Diary Room Entries #3

[Rhian]

Dan left unanimously. Another unanimous ouch! I'm happy that Dan left because for whatever reason I found him more of a threat than Bart at the end of the day. I believe it came down to the fact that Bart and I actually spoke alot during the week and talked about trying to save him, gathering votes, and campaign strategies to help him secure votes. Hopefully, that'll give me brownie points if he were ever to get in power, but he could've just told me what I wanted to hear to help him stay. But, it was more than what Dan would have ever given me! I'll have to take what I can get and keep moving on.

The next Head of Household competition is extremely important. There are so many allegations of alliances being thrown around the house. Sam is saying Steven, Eric, and Bart could be involved in something, Eric is running around saying Amanda, Helen, and Jade could be in something .. it's just one thing after the other. My strategy now? To just try and sink back this week. I was a big focal point last week being the Head of Household, so I think it'll be good to just take a step back this week and observe. These housemates spreading rumors about each other can only help, as I don't believe there are any circulating about me? So, I'll instigate and play these people against eachother.

Once we got a teaser about what the challenge would possibly be, I told GinaMarie and Faye about the almost identical challenge from the first season. I figured that only two boxes would be revealed, and one would be kept secret. The girls were upset because it looked to be a luck challenge, but with the coordinates known, this implemented strategy. As an alliance, we went over how to approach it; exchange boxes with only the trustworthy, get other allies to spill other people's boxes, and have others target the boxes you received. I hope it plays out the way it should, and I hope one of my girls can pull through and win this. I would love, love to put the key around their neck!

There was so much drama in that Head of Household competition. I'm happy that I wasn't part of it now. While everyone else pointed fingers of blame, saying someone leaked their numbers, and what have you, I sat on the sidelines and kept my hands clean. The competition had it's highs and lows. One low being that GinaMarie and Faye got into it, which is really unfortunate. I think they made up. The last thing I need is the Femme Fatales having their own issues and then fracturing and not being a tight unit anymore.

When the challenge came down to Jade and Sam, I wasn't super thrilled but I wasn't unhappy either. It could have been worse and it could have been better. It was pretty much a given that Jade was going to win the competition because she was next to post a coordinate, but then after being on magically all night and posting on time, she suddenly disappears when she needs it most, and Sam wins the power. She threw it. I don't care what anyone says, but I really think she threw it. That's the way it looks no matter how you cut it.

After handing the key over to Sam, I had headed off to bed. Apparently, alot of drama then went down regarding Steven. He was running around saying people gave his numbers away and that people were out to get him, then was blaming the hosts and throwing fits. The worse part came when Sam had apparently told Steven and Eric that he was nominating them; this according to Eric. Steven Daigle had finally cracked. He ended up quitting. I'm not sad to see him go. He was definitely a target of mine moving forwards, so he made it easy.

Ugh. I'm torn on winning Temptation this week. At first, I wanted to win. I did. I had voted myself and GinaMarie. However, as the day progressed, I realized I didn't want to put myself in the position of having to be given the option of being tempted. I always second guess myself, and I felt like being given the opportunity would psych me out and make me uneasy. I changed my vote. And of 'course, I ended up winning it anyways. I guess a pro is that people like me enough and want to see me have it. But, I feel like the bad outweighs the good.

I was faced with five doors. Two had already been opened by Peter and Ed. There were three left, numbered from one to three. I knew that if I was going to open a door, it was going to be the third one. Three is my lucky number, always has been. I eventually decided that where's the fun in not opening a door!? Not everyone is going to be given the chance, so I went for it. Am I going to regret it? Possibly. I still don't know what it is. I won't be told what my prize or punishment is until the end of the week, near the beginning of next week.

Sam ended up nominating Bart and Faye which is gross. GinaMarie, Faye, and I already knew Faye was going up because Sam was telling us his plans. Sam has told both GM and I separately that his target is Bart, and he has also told Deana that. I don't think he'd lie to three people. What's odd is that he didn't put up Eric. Eric had told me that Sam told him and Steven he was nominating them, and then Eric is now safe and had his key pulled first? It's weird. Something just doesn't add up and it does make me nervous in the house right now.

[Rhian]

Did Sam really just go and pick Amanda to play in the Power of Veto? Gosh. Sam really makes me nervous. I feel like he has hands in almost every honey pot in this house. From being nominated the first week to being Head of Household now, and in the spot he appears to be in, it's a little insane. It didn't help when Deana told me how Sam proposed an alliance to her and told her to get close to Faye. It also didn't help that GM came to me and told me that Sam proposed an alliance between him, her, and Ed. He's playing hard. The more I hear, the more I watch Sam. His target is growing larger and larger.

