I was so excited to find out Hayley and I tied for the win in this week's HOH, but my hopes were dashed when I found out who actually won. I was sort of half expecting to be nominated, but Heaven said she was done with nominating each other and said her last nomination was "an eye for an eye"... Zach last round said that he wasn't after me at all. So I'm left a little baffled here. Zach totally copped out on these nominations, though. He told me that Heaven nominated who he wanted and he nominated who Heaven wanted... so basically one of them isn't good to their word.
And to use the excuse that I went against Sofia's wishes last week is totally bull! First of all, one of my best friends in the game was nominated. Second of all, if I didn't agree I felt like I was being nominated. My back was up against the wall.
Anyways, maybe somehow I can manage to stay this week... it'll take a miracle but I have faith!
It's just SO ANNOYING! I understand it's my fault for nominating one member of the trio and lying to another... but whatever. At least I have the lady balls to stand up to them.
Anyways, time to roll up my sleeves and get to work on getting those votes. I really potentially think I can get them this week.
People who won't vote for me: Matt, Boog, Heather, Mike
People who I'm pretty sure won't vote for me: Keith, Neda, Candice, Brian
People who might not vote for me: Memphis, Nick
People who will vote for me: Sofia, Ryan
There's potential here. The nice thing is I just have to campaign for people NOT to vote for me... I don't care who leaves, but obviously I'd rather Hayley stay. I love her and I think I can work with her going forward. I like Ash, but he's kind of a lost cause. Rachelle I'm not a fan of in this game... she never talks to me, and when she does it's always really condescending.
Already starting to campaign, and already starting to feel like this is a losing battle.
Someone I thought for SURE wouldn't vote for me... Mike... is talking as if my days are numbered. That's not a good sign at all. But people also haven't been around to start talking about the votes and the veto ceremony hasn't even been posted yet. Maybe that'll start generating talk and people will be more inclined to fight for me to stay.
Still not feeling super optimistic about my chances, though.
To think I was diluted enough to think I could get the votes to stay... these people are sheep.
They're all waiting and buying their time until the most opportune moment to make their move against the trio. I say it's never too early! Not to mention, going against the trio's wishes isn't going to make you a target... pretty sure they already know who is against them anyways. Why not keep the target on me?
Nobody wants to go against the grain! I understand it's "smart" gameplay to play under the radar, but it's also incredibly annoying gameplay.
As of now Keith told me he's voting for Rachelle/Ash...
Candice told me she wants to vote against Ash/Hayley... I asked her if she'd be open to voting for Rachelle instead of Hayley and she said she'd have to think about it (girl, she put you up!)...
Boog told me she wants to vote against Ash/Hayley...
Heather kind of said she'd vote for Ash/Rachelle if the votes are there (ugh!)...
Mike told me he doesn't think the votes are there, but he didn't seem completely opposed to the idea of keeping me...
Matt said he wanted to remain loyal to me so if the votes were there he'd keep me...
Brian is being his usual annoying self and not saying much of anything, so that probably means he's a lost cause...
Nobody wants to stick their neck out for me in this game, even after I stuck my neck out for one of my closest allies. It's just sad to see people play this way. There is no sense of right or wrong, these game brings out the selfishness in people... and apparently this game is bringing out the bitchiness in me! lol
I hate campaigning. Makes me feel like I'm being so annoying...
It basically goes like this:
Christine: So here are some points that you've probably already though of... keep me! Person: Oooh, yeah I'll definitely think about it. I want to see where the house sits first. Christine: Here's another point on why you should keep me... Christine: Here's another point on why you should keep me... Christine: Please keep me! Christine: Hello? Christine: Are you still there? Christine: Okay, well just let me know what you're thinking...
*gives up and tries again later...*
And with 18 of us still in the game it feels pretty impossible to get everyone on the same page. I guess this is why blindsides are hard to coordinate in Big Brother in the early stages of the game.
Well, I'm definitely leaving this round... Back to back to back to back to back to back S9 evictions. Whoever started the S9 alliance rumours is dead to me!
I'm sorry I couldn't have had more interesting insight to share in my DR's. I don't think my social game was AMAZING by any means, but I also feel like a lot of people were relying on former relationships this season. That's not a complaint, just a general observation.
I hope you at least enjoyed my massive face palm as I tried to take on the most powerful alliance RNF has ever seen. If nothing else at least I'll be noted for TRYING to take on the giant.
Also, if my suspicions are correct and there IS a returning player after next round... you better believe I'm coming out guns a blazing!
