Opening Statements

[KC]

What a road it's been. This game probably went way longer than it should have but whatever the case, we have finally made it the destination we've been awaiting. It's two years in the making and our top AllStar is about to be crowned. Can Nick become a two time winner or will URTV10 Second Chancer Jeff prove his worth?

I'm going to be allow this to be viewed by everyone. Guests, prejurors, PWs, and the usual Jurors. Do not abuse it.

Let's get started with Opening Statements. When our final two is ready, please post a little something here to dip your feet into the water. Please do not post novels. Keep them under a few paragraphs if preferable.

Sup ladies and gents'

It's been a HELL of a long road. First off I'd like to say thank you to KC, you worked your ass off and dealt with a lot of bullshit this season and we still managed to finish this game in an excellent way. Jurors and Pre-Jurors, I couldn't have been here without each and every one of you. I'm glad that I got to play All-Stars with you all..well most of you anyway

URTV7, the season that I'm repping, finished way back in October of 2010 and holy shit that was a long time ago. I had a year to decide how I was going to play URTV All-Stars 2 and I knew the second I was inducted I couldn't play the same way I did originally. Which was basically win every single competition to get to the end. Win to keep my ass safe and win to take out my threats. Since that time I've come to get to know a lot of you really well and well... I figured that instead of focusing on winning competitions, I could focus on you people. I wanted to play the best social game that I've ever played and I think I've achieved a personal best in that area. Instead of winning competitions to stay safe, I used relationships to keep myself afloat in this game which I think is proof of why I wasn't nominated until final 8. Instead of directly taking a person out, I used my knowledge about who had relationships with who to decide who my biggest threats were.

For the first few weeks I stayed out of drama and I refrained from winning competitions because that was getting people voted out pretty quickly. In order to keep my social game strategy going I knew I had to throw as many competitions as possible, no matter what. If I stayed low key then no one would target me for the first part of the game. With that in mind, I still did my best in always having a say to what happened and I worked a few things behind the scenes during the split houses that ended the games for a couple of people I was close to. After we merged I lost my closest ally, Angie, but helped create an extremely successful alliance which I publically named "Taylor Gang" lolz. We ran that alliance almost to the final 4, but as we know we had some issues lmao and split up final 6. Still I think that alliance dominated for the majority of the game. From Angie's eviction on there was a definite power struggle between Alex and Sheila that I wanted to stay in the middle of. Each week I did my best to help knock off someone they were close in order to increase my position with the two biggest threats and their allies. I got down to the jury stage using this and it definitely did increase my rankings with certain people, which was my ultimate goal.

Near the end of the game I started to get targeted, but each time I saved myself with the veto, or someone else would decide to save me. I started to win when it was necessary and with a little help from William I won myself to the end basically. Here I sit.

I'm pretty proud of how I played and the things I had to do to get here. So go ahead and ask me anything about my game and I'll give it straight up.

Goodluck again Jeff!

Whats goin on Jury?

I gotta say, it feels pretty damn good to be sitting here. I have had a very long URTV experience this past year. Since URTV9 started way back on May 28, 2010, I have been fighting for my spot within this game. So it feels pretty cool to finish it all off in the F2.

When I found out I was going to play this game, I knew one thing. I was about to play this crazy ass game with a ton of strong personalities, competition beasts, and a lot of really great friends I made in the past year. And a lot of these people had watched closely at my last two URTV attempts. So I felt I was going in with a reputation. I had been very very loyal to two small alliances the past two games, so I wanted to do the complete opposite. Maybe while giving the impression that I was still the same old Billy.

