Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen

Casino Night was last night and I ended up winning more money than I had anticipated by essentially doubling my money twice in Craps. Once I saw the payout was extremely favorable and the odds are unlikely to score less than 12, I knew I had to go balls to the wall. It ended up working out because I could buy the immunity idol which could grant me safety whenever I feel like I am a possible nomination, which could easily happen. My biggest fear would be April winning and this would guarantee my safety if she happens to win. I want to believe that I would be fine with anyone else, but who knows? The most important take away from all this is that nobody else can play this immunity idol. The immunity necklace is something that can easily be flushed out, and the quarantine power is not exactly the most reliable. So I have the strongest immunity and I don’t think I necessarily fear being nominated by most people but having the power to strip that away from anyone else is more than reassuring.

So if I win HOH, my biggest fear is someone pulling out the quarantine power, because TWO people can do that. Obviously not the most exciting aspect so now I have to worry about becoming Head of Household. I would not be surprised if someone holds onto their Quarantine until the mystery HOH either.

Okay so I had two people use the quarantine power, Dua and Rob, and one person, Beast, use their immunity, and it’s hilarious because all three were good with me this round. So this means the only person left with immunity is me, but people already know about it so I have to be cautious. I ended up winning Head of Household, and my biggest problem I needed to worry about was handling it in a well that was not detrimental to my long term game. Obviously Skeeter and April would be upset to a degree (which turns out they weren’t which sucks because now I feel bad ) so I needed to make sure I didn’t upset anyone else. The less people mad at me, the better. I need to hold onto my immunity as much as possible. Ideally I’d like to use it at the final eight and get myself to the final seven which is my highest placement in this series, but I also wouldn’t oppose using it at the double eviction first round. This round it seems like nobody is pissed at me, which is exactly where I want to be. So as I get into the final stretch of the game, I need to worry about two things - one, how I am going to plan out the perfect boot order so I can get people evicted without them holding it against me and two, how I can make sure that likability doesn’t become a liability. If I become TOO likable then people might feel threatened. My ideal goal is becoming close to people so they wouldn’t WANT to evict me, but that also dances on a dangerous line as well. The closer I become to people, the more they’ll feel betrayed if and when I do turn on them.

What a mess of a round. Hottie won HOH and tried to backdoor Beast, but Beast should be lucky he has a loyal ally in me because I would have thrown to Skeeter and have him backdoored. But I learned my lesson from the Robin incident and I refuse to let an ally go home because of my recklessness. Hottie is getting all upset because I would not use the veto on Rob. PLEASE. Her relationship with him is extremely sketch and it’s funny because I actually would have voted to keep him if she didn’t tell me to save him. And then he comes to me with “oh I think Hottie filled you in right?” BOY. I am not afraid because I have an immunity idol AND BEAST has the mystery HOH. I just hope he’s not evicted next round!! That would be the worst for sure.

That was an intense eviction. Hottie just showing she loves me

Christian is acting really sketch.

Veronica admitted Scooby was turned off by my vote flip.

I don’t know who to trust but Hange and Beast now.

Also LOL @ Skeeter being sketched by me using the extra vote and then backtracking. THATS NOT MY FAULT LMAO

So the double eviction happened and everything went according to plan. Rob was evicted over Skeeter, Hottie was blindsided in the first round, and then Beast became the mystery HOH and took out Dua. I was all on board for keeping Dua in the game until she blatantly lied about her vote and to me that was a dealbreaker because all she had to do was be honest and I would have tried to flip the vote. Everyone was scared of her too but I didn’t care.

So now we approach the final eight and I have an immunity idol plus I have an extra vote.  Everything expires this round so let’s just say I am super stoked that I am immune from a round where pretty much all the extra votes and nullifiers will likely be used and can easily flip a vote. There is literally no incentive for me to win HOH right now, since I get a pass anyway and I can vote and make my double vote count.

If I did happen to win HOH, I would definitely nominate SZA and Skeeter, since SZA is the one I speak to the least and Skeeter has already been nominated by myself, so it doesn’t make sense to nominate anyone else. So if there’s an opportunity to make sure they aren’t evicted at the final eight, I will try to make sure of that so they can be easily nominations for when I do come into power. And I guess Scooby can be my backup.

Hange did approach me for a final two and well I already have one and I’m not going to make unnecessary lies. I did try to phrase it where I sound interested so hopefully they accept that. Do I have any intention of honoring it? If you asked me a few days ago then absolutely not, but given that Scooby has already shown he doesn’t trust me 100%, I feel like I don’t have many options for people I can actually work with until the finals. Also, Hange is almost as hated as anyone else here, so there’s that.

So here are my thoughts on the remaining cast -

Beast Boy is the ideal final two but he’s also played an incredible game and I am also low key annoyed he went to brag about the mystery HOH after we told each other it’ll be our secret. He wants the credit for himself I see.

Christian Hubicki is someone I do trust and he hasn’t really given me any reason yet to not trust him, plus Hange likes him so maybe we can use that to our advantage. I don’t think he’d take out one of my more immediate threats (Veronica), but maybe he can shake things up.

Hange Zoe is someone who offered me a final two and I’m fine with them taking out my opposition. If I have to cut their throat at the end, oops. But if they happen to win final Head of Household that wouldn’t be the worst thing either.

Scooby Doo is someone I actually tried defending many times but decided it would be best to be doubtful and hate that I am enabling Hange and Beast. You could have been brought to the promise land but I cannot trust you. You’ll have to go eventually.

Skeeter Valentine is someone I need out sooner than later because he’s clearly someone Beast wants to drag along and I do not have time for that. It’s too dangerous going into a scenario where Beast has all my best friends surrounding him at the final five. Do you think I’m high?

SZA is the ultimate pawn and she’s always napping but I don’t really trust her or talk to her so it sucks. I do think she’d end up getting the boot if she remains on the block but I do not talk to her enough to NOT put her there. Ugh this is difficult.

Veronica Mars needs to go sooner than later because EVERYONE seems to trust her - Beast, Christian, Scooby. I need her to pick a side and I need her game to be exposed so she can get the boot. Unfortunately I cannot be the one to nominate her but I need to find the right person who would do it.

So if I had to list my ideal boot order
8th - Veronica
7th - Skeeter
6th - Scooby
5th - SZA
4th - Christian or Hange
3rd - Hange or Christian
2nd - Beast
1st - Me
