Diary Room -- Weeks 8 & 9

[Candice Stewart]

Week 8
-----------

So, Nick was just evicted, yaaaassss! That means I officially had a successful HOH reign! Howeverrrr, the eviction vote was 2-1. Victoria, Jackie and Nicole all told me they would evict Nick so one of them obviously lied. I go and confront all three of them. Nicole is telling me it was probably Jackie, Jackie is telling me it was probably Nicole and quite frankly I trust Victoria and Jackie more than Nicole. As a person, I love Nicole. But in this game I do not trust her what so ever. I know for a fact that Nick and Nicole were close. I at one point even thought they were the same frickin' person! So it wouldn't surprise me if Nicole saved Nick. But, just saying, that is such a DUMB move! Why would she save him when there's only three voters? It's a lot easier to tell who voted who with only three voters, like c'mon Nicole. But whatever; Jackie, Victoria and I have majority. Nicole and Zach are pretty much alone in this game. All that has to happen now is either Victoria or Jackie win HOH since Julie just announced that the revenge twist is over. i'm crossing my fingers! C'mon girls!!!

My prayers have been answered! Jackie won HOH! I am so happy! No matter what happens now, Victoria, Jackie and I are basically guaranteed final four now because it doesn't matter if Zach or Nicole win POV, as long as one of them is on the block the other person can vote the other way and Jackie can break the tie! We're basically golden and this is just amazing. I'm so happy! It's going to be smooth sailing all week long.

So at the Nomination Ceremony, Jackie nominated Zach and Victoria.  That's fine I guess, however I'd like it better if Nicole get's evicted this week. Looking at all the jurors; I think Nicole played a strong social game. If she get's to the final two I think she will win! Therefore between anyone, I think Nicole has got to go!!
 
So this POV competition is an Endurance competition! I decide to go up to at least 15, but that actually went by quickly so I decided to go up to 30... then 35. After 35 proved to be high enough I started to go down. THEN JULIE MESSAGES ME OUT OF NOWHERE! ...it turns out I messed up starting on page 2. NOOOOOOO! So basically I wasted 3 hours because I kept going even after I messed up. This. IS. HORRIBLE. Ugh, I'm just crossing my fingers that Nicole/Zach don't win it.

OHHHHH EMMMMMM EEEFFFFFFFF GEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! I WON THE POV, WHATTTTTTTTTT? Wow, it turns out I actually beat everyone... Zach didn't even do the competition! Wow. Well... YAY! I'm so happy, I'm in the final four AHH

So after calming down, I had to think over my decisions. I thought about what I should do. I decided to talk to Jackie as well.

Before talking to Jackie, I look at the Mystery Board.... and uh-oh... Nicole has three check-marks. This is bad, very bad. What if Nicole has a twist?! What if Nicole has like a rewind twist or something crazy just like Nick? Ugh, this could ruin my plans. While talking to Jackie we've come to the conclusion that it's too risky to put Nicole up for eviction. Since she has three checkmarks and a possible twist or secret power or whatever, it'd be safer no to nominate her so it looks like Zach is going this week. Just as a safety net though, Jackie & I made another chat with Nicole just in case she wins HOH or something next week. So as a rundown; I have a 'real' final three alliance with Jackie, Victoria and I. A 'back-up' final three alliance with Jackie, Nicole and I. And I don't really have anything with Zach so it looks like he's the one that's going this week.

Telling Victoria I wouldn't use the POV on her is heartbreaking, but she has to understand that it's better for everyone. We just can't risk Nicole going up for eviction if she has a possible twist or a power.

After not using the POV my decision is pretty clear. Bye Zach, really sorry.

But wait.... what?! Nicole and Jackie came to me after I didn't use the POV and told me they're voting out VICTORIA?! WHAT?  They're saying that she is good at competitions and we can't risk her getting to the final four where she might sweep all the competitions. Okay... I kinda understand. But wow, Jackie is literally going to SCREW herself. She repeatedly told Victoria that she's safe and there's nothing to worry about. But I do see what Jackie and Nicole are trying to do. If Victoria get's to the final three... she'll probably win. So this works out fine for me. I save Victoria, earn her trust while she leaves since she's a threat and Jackie screws her game over. I guess it is what it is.

I do love Victoria, I really do. She's my best friend but I can't change Nicole and Jackie's minds. So it looks like all I can do now is wait until Victoria is evicted. Hopefully this just works out for me in the end, since I saved Victoria hopefully she can see I'm upset over this. But on the bright side maybe it'll show Nicole she can trust me and plus we'll be getting out a threat in the process. Ugh, hopefully this just doesn't screw me over.

WEEK 9
----------

Alright, so we're down to the final four! Victoria was blindesided and evicted last, but thankfully I smoothed things over and hopefully she's not mad at me (I can't say the same about Jackie). Now all that counts is that I win this HOH so I can guarantee myself a spot in the final three!

