Charlie,
I will always cherish our game of "guess which vote was ours" and the savagery we exchanged; however, I'll be honest I viewed you as another number. It seems the perception of the jury was that you were "forgettable." I have to echo that sentiment, because I remember only a handful of exchanges we had. Your opening statement took me a bit by surprise in the sharing of power portion because of this. With that said, you were always still the charlie of charlie's MILFs for me. I was rooting for you in those challenges and am super proud of your newfound challenge beast status. I hope you were able to pick up on the charlie's angels emojis I threw at you.
My questions to you are going to focus on your strategy portion of the game, as well as your social game.
1) You said in a tribal that you were a social player, and this was played up tremendously in your opening remarks. If this were true why do you feel that that most found you forgettable? Take this opportunity to change our minds.
2) What was your biggest move in the game, as far as the strategy portion of this game? How did you manipulate the votes to your advantage?
3) What was your biggest regret in the game, if any, and what would you have done differently?
4) You obviously played into my hands with my manipulation of you. Tell me of a time that you manipulated someone else for a long term plan.
5) Was this your ideal final 3? Why/Why not?
6) What was your game going into this, and do you believe you were successful in executing that? Did you have to change your strategy at all? Elaboration, please.
Good luck, charlie! We still have to finish our game and catch up on RuPaul!
To all three of you, I cannot stress enough how awesome it is to see my allies sitting in the top 3 spots. I still wish it were me, but I think we all know at this point I'd have swept. So I have no hard feelings towards any of you, and wish you all the best of luck!
1. Wow I am very glad that you shared this bit of knowledge with me. I am surprised to hear it but I said in my answer to Ron I was coming to this final tribal to learn the most I have yet in this game! Forgettable isn't something that gets ascribed to me often. I tried to make the social connection with people that I knew people would respond to. With you and Lauren it was being devious and cracking jokes whereas for Gill and Randy and Michelle it was deep conversations and a lot of self-reflection. Chris and I had huge conversations about everything and anything and I always made sure to check in on everyone else and ask more questions about them. I listened a lot and maybe my personality didn't come through as much as I thought it did.
But I did always consider that my perspective was wrong. I got a little too confident at the end of the game it would appear as far as this tribal council is going, but in the early game I was always considering the possibility that I was wrong about the social connections I had formed which was why I needed to keep so many options open. There was always a back up plan with the other alliances I had available to me even if I was most loyal to Charlie's Angels because I thought it served me the best.
2. The turning point for my game was Devens, so many were on Chris and you almost flipped the vote but I made sure that vote stayed strong, I told everyone to trust me and I was confidence that everyone who I was aligned to (except Chris who never did vote with me). I had to give up on the strategy of displacing the source of my ideas in order to manage threat level and instead be straightforward about what I wanted to happen in the vote. And I had to admit that I was sure of the votes which could have easily exposed how tight my alliances were with Ron and Matty if you had given me more credence as a threat.
3. I would have taken more ownership of my moves in the game. I thought not bragging about my successes the morning after the votes in the end game was critical at avoiding a target on my back. But I should have been more confident in my challenge abilities and gone from a little bold to super bold during that time since I ripped through to the end anyway.
4. Ron Chris and Matty were hugely manipulated by me in this game. I was not loyal to Chris from Day 1 and he believed me to be up until I voted him out. He was a threat to me and he was directly responsible for fucking up my plans at time which meant I was always going to get him out. I touted us as Parvati and Amanda but he was always going to be my Alexis or Natalie. Ron I insisted I was loyal to no matter how many times I ignored his plans and ideas. He also went the entire game believing I was loyal to him. Matty confronted me about a blindside plan that I had made with Michelle against him and I talked my way out of it turning it into a Final 2 deal.
You were the only person who manipulated me more than the opposite in this game and that's why I didn't tell you when you were going home. I had to let it happen because I knew you were the biggest threat to win. But I think I did a good job of using you while you were alive in the game. I told some of your secrets to people to strengthen bonds with the boys, I learned from you, I built you up as a threat whenever possible. I did love you more than you loved me but that's something that happens in life and I was always prepared to lose you anyway.
5. This was my ideal final 3. For one episode my ideal final 3 was with Ron and Gillian and I wished I had listened to that voice. But I firmly believed that Chris or Ron had engineered Mattygate, not Michelle. I should have suspected Michelle more for that vote especially since I knew she had big influence over Aurora. I still do think I edge her out overall when we consider the end game. But in hindsight I would have taken Ron.
6. My strategy going into this game was to be the sweet, adorable, harmless guy who was secretly fucking up all the plans underneath the surface. This is what I said in my interview and I absolutely intended to play this strategy coming into the game. When I got into the game however I wasn't as bold as I thought I would be. I think I would have followed up to that promise if Old Taraku had been able to vote. But when the swap happened and the girls explained what had happen I was terrified. The concept of copying and pasting chats if you'll remember telling me about was something that hit me hugely. It definitely scared me further under the radar in the game. I didn't end being the person who could make a last minute plan switch. I became the person who protects alliances and makes sure the vote goes as planned. I got the heat off of Ron and Chris on numerous occasions in order to ensure that my back up final 3 was always going to be intact. I was responsible for keeping the Devens vote as planned. I made sure the person who went home was the person the most likely to beat me in a challenge or vote me out. I still think my game included chaos because of the rumors and drama that I was apart of, but after the Devens vote I marched to the end in the center of the war huddle. My shields got picked away, I pushed people out to keep only those most loyal near me, and I made a difficult decision at the end on who to bring with me inside the castle. But it was my protective huddle and a blow never hit me in this game.
