So obviously I did not win that, lol. A challenge full of flash games that I've never played before, I knew I was not going to do well. I basically just did the easiest shit - like spank the monkey, alternating posts, the dice game, etc. Basically nothing that took skill. I attempted the cryptogram and the crossword but it was taking too much time. I basically wrote the love story like just a few minutes before my time was done. I wasn't expecting to win this going in though - I think Heaven or Ryan has this down. I'm really pulling for a Ryan win because I know I'd be 100% safe with him - and he really has a fire under him now, targeting Mike, Candice, Boog, Neda, and maybe possibly Sofia? She told Zach that she doesn't care if Ryan stays or goes - the trio is bullshit, lol.
Well fuck. Sofia is clearly the HOH, lmao. She had altercations with both Heather and Zach and is really the only person I think would want to target both of them at this point. This blows because it's two members of my alliance on the block and if one of the comes off, I'm scared that I could possibly go up. Right when I saw Mike's key first, I knew it was going to be bad. I really don't know what to do now.
People are ignoring me on AIM, nobody is talking to me except Heather/Nick/Zach and Brian (and Heaven too I guess but I had to IM her earlier)... I feel like something weird is going on that I'm not aware of. I just sense that something is off, I don't know.
Okay so immediately after the nomination was announced, Heather and I got on Skype and low-key celebrated because we were FOR SURE it was going to be either myself or Nick going up. Heather said Candice and Keith both said they would vote for her and I spoke to Matt and Brian - and they are evicting Heaven as well. So as long as she doesn't play some kind of p(lant) veto, then we're good to go.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, Zach and Nick later joined us on Skype and went trolling on Omegle and we met CHEYENNE. And Oh boy, what a QUEEN. She needs to play next season. We got her on Skype and she's insane, I love it lol. We tried to explain ORGs to her and she was like "woah that's dark" and then asked us if we did cocaine or heroin. She also talked about how she lives with her ex-boyfriend and how he still tries to get with her. AND SHE HATES THE BRODOWN SHOWDOWN ALLIANCE. I've literally spoken to Cheyenne more tonight than I've spoken to Boog in the last two weeks. #bye
But on more of a game note, I think it's pretty obvious that Mike was the head of household this week? Sofia wouldn't put up Heaven - why would she risk it when Nick and I are a much safe option? It has to be him... or maybe even Candice? But I feel like Candice would be more straight up with her nominations and just go right for Heaven? Because you can't guarantee a backdoor in a blackout round? I do hope it is Mike because if next week is an endurance, I think he could be my only tough competition? If I were to win HOH, I think I would do Mike/Boog as initial nominations and then go for a Sofia backdoor.
I do feel bad for Heaven - I think this is pretty much a complete blindside to not only her but almost everyone in the game.
Zach told me he was thinking of doing a hinky vote for Heaven. WHAT?! He's afraid of how Sofia is going to react. I told him I don't think it's a good idea because Heaven already has Sofia/Ryan, she could easily pull in Boog/Candice/Neda considering that Boog went to Sofia earlier this week asking to work with her. With those votes + his vote, Heaven would stay. I mean, Heaven is not going to lay over and die - she's going to campaign and she very well could get some votes. She hasn't spoken to me because I think she knows where my vote is going because she's against Heather. I get that he wants to keep a connection to Sofia - but I really don't even want to RISK Heather going. He told me he bootlisted Heaven - and now he's offline D: I sent him another IM telling him again that I think it's a bad idea.
Bitch like you're even going to be playing in this. Apparently he's acting scared in the brodown showdown chat - asking the guys how well they think they will do, lmao. I think I can win this one. Heather and I really want to go all out.
My strategy for this challenge is that I'm going to start in the morning and just try to go all day and into the night. If I start it tonight, at around 6pm - it doesn't really give me a lot of comfort - and I would like to sleep tonight, lol. So tomorrow morning it is!
Also...
I'VE BEEN WAITING LIKE A YEAR TO SEE HEAVEN'S PICTURE BLACK AND WHITE. It's bittersweet though because I really do feel bad for her - and I do think we could have worked more closely this time around. I was getting paranoid last night though because she hadn't campaigned much and she just does not seem like the type to just give up, so it was concerning. I do have a feeling if there is a comeback twist and it's a challenge, there is probably like a 99% chance she's coming back lmao.
^ aaaaaand, she's back. That was quick. But yew know what? I'm not complaining. I obviously would have loved to have Brittany or Nicole back but Heaven returning isn't the absolute worst. I don't think she'd be against me at this point and she'd go after the other side. If we can get Sofia out this round, I feel like she, with Ryan, will be firmly on our side.
So going into this HOH - Heather and I really wanted one of us to win. There were so many question marks at the start - is Mike even competing or is he outgoing HOH? Can we outlast Boog because we don't know what her endurance skills are? Is somebody coming back into the game because so many evictees were on AIM over the past 5 days or so. Everything still felt a little blackout-ish so we wanted to make sure we had the power in our hands.
She started a little bit before me - so I knew if we stopped around the same time that she would win. My only shot at winning was if she had made a mistake and I continued to post. She did say she wouldn't mind stepping down and letting me take the endurance but neither of us really wanted to risk it. I mean, say by some off chance that Mike wasn't HOH last week and beats both of us? We didn't want to deal with that, so we both just went as long as we could. Either one of us winning is fine - we're working for the same goal. I'm so proud of us for going that long - with Heather at 22.5 hours. She's amazing <3 and I really feel like I would have lost my mind the past 2 days if it weren't for her.
So basically our plan is to nominate Mike and Matt - and then try for a Sofia backdoor, but if that fails, we just go for Mike. At some point though, I do want to turn everyone's attention to Boog. I think after Mike/Sofia, she should be the next target.
So apparently Heather and Zach both want to go for Mike over Sofia now, which I'm not sure is the greatest idea - because now that Heaven is back, the Sofia/Heaven duo is back in tact and Heaven is what connects Sofia to Ryan. I don't know what changed from last night with them being on board to backdoor Sofia this week to today, with them wanting to oust Mike or nominate Boog if veto is used. Now don't get me wrong, I want Boog and Mike out too, believe me. I do. But I really think the smarter play would be to get out Sofia. We only had a brief talk but I really want to bring it up again - and see if I can sway them back.
