Group chat with the sixsome is finally happening right now. I'm shocked that all six of us managed to get online at the same time tbh, the trio are still really hard to get ahold of. The six of us have been basically playing day long games of telephone up to now so I went ahead and made the group because it was getting silly
The chat is going well so far. We decided on a shitty/corny name that I came up with. Zach wanted Big Hero 6, I suggested Sinister Six (group of Marvel supervillains). Me/Sofia/Rachelle were excited to be villains. Zach wanted desperately to be a hero and Heaven/Ryan are more heroic too, the split is amusing. BUT I guess we're Sinister Six now so there's that
Our convos are going well so far, we're all on the same page for this round at least. Several of them wanted Christine at the start of the week, but Zach and I wanted Shilpa and started floating her name out there with Rachelle. Then it spread to Sofia/Ryan/Heaven and now today it's a full fledged plan. Shilpa's gonna go up and hopefully at that point going out
We're working on getting the votes but it might be close. The biggest downside to working with the trio is that everyone wants to go against them, so if Shilpa is their target then a lot of people should want to keep her and boot Hayley
Was gonna write more but McDonalds is calling goodbye
Getting Shilpa up there was just half the battle, the tougher part is getting votes. It's a bit of a mess right now but here's more or less where things are at:
Ash Christine Heather Keith Matt Mike
Candice Boog Brian
Heaven Memphis Neda Nick Rachelle Ryan Zach (Sofia)
Top row is evicting Hayley, bottom row is evicting Shilpa. Candice/Boog are leaning towards keeping Shilpa. Brian is leaning towards keeping Hayley and promised us he's evicting Shilpa
Working on Candice right now with Neda. As long as we have Brian then everything is good, but I want Candice too for insurance. Boog would likely come with her
It's messy right now. Shilpa's working on me but there's nothing she can really say. I made it pretty clear to her that I'm evicting her but that didn't stop anything. Told her straight up that we're really not on the same page this game and she's acting like she doesn't know why. HEY YOU KNOW WHY KNOCK IT OFF!
I talked to Shilpa when she was campaigning to me and basically just said we clearly aren't on the same page this game and there's been some serious trust lost in recent rounds, really since the beginning. Shilpa acted like she didn't know what I was talking about and just focused on having my back week two when I was on the block. I know she didn't trust me though and I definitely didn't trust her for shit at this point. She even said it was INFURIATING(!) to work with me in this game which amused me. I can see why, I've been so dodgy with her and clearly have had a different agenda. She's probably gonna be very anti-me in prejury but owell. Sometimes pregame friends aren't on the same page and it leads to this. It happens, not a big deal
I told Heather straight up that I was evicting Shilpa and she seemed really appreciative of it. She said everyone handled her with kids gloves once Shilpa went on the block and thanked me for being straightforward. I wanna build something with her going forward because she's a prominent figure on a faction of the house that I don't trust or have any deals with. She admitted to me last night that me evicting Shilpa was the right move for me. She said while Shilpa wasn't coming after me anytime soon, she didn't trust me and was still mad about the Casey vote
I'm glad to have moved on from the Shilpa/Candice stage of the game. It's been suuuuper distracting. I've been basically playing a little game within the bigger game and it was starting to distract me from the larger picture. Gotta refocus now and move on
Neda pulled me into a Skype call last night that had her, Candice, and Boog already in it. HMM! I know they're a trio already but it doesn't bother me, I'll be a +1 for the time being
There was literally no game talk but it was nice to know Boog a bit better, I've been wanting to work on that. But when the call ended and everyone was going to bed, Neda started to message me and wanted to have a serious talk. She told me she really trusts me and wanted to lock down a F2 with me and promised it wasn't the alcohol talking. We talked about how we were veryyy much on the same page with the Shilpa stuff and how silly Candice was being for wanting to keep Shilpa. I think Neda was going for a F2 with Candice but was turned off by that and liked that us two saw eye to eye on it. We both sent the black fist bump emoji to each other on snapchat so you know things are pretty serious
I trust her a lot right now. She seems to really trust me but made me swear on my firstborn that I won't embarrass her in this game or betray her or play her like a puppet. I promised her I wouldn't and I'm gonna try to keep it. She doesn't seem like the best person to cross, clearly
Zach's been my F2 from the start but I'm not gonna tell him about this. I'm praying I don't get myself in a position where I have to choose. Neda was upfront with me about her side deals and mentioned a trio with Candice/Boog/Her and a very tight deal with Boog and another with Candice I think. None of it was surprising. She already knows I'm tight with Zach so I mentioned him as one of my deals. Didn't tell her about Sinister Six
I reallyyyy gotta work harder on Ash and Christine. They'll either leave very soon or get into power very soon. I don't think I'd be first on their list if they do come into power but there's no telling what other deals the trio have made. I know they had this plan with Ash/Christine last round involving Ash not throwing BotB and they'd keep Christine safe etc. They told the group but its crossed my mind that maybe the deal extends beyond that, hard to say
I'm on vacation from now until Thursday. Tried to get Matt to do HoH last night when he was around but he said tonight instead. Got to my hotel a bit ago and the wifi isn't working. YIKES! Not gonna be able to do HoH because I'm stuck on my phone. Probably can't do veto either depending on what it is. Not good not good
