First of all I'd like to take the most credit I can and say that I was the first one to approve of Lorde posting this early. That doesn't mean anything, but I thought you all should know. <3
As for questioning, I wanted to be the first to get my thoughts out since I had them ready since my eviction and tend to play a solo role in the jury.

You came into the game during Week 3 as the game's intruder. With this being the eighth week, this means you skipped an entire quarter of the game, and were awarded free jury simply for signing up, without having to work for it. In fact, one could argue that you didn't have to work a lot for the game in general. I remember being told that your position of intruder was considered due to your amazing performance as a newcomer in BB4, but that you did absolutely nothing to earn it in BB5. I'm impressed by your competitive prowess and ability to carry the torch once you stepped into the game, but I knew nothing of your social game, and suspect you never even had one, as I became fully aware you and FL had seemed to grow distrust in each other once I left, being the glue keeping you two together.
If there was a reason I would vote for you, it's because you showed incredible competitive strength in spades and brought an entire mid-late game to its knees. Something it should be more than obvious to the jury as something I admire. This brings me to my question:
What did you do in this game to actually earn your position besides simply being better in competitions than others, and why do you deserve to win when you gained an unfair advantage for a quarter of the game because of something completely unrelated to the current game at hand?

FL, you know I love you. But after BB3 the big thing I hoped for your growth as a houseguest was that you wouldn't rely on me to win your battles. Ignoring how we've interacted in games, you've been one of my favourite people to ally with because of your unending support and those surprises you give me as the game advances. I enjoy being a tank to keep my support safe, so to speak. And you've certainly surprised me at points this game, winning Avoider and breaking your trust with Hermes in order to attempt to backstab him and steer Jade's elimination in the direction you desired. The only thing is, the former played into my hands and the latter accomplished nothing big. The thing is, the reason I included you in the Anti-Alliance was that I knew you wouldn't backstab me. If the alliance fell apart, I would be face to face with Hermes, Mariano, and Celever, three big threats I knew I couldn't keep up with on my own, so I needed vote weight, where I could easily come to you. After two full games of following whoever allied with you, being me in BB3 and Quaking in BB4, I was hoping you would realize the major flaw in your playstyle and set yourself apart from the crowd. You didn't, allowing me to abuse that flaw while I was still alive.
What was the biggest play you made by yourself and does it affect the game in a large enough scale to give you my vote? Instead of laying low and following others, what did you do to separate yourself from the rest of the game and why do you deserve your finalist position?
