Omg I'm hoh! I'm so happy! So first off I think you're right about ash because he sent me a pm Asking to talk later. I am not down with the backdooring heaven plan but just keep that between us and pretty much the reason why is cause heaven talks to me and ash has ignored me til this round lolol! I'm not sure on my noms yet but I know they are gonna be some combo of ash Brian or Keith because I'm not putting up you or heather. Can the winners of botb be put up as veto replacements? I'm not quite sure about the rules on that. Anyway I'll get home this afternoon a day well talk soon!

I really want to try and push Keith/Ash as the nominations because it would leave Brian safe and he has the least likely chance of winning the veto. Because lets say if it's Ash/Brian on the block, they lose BOTB, and Keith wins POV and uses it.... then only me/Zach/Heather are eligible for nominations. 

Also... Ika is so extra about everything, it's really annoying now. Shut up.

[memphis]

ONE OF ASH, CHRISTINE, KEITH, OR IKA IS GETTING EVICTED THIS WEEK. I FUCKING SWEAR THIS INTO EXISTENCE!

[memphis]

Why is Ash still throwing the battle of the block? Does he still think his backdoor plan will work? Because it won't, if Hayley is telling me the truth. BUT WHY would Ash want to stay on the block when he never speaks to me, Zach, or Heather. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. Either he's a fool or I'm being left in the dark about something in this house. Zach is getting really paranoid and says something doesn't feel right. But I trust Hayley, so I don't know. What if Ash has a (p)lant veto? I'm so confused. 

If nominations stay the same, I hope Heaven gets picked to play in POV and wins, sealing his fate <3 PLEASE HAPPEN.

Also, I feel really bad for Brian. Like I know I wasn't his biggest fan earlier in the game but nobody really deserves this. He at least should get a shot at saving himself with the BOTB. Ash is being an asshole. #Ashhole

Ash IM'd me...

John Wilson
Hey Memphis, I saw you liked some of Sofia's comments in the BoB thread, I hope you don't think I'm like quitting the game or asking to be evicted just from trying to throw a BoB


Memphis Garrett
Oh hey, sorry I'm in and out tonight. I didn't think you were quitting although I admit I don't completely understand the mindset of throwing when you're on the block. But if that's what you feel is best, you gotta do what you think is right.


John Wilson
Personally for me I see it as the best way of keeping both myself and my ally in the game


John Wilson
Plus keeping the chance of getting out someone I find extremely shady and personally annoying

I mean, does he not realize that he doesn't have the votes? Me/Zach/Heaven/Heather would all keep Brian if nominations stay the same. He's made no work on any of us socially, so what makes him think he would stay? I guess maybe he thinks one of us could flip since he'll have Keith/Christine/Ika's votes? But I really don't see any of us flipping so....

Zach Rance
i dont talk to ash - the cast of bbrnfas2

[memphis]

Wow. Really impressed Brian was able to pull off a win on his own like that. He did great! It sucks though because I can't even be like "HA! IN YOUR FACE ASH!" because Ash has fucking immunity now. Not a satisfying tale of comeuppance. 

So now Heaven is HOH and I do feel good with her. Even if Keith wins and uses (which I think he would on Ika, not Christine), Heaven would put up Heather before she puts me up. However, the likeliness of that happening is very low I believe. Especially now since Heaven is 100% playing in the veto. I think she'll probably win it and nominations will stay the same. That's best case scenario. I hope Zach, Heather, and myself are the 3 chosen to play too. That way I know even if one comes off the block, Keith will go up. After the stunt Ash tried to pull this round, I really want Christine to leave. He was willing to stay on the block for her. They definitely need to be broken up ASAP. It also breaks up the Christine/Drew duo as well. Two birds with one stone. 

