I'm genuinely surprised to be here again in the house to say the least. I don't think I was all that great my second season so this is as good a time as any to redeem myself... the only problem is that I've been preoccupied as shit so I've only talked to so many people and for so long.
The good news is that the majority of who I've been talking to are in fact the 'naughty ones' of the season, the villains, the people who will be determining my fate and whether or not I'm nominated. Jun, Lori, and Britney are three perfectly good examples although I get this feeling in the pit of my stomach that Brit would nominate me just to be a bitch and to 'mix things up'... or 'make things interesting', one of the two.
I need to build momentum in this competition. I think my biggest mistake in both my prior seasons was putting faith in the wrong people and giving them too much info to work in their favor to use against me, so I'm playing a lot more conservatively this first week. Let the more vocal and competitive people shoot themselves in the feet first and then work a gameplan around that.
The most important thing is that I kiss whoever's ass wins the Naughty People's HoH. If it's Jun or Lori I think I'll be alright, if it's Evel Dick I'm virtually screwed because of past tensions. Everyone else... well, it's a crapshoot. I guess we'll see what happens but I'm glad to be back in the game and hopefully will make it farther than 8th. I am the steadily improving one after-all, aha.

So Lori and I... don't exactly have an alliance per say but rather an agreement with each other to have one another's backs for a few rounds. Here's a segment of that conversation:
Now how much do I really trust Lori? About 65-70%. I can't say for certain she'd not nominate me if she was to win Head of Household but for now the chips are dealt, the hands are drawn, let's see what happens with the results of the HoH Comp. I feel somewhat enthused about my chances so crossing my toes and fingers!

Well I didn't win the HoH which is a big bummer, but what can ya do? You win some and you lose some and this time Jason took the prize as most determined of the nice people. So now here I stand without protection and the Naughty HoH is... Rachel?
I don't know where I stand with Rachel. I haven't even talked to her yet this entire game but I am hoping that Karen, Cassandra, and Dominic not doing the challenge will play in my favor. After-all... these people have morals right? Even the naughty bastards.

So Week 1 and I'm up on the block. *Thumbs up to Rachel* I don't really get the logic behind the decision but it is what it is. I need to fight hard for the Veto but just as well, start making bonds with other houseguests. I've already taken a bit of a head start and I know I'll have Jun, Lori, and Amy's backs but I need more... I always need more. lol

Porsche told me I have her vote if nominations stay the same which is uplifting to hear. I'm also talking it up with Drew and Karen too, doing whatever it takes to try and stay in. I think the strategy I need to pull is to just stay calm, not become Crazy Parker and assume I'm the target, and just play it by ear. I can't earn every vote but I can at least scavenge the necessary minimum needed to stay.

If nominees stay the same, here are the votes I feel I have... not saying I do 100% because you can never be too sure with this game even with promises made:
* Amy
* Dominic
* Jun
* Lori
* Porsche
Hoping to god I have the above votes. I'm going to continue working them like a dirty hooker and also take with Karen and Drew as well, hope I can sway them in my favor. It wouldn't hurt to chat up Britney and Joshuah as well, see if I can convince them by implying the numbers seem to be favorable. Britney gives the impression of a chick that will go where the numbers do since she openly admitted that she sucks at competitions. That in turn tells me she focuses more on the social and UtR aspects of this game which I can try and exploit. The only question is if she'll be dumb enough to fall for it...

Whoever came up with the concept for this challenge... you're the reason why I cry at night LOL! This is hard... as... balls. *Insert testicle joke via Britney here*
I finally give up with the Veto challenge. Several hours later and I can barely find any comparisons between TWO matches, let alone ten. Plus I need the rest to be able to socialize and save my ass if nominees stay the same so yeah... ultimately I tried but challenges based on memory of past seasons = a no go for Parker Somerville, they're his weakness.

Yes, yes, yes, FUCK YES! Amy confirmed she is going to keep me in the game and Nick did as well so in terms of votes I am doing wonderfully. Now I did make a deal with the nominee on the other side, Chima, that I'd vote to keep her in if she does the same for me but really that was a hollow promise. God I feel like a dick saying that but ultimately it's self-preservation and given the number of people voting... I don't think she'll know when things go down in the direction of booting her butt out.  |
