Confessionals

[Sam Robertson]

I'm slightly bothered by a message Mike sent me. He was polite and his points made sense but it was blatant that Zach played a hand in why I received such a lengthy letter in my inbox. Mike said that Zach confronted him about the comment Brian made saying that Mike would put Zach up if he won (which he retracted when I didn't react well) which means that he and Zach had a chat.

I messaged Mike online and asked if he had the votes to force a tie that would bring me into the equation to break a tie. He said he believes he has Zach and Sofia. Sofia I understand because she thinks Brian is a daft fool but Zach why? Zach is one of the main players that wanted Mike to go and supported the nomination. It leads me to believe Zach is portraying a nice lad role to Mike and making it seem he has his back to stay and then can play off that he tried to save Mike at the end if he is sitting in the final.

It's strategic for Zach but it is fairly frustrating for me. I am going to talk to Zach about it and if Mike asks me then I will be honest and say that the votes aren't there to keep him which is the truth unless Zach changed his mind in the past few hours.

Things have gone barmy Big Bruv and I don't know what to do. I do know what I want to do but I don't know if it's a smart decision. Mike tells me that Zach and Neda prefer to keep him but can't because I will evict him in a tie. They are making me look like the bad guy. I asked Zach yesterday when I confronted him about Mike's message if he wanted Mike to stay and Zach said "no no no" because he thinks Mike going is better for the group. I was right to think that Zach is trying to making himself look like a saint to Mike but I guess Neda is in on it too.

Sofia is talking to me and she is saying she thinks Zach and Neda have a deal beyond the UN. I remembered in the early days before the UN was created when I wondered why Zach knew a good deal about Neda and things she was saying and that could be why: they have a final deal with each other.

I remember Zach and my chat about not feeling safe in that first alliance that Brian created. His reason for not feeling safe was because "nobody ever talked further than the 5" and he thought he was 4th or 5th in the alliance. Is he comfortable in the UN because he now has plans past the 4? If he does it's not with me because we never discussed finals and I don't think it's with Sofia because she's bringing up Zach and Neda to me.

I think I've gone mad and want to keep Mike but that means looking like an arse to Zach and Neda and ending the alliance with them. I think Zach and Neda are playing dirty trying to make me the fall guy for Mike's eviction and placing all blame on me when they are just as involved with wanting him gone. It is frustrating to me. If Brittany changes her mind and wants to keep Mike then I will consider keeping him..

[Sam Robertson]

I don't like free falling into the unknown but it's what I am about to do. XD I fessed up to Brittany about what has been happening (the UN) but made sure Sof was okay with it. Zach and Neda want to make me out to be the bad guy then I will do the same to them. Sof thinks it's the best move because Mike will be an assist in tasks and Brian is dead weight. Brittany says she wants to keep Mike now and Mike should be staying.. haha get ready for the house to combust after eviction.

[Sam Robertson]

Things went mad and I couldn't handle it. I don't do good with confrontations like that and felt Zach wanted to cause a big production. I know I should suck it up because it's a game but I don't deal well with that kind of stress and personal arguing. I said my piece to Zach and left it alone. I wanted to make sure everything cooled down before I came back around so I took a mental day yesterday and didn't sign in. I think things are okay now but it feels a tad uncomfortable.

Sofia's speech has me wondering if she's upset with me. She made some cheeky comments and said that she didn’t trust me or Zach when we switched groups. I don't know where I stand with her and want to talk to her about that. I feel alone even though there is an alliance chat with me, Mike, Sofia and Brittany that was created yesterday I reckon. I read some of the back log and Zach is the target this week and I am okay with that because I don't know if Zach and I will ever get back to how we were.

Winning POV would be brill because I can reestablish my place in the house and in the new group. I want Zach to leave because he has a greater chance to win and nominate me. I don't have any permanent ill feelings about Zach but him attacking how I type and calling me a liar bothered me and if he continues with that then I'll tell him to bugger off for good and let that relationship go.

