Jee ended up leaving us at the end of last round. It felt nice to get the person who put me up on the block last week out of the house, but like I said I was really indifferent about it. If Angie would've left, it would have made winning some competitions a little bit easier.

I was kind of nervous for the HOH competition, because with every round they are becoming more and more important. There is only a few people in this game, that I trusted not to put me up if they won. Luckily for me Keesha was able to pull off the win, and I knew that I was good for the week. I originally thought I'd want to take Kenny to the final two with me, and don't get me wrong, I love Kenny...but Keesha and I keep strengthening our bond, and she's looking like a good person to sit next to as well. We kind of joked that we needed to keep trading off HOHs like Emmett and Jillian in Big Brother Canada. I'm not opposed to that by any means, because it would remove a lot of stress from the game.

I was a little disappointed when I talked to her after she'd won though. She was debating between nominating Brendan, Cody, and GM. While, I want her to do what is best for her game, I hated seeing three people I moderately trusted as her nomination choices. I'd much rather have seen Sabrina, Angie, or Topaz thrown in there, and I'd have sort of pushed for one of them to go up.

For the HND competition, we were given 20 casino chips, and had to divide them up between two or more housemates. We were not allowed to give ourselves any, and the person closest to 21 without going over would be sent to the HND. I was honestly amused when the results were posted. The three people who received the highest amount of chips were Alex, Kaitlin, and myself. It was clear to me that people were out to make sure that someone who had already been to the HND did not go back. I'm not sure if I should be taking this as a warning or not, that people want me out, and to be honest I don't really care. Most of these people can't win a competition to save their lives.

Kenny was the person who was sent to the HND, and I couldn't have been happier. If it couldn't be myself or Keesha, I wanted it to be him, because I knew that no matter what happened over there, he wouldn't let it effect me in a negative way. 

Keesha decided to nominate Cody and GM for eviction, and like I said, a little disappointing for my game, but I can't be mad at her for playing her own game, and doing what's best for her. The people selected to play the veto were Alex, Angie, and myself. Kenny later told me that the power he unlocked was the power to pick people to play in the veto, and that he chose me specifically in case there was a plan to backdoor me.

Unfortunately, real life called, and I was at work and not able to make a live challenge. I honestly hate live challenges during the week, because not everyone is on a normal schedule or in the same timezone, so you generally have people who miss them. And at this point in the game I would hate to have my game ended, because I had to go to work and missed an important live challenge. A few people, Kenny and Cody, definitely agreed with me on this, and it kind of makes me wonder if others feel the same way, and would be completely content with having live competitions only on the weekend.

Keesha pulled off the double this week, and won the POV. Alex won Chima's microphone, and has to scream every time he talks for a week. GM won the refatard, and has to wear a referee uniform for three weeks. Then Angie won the red card, which allows her to select one person not to compete in the final HND competition next week. That is the one that really worries me, because I have a feeling she would use it on me. I could be completely off on that, but I really don't think I am. The one good thing it has done, is given me the motivation to completely tear threw this next HOH, and make sure I win that so I am safe for the week.

It didn't take long for the POV ceremony, and Keesha obviously chose to leave her nominations intact. So now either Cody or GM will be leaving us, and I'm completely torn. I honestly believe that I can trust both of them quite a bit. They are both great people to talk to, and I think should I make it to the end, both of them would vote for me to win. I did promise Cody I would vote to keep him, but I know GM will be expecting me to keep her too.

I talked to Keesha, and she wants Cody to leave, which I understand. She asked if I was okay with doing that, and if I'd really vote Cody out, and I said I was still debating which I am. She told me that Alex is going to vote out GM, and I didn't doubt that at all, and that Sabrina was going to vote out Cody. Angie is undecided, and she hadn't talked to the other three votes yet. I haven't talked to any of the other voters yet, which I was kind of hoping to do, so it could help me make my decision, but I don't think that's going to be possible.

  VS  

Vote - I vote to evict Gina Marie
Reason - I went back and forth on this a lot, and I just feel Cody will be better for my game in the long run.

Goodbye Messages:

Cody - I will be extremely disappointed if you are reading this. I kept my word to you, and voted to keep you in the game. You're my Australian buddy, and I don't know who I'm going to talk to every morning now.

Gina Marie - I'm sorry if you're reading this, I really didn't want either of you to leave this week, but I gave my word to Cody that I would vote to keep him. The ultimate factor in my decision came down to last week after the POV, when you were blinded by your hate of Alex, that you were actually considering using the veto to put him up. This is a game where you have to continually look at the big picture, and if you have trouble doing that, you're a liability to my game.
