PRE-GAME ALLIANCE? REALLY. The only time I really used that was when Dixie won F3 HOH she was going to evict me (which she probably wouldn't have if she didn't know who I was, since she wouldn't have been so upset by me lying to her). It was in her best interest to keep me anyway IMO, because of this but STILL. Let's remember who exposed themselves to reveal this: DIXIE told ME who SHE was. I didn't force it out of her and I didn't actually thinks he was Dixie when I was confronting her, but it was funny as hell. But I didn't ask for her to reveal herself to me. Lord. LORDDDD.
I feel bad since I told Andrew who Dixie was so he was aware of what we were working with, but I honestly didn't know it was a huge deal but it looks like it was. I feel bad but if this shit costs me the win I'm gonna be so upset. I actually worked to establish the relationships I did in this game, I didn't have them handed to me on a silver platter via pre-game relationships, that accusation is such horse shit and if people believe it and I lose because of it, I'll be devastated.
Ughhh I'm gonna fucking lose because of this. I wish Dixie just took Andrew now I don't even wanna deal with it.

Regarding Talla's AS questions, I honestly believe AS should be: myself, Andrew, Ryan, Liza and either Dixie or AJ... I don't even think she deserves it, but I feel I've already lost Liza's vote so I'm not gonna include her, so I can make room for me/Andrew/Ryan/Talla/AJ or something, idk.
And to both of y'all, if you could choose any 5 people from this game to be in ALl-Stars (including yourselves) which five people would it be, and why did you choose them?
Love you both, and I hope we can stay in touch... I'd like to see where your lives take y'all!
Hi Talla! I'd love to keep in touch after the game, I'll add whomever on Facebook; I like keeping a network of people I've played with, it's very interesting to see how different everyone is that you've played with!
This question was very difficult, because I feel like more than 5 people could be more than deserving to earn an All-Stars spot. It could potentially also come down to who wins the game, between Dixie and I - who knows? However, if I were selecting any 5 to be All-Stars from this game, I'd select the following:
Andrew, first and foremost. He was probably in the best position from day one. He made strong ties and social connections with so many players that he had to backstab almost everyone. Furthermore, I find it extremely impressive that he was able to make it to the final 3 despite nominating literally everyone in the game at some point, EXCEPT myself, Krystal, and Alec. That's just crazy!
I'd select myself next, because I feel I've played a very impressive and well-rounded game as well. I bonded with all of the right people at the right times which brought me to the point where I made my move in the game and turned the game upside down at the final 6.
Third, I'd select Ryan. He always had his back up against the wall and was nominated but either A) found the votes to save himself [sending Suzette and Greg home] or B) won the Power of Veto [sending Krystal to the Jury house]. He was a strong force to be reckoned with and he had a bunch of ties as well, hence him surviving sure-fire eviction a couple times.
This is where it gets tricky, I feel like AJ, you, Dixie, and even Liza deserve All-Stars in your own right, but as of right now, I'd select you and Dixie, and here's why.
I'd choose you for the All-Stars cast because I feel as though you were very dynamic in the sense that you kept things interesting, especially toward the end of the game. You were a very devoted player and you loved the game, and we can all see that. You're very entertaining and your fights with AJ kept the game exciting, which would open the door to cast AJ for All-Stars as well (he was constantly nominated, targeted, and involved in drama yet survived till the F4) however your showing in the Finale has put you in the spotlight with your videos and I love it, while AJ still hasn't posted anything for the Finale (which I am anticipating greatly!)
Final, I'll give the final spot to Dixie, since she was constantly underestimated and she played a very good UTR game, yet she was still a strong competition beast and everyone overlooked that at exactly the right times. She was ultimately responsible for the downfall of Andrew, and breaking up Andrelle, which was a great feat deserving of All-Stars.
I hope this answers your question; it's just very difficult since I feel more than 5 deserve it, and if only 5 get it... it's hard to say and I don't envy the Hosts one bit for having to make that decision.

Hey guys, let's wrap this up! I'll try to make this quick and to the point.
I feel I deserve the title Winner of Big Brother: Rise & Fall 3. I played from day 1 to get in good with everyone I could, so that later down the line, people would constantly came to me trying to pull off their plans, and I became a central point in many "groups" that formed (AJ/Andrew/Liza/Estelle, AJ/Andrew/Talla/Estelle, Andrew/Ryan/Estelle, etc.) Toward the end, I had to make moves for myself, which resulted in the eliminations of Rory, Krystal, Ryan, and Talla. Why? Because I had end-game deals individually with each of AJ, Andrew, and Dixie. Come the final 4, I was covered from every angle, which is exemplified by Dixie using the POV on me at the Final 4, wanting to ensure my spot in the Final 3 with her.
By no means was I only a social player, since I pulled off strategic plans to get here as well. I came up with the plan to separate Rory and Talla, and I used the POV on Dixie at the final 6 against Andrew's wishes, in order to get out one of my targets. Come the final 5, I strategically nominated my #1 ally, Andrew, in order to leave the impression in AJ's and Dixie's minds that I wanted to be with them at the end, and it paid off since they evicted Talla, even though Andrew was my top ally. Due to me nominating Andrew the week prior, at the final 4, I was able to promise Dixie that I'd evict Andrew over AJ, even though I went with what I felt was best with me instead. Ultimately, I was a social player, but I used my social prowess to my strategic advantage to give me leverage to pull off these strategies I came up with.
Finally, guys -- I was a strong competitor in this game, as well. I may have only won 1 HOH in this game, but I won a total of 4 vetoes including the one I won with Liza. Through each of my wins, I was able to do something powerful in the game. The duo round, Liza and I were able to ensure AJ/Andrew's nominations, which kept Ryan in the game like I wanted (even if my alliance didn't). When I won my second POV, I used this leverage to break up Rory and Talla. With my third Veto win, I was able to save Dixie in order to backdoor one of Ryan/Talla (wound up being Ryan). Finally, with my final Veto win, I was able to ensure my own Andrew/Talla nominations, which left the impression that I wasn't that close to Andrew, yet it sealed Talla's fate at the same time.
Ultimately, I feel I played a great well-rounded game using my social skills to plan out my strategic game, and I had the competition wins to set everything into motion. I feel my game flowed really well, and I hope you agree. Thank you for your time and I wish you all the best of luck in your decisions!
Stella out.~
(PS. I loved when you guys called me Stella in this game haha - I noticed Talla say it a lot, and I loved it, girl!)