This HoH competition is all about memory, over my time in the Big Brother house I created a list of all the events that happened (who won HOH, POV, KC's, who was nominated for eviction, ect). So using my conversations on AIM, I can figure out what day something happened. The only problem is, I don't know if the move-in was on the 24th or the 25th of October. So I have to take a guess... hopefully this doesn't bite me in the butt.

Time for the HOH results! Unfortunately I lost.  I ended up being one off on almost every single answer... -_- ...looks like I mixed up the move-in days. And to make things worse, Zach is HOH. Nooooooooooooooo! Ughhhhh, I knew this would have happened and now my final three with Jackie, Nicole and myself is obviously ruined. Now my only chance of staying is if one of them gets evicted.

Zach ended up nominating myself and Nicole for eviction, to be honest; it doesn't even really bother me. Nominations don't matter at the final four so I'm just looking towards this POV!

This is probably the hardest POV yet. We have to match all of the evicted houseguests so far with these, like, "clues" or whatever. I'm going back and forth and I think I have the puzzle figured out... except two people don't match. I keep getting thrown off on the 'touching on the memory wall', 'lived in social media room' (because I was never in that room, I didn't keep track!) and 'nominated in bb mini'; I don't remember that. And guess what? These three are basically on all three sides. Sooo, I'm screwed. I end up running long and time and just finish up and guess. I feel like I took WAY too long and I don't even think I did that good, ugh. I hate puzzles. Now I just have to pray that the other's flopped worse than me. But if I don't win, the only person that I think might take me to the final three is Jackie. I don't think Zach would take me and Nicole is probably upset that I took out her man, Nick... so Jackie is my only hope. I'm crossing my fingers!!!

Well, I suck at puzzle competitions, lol. I ended up coming in LAST place. Ugh. BUTTTTTT, JACKIE WON THE FINAL POV OF THE SEASON! I think I might actually have a chance to stay, I just need to get in her heard and tell her all the reasons why it would be better for Nicole to get evicted. Sorry Nicole!!

So basically, I am pleading to my Big Brother LIFE to Jackie. I'm pulling out any dirt I have on Nicole. How if she get's to the final two she'll win7-0, how she wanted Jackie out, how she'll win final HOH, all her alliances, her 'power', everything and anything that is real... or I just came up with my mind. I'm pulling out screenshot on how Nicole blamed Jackie for evicting Nick; anything in my power to make Jackie upset at Nicole. And I am telling the truth to some extent; if Nicole does make final 2 I think she WILL win, sooo; she has to go. Nicole, if you watch this back some time, know that I do love you, you were a great ally, and you were a good friend in the game but game wise I know you lied about evicting Nick and no hard feelings over what happens!

Going into this eviction I am beyond nervous. This is the first time in this game where I actually think I might have a chance of being evicted. This is all riding on Jackie. I am just praying that she does the smart thing and evicts Nicole.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
EMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I SURVIVED EVICTION!!!! JACKIE SAVED ME!!! I'M IN THE FINAL THREE, I'M IN THE FINAL THREE? I'M IN THE FINAL THREE! JACKIE, THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SOOO, MUCH! Nicole, really sorry but I'm happy that it wasn't me!

So it's Zach, Jackie and I in the final three.

Zach honestly has done nothing in this game. He's floated his way throughout the entire game. Name one big move he made... exactly! Nothing! He only just won the final four Head Of Household just recently, that's the only thing on his resume. I thinking taking him to the final two would be the easy way out, unless he's some secret gamebot 'Derrick' persona that's been controlling everyone, which would be cool but totally shocking, and well... I doubt it. He's really a non-sequitur this season.

Jackie has also done nothing except starting around the final five when she, finally, won Head Of Household... which ended up being the oh-so-lucky Deal Or No Deal. After that she did go on to win final four POV and the final HOH... so, she could be some competition. But this isn't Big Brother: Whose Won The Most Competitions. THIS IS BIG BROTHER WHERE THE BETTER SOCIAL GAME WINS. And honey, let me tell you Jackie has played a... not-so good social game. Yes, in Big Brother you're supposed to stab people in the back. But who goes stabbing every single person in the back when they were your friends and allies without even telling them?! Is Jackie TRYING to loose in a Jury vote? Plus, before the final five, name one thing Jackie has done. *Awkward silence* ............................ *crickets* EXACTLY!

Now for me, the queen of this season. Yours truly... Candi... of Candiland. I played a quite pre-Jury game, making friends and an alliance with people when I needed it. Made my own decisions for my game even when my alliance was telling me otherwise. Then when Jury started made sure I raked up the Jury votes by BFF's in the Jurors. Used my power to FLIP the game around and arguably cause THE BIGGEST and ICONIC (while Nick made the most ironic) move of this game. Like, literally, when people look back on this season in the future they're going to look back on this season and remember me flipping the votes, shocking everybody by staying, then getting out Nick who was trying to get me out. Other than that I won and put EVERYTHING in two Endurance competition's that lasted HOURS and I feel like that just proves I want this win more than anyone else. I think if I get to the Jury, I can easily convince this to them. But now the hard part is to just get there...
