To Eric, Bob, and the whole house

Got a lot of stuff to do today, so not active -

I've said this to a few people in pms already, but I'll say it publically as well. Eric & Bob - you have been so gracious and respectable throughout this whole thing! You guys know it was strictly game. Ik how nom'ing yall over inactives must feel, and tbh definitely doesn't sit 100% right with me. Ik you both obviously had no clue I'd nom you, but we never talked or interacted at all. After I won, I also didn't receive a message from yall, when most of the house(even people I had never spoke to, which was like half the people lol) did message me. It was a bit of a red flag on my end. Regardless of whether you guys are evicted, I hope we can have a convo at some point. you guys have tremendous character and are funny dudes

Did I think of nominating inactives? Of course. That was the unstated "plan", right? Yay, let's get all 20 actives to work together to increase the $$$, and then get rid of the Joes ?
Many people in my pms advised me to nom inactives. It was safe, I agree...but I nom inactives, they get evicted today, and I can't compete in tonight's HoH. Then what? Well, ya boy Joe is likely first boot or at least a nominee I think there are big alliances. I think people know each other's identities. I think there is collusion. All based on speculation, and obviously nothing can be confirmed, so let's not even argue about that! Just me guessing based on 0 FACTS LOL. We will see at the end! Idk any of yall, I'm not even from bb twitter lol. I just saw this game on my newsfeed and was like yo im down jajajajaj.

I still haven't talked to several people in the house. It's a two-way street, ik. I should reach out at some point, but it's exhausting for me to have conversations with many people. I like to have thoughtful and real conversations, not shallow one-liners lol. I digress jajajaj. Anyways, I'd be dumb to think that after inactives leave I'm not an easy ass nom.

Am I still an easy ass nom? LOL, yes, that hasn't changed. Nothing's changed for me, except for in the last 12 hours so many people actually reached out and even talked game TO LIL OLE JOE EXOTIC. idk if I'm in a better position personally, but I would be playing for 20th if I went after inactives. I feel I have a better chance to move forward honestly, even if marginally. I believe that someone from a solid alliance is going to go home today, and that helps people like me

All love

joe exotic jajajaj

No worries, Joe! It's just a game. No hard feelings here. (And, truth, one of your people reached out and told me you were nomming me so I saw no reason to reach out and change your mind as they made it very, very clear I was the target.)

I'm good, tho. Like I said, all a game. I have met some of the MOST amazing people in here and I loved it.

And, speaking from the heart because I have nothing to lose, I do not personally know anyone's true persona nor they mine. It will be a fun surprise.

Peace!

Like I said, no hard feelings at all, man.  After all, we're just a bunch of pretend people playing a pretend game.

Note:  I will show active today as the forum is on and I am checking in from time to time, but we had a death in our family early this morning (suicide) and it's a bit of a shit show here.  And, while I have lied about many, many things while playing the game, I would never lie about something like this.  Suicide Prevention is a cause I take very seriously.

That said, I hope the tigers eat you tonight.  

Much love, man!

Thanks, dude. I'm most worried about his kids. He has two, and they are older, so it's shit. He broke up with his wife - my direct relation - a few months ago and it's been a rocky break up and he's been drinking like crazy and has been arrested and in jail and the list just went on and on. I'm not entirely sure he even meant to do it as he had been sending her threats for a long time now. I think he was massively drunk and he was going to send her some photos and shit just went wildly out of control and there was no way to stop it. We're gonna take care of them, though. That's what fam does for fam.

Oh Eric I'm so sorry to hear this. I have no words.
I cant possibly know how your family is coping through this loss. If theres anything I can do or if you need to just talk, I'm here.
Take care man..

Joe. You're one crazy ass person

No wonder why Carol Baskin hated you

Lmaoooooo. The game has officially started


Eric I am so sorry for your loss

Sending you love

Take care, Eric. It's not easy to have trust in everyone on here and let them know what you are going through.

Keeping you and your fam in my thoughts and prayers

Thanks, everyone. Like I told Joe in email a bit ago, we're okay because my family is built outta concrete. We got this and those that need the love and support will get it in spades. We're gonna be okay. <3

mad and respect to you, Eric

sending you and your family prayers

Back atcha! <3

I’m sorry for your loss Eric.

Woah Eric man sorry to hear that! Hope you and the fam stay strong this and nothing but love for you and your fam Iyour right we all need to bring more awareness to suicide especially in times like these when we are so isolated . This is why I really tell people to let out all ur thoughts to someone when you are feeling depressed cause that has really helped me in the past.

To the topic at hand, Joe (and Annalise):

I didn’t reach out because I thought we were still going for inactives, and I didn’t want to be the kind of player that runs to kiss the HOH’s ass just because they won.

I’m sorry if that offended in any way.

Like I said, I took a wait and see approach to this and apparently that looked as though I was aloof and unwilling to connect. Apologies for that impression.

I was excited to see you here, but until now having never been in the same room for previous comps, I thought that reaching out would look desperate rather than genuine.

I was playing a room game and not a house game and for that I apologize.

And to any others I haven’t had the time to address, please accept the same apology. It isn’t personal or strategy, I just haven’t found a reason to reach out yet.
