Hi!
Verissa here! Third place winner of last year. I just wanted to shine some positivity to everyone because we are all wanting the same goal. Any all stars from last year, we all had the same goal and risks as everyone else who played. And it’s the same policy for this year. We are not cheaters and far from it. We all risked a lot as well as others. At the end, this is supposed to be fun and welcoming. Not this negative energy. We are all here to play to win and unfortunately, not everyone will win. Just be happy that you made it and be happy for those who may have made it further than you as well because again we all are fighting for one spot, which comes with challenges but you have to think strategically and be positive. Me winning third place last year took a lot of work and effort. I worked hard to be there with staying up all night to play and spending more than I should creating a heavy debt for my household, that is a risk that I took. And it’s the same for those who are still in it. This is not easy work, and not everyone is equipped for this type of environment. I am currently sitting in the mist of those who are trying to win. I get frustrated when I have to spend more money than I would like or when I have to stay up all night to hold my place but I know that comes with this game. I know the risks. I know the challenges, I know there’s a chance that I could lose. I know there’s a chance that I may place to be in the live final and even if I don’t make it, I will be proud of myself and for those who did make it because I understand the challenges they had to face and to best millions of players, how could you not be happy for someone? I would be more proud of them then myself. Im grateful for just being apart of this competition. We are ALL taking a chance and to be negative because you didn’t make it, doesn’t make the game fun or enjoyable. Anybody in this competition has an equal opportunity and chance to win, just depends on how YOU choose to strategize. Please let’s stop with the negative and just be positive and if you didn’t make it this year, there is always next year to do your best and I wish everyone a happy playing.
