Nick's Questions

[Nick Starcevic]

Hey girls! Congrats on the final 2! I can honestly say I don't think anyone saw you two sitting in the end but you managed. My vote is up in the air right now because you both played such different games. I think Michele you played the much more difficult of the games because you were a target for so long. Rachel you played your game with your head stuck up the HoH's ass which is an easier strategy but a strategy all the same.

My question is for you each to tell me about each player on the jury. I want as much info as you can give me since you both claim to be so social. Tell me:

1) What each player did right in their game.

2) What they did wrong.

3) Improvements you would have made upon their game.

4) Why you are more deserving of a final 2 spot more then the juror

5) Any other comments about the person you want to say

Finale Rank each Juror 1-7 on if we were playing Big Brother in Real Life, no partner twists, Who do you think would make it the farthest and why. 1 being the winner 7 being the first boot.

Thanks!

Karen - Karen had everyone's number. She talked to everyone and knew a little about each person. She had opinions of who she could trust, and she stayed loyal. She herself was a trustworthy player. People liked her and wanted her to do well.

What she did wrong - I think Karen's biggest mistake was aligning solely with Rachel. I know Rachel was her partner, but she didn't seem to take the time to really feel out other people. Rachel was doing whatever she could to keep the HOH happy, which as Mike pointed out in his question, was Karen's demise. When the HOH wanted her out, Rachel turned on her.

If I could improve upon her game, I think I would have made a larger alliance. Unfortunately, Karen couldn't get to Rachel before Rachel got to her.

I am more deserving than Karen because I was a little more social and kept my distance from the people that could do damage to my game. Unfortunately, her main alliance was the person that eventually helped take her out.

Karen, I trust enjoyed our conversations, and wish that our time in the game could have lasted a little longer.

Lane - Lane was amazing! Lane was a nice guy. He was able to make friends and just be that fun, social guy that everyone roots for.

Lane's biggest mistake was not being very active on the board until he was nominated and stayed online for over 7 hours to win a challenge. This showed people that he could be a potential threat. It would have been better for Lane to perform well in each challenge then perform super-extraordinary in one challenge. People were scared. I think he also made a mistake in aligning with me. People wanted me out and they saw us as a pair. So when I won veto, he was the obvious choice for a replacement.

If I could improve upon Lane's game, I would have chatted with people a little more and performed a little better in the earlier challenges. I believe initially, people didn't see him as active so they kept him around, and then he blew us out of the water in a challenge and people wanted him out.

I am more deserving than Lane to be here because I played the game hard since Day 1. I tried my hardest at every challenge and worked hard to get where I am. Lane did well, but was inconsistent in his effort.

Lane, you were a great friend through this game. I loved getting your PMs each day and I hope we can continue chatting.

Janelle - Girl, you are hysterical! We had our disagreements in the house, but you are one hardcore player. You did lots of things right. You had amazing social skills (had a strong alliance, had the power to recruit votes to win the Coup') I was very impressed. Also, you went after your targets. A lot of people in the beginning were afraid to target their true challengers and just did the safe thing, but you went after the person you wanted out. Even though that happened to be me, I respect it.

Janelle's biggest mistake in this game I think we not using the Coup the week she was HOH. I tried to talk her in to putting up Eric and Nick the week she was HOH and I had won veto. I think if she had done this, she would have lasted a lot longer. I would have kept her safe the next week, and she would have eliminated the power duo in the house, which would have made her a lot of friends.

To improve her game, I would have used the Coup and thought more about my nominations. I would have been more strategic and less personal.

I am more deserving of a final 2 spot over Janelle because my strategy worked better. I think we both had a similar game style. We were both competitors, and we obviously clashed, but my competitiveness was at a little higher level than hers.

Janelle, I am glad we talked through our differences. Talk to you soon!

Mike - Mike, despite what you think, I really do like you and enjoyed talking to you. You were the most competitive person in the game. You were amazing at challenges and came so close to winning so many and won several. I was impressed that even though you came into the game late, you played hardcore from day 1.

I don't know that you ever die anything wrong in the game. About halfway through the game, you and I discussed an alliance. I was hoping to go forth with that, except I kept hearing how close you were with Nick. I knew that you had bigger plans with Nick so I couldn't go through with our alliance like I had wanted to.

