-- Final Vote --
(Estelle vs. Dominic)
As I was awaiting the finalists to address the jurors, I fully intended to vote for Dominic to win this game. Out of loyalty, because although he doesn't believe so -- I had his back through and through (90% of the time, there was a few rounds where I was bitter) and wanted to see a friend win this game. However; his answers towards my jury questions were rushed, and showed me that he didn't really care about my vote or giving me an explanation. Not only did I feel disrespected by his lack of effort, especially in comparison to the other responses... But he also downplayed the most personal alliance that was made in this game because it was made in person. He discredited this alliance because it was made over the summer, although correction -- It was in October, when I last saw him which was after the cast was announced and less than two months before the game started. I don't feel like that should be looked down upon at all, but he did say numerous times that he is entitled to his own opinion. Regarding Dominic, I also don't appreciate him saying that I was using my girlfriend to sway his vote. It's a ridiculous accusation and completely illogical. We've all been known to justify our wrong doings with ridiculous excuses from time to time, and if that's the scapegoat that he wants to use, then so be it... But it's not deserving of my vote.
My biggest issue with Estelle for a long time now is her complete insincerity towards me. I've always known she was Animal, and I've always known that she wasn't a fan of me because people talk in these games and no one values loyalty anymore. And in season three, and in the beginning of season four -- When I would initiate a conversation with Estelle she would be sweet and fake and completely irritate me because she wouldn't confront the elephant in the room even when I gave her opportunities to do so by confronting the past. Although Estelle answered many of her jury questions, and especially mine with a sense of titillation and it came across insincere at times -- I respect her very much. I wish that she was more raw, but I accept that it's not a trait that everyone has (although from my limited knowledge of Estelle, she is very capable of stepping up the rawness). I appreciate her willingness to own up to mistakes, and her tact when discussing impressive moves in the game. Although this was her game to lose; she made no major mistakes and played an excellent game. I can't ethically vote for someone else, and say that they deserved it more than Estelle.
I choose to vote for Estelle as the winner of Big Brother: Rise and Fall All Stars.
