Diary Room Entries #7

[Rhian]

Faye leaving unanimously was fitting. "Da's what happens." Yep, that's what happens when you try to go against people who genuinely had your back for the long haul. Now that she's gone, it was important that someone like GM won the next competition. If Amanda won Head of Household, she'd nominate Ed, and I'm not entirely ready for Ed to leave just yet. I think keeping the Amanda and Ed feud alive and well will keep the house divided into two and that's what I want for the time being. GM and I discussed her nominations and she was pretty set on sticking Deana on the block and making Deana her target.

Deana has been someone I've been hot and cold with. We've gotten along fairly well but we've always been on opposite sides of the game. There hasn't been a week in this game where we've been on the same page the whole time. She always wants something different and its proving to be a nuisance for me. Deana leaving this week would be wonderful for my game, because she's one of the players that causes drama close to the voting deadline. She's always trying to derail the plans that are already set in motion and that becomes dangerous as we get closer to the end of the game with less and less voters.

However, GM got second place yet again. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride! Luckily, the second best option won, and that was Peter. I know that with Peter in power, myself and GM will more than likely be safe. I know that Helen will probably be safe too because I think those two also have a close relationship. I expect Judd to go up on the block. When I was ripping through the "mafia" last round, there was some fallout. While Peter was the one who spilled the beans, Judd got the blame. Judd and Peter aren't close anymore [were they ever?] and I think Peter will nominate him. I have no idea about the other nominee.

Moving forward in this game for me is going to be really tricky. I've taken it upon myself to play more of a social game than anything else. If I were to win a competition, I'd be screwed. I could get away with Power of Veto victories, but Head of Household wins would expose me and really send my game to hell. I say this because I'm aligned with everyone in the house. The good thing about the majority of these alliances is that while I feel like I'm a key member in all of them, I didn't create them. You can't say "no" when you're offered an alliance, so I've said yes to the many that have been voiced to me. They are —

1. Rhian | GinaMarie
2. Rhian | GinaMarie | Ed | Peter
3. Rhian | GinaMarie | Peter
4. Rhian | Peter
5. Rhian | Peter | Deana
6. Rhian | Deana
7. Rhian | GinaMarie | Amanda | Helen
8. Rhian | GinaMarie | Ed | Jade
9. Rhian | Judd | Ed | Jade

The last one is more or less a fake one, because Ed, Jade, and I don't take it seriously. However, to Judd, we're aligned, so I have to play along in that aspect. The newest alliance I'm in is the one with GinaMarie, Ed, and Jade. Jade pitched the idea to Ed and Ed came to me about it and we agreed it would be good to go with. Looking at my list of alliances, the people I'm connected to the most are GinaMarie, Peter, and Ed. Those are definitely the three I enjoy the most. Amanda has been great for votes, but I'd like to see her go soon.

I haven't talked to Peter myself about this week, but if he's serious about wanting to boot Deana, I hope he mentions it to me like he apparently did to GM. My worry with him wanting to nominate Deana is that this week will become a mess of drama. Deana made a comment last week when Peter won Veto, saying, "Peter will do what you say and not use Veto, right?" It bugged me because it shows me that she thinks we're really close and the last thing I need is her assuming I was pushing for her to go up this week if she does, because I didn't [although, it'd still be great if it happened].

[Rhian]

I'm taking to Peter right now and he has this whole masterplan worked out on how he wants this week to go. He wants to target Deana but wants to put up "safe" nominations. In other words, a backdoor, basically. Peter has this annoying way to beat around the bush for a long time before finally reaching his point. His nominations are looking like Jade and Judd because he doesn't talk to either and wouldn't care if either left if the plan didn't work out. He's told myself and GM that he's going to tease a backdoor to everyone, so Amanda can think it'll be Ed, Ed will think it'll be Amanda, etc, and this way whoever wins Veto will most likely use it. He's told myself and GM that he's doing Deana as the replacement, but he could be lying to us too. I doubt it, but you never know.

This plan has huge potential to fall apart because people run their mouths and this could be leaked to the wrong person. All that needs to happen for this to fall apart is someone to compare notes. GM and I compared notes and he said the same thing to both of us. The second another pair compares notes and they don't match, it'll be a problem. I've already gone to Deana and she's told me that Peter has said he wants to do safe and easy nominations with the possibility of a backdoor. I told her that he said the same thing to me too. Deana isn't feeling a hundred percent this week with a fever and sore throat, so if she is picked for Veto, she'll feel safe and not try hard to win it.

There's a rift brewing between Amanda and GM at the moment. Peter teased Ed being backdoored to Amanda, and Amanda appeared concerned that Peter could have mentioned the plan to GM. Amanda has been very wary of the Ed and GM relationship. I admit, I have been too, but they're on my side right now entirely, so I have no desire to split them up as of now. Peter told this to GM and I, and GM is growing very, very annoyed. I told GM just to play it off to Amanda that she's in the dark and doesn't know about a possible Ed backdoor, because it wouldn't be realistic if she did say she was aware. We'll see how long it lasts.

