Week #6 - Hold On!
[break] So Becky is gone and I feel like an idiot. This could have been avoided had she just asked me to use it directly. Not just "it would be nice but you don't have to" and "I think I have the votes". Keeping Becky around was keeping someone that wouldn't put me up, who was a clear target and scape goat for myself. We had mutual targets and having her how's isn't ideal. Sure she's one less threat and they broke up the "alliance" but that alliance was crumbling anyway and Shelli has connections to make a group of equally the same size with two previous winners in it. I kept my vote on Corey despite knowing he'd stay. It wouldn't be fooling anyone if id try to have changed vote and atleast this way I look like I stick to my word. [break][break] I can't let this get me down, one round not in my favour isn't enough to ruin my game for good. Like every other round the plan is to kill the competition and win myself a third HoH. What I'm most nervous about though is the nature of this HoH, it's not a typical skill/speed competition. This means literally anyone could snatch the win with a bit of luck and insight. Without trying to be too down on myself I don't have high hopes that I'll win this challenge so I'm just going to have keep working on my connections and pray for someone I'm closer to wins.

Week #6 - Hold On!
[break] So the results are out and I literally did the worst in the HoH competition. Which lets hope is a positive thing (It’ll show I'm not good at all the challenges, maybe make my social game look bad and therefore I’m perceived less threatening as a whole). It’ll also mean I’m able to compete next week and don’t have to upset anyone by who I do or don’t nominate. [break][break] The new Head of Household is Jackie and I’m feeling really good about it actually. I feel like we have a good relationship and we’ve talked about mutual targets so I would be surprised to see myself nominated this week. However, it quickly gets around to me that my name has been circulating as a potential option. The root of the problem to me seems to be Zach. [break][break] Jackie approached me telling me that Zach had said I was the one who originally brought up Jackie’s name in week two for eviction… He proceeded to copy and paste a quote from our conversation history (out of context) and sent it to Jackie. The quote listed out the options i told him I had as a potential nominee (once he took Jen from me). Which was basically just a list of everyone excluding his nominees (Jen/Tiffany) and the people that weren’t safe due to the clique twist. He tried to send this to her in an attempt to make me look incriminating. [break][break] My intention in the statement was to see who he would suggest out of the options I listed. He proceeded to suggest Jackie… At the time I ran this information straight to Jackie and told her him and a few others had suggested I nominate her if I wanted to remain HoH (this being completely true). I thought this would be a good way to build trust and let her know I wouldn’t nominate her. I also informed her that I thought Zach would be re-nominating her which she actually didn’t believe at the time even though he proceeded to do exactly that. [break][break] I’ve been upfront with Jackie since Week 2 and the fact that Zach thinks he can ruin that by sending one quote out of context is laughable (people cross check information).I’ve been HoH twice and haven’t nominated her and been communicative about my thoughts anytime she’s asked. Clearly he’s getting desperate and knows he’s a big target right now and trying to throw as much shit until something sticks to get him out of this mess. Well it’s not gonna’ work that easily because you just lost one vote to keep you in the event you stay on the block. The one concerning aspect is that he’s clearly throwing someone under the bus who he thinks he can beat in a vote and right now he thinks that’s me (and he might be right). But all is not as meets the eye because I have made an effort to keep up relationships with the majority of the house and I’ll give you a run down in my next post which will be my relationship with each of the house-guests.

[attr="class","picturecontainer"] [attr="class","theinformation"] JaCKIE IBARRA SEASON 12 → 15TH As I said in the previous confessionals I feel good about Jackie, I think we both have similar mindsets on who the threats are in the house and I think we’ve talked enough that she’ll keep me safe this week as Head of Household.
I like Jackie, I find her easy to talk to but unlike others there hasn’t been any real deal formed between us yet. Although I would argue that I trust her more than Arlie/David who have both offered me a deal. I hope that going forward we work out something that can help us both out because I would like to go further with her. She has told me I’m safe this round and she doesn’t want to see me go.
| [attr="class","picturecontainer"] [attr="class","theinformation"] KELSEY FAITH SEASON 14 → 13TH Similarly to Erika I like Kelsey a lot. I want to commit to her and be completely open with her but I’m apprehensive because I feel like she is better connected with others more than myself. I thought that by getting Jen out she’d at least gravitate further to me but I don’t feel like that’s this case. If anything I feel as though she’s closer with Shelli/Porsche and I’m not really comfortable with that. If she were to win power and nominate me I wouldn’t be completely surprised but I’d definitely be upset. I don’t think Kelsey will make it that much further. I feel as though she’ll end up on the block against a Shelli or Porsche and lose the vote. | [attr="class","picturecontainer"] [attr="class","theinformation"] IKA WONG SEASON 9 → 1ST Another confusing character, I honestly don’t know where Ika stands, what her game play is or why she’s even here. I don’t really talk to her that much nor does she really try with me. She could definitely nominate or evict me and I wouldn’t have anything to be upset over cause there’s really nothing between us. I’ve nominated her in the past and based on her responses in the majority rules questions she stated I’m a threat and would win (delusional much? But i’ll take it as a compliment). I don’t find her intimidating even though she’s a previous winner. I feel as though she will go deep. | [attr="class","picturecontainer"] [attr="class","theinformation"] HOWARD OVERBY SEASON 14 → 6TH He's definitely the dark horse at the moment (I know how bad that sounds). I think he's been playing pretty conservatively and he's another one I expect to make it pretty deep. We have a connection from the first time I played and I think he knows I'll be loyal to him. He's one of the people I trust the most, although I wish he was able to get on a little more often. If he won HoH I'd be surprised if I was nominated. This alliance with me and Arlie will probably flop but maybe it will at least reduce the risk of either of them thinking about going against me. | [attr="class","picturecontainer"] [attr="class","theinformation"] NATALIE NEGROTTI SEASON 15 → 3RD Natalie is another confusing one similar to Jun. I liked her from the start she’s nice and easy to talk with. She was in the alliance and didn’t tell me about it but at the same time she still picked me for veto and we talk a fair bit. I think even though we haven’t made any clear deals our interests align and she’d keep me around for that alone. I don’t think she’ll be that loyal to me going forward though I could see her evicting me if push came to shove. We have a little duo name called The Weenies because we’re wimps and scared of confrontation. | [attr="class","picturecontainer"] [attr="class","theinformation"] DAVID HODIS SEASON 13 → 4TH He was the first person to offer me some sort of deal. In that we would stick together (no specific final ___ was promised). We've talked consistently throughout the game and he's yet to do anything against me. Last round I was kind of upset that he voted out Becky and it makes me nervous to think he probably has a better connection with Porsche than myself. I'm hesitant to trust him fully but I'm hoping for the best. If he won Head of Household, I wouldn't expect to be nominated (potentially backdoored if he wanted to). As of late I feel as though our conversations have dwindled that's why having this alliance with Howie/Arlie is good to have as a back up to cover my bases. |

