You wont get a peep out of me on who's in the final 3!
Absolutely not. I mean, honestly, even if I do get to the end, there are hundreds of thousands of votes that are cast and so quite a niche message board like this maybe wouldn't make a huge dent? Not to downplay this message board, because you are all incredibly active in the community. Nah I joined because I saw Estelle and Tully having a great time interacting with you all and telling their stories and giving insights, and after last nights episode where my character was ripped to shreds, I am compelled to try and salvage my name, if possible.
Ive been wanting to answer this for AGES. So the reason Reggie wasnt evicted or put up had nothing to do with her being strategic or socially incredible. She is an AMAZING person, so full of laughter and fun and incredible banter, of course we all know that, but she was obviously voting out newbies in a game! I dont think it has been shown enough how caring and incredible all of the housemates were in regards to her being disabled with a sick child. We knew that she was in there for something bigger than herself; that shes a symbol of the Aussie battler, who has and is continuing to have it tough, and everyone wanted her to get further because the longer shes in the game, the more chance she has of getting her voice heard, getting support in the outside world, just all good things.
I think a lot of people that have been evicted should get kudos for not putting Reg in the firing line even though she was constantly a vote against them. The same situation happened with Dave, because he is such a good force in this world for his RuffTrack kids (check it out. if you havent already).
That is exactly what made me come here! But not to repair a tarnished image, more so give context into it, because like I said in my first post, its hard when what is shown on screen is not nearly close to what happened. Like
@Estelle.Landy, you were there, was there more to that scramble than just me and everyone trying to get out Tully? I actually didnt think it would be a problem coming in here at this point, but I totally understand now that it looks a bit suss maybe? But also like im not trying to hide the fact that Im in here to explain my moves, because they are honestly SO much more complex than just "Tully didnt vote me HoH so no I CAVEMAN ANGRY". Like let me tell you something, I got ONE vote for HoH...I knew I wasnt getting HoH that day haha. We all know where the votes are most likely to go. I WAS NOT angry or annoyed at all that I didnt get HoH. In fact, putting Tully up had NOTHING to do with HoH at all.
This is very very kind of you bleachy! I am a HUGE survivor fan, and love the whole gameplay and strategy aspect of it all, but in the end, both BB and Survivor are SOCIAL games. And I knew that if I could make it past the first 2 weeks Id have a good chance of staying a while because my relationships arent explosive, i tend to them over time and get to know people deeply, because for me thats what life is about: relationships. I knew that if I had time to develop those relationships I would do well in the game, and it was fascinating for me to be able to bring. such a genuine love of people and characters into a game where youre trying to get as far in as you can. And like I said before, I am a goofball but I didnt really know it! Like its so nice to see yourself and how you interact in a show like this. In some ways, its a documentary about yourself, and for someone like me who is always trying to understand myself and why i do things, its giving me great insight into someone (me) i in some ways dont know a lot about haha! does that make sense?!
I AGREE WITH THIS 100%. I have NO problems being the villain. I think its so so so fucking cool and fun, and in this game you cant just fly under the radar the entire time. I knew that putting myself in the limelight a bit would mean I'd be polarising, ESPECIALLY with an OG cast who have already a backstory and are well known. The ONLY hard thing about being vilified last night is that its a bit harder to own it because I would not say the way it was portrayed is 100% accurate to what I wanted. To be a villain under my own actions and volition is fine, but to be one because something MAY have been misconstrued is harder. BUT even saying that, I wouldnt change anything, because even being misconstrued is an experience, and I am relishing every moment of this show at the moment.
