EPISODE ONE

PRE-GAME

WARZONE ALLSTARS! OH BOY! Judging by how ridiculous the first three seasons were, this one is sure to be out of control. I can't wait to see how it pans out. My strategy this time will be largely the same as last time. I will always be loyal to the people who are loyal to me, and the people who I don't like, I will lie to and kick them out the door. Some people give me grief for letting Big She "control" me, which is a bunch of hooey, but regardless I plan on not letting her win so many challenges this time around. SHE GOIN DOWN. Except I do intend to work with her, just I will not let her look like such an HBIC. There are many other people I hope to work with. This game is ridden with people who have known each other for a very long time. Jessica is someone I know has my back more than imagineable. I also am really tight with Jason and Renny. (Too bad Renny hates both Jason and Jess and She, and Jess and Jay have been on the rocks as of late). I wish they all liked each other. I have met Renny in real life though, and I am sure someone is going to try and use that against me. I don't care though, bring it. I have talked with Jason and Jessica about working with the other and they are in a better place now, so I could see the four of us (including Sheila) working together. I was upfront with Jason and told him that I could never betray Jessica. Everyone should know that anyways. And I know how close he is with Sheila, which isn't such common knowledge, but still most should know. I told him that I would only vote him out if he was against Jessica, and he promised the same except with She. I need to talk with Renny some more, but last I knew she's not happy with any of them so that will be tricky. Other people of interest... the others from season 2. I've had my ups and downs with all of them but am in good standing with all of them except Nat. Sarah and I have not talked as much since the season ended but we are still cool and I expect to work together. Oh, but guess what, she has issues with Jessica too. Will I still like, but haven't talked to much. He could be hit or miss. And Jun and I are back in a very good place once again, just like always when not in games. She says she wants to work together despite me getting her out last time. And yeah, Natalie. Fuck her. I don't have a problem with her sometimes but she tries to hard to get loud and be confrontational. It's just stupid and annoying. And I've been hearing for weeks that she wants me out. Which is fine, I don't care, but don't come to me acting like we are biffs. Just in... Rachel is playing. I have never played with her before but there is a lot of potential there. She has always liked me a lot, but seeing that Jessica is playing and he knows how we play, he might want to break us up. I know Crazy James and Eddie also, and they could be hit or miss really. I didn't really know Lydia, Roddy, Dave, or Chelsia at all before this game, but I know enough about all of them. I definitely think Roddy and Lydia would be people I would like to work with, and I have had good conversations with each already. So yeah. Mess. What I want most out of this game is to have fun. So I just don't want to take all of the inevitable drama too seriously and to just have fun with it and hopefully this doens't get personal.

I haven't started playing the game too hard yet like some people. I want to know what the twist is and how it is going to impact things before I try and put my eggs in a basket. I will certainly be a saint though and hopefully this can all work to my advantage. Regardless I am going all out for the first HoH. I have no fear in winning absolutely any competition, I don't care if it brings me any target or not. I already have enough of one for being a winner and me winning challenges shouldn't surprise anyone anyways. I do NOT want to be first out and do not want my best allies out either. This is the only sure way. If I win it, IF POSSIBLE, I will be nominating Natalie. I can't deal with her for the whole game again.

HOH CHALLENGE

So first we find out about the twist and how it's all gon' work. It's going to make things very interesting. My first thought is that it's going to be rough because I really like all of the saints. There is no one that I really want to nominate at all. I just really don't know Dave very well, and that's all I got. Winning HoH is very crucial though because two people will be making nominations. That is scary because even if my saint ally wins, I could still be nominated by the sinner HoH. On the flip side though, if someone nominates me on the saint side, if the HoH on the sinner side is my ally, they can nominate someone who I could stay against. It really opens things up. I think it is a great though and really changes the game.

