Round 9 Confessionals

[Mike Dutz]

Guess I have really broken that curse. I'm hoping you hosts were right when you said that. Imagine I win?  Ahhhh. Such a great comeback after last season!

Brittany tells me that Sofia voted against me because she wanted Sam to break the tie and look like the bad guy. Sneaky bitch. I need her OUT.  Brittany is such a threat to my game because I feel like Sofia and Sam will both want to keep her. I need to keep chipping away at Sam if Sofia wins HoH and drive in that together maybe we can beat Sofia in the challenges. I think it is clear that Sofia would take Brittany to end so he has to realize he can have a 2/3 shot or just a 1/3 shot. 

Neda rooting for me. Take that to the jury and get me some support girl

[Mike Dutz]

Thank you for finally doing a challenge I prepped for

I really hope I win it ughhhh

[Mike Dutz]

I'm working tomorrow until 5/5:30 so I'll have to do the challenge when I get home. Sorry if I'm the last one. But yeah, I've memorized everything and am hoping to rock it. I just need to make sure I'm quick enough.

Scales, dots, stork, puzzles, cat, box, shirts, vetos, voices, lock, freezeframe, count, chair, pieces, maze and checkmarks. Dope yo. I told you, I prepped hard for this. Guaranteed F3 puhlease! Then nominate Sofia and Brittany maybe (sorry Brittany) because I need to gain some more favour with Sam and I want him to make the decision and send Sofia home. Veto is the most important thing for the non-HoH people this round. If I win the HoH, I'll still try in the veto but I definitely want to win the HoH so I don't have to have the pressure of for sure winning the veto which I think would be the case for me this round.

[Mike Dutz]

Please let that be good enough, I memorized everything if I don't win it ugh. I think my time is good! Pleeeeease lol

[Mike Dutz]

1 second, WOW!!!

[Mike Dutz]

I knew I was capable of winning a challenge!  Sam and Sofia are good, but I was not going to have a defeatist attitude about facing them in future challenges or about my chances in this HoH!  I think that showed in my previous confessionals for this round and it is that positive energy that really drove me to win this challenge.

This win will help me save some face with the jury if I happen to make it to the end.  I don't think any of them would have expected that I would beat Sofia in a challenge and guarantee my spot in the F3 of this game.  As Neda said, from almost leaving in 7th place to the F4...and now the F3!  I've come a long way and fought every step of this journey and I'm continuing to be a fighter!  I can't wait until the jury sees the result.  Sarah is the only one who has seen that I won this challenge.  Hopefully they have some good things to say about me in the jury once they see I was able to step up and beat a tough competitor at a very important moment in the game.

Sofia will be nominated for sure.  Not sure about the other nomination yet.  I need to stress in my speech that the veto is the all important competition of this round and wish each of them good luck in the veto.  But I definitely want to call out Sofia at the same time.  Show some backbone and grit to the jurors.  Not just a fake, friendly, guy.

I think the target on me is going to be huge next round.  If the F3 is myself, Brittany, Sam then I think my chances are much better than a myself, Brittany, Sofia F3.  I think Sofia would take Brittany to the end.  I think Sam may as well but I could stress to him that she has a lot of friends on the jury.  I'm not going to worry about things until next round at this point.  Try and win the veto but if I don't...let the chips fall as they may because the three of them will have all had an equal opportunity to save themselves.

I'm so excited to be in the F3!  Next stop F2 please

[Mike Dutz]

Brittany is saying that Sofia told her that she may evict her. Sofia is torn about who to evict because she does not think she can beat Brittany in the F2. Shocking. If that's true, I would feel a lot better about my chances of making the F2. Myself and Sam are good at challenges and have a shot against Sofia and I think he would rather take me to the end over taking Sofia if he is able to make the decision. He may feel he would lose against either of us but would rather lose against someone he likes.

But I bet Sofia keeps Brittany and I'm just getting my hopes up and will just be let down. I just kind of also don't want to be responsible for Brittany going and I would have to make that decision it I win the final HoH and the final 3 is myself/Brit/Sofia. I think I would lose against both of them. So I have to hope that Sofia makes the tough cut now for me. I don't see how it benefits her though. She can beat Brit and I in the end. Unless she feels maybe Sam would take her to the end. You all know how much I hate waiting though. And now I have to wait until tomorrow because Sofia told Brittany she needs a lot of time to think about it. Understandable. But hate waiting!

[Mike Dutz]

Wow she did it. Bye Brittany
