Episode #08

[Gina Rio]

Before the last eviction, I tried to make it a point to really have another good conversation with Eric. I want to make sure that while I'm seemingly the biggest competitive threat in this game, that each side, Eric/Will/Chima and Elissa/Helen/Ivette, will keep me in and instead target someone from the other group. Talking to Eric will help me with Chima aswell, because I know they're somewhat close. But also, Chima I'm fairly confident wants to see me stay a little longer, so if Eric is on board with that, that just makes it easier for her. In my conversation with Eric, I made sure to just play on the fact that I'm just trying to survive in this game and I'm not really loyal to a certain side. This way, if Eric wins the Head of Household competition or Chima wins, they'll know that I'm a recruitable number and someone they can use in the long run.

With Sam gone, this really sets the stage. So much can happen at this point in the game. Everyone left has something to bring to the table. This is where the game really begins. I'm just really hoping that Helen can somehow come out with the victory. I feel that with Helen in power, she would definitely go after both Eric and Will. However, after the events of last week and, she could also potentially put up Chima. I made sure to let Helen know that there was a great chance that Helen could have gone home had I committed to evicting her. That's not a lie, either! Chima and Eric would have for sure voted to evict her had they known they had the third vote to do it. Helen knows this, so this plants a seed of doubt about Chima in Helen's head, which helps my game.

The way I see it, I feel pretty safe regardless of who wins the competition. I think Will would be the only to nominate me, and with reason. Everyone else wouldn't nominate me initially. Which is fine! I have a higher chance of being picked to play in the Power of Veto this week if whoever wins has the idea of trying to backdoor me. I just need to stay on my toes and make sure that I focus and keep my eyes and ears open. These silly little housemates should have definitely tried to take me out much earlier than this. This is the part of the game where I really plan to start stepping up my game in order to survive. This classy girl is about to turn into an even bigger beast of a competitor. Will these people be able to tame me and send me packing? *Smirks. We shall see.

The challenge ended up being exactly what I thought it would be. It was a series of cryptograms and the Zingbot came to the house! To be honest, that hunk of junk can go get recycled into a plastic bag. He had the nerve to say that my boobs were done for free!? And then .. and then.. he had the audacity .. the audacity .. to even mention Janelle to me. What is with everyone wanting to come for my breasts? As I sat on the sidelines alongside Ivette with a huge frown on my face, I watched as everyone tried to solve the puzzles. I really thought that Helen would be amazing at this challenge. She had raved about how great she was at these types of competitions, but I could start to see her slowing down and in a way, losing focus. What a let down. Truly awful.

All of a sudden, the challenge was over. Chima won. Like the last Veto competition, everyone rushed and Chima was able to do it nice and slow, but complete with a perfect score. These people are idiots. I don't understand them. Every single person in this game needs to get their life together. It's just embarrassing. I really didn't want to hand my key over to Chima, as she wasn't who I was banking on winning, but what can you do? I knew that I was going to have to appeal to Chima and let her know that I would be on her side no matter what she decided or wanted to see happen. I think that Chima is the type of person that wants to know that people are supporting her, especially when she's still in an intact duo with Eric. Chima wants to keep people around that she knows would keep her over him, and I've always tried to make it clear to her that I prefer her.

[Gina Rio]

