Week 7 Diary Room

[Mike Dutz]

Well, I guess now I won't need to worry about hurting my relationship with Hayley. I did my part and voted to keep Hayley the last couple times she was nominated. I stayed true to my friend.  That is all that matters.

My analysis thing I promised to do will get done at some point today.  The game is going to be interesting!

[Mike Dutz]

Alright, so we're at the Final 14. It is amazing to have gotten this far and survived each phase of the game. Houses, BotB, Partners. We've had some of the best twists that we've seen in the series thrown at us so far and it feel great to have survived through each of those phases.

The dynamics between the remaining contestants are really interesting. I feel like I learned a ton last round.

Candice and Neda are clearly close. I think we've seen hints of this in the past but this round kind of made me realize it is true.  I think it is a very similar situation that Matt and I have. They found themselves on the block together early on and probably bonded over that.  And then they ended up being partners in the partner phase of the game.  So they've spent a lot of time bonded together during the game.  I feel like they are both close to Boog/Heather.  That scares me.  I have good relations with them.  Neda moreso than Candice.  But Candice and I are on the same page about getting the trio people out I'm pretty sure so I can at least pitch those people to her if she wins HoH.

Boog and Heather, I believe are close.  I don't like either of them and Heather is proving to be the biggest liar in the game.  She lied about me to people.  She lied to Sofia.  She lied to Hayley and Rachelle.  She lied about Matt to Keith.  Her word means nothing.  She's awful and needs to gtfo.

Keith is in a pretty good position in the game.  He is good with Boog and Heather, I'm pretty sure.  Heather especially because he got offended when I badmouthed Heather to him.  Oops.  Oh well.  I don't think the trio would really be after him either so he's good there.  Yesterday he told me Matt, Candice, Neda, Brian never speak with him.  So I know who he isn't close to.  I think I have a decent relation with him though.

Sofia will have her sights set on a few other people before me right now which is great.  We agreed not to go after one another.

Nick is someone I need to catch on AIM soon.  He hasn't helped me in this game since I kept him over Brittany and I want to confront him about it.  I don't plan on being rude but I need to get to the bottom of this right away. He promised that he would help take out the trio if we kept him and he did not keep true to that promise this round.  It really pisses me off.

Memphis and I were very close in Shadow AS3 and I think we have a decent relationship here but I don't know that I would be safe if he won HoH.  I also don't trust him enough to invite him into my alliance that formed this round.

Brodown Showdown (or Suicide Squad depending who you ask) - Myself and Matt (F2) are teaming up with Zach and Brian to form an alliance of 4.  I trust all these guys a lot and would love for us to make it all the way to the F4 together.  Possible that Zach has other deals (Brian also) but I'm hoping they choose this alliance at the end of the day.

Heaven and Ryan are two I wish would have been evicted by now.  I haven't spoken to either of them during this game.  I know they would be after me if they win HoH.  I am very scared that they could win this round and I could be evicted.

So that is how I see things right now.  I definitely feel good about certain people winning HoH. I feel okay about others.  I feel scared if a few win HoH.  And I think at this point everyone feels that way.  It definitely feels like the game is further along than F14 because we started with 27 an we've played for 6 rounds. That is 6 rounds of wheeling and dealing between people.  The game is on in full force!  Just have to see how it plays out.

lol my alliance and I spoke about this being a potential Blackout week this round. Hate that it actually is.

[Mike Dutz]

I am guessing Sofia won. Good job her. Let's get that liar Heather out.

Ahhhh I got picked to play in the veto. I am super excited. I need to check out the example when I get home.

I must win this veto and save Zach! Wheeeee
