Week 6 - Inactive Troll wins HoH

[Rachel Plencner]

I honestly have no idea what the fuck is going on this game right now. How am I not nominated? Is Dominic stupid? Even if he is close with me, if I'm playing in Veto and win, I'm obviously going to pull Karen off. Maybe he thinks it's too big of a risk to put me up? Ugh. I still wanted to talk to him and try to get him to go for Cassandra/Josh, because they will both float to the end again if we let them. Parker and I are WTFing at being in the HoH room and not being nominated, but hey, this is what happens when Inactive troll wins HoH. I've had like 4 or 5 convos with him all game, so just goes to show how poor Dominic's social game has been.

Meanwhile, Cumbucket (Drew) is running around freaking out about anything and everything even though he is immune. Though history shows the week after immunity results in eviction, which might happen. I just cannot fathom how much control I have over this game. Yes I obviously want Karen to stay but her leaving might be better for me, so I might take the risk and throw Veto, because I feel winning it and saving her might be more detrimental to me, than throwing it and having her come off the block.

Drew and I are the only people in the game that have not been nominated yet, and Drew likely would have gone up had he not froze. Aka I'm winning.

[Rachel Plencner]

Blah this game is so much harder to play out of a dorm xD.

Will try to write more up tonight, that and do Veto.

[Rachel Plencner]

In case you didn't see it, I asked for an extension. Hope its granted! See everyone later! 10-11EST at the earliest probs.

[Rachel Plencner]

Still nobody for PoV. My roomate has a class at around 12:30 pm tomorrow, I think maybe 12. Expect me around then

[Rachel Plencner]

If I lose the PoV by like two minutes Im going to be pissed. My roomate walked in right as I found my last word and I lost like 7 minutes talking to him D:

If Karen wins it I'm concerned I could go up. :/ I hope I get it.

[Rachel Plencner]

Fuck the new PoV. Karen will win hands down, but it's smart if she lets me. I''ll probably throw it if I talk with Dom tonight. I'm not gonna be home till late so.

Hmmm, Cassandra could win it? Dom, Josh, I doubt. Lori doesn't give a fuck right now. We'll see what happens. I wanna know how the fuck the other PoV cancelled. It's probably for the better but foul play? So sick of these people looking for loopholes in the rules. It's the same as the stupid auction when Nick, Porsche and Jason walked away with prizes out their asses. I absolutely loathe the arrogance of these people to try to break rules and act like heroes when they're the real villains. Oh well. Onto collecting rice. :/

[James Rhine]

You got this!

[Rachel Plencner]

I can't believe what has just transpired. I'm so upset, I just lost by best friend in this series and Enzo is gone to. (Regardless of what any of you think of him, I adore him and you guys know that.)

I'm so upset.

[Rachel Plencner]

I'm in ranting mode now but I can't put it into ranting words right now.

I'm really upset Karen quit but I saw this coming. This game has been so stressful on her, and she even said her HoH week it was in consideration since people were being so mean to her. I just adore her so much, to see her leave like this breaks my heart. It might be for the better though. You never know. Maybe it'll help my game since Lori and I can now convene without having to worry about our partners (Porsche for her, Karen for me) It does suck she just fucked our alliance over by doing this, but I'm not going to hold it against her. I totally get what she's going through and understand it even though there is a possibility she cheated, however she is my friend and I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt from me regardless of how suspicious it looks.

At this point, I know she'd just want me to stay strong and win this for her, and I'll do everythign I can to make that happen. I'm not gonna let this bring me down. I'm a fighter and I'm ready to go out in the HoH and kick some ass. Problem is it's a mini.. so this could be tricky.

Btw, if I leave her a goodbye message, will she get it? (Assuming she logs in? )

[James Rhine]

Karen got enough consideration from Chenbot. I get you have good intentions, but you might have to deliver it to her yourself.

[Chenbot]

What James said. I don't have her seeing any boards but what guests can see. You should talk to her if you want to give her goodbyes and such.

