. I may be friends with you but I have a jury role to fulfill, so without further adieu, lets get this show on the road.
So I know this is overdone... but please rank the players in this game (including yourselves) from best to worst in terms of gameplay, and list the mistake you think each person made that lead to their downfall. You do not need to list your own mistakes, because the two of you made the final 2 so they are irrelevant.
Jessie: 1. Jessie
2. Kristen
3. Enzo- Enzo didn't really make any strong mistakes. Maybe he could have somehow tried to act like he had no clue I wanted him out, and act like he still wanted Amy out, but...really, that wouldn't have been helpful since I knew who my final 3 was. He would have had my vote against anyone easily if I was a juror, besides Kristen who he'd be battling it out with quite evenly.
4. Amy- Amy probably would have benefitted from evicting Enzo, and fighting even harder (if possible) for competitions, and trying to get Hayden to win somehow. I think her best shot at actually WINNING this game, not getting to the end, but WINNING this game, was to find a way to bring Hayden to the end. That's just my opinion though.
5. Casey- You probably shouldn't have been so verbal to Kristen with how closely you were working with Enzo. We pieced together, that we knew you would never go after her, but you talking to him so much, and possibly not caring if he was after me, or not seeming to give me as much info as him, made you perhaps a little too social with others, and possibly, down the line, could influence you to have Enzo target me earlier than he did, and it also just put the nip out on you since you were strong, and might evict me much later down the line.
6. Boogie- Boogie I think made the mistake of being in an alliance with two people, and not having a solid final 2 with either of them he could rely on soon enough. When you go into a final 3 deal, you really need to make that step sooner or later, or even make the final 2, then pull someone in (which me and Kristen). If you don't do this, the people within the alliance, when feeling safe enough, could just get you out at any point if you are one of the stronger people, and there is even a slight fear you COULD take the other person in the threesome (I knew you might take Kristen). At that point, I knew I wanted to try to get further with another final 3, and surround myself with people who weren't as strong challenge-wise, as me and Kristen. For me, had you tried to solidify that final 2 with one of us two, you either would have had it locked (had we been breakable), OR you would have realized sooner rather than later that there was something you had to deal with THEN.
7. Alison- I think Alison was a person who had to make more powerful allies. She definitely was social, and definitely made good relationships, but the people who I saw her talking with the most either had way too many relationships, and didn't care about her (Kristen), or never whom never won, and thus didn't give her much strings to pull to make them actually do something major (Amy and Boogie). Had she made better ally choices, or stronger moves with stronger people, I definitely think she could have done better, but her close deals with people who didn't have much power, and then not struggling harder to gain it herself, meant her great potential was wasted a bit.
8. Mike D.- You definitely had to be less quiet in this game. Your quiet behaviour made people feel you were innactive, and not fully into the game, and made you an easy "let's just put him up", go to. Your auction play, with the safety, was actually really smart though, and that bumped you up the list, cause that little one surprised me.
9. Hayden- Hayden, I think is a case, where gosh darn it, had he gotten a win, he could have really arranged things differently. So not winning (which is a lame one), but was probably his biggest mistake. He made it far, but he really just needed a win I think to move up this list, and have his moment where he could put some hits out on the right people, and make closer bonds than he had.
The jurors voted and the votes were tallied. After over 2 months of battling, Kristen was crowned the winner of Big Brother Recycled 6, receiving Amy, Boogie, Casey, Enzo, and Hayden's votes to win.
Houseguests: Jessie Godderz, Kristen Bitting
They had history before the game and used it to make it to the end together . Now it was time to find out which would win the game.
Jessie and Kristen started with their opening statements.

I never lost my confidence, but I also tried to never become egotistical or rude, unless it was a rare reflex to disrespect directed toward me. I decided to be more of myself to those who approached me, and then to otherwise touch bases with people just enough to allow them to either become close allies with me if those were the mutual intentions desired, or to at least keep me off their hitlist and trusting me with bits of information if possible.

Thank you for the fun through out the game, and without further adieu, I'll allow you to ask me anything you desire about my thoughts and feelings, and I'll answer them honestly, and hopefully to your liking.

Kristen: I generally like to lie low at the beginning of games and turn it up more towards the end but this game got off to a rough start for me and I needed to go into high gear right off the bat. I was unaware that the game was starting so soon and the host messaged me telling me to hurry up because she didn't want to see me getting evicted as an inactive .

