~*Nicki Minaj’s Opening Statement*~
Queen Minaj here! Hi!! I am SO in shock to be sitting here in the finals! In order to really start out this “fight” to win, I feel like going through my game play would be a good start.
This game started GIRLS vs GUYS! I had an early alliance with Anna, Glori(with an idol), Angelina, and myself. I also had a strong bond with Rihanna, and Britney on the side! Sheri/Christina were both inactive. Lea wasn't very chatty. The group of four girls was my ideal alliance to work with at the start of this game. Christina leaving was an easy early boot, and we were killing it in the challenges.
In that final four alliance that I talked about above, I knew both Angelina and Glori on different levels. Outside of the game, from different series's from the past. Knowing this, and using those bonds helped me trust in that group. The only person being more of a mystery at that time was Anna. But I felt like, being 4 active females, and also talking to Rihanna/Britney on the side was a huge benefit and that I was in a great position with all of the girls on the tribe. In addition to this, I also knew Zac on the other tribe and early in the game was excited to perhaps talk to him in the future. And possibly work with him. I knew him from another game, but didn't know really how he played/how loyal he would be!
Here is a confessional from after the swap;
The guys on my tribe really have warmed up to me since the other girls have been very quiet thus far. I am feeling very very good about this new tribe and I think we are all pretty strong at the challenge right now. Ideally, we will win this and send the other tribe to tribal council. I feel bad for the girls over there but am hoping because of the idol..the only one I care about, Glori-Sophie, will be okay. Aside from that, I think Lea Michele may be toast. I like Britney but had nothing solid with her. If she can overcome it, I do think she would remain close to me at a merge. I have to care about myself right now though and winning challenges and bonding with the guys over here is going to be the best thing for me.
And;
Ugh! it seems as though the other tribes' males were throwing the challenge. Likely to vote out a female over there!! I hope Glori-Sophia can use her damn idol for good and take out a male over there. Show them who is boss. Otherwise, my tribe over here might need to consider voting out a male/throwing a challenge as well!! I hate playing games like that though. It is just bogus to think your first tribe is going to be the only people you play this game with. That is so boring! Ughy!!
Venus girls > Mars boys
We will see how the tribal council goes, but I hope my girls' can pull out and survive over there!! I am glad to have the immunity win!
The merge is went the chaos started! The one person I felt closest to at this merge was Angelina. We had that tight F4 at the start of the game and we survived up until this point together. Entering the merge, we were both unsure of where Anna stood as she was rarely active on the previous tribe and entering the merge she was never on AIM. We only could get in contact with her through PM. We also didn't know where Glori stood at all, because of her relationship with Colin. It felt like our ideal F4 girls alliance was kind of a bust, and we needed to quickly figure new shit out at this merge situation.
Talking to Zac, and knowing how much of a scum he was at this point(due to him betraying me in another game) added a little bit of hostility of working with him. However, I didn't shove him away 100% yet and tried to keep up conversations with him.
I felt bonded with Jeremy/Donald/Peter a little bit but them being a tight trio made it hard to ever truly get in with them.
After Colin left, everything turned into those 3 guys: Jeremy/Peter/Donald being a tight trio.
Here is a confessional after Colin's boot;
I had a long conversation with Zac Efron who voted me out at the last tribal council. In addition a long conversation with Angelina Jolie who is my #1 ally in this game.
Angelina, me, Rihanna, Lea Michele, and Anna have a chat going where us 5 girls are 100% sticking together.
Angelina talked a bit with Zac before he approached me. Zac let her know everything that was going on in the game, and how Jeremy/Donald/Peter lied to him and Glori during the last tribal council.
Ideally, Zac/Angelina want to grab the girls and Glori and vote out one of those three guys. They are saying they are a tight trio that needs to be broken up. It sounded like Angelina wanted Peter to go if he doesn't win the immunity necklace during the challenge.
We will see what happens. My idea is to also approach GLori, and make GLori/Zac/Me/Angelina a F4 alliance
In addition Me/Angelina would shave the 5 girls
We can take out these 3 guys and then me/angelina can turn on zac/glori and go to the final 3 with rhianna.
We will see, but ideally I think my spot is becoming a bit better as long as everyone is on the same page with breaking up those 3 boys at this upcoming tribal council.
Peter and Donald leaving was a benefit for me, for Angelina, for Zac, for Glori, For Neil, for Anna. That group of 3 was torn apart and only Jeremy was left.
And then Zac began to become the Zac that I knew. Lea ended up quitting, Angelina ended up getting voted out, and then Glori ended up quitting.
My game was turned upside down in literally one round
I am not mad at Zac for the move that he made. I don't even think it was necessarily stupid as Rihanna/Angelina/Me were likely the new trio that would have and to be dealt with at some point. However, it never stopped me from bitching at him and calling him a liar. =) Cuz I was for sure angry Minaj at that point in the game.
Final Six: Zac/Jeremy/Anna VS Me/Rihanna/Neil. If Glori stayed, I think things could have been drastically different after Angelina left. I think we could have prevented a tie at the final 6. But that tie, Neil/Rihanna/Myself were given a majority. We had the benefit of only myself being at chance to go. 1/3 is better then 2/3. We were going to get the majority, if luck was on our side. And we had a greater shot at having that luck on our side. We gained the majority and we took out Zac and Jeremy in 6th and 5th.
I played this entire game for myself, and even with allies were thrown to the wolves I re-set my entire status, and worked to survive in this game with the numbers.
When we got to the final 4, and Anna won the immunity necklace. She needed it to survive in this game. Rihanna and Neil were destined to be part of the tie breaker. But I didn't just let this happen, like it would have. I made sure Neil thought I would vote for Rihanna. I needed to make sure Rihanna and Neil, no matter how close I ultimately was with Rihanna, I didn't want the vote on me. I could not go through a tie breaker challenge. I had to rely on my social game, and not receive votes. I wanted to be in this top 3 for me. And I did it. I prevented myself from getting a vote at F4, and I made sure I was sitting here in the end with one of them: Neil/Rihanna.
I made it! Final 3! Something that was SO HARD to obtain. But something that I never kept my sight away from.
I want everyone to know, regardless of how they vote during this final tribal council. I have confessionals written for each and every round. I was online on AIM and on the board each and every round. I cared about this game incredibly. I loved it. I thank the host and co-host for a well-put together and awesome experience! And I wish the best of luck tonight to Neil and Anna.
