The Basic Becky Bible ~ Week #4

[becky]

fun fact: being HoH doubles the views you get on your confessional for the week

But seriously, that last round? A mess. I did already confess about it, but Kelsey is definitely going a bit crazy already. I think this is going to be a long game for her.

Regarding putting Steve up and seeing him leave: I think I made the right move for sure. Jen giving her a passionate goodbye definitely made me feel good. I suspected that those two were close and I was right, so taking away an ally from Jen is good with me. I also think I took away Steve as an ally from a lot of people I did expect as well, such as Shelli and Kelsey. My alliance with those two definitely took a hit last round, but I think it's okay. I'm going to have to distance myself from those 2 as the weeks go on I feel like, because they are aligned against a lot of people I care about. Zach, Cody, Arlie, etc.

Overall, the HoH didn't go exactly like I wanted it to at all, but I will still chock it up as a win for Becky. Plus, now the game has gotten interesting. I have enemies among the cast already, and I feel invigorated to sort of keep myself safe and make some moves against people.

Now for the future though, I am also excited to see cliques gone. I'm expecting MVP to be announced soon, so that'll also be fun if it's a thing. Definitely excited that HoHs will have full reign of the cast to nom presumably, bc idt i'll be a target.

Arlie winning HoH = ideal. Like seriously, I put in a lot of work to prove that I trusted him in my HoH round and I'm definitely reaping the benefits, at least for this week. Regarding the noms, I feel like they should be pretty straight forward. Arlie and Kelsey had a fight last round, so it just fucking makes sense for him to put Kels up. Likewise, Arlie is thinking of putting Jen up rn because she is gonna win veto comps I think? So like, kels and jen going up is SUPER IDEAL for me.

Kelsey I cannot trust. Seriously. Shes playing all nice with me right now, but I've heard through the grapevine that she was gonna put me up for Steve leaving. And she's just been super aggro with me for the past couple days so it's like. whatever. That said, voting her out completely breaks the alliance I have w/ her and shelli. Which I kinda feel like I broke when I put Steve up but you know whatever. I'm over them both. Kelsey is fake af and Shelli just never talks to me anymore.

But Jen going up...I don't know. that changes things. Jen is my only direct enemy. That is, she is the only one who we have both acknowledged that we'll put the other up if we win HoH. So if she's up on the block, shouldn't I vote her out? I dont know, it's complicated.

Whatever. It's a chill week for me. I set a goal to repair my relationship with Erika and I think that's working. We both don't like Jen, so that has been an easy bonding tool. The enemy of my enemy is my friend right?

Arlie to me: well i think if i put up this person then this group of people will vote for this person but then if i dont put them up then this person will be mad at me but then if i put this other person up then this gropu of people controlled by this person will vote for this person

A truly messy round!

I'm not going to give a huge recap since I'm sure it's crap you've heard already. Jun told Shelli about the alliance I'm in with zach her and nat. Shelli leaked it to Jen. Jen leaked it to everyone else. Chaos ensued.

I was on damage control all night last night and then pretty much all of today. I'm just trying to make the fact that I was not the orchestrator of this alliance and that it would just have been stupid for me to leak the alliance. This was difficult with some people, such as Cody. Like, Cody didn't seem mad at all and I truly don't think he is. But I personally just felt like shit because he is someone I feel close to in this game, but I was keeping a secret. Thankfully I told him about it before it got to him, so I'm not too worried about that.

This mess has also allowed me to have really candid conversations with people about the game. I had a great talk with Kels and we kind of ironed out our relationship the past couple weeks. Like, we've had a lot of conversations where we've talked through the past couple weeks and decided it's okay, but this is the first one where I felt like we truly ironed shit out. We acknowledged we aren't on the same side, but that we can watch each other's backs, and that's all that I can ask for. Truly, I still do not trust her, and I do not think I will be able to at all. But I'm willing to enact a ceasefire for now.

Other people I've had good conversations with about this are Erika, David, Howard, and Porsche. Are things awkward with me and those four? Yes. But I would like to avoid getting nominated by them, so I'm doing my best to make sure I at least am good with them individually. David and I's relationship has grown with leaps and bounds (because our relationship was at about a zero), and now that we are talking game he's someone I like a lot.

Dunno though. I'm nervous to see how week 5 will shake out. Becky might find herself on the block.
