Questions

[Julie Chen]

Once Jessica and Laura have posted their Openning Statements the Jury may begin asking the Final 2 questions.

[Russell Kairouz]

I guess I'll start things off.

Right now I don't really want to vote for either one of you. Laura, you never really tried to communicate with me at all. Jessica, you lied to me and led me along into thinking you and I were aligned, but I was just a pawn for you.

You will both have to work for my vote, because I got some questions for you both.

Laura:
-What did you think of me as a player? Did you think I was weak and lucky with the Power of Veto competitions?
-Why didn't you try to talk to me at all? How did you think I would give you a vote to win if I never talked to you?
-Besides winning competitions, what 2 things did you do to get to this spot?
-How did you perceive me as a player? I acted like a fool and joked around a lot, but did you think I had an actual strategy, or that I was just "carried" by stronger players?
-If you and Jessica weren't the final two, who would you like to have seen as the final two, and who would you have voted for to win and why? And don't say "I wouldn't imagine anyone else in the Final Two" or some crap like that, because if you do, you will NOT get my vote.

Jessica:
-So our whole "alliance" was a sham. I was kinda aware of that early on, hence why I tried my hardest to win PoV competitions, because I knew you, Michele and Laura were tight. Did you think I knew that, or did you think I was an idiot and that I thought I was your only alliance?
-What did you think of me as a player? Did you think I was weak and lucky with the Power of Veto competitions?
-Besides winning competitions, what 2 things did you do to get to this spot?
-How did you perceive me as a player? I acted like a fool and joked around a lot, but did you think I had an actual strategy, or that I was just "carried" by stronger players?
-Was your plan the whole time to cut me off as soon as you could and make me think you would take me to the end?
-If you and Laura weren't the final two, who would you like to have seen as the final two, and who would you have voted for to win and why? And don't say "I wouldn't imagine anyone else in the Final Two" or some crap like that, because if you do, you will NOT get my vote.

[Laura Crosby]

Laura:
-What did you think of me as a player? Did you think I was weak and lucky with the Power of Veto competitions?
I don't think you were weak and lucky because obviously you did win a good about of PoV's which shows you are strong when you need to be. However, I feel like you kind of layed low for the most part but under the radar is a strategy and a good one. So therefore I do think you were strategic. You and I may not have communicated a lot but from what I hear you did communicate well with some other players. You obviously did a lot of things right considering how many times you were nominated yet you made it so far. I see you as being very strong for overcoming being nominated so many times!

-Why didn't you try to talk to me at all? How did you think I would give you a vote to win if I never talked to you?
I'm sorry that I didn't talk to you much but I did try to communicate with you at one point..if you look back at your inbox there is probably around 3 from me. I say hi and asked how you were and tried to get to know you. I didn't pursue much conversation with you because to be honest my alliances were elsewhere and there was no need for me to form a tight bond with you when you were not in my alliance. I knew at somepoint i'd have to put you up for eviction or vote you out so why should I be fake towards you when I really was never with you. That's why I never pursued a real tight bond with you. However you do seem like a very nice and intelligent person

-Besides winning competitions, what 2 things did you do to get to this spot?
Besides winning competitions I formed a strong alliance and I also was very strategic with certain moves I made. You know me and Jessica had a F2 alliance but besides that it was Jessica, Michele, and Jeff who I worked with as a whole. I chose to work with those 3 not just because I liked them socially and got along with them really well, but also because they were all pretty strong competitors and would win HoH's/PoV's. I wanted strong allies so that if they won HoH I wouldn't be nominated. One strategic move I made was urging to get Casey nominated/out. He probably doesn't know who I am because I made a new screen name but I know who he is from other games. I know that he is a very strong player in competitions and he lays low in the beginning but then will come out and win tons of competitions to get him far in the game. Whether or whether not he did that in this game I knew he was a potentional threat and I didn't want to keep him around long. So I feel urging to get him out when we did was a good move.

-How did you perceive me as a player? I acted like a fool and joked around a lot, but did you think I had an actual strategy, or that I was just "carried" by stronger players?
Like I said in your first question, you might have layed low during the game but I do think you were both strong and strategic. You overcomed being nominated multiple times, you never game up, and you made it very far. I might not know your exact strategy because I'm not you but whatever you did definately worked!

-If you and Jessica weren't the final two, who would you like to have seen as the final two, and who would you have voted for to win and why? And don't say "I wouldn't imagine anyone else in the Final Two" or some crap like that, because if you do, you will NOT get my vote.
If Jessica and I weren't the final two i'd have to say I would have liked to see Jeff and Michele in the final two. Simply because those were the other two I communicated with the most. I most likely would have voted for Michele because she was with me and Jessica from the very start and I always trusted her and made moves with her during the entire game. I also think she was a strong competitor and would have definitley deserved to win this game.


