Week 8

[ivette]

uh, i wanted a chance to play veto so at least somebody would be excluded.

like, it's not my fault if i don't win a veto this season if i only get to play for one that i truly wanted to win, right?

[ivette]

I will say this: the irony of Chima needing to pick between me and Eric for the veto is not lost on me.

This entire week has been about her choosing between me and Eric.

[ivette]

(cuzcarynsucks) You need to pick either Eric or Ivette to play in POV
(coconutnbikini) I'LL PICK IVETTE TO PLAY. ERIC IS ALREADY SAFE
(ivette) thank you, chima!
(coconutnbikini) NP

shouldn't that tell you everything?

I made plans for the weekend and had fun. I've been off AIM for approximately two days, and in typical paranoid freak style, I'm wondering what kinds of conversations took place while I was away.

(Of course, because yesterday was a "day off" I'm sure the answer is very little, at least nothing that wouldn't have happened if I WERE online)

[ivette]

I see the veto will probably have to do with the Olympics. I hope the veto is not to survive on the streets of Sochi, because I would not last particularly long. None of us would.

If the colorless Olympic rings are meant to be less literal, perhaps the veto pertains to a global baseball tournament (worst sport) or the World Cup or something.

My only guess is that this competition will test multiple skills, perhaps a decathalon or a race with various puzzles and obstacles.

I'm interested in seeing how this will play out.

Now that Gina won POV, I don't know if I can really rest easy until the replacement nom is made, although now, in an attempt to be saved, Elissa told Gina that Helen is plotting Gina's demise for being such a threat.

I've done such a good job of turning Gina against Helen that I think this is going to make it all boil over. Gina might not even use the POV, and try to get Helen out.

I really, really prefer Will to leave this game, because my game gets much more difficult if he doesn't, but if it's Helen's time, she really did it to herself.

[ivette]

Only a matter of minutes until I find out if I've been duped or not.

I like to believe that this was out of my control anyways. I really did try to win the veto, because I wanted to be the hero to save Helen or Elissa and give myself certain safety.

That being said, if this is my blindside, blindsiding people on the jury is stupid. Doesn't mean stupid moves don't happen, though!

[ivette]

Welp, I'm gonna look so dumb in this episode for being so paranoid when the signs that Chima was trustworthy this week were all there and quite frankly overwhelming. My edit can't ALL be CPP5.

[ivette]

Here's hoping next week is a Gina HOH! It's very likely to occur!
