WEEK 1

“	Now connected with almost everybody, scores are almost set (yes, there's this score that I couldn't beat), but I still need to calculate carefully to invest before I lose all my money... I don't want an all-iners at first, because I'll see how does a company doing after episodes...	”
–Tata

“	Let's stop by and say hi for a while to every fellow houseguest personally at first	”
–Tata

“	All right. I got Nifty on my back and trying to get some others or accepting an approach. I'm now trying to experiment the one-on-one approach, which I hope succeed. The approach is as we see on the reality, and I'll see how successful this approach will be for my future existence.	”
–Tata

“	And this season starts, when an idea of advertising on the poll keep popping up on my mind. As a result, an ad was made... but I have no idea where to post the ad, because of course players don't have an access to the VL. But the poll is just supplementary, my game is the first priority. It's just a plus to my capital	”
–Tata

“	Yup, I guess it's not my time answering the call yet. Although I know I wanted to answer it, but I still need to keep my capital in balance	”
–Tata

“	(yes all on the same time): I'm not going to overthrow Dylan. I'll see how his reign will do, since it's the first, or who will overthrow him, so when I have my reign later on, I'll be prepared on what happened. smile emoticon Good luck Dylan on your duty, I know you can handle it well.	”
–Tata

“	Thank goodness I'm not chosen, but the game really, I feel like, it refreshes my memory with the words I never met for a long time (thanks, spelling world!). I guess, if I'm chosen for that one, I should even attach how many word per minute I did usually... ...err it's for this round. But next round? Completely no idea, because anything can still happen! Good luck to my mates who are competing, trust me, this is fun!	”
–Tata

“	Me after a lot of times trying the PoV (thank goodness I did good, but at least I learned before my English finals tomorrow)... Yup, because even I have to type the word that I never searched randomly on the dictionary. *err my list is murderous anyway*	”
–Tata

“	Phew latest attempt... because if I play I'd slay	”
–Tata

“	Talking with almost everybody gave me a perspective about the game. And now it's time to figure out the eliminated and moving forward!	”
–Tata

“	People, don't be shocked of hearing stuffs 'I'm in this plan, I'm in that plan', because I'm going to see what's the best to move forward. That's the reason I talk with a lot of people at first. To see plans. To see possibilities. To decide the best. To give and seek impressions. Because it's still the first period, mates! And also, being myself. Because I like to talk with everybody, I like to blend in, so I think I got this opportunity doing good	”
–Tata

“	Okay, I'm still keeping all options open, and when it's secured, I'll send it to you on time. I just want to make sure that everything is on board for this round.	”
–Tata

“	All right, now talking off-game with all these noms, hopefully it could give me slight of a point. But honestly this choice was sooo difficult. Oh my goodness. I need to be careful at choosing then. Err anyway it's still the first round, anything can still happen. And yes, I agree with Eva that we went dark on deciding the votes. I'm not going to just like 'rock-paper-scissors' and 'head-tail' with this, but I need a decision! Oh my goodness it's almost time in hours but aargh, whatever. I still need to vote. All right. Sorry though to either Perry or Michael, because you guys are great -- but unfortunately one of you guys have to go (rules have to go), and we (the rest of the housemates) are the decider...	”
–Tata

“	Well I've been talking off game almost all the time with my fellows so now it's time to re-assure while talking to the noms. In this situation, I ask them to state why they should stay over the other, before I finalize my thoughts. So wait a minute.	”
–Tata

“	*writes parchment* [wrong show] Michael, I'm sorry, after considering stuffs, in this last minute, I finally decided to save Perry (joining the force with some players; so I'm on the majority and I guess it's better for me at first). I know you could be pretty much loyal and stuffs, but in this critical situation -- well at least this will; a little bit; pressuring Dylan. Perry stated privately to me that he could just bring 'pressure' to Dylan because in past games Dylan always gun Perry, while in the other side Michael said Perry could potentially being sneaky, which in this part I could also agree. This is a hard vote, though...so I hope it won't change any dynamics here, except the twists allow us to do so. Thank you. *tears parchment* *move to trash* *randoms trash can*	”
–Tata

WEEK 2

“	Whatever, I've flopped 150% on golf. But Alex is right. I've the same way of thinking with him to get rid of the inactives at first... so I'm still keeping my options open at this moment.	”
–Tata

“	People, if I seem too threatening because of my social presence; don't worry – it's me being me who likes to blend in with everyone	”
–Tata

“	Honestly, I don't want to revolt Nifty because I know it'll be very stressful to do so. He himself will decide the noms, so... I wish him good luck!	”
–Tata

“	While being bored, I'm trying to figure out what to do next, based on my on-game talks with people. I mostly talk off games but from there, I can relax a little bit, then goes the seriousness. As I emphasize, having fun while being serious in all contexts.	”
–Tata

