Week 6

[Natalie Cunial]

When it got to final 5 in challenge, I figured I didn't mind who won HoH as long as wasn't Jordan. Doesn't matter how things really fall because Keesha has no vote, Jordan is autonommed. So it severely limits the ability to do significant damage. It's only matter of time before Jordan and Ronnie are tossed aside. Perhaps someone more interesting can be blindsided, but odds are rough right now.

Anyway, I just realized I'm playing a game that's very familiar for me. Last time in s2, I tried to play others to play for me - by controlling Sharon and Chelsia and then keeping Jen in check (which I should've done by taking out Chima when we had the chance - but guilt overcame me). This time, I thought I was playing a similar game, but I now realize I'm playing a Sandra game. "Anyone but me" and being "neutral" or "proactively passive". I've said it from the start, I wanted to be at the bottom of totem poles. I've somehow managed to be toward bottom of most. Just figure out how to get rid of those who don't and make my move later. But I'm purposely not aligning long term with many or making deals. Everyone still has bigger fish to fry and the longer these fish stay in - the better for me. Almost makes me wonder how much I need Jordan/Keesha to stay in for a bit longer. They don't have a vote. Anyway, I'm playing the game a bit more solidly and fluidly than if Sharon had stayed around.

We were gonna play every side possible and share information together. We were gonna take people out, but we misjudged Laura's character severely. Didn't expect her to backstab this early. That's one of my last must-get targets. But Laura should be easy to get out. She's so far outside the other alliance if she didn't figure it out yet.

Anyway Keesha's good in my eyes as long as she doesn't put me up. And preferably not Jase (although it's likely). But anyway, as long as I don't go up. Would be nice to neutralize her HoH by getting rid of someone insignificant to me though.

Also - can't wait for slop!

This should be a good week. And I like the Sandra reference

[Natalie Cunial]

I can't wait to see nominations. I see that hoh room has had a few posts so far at least.

[Natalie Cunial]

Aw snap.

This twist is nice. Jordan-Jase-Kevin-Dan as nominees and two go? Win-win for my side. And if Jase doesn't go? then I think we'll see some paring down of ancillary characters.

And Keesha puts up Jordan - ha!

[Natalie Cunial]

I know it was not her choice to do it, but still - quite ironic.

[Natalie Cunial]

I feel like this week went on forever. Anyway I didn't like that Jase and Dan won vetoes. Can't wait to see who got prizes as well. I hope that people that get evicted are found to have won prizes. Anyway, it might cheapen rest of season if it's all about the prizes.

I've been tired and out of it this week, so I didn't talk to many people. Or I think I tried, but no one responded. Either way, I was supposed to talk to people but didn't do my task. But honestly, Jen, if you did things the right way - wouldn't need to be forced to talk to people. A good player is one who reacts to situations and makes right moves - not one that is forced to act first to hold up such a fragile structure.

I feel that this season's big story line will be fall of X. First fall of Janelle, then fall of Matt, then fall of Jordan, fall of Ronnie, then fall of Jen. Who will be the final power player standing in the end?
