Week # 5

Week # 5



Sarah was evicted unanimously which was surprising. Brittany and Luke must have caught wind and folded to the majority. Luke did tell me he did it because he saw her as the bigger threat. Luke and Mike are looking to rid of threats and I'm starting to show as one.

I think Mike is responsible for the hinky votes from week 2 and 3. Tonight he told me he would nominate maybe Luke and Sam if he won HoH. I don't really believe him. The other day he told Sam he would nominate people who are on aim a lot who probably have alliances, and in other words, big threats. Mike doesn't seem to have much alliances if any. He claims he is not as close to Brian as people think he is.

I win Head of Household. WHAT. What? I wasn't even kidding or trying to look less threatening in the results thread. I guessed like 5 of them. The bottom row confused me a lot. I can't believe I got all 18 right lmao. But now I have to get my hands bloody. IF ONLY I LOST BY 4 SECONDS. Sam would have been a percfect HoH. I'd likely be safe with no blood on my hands. Crap!

I couldn't throw this HoH. I was terrified of Luke winning and did not know what Mike would do either. Luke maybe might not have nominated me, but he constantly brings me nominating him week 3 up whenever we remotely talk about the game. So he clearly isn't forgetting it or trying to move on from it. Easy nomination there. I was starting to like him better too. It's been an overload of thoughts thinking about my best move.



My next nomination is tricky. My biggest concern is leaving Mike off the block and having him veto Brian, forcing me to nominate Brittany. I don't want to lose Brittany's trust. I am going to lose Brian's this week by using him as a pawn, but the odds of him winning a competition are slim. He is proving to be the Victoria of the season. When I told Brittany my plan of pawning him, she brought up something I'm going to use. "What if Brian is throwing?" Now I truly do not believe that. I think he just sucks. But I'm going to use it as a reason why I am hesitant of Brian and that maybe he isn't pulling his weight and that I'm sorry I am using him as a pawn because of that doubt. lmao I'm so evil.

So I will probably nominate tomorrow before the deadline. I may tell Brian over PM because I work all day. I am deciding not to put up Mike because if I put him up before the veto I may as well just target him. He is decent in competitions. Instead, I am telling him I think I could be targeted down the line and people I have deals with may be tempted to oust me, and that they may have multiple deals too. Taking a leap of faith with him.


Boot list nominations:
Brian
Luke

I can't believe I never updated about revealing the big secret to my true alliance! Last round after the veto ceremony Sam and I spoke to Neda first then Sofia second when they came online. We created a chat room between the four of us where we currently talk as a group. I was worried how Neda and Sofia would react but even if they are upset by it they won't let us know!

The reactions were good. Neda was better than expected and she understood the positions we were in. Hopefully she still trusts me with final two because that is the plan! With Sofia, she said she was glad we let them know. I talk to Sofia mostly in the chat now opposed to regular i-m. If anything I know this will bring Neda and Sofia closer, which I told to Sam. Sofia is a pretty blunt player with her feelings so I'm hoping I can read her sincerity in the alliance.



Back to this week - I just won a math POV. LOL I hate math. When I saw the thread and  saw Mike and Brian did not finish, I was instantly relieved. Then the next post was Luke's long time and I knew it was a done deal. My nominations won't be changing. RELIEF! I can tell Mike is somewhat nervous whether he pretends to be or not. I don't blame him but I don't want him out. I was miffed this morning seeing Luke pick Mike over Brittany. It really made my wheels turn. Would Mike veto him? Did Luke pick Mike because he performs the worse compared to Brittany and Sam? The results of the veto indicate that among Brian, Mike, and Luke - Luke is the biggest threat to win a challenge. Mike has only proved himself in endurance and we just had that the week before last.

Boot list: Not using the veto

I want to talk to Sam before I post it though!

I feel like Mike has to be this mystery hinky voter? I don't understand if it's him though. People generally throw hinky votes to stir the pot...but when everyone thinks its you it's sort of pointless? But who knows maybe it isn't even Mike! Intentionally voting in minority? There has been a stray vote for so many evictions now.
