ajmong
but even if it doesnt, im not changing my vote
i dont wanna look wishy-washy
when i talked to both jason and keesha, i told them, even if they vote oppostie of me, its not like i will think they are against me
davidlane024
Really man? That's risky, I would probably go with the house
Really, David? Ugh. I love you, man, but grow some balls. That's the kind of mentality that makes swing votes swing in the OPPOSITE way that you want them to. Gotta stand your ground, stay true to your word, and be strong.
At this point, I'm resigned to the fact that the vote will probably not go how I want. But IDGAF. 
Hey, Chima!!! BFFFOMGLOL <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

A Lesson From Dom This week, Dominic teaches you why it's silly to focus so much on "voting in the majorty," which seems to be exactly what my good friend David is doing. [/color] 1. Most people know where you stand regardless.
It doesn't matter at the end of the day, the fact that you told them the way you were initially leaning to vote already shows them that you have an opinion.
2. You look weak.
If you're not willing to stand your ground, people will remember that. At the end of the day, nobody wants a flip-flopper on their team.
3. You look like a floater.
And not the good kind. You look like the kind who just wants to please the masses. Ain't gonna work, hunny.
4. It defeats you having an opinion.
If you're going to just give in the majority, there's no way you should expect your plans to ever work. Backing down is what the other side wants, and if they stand their ground and you back down, then you might as well have just not even tried from the start.But in other news, Drew is voting out Kara. Bye, Kara! You'll leave by a vote of 7-4. I'm mostly pissed just because this wasn't how I wanted this vote to go. Kara is nice and all, but she should have tried much harder socially.
Tune in next time for "A Lesson From Dom."[/b] |

David knows my other screenname because he and I have never met before. I gave him it so that I could keep in touch with him more often when I'm not on my alias account. |

Round 2, what, what!
Kara left. Not surprised. However Wil not voting is super lame. I hope that makes him a target. He's now the houseguest I have connected the least with. We had 1 conversation, and I don't even think it lasted for 10 lines.
I really want this HoH, but with not being able to talk about it, It's honestly a tough one to really control. A few lucky picks and hopefully some intuition, but I'm not gonna hold my breath. At this point, I would prefer any of the following to win, and I think I'd be safe: David, Jason, Drew, Keesha, Joe, Rachel, James, or Daniele. That leaves Chima, Wil, Danielle as the worst possible people to win for my game. I don't THINK Danielle would nominate me, but she'd be a huge wild card. I could easily see Wil or Chima nominating me. Oh wait, Wil can't compete. Lol. So that just leaves Chima as my biggest fear for HoH. She knows (or at least if she has any brain) that I didn't vote to keep her, so she could target me for that. I haven't found her on AIM since before the PoV, so I really need to talk with her to try to at least put a good word in and make sure she knows I wasn't targetting her last week.
Aside from that, I feel like I have made good connections with the others who are eligible for HoH. Doesn't mean I'm 100% safe, but I feel fairly confident that I connected as well as I could.
If I win HoH, my potential nominees include: Danielle, Wil, Lori, Chima. These are the 4 that I have connected the least with, and out of them, I feel like Danielle and Lori are threats for winning physical comps last week. Depending on what information I received if I were HoH, I would considering the option of going after other threats or floaters, namely Keesha because I think she's a wild card. Joe seems to be more in my trust zone, even though I think he's a threat. He told me about his alliance that he made with David, so that's a plus. 
That's all for now. Crossing my fingers for my first challenge win!  |

Lol, I was in the minority for a lot of the answers. Oops. Fail.
Rachel winning isn't ideal, but it will work. In fact, if what I'm hearing is true, it should work quite well. Word on the street is that she's putting up Wil and Jason. I really want Danielle to leave this week, but I also heard Rachel is considering her as a nominee, but might fear making an enemy out of Danielle.
If Rachel does nominate Wil and Jason, I would probably try really hard for PoV to be able to save Jason, but also go to Rachel and make sure she would be up for backdooring Danielle, and asking around to see if the votes are there. I know Wil is kinda lame and viewed as inactive, so it might not be an easy sell. But if things were to work ideally this week, that's how I see them running.
But first, let's just make sure I stay off the block....
"Heeyyyyy, Rachel!"

Oops. Didn't mean to post drunk in the PoV. I think I thought I was posting on another board. Oh well...
Joe wins PoV, which should be good. Unless he wants to use it and somehow Rachel decides to backdoor me??? I don't think that will happen, but you can never be sure. I got to talk to Rachel briefly after her HoH win, but the game didn't even come up.
I need to catch my man Joe today on AIM to see what he plans to do. I hate that I fall out of the social loop on weekends...

rachelbbrf
Oh boo I'm not putting you up lol, don't even worry about it
And I also began operation Backdoor Danielle. At first Rachel was hesitant, but we got talking how we think Danielle is A) annoying B) a possible threat, and C) a shit-stirrer. All we need is 5 votes to get her out.
Dominic, Dave, Drew, James I think would be locked. Joe and Jason are major possibilities. Keesha is a maybe? I have no clue where Chima would vote, or Lori for that matter. I would throw the idea out there to Dani D too, and I have a feeling she might bite. Rachel is going to ask around, and I will be working the social scene too, to see if we have the votes to take her out. Otherwise, Rachel said she might nominate Chima with Wil being the target. Wil leaving is blehhh. I'd much rather Danielle leave. Active character or not, she's potentially going to be in my way. Take her out now while we can!

Ain't this just peachy.
My plan to backdoor Danielle is fully in motion. I mean, I think it was my plan. As far as I know, Rachel was gonna put up Chima till I talked to her. So, unless Rachel was lying to me or playing dumb, then I take full credit for this plan.
Joe told me he used the PoV bc he made a deal with Jason. Dude, that was probably one of the worst ways you could have handled the PoV. Yes, I'm glad he used it, but he didn't approach Rachel about it. I am making sure to plan little seeds of doubt in Rachel's head, making her think that Joe/Jason are an alliance, bc they probably are. If anything, I need the people outside of the "Broliance" to have targets within the Broliance that aren't me.
In other news, David is a little social butterfly. I misread him at first, thinking he would be a pretty easy win to take him to the end, but now I'm seeing he's working the social game JUST as hard as I am. That means I need to be careful that I don't get put up with him, bc it could be my downfall. Then, I'll assess later if I REALLY want to go to the f2 with him, assuming I even make it that far. For now, he stays, because I really do genuinely get along well with him and think he has my back 100%.
As for Rachel, I HAD to be close to her this week. I wasn't sure what she'd do, and yes, even though I felt safe with her, I wanted to have some sort of input or knowledge as to what was going on, and I think I achieved that. I'm still so up in the air since I know who she is. I didn't want to work with her solely for that reason, but at the same time, she's one of the people I'm "connecting" best with. Ugh. Dilemma. I'll probably just stick with her while it's convenient and make decisions as I go. She's playing it really cool this early on, and I'm not used to that. Granted, she did get a win already, which is very typical of her. We'll see. Going against her would be so pointless at this part of the game though. Why not just keep her in my back pocket for now? (I just realized it would be totally crazy if she knew who I was and was playing me too... kinda would be really ironic, but oh well).
I'm really tired. More tomorrow morning.
