So yeah as you can see from above I have no idea wtf is going on with Jackie. Calls me a liar and then says she is counting on me. At least she's a lot more visible now which is one of the reasons why I've been wanting Tiff to leave over her. Plus I think despite what Tiff may say, she has been made well aware she was my target so not like there is a way of getting a good bond out of EITHER of my noms, so might as well remain consistent and get the DT points.
While I was here I wanted to mention a few brief story lines/future problems that idt I've had the chance to mention yet. I think last night hurt but most everyone has been sympathetic with me so far so hoping that it's legit, but that's a later thing to worry about.
After a few bumps at the start Shelli rly has proven to be a great ally. She's someone who doesn't throw comps so you can hope for them to win a comp at any point, she's been offering her viewpoints and opinions about all this game stuff which I've definitely appreciated, and she's been keeping me in the know about stuff while and while not being HoH. This makes me admittedly feel bad that I've been a bit of an alliance whore, and a part of me kinda hopes she has been doing something similar (def not the game part tho). The issue I forsee having is her finding out that I've been close to a lot of people and sees that as me going against her and not giving her everything. In Sausage Island all star, one of her quotes was "you either give me everything or I give you NOTHING" (might have been "or give me nothing" but I forget and am too lazy to check). She would have the right to be mad finding out about the Jun-Becky-Nat thing (which I have since solidified everyone said they were down for it so glad I had the chance to do that) but the awkward thing is that I've talked to her about more game stuff and feel closer game wise so it'd be annoying to lose that.
So apparently Natalie found out that last week Porsche came pretty close to nominating her. I didn't even know that was a thing tbh but also it DID open my eyes up to how I'm not sure if my allies interests are always going to align and work out. Scratch that, I KNOW they will not always align. If Natalie goes after Porsche I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do without making it awkward. The only thing I can think of is asking nicely (lol) to not target her because that can start a trend of targeting the past winners. Hopefully this doesn't come up for a while.
Now I love Howard and I wish he was online more so we can talk game and stuff, because I feel like HE feels like he's out of the loop and I'm assisting in that happening. He said that no one was asking him what he thought about Jackie vs Tiff and when I said that as HoH I've been telling people Tiff giving my reasons why, he just kinda quieted down. He wants Jackie gone and I totally understand his reasoning as to why, and wouldn't blame him at all if he were to vote Jackie, but idk of a good way of getting him in the loop without making him feel powerless and potentially blame me for it. He's a smart player with pretty good social dynamic instincts, so I just need to make the extra effort to speak with him more about game stuff.
Last main thing I'll probably talk about is Jen. Now she's weird as it is but she pretty bluntly said I'll probably be her target once Cody and Ika are gone. Now #1 there are clearly some red flags there lmao, considering on top of this I wouldn't be surprised if she goes around throwing me utb to people. It's probably the weirdest relationships I have in this game and even one of the weirdest I have in all of ORGs. She also said that she wouldn't target me if the divide and conquer thing works out (which realistically I don't see happening) and I explained to her that I was so open with her about my HoH as a sign of good faith (in reality I think I was on some kind of drug because it was probably dumb to talk to Jen about everything as much as I did).
I think those are the big things. Of course there's stuff like being worried that I'm not talking enough to some people like Arlie and Steve. I've probably talked a decent enough amount with Kelsey but not like we have anything official so I feel like that has the potential to get real negative real fast, and I like Cody and would me more than open to working with him but it's hard because of seemingly no one else caring about him. He also wants all my allies out lmao, so like that's not fun (Porsche, Shelli, and Michael in particular). Hoping that these either don't become issues or that I'll be able to navigate my way through them, it's just a lot for week 2.
But it's what I signed up for.
