Such a fucking idiot

I'm so glad that this is an online game because if it was televised then my mother would be appalled with my language! But I am such a fucking idiot! I messed the HoH comp up by posting the wrong phrase 

HOWEVER, I've been looking at other peoples post count and Cody is over 1000!!!! If he makes no mistakes then I can't see anybody overtaking him! And he's in my alliance, and I've made a point of messaging him and reassuring him that I am still 100% for the Sharknados to go to the end! If he wins then it means I will sail right through to next week.

It's not what you know guys, it's who you know

Another HoH loss, another week of safety

So this round has been an easy one in the sense where I haven’t had to worry much because one of my allies were HoH this week. I do feel bad for Cody though because he’s had to nominate 4 people this round due to the veto being used and the HND power so he has gotten a lot of blood on his hands. But mine are clean so that’s good

So Keesha was on the block along with Sabrina and it weren’t the best situation as Keesha is one of my allies. Once Sabrina won the PoV I got really worried because the only possible replacement nominees was everybody I was aligned with other than Roddy. Alex was trying to get Kaitlin nominated and Cody was debating it also which really worried me because I am aligned with Kaitlin so it would have been an awful situation to have both of my new allies on the block together. Once I knew that Cody was debating nominating Kaitlin I knew I had to try and change his mind without making it obvious that I was trying to save Kaitlin. I told Cody that if he nominated Kaitlin, there was no guarantee that we would have the votes to get her out which would ultimately add further blood to his hands and I also told him that Kaitlin is probably closer to more people in this game so by nominating her and should she survive, then he would have her allies after him too. I threw Roddy’s name out there as a possible replacement but Cody is close to him to I knew that wouldn’t really work. Brendon was my last option so although I am aligned with him, it was a lot better to sacrifice him than see Kaitlin nominated alongside Keesha. I told Cody that Brendon weren’t really close to many people so nominating him would ruffle the least feathers in the game so as he already had a lot of blood on his hands this round, Brendon would probably be the best vote.

So I was reading the veto ceremony and dreading seeing Kaitlin’s name as the replacement nominee but it was Brendon who was nominated as the replacement. I have no idea if my chat with Cody influenced the decision but either way, Kaitlin wasn’t nominated so it was all good.

Keesha messaged me saying she had been talking to Kaitlin and she thinks we should get a group together going forward in this game. They suggested myself, Keesha, Kaitlin and Kenny. I told them I would 100% up for getting a group together (despite me already being in one, oops) and I told Keesha that I would be more than happy working with her and Kaitlin. I told her that me and Kenny have barely spoke and he may not be comfortable aligning with me for that reason. I’m not comfortable aligning with him for that reason but I did tell Keesha that if Kenny was up for it then I’d be happy for the 4 of us to work together going forward. However, I know that Angie and Kenny are close so I told Keesha that he may not be up for working as a 4 as Angie is not included. I just want to put some doubt into their minds about him because if Kenny finds out I am working with Keesha & Kaitlin, then this gets back to Angie who I’m in another alliance with, then it could really mess up my game. I am going to keep on about Kenny being close to Angie to try and put Keesha & Kaitlin off from including him in the group, because if it got back to Angie then it would be so messy for me, and I’ve managed to get through 6 weeks keeping my alliances a secret.

Keesha has the votes to stay which is good, so it means that the only people I wouldn’t really want to win the next HoH is Roddy, Sabrina and Kenny. Kenny winning wouldn’t be such a bad thing if he is part of this new alliance but I just can’t see him being up for it because I know him and Angie are close.

Also, speaking to Alex last night and he is convinced that whoever wins HoH is probably going to nominate me. I told him that it would be good if me or him could win the next HoH and he said ‘if it happens it happens’ but he feels he is in a good enough position right now to still not need to win HoH. He said only Kaitlin would nominate him, hmm, I think Alex thinks he’s in a better position than he is because speaking to people like Keesha & Kaitlin, his name doesn’t get mentioned as somebody they speak with or as a possible ally. We have a great relationship where we can literally take the piss out of each other for hours on end on AIM, but he genuinely thinks I’m rubbish at this game. He told me that he was VERY shocked last round that I weren’t nominated by Keesha! Haha I weren’t Zander

So I was thinking and I’m the only person left in the game to not win a competition but still not be nominated. Now I’m not claiming to be Dr Will or anything but there’s a reason for that. I think it’s only myself, Alex and possibly Kaitlin yet to be nominated but they’ve both won a HND competition ensuring their safety. I’ve gotten to this point without being nominated despite being vulnerable and having no power keeping me safe. I guess I’m doing something right. I know from the outside I’m probably seen as the underdog because I am awful at the challenges but I think I’m doing well considering.

On another note, I’ve made the jury too which I’m really happy about! At the beginning of this game and seeing how good everyone else was and active, it got me a bit worried that I’d be an easy boot due to my timezone and stuff, but I think I’m doing well. As long the Sharknados don’t get wind of my new alliance, and vice versa, then I should be good. Ideally I’d like to win the next HoH because I have people left in the game that I could target without turning on my allies. Surely it’s my time to win the next HoH as 7 weeks in without winning a thing is slightly embarrassing, I feel like Jocasta!

Eviction Vote #6

So although this round 2 of my allies are nominated, this vote is quite easy as although I did have an alliance with Brendon, nothing really came of it and our conversation was minimal. That being said, I vote to evict BRENDON.

Goodbye Messages

BRENDON: Hey Brendon I'm sorry your reading this and you've been evicted from the game! I was one of the people who voted you out and I am sorry for that because we did have an alliance, however, we didn't speak an awful lot despite being aligned. That being said I do really like you and I'm sorry I had to evict you this round! Hope to play with you again soon.

KEESHA: I really hope you're not reading this Keesha because if you are then I have no idea what went wrong! I have loved getting to know you in this game and really enjoyed playing with you. I really doubt you will he reading this but if you are evicted just once we had started getting closer then I won't be a happy Topaz! But you're safe anyway so this doesn't really matter!
