It's BADASS is what it is.
Honestly, how do you convince a room full of people that you're the best recipient for a cash prize?
My method would be to make friends with people and tell them, outloud, that it's very apparent to me that I can't possibly win the money. I would act, then, as a political figure to sway people for or against someone. At the last second, I would thwart the entire procedure by convincing each person individually that we're going to agree to vote for one person, but toss in a vote for me, instead. What I'd say is: "I've talked to everyone. We're going to tell Bob we're all voting for him, then vote for one other person in the group. I wrote it all down and you're my partner. Vote for me, and I vote for you. Bob won't have any votes, and we'll vote him out." I'd tell everyone this, then win. Muahahaha.