Gina Rio: You slayed again with a perfect score.
Chima Simone: WITH THE SLOWEST TIME! XD ITS SO FUNNYY
Gina Rio: Everyone else ruuuushed!
Chima Simone: I KNOW RIGHT!
Gina Rio: How are you doing?
Chima Simone: I NEED TO THINK ABOUT MY NOMS
Gina Rio: Well, whatever you decide and want to see happen, I can support it.
Gina Rio: You supported me with Janelle ..
Gina Rio: Even though "certain" people tried to change that up.
Chima Simone: IM A BIT UNEASY WITH BEING HOH…
Chima Simone: I FEEL LIKE I'LL EVENTUALLY GO UP ON THE BLOCK AGAINST ERIC AND I DONT WANT HIM TO WIN VETO AND THEN FOR ME TO BE LAST ONE LEFT ON THE BLOCK, FORCED TO BE EVICTED
Gina Rio: Well, what I can offer you, is if I win HoH next week, you'll be safe. Because I can compete again.
Chima Simone: I KNOW. YOU'RE NOT GOING UP EITHER
Gina Rio: I told you that you and Ivette are the two I trust the most.
Chima Simone: I'LL TELL YOU WHO I WAS THINKING
Chima Simone: ELISSA VS. WILL
Gina Rio: I love those noms.
Chima Simone: YEP
Gina Rio: It's dangerous though.
Gina Rio: Helen would try to win Veto and remove Elissa.
Chima Simone: THAT'S WHAT IM MOST WORRIED ABOUT..
Chima Simone: AND THATS WHAT BLOCKS ME AT BEING SURE OF WHAT IM DOING
Chima Simone: UNLESS..
Gina Rio: If you do Helen vs. Elissa, then make the replacement Will?
Chima Simone: OR THAT.
Gina Rio: I mean, who do you want gone? You only need two votes for a tie.
Chima Simone: IDK WHO I WANT GONE LMAO
Gina Rio: You'd have me, Ivette, and Eric if you wanted to boot someone specific.
Chima Simone: ERIC IS 100% WITH WILL
Chima Simone: AND THAT WORRIES ME BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WILL WOULD VOTE TO KEEP ERIC OVER ME HANDS DOWN
Gina Rio: Definitely. I think so too.
Gina Rio: Out of Elissa and Helen, Elissa is probably your biggest obstacle right now.
Gina Rio: Because, she was telling everyone that you were in some trio alliance with Eric and Will last round.
Gina Rio: All she does is stir up drama.
Chima Simone: *MAJOR EYE ROLL*
Chima Simone: IF I DO HELEN VS. ELISSA WOULD YOU VOTE HER?
Gina Rio: I'd evict Elissa over Helen, probably.
Gina Rio: I hardly ever do. And when we do talk, it's just her stirring the pot.
Chima Simone: SHE HAD A FIGHT WITH ERIC
Chima Simone: BUT AT THE SAME TIME ELISSA VS WILL WOULD PROVE IM NOT IN A TRIO WITH THEM..
Gina Rio: Who cares what they think?
Gina Rio: Especially if one of them were leaving anyways.
Chima Simone: YEA
Gina Rio: Eric only has Will. You have Ivette and I.
Gina Rio: Helen and Elissa would potentially lose each other and only be one remaining.
Chima Simone: YEA, MAKES SENSE.
Gina Rio: Elissa i just a huge wildcard. You kneeler know what she's thinking.
Chima Simone: SHE'S STRONG IN COMPETITIONS AND VERY UNPREDICTABLE
Gina Rio: Exactly.
Chima Simone: OK IMMA DO HELEN AND ELISSA NOW
Gina Rio: Love it.

Ivette Corredero: I keep pushing helen/elissa noms to chima, but i did take a step back to suggest you, so a duo between us seems less obvious, but i'm focusing on helen/elissa
Gina Rio: I'm talking to Chima right now.
Gina Rio: She doesn't know whether to do Elissa and Will or Helen and Elissa.
Ivette Corredero: she told me that too
Ivette Corredero: i don't know why it makes much of a difference
Gina Rio: Well, it does for me.
Gina Rio: I'm pushing for Helen and Elissa, because if makes me nervous if it's Elissa and Will and Helen wins the Veto and saves Elissa.
Gina Rio: Who is she going to nominate as a replacement between us?
Gina Rio: Me.
Ivette Corredero: that's true, tbh
Ivette Corredero: will is still so going the fuck home
Ivette Corredero: but yeah that makes 100% sense for you
Gina Rio: I just really hope that Helen, Elissa, and Will do poorly in the HN competition.
Gina Rio: This way they won't be at full strength for the Power of Veto.
Ivette Corredero: i know we're not in the clear yet
Ivette Corredero: but this week could be so much worse