My one regret is that along the way I made some really good friends and in my single mindedness of getting my original allies to the end I may have hurt some people that I have grown care about . For that I am truly sorry. Feel free to vent your frustrations with my decisions and ask me any questions you may have about the game that we all love, and hate, and love to hate. Peace out.
Mike then went on to ask them questions.
Mike: Hi!! Congrats Both of you! Umm.. sooooo. yea. Didn't talk much throughout this game. Jessie - Who's vote do you think you got? Kristen - Did you just talk to me cause you thought you could get my vote in the end?
Kristen: No Mike. I think it will be pretty easy to verify that I talk to everyone in these games. I talked to you before I knew you would make jury and I still talk to people that didn't make jury. That's just the way I am. I like to try to get a feel for everyone that is around me and I never see anyone as not worth talking to because they may be inactive for some reason. The truth is in week 2 when I was HOH and nominated you I had a BD Diane plan in motion and when Jessie won POV we discussed which nominee he should remove. We both agreed that removing you might help us gain your trust and that perhaps you would consider working with us afterward. I never discounted your potential value in the game. Thanks for the question. Good Luck.
Jessie: Honestly, I'm not positive who's vote I may or may not have. I think everyone here respects the game on a level that they have a clean slate, and are going to really analyze the things we say to each jurors questions, and contemplate who of us two is worthy of their vote. So I think nothing is set in stone, but I'd like to hope I have as clean and fair a shot at everyones votes as Kristen does, and I also hope she has the same shot I have as well.
Next up was Boogie.
Boogie: Congratulations Jessie and Kristen! You two both were in what I thought was my alliance. I am glad to see you make it to the end.
Jessie.....you never talked to me in this game unless I spoke first. Basically, your social game sucked, but you still rocked the challenges. Tell me....why did you choose to not be social, even though you knew that your final 2 partner, Kristen, was the most social player of all? Didn't you think this was going to hurt you in the end?
Jessie: I chose not to be social for that exact reason. I feel that Kristen was undoubtedly the most social player, but she always used any contacts she made, and she always had those relationships arranged in a way that they were never of danger to me, and they were always used to benefit me. Had I made further moves, people would have smelt me and Kristen wanting the exact same desires, and it would have seemed a lot less like Kristen just "bringing me in" or us allowing other people to "Bring me in", despite the fact I was always right there making the decisions as well, and discussing what was best, and who should go. I knew I would be able to have equal effect on the game, and be more protected from anything by influencing Kristen, rather than attempting to influence everyone Kristen was trying to. To me, it was better to be the power source, than the wire, and I knew if something ever happened to Kristen, I would realize exactly what needed to be done to make sure I wasn't the next from what she had gathered, but at the same time, more significantly, I knew I wouldn't be the first to get shocked, unless it was at the very last stage of the game. I worked with Kristen up until the very end, being very aware how amazing she'd look at the end, but wanting that competition at the end anyway. It certain will be up to everyone else who is controlling who, but I decided why play the same game as Kristen, and risk the same risks, and maybe pale in comparison to her. I played instead a very different game from Kristen, where I both took in and released information through her, and also allowed her to use her own amazing social skills, which she has great ones, and I can't take away from her. It was maybe a slightly boring game, but I think it was one that worked extremely well, gave me the exact result I wanted, and win or lose, I'm glad to be here, and proud of the game I played to get here, through Kristen, with Kristen, and beside Kristen.
Hayden decided to show up and talk to the Final 2.
Hayden: Hey guys. Congratulations on making it to the final two and all that stuff. Huzzah, you're both so awesome and totally deserve it.
Jessie, we didn't talk much but I knew you were going to a threat in this game. I am 100% not surprised to see you in the final two, to be honest I thought thats where you'd land anyway.
Kristen, I love you and you're most likely the only houseguest who actually knows anything about me. Haha so I'm thrilled to see you land here and you deserve it too.
Okay so um... since the others have asked some pretty detailed questions, I'll be a bit easier. Since it was the reason I totally flaked out on this awesome game:
I want both of you relate each one of the jury members to different school subjects. Explain why you think that member embodies that subject and whether or not you'd "do that classes homework"... if you know what I mean! Eh?! EH?! No, you probably dont. Okay, just the first part. Have fun guys and congrats again. Good Luck in the vote.
Kristen: Amy could fit into several categories effectively. She was definitely the social butterfly but she also had a flare for drama and a strong desire to be the center of attention. Add to this the fact that she has a commanding way with words and I come up with Visual & Performing Arts. I can see her on the stage one day surrounded by a throng of adoring fans. Go Amy !!
