DAY 4 TRUST CIRCLE + HOH

Holy crap, how did I not get nominated? I spoke briefly with Dua and offered her a similar deal to what she offered me yesterday when I nominated her. I won't be putting her up on my HOH. My first goal there is to build a relationship with her, as I know she is on the other side of whatever the house looks like right now. The other goal is that *I* don't have to nominate her later... I'm sure someone else will.

I posted my list earlier for some cash, but I have revised it for this post. My loyalties are largely the same, though I am more weary of Pope and Michael.

This is all pre-Veto. Maybe I'll be up on the block after and my final diary room will be from the grave. Who knows?? But for now, I am safe.

My current list stands at....

1. Veronica Mars - We have a final 2 and literally share every single thing. She's definitely my most trusted houseguest without question.
   
2. Skeeter - We have bonded pretty well. I am pretty sure they are a veteran, so I like being close to them. They are looking out for me and I am looking out for them. I'm really bummed he is nominated. I tried my hardest to get Christian not to do it and its likely going to hurt my relationship with Christian and/or Skeeter in the future, since I am close to both.
   
3. Johnny - We connected right away and have kept that up. There seems to be some tension with him... I am trying to figure out what he is actually doing, but for now he is #3. I'm also upset that he is nominated, but I know he has less close allies and if I had to lose someone this round, I'd rather it be Johnny. Sorry Johnny in the future!
   
4. Hange - truthfully, they were lower on my list before the HOH. The fact that we could work together and compromise was a big deal for me, so I hope we can continue that. She must be a vet.
   
5. Jackie - she has been nothing but nice to me. I know that she probably has some stuff going on around town, but I do trust that she has my best interests at heart moving forward.
   
6. SZA - we spoke early on and have kept it up. She's not in any of my major alliances, but I would say that she is my favorite friendly.
   
7. Scooby - We have been close in a couple groups. I wish we were closer, but I can tell they have a few other people ahead of me on their list. Hoping that we can get closer and Club Cool Kids works out wit them.
   
8. Christian - He's cool... I am only close to him cause others were and he ended up in the alliance. I trust him to a certain extent. Guy just won HOH and I'm proud of him. The fact I got so much face time him was telling, but in the list Michael posted today, he has a lot of other side hustles going that I wasn't privy to.
   
9. Pope Heyward - He seems nice. We brought him into the alliance because he was weaker than others and I think that is going to pay off tenfold. Not too pumped to find out he and Michael are so close in so many things right now. But he's in an alliance with me and I'll handle him if I need to later.
   
10. Michael - He's a cool dude and needed a raft; I threw him a life jacket and he's been eternally grateful. I like him a lot and trust he has my best interests at heart. But does he? He literally posted a list today that was like a DR leak. He shouldn't have done that and its really tarnished his reputation. His hands are in too many baskets. He'll drop more if he proves that he's untrustworthy.
    
11. Hottie - I like her a lot but she HAS to be doing something that I'm not aware of. Too many people are spooked. We just started a room together. She come back to me with the best info on Dua, so if she is being transactional, I can be too. She rose a lot today because of that info she shared with me before noms.
    
12. Red Fraggle - honestly, I feel fine with them and they should be likely higher on this list, but they haven't been consistent enough for me to rely on them. Also nominated this week, I will likely push for them to leave in order to save Johnny and Skeeter.
    
13. Robin - We chatted early on and made a room together. She is nice, but people get weird vibes from her. Not 100% on her intentions, but I wouldn't be scared if she was the HOH.
    
14. Rob - He has a lot of friends that are also my friends, so I don't necessarily distrust him, but we aren't close enough for me to say "this guy is 100% on my side." We made a room today and we are going to chat more. Hoping to get closer to Rob as it is obvious he is a vet and on the other side of the house.
    
15. Kelly - We speak from time to time, but its so surface level that I have absolutely no clue what's going on with her in the long run.
    
16. Dua - I am not a HUGE fan, but some of my friends are. She seems genuine, but I literally just nom'd her, so I imagine that will bite me in the ass at some point. And it DID(n't.) I thought when she won HOH I was a goner. We still have a veto to play, but if it is used and I'm NOT the re-nom, then I know Dua and I will have a beautiful relationship and she will go higher on this list.
    
17. April - She is close to Adam. I have had some convos with her, but if anyone is on the "other side of the house", its April. We chatted some today but its all lukewarm.
    
18. Adam - Dude is weird. I know we are like "working together" but its hella transactional. He was spooked when I was spooked and came to me. I think he might not be as well tuned to the game as I thought he was.
    
19. Klaus - I'm not particularly close to them. I think they are gonna be on the block a lot this season. But I have like nothing going with them.
    
20. Stefan Salvatore - I haven't had a great conversation with them and I honestly think they are up to no good. Like below, they would have been nommed. He is on the block and will likely be my vote, unless its clear he is leaving and I should target a second nom instead.
    
21. Madison Beer - I mean, we haven't spoken more than twice. I really think she is up to no good and I want her out ASAP. If it weren't for compromise, she would have been nommed yesterday. We chatted some today but I'm convinced we will never be close.
