GM IN DA HOUSE

[GinaMarie Zimmerman]

I touch on everything in a lot more detail in the video BUT if you don't feel like watching the whole thing, then my questions are as follows:

Estelle~

1. Did it take Andrew and me leaving for you to tell yourself this that you need to step up your game a bit? I ask because there were many times in the beginning of the game where I just thought you weren't very into it and I did touch base with you about that while in the game. I go in further detail about this in the video.

2. How far would you have wanted me to go? Would we be in the F2 together? F3? What would your dream scenario have been? Would you have wanted to nominate me in your HOH reign towards the end? Make someone else do it?

Dominic

1. How come you evicted me the round I left? I still don't really understand it and I thought me staying around would've been a lot more helpful for your game then keeping Shane around.

2. Where did you see me coming into the game? Did you see me as someone you wanted out or someone you could potentially work with? Did you ever truly consider a winner's alliance and would you have wanted that or been opposed to it and why?

First off, please pay close attention to the music in the background

Anywho, as you'll hear in my video- I think yes and no yours and Andrew's eliminations were wake-up calls for me. Yes, because it made me realize I need to make big moves and it kind of MOTIVATED me to, but no because it had constantly been my plan from the beginning to kind of BE under the radar at times, since I was nominated week one I wanted not to be seen as a threat early on. I used this UTR period to form relationships and alliances with people, but not AGAINST people because I didn't wanna be seen as a threat. When Andrew left, I started planning and plotting against people, and I reconciled with certain people in order to be able to do it. However, when you left - I finally won HOH and had the ability to do it, I guess. However at times I was genuinely busy, but other times I was able to post a ton of confessionals and videos almost weekly!

In your second question, I always wanted F2 with you. I knew you possibly would have taken Rhian over me, so I never would have walked into the F3 with the two of you still, but I would not have made a move against you personally. Maybe Rhian in order to limit your options and kind of force you to go with me, but I never would have targeted you. As your ideal F3 with myself, you, and Rhian -- mine was myself, you, and Dominic. (Well, Andrew first but replaced by Dom). My F2 with Dominic became more genuinely real when you left and when we both kind of recognized we needed each other and when we stuck together.

Thanks for your questions, ILY so much and good luck with your vote. <3

Hey GM! Gonna try to get a video up tonight, but in case I run out of time, I will at least provide you with the textual answer to your questions.

First up, I do want to thank you for saying that your vote is up for grabs. Perhaps some may think it silly of me to assume that Estelle would get certain votes due to her previous friendships, but I honestly do feel like Estelle and I played comparable games, and so, when it comes down to it, something like a previous friendship can definitely tip the scales in favor of one person over the other. So regardless of how you vote, I appreciate your willingness to give me a shot, despite not having the same friendship connection that you have with Estelle!

As for your questions...

1. How come you evicted me the round I left? I still don't really understand it and I thought me staying around would've been a lot more helpful for your game then keeping Shane around.

So when the votes were being rallied, I talked to you this round, and unless I am remembering wrong, you either alluded to or said that you pretty much had all the votes you needed locked, if not extra. And, at that time, I was happy about that, because I did feel like you were on my side. We had reconciled after you'd nominated me during the pairs week, and I wasn't holding it against you because it made sense why you would. So, while I assumed you would stay, I was still also very wary of your connections and strength in the game, despite feeling like I was safe with you at that moment. I orignially cast my vote to evict you as a "wtf" thing to try to get you focused on who was targetting you. It was meant as a scare tactic to kind of stir the pot, as I assumed you'd be staying. I didn't think you'd suspect me. And then, as I talked to Estelle and a few others that round, it was apparent that maybe you didn't have the votes to stay, and that it would be closer than originally thought. This left me to consider if I should switch my vote to Shane. I also was close to Shane, and while I didn't think he'd be as big of an ally in trying to take out the other side, I definitely knew him better and was closer with him, so there was comfort in keeping him for that reason alone. And then, as the night went on, I actually did get drunk because I was out with friends. I never went back to change the vote. I'm not sure I would have changed it, had I been sober, as I was very back and forth that round anyways. I knew the farther you went in the game, the harder it would be to take you out. I also knew you were closer to Estelle than I liked, since she was also my ally. I feared that I would be at the bottom of the 4-some of myself, you, Estelle, and Rhian, which, looking back, is probably true. So... it wasn't that I really wanted you out that round, but more so that things just kinda happened, and I never went back and switched the vote. Put it this way, there were pros and cons for both of you leaving, and to be honest, I was back and forth in my mind most of the time about what I really wanted to see happen.

2. Where did you see me coming into the game? Did you see me as someone you wanted out or someone you could potentially work with? Did you ever truly consider a winner's alliance and would you have wanted that or been opposed to it and why?

I honestly was a little intimidated by you at first. I knew you were a previous winner, and it seemed that season 4 was doing well socially. I didn't really have any cross hairs on you, and when the idea of a winners' alliance was brought up, I definitely considered it. I knew though, that I would have been the bottom of the totem pole. The reason it even came up was because I was talking to Mariah about this season before it even started... and I said something like "I just wanna be the last winner standing!" And I was just kind of running my mouth. Mariah mentioned how she's friends with all the previous winners, so if I was going to beat them, she at least wanted us in the final 4. This conversation was all in fun and not really serious. Apparently, when I repeated this convo, as a joke, people took it as me wanting to target the previous winners, which wasn't the case. And then, it got twisted into me making a winners' alliance, which I wasn't really trying to do either, since I knew I was kind of the odd man out, as the other 3 of you knew each other on a few different levels. Hope that clears things up!

Overall, you were never really a specific target of mine, but I also recognized your potential and strength, and that sometimes made me wary of you.

I'll try to get a video up, as I feel like you'll get a more genuine feel for my thoughts! Thanks again, and best of luck making your decision.

Thanks for your answers Dom! I appreciate you being honest with me about it.

Good luck to you as well!
