Memphis the Mixologist 2.0

I'm really annoyed at the other nominations in house 1 and house 3. I understand wanting to target Heaven and Ryan, I do. They're friends and they're challenge MONSTERS. However, it should have been done in a BACKDOOR. Obviously the wonder twins are going to win the fucking veto. and now I'm totally screwed because Nick and Nicole are still on the block and that sucks for me. Nicole is a goner I think The only connection I have in her house is with Heather and she's not going to vote out Keith because they're friends. Which is annoying because Keith doesn't even care about the game.

Nick, on the other hand could stay. But I think Candice is going up and I hate that. Because I love Candice - and I'm so glad we were able to become friends in this game. I talk to her all the time. But Nick staying is probably better for my game since he's strong at challenges and will go after the S9 people as well as Heaven/Ryan when the time comes. I'm glad I don't have to make a decision in this house but I still feel terrible for some reason for wanting one over the other. Ugh. I'm too soft for ORGs. 

My house is probably the easiest. Sofia said she's not using the veto and Chris should be going. While I wanted a bigger challenge threat out, this is the best move. Chris has connections to Christine, Drew, Ash, and Boog - all people who are giant question marks to me. So getting him out is beneficial. Ika leaving would be a waste - she doesn't have any strong ties I don't think and she's lower-tier in challenges.

Nick and Britt are the final nominees for house 1.

I don't want either to leave. That fucking blows and there's nothing I can do about it. They're two of the people I really wanted to work with further in the game and now one of them is for sure leaving.

and Nicole is leaving in the other house over Keith... THE GAME TROLL.

I feel so bad for Brittany. I know she's not like a regular ORGer, season 7 was the last game she played - so she was really excited for All Stars and for her to go out so early totally sucks. and I don't know, I'm sad

But the game goes on... this HOH I won in my season. However, I'm not as familiar with a lot of the voices this time. There are so many international houseguests that I have never heard before. It's going to be really difficult. I feel like I have a good hold on Heaven and Shipla's voice... however, Ryan/Chris/Drew/Ash is going to throw me off and those are the ones I really need to study.

Heather and I were jedi-training last night and going back to older seasons to listen to the clips to get a feel of the voices...

Not us being so obvious about it <3

This has been something I've been thinking about since the game started. This game is filled with so many strong players that after last round suggests, are going to be targeting each other non-stop. I've kind of always wanted to play a game like Hayley's from season 6... that kind of UTR social game - it's something I've never really been able to pull off in ORGs but I think it's going to happen in this game. That's not to say there aren't people I want out - such as Drew, Christine, Ash, Boog, and to a lesser extent, Heaven and Ryan - but I think for the time being, I'll be seen as a non-threat and therefore will allow me time to really build up that persona. Although I know people know that I'm close to Zach and Nick, hopefully I'll still be able to attach that floater-like sense about myself to other players.

Also I'm gonna rant about Ash a little bit because he's so infuriating. HE IS NEVER ON. I went ELEVEN DAYS without speaking to him - and it's not just me, so many people have said that their communication with him is zilch. Yet I hear about him popping off on people like Matt and Brian (which part of me thinks is staged, especially the Matt/Keith "drama"). What is his game? I finally have a conversation with him last night and he tells me how he wants to win and "shake things up" ... what. WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? I don't get it. I know absolutely no idea where his mindset is and neither do a lot of people. On top of that, our conversation died like four minutes in because he gives me nothing to reply to. Everything is one word answers with him. It's like he's not even interested. So whatever. But looking at last season, he won this challenge, so.... I need to continue talking to him with a on my face. 

[memphis]

Wow, that HOH was so hard. I know I got the Nicole one wrong because I'm an idiot and put Heather > Then I realized after submitting, I never put a Nicole face on the board. IDIOT. I spent so much time researching the international voices (which I'm still not 100% sure on), that I forgot US/CAN voices. I'm so stupid.

You're not stupid!

Like I know I said I wanted to lay low and I still want to do that but the whole 3 houses twist scares me - with only 7 people in the house next week (6 in one of them if someone presses the button) and those are scary odds. and I know Ash won this in his season (20/20 in like 3 minutes), so I'm nervous of ending up in a house with him as HOH. Like I'm hoping Nick, Heather, Candice, or even Heaven (maybe) wins and I end up in a house with them, I would be okay. AHHH!

There were so many theories about what the button would do flying around last night. Some thought the presser could dethrone an HOH, some thought it would grant immunity and then go to pairs for the week, others thought the presser could pick the houses, etc. It was crazy! Although BOTB was a big contender with the words "fan favorite" in the announcement. The houses I think ended up working really well. I'm close with Hayley (her first HOH win ever <3) and I think I'm good with Heaven. I know she wants Christine's head on a platter, which she even said to me at the reveal, "I got Christine!" ... and she told me last round that her house was basically ignoring her and she voted against the majority... so with being in a house with her as HOH with Ash, Christine, and Keith in the same house, I feel good about that. Plus, Heaven and I have been saying for a while how we want to end up in the same house and such, so I'm hoping I'm okay with her. What I think could happen is... Heaven nominates Christine/Ika and Hayley nominates Brian/Ash. That way, one of Christine/Ash is still on the block after BOTB. I have a good feeling about this house but Zach is freaking out. He thinks Hayley is going to backdoor him if all goes south with the BOTB and POV. As long as we can all work together this week, I think we can all benefit. 

[memphis]

Socializing in ORGs like...

Ash is so weird. So apparently last night Zach and I heard that his plan is to backdoor Heaven this round... yet he's never really spoken game to me, Zach, Heather, or Hayley. How does he think this is going to work? If Hayley puts him up, he intends to THROW the BOTB. Okay. Go for it, we can just vote you out next. He only told Ika as far as I know, who told Rachelle, who told everybody else, lol. The season 9 alliance really needs to be broken up. Ash or Christine need to go this week. Hayley needs to log on because she hasn't been on since she hit the button! It's probably because of the holiday but I really want to talk to her. Heaven now knows of Ash's master plan, which means she now has now qualms about putting Ika up, which is great. I would prefer Heaven to stay HOH. 

Zach is a little nervous if Hayley stays HOH because if veto comes into play, he's worried about being the replacement. However, this house has both Zach and Heaven - two super strong competitors, my money is on one of them winning this veto. I don't care how it happens, I just want one of Ash or Christine to leave this round. Christine I feel like is more socially relevant as Ash doesn't speak to a lot of people. However, after looking at the season 9 voting chart, Ash won more challenges. So it's a toss up. I know Christine was Heaven's initial target but now that she knows of Ash's plan, she could change her mind. Hell, I wouldn't even be upset if Keith left this round either. We just need to get past BOTB and it will be more clear.

I sent Hayley a PM just in case I can't talk to her tomorrow before she does nominations. This is what I sent:

Hey Hayley! Hope you’re having a good holiday! Was just thinking I would send a PM in case we can’t talk tomorrow. Congrats on HOH! <3 So Ash apparently has been going around and telling people he wants to get you to backdoor Heaven. I think his plan is to get you to nominate him so he can throw the Battle of the Block so you can then backdoor Heaven – but he’s only shared this information with Keith and Ika, though they have loose lips and it leaked lol. I think Keith might want to throw too? It’s kinda ridiculous that they’re speaking on your behalf. It’s also funny because they haven’t even shared their plan with the rest of the house. Hopefully we’ll be able to talk more tomorrow! Congrats again on winning HOH!

I'm hoping she puts up Ash/Keith. I really hope I can catch her on AIM before she does nominations.