Enzo- I would actually give Enzo Social Sciences because he was the one person in the house that everybody loved talking to. He caught my attention right away when he used his quick wit and humor to discharge the volatile situation with Kathy. He maintained it by being one of the most prolific and entertaining posters in the house. No doubt I will be doing his homework for a long time.
Mike D- Represents Astronomy because he was always a big mystery to me. It was like looking up at night and seeing stars but knowing that you could never reach them and I was always wanting to know what was behind them. So many times in this game I would look at his name or his picture and wondered what was going on with this guy and I still don't have that answer. I get the feeling I may never know but hopefully after this game ends I will finally get some answers to Mike D, mystery man of BBR6.
Hayden-Physical education because I know that had you been more available for this game you would have been a real competitor. I am one of the few people that got to speak with you enough to know that you would have had a huge impact on this game if school and work had not been so demanding. Phys Ed was one of my favorites and of course I would do the homework. Heck I would even sign-up for after school classes.
Boogie-Science. Boogie took a very analytical approach to the game and was a keen observer who worked tirelessly putting together all the different scenarios to see which of the combination's would bring him the elusive formula for success. Like some scientists they just don't get sufficient backing to realize their goal but he certainly was dedicated to the process and deserves kudos for all he invested.
Casey-I have to give Casey a Psychology class because in combines the use of scientific analysis, and mathematical statistics with the study of human behavior . Casey used all three to advance himself in the game and he did it so masterfully that he became too much of a threat to stay as long as he should have.
Alison- English. Another one of my favorite subjects because Alison had a way with words . She could use them to win you over, or cut you down to size and no matter what kind of mood she was in she was always very entertaining. When she graced us with her presence there was always excitement and drama in the house and had she been more invested she would have surely changed the course of the game.
Thank-you for an interesting and fun question Hayden.
Alison was ready for the spotlight.
Alison: Well well well look who we have here...Jessie and Kristen! One made alliances with everyone and one doesn't seem to have done anything! Jessie...by the merge I had forgot you were even in the game...you were a nobody...no personality...NOTHING! Kristen; I do have to say that you are a nice person...but it is very hard to tell when you are lying and when your not.
Pretty much...you are both on equal grounds so I have a few FUN questions for both of you...I will not ask why you deserve to win or compare each juror to a fruit. Those are lame and boring and as most of you know I am not boring!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. As a tribute to the wonderful GAGA alliance I would love to see both of you write a parody to Alexandro by Lady Gaga. It can be about WHATEVER your heart desires but remember I love being random
2. Make a movie poster entitles, "The Silent Girl". The movie poster has to represent the following synopsis...
Alison is a girl about to be married to a Mexican man. Her sister doesn't trust him so she questions him about it. He ignores her and she calls the police to arrest him. They are both taken away to the police station. Then Alison disguises herself and goes on a shooting rampage around the town.
HAVE FUN FINAL TWO!!!!
Neither Jessie or Kristen completed Alison's task...so Enzo was next.
Enzo: Well, first I just want to say Congratulations to the both of you. It's not too often that you see people who have had a final 2 alliance in the beginning of the game actually make the end. Usually there are events and circumstances that happen within the game to prevent that from happening. So kudos to the both of you for accomplishing that! I have a few things to ask each of you individually. How well you answer these will determine who my vote goes to.
JESSIE: You and I were good for pretty much the entire game until the final 4 when we had that argument on the board where we were both very critical of one another. Now is your time to win me over again.
1. Do you regret our fight? If so, why?
2. You probably were social with everyone else, even though I never saw it. But you really didn't take the time to be that way with me or to get to know me at all. I always initiated the convos which were few and far between. So why did you choose to be this way with me? I was obviously an integral part of why you are here since I won 2 HoH's and 2 vetos, and even vetoed my own nominees both times. So what was the deal exactly?
3. Would you have made it this far without Kristen? And if so, who would've been the person you would want to go to F2 with and why?
Jessie: Thanks for the congrats'! You and I were good for pretty much the entire game until the final 4 when we had that argument on the board where we were both very critical of one another. Now is your time to win me over again.