It's really bugging me that I don't know what my prize or punishment will be from Temptation. Everyone in the house keeps asking me what it is, and I keep saying I'll know by the end of the round. I don't want people to think I'm lying or withholding information from them. I also have a fear that I could be a target this week as a replacement considering nobody knows what my Temptation result is. I voiced this to GinaMarie and she told me I was just overthinking everything and being paranoid. She's totally right. I am. However, I don't think you should ever feel safe unless you have power in this game.

In the house right now, the people that I think will be great to keep around for my game are GinaMarie, Faye, Helen, Peter, and Deana. Those are the five I definitely feel the most comfortable with as of right now. I waiver with Amanda, Jade, Ed, and Eric. I've always had suspicions that the three Australian housemates were aligned, which wouldn't surprise me considering the last competition and who was left near the end. On top of that, I've been watching their online patterns, and they've all gone away or signed off back to back a few times. It's just sketchy is all. I'm just going to keep my guard up.

The Power of Veto came down to Amanda and Deana. I really thought Amanda was going to take home another win, but Deana managed to scrape by a few seconds and take it home. I'm really glad that Deana won, because I know that she wouldn't use the Power of Veto on either of the nominations this week. Amanda on the other hand, I know would've wanted to remove a nominee so that Eric could go up on the block. But after talking to Peter last night, he told me that Sam seemed like if he had to make a replacement, it wouldn't be Eric. That's definitely something interesting to take note of for now.

Last night I got to talking with Amanda and we decided to make a group alliance. It all started with a chat log that she had pasted to me that Judd had showed her. It was a chat between Steven and Judd, how Steven was warning Judd of all the potential alliances in the house. Give me a break. Why are we still even talking about Steven? Next. The first person Amanda and I recruited into said alliance was Helen, obviously. We both like her. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Amanda and Helen already had something going on. I felt very third-wheel as Helen joined in on the conversation about the alliance.

As we talked more about the alliance, Amanda kept getting more and more eager, wanting to add more people. It felt like she wanted to add the whole freaking house to the alliance except three or four people, which are the people she wanted to see leave next. While this discussion was taking place, I was telling GinaMarie what was going on, and telling her to talk to Amanda to get involved. It couldn't have worked better. Amanda eventually brought GM up to Helen and I and GM was then invited to the alliance making us a foursome. This will be good cushion for myself and GM to ensure we make it farther. The targets seem to be Judd, Eric, Bart, and Deana. However, I'd swap out Deana.

All in all, this alliance is just a cushion to make it easier to navigate through the Pre-Jury phase. There are no plans to stay completely loyal to this alliance until the end, as I don't really want to see Amanda stick around for the long haul.

[Rhian]

Bart and Faye are the final nominees this week. This vote is an easy decision for me. I have loyalty with Faye, so I will be voting in favor of her staying. In fact, I think a majority of the house will. There's no way that Bart is going to stay this week unless something completely drastic happens. Bart isn't as social as Faye and doesn't have much to offer. Bart was an okay guy in the house and I really do think it's great that he's still online and campaigning to stay in the game, despite acknowledging that it's a losing battle. Perhaps it won't be another unanimous vote, but if it was, I wouldn't be surprised. We'll have to see.

I'm very anxious now that this week is coming to an end, because that means whatever my Temptation was, is finally about to come into effect. I have absolutely no idea what it is. I've been hearing ideas from people in the house about what it could be. I think it's definitely something house-related. Perhaps a change in the format for the week? Some think it's me picking the next Head of Household, some think we'll be divided into partners, and others think I'm not going to be able to participate in any competitions. I just hope that it's something good. I need something good. I'm praying for it like crazy.

Moving into the next week, the people that I feel absolutely comfortable with winning Head of Household are GinaMarie, Faye, Amanda, Helen, Peter, and Deana. I would absolutely hate it if Judd or Eric won Head of Household. More so Judd. I just really don't like him. Sorry in advance to any of you that actually like him, but he's just awful. He's a hillbilly and I genuinely can't stand anything that comes from his mouth. When he attempts to flirt and you regretfully have to engage, it's like you're asking to get roofied. He's a total creep and I want him out of this house as soon as possible. Like, seriously. #IDoNotFeelSafe
