Diary Room -- Weeks 2 & 3

WEEK 2 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So Allison apparently quit the game after only a few days, wow. But due to the revenge twist Frank automatically becomes the HOH, I need to talk to him.

This new King's Court competition is honestly a good thing for me in my opinion. It gives me more chances at safety without getting blood on your hands. It's a win-win!

So before the King's Court competition I was talking to Nick. He seems like a nice guy. My plan pre-season was to get into an alliance by the end of week one... and... he offered me an alliance... with Nicole! I got added to a chat with Nick and Nicole and hopefully we can final three! They're the only "official" alliance I have so hopefully I can trust them. 

The reason I was going after Eddie in the King's Court competition is because out of anyone in the game so far, I've talked to him the least. Sorry, Eddie!

I didn't win King's Court, that sucks. I really wish I could have won it but it's ok I guess. I did notice one thing though, Nick was the last person to get his picture taken off. That is a bit fishy if you ask me. I kinda almost feel as if Nick has multiple alliances with multiple people. Now that I think about it, it could very much be real. He did abruptly ask me to join his alliance with Nicole so hm, I don't know. Maybe it's just the paranoia talking but I'll make sure to keep my eye out on Nick, he's a smart player. 

So I just talked with Frank, it was a short conversation but didn't involve any game talk. I've been busy with my kids so I haven't had a chance to really talk to him game-wise. Hopefully he just doesn't nominate me.

Going into this nomination ceremony, I'm a bit scared. You know, I barely talked to Nicole last week and I wasn't nominated and I've barely talked to Frank so hopefully the same thing happens. 

Frank didn't nominate me, yay!!! He did however nominate Eddie and Nick. I was going after Eddie in the King's Court competition so this is perfect for me, hopefully he goes this week. On the other hand there is Nick who is my "alliance" member, but seems a bit shady... I don't know, I guess I'll just see what happens with the POV.

Unfortunately, I wasn't picked to play in the POV. But that's ok. I'm just hoping whatever happens the nominations stay the same so Frank doesn't have to put up a replacement nominee... that could be me.

Eddie winning the POV is probably the worst thing that could happen to me! I wanted him out and now Frank has to nominate a replacement nominee. Im praying that it isn't me. I tried messaging Frank but he isn't replying to me. :\

I am safe for the week, ahhh!!! Frank nominated John as the replacement. But now I have to think of who to evict. I know it would probably be better for my game right now at least to keep Nick since we are in an alliance, but the question is can I actually trust him? 

I ended up evicting John because I thought it was a safer route for me, he is kinda a wildcard and if he becomes HOH I'm not sure what he would do. With Nick as HOH and him and I in an 'alliance' I would hope that he keeps me safe, so sorry John!

WEEK 3

Now that Nick is automatically the HOH this week, I think I will be safe for the week. I really doubt that after forming an alliance with me, Nick would nominate me... and if he does... well... he'll be gone next week, lol. So yeah, going into King's Court I don't think I have to try that hard. It would be nice to confirm my safety but for the first time in this game... I actually feel safe!

Lately, I've been talking to Victoria a lot and I think she a a really genuine nice person. I know for now Nicole and Nick are my main alliance, but I think keeping Victoria as a potential, I don't know... Hitman type situation would be amazing. I really do like and trust her and I think she believes the same. 

So unfortunately I'm away from a computer and haven't been able to get on AIM plus Ive been busy with my kids and since I figured I'd be safe with Nick as HOH anyways, I didn't compete in the King's Court competition. Hopefully this doesn't come back to bite me in the butt.

Going into the nomination ceremony, Nick told Nicole and I that we're both safe this week since we are in an alliance so hopefully he stays true to his word.

As promised, I wasn't nominated for eviction; thank you Nick! I was however surprised that he nominated Victoria for eviction. She and I have gotten really close lately and I consider her a separate ally in this game away from Nick and Nicole so I am hoping she stays this week. 

I finally downloaded AIM on my cellphone so hopefully starting this week I'll be able to be a lot more active!

I was picked to play in the POV! I am so excited! If I win it I'll probably use it to save Victoria but this blind auction thing sounds interesting, since Nick promised me safety this week I'm wondering if I would be safe to splurge a little bit...

Going into POV, I really don't care if I win or not. I'm 99% sure I'll be safe this week so hopefully I can win some things! The first thing I am offered is Extra Extra! I automatically think that it gives you an extra eviction vote, that in my opinion, does not seem that major so I choose not to bet. A reversal probably is able to flip someone's eviction vote but I choose not to take this either. Player Gonna Play sounds tempting, but I'm not budging until something really catches my eye... and then it does. 'A Mystery', this could be so many things, who knows?! I bid on the starting price and hope I end up getting it... then... 'Another Mystery' oh man! This is super tempting! I once again bid the starting price but before I know it -- the auction is over. I probably didn't win POV but hopefully I won one of these Mystery things. Who knows what they are though? Could be something amazing... or amazingly bad. 

Nick ends up winning the Power of Veto, I feel bad for Victoria because I want her to stay, but at least Nick will probably keep the nominations the same and that means I'm safe for another week! Everyone is also saying the Jury will probably start this week so this is AMAZING for me! Then something even more amazing happens, Julie messages me... and it turns out... I GOT BOTH "MYSTERY'S" FROM THE BLIND AUCTION! The regular Mystery allows me to flip an eviction vote until the final 6, the 'Another Mystery'... makes my memory wall picture and posts pictures ugly. Gee, thanks. -_- BUT AHHHH, AN EVICTION FLIPPER!!! This is really making me interested in this game, I can do so much with this... and no one knows! I am not telling ANYONE about this, I want to keep it to myself and use it to my advantage. 

At the POV ceremony Nick does what I expected him to do, not use the POV which means Frank and Victoria are the final nominees this week. As much as I love Victoria and want her to stay, I don't think I'll use my eviction vote flipper yet, I want to keep that for myself. But here is a problem; my "alliance" of Nick and Nicole are telling me to evict Victoria. This is just great (sarcasm). Victoria is one of my closest friends in the house, if she stays and becomes HOH I know for a 100% fact she will keep me safe this week, why would I let safety walk out the door compared to Frank whom I barely know and talk to and might actually nominate me next week? Nicole and Nick are pushing me really hard to evict Victoria, I really don't know what I'm going to do. Ugh, I'm split. If Victoria has the votes to stay this week then I think I'll keep her... but I might loose trust from Nick and Nicole. I'm torn down the middle. 

Nicole and Nick are telling me they have three people to evict Victoria and I would be the fourth on the other hand Victoria is telling me that she has three people to evict Frank and I would be the fourth so it seems like this vote is in my hands, I'm basically deciding who goes home. I have to outweigh the pro's and con's. If Frank stays, he could nominate me... that's a pretty good reason to get rid of him but Nicole and Nick could find out I went against them and, ugh... it's either safety this upcoming week with Victoria as HOH or just going home possibly with Frank. I think I've made a decision.

I ended up evicting Frank and saving Victoria because I KNOW for a fact that Victoria will keep me safe on her upcoming HOH week while Frank could nominate me. I don't care what Nick and Nicole want me to do, I did what was best for my personal game. Plus they won't know I did it; one of their other two voters could have done it. I am NOT their sheep, sorry Nick and Nicole... why did they want Victoria out so bad anyways?
