2 Moves/Game Play I am proud of:

1. Alex in Redux Amazon. I think I played a perfect social game. I made Jenna believe I was her number 1 all game and told her everything. I made Ryan believe I was his number 1 all game (although I think he was leary of Jenna much moreso than Jenna was learly of Ryan until it was basically too late). I told him everything. To Jenna, basically, I had Ryan. She had Christy. But when it got to end game, Rob was still around. He too had latched onto Christy. But Christy wasn't that threatening. Jenna was. I went all out to get my "closest" alley in Jenna booted. But she never lost immunity until F3. So as a back-up Christy needed to go because those 3 could take me or Ryan out if they chose. So I went on a no-holds bar campaign to get Rob to switch and take out his closest alley by proving Christy was really Jenna's #1. I forwarded Jenna PM's that were incriminating. Like Jenna throwing a challenge and/or sending an image to Christy so she could win immunity one round (can't remember the details). I know Ryan was also working Rob. And in the end it was the best blindside of the game. Rob sided with me and Ryan to boot his best alley. Jenna WAS FLOORED and I could not stop smiling.



2. Bunky couping Michelle and April. Ultimately April won, so that IS a drawback. But still it WAS the right move and it changed the game like no other. The game was played in partners. Get to F6 with your partner, you get a free pass and can't be nom'd that round. Also partners can't nom each other and have to save each other with veto. The goddess Martrae was my partner. She was in no alliances. (Everybody else's loss.) And I knew I was going to have a hell of a time keeping her around til F6. Why? There was a controlling 8-person alliance, the Octopussies, and we were going to run this game. Ummmmmmm, no we were not. As soon as I heard there was a coup, I made it my goal to win it. Laugh all you won't. I suck at challenges. But not MENTAL ones. I won it and it was a whole new ballgame. When Michelle got nom'd I was out of town. There was a weekend before eviction. I come home and realize I have to use the coup. The old Octopussies were getting ready to go down and it would be because of me.

I told Hardy. He was actually my closest Friend. Michelle was the quiet type and I loved her but Hardy was more fun. I told him Michelle is coming off and one of the Octopussies were going up. Namely his partner since I had no relationship with Rachel. I wanted an Octopussy out. I wanted April spared because
early on, me and Hardy tied for an immunity win. There was a vote of the players. Whoever got most votes wins immunity. All of the Octopussies voted hardy. All the misfits voted me. I knew right then and there, I was NOT sticking to the octopussies. I wanted some misfits left in the game. I couldn't insure getting what I wanted. Michael wanted to 'work with me" but needed April in. SF429 was very honest and told me April would NOT stay. So i took her off as well and put up two social power players in SFGP and Chapera Rocks. Ultimately CR left and one by one all the octopussies left. I had a deal with Hardy/Rachel and Michael/April. And with Hardy and April fighting they went for each other and left Me/Michelle alone. When Michelle won she had to protect me because of game rules.

Despite all odds a partnership made F3. But Ace is a great challenge perform and won clutch victories. He picked Michelle because she was seen as the weaker opponent.

Still using the coup, IMHO, is one of the best game-changing moves made in the history of Jun's House.

If Brett would have fallen for my fake HII him playing it would have been the greatest move ever.

Oh don't even... :lol:

Probably aligning myself with 3 key alliances while I was being the 3rd wheel in those 3 but it's pretty lame so yeah... I still don't have any particular move that stands out the most.

LMAO!

Pig Bomb will never die. I never will forget being sooooooo happy to make it to the jury phase, because I've never been hated by a cast so much in my entire ORG history. There were entire threads devoted to sharing how horrible I was.

I guess because it wasn't jury phase yet, I didn't feel the need to be nice to anyone; that was my justification. Oh me being a general noob to ORGs back then... :wub:

Oh Pigbomb hate is what kept me comiong back to my first ORG's LL. ^_^

I wasn't sure if Will was talking about choosing between Team Green and Boo's Angels :lol:

*ahem* It's possible with Boo's Angels one of them doesn't swap stars with Birdo so Birdo continues her challenge dominatin' to the F2. How's that for ya Birdo? ^_^ alol jk :wub:

Given the chance, I don't think even think my most LOYAL allies would have kept me.

Letting Jennifer be far too eloquent in her plea to Kelly be in the F2 while I played semi-mute (but not Michelle mute!) mouse at F3 in V3. It was a nice contrast and I think if Kelly was wavering at all it sealed the deal in my favor.

Nah I don't think I could have voted you out... it would have just been way too low.