So this means we have a group challenge, and I really wanted to win it. It would mean safety for myself, but also a sinner would leave, which are where the people I am not too fond of are for the most part. Not that there's many, I am way too loving. But I guess that is why I am a saint. Something came up and I couldn't really get into the challenge until it was halfway through and then I was playing catch up and ugh, I still did good and contributed, but I think that if I were able to be there on time and focus that I DEFINITELY would have been our HoH and maybe the saints would have won overall. Anyways, Renny was feeding me the answers as well as there was a group chat of saints including myself, Jason, Lydia, Sarah and Will. So I was kind of playing to both. Renny told me ahead of time that she wouldn't be able to be there but if she did win she would nominate Jason and Jessica, which I would not like. So I don't really know why I worked with her at all. She was actually ahead of the rest of the group and with my help was in the last safe first but then disappeared. So I really wasn't sure if she did the maze or not. When we got through with the group I went back and posted in all of the boards since I didn't want to let on earlier that I was ahead of them. I did the maze puzzle and made it through and then I see that Will already had it. WTF how? Oh, Natalie gave it to him >.> Hate her so much. I should have been HoH. Not that I even know if I wanted it, but ugh at her. That's just lame. As expected the sinners won and Renny did indeed NOT do the maze so Will became our HoH. We discussed in the chat after that that we should all be safe since we were there for the group effort and Will definitely agreed. I was not totally sure if I was happy that he won though. We get along great, but don't talk all that much and he knows how much of a threat I am. But he has talked to me on a few occasions about season 2 working together so hopefully he sticks by that. I unfortunately then had to go do another challenge for another game so I wasn't all that present the rest of the night but I did try and get some stuff done. I was hearing all sorts of things about what was happening and it sounded crazy and I'm not sad to have been left out of it. All these rumors of a Mixed Game alliance, and other even more proposterous alliances which was just dumb. I don't even know all of the crap that was flying around. Jessica and Jason both seemed to hear about them being in the hot seat though. Sheila told me that Will wants Jason up so that she will veto him and not Jess. I love how he assumes she will win a veto. It worries me though if she is the target because I know he heard that I am close with her. I also heard a possible Dave target since he is somewhat of an outsider, or also Renny for the same reasons probably. I wanted to just touch base with Will though because I was hearing all this shit and hadn't been talking to him at all. He told me that he was going crazy with everything he was hearing and also was so annoyed that Natalie expected him to do her bidding. That should not be a surprise. I asked him if she wanted me up and he actually said no and that I'm actually the only one no one has suggested. Wow if that is true. But anyways he seemed torn and I don't think he's going to put me up, and if he does, he better watch out. I have no reason to think at this point that I am any sort of target, just I am more worried about being a pawn or something, because I would use the veto if I won it and wasn't on the block, that's for damn sure. Really though I have no idea what he's going to do. I think though that Sheila will nominate Dave if Will doesn't though, and that will be good. As long as he is on the block and I am not, that is pretty much my best case scenario.

NOMINATIONS

Fucking Will. I should have known that since Jessica seemed to be his target that he would nominate me too. It makes sense but I am still PISSED OFF. I am mad at him for going back on his word and I am mad at Jessica for completely overplaying the situation and getting me into this. I knew it would be a struggle being in this game together and am not surprised to be on the block next to her. Week 1 though??? UGH. Big She will hopefully nominate Dave. I am very concerned that if I don't win the veto that I would be evicted. Since the sinners get to vote they might love to get rid of my for my strength in challenges. Fuck this.

[Nathan Marlow]

So Sheila actually nominated Renny, which I should have known. It's not exactly ideal. I don't want her to go, but Renny and Jessica are really against each other at this point so hopefully that can be some kind of fuel to keep them in the line of fire and not myself. I really don't want either of them to go home though, so hopefully both vetoes are used and someone else gets thrown up on the block. Even if one of them going makes it possibly easier for me to be in the game, I don't want it to happen.

So upon getting nominated, I know I have some work to do. I haven't been able to talk to a lot of the people on the sinner side of the game, and they will all be voting except for Big She. I just need to lock up a few votes from them, because I really do think most of the saints will keep me. Rachel messaged me and it went well. We've always got along great and we had a good conversation. She seemed to be nervous that my connection with Jess would make me not want to work with her. I do what I wahnt. And I told her that. It's the truth too, I am not playing this game how she is playing it, and I am doing my own thing while staying loyal to her. I don't know how legit it is that he is concerned about her. He made them seem to be enemies, while Jessica has told me that there is a season 1 alliance and they are getting along well. I hope that she really isn't going to be more loyal to Jessica than me, and really I have no idea. I feel like they might be being fake to her, but maybe not. If I could get Rachel's support though, that could be huge. If ended up on the block against Dave or something though, it could be trickier. She also made it seem like they are enemies, but I don't buy that either. She's playing the same shady game again, but at this point I will go with it and hopefully she can help me. My other target on the sinners was surprisingly Natalie. She has still been talking to me here and there and besides one little fight it has been whatever. I went out of my way though to try and start up a little something with her. Really I just want her vote this round, but if she proves herself to be a help, I will return the favor. Then I went on to include Renny since I know they are close and it is good ground to start from and start some trust. Problem is I know Nat would pick her over me with the veto or with a vote, so hopefully it doesn't come to that. I don't know why I am doing this, but I just need to cover my bases and maybe this can be some help in the long run. If she actually can be cool like this, who knows.

