Opening Statements

[Sunshine Martyn]

John James & Sophie should make their opening statements here.

[Sunshine Martyn]

It's been almost 24 hours... plz post your opening statements ASAP

[Sophie]

As soon as I can I'll have mine up.

[Sophie]

I have mine pre-typed. I'm way tired to double check right now. I'll have it up tomorrow. Sorry long day.

John James IMed me from his phone notifying me he won't be online until tomorrow and to post the draft from his DR for his opening statement.

There's a few people who I know have hated me, but I needed them in the game and had to be fake to them to keep myself in the game. Now they hate me even more for being a fake "Stalker". There's some people who I lied to but was never "fake" to, they still hate me for lying to them. Overall, I have learned that the statement "it's a game" doesn't always apply to everyone. I'll be honest (for I guess the first time in this game), I was a complete dick and played with people's emotions. At the start of the game I pulled the sympathy card, tried to seem pathetic and useless, it got me Ragan's vote in the tie with Sam, and that was enough to keep me in the game. Then, after I had a big hint that that card was starting to annoy people, I started changing up how I played the game. I did a few things I regret but I did what I thought needed to be done to get to the Final Two.

Whether what needed to be done was me making a deal with someone for my safety one week, then helping the HOH with a backdoor on this person the next week, or yelling at the HoH for not nominating this person one week and then making a Final Two deal with this very same person the next week. If it needed to be done, I did it.

Some people could say that I took this game too personally, but it was quite the opposite. Not once did I toss and turn over the game at night, nor beat my head against the wall for a decision I have made (Maybe once.) Rachel said in the Final Four Veto that I "manipulated" people. Whether that is the right word or not, I guess it could be seen that way. Whether you see this as a good thing or bad, it helped me get to the end of the game.

I hope none of you take anything I did in this game too seriously. The things I have said in my Diary Room or to other people were just for pure entertainment in the episodes. Some of you are people who I enjoyed talking to, Sophie is one of those who I enjoyed talking with, and she played a great game and I congratulate her on making it to the end. May the best person win.

Over two days to post one speech is a bit ridiculous IMO so we're going to keep this moving. Sophie has lost her right to post an opening statement. She can post a late one later but in the meantime jurors are allowed to start asking questions. Do so by making a new thread for your comments/questions in the Jury Questioning board.

[Sophie]

I tried contacting you yesterday thru mobile. Personal problems have completely screwed over my weekend. I've had no time to have net access. I am currently with VERY limited time to post this. I will try to have this up tonight. I truly apologize for this. The problems came at the wrong moment. And it's nto ridiculous Sunshine. I'm sorry problems haven't let me have net access so watch how you talk.

[Sunshine Martyn]

I'm sorry about your problems but you said you had it all pre-typed over 24 hours before I posted that so I was getting irritated with the delays.

[Sophie]

Alright guys sorry for the delay...unlike my gameplay here my life has been a total trainwreck the last few days. Anyways...

When I signed up for this game I pretended to be alias. I planned out how I would play. I decided I would be an under the radar player but a deadly one at it. Not only that but along the way I had some personal goals of mine I wanted to accomplish to an ORG and proof to everyone and myself that I am truly a force to be reckoned with no matter how I play. I know many of you think I was a boring mute b*tch but that was actually part of my strategy. I wanted people to think I didn't know what was going on when in fact I knew every round what was exactly going on except of course those weeks where the wildcard of the game John James was HoH. Everytime someone was HoH people would either come up to me saying I was SO safe or I was somehow influencing the HoH's decision. While I only won a single HoH we all know it definitely changed the remainder of the game. Early in this game I was dragged into this whole anti-Sam alliance with Charley, Natalie, Rachael & Ragan. While I felt comfortable being in that alliance I certainly didn't just stick with that. I went out there so people knew I was not 100% in their side and this was proven every single week when people would always tell me they didn't know where I stood because I didn't show my cards. I told them EXACTLY what they needed to hear and I left it at that. I didn't make any unwanted alliances to simply break them with the exception of the anti-Sam which I was dragged into. As we got into the final 10 I saw how powerful Charley's alliance was turning and how already Sam's side had crumbled because I knew for fact Brigitte & Nikki who were "alligned" with JJ REALLY hated and disliked him. I made sure that week it was either Charley or Ragan walking out the door no matter what because they were completely taking over the game and I wanted to show them I was also a player in the game and definitely was not just there. I succesfully backdoored Ragan which was their strongest competition wise player and the upcoming weeks thanks to Charley & Natalie self-destructing they all followed him out the door. While I had no dislike for them I was simply here to play the game and my safest spots in the game were Brigitte & Nikki who are my friends outside the game despite the fact I did go against them in the late game. Another player in the game I helped get evicted was Charlie. Charlie and I had formed this tight alliance but when I saw his 2 strong moves on getting Sam evicted and then one of the "barbies" being Nikki evicted I knew I certainly had to get him out no matter what so that week I threw the veto to Brigitte feeling COMPLETELY safe that I was not going on the block. Moving into the final 4 I had never been nominated once. While I felt like everyone was a wildcard in my eyes I certainly had the fire lit under me to win that veto and evict Brigitte. The HoH that week opened my eyes as to how big of a threat Brigitte was in the game. Brigitte didn't had to work behind the curtains like me and she would completely overshadow my gameplay in a finale so she HAD to go. In the end here I am. If you were to ask people on week 1 what you thought about Sophie they would tell you she simply sucked.

Bottom line is in the strategy area I was a top notch player. I made sure I dismantled the Charley alliance, have Charlie evicted & split up the "barbies" who were most likely a final 2 alliance despite them being my friends. In the social area I was NEVER nominated until the final 4; in my opinion this speaks for itself and it shows how either people felt trusting in me or not threatened whatsoever in me. Physically I won 3 vetoes. And I also won an HoH with a solid time of over 4 hours. I won vetoes where it most counted which is in end game to make sure those people I targetted had no shot at staying and seeling their fate. I threw the final 5 HoH to Brigitte and the final 6 veto to Brigitte; this shows HOW safe I felt in my game and secure that I didn't need those for myself. I worked every angle and alliance in the game. I wasn't a mean player and never got myself into fights. I think I definitely deserve to win and I am looking forward to the jury questions.