[memphis]

Wow. THIS IS THE MOST TWISTED (copyright 2014 BB16) ROUND EVER. The target went from Christine initially, to Ash, then to Christine again, and now Keith. Right after veto results Keith IMs me. Yeah, no - don't be so obvious. I think it's funny that he and Ash wanted nothing to do with me until their asses were on the line. I will give Christine credit, at least she's been social and has kept conversation up - far more than I can say for Ash and Keith. Heaven told me Keith is going up, and is likely the target for this week. Ash is now trying to get Heaven to put up a "threat" but she told both Zach and myself this - plus, he did try to get Heaven out like 2 days ago, so I don't think she's putting stock in his word. UGH. I can't wait for this round to be over. 

Zach thinks Ash and Christine cheated in the veto. I will admit 1 minute and 42 seconds is a crazy good time. But I didn't play in the challenge - so what do I know? I don't have a baseline of how hard or easy it would have been. I really just don't know. So I'm just trying to move forward right now and get Keith out. 

[memphis]

The target has changed once again What a lovely, non-stressful round this has been! So now the vote is Ika, which I'm a little annoyed at. Hayley was dead-set on voting out Ika because she's hard to talk to. Brian would not give me a straight answer (Classic Brian). Even when I told him I think Keith is with Ash and they were trying to pin the "backdoor Heaven" plan on him, he was just like "yeah." Okay, cool. I don't know what it is with him but I've never given him a reason to distrust me and I feel like he has since the very first round. and I really try with him, I wanted to work with him in this game. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt because I know he doesn't have the best reputation in the ORG world. But whatever, he can go. 

Heather is close with Keith. I knew this from the start. So I didn't push too hard wanting Keith out to her. I figure I could use her relationship with him to my advantage. I told her I liked him and would work with him but was worried if he was just trolling the game and if he would make nominations based on Keith points (which is something I could see him doing). What I hope is that she goes back to him and tells him that I like him and want to work with him, so then he'll come to me and start ~working~ on me. If he's not going to get evicted, I need him on my side then and Heather is the person who can make that happen. I'm getting 11 Keith points for keeping him. 

So Ika is leaving, which I'm not too broken up about. We don't talk that much, Hayley is right - she is hard to talk to. and she lies a lot, she was 100% deflecting all the blame off of her in the nomination fight this round. We all know she was apart of Ash's plan - she told Rachelle and Rachelle told everyone else, lmao. It's just funny that after such a stressful round, we're taking out the worst competitor in the game. God.

I'm worried about the other house though. Because we flopped in getting out Christine and Ash - so they need to take out Drew. Nick told me the vote is going to be super close though. Shipla and Mike want Candice out badly. Candice cannot go. I love her and I really want to work with her in this game - but she, like Nick - I have not been in a house with yet. It's frustrating! He said it basically all comes down to Neda. Fucking great. She's so troll-ish in IMs, I feel like I haven't even met the "real" Neda. It was funny at first but now as the game goes on - it's really starting to grate on my nerves. I wish I could have a normal conversation with her. So who knows what she is going to do.

I also touched base with Nick today. We talk but since we've been in different houses the whole game, we haven't really been able to talk a lot of strategy. I was worried that he wouldn't trust me as much - but I feel a lot better after my talk with him today. We affirmed that we're working together and shared some info with one another about our houses and possible other alliances in the game. League 2.0 is a go!

When this round finally ends...

[memphis]

Looking at the list of stuff changed from the HOH challenge, I'm annoyed at myself for not catching some of those ("Welcome to AS1" for example). I probably could have won this because my score compared to the others was pretty decent. A few more and I could have gotten this. How annoying. And this week would have been perfect because I would have had so many people to choose from. But I guess with BOTB still going, it's best not to win HOH because if I'm HOH, I want my nominations to stick. I wouldn't want to be dethroned. 

So anyway, Sofia is going to put up Hayley/Neda and Mike is going to put up Ash/Candice. Obviously some deal was cut between Sofia and Mike, which is odd to me since I thought they would be salivating to backdoor the other. But Sofia wants to go for Christine, which is smarter. So I kinda get it. Then again, I thought last round Ash/Brian were staying on the block, and they both were immune. But if Mike's nominations lose, Ash is still up on the block and there is a good chance he could go. 

