I spent the day helping Matt go through each evicted HG and let him know from my conversations with him what I think they'd talk like in the DR. It was really the only way to help him prepare for the HOH because I really want him to win it. I think I'm the most safe if he were to win HOH. I still feel like there is an 85% chance I'm getting nominated this round so I will try my best at winning the pov to make f4. If I can make f4 I feel I have a really good shot at getting to f3 and I feel like I can win part 1 or 2 of the HOH to get to part 3. The end is in sight, I just pray I can get there.
I had a talk with Zach (ill post it) where I pleaded my case on why I should stay this round. I felt having me in this game is a buffer for him between Nick. Nick is gonna cut Zach asap but he won't do that while I'm in the game. On the flipside, I told Zach that I'm more prone to go after Nick than him and if he wants Nick out, I'm the best shot he has without having to do it by himself. I feel like decent about this. I'm still going to try and kill the POV, I really want to win that. I can't finish the same placement I did in season 10. That's just upsetting. I'm not going to go down without a fight. I'll be trying every angle I can to stay in this game. 72 days in this game, I'm not going to just lay down and die.
Boog Roe (01:41:08): I feel like there is a good chance of me going on the block but I was just wondering where your head was at
Zach Rance (01:40:45):
for my initial noms yeah im pretty set
Zach Rance (01:40:54):
it depends on veto again
Boog Roe (01:42:06): am i the target this round?
Zach Rance (01:41:48):
idk if its better for my game if u or matt left. i can only play veto next round and then if nick is hoh i see u wanting to evict me
Boog Roe (01:44:19): do u want nick in f3? i feel like he's your biggest comp of a jury threat and idk if there was any truth in his campaign to neda about getting u out or not
Zach Rance (01:44:28):
well regardless i dont want him gone this round , he is a big target for next round and the round after too
Boog Roe (01:46:25): he doesnt have to go this round but if i stayed, im probably the best shot at him not winning the next HOH and then u win the veto and even if i won the veto, i wouldnt be taking u out id take nick out
Zach Rance (01:46:17):
just the scenario i leave is if
Zach Rance (01:46:21):
nicks hoh and ur pov
Boog Roe (01:49:03): u keep me i keep u, im a loyal person. plus if i took u out at f4 and f3 was me/nick/nedaormatt im not getting to f2 unless i win that final HOH. on the other hand u me nick f3 i feel like my chances of making f2 are strangely better
Zach Rance (01:49:33):
well true i guess if u were even in the f4 it would have to be because i kept u
Zach Rance (01:49:37):
unless u win the veto
Boog Roe (01:52:23): ik candice was leaving, neda told me she was evicting her and i could have been like sry girl i dont wanna be in minority so imma keep matt but the loyal player in me was like no u cant turn ur back on someone like that. and exactly if i made f4 its gonna be bcz u kept me here
Zach Rance (01:51:57):
mhm
Boog Roe (01:52:46): and i feel like its ur better move to keep me til f4
Boog Roe (01:52:54): if nick is gonna target u its not until im gone
Zach Rance (01:52:21):
i dont know if ppl see me as a clear winner or not based on candices video but for what reason?? i have 2 friends on the jury. jury management is key
Zach Rance (01:52:25):
yeah
Boog Roe (01:53:52): i dont know either, thats her opinion and maybe she said that to get ppl to go after u or something?? idk
Boog Roe (01:54:08): but i do feel like u and nick would be competing over the same votes in the end
Zach Rance (01:53:39):
thats why i didnt like her video
Zach Rance (01:53:43):
ya
Zach Rance (01:53:56):
nicks been my ally all game but i know the type of player he can be especially torwards the end of games
Boog Roe (01:55:51): ive never played with him before but i just get that sense of what kind of player he is
Zach Rance (01:55:59):
like he;d take a for sure win
Zach Rance (01:56:00):
id think
Zach Rance (01:56:06):
rather than a loyalty one
Boog Roe (01:56:53): definitely
Zach Rance (01:56:11):
depends on the game maybe
Zach Rance (01:56:15):
but thats my impression
Boog Roe (01:57:20): in an allstars game i think he would def take the for sure win, even with the g0 mess
Zach Rance (01:57:18):
i have to assume so regardless
Boog Roe (01:58:45): u can also like force him to pick a loyalty one by taking out those deemed as for sure wins but idk if u want to do that or not
I am going to take a shower and let my computer charge. I should be back in like 30 minutes and then I'll be free to do the POV with whoever is available.
Did the veto. im like 60% confident in how I did. I know I have for sure 1 mistake ugh. Just hoping I was fast enough on my correct ones that I got the veto. I don't want to come in 5th
I'm going to go approach Zach and just tell him to be honest with me if he will evict Matt over me. If he tells me that he is wont keep me, I'll get messy and go to Nick for a vote. I'm definitely not going to lay down and die.
Had a chat with Nick. He told me coming into the skype call he felt he was going to evict me. I basically told him if he wants a shot at the game, he needs to take out Zach and I'm more of a help to take Zach out. If he can get Zach out, it definitely opens up the door for him to be able to win because right now he is looking at second place with very few jury votes. He needs to make a move and if keeping me is that move that helps him win, I'm all for it. I don't want to leave.
My gut says he will evict me unfortunately.
He wants to talk to Neda tomorrow so if I can get her to really push that Zach is gonna steamroll without me maybe that will change his mind. I'm gonna go pray now or something
I'm going to prepare a goodbye speech regardless, it will be more pleasant than the one I wrote at f12 when Keith left. That one was harsh lol.
sitting here waiting for a) nick to tell me whether im getting evicted or not and b) for the eviction itself is driving my anxiety up the wall. I don't know if neda has had a chance to talk to nick yet but the longer i sit here and wait the more and more nervous I get, and I also just feel like the longer I wait the more of a chance Nick will evict me.