[Gina Rio]

The nominations this week were wavering back and forth between Elissa and Will, but also Elissa and Helen. There was no way I was going to settle for Elissa and Will nominations, because that left room for Helen to win Veto, save Elissa, and see me hit the block. I don't want anyone having the excuse of sticking me up on the block and using it as just that .. an excuse. I made sure to hammer it into Chima's head that I was still very much in her corner and that nominating both Elissa and Helen made sure that one of them or even Will, a number of Eric's, would be going and that her loyalty with Ivette and myself would stay safe and we could still move into the next week to compete for the Head of Household competition. That's all that anyone wants: safety. I made sure to let Chima know that if I was here and won next week, she'd be safe.

I'm thrilled that Chima committed to the idea of Elissa and Helen being the nominations. I quite enjoy seeing both of them on the block. It's nice. It's refreshing. This now means that myself and Ivette are the only two players left in the game that have never been nominated, and it's the Final 7. I think that's pretty impressive. So, with these two ladies on the block, it's crucial that this next Have/Have-Not competition goes well, so that certain people don't perform at their best. I really want to make sure that Ivette and myself can win this, so that when we walk into the Veto competition, we are immaculate in order to slay the other housemates. Of 'course, there is a chance that one of us won't be playing, but we have to stay hopeful that the Veto bag is on our side.

[Gina Rio]

Gina Rio: Ugh, why is Helen attacking you in the competition?
Ivette Corredero: gina im about to flatline
Ivette Corredero: im dead
Ivette Corredero: im dying
Ivette Corredero: im just done
Gina Rio: ..
Ivette Corredero: i told helen she's giving eric a veto advantage
Ivette Corredero: and i said "he wont use the veto on you or elissa"
Ivette Corredero: and she said "he will if chima tells him to"
Gina Rio: So, Helen knows she's going to be nominated then?
Ivette Corredero: yes, chima told her
Gina Rio: Helen's dumb. She's just killing her position with us.
Gina Rio: I mean, what's her logic in hurting your or my chances in the HN competition?
Ivette Corredero: she gave me pretty much three excuses
Ivette Corredero: after i debunked each one, she moved onto a new one
Ivette Corredero: "i don't want to alarm eric!"
Ivette Corredero: "im not concerned with being a have not myself than with who else is a have not!"
Ivette Corredero: "eric would listen to chima!"
Ivette Corredero: the best reason she offered tho was that eric might think there s backdoor plan in place for you
Ivette Corredero: and that makes sense
Gina Rio: What!?
Gina Rio: Excuse me.
Ivette Corredero: if he wins it, he'll use it so you can go up
Ivette Corredero: when really chima will only put will up as the replacement
Gina Rio: I'm not comfortable with either of us being HNs though.
Gina Rio: We need to maximize our chances at winning the Veto.
Ivette Corredero: yeah but
Ivette Corredero: you're a better competitor than me
Ivette Corredero: let them come for me over you
Gina Rio: The fact that Helen is "randomizing" her attacks is annoying.
Gina Rio: Bitch, what game are you playing?
Ivette Corredero: remember when helen was sloppy?
Gina Rio: You mean, like, everyday?
Ivette Corredero: yup
Gina Rio: Yeah.
Ivette Corredero: hypersensitive, no real sense of a social game
Gina Rio: I hate her so much right now.
Ivette Corredero: like, you showed your friends that your wishy washy
Ivette Corredero: and don't really value them
Ivette Corredero: and it just comes off bad
Gina Rio: Oh, it looks like she's back to make another move.
Gina Rio: She's ready to "randomize", gurl!
Ivette Corredero: so phony
Gina Rio: I'm over it.
Ivette Corredero: lmao at how frightened they are of you
Gina Rio: Yeah, I'd love for them to attack me.
Ivette Corredero: im scaring the bejebus out of helen now
Ivette Corredero: i just went to her and was like,
Ivette Corredero: HELEN I TRUST YOU.
Ivette Corredero: YOU NEED TO GET SERIOUS
Ivette Corredero: STOP KIDDING YOURSELF
Gina Rio: LMAO.
Gina Rio: I love it.
Ivette Corredero: helen is worried she's out of eric's good graces now
Gina Rio: She's worried about Eric's good graces?
Gina Rio: ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?