[Rhian]

Judd wins the Power of Veto. He'll take himself down and someone will be getting backdoored this week. However, I didn't think that Judd would take it upon himself to grow a huge head over it. As soon as Judd won the Veto, he started marching around like he was in complete control of the round. It was weird. He started confronting people about certain things and even went as far as telling Deana that Peter wanted to backdoor her. First of all, how did Judd even know about that plan? If Peter told him, he's an idiot. Judd told me that he was going to tell Deana earlier in the day, so I went to Deana first. I told her how Judd came to me and mentioned that Peter told him that she was apparently going up, but that I didn't really believe it because of our alliance.

The reason for me doing this is to try and separate me as far as possible from this whole "backdoor Deana" plan. I think Deana going is great, but I don't want my fingerprints left all over the surface. Me going to her should show her that I was semi-looking out of her best interest and warning her of what was being said about her. When Judd went to her later in the evening, she told me everything he was saying. I played it off to Deana that I have no idea what Peter is really doing, but that he told numerous people Ed was the target, so it'd be confusing if he changed his mind and put her up. All Deana had to say was that it would be silly if Peter put her up. Truth is, I don't really know what Peter is going to do. I prefer it to be Deana over Amanda and Ed, though.

Judd's still on his power trip, saying that he's going to try and get Amanda on the block and that he refuses to post his ceremony until he talks to Peter. He was telling GM and I separately that he wasn't going to tell anyone about it. GM and I compared notes and found out he told us both about the "get Amanda backdoored" plan. Does this hillbilly think people don't talk? What a moron. GM went to Amanda and told her about it, so now Amanda is online and bullying Judd, and he doesn't know why. This guy lacks serious brain cells. I have to say, Amanda is the most short-tempered player I have ever come across. All I have to do now is tell Amanda that Deana said she would push for her to go up, since Judd said he was going to aswell; they want a united front. Deana will leave, and it'll keep Amanda and I on the "same" page after the vote.

[Rhian]

Up goes Deana! It's not really a surprise. Amanda has come to me and teased the idea of keeping Deana, which I quickly shut down. Even if I wanted to try and keep Deana, it wouldn't be a for sure thing. Amanda and I could probably get Helen and that would be three votes to evict Jade. GinaMarie and Ed would definitely evict Deana and Judd more than likely would too, making it a tie vote. Peter is now set on evicting Deana after he's already backstabbed her, so he'd send her home in the tie. It's a lost cause, and I've told Amanda we'd be hitching our wagon to a three-person minority at the Final 8, while not voting with GM and splintering the Femme Fatales in some aspects. Great excuse.

Also, Judd is probably the most stupidest player I've ever come across in this history of Big Brother. One of, atleast. After going around and telling people that Peter was the one that told him the plan to backdoor Deana, he and Peter finally had a confrontation. Peter asked to see the log where it happened, and Judd simply remarked, "Oh, nevermind. It wasn't you, my bad." GinaMarie and I couldn't stop laughing. Is this idiot for real? We told Peter to try and get the name of the person who told him, and Judd kept dodging it. He didn't want to give that persons name up. It doesn't matter anyways, but it just shows that Judd's incapable of playing this game with even a drop of intelligence.

I think that next week, one of Amanda, Ed, or Judd needs to go, and I'll make sure that everything falls into place to make sure one of those three do. The past four votes, including this Deana vote, have been what I've wanted and what GM and I conducted. My worry about an Ed boot is that GM won't ever be ready to make the plunge. If anything, I'm pretty sure GM would love for Ed and I to be at the end with her so she'd make the end no matter what. That's not going to happen. I really want Amanda gone soon, but I feel like she's the instrument I need to play in order for Ed to leave the game. We'll have to see how the Head of Household competition plays out; hopefully, in my favor.

[Rhian]

In a weird twist, I do kind of dislike that Deana is leaving. I do believe that Deana would have had my back over many of the other housemates, but again, it's not a possibility to keep her. Amanda and Helen were online this morning trying to get GM to change her mind, but she wouldn't. After all the mood shifts and changes in the game with Deana, I will rest on liking her. I've built relationships with everyone, but it's at the point where some become ineffective. It's Deana's turn. You can't appease everyone. However, I will say that she gave me trouble with the last few votes and us being on opposite ends of the strategy spectrum also became rather tedious. It's just bittersweet.

I am glad that Peter took the reigns in wanting Deana to go and that players like Ed and GM pushed for her dismissal. That puts the blood on their hands and allows me to work with some leverage when it comes to Jury management, should I make the end. I have to start playing to the Jury while still playing the game and remaining safe. It's hard to juggle, but it's able to be executed if done carefully and cautiously. I just know that after this boot, the game is going to get intense. I know Amanda and GM are deeply annoyed with eachother and everyone has a target in mind should they win Head of Household.

And, a special teaser! Everyone get ready for a Deana speech on her way out. She told me that she's going to call out Peter, GM, and Judd as she exits the house. I shouldn't be happy since two of them are my closest allies, but maybe it'll kill their games a little while mine stays consistent. I think it'll be glorious.
