Week 5

[Helen]

Eric, you don't know why you were being targeted? Here's why -- you're such a loose cannon! You were not sociable at all, you barely spoke with anyone and when you did the conversations were dead ends. And when we come up with a fool proof plan to keep YOU safe from the vote, you pull an Andy! We really did try to keep you, but then you just gave us plenty of reasons not to.

[Helen]

Okay, so every HOH in this game is important ... but this one is the most important of them all. I feel like a line has definitely been drawn and it's Femme Fatale VS The Aussies, with everyone else spectating. We'll see how this week goes ...

[Helen]

Okay, so that HOH was the hardest challenge I've ever done. Like, ever. Lol. So much for making my big move this week!

[Helen]

AMANDA WON HOH!

This is the best case scenario for me! I BOMBED that challenge like I knew I would, but the next best thing that could happen for me would be if one of my Femme Fatale's won -- and the finals came down to Amanda and GM! That's seriously amazing ... I hope Amanda has the balls to make a big move this week! Can't wait to talk to everyone post-challenge and see where their heads are at now. This is the safest I've felt all game so far. Hollar! Lol.

[Helen]

Oh snap, Femme Fatale just started our first Aim group chat ... let the conspiring begin!

[Helen]

So now I get to construct an email to my Biochemistry teacher and lie and tell him my wifi got disconnected from home and that's why I wasn't able to submit my homework online ... aka ... I was too busy talking game in Big Brother Rise & Fall 4 Ugh!

[Kat]

I'm gonna have to ban you lolol but that's cute ("I was too busy talking game in Big Brother Rise & Fall 4") but bad!!!

Okay so Amanda being HOH isn't as fun as I thought it would be ... I'm about as safe as I can be at this point, so I'm not worried about getting backdoored, but Amanda is really stressing over nominations. I have been totally on board with going after SEJ; especially Sam and Edward who are the biggest competition threats! Once again he came this close -pinches thumb and index finger together- to winning another challenge! I know Amanda wants to target Ed this round but she just doesn't know who to put up as a replacement, which is a no brainer for me -- it has to be Sam! If Amanda doesn't put Sam next to Ed up, then we run the risk of Sam being chosen for and winning Veto, and then using it to save Ed! Then BAM -- there goes another wasted opportunity to get a big player out of the house! We need to be able to make the first strike against the Aussies (a better name than SEJ -- lame!) before they come after us, and with Sam and Ed both on the block, it means that one of them will remain on the block post-Veto and will most likely be going home. Amanda compared Sam to her in relation to what I feel Peter is to me, which then made me sympathize because I really like Peter.! The only difference is that Sam is a competition threat and Peter isn't! Plus, Amanda thinks Ed and Sam are working together, so why wouldn't you want to target them! Elissa made this same mistake when she was HOH and nominated Aaryn and McCrae instead of McCranda, and I need to make sure Amanda doesn't make that decision. If she does nominate Ed/Jade, Ed will win Veto and following HOH and then go after myself for being associated with Amanda! I can't have any of that going on! GinaMarie and Rhian, however, are intent on getting Sam out. However, I'm sure if Amanda just reinforces how drastic it is that Ed goes home and Sam stays, I'm sure she can get their votes -- Rhian's at least, since GinaMarie can't vote due to her temptation twist that keeps her out of the vote and playing for Veto. I understand Amanda's conflicting interests, but I need the competition threats out of my way first. She'd be a fool if her nominations were anything BUT the two guys. One of them need to leave! It's really nothing personal against either of them because they're both amazing but I can't win any competitions if they're still here! Why doesn't she see that? She's so great to Sam because he didn't nominate her but when reason does he have to go after her? It's not like Sam was the swing vote that kept her to stay or anything!

I know! Ugh! And here I am an hour later still on OMG.

[Helen]

Oh my gosh, we're almost going 48 hours since my last post ... can't have that happening! Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to update again until Sunday evening, as I'm actually taking a break from the game and heading to Disneyland! I'll be spending Thursday evening - Sunday night at the happiest place on Earth, and when my friends are sleeping I'll sneak out of our hotel and head over to Gamestop and wait in line for the midnight release of Pokemon for the 3DS, hollar!

So this week has been pretty dramatic. Sam and Ed (Sed) were both nominated, which is AMAZING for me. I've said it before, but I'll say it again -- cute as they both may be, they're both huge competition threats! How many times has Ed nearly won? And I think Sam won two already! An HOH and the first Immunity! Plus they have the Aussie alliance (whether it be true or not, who cares! As long as the other house takes the bait that's all that matters!) rumor going on for them, so it's wonderful. Amanda confronted Ed (the story goes, Rhian told Amanda Ed wanted to get Amanda out during Survivor week) about him wanting to get her out, and he denied making such allegations. For a moment, I was beginning to wonder if a.) he's a real good actor, or b.) Rhian has some personal vendetta against Ed and is trying to stir the pot ... which contradicts my earlier assumptions of them being in an alliance ... I don't know, so many people lie in this game it's extremely hard to keep up with what's real and not. Even I forget the lies I tell people, haha! To the public eye (not sure what he's doing when he's talking to people privately) he's being very calm about it, as opposed to Sam who used the opportunity to take digs at Faye and Deana. It's comforting for me, I feel if Sam does stay and wins HOH next week, that I'd hopefully be off his radar as he would target Faye and Deana, and maybe Amanda over myself.