I mentioned earlier in my diary room how I wanted to play a Hayley-season 6 type game where I'm not seen as a threat but I'm social enough to stick around for a long time. I feel like I'm doing that really well for the time being. The only person I think that would want to put me up right now is Ash, probably. Then again, who knows. This game is crazy and I could very well be at the top of everyone's hit-list for some reason I'm not aware of. But right now, I'm hoping a lot of these bigger personalities and challenge monsters will go after one another. Then once they've destroyed each other, I'll rebuild <3

[memphis]

Another week of not playing in veto. My UTR edit <3

[memphis]

I'm safe for this round!



But Shipla and Hayley are the final nominees....



*Tina Belcher groan*

This is going to be a CLOSE VOTE. Strategically, it's probably better if I vote to evict Shipla. I've been aligned with Hayley since the start of the game and Shipla and I have never really confirmed an official alliance since we were never in the same house until now - but we do have a friendship outside of the game so we do talk. Plus, I do know she is after people I'm close with (Zach and Nick) and she's close with the season 9 crew minus Rachelle? This is kind of like AS3 where she has so many connections before me I feel. Gamewise, it makes sense. I'm just struggling with it on a personal level :/ 

[memphis]

These pairs... yikes. This is going to be a super messy week. I don't mind Keith that much anymore but what concerns me about being paired with him is that he was the block pawn three weeks in a row. I really do not want to be sitting next to him on the block. I can't even figure the votes I would or wouldn't have because I don't know who would be HOH and who would be the other nominated pair. This is a mess. We did the HOH together but it's pretty much a crapshoot, we don't know how well we did.

We spoke about what we would want to do if we won... Keith mentions nominating #Bryan and #Ashelle... which I don't have a problem with, although I would prefer nominating #Haytine. What SUCKS is that each pair pretty much has one person that I like, and the other I want gone. I would not want to nominate Hayley but I do want to get Christine out of here. Ugh. This is all moot though because we probably won't even win. I don't even know who I want to win at this point, I see a lot of these pairs being conflicted with one another. 

[memphis]

5 weeks into the game and I have yet to play in a veto competition...

[memphis]

So Christine/Hayley and Ash/Rachelle are nominated. Zach told me that Me/Keith are off-limits for nominations and that made me feel good. I was worried because I knew Heaven and Keith had some kind of bad blood from earlier in the game - her voting him out week 2, nominating him week 3, etc. I was worried I would go up because of him. So I'm glad that is not the case. If one wins the veto - Zach told me he thinks Boog/Heather would go up - and obviously I would want Boog out. Right now, I'm hoping nominations stay the same and Christine/Ash go.

Rachelle and I spoke last night about having each other's backs in this game and we've begun talking more game - which I'm happy about. I like her so I think this will work. I know she's a good competitor, so I'm hoping when the time comes, I can work with her on getting other huge threats out like Heaven/Ryan. Although for the time being, I'm with all of them - which is keeping me safe in these early rounds. 

I've been thinking for a while how it's weird that there have been no larger multi-person alliances forming - at least noticeable ones outside of the s9 crew. Tonight, I finally got one. Myself, Nick, Heather, and Zach are in an alliance - The Gatorades (working title). I like this alliance because they're the people I trust the most in this game - so I would really love to work with this alliance till endgame. One thing I did wrong in season six is that I was way too open about my allegiances - by round 5, everyone knew I was loyal to the guys alliance and I lost loyalty I think I would have had with Heaven. So I need to be more discreet this game. At this point though, I do feel like people know I'm with Zach and I'm with Nick - just based on my previous season and the fact that most people know Shadow and I are pretty close outside of the game. But still, I think I could work it out better this time.

Way to go, Kat. Ruining my no-veto streak. RUDE. >