[Rachel Plencner]

You have got to be kidding about Nick being on the Jury... he was trying to get Drew to talk game with him when he has been out of the game for two weeks and he gets moved to Jury. That's one dumbfuck that won't vote for me if I get to the end. -___-

[Rachel Plencner]

Ok, now that I've had a night to have the situation of Karen walking resonate with me, here's my take on her leaving and Enzo leaving. (which is what I'm going to harp on more) Before I type this, I want to say I'm not accusing anyone of anything, and I'm not trying to bring anyone out on the defensive. I just want to say how I feel and at a couple points ask if it's really fair. (especially in Enzo's case) I know at this point nothing will bring Karen back and that's fine but I just want to look at this situation and compare it to others really.

Regardless of if Karen's score was legitamate or not, I'm not sure how you could have stripped her of the Veto. Last season when there was suspicion of foul play from players during the Week 5 Veto, you immediately did everything you could to clear that up and resolve that issue with everyone involved coming off scott free, since there was no way to prove anyone cheated despite her account being hacked. Here Karen got accused by staff when there was no way to prove if she cheated or not. I'm aware that in your eyes it "looked" as if she was guilty, but being the person that is closest to Sheri in this series, I don't think she would do that. She has complained to me numerous times about the other instances when other players (Such as the auction Veto) blatantly cheated or found loopholes in the rules and nothing was done about that, because just like in this case, there was no way to prove it. (And in the case of the auction Veto, it would have outed an alliance if made public) I understand her frustration with a new Veto because ultimately it's a different Veto and she may not be able to do as well on it as the previous one, although she should still do fairly well. I don't really think it's fair you outed her because of something Enzo said either but that's just my own opinion.

Now onto Enzo. Him being removed from staff baffles me. I do think he shouldn't have been as aggressive as he was in his PMs, but that aside, it seems to me his expulsion from housecalls is based a tad on All Starz and I don't think that's grounds to remove him. This is not Starz, this is Recycled. Enzo and Karen are close out of the game, but I cannot tell you how many times I've talked to Karen on Skype and had her say Enzo would never give her information on the game. Besides how is it fair to remove Enzo when Jen has cheated in competitions in BBR8? (This is what I've heard, correct me if I'm wrong, and no I'm not trying to get Jen removed from housecalls, it's just the example that pops into my head immediately) Was it fair then because multiple people were doing it? That's really inconsistent and I just don't understand it. I'm aware that my opinions are going to be skewed in favor of Justin and Sheri, but by the same token, I think the way the situation was handled was inconsistent with the way it's been done in the past. Last season players stepped in, and you cleared the defense as quick as you could. This season you stepped in without Karen's consent and that's the real reason she left, because at that point she already had so much of the house against her, and her reputation damaged by being accused of cheating that had she made it to the end, she would not have won.

I'm sorry if I offend anybody in this rant, it's not my intention I'm just a little put out with how things were handled, and as I said before I know Sheri won't be back, but if nothing else I think Enzo should be a housecall again. I'm aware certain people don't like him, but to have his staff title stripped because of this isn't right in my opinion.

[Chenbot]

Justin was removed because oh what and how he said what he said in PMs. I knew about the BB Starz stuff when it happened and he has still be on my staff in BBR 9, 10, and this season. It was just amount what he did to me. I also know that Karen/Enzo are close and stuff and I've not let it effect my judgement of either of them. I was outting her because of the things she said in private weren't consistent to her "innocence". I was talking on the phone with James about my preparations to just out what he, Karen, and I said and when I got online I saw Enzo's PMs and added them too.

I want to make it very clear that Enzo's comments had nothing to do with me announcement, he was an after thought I guess you'd say.

As for the veto, I understand that a new word search would be different. I would have factored that in to her time, but I put lots of words close together again so if she used her same method it would have been good. She refused. Instead she wanted the new veto (which she won in the past and luckily for her was next in line). It's just too suspicious and if she doesn't remember the conversations that I had with her last season and this season then she's forgetting that I was one of her biggest fans. I don't think being worked up for a game is worth it and if all that worked her up then I think it was best she walked. There are other games and other series.

As for Enzo, I have yet to talk to him, but I will being dealing with that whole separate issue sometime. In the meantime, I want to just get on with the game.

[Chenbot]

And I have no problem with you voicing your opinion, that's what I said to do in the announcement.
