Mercy from Marcellas?

[Marcellas Reynolds]

Since neither you bitches was really with me this whole game and both died of some plague during my eviction and couldn't be bothered to answer me in the hours leading up to it, congrats, you on even footing. So, well done making final two.

I have only one question. In big brother, I believe there are two kinds of players. The manipulator and the beggar.I believe you both had qualities of each kind.

Do you believe your big brother story will show you as more of a manipulator or a beggar? Whichever one is your dominant trait, you better have specific, detailed examples for. Also describe at least one instance where you could be described as having the other, less dominant, trait.

Thank you, bitches. Good luck!

Hi Marcellas!

I’ve played this game a lot differently than I have any other ORG. What I did differently is I took matters into my own hands and so I would say that manipulation was my more dominant trait during this game. The best example I have of me being manipulative is when I was trying to convince Danielle that nominating Jackie at final 6 was a move that would benefit not only me but her as well. I knew that nominating Jackie was clearly the best game move for me, but probably wasn’t the best game move for her. I lied and I manipulated the situation, but it paid off as I got exactly what I wanted that week. But my manipulation goes beyond the final 6. I would even say I used manipulation every week. I manipulated everyone’s perception of me because I know that when it comes to ORGs, perception is reality. So I made myself out to be a non threatening entity in the game; I made myself out to be a confidant for as many people as I could but at the end of the day I had to do what was best for my own personal game. An instance when I was a beggar would definitely be when Nick came back into the house after he had gotten evicted. Nicole, Nick, and I had an alliance, but I turned around and evicted him therefore burning a bridge between him and I. With him back in the house and him winning HoH that same week, I knew I was in deep trouble; I was literally begging him not to nominate me. Even though I still got nominated, I managed to shift the target from me and onto someone else and I lived to see another day in the house. Thank you for your question, Marc!

Hi Marcellas!

Sorry for not talking to you during eviction time. It was hard for me to bs with you because we hardly talked the entire time and you were my target that round. But please take it as a compliment. You had previously nominated me the round before. Also, you said it yourself, you would have voted me out of the house if the vote turned into a tie.... Which it almost did! But I have respect for you because of it because I did nominate you a few rounds prior.

As far as my game play of being a manipulator or beggar, I would have to say my game was more of an manipulator.

Manipulator:
I was enforcing the fact that there were too many players from season 15, while at the same time befriending and building alliances with them.

Explaining during week 6 to the house that Nick was a bigger threat in this game than I was. I played it cool with the house and made sure I had the votes to stay. That was the week I should have been taken out but that eviction was the most important in the season because that determined the side to gain control the rest of the game.

Getting my alliance and Andrew to back door you! That was for my selfish reason and I know you would have tried to take me out again if you were in power.

Being Nick's partner the first round. It was to save my ass so I can be safe and socialize. I did like him a lot but I did take advantage of the situation and made it look more like a friendship rather than I was just trying to hide in the crowd that round.

Helping Jessie Backdoor Nick round 3. I acted "conflicted" but knew the whole time he need to go so when I had conversations with people about the back door plan/vote. I knew what I was gonna do and tried to influence the situation to make it seem like they convinced me rather than me convincing others.

Making an alliance with Nick and Meg round 5. I pulled us 3 together because I already knew they were close and I need connections on both sides of the house. Even tho they weren't my number 1. I had them believe I was to save my ass that round since Nick was only able to nominate 6 people that round causing him to evict Victoria over Drew.

Beggar:

Getting Jackie Not to use the veto on Danielle week 9. I pretty much begged the hell out of her not to use it. It was because I was in a 4 person alliance and if she would have used the veto the only other person I would have been allowed to nominated was Andrew. And I did NOT want that to happen because it would have exposed us and would have messed up my game. Also, if Andrew would have been nominated he would have been gone. (My alliance had already been talking about taking him out)

Thank you Marcellas!! <3
