Neda's Questions!

[Neda Kalantar]

First off, I will congratulate both of you for making it all the way to the end! YAY UNITED NATIONS MADE IT FINAL 2! Please….

SOFIA


Sofia, our relationship had so many ups and downs to say the least. Pretty much frenemies! I know you played a better game than Sam and I love all the risks you took in this game. My problem with voting for you to win this game is the way you handle the whole situation about me and Zach. Personally I think you took it too far with that nomination speech. You really did damage to me after that speech. I didn’t want to talk to anyone in the game anymore and I was ready to get evicted. Reading your opening, I guess that was your goal?

Now this maybe asking a lot from you but it will make it easier for me to vote for you. I would like an apology for the way you behaved and treated me during your HOH reign. You don’t want to apologize that's fine. I wouldn't want to make you do anything you wouldn't want to.

SAM



Ugh Sam! Did you listen to what I saying to you final 5? I feel like you completely ignored all the points I made on why Mike should leave over me. Did you have any interest in keeping me? I want to know your thought process on how Mike staying would have benefited you over me. I didn’t even campaign to Sofia and she knew it was the smarter choice to keep me. Everyone but you knew that I staying would have given you a better chance to win this game. Don’t say you wanted to stay loyal to Mike because that shipped sailed when you turned on me, Zach, Sofia, Sarah, and Brian.

So if you can answer your individual questions and these questions that are for the both of you!

1. What was your first impression of the jury going into this game and your impression of them now seeing how they played?

2. What was your favorite and least favorite thing about working with me? (I don’t want to see Zach’s name brought up in this question!)

3. How much shit talk am I going to find in your DR that you said about me? AHEM SOFIA!

4. Pick 5 all stars from this season and why!

[Sofia Valentine]

I think frenemies if a good label for what we were. I can see why you think I took it too far in my nomination speech. My goal was to tarnish both your reputations with the house. I wanted to make Zach look out to be playing everyone and you to be his loyal wing woman. Everything I said in my speech was game related though. I don't think I attacked you as a person outside the game or Zach for that matter. I took bits of what I knew and engorged them and made a big deal out of something small. This is a game and you isolating yourself from the house is of course something that benefited me from a game stand point. I can apologize if you felt I did damage to YOU as a person but my intent was to only hurt your game. You can take this as bullshit or believe me when I say it but I'm sorry if you felt some type of way and were affected by it more than I intended.

I don't understand the first half of your question. My first impression of the Jury going into this game? If you mean did I want to play with the Jury in mind? The answer is I didn't really think about it. I think it's clear that I didn't keep the Jury in mind when playing the game. I had poor Jury management but I played to have fun and I don't think censoring myself allows me the full experience. I was reckless but I liked being that way. Me sitting here in the end after playing such a risky game is rewarding to me and I don't think I would change that much. My impression of the Jury now is that playing the way I did might end up biting me in the ass but if it does then I understand. That sounds kind of cold but I can't take back anything I've done or said and now I have to see how it plays out. But I did everything for a reason. There are also some deserving players on the Jury who should of made it farther than they did.

My favorite thing about working with you was that when we first met we were able to agree on how we felt about some of the other houseguests. You made a comment in your eviction speech that you could only have a conversation with me by being negative. I fed off what you told me and vice versa. If I had gotten the feeling that you weren't liking what I was saying or not engaging in the shit talking yourself then I would have stopped. I didn't shit talk that much with others. The only people I shit talked with were you and Zach for the most part because we all did it a bit and we seemed to share the same opinions. I reciprocated what I thought was an appropriate conversation topic. I thought that when people were open with their opinions about others in the game that it sort of bonded them together. It's what I thought bonded you and I together because I felt you were open with me and I was open with you about who I liked and didn't like too. The one thing I didn't like about working with you was that I soon felt you were more with Zach than me and I didn't think it was smart to be close to the boys when they had control of both sides of the house.

The worst of what I said about you was said in public through nomination speeches and arguments on the board. Also our fight on AIM. In my confessional I only voiced my frustrations with you but I didn't post paragraph after paragraph about you.

The 5 All Stars I would pick from this season are me, Zach, Brittany, Sam and you. I think the UN won every competition except one. Mike's "first HOH" didn't really count I guess since he got dethroned. So excluding BOTB. We got along since the first round and lasted half the season. Even though we fell apart, we still made the season our bitch while we were together and while we were apart by winning competitions and controlling the game. The last spot could go to Brittany or Mike but I'm going to be bias and pick Brittany because if anyone had a great social game, it was her. Nobody wanted to touch her because of her friendly personality and even though she wasn't great at competitions she still managed to have a strong presence in the house.

1. What was your first impression of the jury going into this game and your impression of them now seeing how they played?

What I mean is, what was your first impression of Sarah going into the game and your impression of her now. So your first impression and now impression of each juror.

[Sofia Valentine]

Sarah was someone I didn't have many conversations with. We talked more about real life like our jobs. I don't think my opinion has changed that much of her because I don't think I had a developed one to begin with. I did see her as a bigger threat to my game over Brian and wanted her gone and I still think she was a bigger threat than Brian. Now knowing about her hatred of Brian I think we could have used that as an icebreaker? LOL Luke was kind of the same way. Closer to when he was leaving though he would tell me how he was pissed off at Zach and how Zach's nomination reasons were bullshit. I liked that he had a fire in him about Zach and him staying could have been interesting. It's why I voted to keep him over Brian. But like Sarah there was never really a change of opinion except that at the start I didn't think he could be anything of use to me but closer to the end of his game I thought he could be a potential ally.

