Week # 2
So JoJo left rather abrupt. I'm glad she didn't stick around to say more. Felt pretty bad! But I was only one of like three people who liked her. I don't think her campaign strategy was award winning. Sorry JoJo! Ya FRUIT LOOP DINGUS.
Going into HoH I feel it might be in my best interest to not win so long as someone like Gina does not win. However, there are too many variables and I would not feel comfortable. Of course when I actually compete in the competition...I am DQ by like 7 seconds. The competition threw me for a loop. I thought I'd fly through it but nope! I was so confused. I had all of the memory wall photos in paint and I was zooming and staring and I could just not relate the pictures. Sofia and Gina were nowhere to be found, nose or eyes. Then when the competition was said and done, I find out that it wasn't just memory wall pictures but random ones used. WHAT. lol oh well, so long as I am safe and I get no blood on my hands = blessing!
I find it hard to constantly socialize. I hate it actually. But there are a few people I don't mind it with: Neda, Sofia, Brittany, Sam. Neda asked if we were a final two because it seemed so, and I said for sure! She's my favorite person and hopefully we can go the distance with eachother. She is not in my "alliance" but I doubt my "alliance" lasts super long. Sarah also seems about done with Brian and could cut him loose soon.
Praying for a good HoH. If it's someone like Gina, Wil, Mike, Luke - I will feel on edge all week.

YES
Literally the one person I wanted to win most won, even over myself. Neda and I have a final two so this should be the most relaxing week for me. I can work on my social game with other people I have been slacking with.
The only issue I'll face this week is my "alliance" and if they can not crack under the pressure of not being in control. Neda has mentioned to me the possibility of backdooring Brian if she won HoH. That might not even happen but it's something to consider for the better of our games. I don't even know if it's best for me, probably not - but I don't want Neda to be outnumbered either down the line.

So Sofia approached Neda about a 3-way alliance between herself and me. Neda came to me and said this and then Sofia shortly messaged me about it as well! This is the alliance I want to go all the way. I think we will be dominant in competitions and I enjoy talking with them the most. Sam would be a perfect fourth, but we're not going to expand beyond 3 right now.
I have never hidden an alliance from an alliance so this is an awkward position for me. It's going to come out eventually so I don't know what I'm going to do. Brian and Sarah are the ones who came to me and when someone asks you for an alliance the only option is to say yes. Especially this early. I think it speaks volumes about who I trust more when watching the HoH reveal. I was cheering for Neda and hoping she'd edge Sarah out. I was glad Brian only got 2. That is so absurd because I would surely be safe with both, but it just comes down to who I click with best. That is Neda.
I don't want to "turn" on my alliance. I just hope some of them get taken out by other means. Brian I can see a victim of this week. So I might have to mention it if I sense that happening. Sarah just scares me. I'll be loyal to her until I see valid reason not to be. Brittany and Sam I trust a lot and they'd be my ideal final 5.
I need to find a way out of this messy alliance situation.

Sigh. Neda asked if I wanted to play POV and I kind of did...but it makes no sense for her to expose us as being close. POV picks tend to make people observe things. As much as I want to play and win the puzzle (because I truly think I'd do good at this one) it's for the better. I wanted to play for the fact I can win POV's rather than HOH's without exposing my alliances. HoH's will piss off and make enemies when a ton of people like me. POV's allow me to rack up some competition wins for myself and my case at the end.
Sarah and I are the only two in the entire cast not to play in a POV so far.
I am just bored of sitting out. Anyways, Gina came to me and was really pissy about Neda putting her up. She basically said she really likes me. She likes to talk about getting stoned and throwing fruits at girls who hit on her exes. She kind of scares me to my very core???
"Stress free week though"

Brittany Martinez "Mike gets picked again for veto did you realize that?"
I feel instantly better about the decision not to play. Exactly why it was good that Neda did not pick me. Veto picks make people question things. Not being able to play and win comps left and right is boring for me. But it's the right move. So I have to SUCK it up and play this sort of game. It's the hand I was dealt.
Where is my BALL though and why does the bag hate me so?

Neda showed me this!: Wil Heuser 4:03 pm Oh no, honestly, I wouldnt put you up. I talk to you the most, then Gina. Then Mike.
I have a target! Wil is starting to (rightfully) worry about his place in the game and if he'd go up if veto is used, and what alliances are already out there. Where was this Wil while on the block last week?
It's funny though that Wil says he talks to GINA the second most. Like what?? And Mike is the next person he talks to most, when Mike evicted him week one. This guy can only blame himself for his poor game. He is nice and all but I need him out of the house! Next week would be ideal.

Sofia Valentine I think its easy to see who the next easy boots are but the order is a toss up I can see Gina Luke Wil Mike being the next 4? Everyine else is social enough to last If I win though I want Brian out lol
Lol it's funny how those are the exact four people I don't have any "alliance" with. Even Sofia who is not in that silly "five" group can see the obvious dead weight of social players. Those four clearly have to be doing something wrong to start out this way.
Obviously I am not writing ANY of them out (except Wil TBH), so we'll have to see if they infiltrate or have already infiltrated the alliances going on. One or two of them can definitely get far depending on how fast the alliance turns on itself.
In other news Neda won the POV! Was glad she beat out her nominees. I thought Gina would have it, but Luke surprised me. He isn't as terrible in competitions as we thought. That is probably sealing his fate this week. I don't have to deal with the drama of Brian going up and one of the least social players is likely to get das boot.
I actually would prefer Gina out. I think Luke and Gina both like me about the same, but I'd give the edge to Luke. For some reason I feel I'd be at the top of his list of allies despite never saying anything. I think it's because he wants to get in Rancey pants.
