Fast Forward Round
I was in a state of absolute shock when it was revealed that this would be yet another double eviction week. I really thought that the final 7 would be the last ‘twist’ in this game. Does that make me naive? I think it does . Anyways, it certainly was not a twist that I was upset about – it just meant that things were going at a faster pace than I expected.
Shortly after that, I won HoH!!! FOR REAL!!! The best part was that I 100% earned that HoH by myself. I was the one who was providing our alliance with answers, so Eddie had no problem throwing the tiebreaking question to me. Winning HoH felt SO good. Although I was one of the people least at risk of leaving this week, having a completely guaranteed safety was an amazing feeling. And it is a feeling that I have not had in a LONG time.
Winning the competition also ensured that Hell’s Angels was gonna be 3 people of the final 4. Meaning that even if the worst case scenario plays out, we still have ONE of our members in the final 2. Booyah!
It took until the final 5 of this damn game, but I FINALLY got to make my own nominations. Will and Sarah were no-brainers. If I left one of them off the block, there was a chance that one would have saved the other, and a Hells Angel would end up evicted. So I made the obvious choices and kept my allies safe.
The veto was hilarious. Everyone still in the game threw it to Eddie, myself included. How ridiculous is that? Not only did 4 of Warzone’s final 5 feel confident enough to throw the veto, but they were willing to throw it to the SAME PERSON. Wow, just wow. In any other situation I would NEVER have considered throwing it, but it was different with Eddie – I trust Eddie immensely. I talk to him on a daily basis, and we have been in this together since very early on. I REALLY didn't think he would turn on me.
Even though I knew as I was throwing the challenge to him that he planned on saving Sarah, when Sarah was actually removed off the block and Lydia was replaced, there was a part of me that had a panic attack. I never felt as though Lydia was really in jeopardy, but it DID occur to me that strategically, it wouldn’t have hurt Eddie TOO much to get rid of Lydia at this point. Lydia leaving at final 5 would basically ensure that the following week would result in the house saying 'Sayonara Roddy' . BUT, that didn't happen, and both my allies survived yet another week .
When the verdict was in and Will was out, I felt as though a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders. Will leaving is GREAT. First off, I was really nervous about him being here because he was in my opinion, the most likely to win the damn thing. But beyond that, he was better than Sarah at competitions, and had a good head on his shoulders.
I am basically entering my dream final 4. 2 of my closest allies are here with me, and the other person is one of the least threatening players in this game. I guess I gotta just hope for the best…
