Yep, trying to be loyal to my alliance member and offering to throw them a comp 100% lost us both the comp. Pro BB skills right here! Watch out America, here comes Will Kirby 2.0! At least Corey's inactivity recently and just the fact that he's not really aligned with anyone means he'll probably leave no matter who the renom is. Doesn't mean I want it to be me lol

Week Two DR Questions:
1. Something that will make or break my game is probably my ability to win comps. I know my social game is decent (or at least passable) but I probably can't get to F4 without winning something. I don't want to win too much, but at the same time if I don't get some PoV's or HoH's soon I'm not gonna have a future in this game.
2. Something that was a surprise was Van's nominations being exactly what I wanted them to be. I had hinted that I wanted Gabe/Corey up but I didn't expect it to happen, especially with Matt going up for the renom. I thought for sure at least one Private Eye was going to be on the block this week. I'm definitely excited to learn we probably do hold some power with Van and I'm safe with him.
3. My social game is okay. I have the Private Eyes who trust me, plus I have Sam and Van on my side as well. I believe I've mended my relationship with Matt also, which is over half the house wanting me to stay. My only fears at the moment are James and Joner, both of which I don't talk to a lot and I have confirmation Joner sent me six scares in the HoH. I'm just hoping they see that I'm not the problem in this house and if they do try to put me on the block I can pull out comps. There's definitely people here with worse social game's than mine, but there's a lot better also.
4. Big Brother is interesting to me because it skates the line between a game relationship and a real relationship. It's cool to see whether people vote based on friendships or strategy and how the two intertwine. I also like that the longevity of the game forces people to tell much more explicit lies and know exactly how to not forget what they said, as opposed to only having a day or two between challenges in survivor.
5. Based on your emphasis on social game, I think this twist will be a third nominee, likely in the form of a house nom. (which I think you did in BB9?) I really don't like that as I could likely go up, but at least if I do get nominated I'm confident I will stay.

You guys are sadists, you know that? This twist is awful. I'm terrified that anyone not in the PE's will put me up now if they win an HoH and I'll never even know... At least 4/9 competitors in the HoH comp tonight are Private Eyes and we've all already promised to tell each other if we win. That's a decent chance that the twist won't really have an effect on me. It's just the other 5/9 winning I'm scared about... I really hope Amanda chooses a comp I can win. I know I wanted to come in and play under the radar at first but especially considering my placement in the last HoH, I can't afford to not be safe. I'm coming for this HoH hard and hoping I can get it. Ideally I can... I mean I've proved I'm decent in comps through winning the extra OTEV and being literally three seconds behind Gabe in the second veto... hopefully that will translate to a win. I'm gonna try to strike a deal with Sam, who I feel relatively safe with, and make sure we tell each other if we find out who wins also. That way, at least a majority of the competitors will keep me safe... fingers crossed!

Who has two thumbs and is freaking out??? THIS GUY!!!!! None of the private eyes won, and from what we've heard Joner swears he didn't win either. Based on his not being on since last night, we're assuming that Gabe didn't win either. That leaves Tyreke, Matt, James and Sam as the possible winners, and the ONLY one I think I'll stay off the block from that is Sam. I might have a chabce with Matt due to our talk after I voted out Corey, but honestly who knows? I'm not in a good spot right now but I'm gonna fight my ass off to stay in this game as long as I can. I'm talking to all four of them before tomorrow and I'm gonna figure out who won. I'm not going up if I can stop it, but if I do I'm gonna fight for the veto harder than I ever have before.

This twist is already screwing with the game so much... Luci just told us she won. She didn't want to tell us because she wants Van and Matt up and Van gone, which I honestly don't think is the right move seeing as Van helped us out last week. However, I'm not really in a position right now to argue with her. She's won 3/3 comps she participated in and could easily win a veto and backdoor me if she wanted to. But I'm definitely gonna talk to mike and Bryson about this. Maybe this will be how we integrate Sam into our group: by replacing Luci with him. I'm hoping Luci will come to her senses and put up someone not named Van, but if she doesn't I might have to evict an ally

I wish I could've played in veto... I'm great at list games like that. I grew up playing mastermind lol. Anyway, Matt comes off the block and I'm scared. First of all, the time between the comp and ceremony was super short. I'd be willing to bet he won the veto. That proves he can win comps if he has to, and I'm gonna be one of his biggest targets on his HoH reign. That also means Van is basically a goner. With the votes of Bryson, Mike and Gabe, all they need is one more vote to evict him since Luci is the tiebreaker. It's way too risky for me to turn my back on them and vote someone else, which means I have to evict one of my only non-PE allies. This sucks and I really don't want to do it, but it's better than having Luci Mike and Bryson all hate me. I have to vote for Van almost no matter who she puts up unless I can seriously charm them into my way of thinking... ugh.

