Okay speech time. First I want to say congrats to Jabbar on f2 :)
Now, for my gameplay. Right from the start of the game I knew I wanted to play the game with a trusted ally. This person ended up being Jabbar, who I approached for an alliance (possibly before he won the first hoh, but I'm not too sure tbh). Jabbar was straight-up and I could tell he knew the game in and out, so he was a good pick. During Jared's HoH the second week, I was nommed and it sparked a fire under my ass. I tried my best to win the veto but was bested by Maddie. This led me to make many side alliances, which included Maddie, Iris, and Luke. This kept me safe from eviction that week and the two following weeks since Iris and Maddie were HoH. I was in a pretty solid position for the majority of the second half of the game. I felt safe with my f2 with Jabbar (even though he apparently had other f2 deals lol), and I knew I wasn't the biggest target in the house. So I basically layed low for the middle of the game. After Shae won those two HoH's in a row, I viewed her as the biggest threat to beat me in the end. This led me to target her when I won the next HoH.
After Shae was gone, I knew I had a clear road to the final 2. Jabbar and I were still in it together against three basically inactive players. The idea did pop into my head that Jabbar would be a formidable competitor to be up against in f2, so I did attempt to make deals with Brady and JT, and if I had won the last HoH I was planning on taking JT with me. But once it came time for final 3, I felt completely secure that I had a spot in final 2. Therefore, I did not feel the need to win the last competition, as I felt both JT and Jabbar would take me with them.
I really enjoyed playing this game and I have no regrets about the way I played it. I think Jabbar and myself both played very well. My strategy of staying out of peoples' ways and letting them pick off each other worked perfectly. My game consisted of strategy, a few comp wins, and a solid social game. Just keep that in mind when you are voting :)
This was the first TG group game I ever joined and I'm glad it is finally coming to an end lol. It's been a fun ride <3 I'm ready for these jury questions
