Gina Rio: (10:51:11 PM) Tbh.
Ivette Corredero: (10:51:13 PM) and sallie is apparently a pov beast anyways
Gina Rio: (10:51:13 PM) I doubt it.
Ivette Corredero: (10:51:16 PM) lol
Gina Rio: (10:51:18 PM) He told
Gina Rio: (10:51:19 PM) Helen
Gina Rio: (10:51:21 PM) my alias.

Gina Rio: (10:51:40 PM) aren't even
Gina Rio: (10:51:41 PM) my allies.
Gina Rio: (10:51:42 PM) Lmao.
Ivette Corredero: (10:51:45 PM) i mean tbh
Ivette Corredero: (10:51:48 PM) gary told me like
Ivette Corredero: (10:51:49 PM) day 1
Gina Rio: (10:51:54 PM) Nick was probably the person I was closest to.
Ivette Corredero: (10:51:54 PM) "yeah gina wins like...every game"
Ivette Corredero: (10:52:01 PM) thats not a good thing to say to somebody <3
Gina Rio: (10:52:02 PM) Yep.
Gina Rio: (10:52:05 PM) He told that to Helen too.
Ivette Corredero: (10:52:07 PM) thats like literally throwing somebody under the bus
Gina Rio: (10:52:07 PM) Lmao.
Gina Rio: (10:52:09 PM) Yes.
Ivette Corredero: (10:53:45 PM) gary's social game has really deteriorated
Ivette Corredero: (10:53:48 PM) and i know youre over him
Ivette Corredero: (10:53:51 PM) but i dont mean to shit talk him
Ivette Corredero: (10:53:53 PM) but uh
Ivette Corredero: (10:53:57 PM) hes gone from having SOME tact
Ivette Corredero: (10:54:00 PM) to just being The Worst
Gina Rio: (10:55:16 PM) Helen just told me,
Gina Rio: (10:55:17 PM) she's doing
Gina Rio: (10:55:19 PM) Gary/Sallie.
Ivette Corredero: (10:55:24 PM) ok so she confirmed it for you
Gina Rio: (10:55:26 PM) Mhm.
Gina Rio: (10:55:31 PM) She said she has to find a reason
Gina Rio: (10:55:34 PM) not to nominate me.
Gina Rio: (10:55:38 PM) So she will nominate them,
Gina Rio: (10:55:41 PM) and if anyone objects,
Gina Rio: (10:55:43 PM) her reason will be to them
Gina Rio: (10:55:47 PM) that they appeared close to me
Gina Rio: (10:55:49 PM) in the Nick vote.
Gina Rio: (10:56:01 PM) I love how I'm basically vilified and people have to pretend to hate me though.
Ivette Corredero: (10:56:24 PM) lol <3
Ivette Corredero: (10:56:30 PM) its good that youve stayed quiet
Ivette Corredero: (10:56:35 PM) because people have clearly come back around to you
Ivette Corredero: (10:56:41 PM) everybody secretly wants to be your no. 2 now
Ivette Corredero: (10:56:44 PM) myself included so
Ivette Corredero: (10:56:45 PM) lol
Gina Rio: (10:56:47 PM) LMAO.
Gina Rio: (10:56:49 PM) I would pick you
Gina Rio: (10:56:51 PM) over anyone.
Ivette Corredero: (10:57:01 PM) and thats a large reason why i want to be your no. 2
Ivette Corredero: (10:57:09 PM) youre ACTUALLY the only person
Ivette Corredero: (10:57:13 PM) where we talk about more than game
Gina Rio: (10:57:16 PM) I KNOW.
Ivette Corredero: (10:57:18 PM) i want to go as far as i can
Gina Rio: (10:57:19 PM) Same.

