Okay. Hello jury.
Im Dino, and I came to this game to play hard and to win against strong competitors.
Im not gonna rattle off my whole gameplay in the longest posts you ever saw because, honestly I don't think you people want to even read what I have to say. If you want me to afterwards, by all means let me know and I will.
I came into this game with a plan. My plan was to lay low till final 9, then pave a path to my seat in the final 2. I honestly thought it would be very easy, and no bullshit, you all were tough competition. With savvy thinkers and physical beasts and great people rounding out this cast, it was hard. But I did what I had to do.
The first and second week I used to form bonds with people, and by the end of week 2 I had a final 2 alliance with Duffy whom I was 100% loyal to and willing to go to the end with him because I knew that against him I would have a hard chance to win, but I knew anything was possible. I also got into an alliance with Kamani, Duffy, Caleb, and myself, and we all decided that Andrea's possy needed to go, with the plan being backdooring Andrea week 3.
But as Andrea's crew of herself, John, and Mimi continued to win competitions and change the plans, we decided to take out her followers in Jaxon, Toya, and Nick, even though later on I found out Jaxon was not even with Andrea. We got lucky Zuelke got banned as I also assumed she was part of Andrea's possy.
Fast forward a couple weeks. Im in a strong alliance, I had immunity the week before, and Im in a good position. But I feel Kamani feels too secure, and he also had recently brought in Bobby and Matt into the fold. I dont feel as safe anymore, and decide to make a move. I let Duffy know about this. I tell him we gotta flip to Andrea, and form a final 4 with her and Mimi. We have to save Andrea this week. He tells me he agrees, and since I have two votes this week it should be 5-3-0 for Jon to leave. However, he gets banned and forgets the plan and my two votes make a 4-4-0 tie. Luckily for me, Kamani is not around and Jon goes home in a poll.
Then, I need to do major damage control. Kamani is pissed. He thinks it was me. I throw Caleb and Matt I believe under the bus. I say it was them, so Kamani still trusts me. Then I tell Bobby I wont vote him out on the final 10 vote, but I actually do because he was the one person I was sure was safe, so i voted him because I had no time to read through my mails.
Final 9, the double eviction. I didn't throw HOH to Mimi, but I knew it was not end of the world. Then I find out her intentions are to backdoor Kamani, so I really want to play in veto because I still have Kamani on my side. But my internet crashes and I dont even have a chance to rally some votes.
Final 8, John puts me up for eviction, and I throw the veto to Duffy, my number one ally. He told me he would use it on me, but he doesn't. I get upset, but I still had votes in Matt, Caleb, and Duffy, whom we had just formed the Fantastic Four alliance. So I know Bobby is out the door.
Then, Andrea wins HOH and puts up the other three members of the Fantastic Four except me, but I realize I need to pull a Diane. I have to win veto and save one of my allies. I win veto, and tell Caleb Im gonna use it but then he says something like dont worry when you come off I'll evict Dino and the message was intended to Duffy not me. A little before the veto, Andrea tells me Duffy threw me under the bus. I was 100% willing to go to the end and lose to Duffy but he throws me under the bus. Im not okay with that. I save Matt, who is the only one who didnt give me a reason not to, and Andrea told me she was putting up John. Well, she puts up Mimi and I know Matt is evicting Mimi and John and I agree to evict Duffy.
That veto created a comp streak for me. I won 4 comps, 1 HOH and 3 vetoes, all consecutively. I won the F5 HOH, and put up Andrea, who I knew was still close with John, and John, my target. I then won veto, and I go