The Veto Competition came down to Aussie's VS Cali's, how funny! Unfortunately, Faye and I were representing Team California and we don't have the greatest track record with records (I'm pretty sure we ranked in the bottom two in the voice and baby challenge, how embarrassing!) I'm sure I didn't pull off the win but Veto doesn't concern me, I'm sure that regardless of who got it, one of the Aussies are going home and that's great for my game (and hopefully it'll be from Sed). Jade isn't a threat, lol.

Moving forward, we'll be entering the Final 10 pretty soon and I thought I'd just list off the remaining houseguests and how they pertain to my game.

Amanda: Amanda is possibly my biggest ally in the game ... maybe. As of late I feel like she is just all over the place and it's really annoying. She also goes through alliances like they're Halloween candy. One minute she hates Deana then the next she praises her like she's God and now out of nowhere she completely wants to drop Faye! She's a lot more unresponsive to conversations I try to start with her, I hope it's just something temporary because obviously I'm going to be a paranoid bitch if this attitude of hers continues. Plus, I always kind of underestimated Amanda as a player (I just thought she had a big mouth), but she's actually really good at challenges! PLUS. She put up Sed on the block! That's her big move of the season, what's mine?

Deana: Deana is an interesting character. She was on my radar early on as a pawn if I ever won HOH, on the count that I rarely spoke to her. After all that drama with the plan to blindside Ed last week, I realized that she's actually a really really smart player. Very strategic, we think alike. There's only room for one person with brains here. However, she (and Faye) are in the middle of some controversy here between Sam and Judd I guess? I want to say, the longer Deana stays, the longer I stay

Ed: On a personal level, I love Ed! He's so funny and very easy to talk to. On a game level, he is such a competition threat and the fact that he is so likeable worries the hell out of me! I would love to cut him now before he and Sam can go on an alternating winning streak!

Faye: My California girl! Faye is probably one of the most hated houseguests right now (I thought it was because of the Ed thing during Survivor week but if it's still because of that then people seriously need to grow up omg it was a good idea!) aside from Deana, so -- obviously I benefit in more ways than one by keeping her here! First off, she's one of my favorites  and I'd like to think she would keep me safe if she were ever HOH. And like with Deana, the longer Faye stays, the longer I stay And Faye's track record with challenges is just as bad as mine, so it's always nice to know I'm not the biggest epic fail!

GinaMarie: One of my Femme Fatales! I love GinaMarie, I think she's super great and I'm glad I have my Final Four with her. However, I don't appear to be the only one to like her so much! I grew very cautious of her when she didn't want to move forward with getting rid of Ed, AND she also got the most votes for temptation this week, meaning someone else is looking out for her too. And she's also a beast at comps.

Jade: I liked Jade in the beginning of the game, but now I'm pretty neutral with her. I don't have anything personal against her, but I may put her up as a pawn or something if I win anytime soon.

Judd: Judd is probably the wild card here, I never know where his head is at. I'd like to feel safe if he ever came into power, but who knows.

Peter: I LOVE PETER! He's one of my favorite guys here, I wish we talked more! If there's anyone I would want a Final Two with, I'd want it to be with him, on the count that I feel like I can trust him ... I trust my Femme Fatale alliance too, don't get me wrong -- but only to a certain extent. There are plenty of things I don't disclose with them out of fear they'll go report it to someone not alligned with me, but with Peter I can definitely be an open book. I really like him and I really hope he's not working with Rhian like I secretly suspect him to be lol!

Rhian: Ugh, Rhian ... this girl is such a mindfuck! She was one of the first people I connected with really well in the game and I'm in this Final Four with her which is great, but man ... I wish I could say I trust her 100% but come on! WHO ELSE IS SHE WORKING WITH! There has to be someone here who she has a secret alliance with or something! She's a smart lady, and if I kind of have side deals (not even side deals, they are just relationships I've developed with people out of hope they keep my safe) with some people I have to assume she's doing the same! She can EASILY win this game if I'm not careful. Plus she tells Amanda a whole bunch of things that she doesn't tell me.

Sam: I always get Sed mixed up with each other because not only do I think they're the same person in the game, but I relate to Sam the same way I do with Ed! On a personal level, Sam is great! I love talking about shows and books and movies with him, and he's kind of funny. Plus he kept me safe when he was HOH. On a game level, like Ed, he's a beast at competitions! Obviously I want to head into the finals with people I can win against, not lose to



I'll try to pop in over the weekend if more drama happens!
