Episode 10

The long journey of the game has finally come down to this one night. The night when the first ever winner of Sim Big Brother: Reloaded would be revealed. The houseguests all gather in the living room with Doug and Lisa. They ask them both a question to help them decide who their final vote will go to.

Chaz: This question is for both, why did you both evict me? I want a full, honest answer.

Doug - Chaz, I evicted you because I thought you were the biggest threat at that point...I noticed that you were great on the challenges, which really impressed me because you are the youngest player...Honestly, in hindsight, I would have liked you to stay in the game longer...I would have loved to boot the non-active players first..It upsets me that some people that made it to the jury stage of the game aren't on the jury, because they just don't care..I would have definitely preferred for the jury to be made up of all active players like yourself

Lisa - Chaz, when you were nominated, I really honestly did not want to see you go. I had hoped that someone else I didn't know as well woudl be nominated, but it just didn't happen that way. You're a good friend of mine, and I thought of you as a friend then, and I still do now. I knew that when I won the POV that if I used it, then I would make myself a target in doing so, and you would probably be seen as a target after then too if you were saved. We had never talked strategy before, so while I wished there were a way to save you, and I waited for you to sign online to talk about it. But whne you never signed online, then I knew that I couldn't do it becasue we didn't have the time to discuss it. At that point, I had no real alliance, I was all on my own so it was a tough decision for me to make. When I heard from several people that the vote would be against you, and you would leave with or without my vote, I knew that there was nothing that I could do. Even if I gave you a vote, you would still be gone, and then people would look to target me next I feared. As much as I didn't want to, I felt completely forced into voting for you, Chaz, no matter how much I didn't want to see you go. That's the full and honest truth. I hope that you can understand why I had to do what I did, and I hope there are no hard feelings there.

John: For Doug, In this game, trust was the major issue, so here�s my one and only question: What was your biggest lie in the game, who did it affect and how did it help you get to where you are? And for Lisa, you say emotion ruled your game and you were honest and never lied. Then explain why during the 2nd to last HoH (where Justin was evicted) you helped me CHEAT in both numbers game to secure that week�s pivotal HOH which resulted in the expulsion of the one of the best players in the game?

Doug - John, thanks for not chewing me up...My only lie in this game was to Justin. It was assumed that you, me, and him would be the final 3..When it came time to decide between Justin and Lisa, I thought about many things...My decision came down to 2 factors...I felt that Lisa was the most dominant player on the challenges and earned a spot in the final 3, and I also thought that she would be more likely to take me to the final 2 then you would..I thought for sure you would take John, because me and you never seemed to bond on much of a personal level. I'm really sorry that you took the decision so hard.

Lisa - John, in the final three you seemed to not need me anymore as an ally, and the way that you avoided game conversation with me so suddenly hurt my feelings tremendously, and I felt so used, hurt and lied to. I felt as if you would stab me in the back if you should win the final HOH, when I trusted you to stand by your word. Everything that you said to me that final week made me realize more and more deep in my gut that I wouldn't feel good about myself if I brought you to the final two with me. You have hurt and lied to so many people in this game, that I felt it was the only right thing to do to evict you. I knew that when I evicted you that you would probably make up some sort of lie or scheme to make me look bad, because you have some sort of grudge towards me now. That is why it took me so much courage to vote you out, because I stood up for my values and what I believe is right when I did so. I didn't cheat, John, you know that and I know that. That may be how you play the game, but it's not who I am and not what I'm about. I wish that you would understand how upset you made me feel that final week, and realize that it was the way you talked to me as if I didn't matter anymore is what that led to your eviction, but if all you can do is be mean to me and lie about me, then I guess that there's nothing I can do about that except try to stay strong and not be upset by your lies directed to hurt me, because at least I know inside that I played fair and got to know people for who they are, and respected them. If this is how you want to treat me John, then there's nothing I can do about that. I can't say that it doesn't hurt to be accused of something that I didn't do, but if that's the way you like to treat people, then so be it.

Stacey: Hi. First of all congrats for making it this far. I was trying to think of a really great question to ask you but I couldn't. So I am going back to the Why should I give you my vote? question. Well good luck to both of you.