Gina Rio: (11:02:20 PM) Did you evict Boogie or Janelle?
Sallie Axyl: (11:02:26 PM) Boogie
Gina Rio: (11:02:31 PM) That's not what I heard.
Sallie Axyl: (11:02:36 PM) I assumed everyone was
Sallie Axyl: (11:02:40 PM) what did you hear?
Gina Rio: (11:02:44 PM) The votes say otherwise.
Gina Rio: (11:02:51 PM) And people told me you were keeping Boogie.
Gina Rio: (11:03:04 PM) Boogie said it himself aswell.
Sallie Axyl: (11:03:23 PM) I told people I was torn between keeping Janelle over Boogie
Sallie Axyl: (11:03:27 PM) which I told everyone
Sallie Axyl: (11:03:43 PM) because Boogie kept promising me safety and blah blah blah
Sallie Axyl: (11:03:50 PM) but, I knew he was after you
Sallie Axyl: (11:04:05 PM) I did tell Boogie that I wanted him to stay over Janelle
Sallie Axyl: (11:04:23 PM) which, personally I did, but I knew keeping him would hurt both of our chances
Gina Rio: (11:04:28 PM) The people that kept Janelle were Helen, Ivette, Chima, and Elissa.
Gina Rio: (11:04:32 PM) Gary didn't vote.
Gina Rio: (11:04:47 PM) Which means you, Will, and Sam evicted Janelle.
Gina Rio: (11:04:53 PM) I just wanna' know why is all.
Gina Rio: (11:04:57 PM) I'm not mad, but I mean.
Sallie Axyl: (11:04:58 PM) I didn't evict Janelle!
Gina Rio: (11:05:05 PM) Alright.
Sallie Axyl: (11:05:23 PM) Gurl, please, you don't believe me
Gina Rio: (11:05:44 PM) I don't.
Sallie Axyl: (11:05:46 PM) I sweeeaaarrrr I kept Janelle
Gina Rio: (11:05:47 PM) But that's fine.
Gina Rio: (11:05:51 PM) I'll see after the game.
Sallie Axyl: (11:06:06 PM) Yeah, but at that point it doesn't matter
Gina Rio: (11:06:29 PM) No, it kinda' does.
Gina Rio: (11:07:20 PM) I was basically shit all over and had I not won HOH, I'd be gone.
Gina Rio: (11:07:42 PM) But everything the other girls have said and showed log wise, proves to me they did keep Janelle, and evicted Boogie.
Gina Rio: (11:09:20 PM) :/
Gina Rio: (11:09:36 PM) Gary ditched the game/me.
Gina Rio: (11:09:46 PM) You supposedly voted to keep someone in that wanted me out hardcore.
Gina Rio: (11:09:51 PM) Like, do I have any real allies at all?
Gina Rio: (11:10:28 PM) Please.
Sallie Axyl: (11:10:35 PM) OKAY. OKAY. I'm a fucking huge cunt. I voted to evict Janelle and then I lied about it. I was just worried you were going to be mad and hate me and now I've made the situation worse! And, I'm not even a liar, like I rarely lie in ORGs. I was selfish, and I just have no connection with Janelle. I thought that if Boogie stayed he probably at least wouldn't nom me. I was totally looking out for my own interests, and now I feel really bad.
Gina Rio: (11:10:42 PM) Okay.
Gina Rio: (11:10:47 PM) That's fine.
Sallie Axyl: (11:10:53 PM) No, it's not!
Sallie Axyl: (11:10:58 PM) I'm a bitch :-(
Sallie Axyl: (11:11:05 PM) You would have NEVER done this!
Gina Rio: (11:11:05 PM) No, you did it for you.
Gina Rio: (11:11:09 PM) That's all I wanted to know.
Sallie Axyl: (11:12:43 PM) Bitch, I would be livid!
Sallie Axyl: (11:13:08 PM) I just didn't feel like keeping Janelle would benefit me in any way
Gina Rio: (11:13:15 PM) I mean, I might call you a prostitute in my DR, but that's about it.

