I've also made it through college without any sort of substance addiction how is that surprising? lol
Apparently adderall is like, a thing with college students lol. I was confused when she asked me about meds, because I thought she couldn't possibly be asking me about medication?
Okay so earlier today, I said "screw it" and talked to Brian about an official alliance because it's just getting ridiculous now. When I brought up, he was like "well I already kind of figured we had one" ... BRIAN, YOU NEED TO COMMUNICATE THAT TO ME! But I think we're good and I'm glad it's at least out there and on the table. It's so weird though, he's HOH. Week 1 HOH is like, the prime position in the beginning to make alliances and deals to further yourself in the game. It's really a great tool in the beginning of games and I feel like he's just wasting it? I know in season 7, he was apart of a big alliance in the beginning that completely imploded on itself, so maybe he's just trying to avoid that. But you have to have SOME wiggle room, here!
Boog is coming off the block and I think Christine will probably go up? He's being tight lipped about his replacement too. I would prefer for Danielle to go up and out. I really want to try and keep Hayley this round. I don't want her to go but I also don't want to risk my game so early. I'm hoping she can try and make connections with the others. I mean, she's a sweetheart, how can you not love her?!
I'm worried about numbers, because nobody is talking alliances number-wise. The majority alliance could be forming without me, lol. But I don't know? I feel like I have good connections with Heather, Brittany, and to a lesser extent Mike and Boog - and I feel like they would tell me or want to include me in those alliances (especially Brittany and Heather). and I really doubt Christine or Danielle are leading the charge for the majority numbers in the house at this point.
Oh and totally not my house and I really don't know what's happening over there, but I hope Casey stays in house 3. I really enjoy talking to him and he's a really nice guy.
For someone I'm supposed to be "aligned" with, this has been the most exhausting round of RNF I've ever played (and yes that includes the plan.t incident of 2014). So Boog wins veto and she is obviously going to take herself off. She posts the ceremony early but Brian already went to bed. He talked about having an early day in the morning, so there was really nothing nobody could do because nobody knew who the replacement would be. He doesn't log on until later tonight - and he decides to IM me asking me for my opinion six minutes until the BB17 premiere Yeah, okay. Bother me while the show we've all been waiting for is finally on. Thanks. He wants names... so I tell him Danielle and Christine. Mostly because I never talk to Danielle and I said Christine because I know he wants to keep people he's played with, and he hasn't played with Christine.
So then I hear from multiple people that he's debating putting either myself or Christine on the block. Like, what the FUCK IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW? I feel stupid for defending him in my diary room before - I completely get why he is so annoying to play with. So he finally decides on Christine and he tells her she's going up. Then he changes his mind. But not to me, to Danielle. So he leaves Danielle an OFFLINE MESSAGE that he's putting her up. This is so ridiculous.
With the first HOH in ORGs, you're in a great power position. You can craft your ideal alliance and show them trust by not nominating them. You cut deals and get the numbers on your side for the following rounds. Brian didn't do ANY of that. The only thing that I think he may have done is create a season 7 alliance with Neda and Mike. And even that is a stretch because I know through Zach that Neda doesn't like him too much. Not only did he not form any strong alliances, he pissed off Boog, Hayley, Danielle, Christine, AND MYSELF. He doesn't know that I know that he was thinking of putting me up, so I'll keep that quiet for now. Brittany and Heather are not pleased with him as well - because trying to get information from him has been exhausting. This whole round with him as been EXHAUSTING AND TIRING. I just want to go to sleeeeeeep.
Thank you guys for the extension! I know I wasn't the one who asked for one lol but it totally works in my favor because I'm running on like 3 hours sleep and I'm so tired. So it's probably best to do it when I'm well rested tomorrow.
I think I did average-ish in the HOH. There were some points where my net was slow and like halfway during the challenge I had to get my laptop charger. I'm stupid and started the challenge without it plugged in, lmao. I don't know if my score is good enough to win. I also don't know if I messed up or not, I haven't gone back and checked. I could totally see myself pulling a RNF10 Boog and messing up early. So I guess i'll find out at results.
So Zach is HOH and I'm 100% safe and it's such a nice feeling after the last round with Brian. Zach told me last night he wanted to do Chris and Mike - but now he can't since Mike hit the button. To be honest, at first I was annoyed he hit the button but he really had every right to. He was going up this round. I got this PM from him just now:
Sorry I ditched. I really wasn't planning on ditching. The more I thought about it though, staying there was too risky for me.
Sofia wants my head. I haven't spoken to Christopher at all. Have hardly spoken to Ika.
Zach will be keeping Neda safe. He also told me that he doesn't plan on nominating Sofia. He said I wouldn't be his target but at the same time he said "even though we haven't spoken much" which doesn't give me very much confidence in what he is telling me.
He just kept Christopher over Casey. So really what options would Zach have had to put up? And if I ended up on the block at the end of the week I'd likely get evicted.
Good luck over there
He knew he was going up, so I can't really fault him for hitting the button. It just sucks because it puts Zach into an awful position, having to nominate someone else. I haven't talked to him today but last night he said he would pawn Ika if one of them came down. I feel like this could be the perfect opportunity to get Rachelle out. She's a challenge beast and if she doesn't win the veto, this could be the time to strike. I'm also nervous if Chris/Ika are the nominations, Rachelle wins and saves one of them... and then Zach has to pick between Me/Neda/Sofia, the three people in this house I believe he's closest too.
So yeah, I want to talk to him later about maybe shifting the target to Rachelle this round. I don't know how receptive he will be towards it though, I have no idea what his relationship with her is like. So... we'll see.
