Hey Fellas.
I'll keep this rather short since I feel like most of my concerns will be addressed in other speeches. I can respect the difficulty it must have taken to reach the F2, and have respect in that regard for the two of you. Unfortunately, I feel as though many of us have a bad taste in our mouth due to a number of factors. I think Self-Awareness is extremely important in life and in Big Brother. So I want to provide each of you with an opportunity to be self aware.
Nick: You've received some significant accusations, and some minor ones. Ignore the peronal ones for now, I want to focus on the game implications. I believe you need to be more candid and forward about exactly how the pre-gaming occurred. You are great at being political and dancing around issues without tackling them head on, but this is a jury of winners. If you can take a more proactive approach right here and now and air it all out in your response to me, I think you will extremely improve your chances. We are all talking so don't leave anything out because we likely already know more than you think.
I do have a question for you: I saw a big flaw of yours to be your transparancy. For example, when we got on call after I blindsided you guys with the Adam vote before the triple, it was so ridiculously obvious you were just telling me what I wanted to hear. I was probably less likely to work with you afterwards, simply for feeling like you were ignorant to how obious you were being. My question is why did you double down on being fake when you were unable to make it come across as authentic? Not just with me but in general most of the game, as there were many times that I think you were falsely mistaken that people bought what you were selling. We almost had a moment of breakthrough talking about being unable to take one another to F2 but needing one another as long as its possible, but that idea never caught fire. I was able to build loyalty by being more authentic, and I don't feel like you gave yourself that opportunity. (P.S. The answer here is an opporunity to be more authentic, so try and be candid instead of polished!)
Felix: I have a lot I could say here, but I don't feel like I need to. I don't think you understand the extent to which you slighted me the last few months, but hopefully you can prove me wrong. Like I said above, self-awareness is extremely important. Being blunt I feel like you were the least self aware person this season. In order for you to win, you are going to need to do a lot of self-reflection. Just for a warm up, let's look at just a select few things you have done:
- Begged and guilted me into leaving my Best Friend's Birthday Party early so he could call me at 1:00 AM for almost 4 hours during my HOH. The entire time trying to tell me what I should do, and also throwing your entire alliance under the bus because you were scared I was putting you up even though we pretty much had agreed to go all the way from the get go.
- Again got me to get on call while I was under the influence and try to guilt me into helping you get HOH, which kudos for fooling me but this was the most ridiculous game move ever since this is specifically the moment that made you feel like it was you against the house. You can say you felt that before when Duncan left but that is just purely incorrect I went to bat for you after that. But you chose to burn the only non pre-game bridges you had left for no reason.
- Asked me to share something that was entirely personal and difficult to talk about, which I described to both you and Tasha and explained how I had trouble talking about it. Meanwhile you and Tasha were fucking reading it out loud to Adam and who knows who else, accusing me of emotionally manipulating you guys! Even though I literally said "Please don't let this impact the game I just wanted to share" since you fucking asked me to share. So not only were you emotionally manipulating me, but you were accusing me of emotionally manipulating you while you were doing it.
I won't go on, but these are just some of the examples of what you had said and done. So I guess my question will be: Why did you feel it was required to make me feel so much personal stress; and bonus points if you can recognize what you should have done differently in certain situations.
Thanks boys.
