Hi sluts. Your resident Asian Sensation is here in the final three. Who would've thunk it?
Personally, I wouldn't have until about the time Faith got out of the game. That's when I took control of my own destiny.
Round One, I was SUPER active. I was second place in the first immunity challenge, but I easily could have won. I had the path to victory set up, but it would mean staying up until 4am, which I couldn't do that night, so I let Ingrid win it, which I am glad I did. It kept a target off my back.
During round one, I also made a final three alliance with Ray and Ingrid. We were the Pandas because we were black, white, and asian. Sadly, during the middle of the first immunity challenge, Ray disappeared and never returned. Ingrid became kinda reclusive and I talked to Kyle more than anyone. Emily was kinda a medium there.
I barely even did anything in challenges as Ventus after that because Em and Ingrid were such challenge threats already that they dominated. I really became UTR during that time.
Eventually we merged with Aqua and became the Good Tribe, which is where I stepped it up a wee bit. Faith and I talked a lot, and I talked to Taylor a decent bit too, though I thought he was a girl for some reason.. lol oh well. That's also where I began talking to Emily more than before, and Kyle less than usual.
The first vote there was easy. Vote out Kyle because he had talked to no one nor had he logged in. Of course, he decided to vote during the tribal, but like that mattered. He was out. The next challenge, we dominated and evil sent someone home. At that point, I knew nothing about the Evil tribe. Yet somehow, Faith was telling me of all her conspiracy theories about how someone must have played an idol because so and so would never have left otherwise and such.... and that's when I realized I was super unimportant. I was just a number. And I wanted more than that. But it would take time.
I talked to Henry for the first time at the final immunity challenge in a tribal setting. We were the only two who would do any work in the challenge, so we talked then, and I really liked the Mexican (though he thinks he's Mediterranean - whatever. I'm so right.) We still lost, but it connected me with Henry, which was VERY helpful in the end.
We then merged, and I was solidified as third place to Faith and Quinn.. but that's not what I wanted. I wanted to vote Peter out because he was an ugly Asian and I needed to be the only Asian left for personal reasons. However, Faith wanted Chad out, which was a problem with me - Chad and I had talked a lot already, and we were friends. But I talked to Evil members a lot too.. and they were voting Emily, who I loved. I knew without her I would not have survived the initial tribes because we would have lost immunity and my invisible ass would have been ousted. So I promised I would vote Emily to the Evil and Chad to the good.
And I voted Peter.
This gave Quinn and I time to rethink our votes and also align ourselves better in the game. We ended up voting out Chad because he didn't really have my interests at heart. I wouldn't be in the game right now if I had went with Chad's posse.
Not that Quinn helped either, because sooner or later she disappeared in a freak storm and never returned. Thanks Quinn.
Actually, yeah, thanks Quinn. You leaving made the game much more exciting. I actually had to work then, because the clear final three I was in was destroyed and I was a free agent. I talked to Emily about us working with all sides and swapping back and forth every vote just to make sure we were safe, and that's what we decided to die.
Then came the gamechanger for me. Faith said vote out Henry. Simple, right? Oh, it was
very simple. Go against Faith, get out the social threat Zoe, and make Faith the target of Henry and Ingrid and Taylor. We got numbers against Zoe and blindsided her, and Faith too. She had no clue it was happening. It was great
The next vote was Faith, which was easy. Swept her on out the door. Her time was up and my time had arrived.
At this point, I feel like I took the reigns of my game and never looked back. Each round I lied to virtually everyone about something in order to further myself. I wanted nothing but to make it to the end with Emily, and that's what I would do. No matter what. I blindsided castaway after castaway until there were only five left. At this point, the clear vote was Henry, but... he had discovered my biggest secret. I couldn't vote him out with that knowledge, and besides. Who would have ever imagined an all good final four with the clearly more powerful Evil tribe in the way? And Wendy in the end = instant winner. At least with Henry Emily and I would have a chance. So we got Wendy out, and we laughed and drank wine and were merry merry merry.
Final four. There was a Ventus f3, but also I wasn't gonna vote out Henry, so I actually really wanted Henry to win final immunity so we could vote Ingrid out easily. Except... I won the first part. How? Because Ingrid didn't even post at all ajrjadfj whAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING INGRID. But she did post in the Final Four thread in camp about how she loves One Direction. That was nice.
Somehow, I then won final immunity, but I didn't need it. I never needed immunity in this game. I was always able to keep the vote off of me - whether it was because I was under the radar as in early stages of the game or just by lying my ass off to every fucking player as I did during merge. I was always safe. I got a few votes here and there, but nothing I didn't expect and nothing I couldn't handle. It just proved I was doing something right.
I think, more than anyone, I've had the biggest underdog uprising. I was such a nobody, but slowly I built and built and increased my gameplay every round. This game became so fun for me, because I really held my destiny in my own hands, and that was a great feeling. I felt alive in a game for the first time in a long time, and I want to thank every jury member for making this merge stage such an eventful and deceitful and exciting one. I didn't need idols or immunity or anything. I just needed my voice. I want to thank Faith for making me come out of my shell and I wanna thank Peter for being an uglier asian than me and I wanna thank Emily for always being there.
Lastly, I think I do deserve to win, but I also think Henry and Emily played great games. I've always told Emily I'd be happy if she won, and I'd be happy for Henry too. All three of us played good games. I look forward to answering your questions
Good luck Hemily, <33 you both!
