EPISODE 2

HOH COMPETITION

So the HoH challenge was the good old capture the flag challege. The first team to get 7 will win, with the last player's flag to be captured as HoH for each side. At first Renny was not going to be there so I was a little iffy on our chances. We decided to pair up though and had a really good plan. I was with Lydia and we all rolled dice to see who we would go after... which was odd, because some people got people that they wouldn't necessarily capture. I definitely did not really want to go for Jun. What was most concerning was that Rachel and James were left over and it seemed like people would be going for James first if they got to that point since he wouldn't even be there. UGH. I did NOT want to see Rachel be HoH. She is so fake and she would certainly nominate people I need to stay in the game. Then Renny could come! And I made sure she knew Rachel wants her out so that she would take Rach out ASAP and she did. It was almost looking like Eddie could be HoH too, but in the end, he was found just before James became HoH. I really had no idea what he would do but I like the chances with him much more. And we were the winners as well. We had more people on and we just worked well together. Sarah ended up being the HoH for us, which she wasn't thrilled about. I def did not want it myself, so I don't blame her.

NOMINATIONS

Natalie and Jun were both afraid that James would nominate them, and honestly, I thought he might. I thought he could nominate anyone in that house really. I told them I would try and help them, but ultimately I didn't have to because James set his sights on Roddy and Rachel all by himself. Perfect, two people who voted me out last week. I do like Roddy though, but would love for Rachel to be sent packin'. I talked things over with Sarah and she decided on Chelsia since they have never spoke. Same here, so that's great for me too. They both went through with it, so assuming no veto domination for that season 1 clique, this week should be a major success.

VETO

When the veto came I was busy with other things and was not in a good mood, and I didn't really want to win it anyways. I knew Sheila would be getting it and really there is no one over there that I would want to bestow that gesture on. I didn't want Dave to win, but it wasn't in the cards for me anyways. So instead I just helped Natalie, Renny, and Jun a bit so they continue to trust me and think I am totally with them, and then I told Jason that Renny was almost done so that he would go ahead and submit in fear that she would win. He had all the answers anyways, since he worked with Big She. So indeed Jason and She took home the vetoes and showed everyone they are aligned pretty much. Hopefully everyone already knew that though. Jason then tells me that they have a plan and basically that plan consisted of getting Natalie up on the block and backdooring her skankass out the house. I told him I would do it, because I know things will fall apart between the two of us at some point and I'd rather see her go first. Although I didn't feel now was the time, and up against Rachel... oy. The chance to get rid of Rachel would be incredibly tempting. She is a strong competitor and I feel like she is the glue of a strong alliance. She is crafty, shady and smart. Gotsta go. I played along though and eventually the plan fell apart. James was adament that Roddy stay on the block and I don't think he wanted to nominate Natalie, I don't know exactly. But Sheila decided not to use the veto, and then Jason went ahead and took Roddy off, which I believe probably counts as a backstab against the season 1 alliance. I hope they are mad and that he is done with them now.

THE VOTE

So I really had no idea what was going to happen with this vote. Rachel came to me asking if she had my vote and I just told her what she wanted to hear. She might have my vote, but maybe not, but I am not gonna let her think I have any hesitations. I told her though that I have no hard feelings about her voting for me, and that I don't even know Chelsia so of course she had my vote. Part of me felt like she really could be loyal to me and a strong ally, but also that she was doing this with everyone, and that's hard to trust. I just don't feel like at this point we are on the same page either. Plus she's stronger than Chelsia and I just want some Saint victories, so it'd be better if the Sinners did not have Rachel. So that was how I was leaning.

Jason then started a crusade to get Rachel out, and I told him I would do it if the votes were there. Sheila ended up joining him on that despite her hatred of Chelsia, so we just needed Natalie/Renny and then Eddie. Tall order if you ask me. From what Natalie had been saying to me though I thought she would be in for sure. I don't even know how it fell apart but I think Renny just voted for Chelsia without talking to anyone much. And then Jason goes retarded like he tends to and throws names around and talks to much and it gets out of control. I'm not gonna lie, I don't appreciate him using my name when Rachel might actually stay. Natalie decided to pop off about it though and then everything got even more dragged into the open and we had just a lovely little stupid dramafest and Natalie and Jason are pitted against eachother even more than before now. Funny stuff though is Eddie STILL pretending like he voted for Jessica though. Cracks me up. In the end, after all that there was no hope for a Rachel boot and I like most everyone else jumped into the majority. I won't miss Chelsia at all but hopefully Rachel does not became a major pain for me.