[Gina Rio]

It made complete sense that the next Head of Household competition was going to be a format of Eliminator. Before the challenge, I knew I was going to have to help certain people in hopes that they would win, and that way, they'd second think putting me up in the event they did win - because I would have helped them and showed them that I wanted them victorious, and I'm not coming after them whatsoever. This is where Helen comes in. I know Helen is smart. I know she's capable of winning a challenge like this. I had gone to her and told her about my expectations of the challenge and gave her some notes that I had about all the past competitions. She herself had been keeping track, but I gave her mine aswell so she could compare to see if they were accurate.

Helen wins the Head of Household competition! Let me just say, the challenged played out almost perfectly. Ivette was my killer in that competition. She slayed the two people that could not win under any circumstance, and that was Cownelle and Will. The blonde heiffer would have put me up in an instant. I dislike her immensely, we know this, but she has to realize a big, big reason I put her up was so she would use her prize. Funny thing is, she really didn't need to use her prize afterall, because it would have tied. Oops. Sorry I'm not sorry! But with Boogie gone and Janelle's prize eliminated, that was two bird's with one stone and I would consider my week as Head of Household a success. I got everything I wanted, plus might have helped my standing in the game.

[Gina Rio]

I don't see Helen sticking me up on the block this week. She has thanked me and thanked me for helping her. She let me know that she was thinking of putting up Sallie and Gary in a way to appease the house. Basically, Helen doesn't want to stick me on the block, but she has to pretend to be against me, so she's putting up people everyone assumed to be close to me. I just love how everyone has to pretend to hate me to be in a good standing in the house. It's a little annoying, but if it's what gets me farther, than I'll play along. Plus, I could careless about Gary and Sallie at this point. They've left me high and dry, so I'm doing the same in return. I don't owe them anything. Gary has checked out and acts as if he doesn't care to play anymore and Sallie voted against my wishes last round, only to then lie about it. I'm done with the both of them.

Now, don't get me wrong. Sallie voted out Janelle for her own game, but why lie? Why lie to my face? Tell me you wanted to vote out Janelle for that reason, not lie to my face and try to get away with it. Who does she think she is? Prostitute. *Rolls eyes. However, it wasn't hard to get her to confess after a few minutes. She knew she was guilty and she was going to have to come clean. She's come clean, and I've forgiven her attempt to lie, but I haven't forgotten. I'm not going to tell Sallie that Helen is thinking of putting her up alongside Gary. I don't care to tell her. I don't owe her that information.

I spent most of the night talking to both Helen and Ivette. Both girls are people I want to go far with in this game. Helen was on my nerves greatly last round with her sadness, but she manned up and helped eliminated Boogie which I appreciated more than anything. Helen came through when my supposed "real" allies did not. Helen is someone I want to stay around for a long time, unless she tries to get me out, then that's a different story. Then, you have Ivette. My favorite person in the house. I wish she was my partner so much. I love that girl. I kept dropping alliance hints to Helen and Ivette about a powerhouse girl alliance that would consist of all the better girls in the house: myself/Helen/Ivette/Elissa/Chima. We would be dominant. However, Chima is iffy because that bitch clearly threw the HoH competition. How obvious can you be?

[Gina Rio]

How could I forget my celebration that Boogie actually left!? Thank god, too!



Boogie tried his hardest to try and stay in the last few minutes, but he should have honestly come to me sooner if he wanted a serious shot at staying. I appreciated him begging in the last 30 minutes, as his fellow opponent did not, but I just wasn't having it. Begging doesn't suit you, Boogie. Sorry, darling. He kept saying on his way out the door that I should try and work out something with Will, as we might need eachother. Right. I'll think about that, but I extremely doubt anything will come from that. Will will come for me, and I'll come for him. Nothing will let up and nothing will change, unless Will makes an effort and comes to me about it. I have no reason to discuss those things with him. He's the one that betrayed a deal that he and his partner committed to. Not me. If he wants to right a wrong, it's his move .. otherwise, he's a non-factor to me.

