EPISODE SEVEN
HOH COMPETITION
So this HoH competitions turns out to be a DOUBLE! DOUBLE EVICTION! W000000000T That means I am in the final NINE, and not TEN. But it was jury phase already anyways! Holler. So obviously, I am frozen this week and didn't have to do the challenge, but I certainly cared about the outcome. Ideally, I wanted to see Jason and Renny be the dual-HoHs once again. Jason had most all of the info saved, so I thought he had a great shot. I helped double check everything and added my input where needed. I really didn't know if anyone else had saved that shit too, so really I wasn't sure what would happen. Turns out that some other people clearly did have that info! Renny/Sarah/Will clearly worked together based on their scores and answers, and it was Renny and Sarah who were HoH. Had I been vulnerable this week, I would have been very pleased with this, because I would be in the clear... but this is not good for Jason.
NOMINATIONS
Sarah nominated Joshuah and Alex for eviction. I didn't talk to her too much about her decision ahead of time, but it certainly wasn't surprising at all. I am definitely hoping that it is Joshuah who leaves this week. But if he does stay at least he can be pissed at someone else.
With Renny, it was clear that she would be nominating Jason. She had her eyes set on him since the beginning and she told me that he was the last person in the game that she had a target on. She decided to put Jun up which made sense since Renny had been telling me how annoying Jun has been. And duh. It's Jun.
BEAN SPILLAGE 2.0
So, I love how someone always ends up telling me all the fun stuff that is going on behind the scenes with the secret powers.
This time it was Renny and it really cleared up a lot of things that are happening. I'm not super stoked about it all since I am not going to be involved really, I am just really happy to know about it all, and am totally fine with where the power does lie.But anyways... this time around, to get a clue or a key or whatever to get to the safes, you must accomplish two things post house splittage... win HoH, win Veto, be vetoed, or survive the block. GLAD I HAVE DONE NONE! Anywho, Will was the first to accomplish this after surviving the block and then becoming HoH. He was the first to get in and he did win a prize. All the while, an alliance truly was brewing between Renny, Sarah, and Will. He shared this with them, and from there it was their mission to keep the HoHs to themselves so that only they get access. And that they did, giving Renny her second win and access to a safe which she made good work of. Will's prize is decent (nominate a third player post-veto) but Renny's is way better (coup) so WOOT at her having that shit. And this all leaves one more safe, so they have a plan to keep in amongst themselves. With 2 vetoes this week and 2 survivors, lot of people will get to their second accomplishment. This is where Jun comes in. She can be the pawn which Will can remove with his silver veto, giving her access and then they can help her to the safe, BUT STEAL IT FROM HER BAHAHA. So yeah, all very interesting, and like I said, this doesn't really threaten me. I'm glad it's not other people with this power and knowledge. I am definitely going to cozy up closer to Sarah and Will though, just to make sure they don't do something against me and to also see if they might tellme about it or not. I doubt it, we'll see. Maybe Sarah? Renny said that he told Jun almost everything though already. And she hasn't told me a lick of it, so it's nice to know that I am truly not any sort of final two ally. And that's fine, because she is definitely not mine. But it's good to know for the future.
From here, I am hoping Gayson just wins the veto. It will be a tall order, but I think it's pretty much do or die with him. He is working on getting the votes and now he thinks he has Lydia, Roddy, Eddie, and Joshuah, which is certainly possible, but things will change and he will probably end up being on the block next to one of them if he doesn't win the veto. He does think he can get Jun's though... but I don't know about that. If the others are smart, they will vote to keep Jason though because power is brewing against them and they don't even know how strong this little group is. I have decided to not tell Jason anything at this point though. I trust him, but not to keep his mouth shut. If he is going, I am not going to be outed as betraying Renny's confidence. No way. If he does stay, it may be advantageous for me to let him know, but we'll see.
So I played along and she told me she was stuck so I offered to help and I figured out the picture password in a snap. From there it was just math squares. I started at the top and she started at the bottom. So of course it was the bottom one and she took forever to solve as I got through almost all of the other ones >.> But we got through at least and MAJOR LAFFOS when we see that the prize is the POW power she had last time <3. Bahahahaha. I'm confident she won't use it on me but HEY, I was pretty confident she wouldn't use it on Sheila last time. I think this has brought us closer together though which is good. I hate though that I have to be like strung along and play nice with the people with power. But at this point I don't know what I can do. I feel safe and all but this isn't how I wanted to play come this stage of the game. So, ugh. I need to figure out how to go from here and without Jason I don't know what that is going to be. GRR.