[Gina Rio]

During the Have/Have-Not competition, Helen was clearly showing just how much of a flake she was. How dare you, Helen? How dare you. I am so sick and tired of wavering on my opinion of this girl. One minute she's okay, the next she's dreadful, a few minutes later she's a darling, and an hour after that, she's the worst possible human being. For Helen to attack Ivette during the competition just shows how dodgy she truly is. Ivette then lets me know that Helen was "worried" about what Eric thought of her. Excuse me? Screw Eric. Who honestly cares what Eric thinks of you, you should care what we think of you. Ivette and myself are two votes and Eric is a measly one, and Chima breaks the tie. Helen has no idea how to play this game. I know that before I was saying how Helen appeared to be an end-game threat because she's always played the "sweet" card, but it's only because she has no backbone. She's an overly sensitive muppet.

Luckily, the challenge played out like it should have. Elissa and Eric ended up joining Will as HNs this week. Flawless! It was extremely important for me, that if I were to be picked, that I could win the Veto. I didn't want any hinderances. I mean, what Ivette had told me earlier in the week about Eric hinting to Helen that there could be an opportunity to backdoor me, has been lingering on my mind. I don't want to give these wankers a chance at getting me out at this game, let alone at the F7. Can you imagine? Me leaving at the F7? Ugh! That manky slut, Janelle, would absolutely adore it, and that's what has me really hoping and praying that I get picked to play in the Veto competition.

When the draws came around, I got picked to play! Thank god! When my name got called, I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulder and it was instead replaced by pre-competition nerves and jitters. All I know is that I need to win the competition at any cost. I want to make sure I have some power by the end of this week to help push a certain agenda. That agenda? To backdoor Will. Helen and Elissa are both annoying and threats in their own, respective ways, but Will has always been someone I've been against. I'd love to complete my mission and take out all the members of Chilltown and send them to their trollop, Cownelle. I started to get nervous about Ivette not playing, but ironically, Chima drew Houseguest's Choice and had to choose between Eric and Ivette. She chose Ivette, and that tells Ivette and I who she hopes to stick by. Us.

[Gina Rio]

The PoV competition was a series of mini competitions. In order to win the challenge, you had to accumulate the highest amount of points. Points were distributed by the types of medals you won each round. Luckily, we know that I adore nice things, so only gold was suitable for me. *Brushes her hair from her face. The competition was steamrolled by yours truly from start to finish. Which means .. *Holds up the medallion and kisses it. I won! Chima was giving me a run for my money, as was Helen, but c'mon, let's face it .. neither had what it took to come back and beat me. I was really pushing hard to win this challenge, because I wanted to secure my own safety instead of relying on others. With the Power of Veto in my possession, this meant that I was going to be approached by everyone about what to do with it, and that's exactly what happened.

A few minutes after I had won, Elissa came up to me and told me how Helen had been saying repeatedly that I needed to be voted out because I "win everything". True. I can't hold that against Helen because she's not exactly slandering me, but still. This pissed me off a little. With this bit of information, I decided to confront Helen. The reason for confronting Helen with this, was to drive the wedge between Elissa and Helen a little further, but also to show Helen that I preferred her over Elissa, regardless. I told Helen that If I had believed Elissa, I wouldn't be coming to her with this information. Helen seemed thankful and hopeful that she and I were still good with one another, and I assured her that she was. I had let her know that if I was going to save her or Elissa, it'd be her, and that I wanted her to have my back next week if she won.