[Gina Rio]

Helen ended up sticking Gary and Sallie up on the block like she said she would do. To be completely honest, I knew this was what would happen. First off, it makes sense to have Gary and Sallie up because they did absolutely nothing last week. Gary was completely worthless in every aspect of the game and Sallie was lying about things that she shouldn't have been lying about. While Gary and Sallie were two people I wanted to go far with in the game and could trust on Day 1, so much has changed in the game since then and my relationship with both of them has drastically altered. I now find myself wanting to go the distance with players like Ivette and Helen who show me I can trust them instead of people I've known for a long time. It's crazy how Big Brother works. But to be honest, it's not even Big Brother, it's the fact that those two idiots tried to maim my game with their foolish actions. I can't be having that right now.

My whole game right now is about reconstructing my image, so that people don't just want to group up and take me out. After Nick left, that was me. I was going to be the girl that got evicted next and took her seat in the Pre-Jury. I don't think so. I have been trying to work my way in with key people. The two people I have been focusing on have been Helen and Ivette. Ivette says she's not a super social player, which could be true, but as I told her .. quality over quantity. She may not constantly talk to people, but when she does, they're great conversations. I know myself from talking to her. As for Helen, Helen seems to be generally liked by almost everyone in the house. Having Helen on my side will only benefit me in the long run. My goal this week with her as HoH is to tell her that she benefits from me staying, because I will be an asset to her in this game. I can win competitions and we can do what we want in the house.

[Gina Rio]

When I saw the players that were picked for the Veto competition, I felt myself grow extremely paranoid and very cautious. I wasn't picked. This is the first time in the game where I have not been selected to play in the Power of Veto. This week of all weeks. This week could be the week where I am backdoored and sent out of the game. Two people who the house perceive to be my closest allies are on the block, and if one comes down, why not stick Gina up? Why not? This is why I am trying to bond closely with Helen. I know that Ivette has told me she talks a great deal with Helen, so I'm also talking to Ivette more and more so that the two of them can come to agree that I deserve to stay in the house and that it would be smart for their games to keep me. If I can accomplish this, then I'll buy myself some extra rounds in the game, whereas I had 0 before. This cat has nine lives, and I wanna' ride it out all the way until the finale.

Will ends up winning the Power of Veto which is extremely obnoxious. I don't have a care in the world for Will. Boogie told me on his way out of the house that I should try and work something out with Will, and that we may need eachother, but I can't be bothered. If Will wants to approach me for something, then I'll consider. I'm stubborn, I suppose. Oh well. I'm not the one that backstabbed a deal - he did. And the last thing I need is him going around like Boogie did, saying that I approached him for an alliance. I'm not giving wIll that ammo, especially when I feel like i am making solid ground with the girls in the house. I'd rather work with them then risk my luck with shady Willy.

My fear about Will, is that he could use the Veto, and I could go up. I know that he would enjoy that and I think that heifer Janelle would fan herself with excitement. As if I want to give them the satisfaction. The last thing I want to see is them getting what they want. They're horrible people. Horrible individuals. They make me sick. My skin crawl. Janelle won't let up either. The bitch is making known to the entire house how badly she wants me out. Ivette has been coming to me and telling me all the nasty garbage that's been coming from that filth of a mouth Janelle has smack dab on her face. Then you even have Helen, the HoH, telling me that Janelle is trying "hardcore" to get me backdoored. Bitch, if you want me up so badly, then why don't you pick your fat ass up and go win the damn HoH key yourself? How's that for some advice, darling.

