OK, sorry that I have not made a confessional yet, but this week has been fucking INSANE.
Leaving Week 6
So I have to say that Monica leaving was the best possible outcome for me. She is the person that I felt like I had the worst relationship of everyone in the house that I had the option of targeting. I knew that she would never really be interested in working with me, so as far as I was concerned she HAD to go.
Oh that reminds me about her dumbass post claiming that her nomination came from nowhere... BITCH PLEASE! You think it came Nowhere? It came from your shitty ass social game! You didn't even manage to get a vote. The ONLY memorable interaction we had like all game was when you singlehandedly took me out of HoH #3 which resulted in my nomination from a player you dramatically helped in the challenge. So ya you were a target of mine. But at least you didn't DOR
.
In terms of where I am at with James, well he wasnt that pissed at me last week, but I sealed the deal this week with HOH. He probably hates me now.
HoH Competition
So going into this week, I promised that I would be working to get Lydia HoH. She is someone that I have pretty consistently had a strong relationship with throughout the entire game, and I knew that I would be safe if she won.
So when it became clear that the competition would be a political competition (in that it would reveal a lot) I started to get a little nervous because I knew that I would have to really lay out my cards. BUT,if you aren't willing to take risks in this game you WILL get eliminated, so I did what I had to do and ensured that one of the James/Renny pair was split up. This move REALLY pissed them off because it made clear to them that I did not have intentions of taking them to the final four. Were they right in their assumptions? Probably, and in James' case, definitely. I don't really give a shit though - I only agreed to those terms in the first place because I knew that it would save Jordan, and I wasnt gonna give them an opportunity to take me, Lyd or Jordan out.
Anyways, the move basically guaranteed Lydia HoH because Renny and Jordan both have a better relationship with Lydia than they do with each other.
Secret Mission and Prize
So let me start this by saying I AM SUCH A GODDAMN DUMBASS!
So I made the decision to complete my mission in between eviction results and HoH. And I have to say, I pulled off the mission very well. I don't think that James had a clue what was going on. But I got all the words required of me in that conversation, and consequentially I got a combination for the safe.
So I have to say, I really blew it when it came to actually GETTING the power. For a very long time, I was kinda off track. The first clue was something about appearing at the same spot sometime in the past (clearly indicating going to one of the older season's basements) I went to the season 2 basement Safe 3, and I ended up getting off track for a while. I ended up searching around that website for a long time, but I was not headed in the right direction. I should have been in the season 1 basement.
So, at this point, Jeff has been messaging me for a LONGASS time about the mystery box. When I told him I was trying to get the To this point, he has basically followed through with everything that he said he was going to do, with the exception of allowing Jordan to be Cyrogenically frozen. He did use the veto on me, and he voted to keep Monidca. And on top of that, I thought the actual safe would be involved in claiming the prize, but I was not gonna give him that. It felt like a safe decision.
WELL TURNS OUT THE BITCH STOLE THE FUCKING POWER FROM ME! I was SO pissed! I COMPLETED the secret mission SUCCESFULLY, and my #1 ally offers to help me out when I am struggling, and then STEALS MY DAMN POWER! Fuck him!
But more than that I am pissed off at myself. I should have just kept it to myself. That was my gut instinct. But I wavered. And I have an instinct right now that is telling me that I just cost myself the game - otherwise I think it would have been smooth sailing for me to at least final 4.
Jeff may have made a great move. Time will tell. Now he has a power to wield and he can essentially control a few votes to go in the direction that he wants them to. And that is huge. If this power went to anyone else then it would not be that big of a deal, but Jeff has won shit loads of competitions.
But at the same time, that power came at a great expense. He has lost an extremely loyal ally - I really was planning on going to the end with him (and just figuring out a way to drop his goat of Chima). I am NOT taking him to final 2. Right now he is in a state of control, and basically has all the power, but if the opportunity presents itself, I will oust him as soon as soon as I am sure it can be done.
I am hoping and praying that this power will cease to work after the final 5. Or that he is unable to use it if he himself is nominated (although I doubt that is the case). I really hope that a power so strong would not last the entire game, and it appears from previous seasons that it is unlikely that it would, so I am praying for consistency.
But in the mean time, I have to realize that Jeff holds a lot of damn power, so I can not oppose him openly because I don't think that Renny or James are too keen on me at the moment.
Nominations
Kevin vs Chima?
I loved nominations! I would love to see Chima leave at any time now, even though she is my partner. The bitch is such a goat and like sucks at everything. Its pathetic, but she will continue to be dragged. The worst part is that I can't target or vote for her. Lydia putting her up was great for that reason.
Kevin, as much as I like him, is not someone who I really want to take to the end with me. I think he likes me, so I do not want to have the blood on my hands when somebody gets rid of him. So yeah, I liked the nominations.
Veto
I had absolutely no desire to win veto. I would have had to use it on Chima, and I really did not want to do ti. On top of that, I was exhausted from work, and I really just did not have the energy for a competition.
So Jeff essentially won via Kevin. He also tried to fuck over Lydia by sending her false answers. The reason? He is pushing for Jordan to go up! That was kinda the last straw for me with Jeff.
Lydia
OK so remember that time at the beginning of this game when said that Lydia will be a very exceptional player? Well I still stand by that comment - the girl has got a great game.
Last night, her and I had a conversation about how things are looking in the house. At one point, she just point blank came out and asked me where I stand on Jeff. I told her the truth, that I am kinda with him, but that I am looking to drop him when the opportunity presents itself.
I have not told anybody else this. Yes, I have commented to Jordan that Jeff has annoyed me, but the girl just doesn't seem to realize the value of keeping her mouth shut on certain issues. So I cannot really confide in her.
But Lydia understands just how careful we really need to be if we want to pull this off. So I trust that she will not tell anyone what I have told her. We ended up having a very long chat, and I told her a lot about what my plans were in the game. I withheld incriminating details for the most part.
The next conversation we have, I think I am gonna put everything on the table - I am gonna tell her that I want to be honest with her because I want to go to the finals with her. I KNOW that if Jeff gets betrayed by me, he will do everything he can to sell me out. He says he won't - but I would be a COMPLETE moron if I decided to believe him again after he already screwed me by taking that power (which, btw, also makes me feel like a complete moron). So I am hoping that by telling Lydia the truth myself, I can make it clear to her that I really do want to go to the end with her, and that I really have changed my mind on Jeff.
Is this a risk? Yeah, its a HUGE risk. I have to tell Lydia that I played a role in getting her nominated in week 2. I have to tell her it was MY fucking fault that I have armed Jeff with a power (the ONLY decision in this game that I regret). But it might be what is required to cement Lydia and I as a pair.
The thing is, if I don't at least try to make sure I am Lydia's number one, I will probably go at final 5 or final 4, and I am not playing for those positions. It is clear to me now that Jeff's actual final 2 partner is Chima, meaning he will want me no where NEAR the finals. I would rather take a risk at the final 7 or final 6 that could really pay off at the end, then playing for 4th or 5th.
Predictions
Kevin and Chima are both taken off the block. Renny and James are put on the block. Jordan, Kevin and Myself vote to evict James. Chima might vote to evict Renny. Jeff might use some of his votes to send renny home because he thinks James will suck at challenges more, but I doubt it because it would be really dumb of him. I dunno.
