Porsche's Questions

[Porsche Briggs]

I love the both of you to death inside and out of this game but unfortunately I can only vote for one of you. I think I know quite a bit about your gameplay so I don't really have a ton of questions so hopefully this will be painless 

Rachel- We have a rocky past but we were able to start fresh and I feel that we had an unbreakable bond from start to finish of this game. Not only did I have an amazing partner in crime throughout the season but our friendship has only grown stronger. I feel that I know where your head was at throughout the game so I don't really have many questions for you. You dominated in competitions, you were social with everyone, and you made bold moves that I know were not easy such as nominating Shane and Adria. I would like to know, during the course of the game was there anything you kept from me or anything you were not honest about? If so what? I am talking about anything that to this day I am not aware of 

James- We had many ups and downs during the game but I was really happy to see that you were honest about the final 3 deal the week that Dom left. You kept things interesting that's for sure! You were evicted week 2 and came back a few rounds later. At that time you were busy and admittedly didn't care about the game and I would like to know why I should vote for you over Rachel who was in the game the entire time and never once said she didn't care. You returned and we talked about working together and you promised me your vote then changed it. You have told me that you felt like a coward for doing that and there was a lot of pressure from Dom and Jessie. Was that the truth and if so why should you win the game over Rachel who was making the more difficult moves rather than just caving to the pressure?

Porsche,

My biggest regret was not working with you from the start of the game. I had trust issues with you considering you're a great big brother player, and that fear came from my respect for you.

When I voted you out, I chose Dominic/Jessie over you and Rachel. I was conscious of what I was doing, and I prob said I was caving in as a way for me to work with you considering you were still in the house lol.

I'm sorry I was a bad ally to you. You've shown me nothing but forgiveness on 3 separate occasions, and I'm honestly baffled because I didnt deserve it, and I sure as hell don't deserve your vote.

I think you're amazing!

Rachel- We have a rocky past but we were able to start fresh and I feel that we had an unbreakable bond from start to finish of this game. Not only did I have an amazing partner in crime throughout the season but our friendship has only grown stronger. I feel that I know where your head was at throughout the game so I don't really have many questions for you. You dominated in competitions, you were social with everyone, and you made bold moves that I know were not easy such as nominating Shane and Adria.

Thank you for the kind words Porsche. It really was a blast working with you, and our bond has grown so strong in this game. Never would I have thought in a million years it would have happened given our history, but I've had so much fun not only playing with you, but getting to know you better. While I am happy that I made it to the F2, I am sad you aren't here with me, even though I think I'd have a very tough time beating you. You were an amazing ally, and I really don't think I could have asked anything more out of you. 

Throughout the game, I pretty much told you everything sans a few things. The main thing(s) that sticks out to me, is the week James left, I kept him, but I told you that a few weeks ago. Another thing that sticks out is I told Jessie about how close Andrew was to you as a means to get her to trust me. Occasionally some information would loop around, and I was the person who gave Jessie info. I vividly remember you scratching your head about some of those things, and oftentimes it was me who gave her info. That was probably the biggest secret I kept from you in the game aside from my end game deals with Jack, Jessie, and James, however you seemed pretty aware of how close my bonds were with them so I'm not sure to what extent that counts. (If anything the main thing I didn't tell you from that was that I made the F2 with Jessie) There might have been a few minor white lies I told, for example I remember saying something about David in week 2 or 3, so you wouldn't be as upset with him earlier on in the game, but otherwise there were no major things I kept from you in the game.

The only other thing I have to add is that I didn't really want to win the Final HoH. I didn't want to be in a position where I had to pick between you and James since y'all were my closest allies. When I did the challenge, I didn't completely throw it because it was in the back of my head James could have had a Winners F2 with you, and was more inclined to take you, but at the same time, I was pretty comfortable in my relationship with him to where I figured he would probably take me. That's probably the biggest thing actually. 

To the jurors, I'm heading off to bed right now. Jun I got most of your questions done and Jessie I'm about halfway on yours. I'm going to try to get them wrapped up before the evening tomorrow, but if they're not done by then, they'll go up relatively late tomorrow. (Going out to dinner for my sister's birthday tomorrow)

Well thanks guys!

I wouldn't call you an overall bad ally James. Shit happens and game events can push you in many different directions. My question wasn't at all made out to imply you were a bad ally at all but I did want to know why you should win over Rachel who played such a strong overall game. You may feel like what's the point I was close to Rachel so ill vote her to win but I'm not voting for best ally I'm voting for a winner :-)

[James Rhine]

Well I think I should win over Rachel because I did a lot.

1) My position in the house was awful, but I still werked it. I definitely felt close to Shane, but at the same time I could tell we were not in control socially of the other Houseguests in it. That was clear when Andrew leaked the alliance Shane and I made.
2) I earned my way back in the game. It wasn't my a vote, or by chance, I played a competition better than Adria and McCrae.
3) The odds weren't in my favor when I came back as both Dom and Shane were nomd post veto. And I stuck my neck out campaigning for Shane, and Elissa at the time told me my campaign was falling on deaf ears to Andrew. So it was interesting knowing I was being fed "Ok yeah I'll think about it." From peeps when they had no intention of listening to what I had to say.
4) I got the house to vote out Ian survivor week. I was extremely vocal about it and wouldn't accept anything less.
5) I had some bargaining power with Rachel. I vetoed Dominic, ensuring both of our safety, and told Rachel to nominate Andrew to flush the dreaded DPOV. I attached me and Dominics name together telling Rachel that were both here next week, and if you don't nom Andrew you lose both of us.
5) I voted you out. At that point I chose Jessie and Dominic over you and Rachel. It was a move that benefited the underdogs of the game, and I knew if you survived that week, you'd have a good shot winning the whole thing, both socially and competitively.
6) I won PoV after Rachel put my loyalty on blast. Winning this guaranteed my safety to remain in the game.
7) I won final 6 HoH. I created the All Vet Final 3 and I proposed a F2 with Rachel. At this point in the game, I thought you and Rachel both understood that us 3 working together made more sense than to not. And at least for my game, I was willing to take that chance with y'all. Even if I were nomd against you or Rach, I could've been voted out by the newbs. So aligning with you guys had to be done for me to make f2.
8) I won f4 veto and f3 HoH,and kept my word to both you and Rachel.

I basically worked with what I had, which wasn't much, and somehow made it to the end. I hope this answer suffices.

And I mean everything I said in the original post. I don't think I deserve your vote, and I thank you so much for being a greater ally to me when I was such a shit ally to you.

I still heart u James