I might've just torpedoed my game by campaigning so hard to keep Luci over Van. If she ends up leaving, which could happen if one of the care packages eliminates vote or something, Van will hate me and I'll have lost 55 chens for nothing. It's no secret Luci and I are allies now, so I'm just hoping the majority still votes Van. If not, Luci leaves and if a non-PE wins HoH I probably follow her.
I'm gonna start this paragraph off by saying I feel deeply sorry for whatever happened to Luci personally that made her not be available. I heard from Mike she had some sort of family issue I believe, and I am praying that whatever that is gets resolved soon... however, as awful as I feel saying this, it literally could not have come at a worse time. I got second place in the HoH comp, so had she not been here for that the week would've been completely smooth and the PE's probably send home either Gabe or Tyreke. Had she had to leave after a renom got placed, we'd have our four votes needed it wouldn't be a problem. So yeah, my condolences to Luci and her family but this sucks gamewise.

Excuse me while I go find a corner to cry in. Over the course of a week I went from a power position in the house to my second closest ally evicted and my first not being who he said he is. And with both Jake and Cody in the house I almost guarantee there's a Bullet Club 2.0 im on the wrong side of. (Yes I did my research on bb9. I can't survive with these two) I'm gonna work my ass off to win this HoH and put up jake and Cody because if I don't get them (specifically Jake) out of this house soon then I'm done. Any chance you guys can get me links to the other BB games you've hosted? The only one I saw was 9

Unfortunately, the site that we used for our first 8 seasons (TV.com) had all of its forums deleted about 6 months ago. However, I have created a wiki page for every season that I have been involved with (Big Brother 6 until now). Feel free to check it out. |

Week 3 Diary Room Questions:
1.) This week was awful. First Luci didn't want to put up who I wanted her to, then we had to push to send home someone I was aligned with in Van, and then she still ended up going home so I lost him as an ally in the future.
2.) Like I mentioned before, I'm scared of a Bullet Club 2.0 with Jake and Cody. However, I think I'm going to hold off on targeting them for now. Derek said he's talked to them and they haven't mentioned targeting me or Bryson so we should be fine.
3.) Campaigning so hard for Luci is my biggest regret. It lost me an ally in Van and didn't even save Luci anyway. I don't regret much else besides that though.
4.) Derek is who I would go to the end with. Only he and Bryson are loyal to me at the moment, and Bryson I think is more likely to turn on me later on. Derek is my only true ally.
5.) My goal for the next week is to make sure all three remaining privates stay safe. An alliance of three is still powerful; if none of us are on the block/HoH we get 3/7 votes, only one away from a majority. But that can only happen if there's still three of us...

YES!!!! I really wanted to get a comp win around this time and I got my wish. This could be a huge HoH for the private eyes and really my entire game in general. However, I'm starting to get super indecisive about who I want to put up. My instinctive reaction is to go Jake/Cody. They're a known pair who even came in saying, in the words of Jake, "I want to dominate this game". However, they could also be strong allies, since they're connecting to my closest ally Derek. If I keep them around, they could be exactly what I need to get Van out for real. If I do decide to keep them, I'm going to put up James/Joner as two people who aren't really threats but also don't help my game at all. In both cases, my ideal replacement nominee is Van. I think that the other side of the house is being basically run by him, judging by Lucis eviction. I'm leaning more toward the vets right now, but I'm talking to them and if they promise me safety along with Bryson/Derek next week I may keep them safe. Honestly, who knows at this point... no one, seeing as I'm the one with power and haven't made my decision lol

My head is all over the place... First of all the remaining Privates created a new alliance including Gabe, which still isn't named. We didn't tell him I'm HoH because if he knows he'll try to pressure me to put up Van and that's not my goal right now. After considering all the options, me, Derek and Bryson decided we wanted to try to save Jake and Cody and get out someone who wasn't very active (ideally James), and then we would all six of us (privates, Gabe and vets) work to evict Van the next week. However... the vets like van and don't want him gone just like every other freaking person in this house. So it looks like at the moment my best option is to make sure Van knows I was only trying to protect Luci, not necessarily evict him, and I'll put up the Bullet Club as initial noms so they can't pull each other down. If one of them wins veto I would imagine it's gonna be Van taking their seat but I'll decide that when it's necessary.
(Also don't take those as final noms, I still want to hear back from Cody about his thoughts on van before I finalize that)
In other news, I'm fairly certain Joner won the election Chen comp. He bought immunity the first week yet somehow had enough to buy a magnifying glass this week. I also learned he's tight with Derek, which I could use to my advantage later on. However, I know he told at least one other person about me winning the comp but idk who... I'm a little scared that person will end up being Van but hopefully not lol

Also for future reference, since I know she reads these sometimes, I'm not saying the Bullet Club is a bad thing Amanda  Just having two strong players, especially who know each other, like them in this house could be a huge danger to my entire alliance, especially the newbies, and if I just say the vets it implies Derek as well who I have a different opinion on |