To improve his game, I would have not gotten so tight with Nick. Getting close with Nick automatically lumped you in with Eric, so it became my mission to break you up, especially since the three of you are highly competitive individuals.

I am more deserving of a spot in the final 2 because I was able to eliminate Mike before he eliminated me. We were both highly competitive players, and it was my prediction from the point at which he started, Mike would be the winner of the game. In the end, i think I beat Mike at his own game.

Mike....I hope you aren't really pissed about the game. You are a cool person. Talk to you later!

Jase - You played a great game. You were my main alliance and you were such a great partner because you would kick ass in the challenges. Jase was sure to be at every challenge, work his hardest to win, and had a clear vision of who he could trust and who he couldn't.

Jase's biggest mistake was not hiding his feelings about people. I think he was very vocal about who he didn't care for and this ultimately got him voted out twice.

If I could improve upon his game I would just tell Jase to try to avoid being too vocal about the game. Overall, Jase was a highly competitive player, and I think his final eviction was simply a matter of circumstance. He got screwed by the partner twist.

Jase, you are cool. I have enjoyed talking with you and hope we can keep chatting on AIM after this is over.

Nick - You were possibly the sneakiest player in the game. You were so quiet in the beginning. I didn't even really think of you as a threat until the final 7. This was a great strategy because it kept you and your partner, off anyone's radar in the beginning. Later in the game, you turned up the heat and were nearly impossible to evict!

I don't really think Nick did anything majorly wrong. He played hard, protected his alliances, and made lots of friends in the process.

One thing I would improve on in Nick's game would be my willingness to vote out Eric. I think Nick should have taken Eric out earlier to avoid the curse of having a partner in the late stages of the game.

I think I am more deserving because I played this game all alone for the majority of the time. I was a target, yet I avoided getting evicted week after week while you had the protection of Eric.

Nick...you are a pretty cool guy. Thanks for talking to me and having fun!

Eric - I probably talked to you more than anyone else. Eric was an under the radar player for most of the game, which in this game was an excellent strategy, as there were plenty of people who wanted to be the center of attention and get themselves caught up in drama, which kept the target off of Eric.

I think Eric played a great game. He avoided all of the drama, which means that no one wanted him nominated or evicted. He played great, got to final 3, and lost the vote. I don't think there is anything that I would necessarily improve upon. Again, he was a matter of circumstance, it was simply his time to go.

I am more deserving than Eric because I didn't have the luxury of a partner in the later stages of the game. Things I did was subtle, yet successful, as I survived to the final 2.

Eric, you are a great guy. I enjoyed talking with you about the game, about real life, and just about other stuff in general. Keep in touch!



Finale Rank each Juror 1-7 on if we were playing Big Brother in Real Life, no partner twists, Who do you think would make it the farthest and why. 1 being the winner 7 being the first boot.

1. Nick - he was highly competitive, likable, and had a clear cut strategy and was very trustworthy.

2 Mike - Mike was competitive and well liked. I just think Nick had the better strategy and alliance choices.

3. Jase - Jase would still be here today had it not been for the partner twist. I wanted to go to the end with him, and the two of us could have made it happen, but that damn diamond veto screwed us over!! (Kudos to Nick for that one....)

4. Karen - Karen had one of the most solid strategies of anyone in the game. She wanted to get to know everyone, but I think she might get paranoid if she was on the real show and this might be her downfall.

5. Janelle - she could outplay anyone here, but her mouth would get her in trouble. She doesn't take well to conflict or criticism, and I think this would catch up with her eventually, as it did here.

6. Eric - Eric was a great player. He was very quiet a lot of the time, and I had to initiate all of the contact. This might have just been with me, but it is my perception. I don't know that he would be able to come up with a strategy in real life to carry himself to the end had it not been for his partner.

7. Lane - Lane just wasn't active. In the beginning of this game, he wasn't around much at all, which I think would make him the obvious choice for first boot. I think someone could take him out without a lot of people caring early in the game, as they haven't gotten to know him.

Wow, Nick! Thanks for that LONG question! Good Luck!
