Jury House

[Brett]

Yesterday I gave some Diary Room questions to the players still in the game, so it's only fair that I would give you guys some questions too.

Who are you rooting for, and why?

What was your favorite thing about playing this game?

If you could change one thing about how you played this game, what would it be?

[Derek]

Well, Gabe has showed his true colors as a human being. I am very disappointed that he would use such foul language on the forums.

Gabe, I'll say this much. I'm not going to subject myself to calling people names. I'm older, wiser, and obviously more mature than you'll ever be. If you ask me, you have no room to talk. You've done nothing in this game worthy of being called a great player of Big Brother. You will be one of the many players of this game that we will forget, because quite frankly, half the time, we forget you're even in the game.

So, you lasted longer in the game than I did? Big deal. Just cause a person lasts longer doesn't make them greater. You can make it far in this game and still be considered a weak player. And sadly, Gabe, you'll be remembered as someone that talked trash and rode coat tails, even if you do make it to the end. You're not worthy of being remembered for anything good or bad that you ever did, cause you did nothing.

Shame on you, for your words. If you have the nerve to talk to me like that, I'd hate to think how you really act and talk to people in real life. I can imagine that it's ten times worse than this. And I feel bad for you that you want to act like that. Maybe you'll never read this, cause you might make it to the end of the game. But, if you do, just know it's not going to be something that people will congratulate you for. We'll remember it because the winner actually did something smart and took one of the worst players in Big Brother history to the end and assured them the win.

So, joke's on you, Gabe.

Wow, I saw what Gabe said and that is low. Throughout the entirety of the game, pretty much everyone had been respectful to each other and he (while being unprovoked by yourself Dereck) acts childish and calls you those names.

As a member of the Jury, I want to vote for the better player of the F2. However, him saying that pretty much disqualifies him to win in my eyes. Even if he played a top-tier game (which he hasn't. If fact, the complete opposite is true of his game) I would never vote for Gabe to win. 

I don't know about anyone else, but Gabe has officially lost any chance of my Jury Vote. 

[Derek]

Gabe has absolutely lost my jury vote and he has lost my respect. I have never done anything to Gabe to deserve those comments. Any conversation I ever had with Gabe was respectful in nature. I never swore at him, never called him names, nothing of that sort, ever.

What he did is not related to the game in any way. There's no reason for using that kind of language. I'm not a perfect person: but, I haven't done anything of that nature in this game to anyone, ever. You never know what someone is going through in their life and in general, that type of speech is never appropriate, period. He took a personal shot at me for no justified reason.

Part of me wonders if that's just his response because I put him on the block. He said some nasty things to Van after Van put him on the block, but never said anything to the level of that. And the fact that he waited until after I was evicted to even post that is even more despicable in my eyes. He waited a whole day after that to say what he did.

Gabe has done nothing to deserve my jury vote before he said those words and he pretty much sealed the deal for me. I don't care what he does in this game from here on out. It probably won't be spectacular, anyways, given he's done nothing but float along in the game anyways. But he will not get my jury vote. He'll get a question about why he would be so rude and ignorant to have said what he said, but I don't really care. No reason will justify it, to me. He can apologize and I'll forgive him as a person, but I will not give him my jury vote. No circumstance will allow it. He has ruined his chance.

Yikes.

I didn't know I was so disliked. I thought I did a pretty good job of showing everyone respect for the most part. Sorry you dislike me, James.

So, on my way out, I decided to let them know that Christian will win this game if he keeps on going on, but I guess I made the mistake of leaving out an important part - "If the jury isn't bitter". I'm voting for Christian as of right now and if he escapes the F4 and wins the F3 HOH and takes Bryson, I'll definitely vote for him without a shadow of a doubt. He earned this, and if his response to my claims that he was going to win was in an attempt to downplay me saying that so Bryson/Joner/Gabe don't work to get him out, then so be it. As for Joner calling me salty, I've got no idea.

If anyone dislikes me in this game, I don't know what to tell you. I've been so meek about the way I conduct myself that I almost felt more like Tyreke than I did Jake. I've said and done a lot of things to make people dislike me in the past, but I played a completely different game this time around than I had before.