1. Do you regret our fight? If so, why?
Not very much, to be honest, lol, as I'm positive you don't either. I don't think either of us hurt each others feelings, or really got too deep under each others skins, we just were venting end-game feelings that we hadn't voiced much yet. I think the fight definitely left some things between us off on an awkward note, but I guess considering the fact you weren't satisfied with our level of communication, and understandably so, it was nice that we participated in one of the more interesting exchanges of words between two people who actually were both in the game, and who can regret anything that makes the game more exciting and interesting. I like to think nothing was truly affected that makes you overarchingly think less of me, cause certainly nothing like that was imprinted upon me.
2. You probably were social with everyone else, even though I never saw it. But you really didn't take the time to be that way with me or to get to know me at all. I always initiated the convos which were few and far between. So why did you choose to be this way with me? I was obviously an integral part of why you are here since I won 2 HoH's and 2 vetos, and even vetoed my own nominees both times. So what was the deal exactly?
There were definitely people that I had contact with more consistently. Personally, to me, in all honesty, it just felt as if you were going to keep me safe regardless. You were close with Kristen, and when we talked it always seemed to me that you in no way saw me as a threat, nor required me to committ to a solid alliance. I suppose I simply was satisfied with that balance, and didn't feel the desire to put myself in a position where you would request further security I would offer, gain expectations that would be unmerited, or allow you to think if I'm talking to you a lot, I must be talking to everyone else a lot too. It just seemed better to leave things as it was, and as bland as that is, it was the truth, and for the most part it worked. As you said yourself, you did indeed win two HoH's and two veto's, and you kept me off the block as I expected would happen if I allowed our relationship to stay as it was, and allow others to continue doing as they were doing undisturbed.
3. Would you have made it this far without Kristen? And if so, who would've been the person you would want to go to F2 with and why?
I probably would not have had as easy a time getting here, no. Kristen was an amazing ally, and never put any of her other allies above me, and helped keep me safe at all times, regardless of the cost to her, and I cannot in anyway attempt to discredit that, because that was the deal. I do however think all hope wouldn't be lost for me without Kristen. Had Kristen not been as perfect a partner as she was, I certainly would have had to play a little more aggressive because I probably wouldn't have had as awesome a partner as her. I do believe I probably would have ended up going to the end with Boogie if this were the case, I should say as well. At almost any given time, the person leaving the game was definitely closer to Kristen it would seem, besides possibly Mike D., and Boogie.
I believe Boogie would have been my main ally without Kristen, and I would have probably attempted to still make a final 3 deal with Amy who was a great ally, but one who I also couldn't fully trust to take me to the end, as I feel I could have with Boogie. I feel instead of my "supporter" strategy that I was able to implore more easily with Kristen in the game, I would have likely converted my game to a strategy of always being the lesser of two evils, which I think I could have worked out well, because I'm generally very good at avoiding the target, and if neccesary, placing it on a proper person to the larger group, as me and Kristen often discussed and eventually had made.
Amy was next and decided to give the final 2 lots of questions to answer.
Amy: Kristen, I bonded with you more than anyone in this entire game. Alison and Casey and Lane come a close 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, but you were at least a step ahead of them in that department. But just because I adore you as a person does NOT mean you will get my vote, especially after the way you treated me this last week. You may say that you didn't say anything about not respecting me, but I'm going to be blunt: The way you went about things this last week proves, flat out, that you didn't. You'll be my friend long after this game regardless, but let me tell the jury EXACTLY what you did this week, so maybe they'll see why I'm so upset.
Kristen, I knew ever since Final Five, that I would have to win the Final HOH if I wanted to make F2 because you and Jessie would take each other. Now, that's all fine and dandy, but I told you I would take you to the end "even without a return on that promise" this final week because I knew that you weren't taking me if you won.
So jury, let me tell you, despite the fact that we had spent 65 days together in the house, rode out the waves, and bonded and become close friends, she didn't have the decency, the decency, to tell me upfront, "Hey Amy, good luck in the final part of the HOH, if you don't win it, I'm taking Jessie to the Final Two, but I respect you enough as a friend and competitor to not needlessly lead you on and give you a false sense of hope that there's any other way that you'd make the Final Two!" Instead, she preferred telling me she'll take me so I think maybe there's a glimmer of hope when I was 99% sure she was lying anyway!
Butter me up a little bit. Tell this jury why I wasn't a doormat and a lawn chair and why I was more important to the game than they think.
Thank you both. Kristen, I still adore you, you know that, and you have no one to blame but yourself for the harsh tone of these questions. If you would've been honest with me at the Final HOH, I would be a lot more gentle with you tonight, but you didn't, and now you're going to have to earn my vote.