[attr="class","picturecontainer"] [attr="class","theinformation"] ARLIE SHABAN SEASON 14 → 4TH I think I've made good progress with Arlie from where we were at the beginning of the game, we've talked a lot more recently and he suggested we create an alliance with myself and Howie (the middle ground). I took initiative and after talking over with Howie I created a chat between us to showcase I’m willing to take a risk and be the one to make the chat (in the event it’s leaked i can show the Arlie was the one to suggest it first based through chat logs). Last round also made me feel a lot better about him in the way he conducted himself around the vote. I think similarly to me he kind of seems like more of a lone wolf and joining with him could make for a good and unexpected pair. I would feel safe if he was to gain power.
| [attr="class","picturecontainer"] [attr="class","theinformation"] COREY BROOKS SEASON 15 → 10TH We really haven't talked a lot at all, I kind of avoided him most of last round because I wasn't entirely sure how to talk to him. He's definitely someone i see going quite far, he's not intimidating comparatively to the rest of the cast and I think he'll get dragged. If he won HoH he could nominate me and it'd be completely justified. Going into this week I have to be upfront, tell him I voted him out and let him know it wasn’t against him more so that I owed it to Becky to keep her. I don’t think he’ll buy it but I have to start somewhere.
| [attr="class","picturecontainer"] [attr="class","theinformation"] ERIKA LANDIN SEASON 15 → 9TH I want to trust Erika. I like Erika. I've talked to her consistently and we've played Friday 13 and she's at least easy to talk with but she basically refuses to talk game with me. But then I hear she talks game with other people so it makes me worried that she's not being authentic with me. If she would just say she trusts me and wants to stick together that would atleast be enough and she can continue insulting me in my dms as per usual. If she got into power I wouldn't expect to be nominated by her. I also see Erika going far, I don’t think she’s intimidating to anyone.
| [attr="class","picturecontainer"] [attr="class","theinformation"] PORSCHE BRIGGS SEASON 13 → 1ST A big wild card, I’ve made an effort to try maintain conversation and rapport from the beginning of the game. If our history shows anything it’s that she has the potential to win and turn against me. She definitely has closer allies than me in this game but I’m hoping that the effort I’ve put into keeping up communications will save me if she had to nominate someone (but I wouldn’t be surprised to see myself up there again). I think she’s a big threat and someone who will be tricky to get out. We’ve made this cute kangaroo buddy pact where she’s the mamma and I’mma hide in her pouch undercover as we hop our way to jury. I need to keep close because she’s dangerous.
| [attr="class","picturecontainer"] [attr="class","theinformation"] JUN SONG SEASON 15 → 7TH I don’t trust Jun at all. She’s one of those people that have been very mysterious thus far and I think it’s the most dangerous player in the game right now and simply I want her to go. We talk occasionally and seem to be fine but she hasn’t promised me anything and has conveniently avoided power thus far. This means even if people are threatened they’re still apprehensive to make the first move because she hasn’t done anything against them. I think if Jun were to get in power she would nominate me and say it was a hard decision even though she knows it's because we don’t have a great relationship or any existing deals. I think she has her fingers in too many pies and I want her outta here. | [attr="class","picturecontainer"] [attr="class","theinformation"] SHELLI POOLE SEASON 14 → 1ST I can’t even maintain a conversation with this lady. I tried out of desperation to cover my bases last round incase she would nominate to make a large effort. However, after I ensured my safety for the week the conversations have died again. If she wins power I’ll definitely go up because I can’t make the same bullshit excuses again and expect to be saved. Jackie told me she is the backdoor option for this week if zach is to get removed. Unfortunately she was also picked to play veto if she wins I’ll die internally. The ideal situation is neither zach or shelli win, ensuring at the very least one will remain on the block and ideally go home. | [attr="class","picturecontainer"] [attr="class","theinformation"] ZACH OLEYNIK SEASON 12 → 1st I was actually thinking of trying to make a better connection with Zach based off of the last round with Becky and the fact that I want bigger threats around as scapegoats for myself. However, if he’s going to try and throw me under the bus in order to save himself then it’s easier for me to simply vote him out given the opportunity. He’s a past winner and decent at challenges so getting rid of him will only further my chances and winning the game. If he stays and gains power I will definitely be put on the block I can see it. |

My vote is to evict Shelli.
It just isn't going to work, at least with Zach I can talk to him coherently.
You're both as threatening and dislike me equally as much.
