Janelle's eviction was unanimous and unsurprising. I'm sad to see her go, because I do think she would have been more loyal to me in the end, however she was frankly not worth campaigning over. At the HoH competition, my strategy was to bid high on the questions and rack up as many points as possible. Unfortunately, I got most of the answers wrong, and Ivette went on the win HoH. I was happy for her because of our close bond and alliance, though her being locked in an alliance with Will made less options for her nominating. I knew that Eric and Sam were going up as I knew that Sam was a big target in Ivette's mind. And she's right; he's so under the radar that he can float himself right to the end. It's smart to get him out of the way, but I think it's even smarter to go after the duo of Chima and Eric. When I was picked for the veto, I knew that I had to win it. Chima winning would be the worst case scenario, as the nominee would then have to be someone in our alliance. To everyone's dismay, Chima pulled out a win in one of the hardest competitions of the season. No surprise; she pulled her partner Eric off the block. Elissa was originally going to go up as the replacement, but I wanted to make her feel welcome and a crucial part of the alliance so I offered myself up as the pawn. I know that I definitely have Gina and Elissa's votes so I'm safe no matter what, but it should be interesting to see how Chima and Eric vote. This vote will definitely show where people's loyalties lie.
