Did you miss me?
I know it must have been hard for you without me in the house as I was such a beacon light for you both.
I feel like it goes without saying that you both deserve a huge congratulations for making it to the final two.
I’m so fucking bitter, but I can’t say anything that’s specifically negative about either one of you.
I will be transparent in saying that I’m definitely leaning a certain way at the moment but I’m trying my best to stay open minded
and I’ll take both of your statements in conjunction with your jury responses to determine my final decision.
So I also want to say sorry if my questions kind of bleed into other areas that the other house guests may have touched upon.
At the start of writing this I hadn't had the opportunity to check in with everyone's questions.
Either way lets move onto the questions...

[attr="class","trying"] [attr="class","we1"] [attr="class","lost1"]Corey - Jury Question [attr="class","rise"] [attr="class","dying1"] [attr="class","mouths1"]Let's start with Corey.
So, I think the obvious critique you’re going to receive throughout this is that one of the large factors of why you made it to where you are was due to the fact people considered you a non-threat and therefore didn’t feel the need to target you. You can argue that you kept the people around that you thought were bigger threats to use as shield, but ultimately if you’re playing up that you’re a non-threat how is keeping them around right up until end-game a feasible plan of action?
Did you think you could beat Natalie/Porsche/Kelsey?
Was it in your plan to have them in the final four or was it purely a result of your lack of challenge wins?
You were a part of voting out Arlie/Erika and myself (who you arguably would of had a much greater chance of beating at the end). In keeping any of us I don’t feel like you would have jeopardised your position or journey to the end.
Was voting the three of us out what you wanted? Or is it something you felt you couldn’t change so decided not to rock the boat?

[attr="class","trying"] [attr="class","we1"] [attr="class","lost1"]Porsche - Jury Question [attr="class","rise"] [attr="class","dying1"] [attr="class","mouths1"]Now onto Porsche.
You fucking bitch. I can’t believe I let this happen again... Here I was wrapped up in how cute I thought our arc was in the potential of getting that moment of poetic justic when I could finally give you that third place you gave me back in thirteen.! In all seriousness, I tried my best if anything this season to show that I’ve changed. Making an effort to not let past actions determine my own this time around and that I would attempt to mend past relationship. I think we showcased that and despite you being a main contributor to my final position I think we made a strong pair for the large majority of our time in the house and I’m glad you didn’t continue to target me (even though you put me up week one you shady hoe).
Now onto the serious business, I’ve played with you before obviously and you sat in this position last time and I decided not to vote for you to win. Largely based on the fact that you turned against me very early on in thirteen, this time around why should I make the change and vote for you to win?
So, I’m honestly having a hard time critiquing your game, so maybe I need to rethink how I approach this?
Maybe I can take it in this direction…
What do you think was your biggest mistake during the season?
If you could go back and change something whether it was a specific vote/alliance formed or lack of I’d be interested to know what that is.
Also, what do you think sets you apart as an All Star?
Sure you played a very clean game but maybe I’d argue it wasn’t anything flashy or interesting. You argued in Ika’s question that you thought Corey was one of the more forgettable housemates but I actually think it’s possible that he could be considered more memorable (even if not necessarily for a good reason).
[attr="class","lying1"]Obviously, a huge congratulations aswell, I can’t believe I let you do this twice in a row. ulla [newclass=.we1]background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/VoAaBoz.png);height:380px;width:400px;padding-top:120px;overflow:hidden;[/newclass][newclass=.avatar]background-color:#363636;width:50%;padding:10px;opacity:.9;transition:1s;border:#666 1px solid;padding-top:30px;padding-bottom:30px;transition-delay:2.5s;[/newclass][newclass=.lost1]font-size:12px;font-family:Alegreya Sans SC;color:#fff;letter-spacing:2px;padding:10px;background-color:#363636;opacity:.9;border:#666 1px solid;width:50%;transition:1s;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;transition-delay:2.5s;[/newclass][newclass=.trying:hover .lost1]opacity:0;transition:1s;[/newclass][newclass=.trying:hover .avatar]opacity:0;transition:1s;[/newclass][newclass=.rise]padding-top:25px;height:475px;width:400px;background-color:#272727;opacity:.8;margin-top:200px;transition:2s;transition-delay:1s;[/newclass][newclass=.trying:hover .rise]margin-top:-360px;transition:1.5s;transition-delay:1s;[/newclass][newclass=.dying1]width:80%;padding:10px;background-color:#1a1a1a;border:#444 1px solid;opacity:0;transition:1s;[/newclass][newclass=.mouths1]color:#eee;font-size:10px;text-align:justify;height:370px;overflow:auto;padding:5px;[/newclass][newclass=.lying1]width:80%;padding:3px;background-color:#1a1a1a;color:#777;font-size:10px;text-align:left;border:#444 1px solid;margin-top:10px;padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px;opacity:0;transition:1s;[/newclass][newclass=.trying:hover .dying1]opacity:1;transition:1s;transition-delay:2.5s;[/newclass][newclass=.trying:hover .lying1]opacity:1;transition:1s;transition-delay:2.5s;[/newclass][newclass=.trying ::-webkit-scrollbar]width:7px;[/newclass][newclass=.trying ::-webkit-scrollbar-track-piece]background:#444;border-left:3px solid #1a1a1a;border-right:3px solid #1a1a1a;[/newclass][newclass=.trying ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb]background:#000;border:#444 1px solid;[/newclass][newclass=.dying1 b]color:#508ACC[/newclass][googlefont=Alegreya Sans SC] |

