Wow, so since my last update, and mostly in the last 24 hours, this game has gotten turned on it's head!
Yesterday I worked a really long shift at work....from 10am-1am.....so when the challenge was announced to be starting at 6 I knew there was no chance I would be able to compete. I told my alliance, 4rgy my numbers and told them if u guys need to take me out to avoid exposing the alliance thats fine cause I'm def not gonna be able to win this one.
That was the last I chatted with anyone until later at night i checked my phone to see a message from Steven saying that our alliance sucks.
When it slowed down and I was about to leave work I checked the boards to find out that HOH was just about over. To my dismay the final 2 were Jade (someone who I would have put up) and Sam(somewhat of an unknown to me). Out of the two I guess I would prefer Sam and he did indeed end up winning. Surprisingly enough, despite not being involved in the challenge at all, I did make it pretty far.
So, now back to Steven. He was really having a meltdown once Sam was announced as HOH. He came to me really venting saying he was going to quit. He was upset with how the hosts were running the game, he was upset that people in this game don't talk enough, he was upset with our alliance for not being around for the challenge. He started to quite honestly be somewhat of a little bitch. Of course, since he was a member of my alliance, and I considered him an ally that I could trust, i encouraged him to not quit. However, he didn't seem to be listening at all and his attitude kinda started to piss me off.
He starts going on about either GM or Sam being with Helen Amanda, Jade etc because they took out his boxes and Judd's boxes first. Well, he's the idiot that gave them all his numbers! He bitched about how none of our alliance helped with the challenge and that he doesn't think Ed is with us at all. This really pissed me off because I had been at work for 15 hours and was really exhausted, and he was bitching to me about not doing the challenge?? Just because he sits at a desk all day where he can play games whenever he wants doesn't mean everyone else can. At this point I'm like whatever, he can quit but I really didn't think he would.
By the time I got home I got the official word from Judd that Steven had deleted his account. Sooooo overdramatic. Honestly, is was a shitty way to go out. At the same time he was a huge threat as a player and him quitting gets me one spot further.
So in the aftermath of Steven quitting I started to chat with Sam a bunch. He is HOH and I need to see where his head is it. He was pretty up front with me and told me that his original plans were to nominate myself and Steven, which was definitely a little bit shocking to me, but at the same time not. He said it was because he had heard that Steven and I were close and a lot of people were telling him to put up Steven. He said I wouldn't have been the target. (Which is fine, but if I was up against Steven I would have been very nervous he would have won POV and I would have ended up going home.)
He went on to let me know that with Steven quitting, it completely changed things. He was disappointed he wouldn't be able to make the big move of taking out Steven, and he would have to rethink his noms. We talked for awhile and spent a good amount of time getting to know each other, and by the end of the night I felt confident we had bonded enough that maybe he wouldn't put me up. He even mentioned putting Bart up because he seems like the one that no one really talks to.
So by the time I woke uo this morning and had caught up on my sleep a bit ad went to lunch, Sam had posted his noms. He put up Bart (as expected) and Faye. Faye had mentioned to me minutes earlier that she was pretty sure she was going up, so I wasn't completely shocked. Sam told me that he put them up up because he talks to them the least. So here we are waiting to see who will play in the POV and that brings you up to speed. I have to hope that the noms stay the same or that I somehow get picked and play in the POV so I am not the replacement nominee
Things to note:
- 4rgy has now become 3G, and obviously consists of myself Judd and Ed. I don't know if Ed truly has plans to go to the end with us, but he does profess to me that I am his main ally, and at this point I'll take anything that I can get. We had a chat last night and discussed possibly bringing in a 4th, maybe Sam or Bart (if he makes it through the vote). We decided it was best to
- Rhian winning temptation is interesting because these votes are seeming like a popularity contest, which shows that both Ed and Rhian are quite well liked the house.