Chima and I got to talking about what we wanted to see happen this week. Chima was fine with nominations staying the same, or that's what she let on, and letting Elissa be the one evicted. However, as Chima and I got deeper into the conversation, I made sure to tell her that it was perhaps smarter to see Will leave the game this week. Why? Because of the partner twist. If Ivette were to win Head of Household next round, she wouldn't be able to nominate Will. If Will were to be evicted this week, this leaves it open as a greenlight for Ivette to win, which increases Chima and my chances at being safe if Ivette were to indeed win. If Will were still here, we wouldn't want Ivette to win, and we'd only have me to rely on to win the competition.

[Gina Rio]

Elissa Slater: (9:54:20 PM) Congrats!
Gina Rio: (9:54:23 PM) Thank you!
Elissa Slater: (9:54:36 PM) Helen's been talking about how you always win games and you need to be voted out.
Elissa Slater: (9:54:41 PM) So you should save me!
Gina Rio: (9:54:53 PM) Seriously?
Elissa Slater: (9:54:59 PM) Yes.
Elissa Slater: (9:55:06 PM) She said it a lot.

Ivette Corredero: (10:17:59 PM) if i go up and its a trick and we got played, we tell helen that elissa told you that she was planning to evict you
Ivette Corredero: (10:18:07 PM) helen would very likely evict elissa
Ivette Corredero: (10:18:27 PM) makes sense, right
Gina Rio: (10:18:28 PM) Yeah, I'd take down Helen.
Gina Rio: (10:18:31 PM) I hate her, but prefer her over Elissa.
Ivette Corredero: (10:18:49 PM) helen keeps me, you keep me, chima decides, and she hates elissa so who knows
Gina Rio: (10:25:33 PM) I think it's safe.
Gina Rio: (10:25:40 PM) Chima running over votes.
Ivette Corredero: (10:25:40 PM) i think so too
Gina Rio: (10:25:50 PM) She's saying Helen, you, and I will evict Will.
Ivette Corredero: (10:31:03 PM) im gonna sweat it
Ivette Corredero: (10:31:07 PM) until its very very official
Ivette Corredero: (10:31:34 PM) but like...if you DIDNT use the veto, i'd definitely stay in the game this round 100%, but the path to the end would get much more difficult
Gina Rio: (10:31:54 PM) Omg.
Gina Rio: (10:31:56 PM) Don't make me second guess it.
Ivette Corredero: (10:32:02 PM) lol no
Gina Rio: (10:32:17 PM) I wouldn't use it if you felt in danger.

[Gina Rio]

