(Just so you know, I'll be away at my cottage with family+friends from Friday evening until sometime Sunday, so I'll be unavailable during that time.)
With everything having wound down a little, I'd say this has been a pretty all over the place, exciting, and enlightening round. I'm not just talking about my house either. Matt and Mike winning BOTB and Sofia Vetoing Neda were both things that came a bit out of left field (Sofia using the Veto not as much), and seemed like a bit in the way of eye-openers, as is Drew being the replacement nominee for House 1. Initially I thought Keith being the replacement nominee for Christine was a bit surprising, but with all this talk of him being close to Ash, I'm not so sure.
Speaking of Ash, he made a big scene about the idea of Keith being a replacement and totally ditched Ika for greener pastures. Not only that, but there's been some speculation among people that Christine won the POV as a result of shall we say..."questionable methods" that Ash may or may not be a part of. While I've seen and heard enough to fully understand why people think that, it's not my place to make a big deal about it, demand action be taken, and make accusations. Regardless of what I may think, or may have wished happened, it didn't, and all me going on about it on the board or over AIM is going to do is reflect negatively on me. That's not really something I need considering me being away for a bit.
Ika's going because Heather refuses to vote out Keith on account of being close with him (something Nicole informed me of on her way out), and of him being close with Ash. Pretty much to me, this makes it seem clear that in Ash's original Heaven plan, the 4 votes to get Heaven out were planned to be me(or Ash himself)/Christine/Ika/Keith. It also leads me to believe he figured he could get a 4th vote to go with Christine/Ika/Keith (possibly Heaven) easily enough. Apparently people really figure Drew is with Ash (which is possible) and that's why he's up and targeted, but Neda being Veto'd over Candice, and Zach saying he didn't plan to go against Sofia/Heaven/Ryan since they were targeting people he wanted out makes me wonder if the "U.N." is back together again. With how early it still is though, I'm mainly looking at things from an individual connections perspective. I learned my lesson on making a big group early.