If you have anymore questions let me know! Thanks

-So our whole "alliance" was a sham. I was kinda aware of that early on, hence why I tried my hardest to win PoV competitions, because I knew you, Michele and Laura were tight. Did you think I knew that, or did you think I was an idiot and that I thought I was your only alliance?

I was pretty sure you knew about myself, Michele, and Laura being alligned. However, our alliance wasn't all fake. I really did trust you, and I wanted to bring you along to the final 4 no matter what. But when it got to the point where you could never win HoH and you were always nominated, and you couldn't vote, I was a little angry because you could never really help me out at all.

-What did you think of me as a player? Did you think I was weak and lucky with the Power of Veto competitions?

Absolutely not. I respected you for winning the Power of Veto Competitions. They were really all you had left to work for. I was actually happy when you won Power of Veto and made it another round. Because like I said earlier, I did want to bring you to the final 4.

-Besides winning competitions, what 2 things did you do to get to this spot?

Pure strategy and being social with the other Houseguests. I tried my best to talk to people that I wasn't alligned with. And when I talked to members of my alliance, or I made decisions as Head of Household, strategy was always involved in my decisions. I, like Laura, also campaigned hard for Casey to go. After I found out who he was, I think a few people really didn't want him here, since he would always win competitions when he needed them. I think me, Laura, and Michele all really worked hard for Casey to go. It was more of an alliance effort than an individual effort.

-How did you perceive me as a player? I acted like a fool and joked around a lot, but did you think I had an actual strategy, or that I was just "carried" by stronger players?

I think you definitely had a strategy. Your jokes and stuff made you well-liked by the other Houseguests. That is already a strategy. And winning Power of Veto Competitions is also a strategy. It was all you had left to depend on at that stage of the game because you gave up everything else just to be in the game!

-Was your plan the whole time to cut me off as soon as you could and make me think you would take me to the end?

No, like I said, I really wanted you to go to the final 4. After that, I wasn't sure what would happen. I had strong loyalties with Michele and Laura, but I was very open to possibly going to the final 2 with you, until you proved yourself to be an underdog that kept surviving week by week. I honestly didn't think I would be able to beat you in the final 2 because you played so hard and well.

-If you and Laura weren't the final two, who would you like to have seen as the final two, and who would you have voted for to win and why? And don't say "I wouldn't imagine anyone else in the Final Two" or some crap like that, because if you do, you will NOT get my vote.

I would've liked to see you and Michele in the final 2. Both of you were fierce competitors and definitely deserved a final 2 spot. It would've been interesting to see which one of you came out on top, because i bet it would be a close vote. And, besides Laura, I was closest to the two of you.

[Jessie Godderz]

Hey you two, probably the hottest Big Brother contestants ever, Jessica my fave in season 8, and Laura my pre game fav till you were evicted this season.

My question is.... Why does the other person sitting next to you deserve to win more than you? And if you think they don't deserve it, say it and bash all you want. I want honesty.


Good Luck!

[Laura Crosby]

My question is.... Why does the other person sitting next to you deserve to win more than you? And if you think they don't deserve it, say it and bash all you want. I want honesty.

I'm definately being honest when I say I love Jessica and have nothing bad to say about her. I truly think she deserves to win this just as much as I do just because we both played very similiar games. We were alligned throughout the whole game and had a final two deal from the very beginning. Because of this we made a lot of the same moves. She's won competitions, made strategic moves and has worked hard to get to this point, therefore those are reasons I believe that Jessica deserves to win

I feel like me and Laura did play very similar games. And when it came to decision making about moves in the game, I feel like I may have made more decisions. However, I feel like Laura may have been the ultimate social threat. Everyone really liked her, so that is why she would deserve to win!

[Julie Chen]

I have 4 Votes so far. I need 3 more votes!

[Casey Turner]

Okay! Sorry I wasn't around yesterday...it was my BDay. Woo!

Secondly...congrats on you both. I can't believe these idiots let you get to the finals. LMAO!

For the record, I know exactly who you are Laura. I've known all game...your mannerisms during convos gave you away. I knew you'd also be after me...which I was right about. I tried my best to counter on you guys, but nobody would wisen up for me. Oh wells!

Um. I think the right 2 people made the finals. Anyone says any different and they's just bitter asswipes.

I have no further comments or questions. I know who I'm voting to win of you 2. Good luck to you both though.

[Jessica Hughbanks]

Thanks, Casey!

So you know who I am too, then? :-p

[Michele Noonan]

I'm assuming he does, since he always refers to you in Jury as, "The Sisters".

[Laura Crosby]

Thanks Casey! And darnnn I thought I kept my identity hidden, guess you caught me
