Week 2 Diary Room

[Mike Dutz]

Alright, so last round went off almost entirely how I wanted it to. Danielle left, that was awesome. Luisa left, awesome! Casey left, boo I would have liked to see Christopher leave. Replacement to a replacement. Like get the hell out of here already.

The HoH this round was right in my ballpark.  Sadly, I wasn't able to take the reigns.  Ending up in house 2 left me with mixed feelings.  As we all know by now, I pushed the button again.

I wasn't going to.  I told Zach that I was staying put.  I felt good about Zach being HoH and I felt good about being with Memphis, Rachelle, and Neda.  The more I thought about it though, the worse I started to feel about the house.  I didn't want to risk being put into House 3.  That was a scary possibility for me.  I mean, I feel okay about some of the people over there but then there are people over there like Ash and Heaven.  Christine may have heard I wanted her up last time.  It just could have been a very bad situation for me.

So it was like...do I risk it?  Do I stay put?

Staying put was a risk.  Zach could have been telling me what I wanted to hear in order to get me to stay.  He told me I wasn't going to be a target of his even though we hadn't spoken much.  I'm sorry, but that last part of that doesn't instill confidence that I'll be kept safe.  He also said he has kept in touch with Sofia and wouldn't be putting her up pre-veto.  Not good news to me that she'd be kept safe before the veto, meaning she'd potentially be safe post-veto as well.  Then you have to factor in that Ika is telling me this morning that she's happy with Zach as HoH.  You can bet Neda will be happy with him as HoH.  And Zach just kept Christopher in the last vote.  Okay so that leaves like what, myself, Memphis, and Rachelle.  If I stayed and found myself on the block at the end of the week against Memphis or Rachelle then I'd surely be evicted.  Christopher, Sofia, and likely Ika or even Neda would evict me.

Just not worth the risk.  I pushed the button and hoped for the best and it paid off.  I'm with Drew who will not nominate me.  I'm also with Brittany, Brian, and Hayley.  Three people I really like in this game and enjoy talking to and working with.

I know I'm going to be a target in this game, everyone will be at some point.  If I can make it a little further the target on my back may get smaller in size but right now I'm having to make these moves.  I'm being forced to push the button based on who I'm ending up with.

I feel awful ditching Memphis and Rachelle but I don't have any official alliances and until I do, I do not owe anything to anyone.

Sent apologies out to Memphis and Rachelle for ditching and explained my reasons. Memphis replied and seems to understand. Rachelle *shrug* I wasn't even that close to her yet. But I do want that door to remain open for the future.

The veto results this round were jawdropping. Of course every single threat wins veto this round. This will be a problem round after round until those three are evicted. Ryan was the target over here as far as I know. Now he's off the block. Drew is having a tough time with the replacement. He's not sure if he should just try and get rid of Nick or if he should put someone like Candice up and send her on her way. I don't know what his relationship with Candice is but I'm biased in wanting her out over Nick. Nick is someone I wanted to work with in Shadow AS but didn't have the opportunity to do so.  We got along good in Season 6 of this series and he's good with Hayley who I am also close with. I think we share a lot of the same targets so him leaving would be pretty shitty I feel.

Just waiting now to see what Drew decides.

This is an awful decision that I need to make this round. I'll sadly probably have to send Brittany home. Nick is more likely to win a challenge and that is something I need on my side. Besides, the majority of the house is probably evicting Brittany and I hear Drew wants Brittany out. Awesome, thanks for choosing to take out one of my allies Drew. So I don't have much of a choice. I need to do what potentially helps me the most next round. RIP Brittany
