Week 3 DR

[Deleted]

I wrote everything here over the course of he week, with each section being my reaction to some of the events of the week.

So in the Price is Right HoH, I am thinking gee I think I am doing well. A got bottle of wine for $20 and a Diamond Ring at Walmart for $200, I even found a golf cart for $2. Nothing is too expensive and I am thinking, I can win this.

Then I see the results and I am like "What the fuck?". How did someone get the whole shopping list for $270. I need to find out who this is, not only to play the game, make sure I am safe, ect but to find out how to get deals like that next time I go shopping, because I am clearly a shopping chump when I am paying almost $400 for a X-mass tree.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So I get nominated by the secret HoH? Like again, I have been through this before. If this was "get nominated the most", I would be winning. Of course I am paranoid, I am being targeted and I don't know who it is. It is like being shat on by a bird but then not seeing which bird did his business but then not being able to get rid of ... actually that comparison is making less and less sense as I am going on.

I don't know why we were nominated but have a feeling that whoever nominated me either wants to use me as a pawn to get Van out (seams likely, he is doing decent in the comps while I am not) or to drive a further conflict between myself and Van (as he nom'ed me last week). Whatever the reason, this HoH is for sure trying to make move. Why else would s/he nom the likes of myself and Van (two active and participating players) over the some of the quieter players this early in the game?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I find out from both Joner and Gabe that Luci was the HoH (as they won prizes from the Gift Shop which let them find out who won). I was sort of shocked to get nominated by her (I thought we had a good thing going) but at the same time I am not that surprised. I have been calling Luci an unpredictable power player from Day 1.

Luci seams to be someone that the HoH power would go straight to her head.

Dr. Doctor. We may have a serious potential case of HoHitus.

So, can I get an "I told you so" here? Still I hope I can stay in the game either by winning the PoV or the House Vote as I would be interested in getting her voted off.

So this week is the season finale "Pick Your Poison - America's Vote for the lesser of two evils", also known as 2016 US Presidental Election and this week's Chens Comp had us predict who would win the election. Given my poor performance in previous Chen comps

Matt: I think Scott is getting evicted and Justin will get HoH.

Julie (on BBOTT): Nealey, you are evicted from the Big Brother OTT House
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Julie (on BBOTT): Danielle, you are the new HoH.

Matt: For the chocolate selection, I will take Whoppers. Among everyone that I know, no one hates Whoppers, right?

Joe: Matt, whoppers are the worst. You loose 10 chens

I really need to make some chens to give me options in getting powers from the Gift Shop in future weeks.

In the comp, I was the only one to pick Trump to win, which meant that I got the 100 Chen pot and that probably it is probably the only reason why I am happy to see a Trump result (the reason would people vote for an escapee from the Psychiatric ward at the umpa lumpa general hospital is beyond me. ). By my estimates, I should be the richest person in the house which does put me in an advantageous position. Not that I am braging or anything.
~~~~~~~~~~~
In the PoV comp I worked like a machine. It was just the type of comp which needed to have a methodical system and be organised to work out the answer with ease. I am so glad that I won and saved my ass.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So after I Veto myself, Luci gets nominated. This is a hard because they are both power players and I like them both personally. But I want to keep Van, I have a better connection on a game level with him and I can drive a bit of a feud between Gabe and Van.

So the vote should be interesting to see how this vote goes. I have been talking some people in the house to gauge how this vote will fall and to subtly instil a belief that both of the nominees are power players and both have got to go.

Given everything I know about everyone. I think the votes will fall as follows
* Gabe - Van (but given the talks we have been having, I wouldn't be surprised to habe a Luci vote here)
* Joner - Luci
* Sam - Luci
* Me - Luci
* James - Luci
* Christian - Van
Everyone else, I don't know.

1. I loved how the week paned out and who knew it would be possible to say that in a week where I got nominated. I won PoV to save myself by beast-nodding through the comp, I won 100 Chens, I got a massive threat and potentially the person who nominated me voted off in Luci (if the later case had happened, Luci would of had self-nominated as a result of not naming a replacement nom by the deadline).

1. Um, I am shiting myself that returning players are in the house. Based on their performance in their previous games, they played amazing games and that fact is scary. Not only that, but they have that in-common and that will bring them together and a powerful alliance of 3.

After the reveal, Derek came up to me, as I assume he did with everyone in the house. I have to put on a happy face act nice but deep down I am like "wow, you are smooth, no wonder why you won season 1". I gotta get you out of here before you infect everyone with that velvety smoothness you are laying down.

3. No not really. I haven't been evicted so by that metric, whatever I am doing is right.

4. Probably Joner. Out of everyone in the house I talk the most game with him and I probably trust him the most which means would likely vote to keep me if I am nominated and at those big end-game evictions (final 6 onwards), where each individual voter has so much power, having one guanenteed vote on your side is a big thing to have. Especially since my aim in the game is about self-preservation and giving myself the best chance to get to the Final 2, where I can say whatever I need to convince the Jury to vote for me to win the game.

5. I just want to get the returnees out. I don't care which one of them go, I don't care who is the HoH that does it, I just want them to go.
