Hey what’s up hello everyone!
4 years ago, little Drewbie stumbled upon his first Big Brother ORG: Big Brother Recycled 11. It’s been 4 years since my journey began and I have grown so much as a player since then. Sitting in the final 2 in this game proves just how much I have grown. I’m excited, humbled, and proud to be sitting in this position and I hope that you guys will give me the time of day and let me prove to you why I feel I’ve earned my spot in the finals.
I came into this game knowing that I have never been the strongest in competitions when it comes to ORGs, so I knew I would be relying heavily on my social game. However, my social game was off to a rocky start. I was struggling with making connections, I wasn’t motivated at all. Then week 2 rolled around and that’s when I received my wake up call. Getting nominated in week two sparked a fire in me and thus I began playing the most strategic and social game I’ve ever played in any org.
After getting nominated, I knew I had to start playing the game differently. I began making connections left and right; getting my hands on any alliance that I could. I had an alliance with Nick and Nicole. I had an alliance with Dustin and Victoria. But probably the most important alliance to me in this game was the one between Lori, Jessie, and myself (we eventually added Shane in as the 4th member). This alliance was the one I was most invested in, but that doesn’t mean my personal connections with everyone else were any less genuine. I had a good personal connection with just about everyone in the game. There were a few people that I struggled to connect with, but overall I think I had my bases covered at all times.
I worked my ass off on AIM to build relationships that would help me in the long run. These social connections got me through many tough situations that I found myself in. I don’t want y’all to think that talking to you guys was a chore, because I have genuinely enjoyed getting to know most of you on a personal level and it has been so fun competing against you guys on a game level.
Now, I’m not gonna sit here and pretend that I played this cute lil perfect social game, because I know my game was flawed in many ways. If you feel hurt by anything that I did, I encourage you to address it in your jury questions and I will be more than happy to give you an explanation. Did I enjoy having to lie to some of you to get to where I am? Absolutely not. But I have been doing what’s best for my game in order to secure my spot in the final two and I stand by every decision that I made.
Alright, enough about my social game amirite. Let’s talk about my performance in the competitions. If your decision to vote for a winner came down to who was stronger in competitions, I would bet that most if not all of you would cast your vote for Lori. However, I think I held my own when it came to competitions this season. Lori has 5 wins under her belt, I have 3. One of Lori’s wins, the final 5 HoH, came down to a tie-breaker between her and I. The PoV in week 7, “The Last Key”, I 100% threw to Lori [she knows what I’m talking about
]. I’m not trying to take away from her wins, but I am saying that at least 2 of her wins could have just as easily been 2 of mine and it could have been me with 5 wins and her with 3. Also, I came in second place in various competitions. Now I know what you’re thinking: “Drew, 2nd place is just as good as last place when it comes to comps. You didn’t win - point blank and the period” But what I’m trying to get at is that I wasn’t a total moron in competitions. My physical game was almost if not just as good as Lori's.Overall, I feel like I’ve played a great game. Strategically, socially, and physically, I think I have proven that I have earned my spot in the final two. I made strong moves when I needed to and I layed low when I needed to. This is by far the best game I have played out of all the ORG games I’ve been apart of and I hope that you guys would consider giving me your vote as it would mean the world to me. G’luck Lori! <3
