Round 3 Confessionals

[Mike Dutz]

Alright, Gina is gone.

I think my ally pool is pretty good tbh. I feel some people may come after me but they may have other targets ahead of myself still.

I touched base with Sam and he promises me that he will keep me safe if he is the HoH this round.  I promised the same.  I know he is not involved in an alliance.  He said he would have liked to keep Gina but he got the impression that she was leaving through PMs and Neda told him that she preferred Luke to stay also.  So he had to evict her.  I didn't say anything like that.  I don't need Luke knowing I was wanting him out.  Sam also said he feels Luke would nominate him.  I also didn't say that even though it worries me.  Me sticking with the whole not saying negative things, y'know?

So I am mostly hoping the HoH this round is myself, Sam, Brian, or Wil.  Maybe Brittany.  I don't want to see anyone else win it.

I wish Zach would talk to me but I feel Zach has a group and he is feeling comfortable not branching out beyond that now.  I missed an opportunity there, probably.  But he said part of the reason he evicted JoJo was because she wanted to talk too much game.  So that is why I avoided talking game with him.  I don't know what went wrong between us.  I would still keep him safe for now though and if I win HoH I need to take the opportunity to talk to him and find out why he has been keeping his distance.

A lot of talk about this being the round before jury begins.  I want to make it to jury!  I hope I can.

Did someone call one of the best endurance competitors known to ORGs!? Yay!!! I don't even care if it makes me look like a threat, I'm winning HoH this round. No question about it.

[Mike Dutz]

Alright, I'm going to attempt the challenge tomorrow after work. Goal time of 20-24 hours. Wish me luck!

Good luck!

[Mike Dutz]

Let's see what % I can get my PVR down to It is 68% full with shows taping tonight also. I'll tell you what it is down to at challenge end lol. I also have 2 loads of laundry to do and I can tidy my kitchen up a bit. It's going to be a productive time!

I also think Sofia would keep me safe if she wins HoH this round and she sounded like she really wants to when I spoke to her. She said it would be really cool if the two of us won HoH this week because no one would ever see that coming. So that could be awesome if she wins and I do as well.

But I haven't been on much lately...and I don't plan on logging on while I am doing this challenge so that is even more time away. Yikes. Extreme UTR strategy this round.

[Mike Dutz]

I am beyond tired right now. I was up at 6 AM. Now it's 2:40ish AM. But I feel like I've come this far in the challenge and there is no turning back. Go all out or go home, y'know? Now I need to continue posting or I'll just be a huge target if I'm not one of the winners. Why did I do this to myself? Especially considering I feel the people I trust did well. But then, what if I'm wrong about that? Ugh.

[Mike Dutz]

I was wrong about the people I trust doing well. Zach won. Brian would have won if he went longer and I didn't go as long as I did. Yuck. I know Zach and I are going to have totally opposite agendas this week so it will be very interesting. I suspect drama this round. I also worry about my nominations winning BoB and then getting put up as a replacement nominee this week. I'm happy about the initial safety and the chance of playing in the veto this round but I'm not going to parade around and assume I'm safe this round when I could very well be walking out the door of the BB house when the week is over.

I will think of my nominations over coffee and will post another confessional when I get back.

[Mike Dutz]

My thoughts!

[Mike Dutz]

This was a test post.

[Mike Dutz]

That was a tough nomination ceremony **fears the backlash**

[Mike Dutz]

Just some post thoughts on my nominations. I wanted to also use my nominations to prove to some of the people I have been trying to form bonds with that I do have their backs. The more friends I have next week the better chance I have of getting through next week. If I nominated Brian, I feel I would absolutely lose his trust. Brittany, I could talk to and explain why I nominated her. I don't feel Brian would be as accepting.

I spoke with Neda tonight and she told me if she won the veto this round she would not change either set of nominations. Good to know!

I am really working on talking to Neda as I need her if I find myself on the block this week and I also want to be safe next week again. Just keep acting like her and I are strong allies. I said I have doubts in her. I don't need her to know that and I need her to feel we are super close and I will continually keep her safe. I think I'm doing a good job of that.

Now time to just watch things unfold this week.

[Mike Dutz]

Aw we don't get to see the BOTB?

[Mike Dutz]

Dethroned as HoH, flubbed the PoV. Awesome round. Thumbs down.

[Mike Dutz]

Be flexible. That's the name of the game. I managed to keep myself safe with Zach and he was someone I felt could come after me. But his thing with Wil and Wil just reacting extremely poorly to it sealed Wil's fate this round and kept me safe. I think I am coming out of this week with good relationships with Zach, Neda, Brian, Sofia, Sam. I have worked on repairing my relationship with Brittany after blindsiding her with a nomination this round. I don't think that Luke would have my back despite him telling Wil that he would want to make a big move like I did this round. But that is something that I could possibly work to my advantage if I try and talk to Luke. Sarah absolutely hates me. Sweeeet! Not.

So all in all, I think I could be okay moving forward depending who wins HoH and who they could potentially feel worried about. If they have worries about other people over myself...all the better for me. Some people still just do not seem very social in this game. And despite my half-assed attempts at being social in this game, I think I am more social than a few others. And Brittany thanked me for talking to her tonight. Bonus! I think? I'll be a paranoid mess next round again but hey, I made the jury y'all!
Yay!!!