I'm 99% sure Liza/Talla are voting for Dixie.
I think I have Andrew and AJ. I feel like I will get Ryan's, but I'm not 100% sure. It comes down to Krystal and Rory. I think Krystal will vote for Dixie. Her whole speech was dedicated to Dixie, and I feel like she just wants to scare her and will still wind up voting for her to win.
If that's the case, Rory will cast the swing vote. Oh dear lord, I'm going to shit myself. #PardonMe

Alright, well this is it. It's been a great journey and I can't believe it's actually coming to an end. Coming in from day one I never really expected to make it this far into the game since I felt like I wasn't playing to the best of my ability, but I really do feel like I came to shine and I hope I made you guys proud. It was definitely fun and I'm so excited yet nervous for the finale lol. If Dixie wins, I guess she'll have deserved it - I just hope people didn't vote for her to "troll." I honestly don't know what more I could have done to convince people to vote for me, but I tried my best and I hope it pays off. If I do lose, I guess I can blame my power hungry streak toward the end, and my unwillingness to backstab Andrew. I just wanted to play a clean game and I looked for reasons to target people (ie. Ryan evicting me; Talla nominating me, Rory/Talla being together... etc.) Regardless, I have little regrets and it was an amazing game. <3 So glad I made Estelle happen.~~
As I said, I guess I was a bit too loyal to Andrew to an extent, but that's just the type of person and player I am, and I don't regret it one bit, even if it's what comes back to bite me in the ass. I respect him as a friend and as a player and if I lose, I'll feel horrible and I'll feel like I let him down since Dixie was likely going to take him until I talked to her... (so lol @ her getting credited for taking Andrew out, when it was really my convincing) anyway, if it gets her the win, YOU'RE WELCOME.~ lolol jk, but seriously thanks for taking me to Dixie. I know I played really shady and cutthroat toward the end but I guess I got greedy and excited to be at the end with Andrew, whether I'd win or lose I thought an Andrelle final 2 would have been the most exciting, but you definitely have given it a great go at it.
Kat and Shir, thanks for hosting a wonderful game, and I can't wait to see what the future has in store for your series, and I'll definitely be around for RnF 4. :]
Finally, sorry to everyone and anyone I may have hurt along the way. It kinda goes back to what I said about being loyal to Andrew - that was my priority in this game and I wasn't sure I could beat him but I felt comfortable enough taking the risk. AJ, Talla, Ryan... sorry for how you guys wanted out, I guess I just got power hungry to make moves, and if it got me the win then it did. If not, I tried - and I'm sorry it was at your guy's expense - I just had to make moves to try to combat Andrew's powerhouse of a gameplay.
Liza, I don't know why you were so delusional in the Finale since I literally had no pre-games whatsoever, but whatever. I was NOT happy with your backdoor or yours and AJ's nominations to begin with, I only supported Andrew because he was my #1 ally, and I definitely/always wanted to be at the end with you guys and Andrew until Andrew made that move. I'm sorry you guys fell for it, but it wasn't ever my intention, like I said.
Krystal and Rory, thanks for your positive attitudes, I love you guys in this game and you were both fun to talk to and play with. It was nice to see you from the other side, Rory since I only got watch you play once and I wish we were closer this game, but I'm glad we got the chance. Krystal you're always fun and I love playing with you too. You're a sweetheart. <3
Suzette, girl you were a threat but finding out who you were it is no shock - you're a helluva player when you play forreals and I wish we got the chance to work closer together, but girl I know how close you were to Andrew and ain't nobody come between me and my F2 partner hahah jk, you were awesome!
Brigitte, my first close friend of this game You were so robbed and I was so sad when you left but it opened my doors to work with people I otherwise may not have worked with so it was a blessing in disguise. I'm so sorry you left though. Love ya girl <3
Greg, Alec, and Aneal - sorry y'all had to go. I wish I got to know y'all better, but thanks for the ride!!
Thanks again Kat/Shir. Thank to the PW's who all helped out, it was a great game, and you guys all rock. :]
I am glad Liza won Veto and I hope she doesn't use it so I can see Suzette go. I wouldn't mind losing Krystal (lol, hey Kim!) since we don't talk. I do love Kim though so that option is always open in the future if I need it, which I may. So maybe it is in my best interest to keep Krystal around for a bit.
Suzette to go!
Bitch, you knew!
ps. how did you know? btw since you knew, you could've totally owed me for starz you whore.
