Helen, please go to the Diary Room.
CuzCarynSucks .
Boogie was evicted by a vote of 4-3. As you were one of those 4 votes, it could be said that you were the deciding factor that sent him home. How did you feel about seeing him walk out the door?
7:22 PMHelen (BBCharm)
I mean, I did feel really bad, but I probably should have cared more than I actually did. Janelle and Boogie were both the driving forces that kept me in the game, so I really should have been looking out for both of them more...but they're really not in my inner circle.
7:23 PMCuzCarynSucks .
Who would you consider to be in your inner circle?
7:24 PMHelen (BBCharm)
Definitely Elissa, Gina, Ivette, Chima
7:26 PMCuzCarynSucks .
And why are these 4 in your inner circle?
7:27 PMHelen (BBCharm)
This is the alliance I'd like to make and go to the end with. They're all strong, and I feel like I can easily make F2 if by just pushing the target on all of them. Gina's a queen, she'll be evicted over me any day. Ivette is a strong social player, Chima is very out there, and Elissa would be my F2 choice.
7:28 PMCuzCarynSucks .
After Boogie had been evicted, there were only 11 housemates remaining. That meant your immunity was over, and HoHs were no longer required to nominate housemates in pairs. How did you feel about these changes to the game?
7:30 PMHelen (BBCharm)
I felt like the game had really begun. I've been waiting for this moment to really start playing the game and I was so excited that now is the chance to do so. Nobody's safe and most of the house trusts me, so I'm in a great position.
7:31 PMCuzCarynSucks .
It was time for the HoH competition! What are your thoughts going into this come? Do you want to win it?
7:35 PMHelen (BBCharm)
I spent much of last week earning Gina's trust, and I knew that the only way I could possibly keep her safe was to win this Head of Household since everybody wanted her gone. She gave me her notes, though I already had notes of my own, and I studied random game trivia for about two hours leading up to the HoH. I wanted to go in there prepared for anything and I was determined to win.
7:36 PMCuzCarynSucks .
Were there any key matchups in the HoH competition that caught your attention? Or any moments where you were upset or happy that someone chose a certain person to compete next?
7:38 PMHelen (BBCharm)
I thought it was hilarious that the dice chose a duo to go first. My whole strategy was to target the duos to avoid them teaming up and not pairing each other with someone else. It was also funny when Eric paired up Ivette and Janelle, thinking they were still a duo. I was nervous going against Elissa, because she's usually pretty good at competitions, but after I beat her I knew that I could win it
7:39 PMCuzCarynSucks .
How did you feel when Ryan announced that you were the new Head of Household?
7:40 PMHelen (BBCharm)
I was ecstatic! This is my first HoH win EVER, so I was pretty pumped that I could finally control what happened in the house. Plus, I got to finally play in the veto!
7:43 PMCuzCarynSucks .
When you first won HoH, was your mind already set on noms? Or were their other names floating around your head as well?
7:44 PMHelen (BBCharm)
My mind was basically made at that time. I knew that Gary was an easy choice because of his activity and Sallie severed a lot of trust with people by being an idiot and voting out Janelle for the hell of it.
7:45 PMHelen (BBCharm)
People tried to convince me to nominate Gina and I just told them I might backdoor her since she's such a competition threat, though I never intended to backdoor her and wouldn't have.
7:45 PMCuzCarynSucks .
Who asked you to nominate Gina?
7:46 PMHelen (BBCharm)
Janelle. It's no secret that Janelle and Gina are out to get each other in this house, and Janelle was campaigning hardcore for her to go. Even though Gina was one of the main reasons she stayed in the house last week.
7:47 PMCuzCarynSucks .
So after you made your nominations, Sallie flipped out a little bit. How did you feel about her outburst?
7:49 PMHelen (BBCharm)
I was actually laughing the entire time. She had an entire paragraph saying how she could tell someone to "suck a fat dick if she wanted to", and another paragraph basically outing herself as a floater and criticizing people who aren't floaters. I wanted to make a sassy comeback SO BADLY, but I knew it would be better for my game to victimize myself so I went around to people telling them how bad that rant made me feel.
7:50 PMHelen (BBCharm)
It honestly didn't hurt whatsoever since there were literally no insults. Just a bunch of drunken bullshit.
7:50 PMCuzCarynSucks .
At the POV Drawings, Will, Eric & Chima were randomly chosen to compete. How did you feel about this? Who do you think would and wouldnt use the POV?
7:51 PMHelen (BBCharm)
I was very nervous about those three being chosen. I had no idea who was close to who anymore so I was sure that any of them could have won that PoV and used it, which I desperately needed not to happen. I knew that in order for my plans to work flawlessly I would need to win the competition and keep my nominees the same.
7:52 PMCuzCarynSucks .
When you saw the POV Comp was all about breaking the POV out of jail, what did you think your chances of winning were?
7:54 PMHelen (BBCharm)
I was so pumped. I knew the viewers at home would think it was rigged for me to win because it was SUCH a Helen challenge. I'm great with mental puzzles, just not the visual kind, and I knew I could power through this competition in a breeze.
7:55 PMCuzCarynSucks .
So how did you feel when Will beat you by less than a minute!?
8:00 PMHelen (BBCharm)
I was so annoyed and embarrassed. I know I could have done that competition in less than 15 minutes, I just made really dumb errors. Like, for example the first clue. I knew all of the digits from my studying but I thought that since I didn't vote the round Poopdeck was evicted, she had 7 votes. Trying to figure out what she did wrong really slowed me down. Then, when I saw the riddle on the next clue, I knew the answer immediately, but I was an idiot and skipped over the part that said it had to be in all caps. Then, for the cryptogram, I thought that by completing it I had to find ALL of the letter/number combination so I was trying to find out how I could logically deduce the numbers and letters that weren't present in the puzzle. For the maze, I had it all in the right order, but when I was tracing through my orange went over the I and I didn't see it, so that also slowed me down. That, coupled with the fact that I chose tinypic to host all of my images which resulted in me watching constant advertisements, really made me lose. I solved that falling phrase puzzle in record time. I didn't even have to look at the letters below.
8:02 PMCuzCarynSucks .
How did you feel about Will holding the power? Did you talk to him about his decision?
8:05 PMHelen (BBCharm)
After Boogie was evicted, I told Will I had his back and he said he had mine as well. So, while still pissed that I lost due to really dumb mistakes I made, I was very hopeful that he would come to me and we could make a decision together. We talked it over and he told me that if I wanted him to keep the nominations the same, he would.
8:06 PMCuzCarynSucks .
Once the PoV was not used, what were you thinking? Who did you want to go home and why?
8:08 PMHelen (BBCharm)
I really wanted Sallie to go home. Gary can be manipulated a lot easier than Sallie can, and I knew Sallie would be gunning for me hard.
8:08 PMHelen (BBCharm)
I was certain everyone would also want Sallie to leave
8:10 PMCuzCarynSucks .
And how do things stand now?
8:11 PMHelen (BBCharm)
It seems like Gary is the target, but things always change in the Big Brother house! I told Gary what he has to do and say if he wants to survive this week, and I'm constantly throwing Sallie under the bus, so hopefully Sallie will leave this week. If she doesn't and Gary goes, I don't really care as long as she doesn't win HoH