Gina Rio: (10:02:18 PM) Can I talk to you?
Helen Kim: (10:02:23 PM) yeah definitely
Gina Rio: (10:02:30 PM) Let's cut to the chase.
Gina Rio: (10:02:41 PM) Have you been telling people I need to go, because I win everything?
Helen Kim: (10:02:47 PM) um
Gina Rio: (10:02:48 PM) That I need to be voted out?
Helen Kim: (10:02:49 PM) I have not
Helen Kim: (10:02:57 PM) Let me guess
Helen Kim: (10:03:00 PM) Chima told you that
Helen Kim: (10:03:02 PM) didn't she?
Gina Rio: (10:03:03 PM) No.
Helen Kim: (10:03:06 PM) what?
Gina Rio: (10:03:08 PM) I promise she didn't.
Helen Kim: (10:03:10 PM) She's been slandering my name
Helen Kim: (10:03:12 PM) to everyone
Gina Rio: (10:03:13 PM) It wasn't Chima.
Helen Kim: (10:03:18 PM) who was it?
Helen Kim: (10:03:35 PM) I may have said it jokingly
Helen Kim: (10:03:43 PM) but I showed you that I trusted you
Helen Kim: (10:03:47 PM) did I not?
Gina Rio: (10:04:05 PM) You did. But this game changes day by day.
Gina Rio: (10:04:09 PM) So idk if you changed?
Helen Kim: (10:04:13 PM) I didn't
Helen Kim: (10:04:19 PM) I promise you from the bottom of my heart
Gina Rio: (10:04:42 PM) Elissa feels if I should take someone down, it should be her.
Helen Kim: (10:04:49 PM) Well duh
Helen Kim: (10:04:54 PM) If Elissa told you that
Helen Kim: (10:05:08 PM) She has done this to me every time
Helen Kim: (10:05:10 PM) she has my back
Helen Kim: (10:05:19 PM) until we're up against each other
Gina Rio: (10:05:26 PM) I know, but it's just worrisome because Gary had mentioned the comments too.
Gina Rio: (10:05:31 PM) But I didn't make a big deal about it.
Helen Kim: (10:05:36 PM) Gary told ME that you win everything
Gina Rio: (10:05:48 PM) I know, but that's why.
Gina Rio: (10:05:49 PM) You know~ about me.
Helen Kim: (10:05:56 PM) I don't care if you do though
Helen Kim: (10:06:00 PM) I trust you
Helen Kim: (10:06:06 PM) and I can't say that about most anyone here
Gina Rio: (10:06:12 PM) Helen, you know I want you to stay.
Gina Rio: (10:06:17 PM) I'm just trying to keep it real with you.
Helen Kim: (10:06:20 PM) if I lose I want to lose to you or Ivette
Gina Rio: (10:06:21 PM) And be upfront and honest.
Helen Kim: (10:06:23 PM) I want to win
Helen Kim: (10:06:27 PM) of course I want to win
Helen Kim: (10:06:32 PM) but I mean
Helen Kim: (10:06:35 PM) if I don't, so be it
Gina Rio: (10:06:38 PM) I understand.
Helen Kim: (10:06:43 PM) I don't want someone unworthy to win this game
Gina Rio: (10:07:20 PM) I completely agree.
Gina Rio: (10:07:29 PM) And there's one or two people that definitely don't deserve it.
Helen Kim: (10:07:30 PM) but how can you believe Elissa?
Helen Kim: (10:07:32 PM) over me?
Gina Rio: (10:07:41 PM) If I believed Elissa, I wouldn't have even said anything to you.
Helen Kim: (10:07:43 PM) She made all that shit up week 2
Helen Kim: (10:07:54 PM) I'm just frustrated haha
Helen Kim: (10:08:05 PM) she always does this to me
Gina Rio: (10:08:14 PM) I knowwww how she is. I was there with you when she was doing her thing at the start.
Gina Rio: (10:08:21 PM) I just wanted to make sure we're okay.
Helen Kim: (10:08:31 PM) we're absolutely okay
Helen Kim: (10:08:43 PM) I just can't believe she would do that
Helen Kim: (10:08:53 PM) it was bad enough when Chima went to everyone spreading lies
Helen Kim: (10:08:56 PM) but Elissa too?
Helen Kim: (10:09:09 PM) I won't say anything to her
Gina Rio: (10:09:16 PM) Thank you.
Helen Kim: (10:10:45 PM) I am one of the most loyal people you will ever play with yet nobody trusts me and that's why I never make it far
Gina Rio: (10:10:56 PM) Can I be blunt with you?
Helen Kim: (10:11:02 PM) yeah sure
Gina Rio: (10:11:07 PM) The Have/Have Not competition pissed me off so much.
Gina Rio: (10:11:10 PM) Like ..
Gina Rio: (10:11:18 PM) I was like, HELEN BETTER NOT ATTACK ME?
Gina Rio: (10:11:28 PM) Because I have been 100% behind you.
Gina Rio: (10:11:32 PM) And wouldn't have ever gone for you.
Helen Kim: (10:11:36 PM) I never attacked you did I?
Gina Rio: (10:11:39 PM) And then when I saw you randomizing attacks,
Gina Rio: (10:11:41 PM) I was like .. oh hell no.
Gina Rio: (10:11:45 PM) No, you didn't.
Helen Kim: (10:11:46 PM) Gina
Helen Kim: (10:11:50 PM) I totally
Gina Rio: (10:11:54 PM) I just want to make sure we're still good.
Helen Kim: (10:12:00 PM) kept refreshing
Gina Rio: (10:12:02 PM) LMAO.
Helen Kim: (10:12:03 PM) until Eric was at the top
Helen Kim: (10:12:13 PM) I needed to find a way to start attacking him
Gina Rio: (10:12:14 PM) That's what I hoped.
Gina Rio: (10:21:07 PM) If I save you,
Gina Rio: (10:21:12 PM) please have my back, Helen.
Helen Kim: (10:21:18 PM) absolutely
Gina Rio: (10:30:27 PM) At this point, I'm probably taking you down.
Gina Rio: (10:30:39 PM) I'm talking to Chima and hoping for the Will nomination.
Helen Kim: (10:30:50 PM) she just spoke to me and was like
Helen Kim: (10:31:02 PM) "Have you talked to Gina? I hope you get pulled off."
Helen Kim: (10:31:12 PM) So hopefully she says something similar to you
Gina Rio: (10:31:19 PM) Yes, she seems on board.

