OMG OMG OMG!
So I have been working on Rachelle for a while now. Trying to get her to see that an alliance is a good idea... that the story of us two making final 2 would be amazing! I went so far as to tell her that if she was thinking of voting Shilpa out this round that I'd be down for it. That she's my F2 and I'd take her over Shilpa any day. And it seemed to work! Whether that was through her own volition or through my influence, I'm not sure... but I do think that it helped her make her decision to save me.
Now here's the thing, I'm not sure what I want to do. There are many reasons to get rid of Shilpa and there are several others to keep her:
Pro's of getting rid of Shilpa:
Pro's of keeping Shilpa:
There are so many other reasons, but I think you get the point... it's a difficult decision. Either way, I have to tread carefully. If Rachelle gets wind that I'm thinking of potentially keeping Shilpa, she won't be pleased and everything I've worked to build with Rachelle could be damaged in an instant. But at the same time, I'm not convinced Rachelle even plans on keeping me until the F2. I think she knows that I'd be a much more difficult person to beat in the F2 than anyone else that stands in her way. It sucks that I have virtually no relationship with Dan, and I still think Ika hates me... although that girl is so wishy washy that she's the most difficult person to read.
I told Shilpa she'd have to get Dan's vote without mentioning my name just to cover my bases. I'm not convinced Dan is going to be persuaded... and even if he does tell Shilpa he's keeping her I'm not sure if I'd trust him enough to believe him.

Now here's the thing, I'm not sure what I want to do. There are many reasons to get rid of Shilpa and there are several others to keep her:
Pro's of getting rid of Shilpa:
- She is a legitimate powerhouse in competitions, one less HUGE threat out of the way
- She has been playing an amazing social game and a lot of people on the jury see that so I'm not sure I could beat her in the F2
- I have an alliance with Rachelle and promised her that I'd vote to evict Shilpa, this would ruin any trust Rachelle had in me
- She betrayed me and our alliance for an alliance with 2 people who had no intention of bringing her to the end
Pro's of keeping Shilpa:
- I legitimately think that Rachelle has a F2 with Craig (possibly even a F2 or F3 with Dan) ((possibly even something with Ika)), this basically makes Rachelle's path to the F2 incredibly easy
- She would be an amazing ally in the fight to get rid of Rachelle and Craig, and I honestly think she'd take me to the F2 at this point... I think her and I vs. Craig and Dan for HOH sounds better than me vs. Ika Craig and Dan
- It would be a bold move and give me something to say to the jury if I should make the F2 (even though she might take credit for persuading me to keep her)
There are so many other reasons, but I think you get the point... it's a difficult decision. Either way, I have to tread carefully.