[Gina Rio]

Ivette Corredero: just. so. you. know.
Ivette Corredero: i just lied straight to janelle
Ivette Corredero: she asked me if you went up if i would vote for you
Ivette Corredero: idk if she's talking to helen or if we should be nervous or what
Ivette Corredero: i told her "it depends who gina is up against"
Ivette Corredero: bc i wasn't sure how to answer the question and idc about lying to her
Ivette Corredero: just know that you're the last person i would vote out
Ivette Corredero: i think she's just stupid. she told me that me/helen/will is all she has, but she hates me so like
Ivette Corredero: guru this shit is gonna catch up to you
Ivette Corredero: janelle is just pleading with me to get you out because you're gonna "turn this around" and then she and i can control the house
Gina Rio: Just ew.
Ivette Corredero: yeah
Gina Rio: Thank you for telling me though.
Ivette Corredero: she's like
Ivette Corredero: "ugh i think helen is being manipulated"
Ivette Corredero: naw i think helen would just much rather be around gina
Gina Rio: Ugh. Will and Janelle will probably approach Helen with the idea of backdooring me.
Gina Rio: She has to know I'm not gunning for her whatsoever. I can win competitions and would be an asset to have.
Ivette Corredero: i want to tell you not to worry
Ivette Corredero: but it's not really my place
Gina Rio: I know.
Ivette Corredero: i'm fairly certain you'll be fine
Gina Rio: Thank you though.
Gina Rio: Has Helen said anything to you?
Ivette Corredero: she told me janelle was pushing to backdoor you
Gina Rio: Janelle can win HoH herSELF.
Gina Rio: Bitch.
Ivette Corredero: lol ikr
Ivette Corredero: janelle was like
Ivette Corredero: "just think if we get out gina it will be smooth sailing for me, you, will and helen"
Ivette Corredero: and internally i was like
Ivette Corredero: that's…….not an alliance?
Ivette Corredero: and i told helen
Gina Rio: She is close with Will.
Gina Rio: She was with him and Boogie completely.

Helen Kim: Gary was being bratty last night
Gina Rio: Of 'course.
Gina Rio: He basically checked out all last week though.
Gina Rio: So, what was anyone supposed to think?
Gina Rio: I thought he was legit done.
Helen Kim: Yeah I know
Helen Kim: Please calm him down
Helen Kim: He won't listen to me
Helen Kim: I just really don't want to fight with him right now
Gina Rio: I'll explain it to him.
Gina Rio: It would've been wrong for you to nominate anyone else when he was MIA.
Helen Kim: I know. He has to see that
Gina Rio: He'll realize it and get over it.
Helen Kim: And Sallie's breakdown is the PERFECT excuse not to backdoor you
Gina Rio: LOL. I know, she was psychotic.
Gina Rio: I was like, why on earth would you say this?
Gina Rio: I feel like she's thrown in the towel ever since.
Helen Kim: I know haha
Gina Rio: I just hope Will doesn't use Veto.
Helen Kim: idk who I'll put up as a replacement
Helen Kim: It's not like everyone wants you up
Helen Kim: Ivette is all about saving you
Gina Rio: If I go up, I'll leave.
Helen Kim: I don't want you up
Helen Kim: literally I only will if it's a last resort, but it's never a last resort
Gina Rio: I'm dedicated to you, Elissa, Chima, and Ivette. You girls haven't gone against me and have shown me loyalty.
Gina Rio: Only person I'd gun for 100% is Janelle.
Gina Rio: Has anyone said they wanted me up?
Helen Kim: Janelle hardcore
Gina Rio: Of 'course. I'm so after her.
Gina Rio: I'm not even hiding it,
Helen Kim: I have to keep that guise that i really like her
Helen Kim: Since she, Sam, and I don't have partners anymore
Gina Rio: Janelle has more than likely tried to talk to Will into using it.
Helen Kim: Will just told me my noms aren't changing

[Gina Rio]

So, Will didn't use the Power of Veto. Thank god. I am so relieved. This means I just have to survive one more week in order to make the Jury stage of the game, which is my short term goal. If I can accomplish that after the roller-coaster of a ride I've had so far, I will consider it a victory. I know that sweet Helen had to do with Will not using the Veto, so my bonding and getting close with her had to of paid off greatly. I am loyal to her and I feel that she would like me around for a long while aswell. I won't be coming after her but instead after other people. Why not keep me around? It helps her. She has told me that she is only pretending to be close with the likes of Janelle and Sam, because those three have the bond of having no partners in the game. I told Helen that was a smart move and I understand if she isn't outwardly gunning for Janelle, but that I am and will should I win power. Janelle will always be my #1 target until she leaves.