As for the eviction tonight, it had to happen. I did all I could and while I highly disagree with the comps this week being what they were, it was I who fell victim with no one to blame but myself...

and Derek.

Welcome to the jury house Jake.

[Deleted]

I liked you Jake but to be honist, given the aggressive way I perceived you to play the game, you would have been my target had I landed in power.

Anyway, welcome to Jury

As for where I am voting, I know I am not voting for Gabe. If he is in the Final Vote, my vote goes to the other person. In any other F2 combination, I would like to see what they have to say in the Questioning and Final Statements before I vote for three reasons.

1) I don't know which way to vote as of now.

2) There are often important peices of information reguarding the game which are revealed in the Finale and I want to consider that information when I cast my vote.

3) As one of the skills I view as important in this game is the ability to communicate to your fellow players. It is a social game after all and communication is vital to build those social relationships which create strategic alliances and deals. Hence I want to see how they communicate to us when we have the power in the Final Vote.

[Fratomon]

Not quite sure what Bryson is going on about in regards to Christian, but it is very interesting.

I am curious would Derek shared with him. Make no mistake, I respect Christian but I most certainly am not his buddy. I only talked to Bryson three separate times after Cody's eviction and only once before that, and never really gave him any information that could be used against Christian, I think. I'm curious to see where this goes.

Truth be told, I know I'll vote for Christian in the end if he's able to make it that far because of just how insane his run really has been so far, but ever since he messaged me post-Cody eviction, Bryson has won me over as someone I want to see win this game. I'll give him my vote against Gabe or Joner no problem,  but it'll take a lot to convince me to vote for him if Christian escapes eviction this week.

[Rallentando]

To everyone sitting there wondering what is happening... If it isn't obvious, let me spell it out for you... It's all an act.

Bryson and Christian have been playing this game together since very early on. I got confirmation of that from Derek shortly after he was evicted. These two want Joner to think he is safe, that these two hate each other... But in reality the plan is for Christian to win Veto, remove himself from the block, then evict Joner.

These two know Gabe won't win the final HOH, and they know they can make it to the end together. They want this to be some big reveal that they played everyone, but I'm far from stupid. Jake and I did something similar on Tengaged a few years back. Only we secretly played the game together knowing exactly we would always have each other's backs and not letting anyone know. We didn't stage a break up like these two are doing.

It sucks, because Bryson was really starting to look good to me, even though I never talked to him in the game. He might not have played the same game Christian was playing (which I can't endorse), but this stunt ruined him in my eyes. I never thought I'd be rooting for Joner to be smart and win a Veto...

[Fratomon]

I'd love to see them fail this plan at this point. I'm almost a little disgusted I thought this could be real, but JEEZ, you think they'd at least try to make it seem like this was an actual break up? Plus, what in gods name is the point? It's the Final Four, Joner is gonna try to win POV whether you tell him he's going home no matter what or he's as safe as the HOH. Are they just doing this literally to mess with Joner? I don't get it.

[Derek]

After watching the latest developments, I definitely think that's what they're doing. It's an act. I never sent any messages to Bryson about Christian in any negative way.

Bryson, Christian, Luci, and I were in an alliance called the Private Eyes. They're together. And even if they aren't anymore, Bryson would be making a lot of that up, cause I never sent messages to Bryson containing anything Christian told me.

Does anyone want to even try to predict Gabe's role in all of this? I mean, why does he continue to talk in such a fashion?

[Deleted]

I just think Gabe wants to play really aggressively and at the Final Vote, he will say "I played like Dr. Will and I got in everyone's head". However, in reality, he is coming across as a pain in the ass like Alex from The Glass House (#obscurereference).

Alex was such a jerk. Now this is a reference I didn't think I'd see here.

[Derek]

I remember the glass house. It was ABC's failed attempt at their own version of Big Brother. That show was ok, but it wasn't as good as Big Brother.

[Fratomon]

I'm reading up on all of tonight's events, and my god it's so stupid.
