Rachel's opening statement

[Rachel Reilly]

Hello jury =D

I'm going to be completely honest in my opening statement. I didn't win any competitions, except for when it REALLY mattered to me. I came into this game knowing that I was a very likeable person in this game. I instantly made a lot of friends and I didn't make a big huge alliance in the beginning or really give my complete loyalty to anyone. When I talked to everyone I basically made it seem like I was on their side.

I knew that if I won a competition and nominated people then people would know what side I was on, which I DID NOT want people to know, I know several of you were probably confused on what side I was on. As you can see in many of the competitions I completely SUCKED, ill be honest, its because I didnt try on the ones that I didnt need to. Me not winning competitions kept me looking less threatening than other people in the game. When you are playing a game with Jen,Annie,Jason, Justin, Enzo James, Brian, Amanda etc... who were pretty big personalities with the ability to win competitions, acting like you are not as good at competitions as them I think got me farther than if I won a couple competitions in the beginning.

Whenever someone won Hoh I basically sucked up to them hardcore, told them how proud I was and made it seem like I was totally on their side, when in the end, the only side I was on was the person in power.

You can either respect how I played or not respect it, truth is their is method to trying to look like a weak player, I made the final 2 when the rest of you didn't. Enzo was my brute competition winner, and when I know I needed him to stay in the game I saved him with the veto.

James and Brian, it was great playing with you two again, you guys were the ones I REALLY wanted out for like a LONG time haha, but you guys are rad dudes and in a way I feel like I won because in our season you guys beat me, and in this season I made it farther than you guys, its sorta sweet justice to me.

James, I really respect you ALOT more in this game than I did in the past, I really actually did enjoy talking to you that one day where I sorta let you in on what I was thinking and how much Brian pissed me off by nominating me, lol.

Which Brian, it was smart of you to nominate me because had I won, you two were the only ones I sorta didn't really have a nice "alliance" with and I wouldn't have felt as bad nominating you two.


Anyways, bring on the questions.