Actually I was trying to throw the challenge without looking like I was throwing it. So I did it really slow and posted it after I saw you had posted already.... except your answer was incorrect and mine was correct. Fuck! :lbf

Well I actually TRIED being nice to you and Sally and Ozzy. You three were probably my favorites not counting Alexis/Fairplay of course. I generally got along with everyone post-merge. I ruled with an iron-fist premerge though... maybe that's why they all hated me. :unsure:

Pig Bomb was my first bff ally ever. :wub: Such a strategic force pre-merge. *fans self*

And then he all but evaporated post-merge. :angry: :( -_-

I guess what comes to mind most was the night in Colo 7 when the round had just ended, we'd taken out one of the duds (I don't remember who) and I decided to just sit there online for about 2 hours, not initiating a single PM. And I received zero in that whole time, which let me know I was not at the top of people's priority list to strategize with and then started piecing together the double-dealing the Axis of Evil (Token, Bottle, and Peeps) were up to. So I admitted to Dummy, ShamWow, and Back Massager that I had been approached with a final 3 deal from Peeps/Bottle and we began to play them :)

Also, pushing for Token to go pre-jury was a huge move for me since he didn't like me and it was obvious he had the idol.

As stupid as it sounds, Paula was probably my most strategically apt person. I threw everything until late and then managed to push Johnny enough that he'd boot Joan at 5, and then was smart enough to see the JJ alliance and break it up. I actually positioned myself to get brought to the F2 quite well that game, FML/Johnny just got paranoid. -_-

Didn't you get the memo that FML wants to be Susan Lucci?

Okay, a few come to mind:

  • Pulling together the Outcast alliance in Tanzania - This was a move that really shaped the post-merge portion of the game. Had Rocky not been a challenge whore, this group probably would have taken it all the way, and considering it comprised mainly of the people who had 0 power going into the merge, that was pretty impressive.

  • Giving Ryan S Immunity in PI Redux - I put my ass on the line in order to knock out a major goat who was definitely going to flip on me and Lill at the Final 5. Unfortunately, Ryan ended up doing the same thing, but that was thanks to complications that arose out of Christa totally fooling Lill. :lbf

  • Convincing Ando to decrease the size of our Battleship map - Not too many people will be familiar with this one, and honestly, a few people thought it was underhanded and mean, but hey, that's ORGs for you. The F3 of Double Trouble was decided entirely by challenges, and the tiebreaker challenge was a series of Battleship face-offs played between the three of us. I lost the first one against Ando, and he won his face-off with Addison. So it was my turn to play Ando, and if I lost to him, I'd be out. I had to win in order to stay in the game. Fortunately, the first two rounds had taken sooooo long that everyone was getting pretty tired of the slow-paced Battleship shit. So I told Ando we should make an agreement to cut the size of the board in half and only place our ships on one half, so we would only be guessing half as much. Since it was just an agreement between players and didn't really involve the hosts, I was able to put one my ships on the unused half of the board, ensuring my victory (since even if I didn't find Ando's ship until the very end, I'd get it before he ever got to my last one). I'm pretty sure I would have won anyway, but still, I thought it was a clever move that got me through the challenge unscathed.

  • Taking out Sarah in RW vs RR - She was my biggest threat, and once I eliminated her, I was able to control the rest of the game. Although booting Svetlana and positioning myself so well in the Final 3 also contributed to my success.

  • Turning on Angel Dust in Genosha - This was the move that got me all the way to the Final 3.

  • Agreeing to work with the Heroes - Benjamin "Coach" Wade was one challenge away from victory, and the only reason that was the case is that he decided to start making big moves at the F7.

  • Blacking out CT - This is one of the main reasons a woman won Famewhore Academy.

ETA: Forgot one - allying with Shane at the merge in Aruba. If it wasn't for the surprise Idol taking him out at F10 anyway, that move would have prevented the coup that later happened.

OK! Mmmmmhmmmmm!
[ *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * ]
Hmm... I dunno.. It's much easier for me to remember my mistakes than my "great plays."

I guess I will always be proud of the final 11 round of Famewhore Academy 2. I (Leilene) was the target that round and I got the other side to admit to me that they were gonna boot the old Clovers pagong-style starting with me first. So I begged and pleaded enough with a few of them to get the target off of me. They decided to pretend like I'd still be getting the boot and blindside my girl Raquel instead, but I found out about that, too. Of course I didn't want that to happen so I informed MEGABITCH Joan Rivers about the impending pagonging and she immediately flipped sides. Then I rallied 5 of the other 11 competitors (combined with myself and Joan to make 7), and Joan being the challengewhore that she is won the challenge and blackspotted Omarosa, Elisabeth, and Dr. Will. I pushed for Liz to get booted but you can't always get what you want and Omarosa got booted instead.


I was booted the very next round in a tie vote but it was SO worth it. :wub:
