Round #6 - Adapting

[zach]

First thing I do once I see Becky gone, talking to Shelli and Natalie about shoring up both sides and targeting people in the middle. Im not going to let myself be too slow I am going to adapt on the fly cuz that's the only thing you can do in a BB game. It's eat or be eaten and I have no intention on being someone's 5 course meal. 

[zach]

Pretty sure I just made an alliance with Shelli Porsche Kelsey Natalie and I wtf. This is going well so of course that means Jackie is going to win HoH and nom me.

[zach]

Also I wanted to put my ~real~ majority rules answers here. Now I know there is a separate option in the challenge rules to put what I think and then what I think others will think, but statistically you're more likely to get a question right if you added in a vote for it. Too bad I suck at majority rules and won't win this comp

But yeah lets have a look at the Qs

[1] Which houseguest is under the radar?

Corey, no question about it. He admitted to it in the eviction thread.

[2] Which houseguest is the funniest?

Arlie, I just don't rly talk to Ika and when I do find her more crazy than funny and Arlie at least makes me laugh when we talk usually.

[3] Which houseguest is the nicest?

Natalie, she's too pure for how everyone has been treating her so far with being close to nomming her or wanting her out. One of the nicest people in orgs.

[4] Which houseguest is the biggest threat?

Zach, cuz I mean c'mon isn't that obvious

[5] Which houseguest has the best gameplay?

Porsche, in a similarly good position as Shelli but not as visible.

[6] Which houseguest will win BB: Rise & Fall AS3?

Zach, cuz if I don't think I can win then I won't TBH. I've recovered from worse positions.

[7] Which houseguest would you trust with your [game] life?

Natalie, even tho game wise I feel closer to Porsche and Shelli still I am more confident in Natalie sharing my own game views for stuff and I don't expect her to vote for me even if she can distance herself. Shelli is up here too tho given how much we've talked game wise last day or so.

[8] Which houseguest thinks they're in control?

Shelli, because I mean she is. Who is going to target her right now and she just aligned with the other side after going against them in an HoH while still having favor with the supposed middle.

[9] Which houseguest is the most annoying?

Jackie cuz she doesn't talk to me and when she does it's not very fun tbqh. It's annoying that we don't talk and that I can't enjoy it the few times we do lol.

[10] Which houseguest should be the most worried this week?

Zach, duh. I guess Natalie too but I think I'm more visible than she is and we are still reaping what we sowed with the alliance thing.

[11] Which houseguest are you most surprised that has made it this far?

Corey, I thought he'd be removed for inactivity (jk). Surprising tho the inactivity thus far hasn't hurt him like, at all.

[12] Which houseguest doesn't deserve to be here?

Corey given his replacement cast member status and not being super around.

[13] Which houseguest is most likely to vote out their closest ally?

Jun, considering she literally just did it. Also Kelsey I guess cuz she's cutthroat af but I'm not putting her for stuff like this the round we make an alliance and give her reasons to be sketched at me.

[14] Which houseguest is the fakest?

Jun given she's been playing everyone still about being close with them despite everything that happened.

[15] Which houseguest is most likely to be dragged to the end of the game?

Corey, given he's essentially Porsche-Shelli-Kelsey's goat.

[zach]

We made the alliance last night and Shelli said that to make it fair Natalie and I can bring on a 3rd person because they were going to have Shelli, Porsche, and Kelsey, but Natalie and I didn't know who to include. Natalie initially wanted to include Cody but I did not forget about what Shelli said about how he tried to get Becky and I nommed so I just said that I didn't really trust him without explaining it lol, which Natalie appeared to shrug off and say it was fair. Arlie was another option but dunno how he feels about Kelsey and Shelli now plus idk if we can trust him to stay quiet. Other than that, can't say we really even remotely trusted anyone else so I said that I was ok with going into the alliance as a minority. Not like it's an F5 alliance; so I'm not worried about having a minority. Even if it was tbh in BB it's different because one of Natalie and I could win HoH and then one of us just needs to win Veto and we choose who goes.

But yeah, bottom line I've shored up any issues with the other side and finally have gotten Kelsey off my back. Now I just need to figure out how to recover with the not-middle.

JunSong - Today at 4:35 PM
did u get the button prize by any chance? cuz i didnt lol

I 1 million percent forgot to make a button thread OOPS!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably bad! Not telling anyone that tho lmao

[zach]

Also I was kidding about Jackie winning Hoh please don't let it happen lol

I feel like I'm her white whale now and given I've been the hunter many times before ik this HoH is not gonna go well if she wins it.

[zach]

Fml Fml Fml


If my life was effed any harder the tape of it would make me more famous than the Kardashians.

[zach]

14th would sure be a new look on me

But also I'm not remotely giving up of course I've only just gotten started. I messaged Jun about trying to get a good word in with Jackie and when thst doesn't work I'm hoping I can have her nom Howard next to me for being someone who voted agsinst her during my Hoh. I think I can stay over him with my newfound alliance and some other stray bonds but idek. I need to talk to her tomorrow and hope for the best and somehow do as little bus throwing as possible.

[zach]

I was thinking about best and worst case scenarios nom wise and I think as long as I'm not next to one of Shelli Porsche or Natalie this is very surivalable. If Jackie chickens out and chooses not to make me her direct target she may put someone next to me that I'd have a chance with instead of nomming people who are close to me (Natalie) in an effort to get me out.

Corey voted against Jackie during my Hoh so there is a small chance he goes up but apparently she's friends with him from FE or whatever so dunno if that'd pan out.

Howard also voted for her and despite not wanting to throw him under the bus, him being nominated next to me could make sense for Jackie given he voted for her and also won the majority rules for most likely to win. If howard is next to me I think I have a chance at surviving if I could get Arlie and Erika to vote with Natalie Kelsey and Shelli and HOPEFULLY Corey but thst one I'm not super certain about.

Cody is another possibility thst just came to kind after Jackie just asked me if I suggested to nominate her to him. He is feigning having interest in me (game wise ofc relax guys) and throwing me utb to a HoH 2 weeks in a row if he told Jackie that was a thing and at least if he did I csn try to turn it around on him given he is the one who brought her up in the first place. I told Cody that nomming Jackie out of her, Shelli, and Michael would probably be a good idea because she's less likely to win a challenge. Granted it's Jackie so she may see this as a personal attack on her family, but the way I see it it's just an objective fact so if she's super mad about thst idk what to say. Cody brought her up first to me, so that's still on him.

[zach]

Jackie already said she was going to be nomming me which is whatever can't really be too mad about that.

But she said that she has a "plan" that she won't tell me and also I can't tell anyone else she has a plan. Oh, and despite having a plan she's asking me for suggestions for who to nom next to me.

Ok then.

[zach]

How to campaign with Zach of RNF 12 fame.

[zach]

But yeah I think being next to Howard gives me my best chance next to someone who isn't Cody. I think there's a chance the "plan" Jackie was referring to was backdooring Cody, but I'm not going to get too ahead of myself in hoping that. At least next to Howard I surely have a good chance of surviving as long as my anti-middle group is solid given Howard is straddling it harder than a bull rider on a bull.

its a bit of a BIG if to try having Kels on lock, but that's the hope. If I have Porsche, Shelli and Kelsey I'm kinda hoping there is at least a chance to get Corey too, but considering I voted for him last round and Howard did not I'm not gonna be too hopeful. However I did want to start ahead of time as far as getting potential votes so I talked to Jun, Arlie, and David who all said they'd keep me (followed by something about how they need numbers for it and whatever). The thing is, I don't think they know that I can get the other side and they probably assume I'm screwed which might be why they're so quick to tell me they'd want to keep me.I think having Erika vote my way is realistic, and no fkn idea about Cody. Cody is a conundrum and a half after all this weird bus throwing.

[zach]

I was doing well in that PoV at first but towards the end it felt like I was ridiculously slow.

Ugh, just gotta wait and see I guess. I know I'm going to be so mad at myself if I lose because I realized a good trick afterwards that had I paid attention I would have almost for sure won (I could have just saved the gif on my computer and looked at the frames, only reason I didn't think of that was that in the other comps I thought you used a flash file instead but looks like I was wrong for at least this one).

Please please please let me win this one. Doesn't even need to be by default!!!!

[zach]

Eff every IOTA of my life
