[Natalie Cunial]

I came into the game wanting to have fun and play a good game. I definitely feel that I accomplished both, and I managed to get myself to the finals as well. One thing about me is that people may not realize how strongly I understood the game and made sure that I made the "right move, right place, right time". I didn't talk with everyone about strategy, but that's because I tried to keep things to people who were essential to my game survival. My goal was to know how to play smartly and efficiently and not overplay the game. But nonetheless I enjoyed talking with everyone I had even if it wasn't about the game. And I can't wait to catch up with everyone after this is all done!

To sum up my strategy best, I feel that I should bring a special guest to explain it at all.

Here's Natalie's first Diary Room entry!

Week 1

Before I forget:

My strategy is to be active, lay low, not be a target in terms of strategy or competitions.

I don't want to be seen as manipulative.

I can use my fierce loyalty in S2 as a sign that I can be trusted.

I don't plan on making double deals until I get a sense of who's all talking with whom. Then I may choose to play sides against each other or flip.

I'm not going to make bold moves this time. I know this game is going to be tough in terms of competitions. Therefore let the threats take each other out and hopefully I'll be there in the end.

Allstar seasons - you want to be silent and there and loyal but in the numbers. Never be a huge character.

Therefore slutiness will be gone. Drunkenness gone. I will be an eager beaver just willing to talk to people about stuff, not the game.

I know some deals and alliances are already made, but to win this time, I feel I have to lay low. That may make me a target in first few weeks, but if I can get beyond that, I think I'll do alright.

My goal is jury. But if I make jury, I'm not gonna stop there. I always play to the end. I was the only person who played the game while still in jury house last time. I don't mind doing it again.

My game was more for survival. I was playing on a week to week basis. Yes, I did have a strategy in my head but during this I was nominated seven times, including the first week. Although I only won HoH twice and on veto, I won them in times of desperate measure. They saved me, or someone who I was helping. I was constantly a target this episode whereas Natalie was known as the nice girl who got along with everyone. People did things to intentionally hurt me and so I had to fight back many times. Eventually, my plans turned out okay. Once I was even completely voted out but because of my eviction flipper 'mystery gift' I was able to stay. By a vote of 10-1 I believe. With all odds against me, I made it to the final two and believe that I had the hardest ride to come by, with the most forceful way about going about things, only to save myself. Thank you all for an amazing game.

[Julie Chen]

Thank you both. Jurors may now ask the Final 2 questions in their boards.
