Week 11

[ivette]

I promised I'd make a thread for this week, so here it is!

I've been wrong before, but the way I see it, whichever one of Chima or myself makes it to the final 2 with Elissa is probably the winner.

Not to say Elissa's game has been atrocious, but the only real impression she's made is being shifty and winning more comps than most of the cast.

I think the game I've played in BBCharm has been among my best in any ORG I've played. Unfortunately, it's not perfect, because I'm pretty sure Elissa and Chima are both convinced that I've played the best game of the three of us. If that's the case, is my game really the best? It could easily prohibit me from winning if I don't clear the final hurdle, and I just don't have time in my day to win Part 1 of this competition.

Here's hoping Elissa, feeling secure, doesn't bother to compete in Part 2, so I at least have a fighting chance against Chima for the Final 2.

P.S. I'm pretty much going to be off the grid starting Thursday. I might get a chance to access my computer a few times at night, and I'll probably be able to post any opening statement/jury questions that may be required of me, but my availability will be limited.

Of course, jury starts Tuesday night, most likely, so I should have a chance to get most of it done. I just might not be able to be present for the live finale.

Clearly I just went for an easy tower in case Elissa and Chima mess up tremendously. I will be trying to go higher than that.

[ivette]

Yeah, I'll keep doing this in the hopes that Chima messes up, but she's clearly hidden her online/offline status (thank god nobody commented on the veto ceremony so she appears on the front page for easy access).

In the last half hour alone Chima has added more to her tower than I've done in total. I know it's not wise to kill myself over this. I'll focus on getting a respectable amount that's higher than Elissa and focus on accuracy. Also, I don't know Chima's life. She could just be really focused on doing a tower tonight and getting it done because she doesn't have time tomorrow.

[ivette]

Ok clearly based on post count Chima has this and Elissa didn't try. I'll unstack my tower when I get off work (it's too risky to do it on my phone with autocorrect and watchful bosses). Maybe Chima made a mistake, but more importantly than that, hopefully Elissa doesn't bother with part 2 because she's going to the end anyways

If history repeats itself, it looks like it's going to be me vs. Elissa in a puzzle for the right to compete in the final round of this HOH comp. I'm not a huge puzzle person, but thus far when Elissa senses she's losing in a puzzle (or any competition, for that matter), she gives up (I have a feeling Helen helped her with the scramble puzzle for the F5 HOH). Of course, she's just going head to head now with me.

And also, I don't know my photo editing software THAT well. It's something I downloaded for free because I'm too cheap for photoshop. We will have to see what happens. I know I'll be gutted if my game ends tonight, but there's a high likelihood of that occurring.

None of the previous three seasons really gives a very clear picture of what this puzzle is or could be, only one of them shows the final product (which looked pretty similar to the F4 POV, overall), so we will have to see what happens.

[ivette]

I'm fairly certain I'll be booted from the chat and locked out of my DR soon. This game was fun, and my only regret is that I had to fall at the final hurdle. I'm going to try to do as much as I can, but it's too little too late.