“	Fighting for PoV. But well, I admit before choosing a side I was pretty much confused so fighting!!!	”
–Tata

“	Now I have this assurance from Jordan and Alex, and that motivate me to do better And indeed I don't have a decent score... but I'll improve it	”
–Tata

“	And now I'm working hard to get my score unbeatable (so that means this is an endurance to me), and that means -- I need to get off the block right now, thank you very much. *handsign*	”
–Tata

“	All right, score has been set -- idk if someone could beat this score or not, because if so I'm trying to have a purchase; but it depends on my money all over again.	”
–Tata

“	Right now I'm fighting to get myself out of the block, and I'll make sure I'm 100% off the block. Hard work will have me off the block.	”
–Tata

“	I'll see what will the phone gives me. That's why I won't spend a bunch of money. Who knows another people will pick it up instead of me, so I'll take this a shot. I'm not kidding, so I expect a few twists coming up.	”
–Tata

WEEK 3

“	All right. My answers are locked and I wish all the best for everyone	”
–Tata

“	That was, a process, Jordan. I appreciate that. But I think I'd save Kyle because he could be a future asset for me, it's still unofficial until I said the official statement during the vote. All right, the show begins *it already began lol*	”
–Tata

“	All right. Moving forward with the thoughts, everything has become confusing. According to Michael, Kyle could be a potential drama king, which could be good or bad to the house, so there's this other aspect that I'm thinking about these past few hours. ...along with if I save Kyle, I'll lose one of the most hilarious housemate ever (Hickman, well although he's so difficult to contact, but he's cool anyway; and I believe this will take him far either here or there)... blargh whatever I'm so confused. Expect my last minute votes xDD	”
–Tata

“	Just had a discussion with Alex and I finally cleared up my mind, just need to finalize my thoughts	”
–Tata

“	Hickman, I'm so sorry, but this is the best option for now. I love the atmosphere that you bring, bringing the fun and such, but unfortunately this time isn't good for you I feel in this period, keeping Kyle is good, because he's so beneficial to move forward. He'll be there when I need. So, I'm sorry leaves room* wrongshowedition #fail xDD	”
–Tata

WEEK 4

“	Let me be that someone who don't want to start catastrophes but pleading my case is just very helpful. Thank you very much.	”
–Tata

“	I have the rest of Fearsome Four and Eva with me (yes we're having coalition with her now), so this is getting good, and turning points will be interesting. And this, marked the peak of the season, in my opinion.	”
–Tata

WEEK 5

“	Y8's Skytrip went lagging so I'm using other sites with the same game. I hope this doesn't stress me much. because lagging stresses me xDD	”
–Tata

“	Now the problem has been solved, now I need to prove to the house that I have the capacity to be the boss of the house this period. Or at least, one from Fearsome Four will be capable of being the Head of Household, since there are only 8 people remaining on the house.	”
–Tata

“	So I have this hidden strategy that the Foursome Four will not know. Since my money's soo low until I have to figure out stuffs to invest, I need to prove to everybody that becoming a boss is a hard work and it will always paid off.	”
–Tata

“	Now that Michael's possibly eliminated at this point, I believe that the Fearsome Four should be the boss again next period, to make sure that we're in full majority, and saving one of us from being nominated from the other side. Makes sense enough, that's what I've been thinking about. ...while thinking for future investments and spending. I won't spend anything except it's extremely important, rather than wasting money for nothing	”
–Tata

WEEK 6

“	Thank goodness when I was outside, I played this game a little bit on my phone. But my laptop's score still better than what I have on my phone, and another thing: I just need a little bit more to beat my all-time	”
–Tata

“	Well, a lot of overthrowing dramas over here? Come on, it's still my first reign. Just like the ordinary reigns, usually, I don't want to overthrow first. But all these dramas really deserved 24 hours of live feed xDD and everything is getting either confused or sure at this moment. Well, with all of these, thank you Alex for telling me so, Jordan needs to heighten his bid (well, as long as he's on our side, and thank goodness it's so) to make sure that we hold the power of this house. Not pretty sure about Edward though, but I'm sure, the Thirsty Three will do great here. I wonder if I can bid (not all in though) for myself to be in power... ...and just so you know, I become the Head of Household this period because of all my hard work I put into this. I'm a pretty bit luckier because it was that game I'm pretty much excel on, although I came short on beating my all-time score (it's on my phone), but I did pretty much well WITHOUT buying all the advantages. Lucky me, because I'm being economical at all these points. So now, I'll just finalize my thoughts of nominations, and perhaps Jordan might do the same. Good luck, overthrowers... I know it will be hard but, it's just so fast. One more key: Money can buy power, but money can't buy happiness. Money sometimes can't beat all the hard works, but it will be beneficial in the future. So use it wisely	”
–Tata

