I figured I would make you guys a non-trolly confessional since things are starting to heat up. Shilpa leaving was a necessary evil and I'm happy it happened. She brought about negativity and really took the game too personally and vindictive for her to be a good ally. Right now me and Heather are both pretty obvious allies, but in the grand scheme of things we're not on any ones radar (I hope)
I feel like I'm in a good spot with Zach and Candice, and I don't really see many others trying to come after me & Memphis. Honestly Christine going was sad, because I like her. I voted to keep her because FUK votin with the house.
Boog: Nice and UTR. Possibly a good ally 4 later. Close with Candice Brian: h8 him. so spineless and unaware Candice: sketchy but i know she means well Hayley: adorable Heather: playing the game 4 me, thx Heaven & Sofia: Being carried through the game because of the returnee twist Matt: guaranteed f4 Memphis: for some reason he is coming off a lot more incompetent than last time? he was horrible at the crossword until I left and then he finished it super quickly. then he claimed it took him an hour to make TWO rows today Mike: o forgot about him. Neda: annoying Nick: forgot about him too Rachelle: probably dislikes me because im the only one who evicted her Ryan: just there to win comps Zach: is gonna win
i dont really have a strategy, because right now its kinda dumb for me to target the trio. whoever gets evicted will just return so its pointless to even make enemies like that
I just kind of looked at the last 4-5 evictees and realized that I could easily sell them as all "close allies" of mine and that I'm pretty much a free agent outside of Heather. I feel like that's my best bet to start snuggling up to others, and I feel like at this point having more of a free-agent status is good because if two Trio members leave this round the target is going to shift.
I really wish Heather wouldn't have called Mike out in her nomination speech. I don't think he would've thrown it, but he wouldn't have felt the need to try so hard. Now there are two people who hate each other and are now united in ridding of Heather.
Her only move right now to mitigate her losses is to put up Zack/Heaven but she will absolutely pussy out. I'm worried because if someone comes after Heather they're going to put me up next to her, and at this point in the game I feel like I would leave over her. I need to start socializing to make sure that doesn't happen.
Heather seems convinced that Heaven/Ryan aren't going to go after her and that her relationship with Ryan is tight-knit. She's putting up Rachelle, which is fine because I've already evicted her, but I don't really feel super safe going into this next week.
I guess I would probably nominate Sofia & Heaven if I were to win, just to ensure that one of them went home.
last night was pretty hectic with trying to decide these votes. heather wants ryan to stay because he'll protect her and go after ~floaters~ or something like that. i originally agreed because it seems like we're not even halfway through this game.
i was under the impression that the alternative last night that the alternative to ryan going would be brian and I was fine with that, but this morning I found out that it's Hayley and I'm not so enthused. I don't like that people get to make their own decisions for who they want to leave but I'm not allowed to, and I have to go with the ~good of the group~. Zack decides Hayley needs to go, and he gets to evict Shilpa, Hayley, etc. and be fine.
So right now if I voted to evict Ryan I would simply be tying it. It would force Boog/Heather into a stale mate so I really need to make it clear to people this is the bare minimum that would happen.
If Hayley/Rachelle do leave I kind of feel like I'm going to be absolutely okay indefinitely but I'll also look like a snake/weasel/doormat and I don't want that either. It's tricky because I have no idea if we're at the halfway point or just third of the way to the end. If we merge at like 13/12 that's like...an entire other game of Big Brother to be played and I don't want to be there with all of these comp whores. I played a big part in pushing Rachelle to go with Candice/Neda and they bought into it, but I would really need to hold my own in terms of evicting Ryan if I don't want to look like a scheming opportunist.
And honestly, I don't care what these "big guns" have to say. I know that there is a mentality that I'm bad at comps, but if I can even the playing field I can actually PLAY Big Brother which I didn't feel like I could do in my original season.
If I evict Ryan, Sofia/Heaven will be after me but the target will stay on them, and the target will shift to Heather and Zack eventually. The largest thing with me evicting Ryan is that it buys me votes in case I'm up on the block against Heather. This is key because it's a likely scenario in the upcoming weeks.
Right now I am considering going to Heaven and seeing if she is willing to attempt to keep Hayley over Brian, and if she is, then evict Brian & Rachelle so Hayley and Ryan stay.