Doug - I'm not exactly sure why you should vote for me over Lisa...I feel that everyone should vote for whoever they truly feel should win the game. This was a very fun game, and I don't feel that anyone's feelings should be hurt. I know I had a lot of fun playing the game. I was at every single challenge and I did try to make an effort to get to know everyone. I just tried to be myself, and apparantly I must have done something right to get to the final 2

Lisa - Hey Stacey, and thanks so much. Well, I think that you should give me your vote, because I played this game honestly, and got to know and like everyone in this game for who they are, game aside. I really feel like I made a great new group of friends who I honestly want to stay in touch with, and that's what means the most to me out of this. At the end of the game, I pulled through with the final HOH against all the odds, when I knew for a fact that if I didn't win it then I would be voted out of the game. I used all my courage to do what I felt in my heart was the right thing to do and voted out John, even though I knew he would probably hold a grudge against me for doing so.

Lavada: Besides you 2, which other 2 players would you like to have seen in the final 2?

Doug - I definitely would have liked to see John in the final 2...He was one of the most active players and he was at every challenge and he tried to get to know me on a personal level...For the 2nd person, I think I would have liked to see Stacey in the final 2, because she seemed to be very good at the challenges also, and I seem to recall her being at all of them

Lisa - That's a hard question for me to answer, Lavada, because I really love everyone in this game so it's hard to decide on just two of you. But since I do have to choose two of you, I would have to say Stacey as one of them. She was a strong player, and even came through to win the veto to save herself under pressure when she knew her eviction would result if she didn't come through. I admire her for that a lot, because it must be difficult to win the veto to save yourself in that situation. The second player I would have liked to see in the final two would have to be you, Lavada, because you, too, proved to be a strong player and I admire you as well for that. You survived an early nomination, pulled through in a crucial HOH to win it, and managed to strategize to survive far into the game.

Justin: I just want to know, What did you do better then the person your sitting next to, to deserve my vote?

Doug - I'm not exactly sure of everything Lisa did in the game...But I do know that I had a strategy....Very early in the game, I formed an allliance of 5 people...Then, things happend, and it was just you, me, and John...I knew that Lisa was a major threat so me and John made a final 3 alliance with her...We needed to make sure that she wouldn't nominate us if she got HOH...Then when it came down to the final 3, I was placed in the difficult position of choosing between you and her. I can't say if Lisa had a strategy, but I did from the very beginning

Lisa - Well, Justin, part of what I did better than Doug was that I put all of my time and effort into winning that final HOH. I knew that I would become the last jury member if I didn't win it, and even though I was extremely nervous about what may happen, I stayed strong and true to myself and had faith that I wasn't the weak, pushover girl that people may have perceived me to be. I managed to pull it out and won the final HOH, even though I felt like the odds were against me. I played this game honestly, stayed true to myself, and made a whole bunch of great friends who I want to talk to even when this game is over with. I also protected myself when I needed to by winning crucial competitions, and that is why I believe I deserve your vote, Justin.

Staton: what do u think u overcame to make it to where ur at

Doug - I think I was very lucky...I voted for every person in this game that was evicted (except John)...I was never blindsided and I was never betrayed....I think that was because I was just being myself to people. I think that I overcame being one of the oldest players in the game...It would have been very easy for all of the younger players to form an alliance to get the older ones out..I'm very glad that didn't happen.

Lisa - Staton, that's a really good question, I'm glad that you asked that. I think I overcame a lot of insecurities that I hold within myself to get this far. I'm often very shy and quiet in real life, and don't think that I can succeed at things even though I try. I promised myself that all that I wanted in this game was to get over my shyness, and make a bunch of new friends. I really feel like I succeeded at that, and I love all of you guys. Your friendships mean a lot to me. On the game side of everything, I managed to pull through and survived when I felt like everything was going against me, while staying true to my word and myself. Winning that final HOH, that really was the biggest thing that I overcame, because, as I said before, without that I would have been voted out, and I knew that, and managed to survive under pressure.