“	All right. Folks, I told you, I'm capable to be the Head of Household, and I just did my best in this game. Perhaps I could be the Loveita of the game, but who knows, this can bring me far. I hope I don't make a false decision over there, but I don't really need to worry much because there's that PoV that will finally decide everything	”
–Tata

“	Okay folks, no hard feelings after all. This is a game, but at least we learn something from this xDD	”
–Tata

“	Alex and Jordan are both up for eviction. Urgh. I guess now it's time to gain coalition	”
–Tata

“	I know it's hard for me to say this, but so far I'm pretty close to Alex and I know this could be the better move to move forward. I know I trust Alex 100% and so do him, and I hope one of us wins. So sad to see you go but (don't worry, I'll do anything to keep the rest of us safe)	”
–Tata

WEEK 7

“	All right, I didn't expect making it to the Final 6, and since some stuffs are getting expensive, I need to plan my purchases smartly, and also considering it could be twisty afterwards. My money isn't too much though at this point, but I feel it's enough.	”
–Tata

“	This is a perfect combination. Jordan proposed to all of us that Nifty should be eliminated and the rest could be the pawn and he offered himself, but suddenly the HoH results turned otherwise, which is... Jordan as the HoH. This is a pretty much good combination I see here, because I know the rest of us could be the pawn, and when it comes... ...boom, here we go xDD I just hope for a good decision here, and one more thing: this secret combination sounds perfect xDD (well, because we never know what will happen next)	”
–Tata

“	Wow prices are lower, however I still need to be wise or otherwise I'm doomed. And, it's payback time folks! 5 against 1, hopefully I can save myself once again	”
–Tata

“	Whatever, I did my best. I just don't want to waste my money on the wrong thing. Money can't buy success, sometimes. Hard work does. xDD #lifelesson	”
–Tata

“	These days, before all the important announcements, I felt like the house is not as crowded as it used to be. Maybe because of the intense situation and all the stuffs. But don't worry, I'll wreck it up a little bit, in a non-dramatic way.	”
–Tata

“	Yup. A last minute trial and tons better, so why not? xDD Just hope Nifty is not winning the PoV	”
–Tata

“	And I thought this is the worst case scenario. Nifty won the PoV and Hunter stole that cash from me. Err, at least I'm not going to be a millionaire yet, but I guess it's still enough for my future, non-expensive, purchases; which is what I'm avoiding right now. Except if it's really necessary. So right now, I've been thinking of a scenario, perhaps I have the same vision with Jordan. Who knows?	”
–Tata

“	And that's it. We got the scenario, and now we need an immediate execution. But wait until Jordan thinks it's final xDD It seems like we're Jared and Kelsey (BB CAN 4), a little bit of the season these past few rounds (not pretty much though), but when it comes to wrecking, I don't want to wreck a havoc like Shay Chai from the newest BB IL. The move that I'm going to make here is simple: I just want to make sure I'm sending the message to the right person, either sending the scores to Marish, or talking with people what will happen next and so on, because once I delivered in a wrong address, I'll be 100% doomed, except I can recover it in a good way possible. At least. My target won't be as much because in this point I'm going to be like "Whatever, I have no idea" (but seriously I have no idea of everything except submitting scores and voting/getting votes, saved/getting saved, because I left everything on game's hands, and I'm just a player...) ...and sometimes, this no idea mentality can bring success in this game. Who knows? But I'll let anything happen xDD (but not too dramatic stuffs)	”
–Tata

“	So the scenario is set up and I'll see what'll happen. Honestly I got a bad feeling over here, but I'll see if some stuffs bring any good to the game	”
–Tata

JURY SPEECH

“	To Marish as the administrator of the eighth season of Secret Story: Power Shift To Nifty and Hunter as the two Finalists of the eighth season To my fellow juries And the rest of the casts and viewers Good day, everyone! How are you guys? First of all, I would like to thank Marish for this awesome season. The concept had been interesting me so far, and it brought me here. Although my game is not too good, but at least, it was a wonderful experience. Also I would like to thank my fellow houseguests, because without you guys, this season wouldn’t be as wonderful as what I thought. Then, I would like to congratulate both Nifty and Hunter as the Finalists of this season. You guys played a great game, strategically, socially, physically, and economically, thanks to this season’s twists; outwitting, outplaying, and outlasting the rest of us. You did a very well done job ending it tonight. As we know, one of you guys will win the season. But there are some things that I’m unsure, and those things are: 1. I would like to know what aspect does make you more deserving to win over the other. 2. I would like to know what are the best and worst moments of your game, and you can give me a reason for that. Besides, I also wonder what did you do during those moments to rack up your game. 3. Last but not the least, I would like to know how the dynamics impact your games, as a response to the second part. Besides all of that, I know you guys are a great player and friend, and I would like to thank you all for the experience, friendships we made, and may the great moments will be cherished in our memories, and also, may the best houseguest will win the competition. After all, I would like to say, good day everyone!	”