Hey Cody! I'm happy to see you again, and I agree with everything you said about our relationship. In season 13, I turned against you early on and we spent the rest of the game on opposite sides. I was also up against Sarah, who was half of the Hide 'n Seekers and used the DPOV on you. Quite understandably, you voted for her.
Our relationship this game was much different. We started off nominating each other (and you cruelly nominated me for the first time in my RNF career  ) but we kept talking and slowly we got closer and closer. We both realized that even though we nominated each other early on, we were more trustworthy to each other than many of the other players in the game. And from that point on, we were really close and helped each other out. You kept me safe when I was on the block and gave me a ton of great information, and when you were on the block, I pushed for you to stay both times.
So all of this is me saying that there are two reasons you should vote for me to win. The first is simply that I played a better game than Corey. The second is because of our relationship. We were on opposite sides in 13, and in this game, we got to experience what it was like to work together and be really close. And even though it didn't end the way you wanted, I really enjoyed our relationship. You were closer to Sarah than Porsche 1.0, but Corey isn't Sarah, and Porsche 2.0 had a much better relationship with you than Porsche 1.0 did.
There's also a third reason you should vote for me. When I first saw your questions, I was on my phone and saw this
Then I checked on my computer. This time it worked and the graphics looked great, but I was sad because I wanted to tease you for messing up the formatting. You should give me your vote to cheer me up.
I feel like I played a really great strategic game, possibly the best in the cast. There really isn't a move I made that I regretted. Zach told me it was a mistake to vote him off over Natalie, but it panned out. If Zach is the HOH at the final 7, I don't think he targets Erika like Natalie did.
But saying I didn't make a mistake is a copout. The early part of this game was really hard for me, and one of the worst rounds was when Jackie won HOH and backdoored Shelli. Jen was pushing for Jackie to be evicted in round 2 but I didn't go along with it. Now, I don't know how loyal Tiffany would have been to me, and I don't know if it would have even been possible to get the votes. But if Tiffany stayed over Jackie, I think I would have been better off.
There were several jurors (Howard, Jackie, Ika) and even prejurors like Becky who I had solid relationships with. We would talk about life and watch shows together, but I didn't have much of a game relationship with any of them. I had a little bit of a game relationship with them, and Howard and Jackie kept me safe on their HOHes, but I never got the chance to actually play with them, and the game might have been more fun if I had.
I also would have liked to connect with Natalie earlier.
That makes me sad that you feel that way. I would have thought our relationship was good enough where I would have been memorable, at least to you.
I may not have been as flashy as someone like Kelsey, but I'm not up against Kelsey. I'm up against Corey. All I know about my game is from what I've seen from my perspective. I don't know what the housecallers think of me and I don't know how entertaining I was to the jury. But from my perspective, I saw myself as an active player. And after the jury started, I was making moves or doing something interesting almost every round.
There are a couple things that set me apart as an all star. The first is my dedication. I really care about this series and I'm hungry to get the win. I'm willing to do whatever it takes, whether it's going for 9 hours in endurance posting twice a minute, or backstabbing close allies. The other thing that sets me apart is my social game. In season 13, my social game was stellar and I was close to or allied with pretty much everyone in the cast. In this game, I didn't have as many alliances but I had relationships with everyone and I was told multiple times how good my social game was. A large part of this once again comes down to my dedication. Maintaining a really good social game in an ORG is really, really hard, especially when you're expected to talk to 19 different players. But I put in the work, talked to everyone, and never gave up on anyone, even if I was upset with them. My relationship with you is proof of that. |

Man, I am glad you consider me the infamous memorable villain of the season! I like the ring to that. Porsche Who? I only remember Corey, the star of the season! I mean I know I am the underdog, and I know that it would have been the same situation for all three. With the hype for Kelsey the entire season I knew that that would have been a fun finale. I think I had a good chance against either Natalie or Porsche going into the finals. I think Natalie had a lot of people in her corner, but I felt my position in the Dark Side alliance would give me the advantage of her. Whereas my argument against Porsche is I think coming down the stretch I was in a much better spot than her. Even though you told her about the deal you off me, maybe this is my shot in the foot but I am pretty confident we would have stuck together to the end. With the above being said this was not my ideal final four. I really wanted Kelsey out at either Final 6 or Final 5, unfortunately the challenges did not line up for that to happen. But if I could switch you with Kelsey that would have been my ideal final four. Honestly the challenge that I was the most upset about losing was that damn Magic # challenge. I spent a solid two hours on that challenge before Kat put me out of my misery because I knew if I was able to win I would be able to take you down and send Kelsey home. Of course this doesn't help my position to win that much, but atleast it shows that I had a main plan, and the backup plan was the one that worked out. Arlie - I mentioned it a couple times. I tried to extend an olive branch when I was HoH to him and felt that it had been rejected. You were the one that was up and I knew you were going to be locked and loaded against Kelsey as well as remain the target for Howie/Natalie. I think at final eight this was still self preservation. I was the swing vote so this was definitely my decision. Erika - Maybe I am wrong, but I don't think Erika would have been any easier to beat in the finals. Maybe that is a  thing to think but she had been the underdog since the jury started but still an aggressive and outgoing player. I had a much better relationship with Porsche. With that being said, had I wanted Porsche out it would have been difficult to pull off since we'd need one of Howie/Natalie/Kelsey but that was not something I wanted at that time. Cody - This round I didn't really have a choice. I was beyond pissed that I didn't win the HoH which was a challenge pretty much designed for me, and I already mentioned the veto. I tried to get Kelsey up but Porsche made the right call and kept her in. So while the first two aligned with what I wanted to do in the game, this one was not something I wanted. Thanks for your Questions Cody! |

Also that coding is pretty bad ass. But same as Porsche I was a little confused when I opened up the mobile site and saw a load of gibberish.

Sorry for being a bitch with the code, I just needed to be the most extra.
Thank you both for your answers and good luck! |