I wish I could say I didn't like Brian all game but that's a lie. I DID like Brian for the first 2 days? LOL it's shocking as fuck I know. I started hating him when he'd take 50 days to respond to me and then abruptly leave conversations and sign off. After that it was hatred day and night up until he left because of the shit he said and how he thought he was something he wasn't. Zach was maybe the player I liked the most? At the beginning of the game he was a favorite of mine and then toward the end he became my biggest competition. I saw him winning competitions, I saw how he had both sides of the house on his good side and his strategy seemed to be foolproof. My problem was never with Zach as much as it was you so I never DISLIKED Zach but I wanted him out. For you I liked how we were able to agree on people and had a similar idea about the game. You were my second favorite behind Zach. I never thought we'd end up being the way we were. I think you said it right when you said we were frenemies at the end of it all. I disliked you a TON midway but I don't dislike you anymore because we talked out most of it. I don't know I thought our relationship was fun.. yeah I'm crazy.

Brittany I didn't care for at the beginning. To me she was just the general nice girl that was always online. I didn't talk to her that much. Now I see her as way different and she was my favorite person in the game. It's funny how most of my relationships did a 180. I think that says a lot about how I played this game. Last but not least is Mike. I didn't care for Mike at the beginning. I never talked to him that much. Midway Mike became someone I liked and wanted to use on the side. I went out of my way to keep him with Brittany's help. Toward the end he became similar to Zach and was someone I wanted out of here. I don't have any bitter feelings over Mike and I don't regret keeping him because it all worked out for me in the end. I know he was after me and I was as equally after him. There is nothing wrong with healthy competition!

[Sam Robertson]

Hey Neda. I heard you out. One of the things I always made sure to do was hear someone out. I listened to you campaign and I listened to Zach campaign. The only difference between the two is that I almost did save Zach. The reason I didn't keep you was because I was in a comfortable spot in the game and had a deal beyond the Rebellion deal which involved me, Mike, Brittany and Sofia. I was close to Mike and I felt close to Brittany past that. I knew moving past that round that Sofia would be the target after you left and I wanted her to be evicted. It wasn't on an account of me not hearing you out it was that myself and the alliance had decided you were going. I'm sorry if you don't agree but I don't think keeping you was an intelligent game decision for anyone except Sofia apparently. I didn't trust you so I wouldn't have been able to ever believe that you'd consider taking me to the end over someone like Mike or Sofia.

I liked Sarah but it seems that there is some resentment there for me not being as social. I always tried to treat everyone with respect and I thought I did with her and tried to stress that I very much liked her when we did speak. I can't help that the social strain had me lean that way to evict her or that the new alliance I was involved in were all voting her out. I was loyal to the alliances I decided to commit myself to unlike Sofia. I said I was going to vote how I said I was going to. I never had much a chat with Luke so I had no impression except that him going was good for my game. Zach wanted him gone for similar reason and that was he was in a budding relationship with Brittany and he had pull with her but also came close in challenges. Brian was a player I got along with very well at the start. Some of my longest chats were with him. I think my opinion changed of him when he reacted the way he did after Zach and I nominated him. I knew it wasn't a spot anyone wanted to be in but the way he acted was abrasive and aggressive and it was one of the reasons that played into me keeping Mike over him.

Zach I trusted a lot but I always knew he was a threat. I think it's why I was so quick to believe that he was trying to undermine me. Sofia tries to take credit for knowing about you and Zach but I always had suspicions myself. All she did was confirm them to me with some of the things she mentioned supporting why she thought so. I felt personally attacked by Zach when he made comments saying that he didn't believe I was British and mocked me. He said it was from US BB which I haven't seen all of but I thought it was a bit much. I never went out of my way to attack someone outside the game and I thought that hitting below the belt. Neda I never had an issue with you but with how things played out I felt that since we had turned on you and Zach that you'd never want to work with me and you'd be out for revenge. Brittany I liked then and now. She was a charming lass and a player I was drawn to. Mike was the one person I was up and down with all game but I would like to think we finished on a high. I respect him.

I spoke to you the least out of the UN. My least favorite thing about working with you was that you always appeared to be mobile and not very chatty and would disappear if you were talking to me or you would be invisible a lot of the time. It was hard enough for me to reach players in the game. My favorite thing about working with you was that I liked the good times we had in the UN chat. Nobody can deny that when we were at a good place that we had good chats in there and we seemed like a close knit family pissing about and enjoying the game.

I didn't talk that poorly about anyone in my DR. I only shared my views on where you stood and who you were closer to near the end. My All-Star picks would be Mike, Brittany, Zach, Sofia and you. I would be so grateful to be selected for AS and I would do what I could to improve my social game but I can see how that would affect me negatively. I do think I played well in other aspects of the game but if I were to cast general players it would be that 5 for having contrasting personalities and the potential to have an explosive season.