I also talked to Will about the nomination and everything. We had a civil conversation and I told him that I wasn't happy about it obviously but I understand it and all. He told me he thinks I have nothing to worry about and says he made sure that the votes would be there to keep me. I wouldn't rely on that for shit. I do believe he wants me to stay though. I told him that I have no plans to retaliate against him, which I don't. But he put me in danger, so if I am HoH in the future, I would have no problem returning the favor. Because really Dave is the only person I would want to put up in this house, so I would certainly put Will up as a pawn or whatever. I think that handling it maturely and all that though gained some brownie points from him though and so hopefully we can move forward.

Then comes the veto, and obviously I am going for it full throttle. It's the only way to guarantee my safety. I did pretty good at this challenge in WZ2 so I was optimistic. I feel good about how I did with it this time. I had several people to consult with, but for the most part I did it by myself and didn't want to let too much on to anyone else. I want the win for me so I am not going to spill much. I believe I found every single word and just didn't submit one that I wasn't sure on, but maybe there are some really obscure ones, but by the sounds of what I've heard from others, I think I got pretty much all of them. And then there is one word that I think others all think they have, but really got it wrong, while I got it right, so I think that could be a big boost for me. I just want to see results ASAP and hopefully I won it, and if not hopefully it all works out and I can come off the block thanks to someone else.

VETO

GOD DAMMIT. WHY DID DAVE HAVE TO WIN THE VETO. I HATE SECOND PLACE UGGHHHH.

When I found out, I pretty much thought I would be out since Natalie also won. She will obviously take Renny down. So it came down to if Dave would save Jess or not. Unfortunately, I definitely think I had a better chance if she stayed up there than if I were up against any of the other sinners. In the end he didn't. So now it's final, one of me and Jess is goin' real quick here.

Immediately the votes I knew I would have would be Renny, Natalie and Jason. Renny and Nat just want Jess out so bad, plus I am good with them. We have an official alliance now I think. And Jason I trust completely that he is sticking by me. I felt good about getting Sarah's vote. I did need to talk to her but it was not hard to lock up and I feel good about where me and her are at. Then there is James and Jun who I am cool with but really don't talk to all that much. They were both easy swings though too. I def think James voted in my favor, but I don't trust Jun completely, but I have to bank on her vote. With those six it is a tie at worst and I am pretty sure Will will keep me. He has gone back on his word before though, so I'd still be nervous. I talked to him though and assured him that I have no ill feelings towards him and will still work with him. If he were to vote to keep me, I certainly would. I wanted to get Lydia's vote too though. I guess at first I didn't have it. Then I talked to her and she seemed to swing my way. I keep hearing conflicting reports though so I don't think I got it. She said it seemed like I was safe so I hope she just goes with the flow. We flirted a bit and talked about a winners alliance so I really hope she comes through. I know Jess had been working her hard already though. So I think it'll be a tie and it'll come down to Will. I tried to get Rachel's vote to make it too but she is just being a fucking fake slut. She tried to play me and then ugh, she was never going to keep me. I wanted SOOOO bad to tell her that Eddie and Jess are biffs again and they are playing her, but I just couldn't sink that low. Not with Jessica. That totally could have sealed the deal though because Rachel totally thinks they aren't together at all and that Jessica will be loyal to her. We shall see.

EVICTION

It did end up being a tie, so no real surprises. Will came online soon after and I talked to him real quick and he assured me that he would definitely still be voting for Jessica so I was relieved. I couldn't help but be paranoid. It sucks that Jessica has to be the casualty of this, for me to stay in the game, but I was no way going to just roll over and let myself be voted out first when she was the reason I was on the block, so really I do not feel bad about working hard for votes against her. I feel like I am still going to be a target and will be the whole game, but hopefully without her now I have a little bit more room to move and can work it out. NOT THE FIRST BOOT! YAY!
