Ladies and Gentleman! Welcome the the first non-lulzy Casey DR post!
I just wanted to point out that this week I had like the worst luck EVER. I mean, out of the 27 people in the game the person I would want to win the absolute least ended up winning HoH. I honestly feel like I might have been fine if basically any other player won HoH this round. But it HAD to be fucking Nicole. The girl who took me out last allstars, and the girl who is about as interesting to talk to as a dead fish.
As soon as I saw she won, I knew I was *completely* going on the block and that there was basically nothing I could do about it. When she wants to nominate someone she doesn't even bother to interact with them. Which is annoying and IMO a little cowardly. The most frustrating part of the whole thing is that I was super understanding and tried to explain to her that there are no hard feelings and that I would like to get to know her and she didn't even respond to me (despite the fact that I knew she was there and responding to other people). That kinda bullshit *really* makes me dislike someone and I got pretty upset about it last night.
It probably also didn't help that I had a few Margaritas in my system because I had a reuinion with a friend after 5 years apart but still, HOW RUDE NICOLD (that was actually originally a typo but I kinda realized it perfectly fit for how she has been treating me so I decided to keep it in there).
And then Rachelle wins veto. Which also sucks because I know there was no way she'd use it on me. In fact, I don't think that anyone would have used it on me except maybe Shilpa.
But truth be told, I'm not that afraid of being nominated this round against Chris. I am pretty tight with Nick, Shilpa, Zach and Candice. I would frankly be shocked if any of them were willing to evict me this round. It does ~really~ suck to be up against Chris though cuz he's a really good friend and I don't want him to leave.
Welp lol @ that previous confessional because apparently Tricks and Shadow don't feel I talk to them enough and assume that I am prioritizing others over them. When in reality I haven't been talking to them that much because I already know both really well and I need to get to know the people in the game that I haven't met already. The most frustrating part of it is that neither have made an effort to talk to me or even expressed to me their concerns before they decided to cast me aside. I am the one who is in jeopardy, not them, so I don't know why they would think that because I have to focus on securing my safety in the game that it would mean I'm not interested in talking to them.
Both are dumb but Tricks is ESPECIALLY dumb because he is taking out someone who would legitimately have his back for someone who will prioritize like 5 or 6 people before him. And there is no way that Tricks is going to have the support of Shilpa/Heather after this so he is cutting off three allies for the sake of one that won't even have his back in the long run. THIS is why Tricks does notoriously bad in games.
With Shadz I can KINDOF see his rationale. He doesn't really give a fuck about me and he has tons of other options available to him if we wants to go far. But this is the third time Shadz has decided to take me out of this series and I have never in the entirety of any game I've played with him made a move against him. Prior to this game he was all 'this game will be different than last game and we're starting fresh' and then he immediately targets me AGAIN. He's trying to blame it on Nicole and that is so fucking transparent. Its almost as obnoxious as he is.
This game has turned into such a negative experience for me. Seriously, fuck both of them.
And the worst part is that none of the potential votes to keep me are signing onto AIM today. So even though I think I have a good case for why I think I should stay, I can't even present it to them.
I don't even remember the last time I was this upset by a turn of events in an ORG. Normally being eliminated isn't that big of a deal to me but being turned on by those two this early in the game just makes me feel so shitty. It's like I don't even really know if I want to fight to stay because then I'm just gonna have to keep on playing with them and that's like the last thing I want to do right now.
I probably still will try to fight and stay but I just feel so resigned about this whole thing.
