Week 10

James' Eviction

I was thrilled with the eviction results!

I'm sure James really intended to go out with a bang, but it was really more of a whimper. It was really stupid of him to turn against me so many times in one week because I was really the key to keeping him. It would have been a tough sell with Jordan, but I think I could have done it because of the power he claimed to have (or maybe did have, I could really care less).

James leaving means I don't have to be as harsh with Jeff anymore. One of my fears was that James and Jeff would realize that it was mutually beneficial for them to align and target Lyd/Jord/me. But turns out James was blind to my relationship to them anyways, although I don't think it hurt that I perpetuated an atmosphere of Anti-Jeff sentiment. And I think it worked but is no longer necessary because Jordan, Lyd and Myself comprise 3 of the 5 remaining houseguests.

HOH

I knew going into this HoH that I had a pretty good shot at winning this. Lydia was cool with me winning it because she won the last one, so I knew I would have help. And the challenge placed a large emphasis on the length of the word in the letter challenge, and I knew that was something I was really good at. Every other aspect of the challenge I might not necessarily have been fast at, but I was competent at. And speed was barely a factor.

Anyways, so the challenge was really only between me and Jordan in reality. I gave Lydia the word she used just to be nice. But she knew that i was winning. Jeff and Kev did not submit anything (not that I think he would have beat me).

So I am the HoH! And that is awesome because it means I am guarneteed final four, and that I can basically ensure that Lydia is there with me.

Nominations

My nominations are gonna be the obvious choice for me this week. Kev and Jeff will be on the block and that is not negotiable for me.

Nomination Ceremony

In my speech to Jeff, I wanted to tell him that I was nominating him but that it wasn't out of spite. I do not think that he is leaving this week. I am pretty sure he has that power up his sleeve, or maybe he was just bullshitting. I think he is trying to make it look like he has given up, and then plans to use his power.

I felt bad about nominating Kev (I have a strong suspicion he will leave this week). But I do not feel THAT bad about it. Kev never really tried at competitions, and if someone is gonna be the victim of Jeff's power, I'd much rather it be him than Lydia or Jordan.

Veto Competition/Ceremony

So I gotta say that was a frustrating competition. Figures that the last puzzle that I try is the one that is the correct one. I sent it in four minutes after Jordan.

However, I am not upset that she won the competition. I really wanted Jordan, Lydia or myself to win and I would have been happy.

I am thrilled that she did not use it. this puts me in a very strong position in final 4, because I am in the dominant alliance and I am a good challenge competitor. I have blood all over my hands, so I should be desirable to take into a jury situation.

Jeff

This dude has been MIA this week. I don't know what to think about that. Maybe he doesn't give a shit about being nominated or being on the block because he has a power or something?

I hope that he has not given up. That would be extremely lame.