Chima Simone: (10:06:55 PM) CONGRATS! YOU BEASTED IT
Gina Rio: (10:06:59 PM) Thank you, girl!
Chima Simone: (10:08:04 PM) ANY IDEA WHAT U'R GONNA DO?
Gina Rio: (10:08:32 PM) Well, I wanted to talk to you!
Gina Rio: (10:08:43 PM) Like I said, I wanted to do what's best for us this week.
Chima Simone: (10:11:23 PM) SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Gina Rio: (10:12:31 PM) Well, do you want Elissa out this week?
Chima Simone: (10:12:36 PM) SURE YES
Gina Rio: (10:12:37 PM) It's your week and I'll support what you want.
Chima Simone: (10:13:30 PM) BUT THEN NEXT WEEK IVETTE NEEDS TO THROW HOH, BECAUSE IF SHE WINS WILL CAN'T GO UP.
Gina Rio: (10:14:04 PM) Ugh, that is so annoying.
Chima Simone: (10:14:09 PM) I KNOW
Chima Simone: (10:14:24 PM) UNLESS WE EVICT WILL NOW, IDK
Gina Rio: (10:14:33 PM) Can we?
Chima Simone: (10:14:33 PM) IM REALLY BETWEEN ELISSA & WILL RIGHT NOW
Gina Rio: (10:14:35 PM) LOL.
Gina Rio: (10:14:40 PM) Chima, you know,
Gina Rio: (10:14:42 PM) more than anybody,
Gina Rio: (10:14:45 PM) how I've been against
Gina Rio: (10:14:48 PM) Chilltown and Janelle.
Chima Simone: (10:14:51 PM) LMAO
Gina Rio: (10:14:58 PM) I would be so on board for that.
Chima Simone: (10:15:11 PM) IF WILL WINS THE NEXT HOH
Chima Simone: (10:15:14 PM) THAT WOULD KILL EVERYTHING
Chima Simone: (10:15:28 PM) ESPECIALLY IF I SOMEHOW ENDED UP ON THE BLOCK
Chima Simone: (10:15:43 PM) CAUSE HE WOULDNT NOMINATE ERIC

Chima Simone: (10:15:52 PM) NOPE
Gina Rio: (10:15:53 PM) so you need all the numbers you can get.
Gina Rio: (10:15:58 PM) If Ivette can't play, because of Will,
Gina Rio: (10:16:04 PM) then it's just me competing and trying.
Chima Simone: (10:16:08 PM) BUT IF WILL IS OUT, SHE CAN PLAY
Gina Rio: (10:16:10 PM) Taking out Will, means Ivette can win.
Gina Rio: (10:16:11 PM) Yep.
Gina Rio: (10:16:22 PM) So it increases our chances of being safe.
Chima Simone: (10:16:27 PM) BUT THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO SAVE HELEN & REPLACE WILL WITH HER
Chima Simone: (10:16:29 PM) TRUE

Gina Rio: (10:28:02 PM) "HELEN HAS BEEN SAYING SHE WANTS TO VOTE YOU OUT."
Gina Rio: (10:28:05 PM) "SHE'S SAID IT SO MUCH."

