Round 7 Confessionals

[Mike Dutz]

Soooo I stayed.  Biggest battle ever and probably one of the first times in a long while that I have successfully managed to sway people to keep me around.  I may have been brought into this round with the intention of being used as a pawn against Zach and Neda. Whatever the reason is, I really don't care. I'm safe and I'm still here. I have the potential of breezing through this round no matter who wins if Zach and Neda would like to retaliate against Sofia and Brian over targeting myself. Zach said to me I'm clearly safe now. We'll see. If he wins HoH then we will see how he wants to play this. Does he want to make good on that statement or does he want to continue with the lies?  I know I do not want to get 4th place so hitching onto this Sam, Brittany, Sofia alliance could be a bad move for longer than a round.  I said to Sofia that we need to win HoH.  Do I though?  If Zach and Neda want to work with me...it may be wiser for me to throw the HoH and let these two different groups battle it out.  Maybe get one of Sam, Sofia, Brittany evicted so I'm not the fourth wheel.  Every single one of these people are liars.  The shadiest people I have ever come across.

But whatever, I'm not going anywhere right now.  And top row baby!

I'm just watching these people fight and seriously, people might think Sofia and Sam had everything to do with this eviction and they can think that for now. But I'd like to think that I had some part in my own fate. If Neda had not spoken to me last night then I wouldn't have confronted Sofia which led to me talking to Brittany as well.  At this point, I don't know who to trust. If Zach and Neda are telling the truth, I can't trust Sofia. If Sofia and Brittany are telling the truth, then I can't trust Zach and Neda. Perhaps everyone wanted me to be the one evicted. But I didn't give up, I campaigned, and I fought really hard to stay. If Sofia and Sam did want me to leave, I raised enough doubt in their minds to drive them to deliver the result I was aiming to achieve.  So kudos to me.  If I make it to the end of this game, so help me, people better not say I didn't do anything.  I think right now, I've played a great game.  It is the F6 and nobody is mad at me right now.

Looking at my endgame options, Brittany may be the best option for me and I hope she would think the same about me.  I'm scared to bring it up to her though because I think she may have a deal with Sofia and I've gone and told Sofia and Sam that I plan on sticking with them.  If I went and tried to offer a deal to Brittany then I could piss Sofia and Sam off.  Best to just lay low for now.  Besides, the game changes so much that by the end of this...Brittany may not be my best option to take to the end if I want to win.  Right now, I don't think anyone on the jury is mad at her.  And see, even thinking this over now...maybe it isn't my best move.  I don't know.  I have my work cut out for me if I want to win the game.  Zach, Neda, Sofia, and now Sam are some big name players.  I don't want to go against Zach in the end though, I know that much.  Sofia just earned praise from Brian so that's not good.  Hmmm.  Think, think, think.  Guess I'll just have to see what my options are when a couple more people are evicted.

[Mike Dutz]

I guess Brittany thinks going to the end is best for her because she said she wants us to stick together. That's great and all but I won't discount possibly taking Neda or Sam to the end of the game over her if I can ever win a damn challenge to gain some leverage for myself in this game. Sofia winning HoH means straightforward nominations and means Zach and Neda will need to fight for that veto if they want to stay in the game. Ideally, Zach doesn't win and he goes home this week.

[Mike Dutz]

This veto is so important and it is a very difficult challenge. Last season this particular challenge took people 20-36 minutes to complete. I'm nervous about this one. I also tried to look back to last season but I see the challenge is missing from the diary rooms lol sooo yeah guess I can't see an example of how to do it most effectively. I'll do it tomorrow sometime, too tired tonight. <3

I'm looking for a host ^_^ I'll be on AIM for a bit...

[Mike Dutz]

I see Rhian will be on at 1:30, I'll come back then

[Mike Dutz]

I think my time is pretty good for the challenge. It's no Heaven or Kaysar score but it could be good enough if people aren't smart about how to do this challenge. I wish I had clued in sooner on how to do the challenge and I would have had a Heaven or Kaysar time. I put the tiles down, took a print screen, did it in paint - the solution beside what I had printscreened, quoted my post, copied the codes so I had two sets of codes in front of me, and looked at the paint masterpiece I constructed and started moving from the top codes to the bottom codes. I hope it's good enough! I want to win something lol.

[Mike Dutz]

Are these people even human?

Sam, seriously...so annoying lol. Is it hard to check the game before your work day? And then you can't even check it one time during your workday either? He comes online like 1 hour a day. How did this guy make it this far? lol

[Mike Dutz]

I mean, I'm not concerned that he is going to use the veto though. He really shouldn't if he plans on winning the game but I need to double check subtly and I also need to start dropping hints that I may want to go to the end with him. I'll write a confessional next round on all the pros and cons of each person but I need to make sure people want to take me. I also need to be careful because I want to be the person with all the end deals but I don't want to be caught red handed.
