Derek's Diary Room Questions

[ddawgman1]

Hey, Amanda. Here are the Diary Room Questions that I have come up with for you. There is no time limit. Just please read them and answer them within a “reasonable time.” I look forward to reading your answers.





1. You’ve been a member of the Bullet Club, a very powerful alliance that eliminated every other competitor in this game, except Jacob. But, it was during your HOH reign that the first B.C. member, Trent, was nominated and evicted? Why did you nominate Trent over other Bullet Club members? How do you feel it benefited your game?



2. Have Trent and Brad’s evictions made you concerned at all about your security in the Bullet Club? Do you have concerns that you’re the next one out? If so, do you have plans to stop it? If you feel you’re safe, what has helped you get ahead of other members in the Bullet Club?



3. As of now, what stands in your way of winning this game? Do you have any plans of overcoming these obstacles?



4. Looking back so far, do you have any regrets about your game? Anything you would have changed?



5. Have you ever considered strategizing outside of the Bullet Club or turning on the Bullet Club? If yes, what did you try to do?



6. How much do you talk with Jacob? Have you ever made any kind of strategy with him? At this stage, would making a strategy with Jacob help or hurt your game?



7. In your opinion, what has kept the Bullet Club so tight? Are people that afraid of trying to make a move that they stay? Is the friendship and loyalty so secure that people stay? Is it a combination of multiple factors? Please Explain



8. If you had your way, who would you want to sit next to in the Final Two? Does that other person know you want to go to the Final Two with them?

Alright Derek, my computer seems to be working good right now so let's give this a shot  


1. You’ve been a member of the Bullet Club, a very powerful alliance that eliminated every other competitor in this game, except Jacob. But, it was during your HOH reign that the first B.C. member, Trent, was nominated and evicted? Why did you nominate Trent over other Bullet Club members? How do you feel it benefited your game?


-When we realized a bullet club member needed to go I wanted to go with Brad. Jake made a point to me though that Brad had at least shown up for comps recently where trent hadn't, so that was ultimately my decision. I felt bad, because at the beginning of the game I had talked to Trent a decent amount, but after the brendan eviction he wasn't online hardly at all. Brad was someone I hadn't really talked to at all in the game, but since he had showed a little more effort in the game that was why I ultimately went with Trent over him. 




2. Have Trent and Brad’s evictions made you concerned at all about your security in the Bullet Club? Do you have concerns that you’re the next one out? If so, do you have plans to stop it? If you feel you’re safe, what has helped you get ahead of other members in the Bullet Club?


-I think that I am OK. Cody and I have been pretty close from the beginning and he has my back. With time Jake and I have even formed a friendship and Jake and Cody have told me they want me to go to final three with them. I 100% certain they are both planning on taking on another to final two if they win that final HOH. BUt if they can get me to final three I can do my best to win that final HOH. I just think I have a good social game and I think that is really what has helped me. It's important that I continue to do well in comps though just to be sure my fate is safe. 


3. As of now, what stands in your way of winning this game? Do you have any plans of overcoming these obstacles?




-I truly believe if I make it to final two I can and will win regardless of who I am up against. I think I can get Adam and possibly Cody's votes from bullet club. I think I could get Jacob, Issac and Taylors vote. I am not sure about crystal, but maybe. The only thing standing between me and winning is just getting to final two. And I don;t think anyone in the game is planning on taking me to final two so I have to get myself there. 


4. Looking back so far, do you have any regrets about your game? Anything you would have changed?


-Ryan is forever going to be a big regret for me. I adored him and really loved getting to know him and after everything happened he hasn't spoken to me since and it makes me very sad. I felt like him and I were forming a good friendship and I think I really let him down. I hope maybe one day he will speak to me again, but I am not feeling too hopeful about that. 




5. Have you ever considered strategizing outside of the Bullet Club or turning on the Bullet Club? If yes, what did you try to do?




-I wanted to go against bullet club at first. I wanted to work with Ryan and Taylor, but Jake had too much power, so I knew i had to go with him and I knew he would get me further in the game. Clearly I made the right decision and honestly, Jake has been nothing but great to me this whole game. 


6. How much do you talk with Jacob? Have you ever made any kind of strategy with him? At this stage, would making a strategy with Jacob help or hurt your game?




- I always tried to talk to Jacob some, but we never got very far. He came to me last week proposing I keep him and he would take me to final two. Honestly he might have been the only way I would have (hipefully not) gotten to final two, but I knew NO way I would beat him. Especially if I turned on bullet club in the process. Jacob was a nice guy and a phenomenal player, but really me going to final two with him would have been silly. I probably wouldn't have gotten even one vote to win. 


7. In your opinion, what has kept the Bullet Club so tight? Are people that afraid of trying to make a move that they stay? Is the friendship and loyalty so secure that people stay? Is it a combination of multiple factors? Please Explain



- Friendship has played a huge role. Jacob and Cody have been great to me. I've developed a bond with Carleen and Adam. Brad and Trent were mostly just numbers then anything ha, but they stayed loyal and I am guessing Jake had a lot to do with that. I've had a lot of personal battles going on this summer and Jake has been so kind to me. So has Cody/Adam/Carleen and that really means a lot. 


8. If you had your way, who would you want to sit next to in the Final Two? Does that other person know you want to go to the Final Two with them?


-Man Derek what I would give to see what everyone else's answer is to this. I think my ideal person next to me in final two is Jake. Because he is the leader and the reason I got this far and to beat him in final two would be the biggest accomplishment to me. Taking Cody and beating him wouldn't feel as good, not that Cody hasn't done just a great this Summer as Jake--he has, but Jake would be my toughest competition I believe. I'd be happy next to either of them though, honestly.
