I know it's been a while since I have posted in my journal... been busy, sorry about that. But here is a lowdown of what has been happening. Parker, Rachel, Drew, Karen, and I have all formed a Rubber Duckies alliance. This occurred a few weeks ago when Parker was named HOH. We realized that the rest of the house was together and was going to pick us all off one by one if we didn't do something about it. We were able to get Porsche out and then Karen quitting was sort of a blow to our game. However, this round we were able to DOMINATE in the challenge. When it got down to just Rachel, Parker, Drew, and myself, we all agreed to let me win since I have not won an HOH yet. Also, the other side wanted Rachel or Drew to win so that they couldn't play in HOH next week. I was the best possible choice to win HOH now.
So now that I am HOH I have every single person coming to be about the nominations. Dick and Russell want me to throw Drew under the bus and get him out. They have both offered me a final 3 deal. Dominic has also IM'd me asking me to talk to him since we have yet to talk in this game.
So this is what it comes down to... do I trust Drew or Russell more? I played with both of them last season and I have my reasons for trusting and not trusting them both. Russell can be an ass, but if you stay on his good side then that is definitely not a bad thing. Drew has been my boy since the beginning but him nominating me earlier in the season has ALWAYS been in the back of my mind. Nominating your best ally as a pawn? I still consider that the dumbest move of the game and I had to put on a show for many weeks so that he saw I could trust him. Do I? Not 100%. He is a good player and this could be quite the opportune time to get him out.
So much is going through my mind right now. Power comes with a lot of responsibility, but if played right it will only help me further myself in the game.
