Leaving Last Week
It was definitely a downer seeing Alex go. I mean, obviously it was good because Lydia stayed, but there are other people I would have much rather seen on the block.
HoH
I was totally annoyed with myself after the HoH competition this week. I was doing decently against Nathan, but on one particular turn, I didn’t realize that I was nearing a time limit, and the program made the move for me. And it was like the worst possible move. -_- Oh well. Not like I’m used to winning anything
.
Nathan winning was NOT GOOD. It totally ensured that Eddie would be on the line. That was like 100% a given. I felt that what I had to do this week was to ensure that Lydia or I did not end up beside him. I started talking to Nathan more, and eventually I asked him if he and Renny wanted a final 4 deal with Lydia and me. I was actually pretty honest to him about a lot of things, like who brought up his name. Anyways, he was pretty clear about the fact tat Lydia and I shouldn’t worry about nominations.
Nominations
Eddie going up was a given. Jun going up I think was a betrayal, but it was not surprising. I feel bad for Jun, because she has been good to me in this game and I am totally gonna drop her, but its against Eddie. Lydia and Eddie are just two people that I WILL NOT vote against. If they are up beside eachother, then that will suck, but hopefully that won’t happen.
There is a part that of this week that I actually feel bad about. To avoid suspicion I needed to let Jun think this week that I would keep her – if everyone had a full week to speculate on my keeping Eddie, maybe they would start putting pieces together. When I vote her out, she will have no idea why… this whole thing looks so unnecessary. But the thing is, if people linked up Lydia, myself and Eddie then it is very likely that Eddie would be the one leaving tonight, so it was actually pretty crucial that I lie.
Veto
I was really annoyed with myself at the veto challenge, because right after my allies got eliminated first, I totally dropped the ball. Apparantly I cannot follow instructions. Hells Angels were the first three out… great. Nathan winning was not the worst thing that could have happened (that would be Jun winning), but it made for a nerve-wracking situation.
The one good thing I think I did, was that at one point, Jun asked me what I on an answer – she told me she thought the answer was James, and I said ‘I dunno, I think so?’ even though I knew it was Chelsia. I don’t want to take credit where it isn’t due, she was on the wrong path anyways, but had I helped her that round then maybe she wins the veto. That would likely ensure that Eddie leaves, and maybe that Lyd or I end up beside him.
Nathan winning was alright, because he left the nominations the same, and Eddie can survive the vote against Jun.
However, he did annoy the hell out of me at the end of this week. Earlier, I kinda went out on a limb for him explaining that he was at risk, and what does he do? He tells Will that I was pushing a little for Will to go up. Yes it was true that I was pushing for that, but… dude, wtf? Will IS gonna come after you. What I told you is the TRUTH. He knows that you are a threat and would never want to go to final 2 with you. I would have been willing to stick my neck out for you a little bit, but after pulling this shit? Hell no!
Last Minute Scrambling
Well Jun is actually a pretty good scrambler. She went through all the motions with me, first trying to guilt me into it, then trying to rationalize me into it. And the thing is, all of the points she’s making are valid when you consider the amount of information she has. I don’t think she has a clue that I am tight with Eddie, so this just seems like flat out betrayal to her, but unfortunately its gotta stay that way or else Eddie might go home.
I am like 99% sure that Eddie is staying through this round. I made a deal with Sarah and Will that I would vote to keep him, and I think at worst, Sarah will follow through. Maybe Will would flop, but I really doubt it.
Chi Chi is clearly gonna be pissed about this vote, but I gotta do what I gotta do. If I don’t vote out Chi Chi now, I lose Eddie, and that would suck SO much. She is right about a lot though, and there is a very large chance I am heading out the door after her.
Honestly, leaving this week, I am feeling VERY vulnerable. I know we need HoH badly, and that if I do not get it, I might leave. In fact, I think I am in the worst position of everyone in the house. There is a big chance that Sarah will use her power on me and I will go home automatically. Great…
