Jury House

Jake won HoH? Really? I reaaaaaally don't like him.

Things are deffantily heating up and it should be intresting to see how this week pans out.

I think Jake goes after Dereck.

[paulfriendship]

Yeah things are getting very interesting. Derrek has a 90% chance of being nominee. I don't know about the other nominee though.

[Deleted]

I think he does after Christian and says "you nom'ed me, I am going to nom you".

[Rallentando]

Knowing Jake like I do, Joner was likely his target this week. Christian will now become public enemy #1, with Derek falling to a potential backdoor if needed.

With that said, I don't see Bryson making it through the week if he remains on the block. Joner wants Jake out, and Derek (should he remain off the block) will want anyone that can help take down Jake still in the game.

Joner won immunity in the comp so he can't be touched.

[Rallentando]

That's why I said Joner was his target. Jake. Is an odd fellow. Even though you'd expect him to go after Derek, he is crunching numbers and figuring out what is truly the best move for him. To him, he knows Joner is gunnino for him, and he so he wold want to get Joner out above all. But he can't this week, so it is plan B for Jake.

All I know is this should be an interesting week. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens.

Just a reminder to all members of the Jury that under no circumstances are you allowed to either talk game or share information with any players still in the game. Nothing has happened yet (nor do I expect anything to happen), but last season ended on a sour note because two Jury members shared information with active players, so I wanted to remind you all of the rules that exist.

So it's either Bryson and Derek are joining us. Who do we think it is?

I think Derek is joining us. I think everyone is aware of how big of a threat he is and u think he gets the votes to evict.

[Rallentando]

As much as I want to see Derek here, I think Bryson will join us. Then again, we might get a tie.

Joner is gunning for Jake, and Christian is playing his own game, beating at his own drum. So I can see Joner voting to evict Bryson (to keep someone who wants Jake gone in the game) while Christian votes to evict Derek (a threat). Leaving Jake to break the tie. In that case I'm fairly certain he'd send Derek packing. But I've had this feeling all week Bryson will join us. No idea why.

[Deleted]

But it is only 3 votes this week. A tie can't happen. Based on your plan which you set out, Joner is the swing vote and I think he goes Derek.

[Rallentando]

I honestly forgot Gabe was still in the game. So yeah, Derek will be joining is.

So, let me be the first to say, welcome Derek!

[paulfriendship]

Welcome to the jury Derek.

[Derek]

Hi, guys.

Well, Cody, you didn't hold back on here, and I didn't expect you to. I can understand why you would be upset. Victim's not really the word I would use to describe what was happening. The bottom line is: ten years changes a person, a lot. My personality was a lot different in Big Brother 1 than it is now. But, a lot has happened in life, since then, and sadly, my insecurities work their way into the game. I wish people would not look up to me as a player they want to resemble in this game. I told Jake in one of my messages, if you could see me in real life, you'd laugh and wonder to yourself, "Really, this is Derek?" It's true. I'm not an amazing person in life, either.

I knew that voting you out would hurt Jake, but I just believed that I needed to separate the two of you because you would take each other to the end. I saw no scenario where the two of you would take me to the end. I am sorry for hurt feelings, but the game is the game. I know that Jake has been through a lot, and while you did note in your address that maybe I should quit the game because of how I was feeling, have you ever thought about telling Jake that, as well? That maybe a break from playing this game would be good for him, too? He has played year after year, and has had things happen to him, and obviously he is letting the weight of all of that affect the way he plays the game, too. And maybe if that gets him to the end, great. But, honestly, maybe he needs to take a break whether he wins or not this season. I'm not mad that I lost the game, I'm not mad that Joner turned on me. That's the game. But, I really just feel my actions were game related. Jake's actions of blocking me on Facebook were personal. He may have his reasons, but the way we would respond to certain situations are different.

I just take great issue with the fact that Jake would block me on Facebook. Even if the two of you would have betrayed me and voted me out, I never would have done something like that. I'm just tired of losing friends, tired of being part of drama in my life. I don't take this game personally, it's only when this game reaches into real life that it becomes personal. When Jake blocked me on Facebook over this, it reached out, and I didn't like that. And sadly, all of this just came at a bad time in my real life, too.

I'm not a victim. Don't paint me as that. There's just a lot of history between Jake, Cody, and I in these games.

The collective thought of the hosts as well.
