~ Episode 1 ~
Well, as I guessed, I am a saint. No surprise with the division of the houses. Dave was the only one I wasn't really sure about. The twist makes this game pretty tough but I am hoping this season Sheila doesn't run away with ALL the challenges. I love her and everything but it's really no fun when someone wins that much. I was really hoping Jeff would be in this game since he was amazing in competitions season 3. Oh well, I guess he's a jerk so it's probably just as well. Anyway, the baby blue sucks - I'd rather be red, but w/e. Hopefully there's a twist where we can switch houses because I'd feel much safer with Sheila in MY house....oh I know! You can switch Sheila every other round. That's only fair - let both sides benefit from her challenge skills.
I did a little pre-game socializing but not that much. The two new people I was looking forward to playing with are Dave and Eddie. I know Dave from a game of mine he played and Eddie was my biggest fan season 2, lol. He sent me banner planes. <333 Lydia seems sweet and I like her. I have a feeling she can hold her own, though. She did win, after all. Nathan is a big challenge help to our side but his head didn't seem to be in it tonight. I'm hoping hosting Mixed Game All-Stars doesn't leave us without his help in challenges. We definitely need all the help we can get in this house.
Tonight I started a chat for the challenge and I just started inviting names on the tabs I had open - people I had been talking to on AIM. So the chat consisted of me, Jason, Will, Nathan and Lydia. Renny and Dave weren't on at the time and Jessica was on away and I figured someone else would invite her. Later I heard she thought I did it on purpose. I didn't...I just didn't go out of my way to include her. I figured Nathan could do it. We talked and both said we aren't after each other and don't hate each other. Well, I mean that - I don't hate her...and I wouldn't go after her if I trusted her not to go after me. But I don't. I would like to see her out of the game because she has a way with Nathan and Sheila. If she stays I want to try to alleviate the threat of her targeting me, though. And also of her getting Nathan to target me. She's expendable to me in this game. Nothing personal, really.
Five us us worked together on this HOH in a chat....but of course Sheila's side was too fast for us. Then Seb gives Will - and Me - the finished maze. Will submitted before me and then posted in the chatroom. Will and I thought at least he might win HOH. Nathan made a mistake and had to go back and post in all the boards so that let him out. Then, the drama erupted on the Sinners' side. Apparently someone ratted Natalie out - my guess is Jason since he is basically Sheila's little bitch. Sheila and Chelsia went off on Natalie in their chat and she was threatened that she would be put up if they lost. That didn't happen, though and Will did indeed win HOH. Now the real drama ensues. Who to put up? With this crazy twist it is HARD. Sheila gets to make her own nom so Will has to take that into consideration when making his. She told him if he didn't put Dave up she would. So, I say let her. He wants Jess out - as do I - but the risk was that Sheila would remove her. Jason and Jess was an option but putting up Jason pisses off Sheila more - and Will thought maybe she'd retaliate by putting me up if he did that. OMG why am I punished? LOL I'm not the HOH. SHE better not take it out on me!
So, looks like the noms will be Jess and Nathan. Will (and I) really want Jess out and putting Nathan up ensures he won't save her with veto. That means Sheila will put Dave up and hopefully he can save himself - he's pretty good at challenges when he needs to be. Either way, Nathan or Dave would be the two most likely to win and they would save themselves, Will could put up Jason and then Sheila has to choose between Jason and Jess to save. The only problem would be if Sheila wins POV for Jason - which is entirely possible. He would then save Jessica (would he? lol idk) if he's doing what Sheila wants....it's worth a try, though. And I admire Will for not just doing what everyone else wants. There really is no perfect decision this week for poor Will. Sheila is going to fuck it up no matter what.
