Keepin' Track w/Judd

[Judd]

WEEK 1
HOH: Steven
Description: Trading Britney albums (7)
Nominations: Jen vs Sam
Veto: Steven
Description: Backwards spelling
Veto Used: No
Evicted: Jen (13-0)

Thoughts: I pretty much predicted this. Jen was just too quiet at the get go. BB is a social game. She tried to use the fact that we knew each other from past games to get me to keep her. I don't love that tactic. Plus I think I have a side alliance brewing with Sam. This was a good week.

WEEK 2
HOH: Rhian
Description: Majority rules
Nominations: Bart vs Amanda
Veto: Amanda
Description: Houseguest shadows
Veto Used: Yes
Replacement: Dan
Evicted: Dan (9-0)*

Thoughts: I am so stoked. A little surprised Dan was unanimous, but this could not have worked out better.

*Ed, Sam and GM were "on vacation" and could not vote.

WEEK 3
HOH: Sam
Description: Breaking boxes
Nominations: Bart vs Faye
Veto: Deana!
Description: Timed puzzles
Veto Used: No
Evicted: Bart (10-0)

Thoughts: Our third unanimous vote. It seems like everyone is still playing nice and not wanting to draw attention to themselves. I did not want Bart to go because he would have been the ultimate pawn, but Faye was too well liked. I have to start re-thinking things a bit.

Oh, also Steven quit this week!

WEEK 4
SURVIVOR WEEK!
Rhian used a temptation and switched the game to Survivor. This also gave her immunity.

Immunity 1: Sam
Description: Voice recognition
Immunity 2: Helen
Description: Britney in the Box
Evicted: Eric (8-3-1)*

Thoughts: What a mess of a week. Everyone was fair game, alliances were revealed and I luckily could play up my Deana vote to our fight, which everyone heard about. Sparks finally flew in the house. Game on!

*Deana - 3, Faye -1

WEEK 5
HOH: Amanda
Description: Creepy baby photos
Nominations: Ed vs Sam
Veto: Faye
Description: Wrecking ball flash game
Veto Used: No
Evicted: Sam (6-1)

Thoughts: This one sucked. The stupid "Aussie" alliance rumors totally ruined my alliance. My first commitment was to Ed, so I voted Sam. Faye pretended to change the vote to Ed and I played along and then acted pissed. Someone did vote Ed though and a lot of people think its me. Let's see how this plays out.

*GinaMarie did not vote due to temptation

WEEK 6
HOH: Ed & Rhian*
Description: Posting endurance
Nominations: Amanda & Faye
Veto: Peter
Description: Watching video and putting scenes in order
Veto Used: No
Evicted: Faye (6-0)

Thoughts: Another tough choice but only because I wanted them both gone. Amanda is about the most annoying human on the planet. Faye was one of the biggest schemers/threats in the house. In the end I knew this was a rare chance to get rid of Faye, and it solidified my partnership with Rhian.

*Rhian won temptation which made her co-HOH

WEEK 7
HOH: Peter
Description: Making a comic strip
Nominations: Judd vs Jade
Veto: Judd
Description: Find the vetos (minesweeper)
Veto Used: Yes
Replacement: Deana
Evicted: Deana (6-0)

Thoughts: Amen.

WEEK 8
HOH: J-U-Double D!
Description: Recognizing quotes from eliminated houseguests
Nominations: Amanda vs Helen
Veto: Rhian
Description: Find 12 pieces of maze hidden on board; put together; solve
Veto Used: No
Evicted: Amanda (5-0)

Thoughts: This was a dream week for me, plus now our alliance has the majority and I think Peter is on my side too. Everything's coming up Judd. Gotta get GM out next.
