Here Keesha will ask her question or make her statements to the final 2

[Keesha Smith]

Hey guys! You obviously played an awesome game if you made it to the final 2. Congrats!

David: You were an amazing social player! Wow. We had some good conversations, I would say, so how come you backdoored me?

Erika: Congrats on making final 2. What did you do right to get yourself to the final 2?

And those are my questions. Good luck to the both of you!

[Erika Landin]

Hey Keesha...thanks for the congrats

My best move was making my alliance with David for sure. I gave him my word, and when I give my true word, I don't betray. In a game where you're supposed to always be lying, I was 100% honest with my one true ally, and it got me where I needed to be.

Also, winning the final 4 veto all but secured it for me. It was the only competition I had to win all season. Winning competitions is not necessary to get to the end. I mean, did any of you honestly see me as a threat? Yet, here I am in the final two. I must have done something right

I hope this answers your question Keesha.

[Keesha Smith]

It does. You're doing a good job on your jury answers.

Hey Keesha!
Ok, by that time final 8, I had been approached by Matty for a 2 guy 2 girl alliance. I think he was thinking you, or Ashlea, and I brought in Erika. When I won that HOH, I honestly didn't know if it was best for me strategically to win it, I think I was laughing at both the Frienemies game and the Plate Smash game because I thought "there's no way I'm not gonna look like a threat anymore LMAO" However I did win it, and for the most part I knew could nominate Lisa, and I decided to put up Neil because I felt he wouldn't have gone after me as hard had he stayed. My alliance was gunning for Will mostly but also you. So I didn't want to put both of you up because I felt neither of you would go after me unless I gave you reason. The thought came up that at some point I would have to pick should either Lisa or Neil win that veto. So I told my alliance about the possibility of back dooring you. I basically had to chose between you and Will at that point because I couldn't put up my alliance and make logic sense of it, and I couldn't risk becoming a target myself in the game, so I basically decided to make it a backdoor whoever I chose.

My reasons for picking you over Will was that I knew Matty was after Will, Erika mentioned Will as a threat, Ashlea nominated Will the past week, so I knew/assumed I could still have him as a player that wouldn't put me up. However, the biggest factor was that Erika sent me a PM where you asked her who she was working with. I assume it was because she picked me in the frienemies comp to eliminate a player. I figured/assumed you were onto me. So I told Neil that had I won the veto I would save him and I let him in on the plan. It was a pretty strategically packed week for me since I had to keep my allies in the game, and also eliminate a player and try to keep as many people trusting me the next week as I could. I think I pulled it off. Hopefully that answers it