Gina Rio: (10:28:49 PM) if they have conflict.
Chima Simone: (10:28:51 PM) YES

[Gina Rio]

The plan was successful. I removed Helen off the block and Chima followed through with nominating Will in her place. There was some worry on Ivette's part that Will would be able to convince Chima to not put him up, but it didn't happen. From what I heard, Will had tried hard to stay off the block, vowing that he wasn't as close to Eric as everyone believed. Yeah, okay. *Rolls eyes. With Will going up on the block now, this means that we can evict him and kill the Ivette and Will duo that would have been a nuisance to have next round. Helen, Ivette, and myself will all be casting our votes to evict Will. I think he knows it's coming, otherwise he wouldn't be up on the block right now. If he happens to approach me before the eviction, I'll let him know that I'm evicting him.

This isn't a bakery by any means. I'm not going to sugarcoat anything.

With Will more than likely leaving this week, it's crucial that in this next round, Eric is the one that gets voted out. If Eric gets voted out, that kills the twist and any automatic F2 advantage as we near closer to the end. It's important that those of us that don't have the advantage take care of this. Eric absolutely cannot win Head of Household next week and he needs to be the one that goes. I can see Chima wanting to keep him around, which is why she might have to go up on the block as a replacement nominee if not an original nominee. However, either way, the two of them would be outnumbered by everyone else and we could still get what we wanted in getting him out. It's just extremely important that one of them go, preferably Eric. If Eric somehow survives, then it might have to be Chima going, which would be somewhat upsetting.

I have a feeling the fast-forward is what we're about to be faced with. If that's the case, it could easily come down to myself or Helen winning the challenge, which is preferred. I'd love to personally get it myself though. I miss the luxuries of the HoH bedroom.

Gina Rio: Elissa!?
Elissa Slater: Hi!
Gina Rio: You are fine.
Gina Rio: I promise.
Elissa Slater: No I'm not!
Elissa Slater: I'm pretty sure I'm leaving.
Elissa Slater: I can't expect you to save me over your partner.
Elissa Slater: and that will tie and Chima will evict me.
Gina Rio: What?
Gina Rio: Will is not my partner.
Elissa Slater: What?
Gina Rio: Girl, lay off the tequila.
Elissa Slater: Whose partner is he?
Gina Rio: Ivette's?
Elissa Slater: OOPS!
Elissa Slater: I AM SO SORRY!
Elissa Slater: OH MY GOD THAT WAS AWFUL.
Gina Rio: So don't even worry about it.
Gina Rio: Will has to go to kill that F2 advantage.
Elissa Slater: OK, so are you gonna be here for the double eviction?
Gina Rio: I will be, yes, tomorrow.
Elissa Slater: OK, great.
Elissa Slater: Then we're good.
Gina Rio: I think we're in agreement on who should go next?
Gina Rio: Short, nipple piercings, has a penis.
Elissa Slater: We just need to beat Eric.
Gina Rio: Yes.

Eviction [Week #08]

I vote to evict .. Will.

Elissa, if you're reading this, then you got the boot this round. I'd be genuinely surprised too. I think that you played a very UTR game, and to other people who are much more out in the open, it made you appear like a huge wildcard and a threat to their games. I've never had a personal riff or tiff with you, but I've heard about how others have always been deeply annoyed by the way you've conducted yourself. I can admit that on occasion, I have felt that you rubbed me the wrong way. I wish you would have stayed, since you and everyone else know I despised Chilltown immensely in this game.

Will, well, here we are. As much as you and I tried to meet each other halfway, it just never seemed to pan out for us. While I liked you to a certain degree, you just weren't helping my game and it made more sense for me to evict you over Elissa, and Helen for that matter. Keeping you around was starting to prove dangerous for me, as I still had felt that had you won, I would have gone up. Besides our struggles with trying to create a working relationship, I think a fair amount of the blame for your eviction should be placed on the twist. With everyone about to reach the F6, duos still intact is extremely dangerous and fatal to those of us without a twist partner. Bye, darling.