Kristen: 1. You were instrumental in forming the original all girls alliance....not that it lasted too long but at least you stepped right up and took the initiative on day "zero "actually..lol
2. You went into survival mode and started working hard on damage control
3. You managed to calm down and refrain from making things worse on the board with Kathy
4. You worked diligently behind the scenes making allies and securing support in the event you were nominated
5. You always worked all the angles with every eviction you looked for a way to turn the person that stayed into an ally.
6. You have a very likable personality and you use it to get people to do what you want them to. You certainly did it to me.
7. You always considered every side of the situation and tried to see if you could turn it in your favor.
8. You have an analytical mind that mos people don't get to see but I suspect they will be surprised by your DR's
9. You were the person that I counted on week after week..to do whatever was needed without question
10.You have a huge heart and a strong desire to win. Your game improves game to game and week to week. I know your win is just around the corner and I hope I am there to share it with you.
Finally we had our "Banana Man" Casey.
Casey: Let me start out by by issuing the two of you a big Congratulations! The both of you played very strong games and have earned the spots you are sitting in. But that does not mean you are gonna like what I have to say. I may be friends with you but I have a jury role to fulfill, so without further adieu, lets get this show on the road.
So I know this is overdone... but please rank the players in this game (including yourselves) from best to worst in terms of gameplay, and list the mistake you think each person made that lead to their downfall. You do not need to list your own mistakes, because the two of you made the final 2 so they are irrelevant.
Jessie: 1. Jessie
2. Kristen
3. Enzo- Enzo didn't really make any strong mistakes. Maybe he could have somehow tried to act like he had no clue I wanted him out, and act like he still wanted Amy out, but...really, that wouldn't have been helpful since I knew who my final 3 was. He would have had my vote against anyone easily if I was a juror, besides Kristen who he'd be battling it out with quite evenly.
4. Amy- Amy probably would have benefitted from evicting Enzo, and fighting even harder (if possible) for competitions, and trying to get Hayden to win somehow. I think her best shot at actually WINNING this game, not getting to the end, but WINNING this game, was to find a way to bring Hayden to the end. That's just my opinion though.
5. Casey- You probably shouldn't have been so verbal to Kristen with how closely you were working with Enzo. We pieced together, that we knew you would never go after her, but you talking to him so much, and possibly not caring if he was after me, or not seeming to give me as much info as him, made you perhaps a little too social with others, and possibly, down the line, could influence you to have Enzo target me earlier than he did, and it also just put the nip out on you since you were strong, and might evict me much later down the line.
6. Boogie- Boogie I think made the mistake of being in an alliance with two people, and not having a solid final 2 with either of them he could rely on soon enough. When you go into a final 3 deal, you really need to make that step sooner or later, or even make the final 2, then pull someone in (which me and Kristen). If you don't do this, the people within the alliance, when feeling safe enough, could just get you out at any point if you are one of the stronger people, and there is even a slight fear you COULD take the other person in the threesome (I knew you might take Kristen). At that point, I knew I wanted to try to get further with another final 3, and surround myself with people who weren't as strong challenge-wise, as me and Kristen. For me, had you tried to solidify that final 2 with one of us two, you either would have had it locked (had we been breakable), OR you would have realized sooner rather than later that there was something you had to deal with THEN.
7. Alison- I think Alison was a person who had to make more powerful allies. She definitely was social, and definitely made good relationships, but the people who I saw her talking with the most either had way too many relationships, and didn't care about her (Kristen), or never whom never won, and thus didn't give her much strings to pull to make them actually do something major (Amy and Boogie). Had she made better ally choices, or stronger moves with stronger people, I definitely think she could have done better, but her close deals with people who didn't have much power, and then not struggling harder to gain it herself, meant her great potential was wasted a bit.
8. Mike D.- You definitely had to be less quiet in this game. Your quiet behaviour made people feel you were innactive, and not fully into the game, and made you an easy "let's just put him up", go to. Your auction play, with the safety, was actually really smart though, and that bumped you up the list, cause that little one surprised me.
9. Hayden- Hayden, I think is a case, where gosh darn it, had he gotten a win, he could have really arranged things differently. So not winning (which is a lame one), but was probably his biggest mistake. He made it far, but he really just needed a win I think to move up this list, and have his moment where he could put some hits out on the right people, and make closer bonds than he had.
The jurors voted and the votes were tallied. After over 2 months of battling, Kristen was crowned the winner of Big Brother Recycled 6, receiving Amy, Boogie, Casey, Enzo, and Hayden's votes to win.
