I can start it a little later if you like.
6pm EST
That would be 8am for you and 11pm for Subomie, so it's kind of equal for both of you.

Another vote.  It'll be interesting to see how this all works out.

I'm actually surprised at how... content I feel. I'm really hoping that I can somehow pull a rabbit out of the hat and actually come through with the win, but even if I don't, I'm very happy with the game I played and I'm thankful to the alliances, and hopefully new friends, that I've made through this tournament. I know that I've honestly tried my very best to bring it home, and I've really done all I can to plead my case to the jurors that I've not only played the best game, but come the furthest from the beginning, too. I just hope it will be enough.
It was a bit of a mess at times, but you know what? We got through it all. So win or lose I'm pretty happy that I was able to make it into the finals. Having the title "Winner of Big Brother 11" would just be the golden icing on top of an already amazing cake. Perhaps I'm trying too hard now, I don't know. But what I do know is that I'm serious about this and I'm still going for gold, and I don't plan on shying away at the final hurdle.

It's good to see both finalists really want to win tbh, after all the mess.

I honestly have no clue how the votes are gonna go down, but I hope it's not a landslide, in favour of either of us. I really feel like we're both deserving of the title and it could go either way, so I'd much rather see a close 3-2 split than a 5-0 or even a 4-1. But maybe I'm just being too optimistic. 
I'd never say "I'm the clear winner" because that's just not the case. Sub played a very strong strategic game and was great in challenges, for the most part. I feel that applies to me too. The only thing I can say extra really is my will to succeed (perhaps), my adaptability/growth and my individual game play was stronger. I always made sure to put my one true alliance - ME - first. If that meant voting with Sub, Guero, Jack and the rest of the gang, then that's what I did. But there were times when I deviated from the main game plan with little short term effect in order to affect my long term game.

Last season had more jury members who were mixed in terms of gameplay. 4 out of 5 of the jury members pretty much voted the same way the whole game, so we all know what we contributed to the game.
Plus, jax. was there for the drama.

I kinda wanted to be grilled, ngl. Like, I want to fight for this. But I feel like the jurors are going to do whatever feels right for them at the end of the day, so whatever that is will be what's right. I did vote with 4/5 of the jurors as Guero said, so if they think that Sub played a better game, then so be it. I wouldn't blame them. But I think everyone in my alliance knows that I was definitely thinking about the long-term game right from the very beginning, and every decision that I made effectively helped me get to the final two.
I was also the first in our alliance to correctly identify the wolf, iirc. Lots of names had been thrown around but I was the first to make the connection that "the wolf" had put members of both alliances up for eviction, and theus was the only player that we believed wasn't in an alliance. We waited a couple rounds before evicting him, but in the end that was proven to be true.
I also had my doubts about tigerlily and Robbie and I brought them up to Pears in Round 2 and Guero and Sub later on, and I was proven right again by them both quitting, so I'd like to think that I'm a decent judge of character when it comes to who's really playing the game and who's serious about it.

Yeah, I was open to a grilling but no one had any real questions. Things are basically all out in the open this game.

♛ I've proven everyone who doubted me wrong. I was definitely one of those "How did they get in?" people when the housemates were revealed, and many applicants placed me in the "most likely to lose" category. Most people were happy to see Subomie in the game.
♛ I have shown the most growth throughout the tournament. My presence in the thread during the first round was minimal, but due to being put up for eviction because of this, I new I had to step it up and make my presence known. So that's what I did. Subomie never had this concern and hasn't grown as much from the first round.
♛ I didn't know anyone besides keshaspearsxo and I was unfamiliar with the game. He brought me into the alliance with yourself, Sub, Jack, Lily and Robbie and was evicted in Round 2. From there I knew I needed to make myself more than just a number or sure vote, and that's what I did.
♛ I have consistently performed better in challenges throughout the season than Subomie. My scores were always close to the top of the ranking and I was never in danger of eviction due to poor performance in challenges.
♛ Unlike Subomie, I haven't been up for eviction except one time in the first round, which was due to a switching spell. This is due to my strong performance in challenges and the reliability our alliance.
♛ I made an effort to talk to others outside of the alliance. I had conversations with Golden and dwuw, as well as HausofNiko and theus. I was consistently making sure I had all of my bases covered so if I ever was up for eviction again, I wouldn't be anyone's #1 target.
♛ I didn't need to backstab anyone I was close to. While a very strategic play, Subomie only brought Save The Day and FierceKunt into our alliance so that we'd have the numbers, knowing full well that they were nothing more than extra votes that would be evicted later on without so much as a second thought. I never had to betray anyone's trust in order to get where I am and I feel I played a more honourable game in that respect.
♛ I haven't stopped fighting for this, not for a second. Ever since the announcement of the final two I've been in the thread fighting for the title. But I'm not saying you should vote for be simply because I want it so badly. I'm saying you should vote for me because I played a strong game and I played an admirable game. I consistently did well in challenges, was almost never up for eviction, and I was committed and loyal to a strong alliance of people who before this game I'd never met.

Hiya!
Don't ever ****ing bring up my name in this thread ever again, especially in regards to your "judgment". I don't need it. No one asked for it.. And that goes for the rest of you, too.
Like I said, I came into this game for fun, and taking it too seriously is messy, but I definitely played the game when I played. When I realized what was really going on, I quit. Lily did the same.
Have a good day (Night? Idk what time it is by you). Don't quote me.

One of the things that I have over Sam is a larger presence throughout the game. I was a mainstay in the thread, I feel like I interacted in the house a lot more than Sam did, and I had a general relationship (good or bad) with most of the house, except maybe a few early evictees. I got involved in the house mechanics and made myself a huge threat, but pulled through regardless and I don't think Sam did the same.
I didn't need to grow, because I came into this competition fully formed and confident. I knew what kind of member I would be, I knew I would be getting into drama and people who know me knew this too. I was a threat from the start and still pulled through, I didn't need to fade into the background, I took on my opponents head-on and still came out triumphant. I've been consistent regardless and that's why I'm in the finals.
I have only been up for eviction once because of a switching spell also, the only other time I was even nominated was because of an unpredictable twist, in which case I saved myself by having the best (real) score that week. I think my landslide victory in the semi-finals proves that I'm just as capable as Sam is.
I definitely made allies outside the alliance to benefit me, but also to benefit our alliance. I was always a team player who was in every discussion and planning chat and I got involved in the house mechanics. Sam kind of drifted away from our ally voting thing, not voting the same as us and not being as active, while I was getting us the majority and helping to eradicate the opposing alliance. I took a far more active role than Sam did and clearly it worked since we utterly destroyed our enemies, and I do think I should take some of the credit for that.
I did backstab Fierce And Save The Day, because it was strategy. I like both of them very much, but I want to win the crown, not win "nicest member". STD knows this, he was trying to backstab me that round too but I just had the numbers. We all knew we had to get rid of Fierce, he was easily the top player in the game and would've sailed through the semi-final and maybe even won it all. I respect him a lot, but I didn't want that competition against me, so I went for the biggest threat. I played strategically and I'm not ashamed of that, it's the name of the game.
I was a very active player, one of the more memorable this season, and had a big house presence. I also had a great social game and killer strategy too, but with actually gaming abilities to back that up. I was a very well-rounded player in every aspect of this game and that is why I should win over Sam.

I forgot one thing.
♛ I never "forgot" to submit an eviction vote on time.
