00:00That wasn't true at all.

00:01This girl knew I was really good with my words,

00:04and I feared if I told her I was overly prepared for this,

00:08that she would hesitate taking me to the final two.

00:10So I wanted to play it like, this is no big deal,

00:13I don't know what I'm gonna say.

00:14You know I knew exactly what I was gonna say.

00:17It was one of my last strategic moves of this game,

00:19and I'm glad I did it.

00:20I thought because of Angela and Leah,

00:22not only Angela's question to me in the jury,

00:25but me getting Leah out, really through Mackenzie's HOH,

00:30I thought that those two for sure

00:32were gonna vote for Mackenzie.

00:33So when I saw their keys pulled out with my name,

00:37I said, if I got them two, I got the rest of the house.

00:41I was very shocked.

00:43I do think that some jury members came in

00:45with preconceived notions of how they thought

00:48we played the game.

00:49But when I really laid out stats and my strategy,

00:53and I knew what I was talking about,

00:55I think it was just the nail in the coffin for them to say,

00:58hey, I may have been swaying either way,

01:00but Chelsea has presented something that's hard to beat.

01:04Downplayed it 100% for two reasons.

01:07Number one, I didn't want to overly vote

01:10next to my friend Mackenzie.

01:11I didn't wanna do that.

01:13She took me to the final two.

01:14I said, if I give them general notes of what I've done,

01:17I believe they'll get the gist.

01:19But also, I didn't want to seem like I came off too cocky,

01:23because that may also sway them to vote a certain way.

01:25So I laid out facts.

01:27I felt like I did it in a gentle way,

01:28and I didn't go as hard in the paint like I could've.

01:32And I think that ended up benefiting me at the end.

01:34I knew I didn't have to do too much.

01:37I had to be myself, because it got me this far.

01:39That's a great question.

01:42I would say,

01:45Leah.

01:46Yeah.

01:47I think I was able to really convince Leah

01:49that the trio was a bigger threat than me,

01:52and they absolutely weren't.

01:53I was planning on keeping the trio,

01:55because I knew they weren't a threat.

01:57So I just tried to deviate attention off of me,

02:00and she fell for it.

02:01And not only did she fall for it,

02:02I weakened her game so much,

02:04she went in my corner and wanted to work with me.

02:07So between Mackenzie and Leah,

02:09I had a massive amount of influence

02:11in their decision-making, for sure.
