Zach's been a dead zombie since Becky left. lol No one cared to touch him because he wasn't doing anything

Debatable, more like my whole game was blown up so I was forced to adapt and make more back ground relationships than legit alliances. I will admit that for reasons not related to the game I had the win taken out of my sails a bit around the time after the round I survived the block next to Shelli (no idea why I was saved there but I wasn't gonna complain). 

Evicting Natalie over Jun btw would have been pure stupidity on my part given how close I was with Natalie in comparison with Jun and I didn't remotely trust Jun after all the alliances she was making (and leaking) prior to that. Too early in the game to send home a trustable ally.

I'm here because I couldn't win a comp to save my life for the latter part of this game and I wasn't able to keep up bonds that I could have otherwise maybe in another time where I had more time to talk to people. I got unlucky and didn't do enough to counter that, oh and also didn't use my veto advantage but by the looks of it I wouldn't have won veto anyway.

[zach]

They left rly nice goodbye messages though I gotta say.

Kelsey said something about actually considering keeping me which I feel like isn't actually a thing which is odd given I'm already gone but if it was then cool I guess. Maybe it's to try and win my jury vote or in case there were a jury buy back?

Welcome zach! Sorry to see you here I think you played a good game and you should be happy to have made it this far for being a previous winner. You started off this game really good but at the same time, things weren't going your way each week. You did kinda drop off near the end which you already explained but it was better for your game anyway. It sucks that you weren't able to clutch some competitions this week and I like that you didn't give up. Thanks so much for playing

It was actually pretty straight forward. I had spent a lot of the game trying to remain close with Erika and Arlie so if a situation like this would happen I could expect their votes. I was right, but at the same time Porsche and Kelsey were using that as a reason to evict me so eh, it is what it is. 

But those 2 were the only ones who saved me. If I was next to anyone but Natalie I think I stood a chance, but that was obviously why I was put up next to her. I tried to use the fact that I've always been this big target despite being an essentially empty threat who hasn't won a challenge in ages to get Kelsey and Porsche to keep me but I think it was hard to look past the fact that they simply just talked to Natalie more throughout the game and they felt more comfortable with her being in the game and being on their side vs me. 

I tried to use the argument that we'd basically both be aligned with them regardless and I didn't think Natalie was against them or anything (because that would have been an obvious lie and plus I wouldn't want to throw Nat under the bus like that if I could help it) BUT Natalie has survived on the block so many times and she will survive next to both Kelsey and Porsche ez, especially now that Corey seems to be splitting up from them a bit and siding with Cody who is now trying to get closer to Arlie and Erika with me gone. 

I think the argument that "I'm a big target and will align with you and have an obvious target" is overused in games as a whole. Jun and Ika both gave me reasons to save them involving that and I obviously did not, and that was because there is way more to the game than that. I needed to show more than just the fact I was a big target and I tried to by emphasizing the fact that I've been pretty reliable and trustworthy in general and in this game (unlike Jun and Ika) while at the same time keeping Natalie can actually actively hurt their game now that they'll be continued to be seen as this group while the rest of the game is splintering away from them. BUT obviously they didn't seem to think any of those parts of my argument were worth it and that's fair enough I guess, obviously up to them and if they make the end because the evicted me then good on them. 

[jackie]

That makes sense as what Ika said, Corey wanted you out for awhile now and Erika voting so save you did show that she was after Natalie more (I'm sorry when i said she was after you, I got it mixed up with natalie lol oops )

[Ika]

Erika killing it , for a bitch that dont care anymore, OK now

Think Arlie will be going home this week... oh man

[Ika]

3 weeks out the game has not change my thoughts on Kelsey week after week she shows that she cannot be trusted, she will lie to your face and stab you in the back now with that said Cody will be her next victim I am enjoying this so much to be honest...

Cody, I'm not sure how I feel about him being on the block I have a soft spot for him but he did not listen to me when I tired to warn him about Kelsey. I wanted Cody to win HOH just to see what he would do 
He is always showing up to the party late


Arlie, Love everything about him really want him to make it to the end,
maybe there is hope with Cody as the replacement nom




Erika on the other hand its funny how she is going for that bitch Kels but would not say anything to me , I don't know about you Erika I see you tho I dont care what you two say about her wanting to leave the game,
shit I said that to (after Kat fucked up & you exposed my alliance on some cheat shit dont get me started)
so I dont give a fuck its her actions that speak louder Slay bitch! Snatch her edges


Still unsure about Howard & Natalie as if right now not liking them too much both turned there back on me I will forgive them both if they will come to there senses and get that bitch out the game 
Natalie still sweetheart
Howard still bae 

Corey out of all Kels minions I like him the most , he has surprised me in this game from his shaky start
loved that he used his HOH to take out Zach
I knew he had the shot he would take it.....

I do not want Kelsey & Porsche in the F2
not even a duo
shit Porsche don't even like Kelsey she is just pretending 

I keep it real cause I'm not afraid to make enemies

[zach]

Yeah I'm not actually 100% sure what'll happen for this HoH. I do feel like there is the potential for it to be close and I'm not sure why Kelsey would nom Cody unless she thought he was going. It would be kinda funny if Cody goes here after he finally got what he wanted last round. I DID spend most of my time campaigning trying to point out how Cody was going to be against Kelsey once I left and how keeping me would delay that so I wonder if that contributed anything.

Probably not lbr Kelsey likely had that plan all along, so good on her.

It WOULD be nice to see Porsche try to separate herself from Kelsey a bit but it probably isn't even the best thing for her game if she does that anytime soon given she's probably the last person on Kelsey's target list MAYBE outside Corey, and even that is a stretch.

[zach]

ALSO fwiw about the whole screenshot thing, I think the whole thing was played and spread wrong by Erika and Jackie by spreading the fact that it specifically was a thing, but it didn't actually have that much effect on my personal decision at all game wise. I had a suspicion that you, Howard, and Jun were together anyway so the only thing that surprised me was Natalie, and it didn't really affect my relationship with her at all.

[Ika]

well well Arlie was evicted sad day
Im shocked right now have nothing to say

It was actually started by Erika, she gave me the impression that it came from Jun lol 

[zach]

rip sweet prince.

Wonder who voted where. Given it seems like Erika voted against Arlie and was the deciding vote color me shocked tbh. Plz Nat or Howard pull something out here.

[Arlie Shaban]

Yeah, Erika voted against me (gotta say that was a bad call). Howard/Nat voted to keep me, and Erika/Corey/Porsche evicted me.

Howard kind of really screwed the pooch this round too. He forged and made up a bunch of conversation quotes to get Kelsey to put Cody up (though there was spec that Kelsey somehow helped and showed them to Porsche?), with the intent of getting him gone. Porsche noticed...SOMETHING fishy and according to Howard, essentially interrogated him on it until he admitted it was fake and told me some thing on tricking Kelsey into coughing up something about a Porsche/Cody/Kelsey alliance (where Corey is just a tag along 4th). I covered it in my exit speech, but Kelsey's reasons for putting me up and "changing her mind" after swearing up and down she wouldn't had to do with me "not saving her after she saved me in a tie".

Ah, I don't know, it feels like the more of these I play, the less of these I actually get to play. It's odd, all these people going on about wanting to work with me, only for a ton of their alliances to be exposed, or it to seem like their hiding things. Or the whole "including me in the plan just by telling me what's going to happen" thing, when if they actually wanted to work with me we would be the ones deciding what happens, not them and somebody else. I had this sort of weird feeling like people were just avoiding me for some bizarre reason despite me having shown continually through games to be the type that'd make a good ally. It just...doesn't really seem to make sense IMO.
