Episode Eight
[Day 37]
Helen versus Sam in the eviction and Sam leaves. How dumb is that? I know we ALL know that Helen was the bigger threat...okay then. I really only blame Gina, but she needs big targets to take the spotlight off of her I guess and Eric/Chima just went with the majority.
At the HOH competition we had to solve seven puzzles the Zingbot threw at us. I don't mean to try to be all Nikki, but I felt like I was the star of those quotes as mine hurt the most. Boogieeeeeeeee....Of course he loves that attention, but whatever he's not here. I wanted to win HOH so badly. I sped through those puzzles and "completed" them fairly fast, but that's also what made me fail. I sped through them when I should have been checking accuracy. So Chima wins by taking her time. The good news with that is that Eric is safe, but I'm not. Chima seems to be cool with me, but I feel on edge... She told me she was nominating Helen/Elissa and she didn't care who was evicted but preferred Elissa. I'm down.
Being a Have Not again automatically meant just watching the Have Not competition instead of competing and good thing cause it would have gotten a bit nasty if I was there competing. Helen basically decided Eric should be on slop because he's safe no matter what and then Chima picks Ivette to play in the veto competition instead of Eric because he's already safe. REALLY?! So he's a Have Not for no reason. These girls...
With Helen/Elissa on the block it's an easy veto decision for me to not use the veto if I win. I just don't know what Ivette/Gina would do.
Last note I wanna get to is the end game. I HATE thinking about the endgame, because I've done it many times in games and don't even get to see it through. I have come to the realization, however, that I HAVE to start thinking about the placement of these players, because the duo twist is a HUGE part of these next 5 evictions.
So in a perfect world, I would sit next to Eric in the finale (probably not a very popular choice, but it's what I want). In order for that to happen, neither Eric or I can have our duo with us in the final 3, which means Gina, Helen, or Elissa have to be in the Final 3 AND we'd have to win Final HOH. I'd feel more in danger as I think I'd get evicted if any of those ladies won final HOH. So in order for that to happen, Chima and Ivette would need to both go 5th and 6th, leaving me, Eric, and 2 people I don't want in the game all in the Final 4. Sam was a big part of my thought process as he was who I wanted in the Final 3. 3 guys, which meant we'd finally HAVE to have a male winner, blah blah blah, he's evicted so plan fails.
So basically getting to the Final 2 with Eric is not an easy road at all. Plus he knows that I want him to be in the Final 2 with me, but he's basically hinted that he wants me to be 3rd place and Chima to be with him in the end. I get Chima's place if she's not there. Meh. So I think plan B (which may turn out to be plan A) is for me to go to the end with Ivette. We are pretty evening matched, I won't have to compete in Final HOH, just Final 4 veto and win. I just think our social games will put one of us over the edge to win.
In both scenarios, Gina is nowhere near Final 2. She needs to leave this week or next week. She gets to Final 2, she wins. There is no way any of us could deny her the win, she must be dealt with.
Back to present day, I am taking my time to think about how I'd like evictions to go (Gina>Elissa>Chima>Helen>Eric), but my perception seems to be off on the connections of the other six housemates so you never know if they all have wanted me gone weeks ago.