[Sam Robertson]

I hope nobody kills me for saying this but for a moment there I was thinking of using the Veto on Zach. XD He made great points to me. I don't have any doubt that Sofia has stronger connections to Brittany and Mike over me and that there is a network of alliances between them. Mike/Sofia, Sofia/Brittany and Brittany/Mike. Zach swore he would go to be with me in the game if I saved him and he'd have my back.

The bloke is on point in competitions and he could win Head of House and keep me safe and target Sofia/Mike/Brittany. But I don't know if I can trust Zach. I don't think I can trust anyone really. It's put me in a bit of a predicament Big Bruv.

It dawned on me that while everything sounded good that it was still Zach. Zach is a machine and if he was sitting here talking me up and having me want to change my mind and save him EVEN WHEN I was dead set on keeping nominations the same then that goes to show just how much he is blessed with the gift of gab. I can't sit next to that in the end and nobody else wants to either. This is the one opportunity we all have to take him out and me and the others aren't going to miss it.

Hey Sam! So if you haven't seen pov results/ceremony yet, then go check them out first and then come back to this message please!















I wanted to ask you that when you post your replacement nominee, that before signing off for the night (time difference), that you please post in your DR who you'd evict in the event of a tie. If that's not possible, let me know please!

[Sam Robertson]

Thank you Shir! I casted my vote early in case that happens and it probably will knowing who's voting. XD

Neda sent me a message last night saying she thinks Mike and Sofia are together and thinks it's smart to put up Mike. I thought this too but I was already decided on Mike going up and let her know that. I told her that Mike was my option all along. She went on to say that she thinks if she stays that Sofia should leave next and that the F3 be me, her and Brittany. I replied and told her that she needs to make sure she has the votes to stay because the way things were discussed was that she was always going if Sofia got off the block.

Mike sent me a similar message saying how he's paranoid how Brittany responded to him and thinks if he goes up then he will go home. I told him that Brittany will keep him and I can't see Sofia keeping Neda unless she's wanting to cause trouble. If that does happen that I will break the tie and I'll keep him here (ending whatever Mike and Sofia had), no questions asked. I expect Mike stays this week and I am hoping that Mike or Brittany win Head of House (preferably Brittany) but the odds aren't in my favor with Sofia playing.

[Sam Robertson]

Mike keeping me safe was a generous move considering I made him the replacement over Brittany last round. I kept him safe in the tie breaker position twice and he recognized that. I sent him a quick message and thanked him for it and said I wouldn't forget it.

Sofia winning POV means I'm going on the block and ending my role as the last person to not be nominated. I didn't bother to respond to Sofia's comments about me being the least social in Mike's ceremony. I've heard it all series by the players who are bitter with me. If I was the least social than why am I the last to be nominated? I did something right yeah? I forged the right bonds and got myself in the right alliances and won the right challenges I needed to secure my safety.

There is a chance none of it will matter now because Sofia might evict me. Sofia has to choose between Brittany and I. Me being the only other player to finish the POV has me worried sick. I wish I didn't finish now! XD If you think about it.. Sofia said it all in her cheeky comments. If I'm viewed the least social then she should view me as having a weak stance and pitch when and if I sit in front of the Jury.

[Sam Robertson]

If Sofia takes Mike then she's not as intelligent as I thought she was. That could be my bias talking lol XD but I think that the only way we would have a chance is if we faced off against eachother. I realized this after Mike went 15 hours in endurance. You don't sit beside someone that pulls that out of their hat. It's game suicide.. especially for players who made bold moves and gathered a following of haters from them!

I hope Mike doesn't take my post in the eviction thread as me attacking him in any sort. If Sofia does decide to take me to the end he is a vote I would think I'd have in my back pocket. I'm nervous for what Sofia will decide but she has to know that taking me to the end gives her better chances over Mike who coasted the early to mid game and then got in the right group to carry him to the Final 3. He didn't have to piss anyone off or backstab anyone because he was always alone.
