Episode Two

[Angie Swindell]

I think I did pretty well in the HoH, except for question five, and maybe the one about bedrooms if there's some guinea pig antics going on and they included a room that hasn't been revealed in the count, like the have not room.  I don't really care that much about being HoH though, so I'm not that hung up about it.  If, though, someone else answers those questions I got wrong faster than I did, I think I'd stand a good chance of winning since I answered the ones I got right fairly quickly.  I think that with the current way the house is, I should be safe no matter who wins, although I'd prefer it to not be Natalie, Sabrina, or GinaMarie, just because I'm not entirely sure what they'd do.  Same goes for Roddy and Cody, although I think I have a better relationship with Cody than Roddy.  Anyways, I feel like I should say something about Ronnie and Ronnie leaving and whatever, but I really have no opinion on the matter.  He wasn't around much at all, then he quit or was eliminated or whatever the official wording is going to be.

I'm not really sure which episode the alliance formation falls under, so I separated it by things that happen before and after the Ronnie announcement.

After my conversation with Topaz, I went to talk to Alex about the alliance and make sure it was all in place.  Also I just really like talking to Alex, so I got a little sidetracked, but luckily Topaz had debriefed him so he actually brought up what she had said to him to me.  After that we went off topic again for a while before we tried to come up with an alliance name.  He wanted the Hundred Acre Wood Gang, which, while isn't a bad name, it's not that good a name.  Although, now that I'm thinking about it again, it does have a nice ring to it.  At least it's better than some of the names other people have come up with.

Alliance Convo:

Alex:
Sooooo Topaz said something to me about an alliance
Angie:
yea she brought it up to me too
what do you think?
Alex:
I mean it sounds good

Alex:

Alex:
Kevin talks to me constantly
Angie:

Alex:

He doesnt want Jee asian D
Angie:
maybe he's a size queen
yea I've never had a problem talking with kevin either so idk whats up with that
Alex:
To be fair though I understand semi of not bringing Kevin in
Cause he probably will be the hardest to beat
Angie:
yea i could see that
Alex:
Ya from what im aware of is everyone gets along with him and he is pretty good at challenges
Angie:
yea very true
he might very well already have something with other people
Alex:
Probably but its hard to tell cause before Topaz said that to me
I thought he spoke to everyone alot
Angie:
I'm sure he does
he's always online
Alex:
I know right
Its crazy I could never been online that much
Angie:
maybe he has a mobile app or something
Alex:
Or he is a WoW player
Angie:
haha or that

Name Convo:

Alex:
If it is a real legit alliance technically we need a name
Angie:
any ideas?
Alex:
Hmmmm
Angie:
maybe something about diversity
Alex:
Awkward I was thinking of "The hundred acre wood gang'
It is where winnie the pooh lives
Angie:

Alex:
That is straight where my mind went too
Angie Swindell's icon

Angie:

Alex:
I know this name will never stick and we will end up changing it but atleast now we know what characters we are
Incase that somehow comes up
Angie:
who knows maybe it will
i feel like we should make a group chat too
Alex:
We need everyone on all at once to make sure everyone talks at first
Which is nearly impossible with Topaz schedule
Angie:
thats true
maybe a group pm then
Alex:
I was not even aware you could even do thopse
Angie:
no you can do that
although you have to set it to send together and everyone will be in on it
at least i think
thats what it looks like
Alex:
I will die laughing if it just sends it to everyone in the cast
Angie:
hey alliance people
send to all
im gonna talk to jee first then try to set it up
and not to everyone lol
Alex:
Alrighty well I will see you tomorrow at some point
Have a goodnight Angie!
Angie:
okay goodnight

OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE I WON HOH!!! I'm super super happy I won, especially since now was really the best time I could have won for a while.  This week should be simple and easy and Natalie should be up and out and I shouldn't have to ruffle anyone or cause a stir.  I love, love, love my room, its literally perfect.  I can only hope that I get a new picture of Tom Daley every time if I win HoH again.  That alone is motivation enough, I think.  For right now, I'm sitting on talking to people about nominations because I want to see what happens with the House Next Door competition.  I think I'm leaning towards Jenn as the other nominee, she isn't that social and I don't think anyone else would have a problem with her being up.  If for some reason those nominations fall through, I don't know what I'm gonna do really.  Maybe I'll put up Roddy or GinaMarie, or even Cody although I'd feel bad about putting him up.  Shockingly enough, Sabrina decides to start talking to me all buddy buddy now that I won, but I made a deal with her that I'm safe if she wins either of the next two HoHs.  If anything, I trust her less now, but whatever.

House Next Door Competition:

Round One: 28 Tokens
Round Two: 27 Tokens
Round Three: 45 Tokens

[Angie Swindell]

Oh, and I wanna send Jee if I win.

[Angie Swindell]

I forgot the tiebreaker: 400 Tokens

[Angie Swindell]

I was talking to Jee about our group and he is starting the think Topaz is going too fast too soon and being paranoid and this and that and it's kind of annoying because we literally just became an alliance.  He actually used the word liability to describe her and how when it gets to the four of us she should be the first to go.  He needs to take a deep breath, and not attack our own alliance until it gets to win we have to.  He also filled me in on the fact that there is another alliance right now of Keesha, Sabrina, and Kenny, with Kevin and Kaitlin also maybe being in it.  Apparently, Keesha had asked Jee to join, which is good for us if he can double-agent and tell us what their plans are.  Anyway, later Alex confirmed that Kevin is a part of an alliance with Sabrina and Kenny, which means that they have some solid competitors on their side.  I think that our next plan as a group is to try to pull in some more people, mainly Cody and possibly Brendon or Roddy.  That should boost our numbers to the point where if we had to we could make moves on the other side before they get a chance to make moves on us.  Regardless, it's pretty crucial that one of wins the next HoH or things could start getting difficult for us a lot earlier than I anticipated.

[Angie Swindell]

Apparently I'm pretty amazing at counting, because in the veto I managed to get three out of four answers to the exact number, which kinda makes me wonder which one I got wrong. I didn't want to win the veto, but since Natalie was coming dangerously close I felt as if I had to, and now I'm just hoping I don't put a huge target on my back.

[Angie Swindell]

Okay, some major changes have happened to what's going on in my game today.  I guess major might be overdramatic, but whatever, things have shifted.  Cody has accepted to join the alliance of Alex, Jee, Topaz, and myself, and we have decided to call ourselves the Sharknados, with Jee being Tara Reid because he's addicted to Tylenol or something.  Second, Alex and I have set up an "alliance" with Brendon, to keep him close and ensure us another vote for whenever we decide to make a move on the other side of the house, namely Kevin, Keesha, and Sabrina, and possibly Roddy since apparently he is close to Keesha and if this alliance she had been setting up happens then Roddy might be involved.  I would have included Kenny and Kaitlin on that list, but Alex came to me today and let me know that Kenny came to him to propose a four way alliance of me and Alex and the two of them.  Apparently, Kenny does not trust Kevin at all anymore, and thinks he's too close to too many people, which raised concerns for Alex and me as we don't want to move into that position, considering that if this alliance is real we are both now aligned with over half the house.  While this might come back to bite us, I'm hoping that we'll be able to influence nominations and evictions for at least the next few weeks to secure our footing and ride it through to the end.
