I suppose I should let you guys know what has been going on this round.
So before Drew left last round he let me know that I should go to Matt and Mike. That he was really close to them and felt they were alone and would be good allies for me to have going forward. I didn't think much of that because I was a little peeved with Matt for avoiding voting the round prior and I hadn't talked much to Mike.
Well... apparently that didn't matter because soon afterwards Matt came to me with an alliance offer. He wanted to get a solid one together this round. So now I have an alliance called The Justice League with Shilpa, Matt and Mike. I'm not sure how confident I feel in the alliance, but I like it enough and plan on staying loyal to it.
We didn't get much of a chance to talk nominations with Mike this round. I don't hate his nominations, though. I kind of hope both Candice and Ash throw the BOTB so Mike stays in power and hopefully we can send Sofia/Heaven/Ryan home this week. I'm not entirely sure if that's the plan, though.
I'm a little nervous for what exactly Sofia's plans are. I could see her potentially wanting to backdoor me, so that has me a little worried. I just hope Hayley and Neda can pull out a win, but I'm not too confident they will.
Not super confident in my time for the POV this week. I ended up getting kind of lost in the maze for a bit. I think I could very well have reduced my time by a few minutes no problem... and with both Ryan and Sofia competing this round it really worries me.
If somehow miraculously I do win POV there is no way I would use it. I love Neda and Hayley, but I feel like someone like Boog could be a replacement nominee and I'd rather not risk losing someone who is a closer ally.
Not only that, but it seems as though I could very well be a backdoor option this week... although, I'm never sure if it's a true backdoor if the target plays in veto. I don't think it is... maybe that's a matter of opinion.
Anyways, I think I could get the votes. It would be difficult to do, but I think I could manage. I'd probably have a bit of an easier time against Hayley though oddly enough. Honestly, I don't want to be up against either one. If I can somehow manage to stay off the block I would be elated.
This is so bad and just goes to show you how terrible my social game has been... but this is only the second time I've talked to Ryan and the first time we've ever been able to talk game. It's not that I'm anti-social by any means, I think he's busy and so am I and we just never end up getting online at the same time.
Anyways, I had a conversation with him about his intentions. He told me he plans on using the veto. I didn't ask who, honestly it doesn't matter to me... all that matters is who would be the replacement nominee. He said that he doubts I would be the replacement nominee which kind of makes me have some hope.
I told him about how I felt bad for targeting Heaven with my HOH and how I felt like people always seemed to want to voice their opinion on who should be nominated and me coming into the game without pre-existing relationships like everyone else it seemed that him, Heaven and Sofia were powerhouses and all three were working together. I basically sold everyone else under the bus... without giving names. Which is true to an extent. I knew about other relationships, but it did seem like Ryan/Sofia/Heaven were the powerhouse that needed to be split up. At the end of the day it was my decision, but other people did seem to be pushing for that to happen.
Anyways, fingers crossed I got threw a little bit to Ryan. I honestly have no qualms with them going forward. As scary as they are it's better at this point for me to work with them than to be constantly at the end of a losing battle.
Neda always seems to know what's going on. I like being able to use her for information because she's basically being used as a pawn each round of the BOTB in order for them to take out who they want. So it sounds as though the plan right now is to take out Shilpa this week. My name is also being thrown around, but last they heard it wasn't going to be me. While Shilpa's not my favourite option to go up, I will say that I'd rather it not be me... so essentially it's just the lesser of two evils. I'm hoping to get the chance to talk to Sofia. I don't want to rock the boat too much, but I just want to make sure she's aware I'm not coming after her. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to stay off the block tbh.
People are suspecting next round will be a duos round, which makes sense if we're doing all of the twists from prior seasons. I don't know which twist is worse... duos or BOTB. lol
So Sofia basically threatened me... in a matter of speaking. She propositioned it in a way that I'd be going up on the block if I denied her request. Well, I have news for you sweetheart... you may be amazing at challenges and scary as hell, but I do not respond well to threats. And if you ask me someone who was just about to put you up on the block is not a very good ally to have going forward. I'd be a fool to trust anyone like that.
So now I'm trying to go about keeping Shilpa, but in a very low key way. I don't know who to trust or who would repeat the information to the trio. Honestly, I think no matter what happens I'm screwed anyways when it comes to the trio. But at least I'm willing to make a move against them and not playing coward. Ash seems to want to retreat and join forces with the trio. I don't think that's a wise decision.
Anyways, this has been an eventful evening... once again I am ready for this week to be over. All-Stars is turning out to be more of a challenge than I once thought it would be and I seem to be painting myself a bigger target each week.
hartattackbb I don't really think I have the luxury of having much of an opinion on this right now, and if I did, I don't think people would care or that it'd matter in the big picture right now
Pretty sure Shilpa doesn't have the votes to stay. I probably screwed over my game by telling Rachelle I was going to keep her, but oh well. I'm just going to deny, deny, deny if the trio asks. It sounds like Boog is probably changing her vote, and the votes of Candice and Neda that Shilpa thought she had aren't even there. It's almost better for me if it isn't a close vote because then some of the others that were sketchy about their vote could very well have voted to keep Shilpa and I can still claim innocence.
