Heather's Holding

(I typed up a beautiful, poignant speech and then I hit a button and it was all gone... )



So... let me try this again!

I'd like to start by saying congrats to both of you! I'm seriously so proud of you two for making it to this point. Once I got evicted, this outcome was definitely the one that I was hoping for, so yay!

Not only were you two of my closest my allies, you're also both phenomenal Big Brother players, so no matter who gets the most votes tonight, Allstars 2 is gonna to have an amazing winner.

I'm leaning a certain way with my vote right now, but I would like some clarity on a few personal things before I finalize my decision.

Both of you were my friends coming into this house, but almost immediately it felt like things were a little bit awkward between the three of us. While I was interested in the prospect of possibly working with you guys, I got the impression that everyone just sort of assumed that I would be with Casey and Shilpa no matter what, and since they were both being targeted, I was kinda left to fend for myself for a while. Eventually that changed and we became really close allies but I've always been curious about a few things...

What were your perceptions of what was going on in the beginning with all of that drama? Also, where did I factor into your plans at first? Did you two always plan to try and scoop me up once all of my other friends were gone, or was that a more organic process that happened over time?

Also had our plans not gone horribly wrong once jury hit, how did you guys ideally want to see the endgame play out? How far did each of you want to go with me (and with Memphis)? I know that you both had your side deals, we all did, so I'm just wondering.

Once again you guys are rockstars! Multi-daily Skype strategy-and-goofing-off sessions with 'Gatorade' were definitely the highlight of the summer for me, so thank you for that and thanks in advance for answering my questions! Good luck!

Thanks love!
Coming into this game, I expected us to be very close. You were someone I could have easily formed a final 2 with at the start. Obviously we didn't do that, and I wasn't going to make commitments with 3 people lol, but I think we both knew we would be safe with eachother for a long time. The fact you didn't discuss working very closely together made me think you had something going on with Shilpa. (Final 2 wise) I didn't mind or care, but what caused friction with us was when Candice came to Nick and I and revealed that Shilpa tried to start a foursome with herself/you/Candice/Casey. Most of the fallout was mostly directed at Shilpa. I wasn't really mad at you about it. Sure it bugged me a bit if it was true, but I still ultimately felt you'd want to work with me. But you weren't a top ally for me at the start and that had a little to do with it. In those first few rounds I had the trio, Memphis, Nick, Nicole, and Rachelle as higher allies than you based on my game conversations. (Ignoring our prior friendship) I was making alliances that you were not apart of and it did have a lot to do with the fact we were never on the same page.

Nick and I actually had quite a few chats about how if Shilpa, Casey, etc left that you'd be more easily with us.

The time you and I REALLY got close was during your Co-HoH with Boog. You showed me loyalty and protection and in turn you became one of my closest allies. That was definitely an organic process. We got so close after being nominated together that if I had lost Memphis and Nick both you were going to be my ride or die. Though I did consider replacing you with Cheyenne Fields <3

I would have loved the end game to be comprised of Gatorade, Brian, and Heaven. For a large portion of the game those were the people I trusted the most, especially during the time you left. I think I'd have been in a really good spot. I'd have definitely liked that Final 4. I figured if Memphis had ever left you'd go with me to the final two.

I think you should vote for me for being loyal to you and to our group. That group was my rock for a lot of my stressful times. Nick can say he'd evict me all he wants, because it looks great in front of the Jury. But bottom line is they (and he) couldn't take me out and if I was SUCH a threat to win, as they all so claimed, they failed. Of course players like Neda and maybe Brian would have probably kept him vs me on the block. People exited the game saying I'd win whereas people left the game sour at Nick. Why wouldn't he be a more viable final two opponent? I think I got here much more clean.

Thanks Heather!

lmao ok let me correct you guys on something you're misremembering

i didn't mention shilpa saying anything about a pregame alliance until AFTER the vote was set on casey, while we were on skype discussing how to handle it. i wasn't sure if it was a legitimate thing at the time but i was (unreasonably) nervous about my position within that 4 if it did come to be and i told you guys as much

Thanks guys! Congrats again on making it to the finals! Best of luck to you both!
