EPISODE SIX
HOH COMPETITION
So this challenge is the kind where people get to knock each other out, so I felt like it was really anyone's game. Someone could dominate or someone could coast to the end doing nothing. I answered the first question right, and eliminated Josh from the competition, someone who I am very unsure about and didn't want to see be HoH. He confronted me afterwards, but come on now, why should I NOT eliminate you. It's the game. I got pressure immediately to get Big She out though, but no. I am fine if she is safe so just no. Plus, I still feel loyal to her and I am not going to go out of my way to get her out of this game. And I don't mind her fat targetted as to stick around. A couple more people got eliminated then, including Eddie who I also did not want to win, and then I got another right and again was pressured to get She out, but still no. I told Renny and Jun that she would do it to herself eventually or someone else would take her out. And that's just what happened on the very next question. Then people kept eliminating themselves til it was just me and Will left. I felt completely safe with Will winning, so I wasn't totally driven to win at that point, but I also wanted to win and get rid of someone who I just don't need to stick around. I thought the question was going to be hard though, so I didn't want to BUZZ! in until I read it, which was a bad call because Will was quick and the answer was easy. Oh well, not a heartbreaker. He told me I was safe right away and I felt he was good for it.
After the competition, Eddie confronted me about telling people that he said Sheila would come for me next after Rachel (and Renny) were out. I was like ugh. I told Jason this to keep him on his toes with Eddie and because I trust him, but of course he told Sheila who couldn't keep it to herself. WHATEVER, I was being way too nice to everyone and needed an enemy. Not like Eddie scares me or anything, but it is now my mission to get his lame ass out da house. He like HAD to know who I told this to that told it to Sheila, but there was no reason for me to tell him. Me and him are goin' no where and I don't want people knowin' how close I am with Jason.
NOMINATIONS
Will told me he would nominate the two newbs, Josh and Alex, because they just don't deserve to be here. And they are just an easy choice to make to not piss everyone off. He told me though that if one were to come off he would go for the jugular and put up Big She (or Gayson). I honestly was not sure how to feel about this. I do know that Sheila cannot make it toooo far, but she could still be a very big help to me. I knew though that I would be keeping quiet on this one. Jason and She have proven to have huge yappers and as much as I would like to give them a heads up I am not about to destroy my position in the game. Everything seemed to be heading according to plan and Alex and Josh indeed were nominated.
THE VETO
Auction time! YEAH MORE GUD PRIZES! Just what I like to see when I don't need to actually win the veto! Although I figured it would be tricky to get one because I figured most people would not be trying for the veto and would be going for good things. I really had no idea what to do. Several of the prizes were tempting and I just didn't know what the best plan of action would be. After talking with a few I decided to just go ahead and go gung ho for the cryogenics. I have mixed feelings about it because while it is amazing to be safe for the week, things could go terribly wrong without me there and I could lose an ally that I otherwise could have saved. I want to be able to vote and make an impact, although if I did I might be breakin' hearts, so it might really be better for me to go ahead and lay low with a week off. I will still have lots of options regardless. So I just bid 100 on it. I figured that people will think a lot of people will go 100 on it, so they will go a little less, so then really no one does go 100, so I tried it. It worked. YEEYAH!
And Eddie was the winner of the actual veto for the week. Now, why would he be going for the veto? He muuust be working on the backdoor Sheila plan, otherwise there was no reason to take bad prizes. Even though just the other night after me and him had our whatever it was and he told Jason that he was on their side since he was soooo lost and whatnot. It was pretty clear what he really wanted. Jason was catching on to the plan and I tried to fill him in a bit so that he could get something in the works and talk to Will and make him tell Sheila so she could get to work, but it was to no avail because all went ahead. Ed used the veto on Josh (yuck) and then Will put the big one up. I don't know where it will go from here. Lots of strategizing left to go, but Sheila is in hot, hot water.