What's annoying me right now more than anything else is the fact that Gary is getting on my last nerve. All of last week, Gary was absent - he wasn't interested. He checked out of all conversation, forfeited competitions, and was a general waste of space. Then, like any HoH would have done, he gets nominated. All of a sudden .. woosh .. here he is! Gary's back. He then tries to take this stance of "how dare you" to Helen. Helen was upset over how Gary was reacting, when it was what anyone would have done. He never told Helen or I, his closest allies, what was going on. What were we supposed to think? I told Helen that I was going to talk to him and see what was going on with him. Helen told me how Gary was acting defeated and how he was pretty much giving up and no longer wanting to play. He put himself in this position, and to be honest, I had a bone to pick with Gary because of him telling people how I "win everything". Gary's an idiot.

At this rate, Gary is more than likely the one leaving the house. I can see specific others, like Cownelle, wanting to take him out just because he's my partner. In reality, that weakens my game, because if he made it close to the end, there was a chance I could automatically make F2. Nobody wants that. Obviously. But truthfully? I don't care. To me, Gary has been more of a liability to me in this game than a help. His personality has been off-putting to others, he ran his mouth too much, and he can't win a competition to save his life. I'd rather have Sallie around, because she can atleast win competitions, and I know how to guilt trip her into fessing up things when I know she's lying. I hate to do it, but Gary is going. It's the way it is. I know that Helen preferred Sallie, but she told me to just go with majority and vote with the house. Sorry, Gare.

Gina Rio: Are you giving up?
Gary Levy: There's not really anything I can do.
Gina Rio: Mmk.
Gary Levy: I mean I don't want to leave but I probably am.
Gina Rio: Yeah, I think you're gone.
Gary Levy: It's whatever.
Gina Rio: It didn't really help that you exposed my alias and told people I win everything.
Gina Rio: Now, they want you out by affiliation, so.
Gary Levy: I didn't, so whatever.
Gina Rio: Yeah, okay. Whatever.
Gary Levy: I didn't?
Gary Levy: Helen ASSUMED.
Gary Levy: I'm not dealing with this.
Gina Rio: You told more than just Helen that I win everything.
Gary Levy: Who?
Gina Rio: Doesn't matter anymore.
Gina Rio: I just thought we were closer than that.
Gina Rio: But, you screwed me and therefore, yourself.
Gary Levy: I didn't screw you over.
Gina Rio: You mentioned to someone I was close to Nick too? Or no?
Gary Levy: NO?
Gina Rio: Okay.
Gary Levy: Whatever.
Gary Levy: I'm SO glad you take everyone's word over mine.
Gina Rio: Doesn't help when your partner disappears for days without warning.
Gary Levy: I know, I'm sorry.
Gina Rio: I don't want to kick you when you're down, but you really let me down here.
Gary Levy: I'm not down? I'm just annoyed.
Gina Rio: You're going home .. that's "down".
Gina Rio: You need to campaign or it's over.
Gary Levy: I don't really think you should be mad at me when Helen told me YOU were the one that told her to nominate me. And I'm not mad at you?
Gina Rio: I said I didn't care if you got nominated.
Gina Rio: Because you had seemingly checked out.
Gina Rio: And now you know why I was also upset.
Gina Rio: .. Cause and effect.
Gary Levy: Honestly I don't even want to talk about it anymore.
Gary Levy: I'm leaving and that's just the way it is.
Gina Rio: Mmk.
Gary Levy: And my closest ally thinks I'd throw them under the bus.
Gina Rio: You told people, more than Helen that I win everything, Gary.
Gary Levy: Whatever, and you'll win this one too.
Gina Rio: I won't, thanks to you. You killed both of us.
Gina Rio: I'm running on life support.
Gary Levy: Yes, everything is my fault as usual.
Gary Levy: The one person I thought could talk to, to help me stay, doesn't really want to help me.
Gina Rio: Who, Helen?
Gary Levy: YOU.
Gina Rio: Yeah, whatever.
Gina Rio: This seems unfixable.
Gary Levy: No, I'm gonna' fix it.
Gary Levy: I don't want to leave this game.
Gary Levy: I'm being irrational because of HOW much I want to stay.
Gary Levy: You're the ONLY person I trust in this game.
Gary Levy: But I don't think you trust me anymore.
Gary Levy: Right now I feel like Will would keep me safe, and you wouldn't.
Gina Rio: Dear, Will would evict you.
Gina Rio: He doesn't like us.
Gary Levy: He said that he was planning to work with you because allies are better than enemies.
Gina Rio: And has he talked to me? No. It's been days. It's fluff.
Gary Levy: Why are you trying to make me feel like there's NO shot at me staying?
Gina Rio: I want you to fight, Gary. It's tough love.
Gina Rio: I would 100% keep you if you got three other votes.