I knew I was going to have to fight mega hard to win competitions. If I didn't sit down and give it my absolute 100% best, I would not win anything. A lot of people excel in that area over me. So I needed to put myself in a situation where I didn’t really need to win competitions. Bring my social game up to a level that I haven’t really had it at. So I made an alliance with Dan, Jessica, and Natalie. This was in week 1. It obviously got me thru round 1, as Dan and Jess were HOH. When we merged into separate houses, I had to change things up. But one thing stayed the same. My alliance with Natalie. We solidified it to a final 2 alliance. And I was gonna fight for both of us to get far. Jessica was still there...but not for long as we all know. I then expanded things to Alex. We talked a lot, and kind of had an unspoken alliance. We didn’t speak of it very much, but I knew I could trust him at that point. He was my second closest ally. Then you bring in the ppl whose back I had. Nick, Casey, Jee, James. I was pretty close to all 4, but had less of an alliance and more of a got your back scenario. I felt strongly that they wouldn’t go after me for the time being. James did put me up, but I was assured quickly that everything was alright. Jordan was the target, and a back up plan was fully prepared. I also kept in good contact with some villains. Sarah, Allison and Sheila. All three were very much a got your back scenario for me.

When merge hit, I felt comfortable in a lot of different outcomes I came up with. There was only one person I strongly felt would put me up. And sure enough, Eric did. After this he was public enemy number one for me. I was very close to going home. And I will give credit where credit is due in that situation. But if it weren’t for the relationships and trust I had made with ppl, that could have very easily been a repeat of my URTV9 eviction, where I just fell through the cracks. But that didn’t happen. I shocked a lot of ppl and stuck around. After this I just placed myself in a good spot with each and every person. The next little bit were easy walks, but soon the time came where I knew I had to dump some people who had helped me get to where I was. These ppl were strong players, and had a lot of ppl on their side. So when the opportunity came around to get Allison and Alex out, I jumped on it. Me and Natalie really had a big hand in both these evictions. And we were both in the same spot with them. They were good friends and decent allies, but it was no lie that other ppl came first in their minds.

When Final 9 hit, I lost my closest ally. I tried pretty damn hard with Jee to get Eric out, but he wouldn’t really budge. But during this me and Jee solidified what we had going, to a Final 2 alliance. I trusted him a lot and he trusted me too. I also felt I was still in a place where ppl didn’t feel I needed to go. This really showed when I was able to stick around, and not even go up when Eric was HOH. The next real round, I worked hard on Casey to go after Eric. Casey really wanted Will or Nick out, but when Nick won veto, I was able to convince Casey to not put me up. I was going to go up as a sure thing pawn. But I convinced him to let a guy he had publicly been against stick around. With Eric gone, I felt super comfortable. Eric going was necessary for me to feel this way. With him gone, I knew I became a top ally for Nick. Will had talked to me about going to the F2, Jee was obviously my actual F2, and Casey and I talked about going to the F2 a few weeks before this.. When Will saved Nick and put me up, I knew it would be a good idea to get him out. So at F4, I fought harder than I did for any competition this season. The second time this game that I really sat down and said, “ok Billy, lets fucking win this”. I came up on top, and evicted Will. In the F3, both guys were taking me to the F2. Once again I knew HOH wasn’t completely necessary. However I would definitely not say that I threw it.

So here I am, sitting in the seat I have been fighting for, for one year. Feels damn good.

It has been a blast playing this game with all of you. You were all the reason I wanted so badly to be part of this game. It will be my last ORG, and no other game would have sufficed. So a big thanks to KC. Like I said earlier man, you are a fucking rockstar. Thanks so much for the last year.

I am sure you all have a ton of questions for me, and I am stoked to answer all of them.

Good luck Pizzle

Just need Natalie & Casey.

Since voting will be ending soon (hopefully), I'll take the time now to say we'll be doing another live Skype finale. Priority #1 is that both members of the final two are there and hopefully a good amount of jurors do as well. Anyone else following along is free to attend. So that in mind, what's a good day/time to do this shit?

If you're not planning on coming, don't waste people's time with a day/time. Some will wonder why I even have to post this, but I've had people I knew had no interest do this before.

[Saint Nick]

I'd be down to do it tonight but I have class and I'm guessing no one wants to be up at 12 just starting it all

otherwise tomorrow is fine if you want to get it done within the next two days

[Jeff]

I echo what TayPiz said. I have most nights free this week, but a bit later on is always rad.
