Rachel Stays
Hallelujah! Oh Glory! Rachel stayed in this house over Chelsia who I have no relationship with. That was a VERY big deal for me. However, I basically knew that it was solidified by the time that I voted - yes, I am aware that a lot of people wavered after that point in time, but my gut was telling me it was a done deal.
Jason
So I basically told Jason that I didn't mind if he campaigned for Rachel to leave. And why would I? He is just digging his own grave. I like Jason, but I never want to allow myself to become in a position with him where I am disposable.
Anyways, while it would have sucked if he succeeded, I was confident the votes were there. And I am really glad I let him campaign for two reasons - first, his campaigning earned him a nice big target on his back, and second, he cannot bitch when I am after his ally (errr... rather he can and will bitch, but I will have some justification to fall back on).
Later, Natalie called him out on it. That was hilarious, and I gotta say that I think Natalie came out of that conversation looking a little bit better.
Ugh Jason really gives me mixed emotions. I really like him as a person, but he isn't real with me like Lydia and Eddie are, and he isn't cut off from his options, like Rachel is. By no means do I feel I can depend on him, so I am gonna have to figure out what to do a little later on I guess.
Eddie
So we are at that point again where I am lulled into the false sense of security that one of my allies in this game will not betray me. This time, it is with Eddie. And while I may be setting myself up to be epically backstabbed, can I just take a moment to say OMG I LOVE Eddie!!! He is by far the easiest person to talk to in the house (sans Lydia). And he is a smart player with a good grasp on dynamics.
It has obviously crossed my mind that he could just be using me, but TBH, I don't even really give a shit if he is. First off, I sincerely doubt it. But second, ORGs just are not as fun if you don't work with the people you like. I have a blast talking to Eddie, and I do not feel alone on the Sinners because I think of us as being in it together. So yeah it would suck if he was playing me and it is definitely possible, but the alternative (feeling alienated and trusting no one) is still much worse.
Anyways, clearly I know I have to be careful with him. He made it into this game as a sinner, and he is not afraid to lie when it suits him. But both those qualities can describe me as well - and I think that both of us are in this together.
Oh, and as a sidenote, I <3'd his fight with Big She on the boards.
HoH
Roddy FAIL.
Seriously, I don't know if I subconsciously did not want the HoH title this week, but I BOMBED that challenge and it was NOT intentional. Seriously, I felt so fuckin dumb. How the hell did I pick JASON for being the person worst at answering jury questions? I honestly have NO idea how my mind produced that answer. I guess I'll leave that questions to the philosophers...
Honestly, I just fucking HATE live challenges. I always somehow end up getting frantic and making the stupidest fucking decisions and feeling like I made an absolute fool of myself. My inability to compete well in that type of challenge is EXACTLY what cost me the game in WZ3 and I am NOT gonna go out that way again. I will figure out how to conquer this type of challenge. Mark my words.
But, that said, sinners were immune and Natalie won, so I was not too unhappy.
Dave
Isn't this just perfect... Lydia and I enter the house with a clean slate, manage to navigate ourselves into a simply orgasmic alliance with two sharp and strapping young lads, and out of nowhere BAM one goes down for the count... Hey Karma, Fuck you!
I don't know what I fucking did to deserve it, but some roundabout misfortune has found its way into my game. Hell's Angel's is down a number, but it has absolutely NOTHING to do with any of the game play that the four of us showed. It has everything to do with Dave's personal life and the shit that is going on. While I totally sympathize with his situation, and in no way want to come off as blaming him, this fucking SUCKS.
Recovering from this is gonna be hard. I think that ultimately, what this changes is the relevence of Nathan and Jason to my game.
This confessional will be updated and completed later. I am not slacking. Just busy.