[Gina Rio]

Gina Rio: Who do you want gone, Helen?
Helen Kim: Sallie
Helen Kim: I'm trying to sway the votes onto her
Helen Kim: but vote with majority
Helen Kim: find out where everyone's heads are at
Gina Rio: If it's Gary, you don't care if I evict him?
Helen Kim: nah
Gina Rio: Okay.
Gina Rio: Gary does seem to be the boot though.
Helen Kim: just please don't let Sallie win this HOH
Gina Rio: Sallie won't be the problem.
Gina Rio: It'll probably be endurance.
Gina Rio: Janelle will be the issue.
Gina Rio: I will go days if I have to, to win.
Gina Rio: I refuse to have that bitch win.
Helen Kim: I'd love for you to win again
Helen Kim: and lock everyone out of your HoH room haha
Gina Rio: I'd invite only *some* of you.
Helen Kim: If you win HoH you should only invite Ivette, Chima, Elissa and I
Helen Kim: and we can maybe try for that alliance
Gina Rio: Yes, I love that group.
Helen Kim: We just need Ivette and Chima to evict Sallie
Helen Kim: but we both need to talk to them
Gina Rio: I'm telling Gary he needs to campaign too.

Ivette Corredero: how are you voting
Gina Rio: However you want to. Sallie?
Ivette Corredero: well chima did gary
Ivette Corredero: I told helen gary
Ivette Corredero: i voted gary
Ivette Corredero: but i'll change it
Ivette Corredero: i voted gary bc i thought thats what you would have wanted <3
Ivette Corredero: im such a loyal cub to you tbh
Gina Rio: LMAO.
Gina Rio: I mean, I don't care.
Gina Rio: Helen told me she preferred Sallie to go when we spoke.
Gina Rio: I'll vote Gary if everyone else is. Both deserve to be up.
Gina Rio: Helen just told me that she was trying to sway everyone to evict Sallie.
Gina Rio: But then told me to just vote with majority if she couldn't sway everyone.

Eviction [Week #05]

I vote to evict .. Gary.

Gary, I know that you saw this coming. I'm sorry for the way things went down, but as I told you, this thing just seemed unfixable. I really wish that you and I could have worked better as a team, but it felt like we were just .. frenemies. You had your relationship on the side with Helen, and I had mine on the side with Nick. It didn't really feel like you and I were even a duo most of the time. I would hear about you painting a target on my back, even if you didn't mean to. It felt like you were sinking my game and at the same time your own. I hope that you aren't too hurt by this eviction. I hope we can talk soon.
