It's official, I'm a houseguest this season of Big Brother: Rise and Fall! I'm so excited! Everyone is gorgeous and all so young! The meet and greet went fairly well I feel. Of course everyone is eager to start the game and have their resting nice faces on! I revealed that I was a lesbian, so I hope it doesn't offend anyone in the house. The house (board) is soooo beautiful, I love the purple tones... *turns around* I love this mesh fabric wall. My best friend Beau would gag over it!
After the meet and greet in the Living Room, everyone hurried away to check out the house. That started private conversations all over the house. I'm really digging Shilpa, Monet and Craig the most, although everyone seems genuinely nice. I did enjoy my conversations with Rachelle and Ika. I believe it's too early to solidify any alliances or deals (unless it's offered to me).
Okay, Big Brother, it's time to go make myself known some more!

So, moments after I leave the Diary Room... bam, Big Brother hits us with an announcement. This announcement stated we would need to cast a vote for one of the other houseguests. Not revealing further information until after the first Head of Household competition, Big Brother stated we could not share our vote. Does paranoia begin? Yes, I have pondered random options of what it could be, but I will not stress it.
I am voting for... Rachelle. The reason I have casted this vote for Rachelle is she seems cool and someone I would get along with, but it's not someone I feel fully comfortable with yet. So, if it's a snap eviction, sucks, but it's not one of the few that have a great first impression on myself. If it's a reward then cool, I feel slightly comfortable enough that she would keep me in the loop.

Picking back up where I left off from my last Diary Room session. The house is getting along at the moment, we're in the jacuzzi, playing card games, etc. We've drunk all the booze... we need more booze! The game talk is too a minimum as I feel everyone is nervous about talking too soon. Although, I am wise enough to know that some people play hard and fast, but the question is who. A few people have been missing around the house and it's bothersome - why apply if you're going to be a lazy or inactive? I never understood it, but whatever, it's totally disrespectful to the host and staff. If they're not removed, I expect the least active ones to be leaving the game first. There is a couple of people that have not been on AIM yet (from what I know of and heard): Hayden and Jillian. I saw Shelia on for a bit, but I fell asleep before I got the chance to say hello... oh, well, she isn't around anyhow. Nick and I chatted the first night inside the house, but I have not seen him since. Harry isn't responsive but is logged into AIM and is also missing from the site. What the fuck... what are these people doing?
The next day Big Brother called all the houseguests to the Living Room. "Houseguests, it's time for your first Head of Household competition." How exciting! The moment we've all been waiting for. As we walked outside, we saw 16 stations with each of us having our own. The competition was called Majority Rules and the goal was to answer in the majority each question. I was eliminated during the second question, but I felt very comfortable with the ones were left remaining. Craig and Shilpa, my #1s, made it to the tiebreaking question (which was a very close). Shilpa came up with the win and became the first Head of Household of the season. I was fine with Shilpa or Craig winning... this couldn't have been anymore perfect. What a great start to the season!
After the Head of Household competition, Big Brother called us back to the living room to revealed to us that we just voted for the first MVP of the season. The MVP will not be revealed by Big Brother, but they can reveal it themselves. The duty of the MVP is to nominate a 3rd nominee for the week. This shall be an entertaining season for sure... it will defiantly cause some drama and paranoia.
Shilpa and I chatted about nominations for a good solid 10 minutes (lol). She decided that (as expected) one of the least active people should leave this week. This should be an easy week for Shilpa. It's the best way not to cause any ruckus in the house and keep everyone happy. I know both, Hayden and Jillian, have messaged Shilpa asking for safety, but it may be too late. Drew and I have bonded over the past couple of days, even admitting that at first we had no connection what-so-ever. Now, it changed, we chat a lot, and became friends. He revealed to me that he was the MVP this week. He also mentioned that I was the only one he told. I do not know if I believe I'm the only one he told or not. Maybe, he's trying to gain my trust by saying that. He did gain it, but I'm skeptical I'm the only one who knows. I believe Drew is defiantly one of the more popular houseguests, so that is something I need to keep in mind. Ika has a good strategy of telling the funny jokes in the living room. Dan and I bonded quite a bit, which is a shocker, because he isn't around that much. I'm still working on connections even with the ones I feel great about. I got to keep a good thing going and not let anything fizzle out.
Alright, it's time to attend the Nomination Ceremony! I'll have another little post later tonight.

Oh, where - oh, where, do I start? During Shilpa's reign as Head of Household she nominated both Jillian and Nick for eviction. Drew revealed that he was the MVP and he nominated Hayden. During the Power of Veto competition, I "fainted" and was sat out of the challenge. Shilpa won the Golden Power of Veto making a clean sweep of a week. Yes, my girl is a competition beast! After Nick broke many rules, Big Brother decided that Nick would be removed from the house. Unfortunately, for the other nominees, the eviction was still on: Jillian vs Hayden. This vote really didn't matter to the houseguests, Jillian or Hayden wouldn't effect the future of the game. Although Shilpa did mention that she would like if Jillian left (as Jillian asked to leave). So, I was respecting her wish, I was planning to vote to evict Jillian. I in the backyard hanging out with Christine and Drew. They mentioned that they have voted for Hayden to leave because Drew didn't want Hayden to come back and seek revenge. Then as more people can in the backyard, Drew campaigned even more for Hayden to leave. How greedy of him especially in the first week. Hayden wasn't active, the chances of him winning a competition was slim. He looked after himself. What do I do? I run my spicy Latina ass to Shilpa and spilled out what Drew had done: looked after himself. She was very appreciative of this and it put some times in prospective. At the Eviction ceremony, Hayden was voted out with nine votes.

After the quiet week in the house, it was time for the second Head of Household competition. The competition was called Eliminator and we had answer a series of questions. If you answer it the quickest and correct, you'd have to eliminate someone in the competition. If you answered it incorrectly then you'd be eliminated from the competition yourself. The competition was very one-sided with Rachelle slaying the competition, but during the last question she bombed it which gave Craig the win. Woo! Another favorite wins Head of Household, how great is this?!
It was obvious, once again, an least valuable player to the game would be leaving. This is great, we're all floating by, eliminating the ones who do not deserve it. The MVP had been contacted, but who could it be? Not me, not Shilpa, nor Craig. Hm... well, Rachelle was nice enough to share that she MVP. Yay. I'm sure she shared that information with everyone that is actually on AIM. She said she would be nominating Ash. Shilpa and I had a talk inside the gym room, we were ready to officially align with each other and we wanted Craig with us too. We ran up to the HoH room, chatted with Craig, and thought it was a brilliant idea. Woo, well, that's official now (if no one is BSing). I mentioned that we needed numbers and that each of us should branch onto one other before for numbers and information. I wasn't too concerned about what Craig would do because I know he was going to keep Shilpa and I safe. At the Nomination Ceremony, Craig had nominated Jillian and Harry for eviction. As Rachelle stated, she nominated Ash as the third nominee. During the Veto competition, Ash showed us he was here to stay and won the the Golden Power of Veto. Obviously, he saved himself, and Shelia was nominated by the MVP Rachelle. Now, tonight is the LIVE eviction vote and either Jillian and Shelia will be leaving. Everyone is saying to vote how they feel so it'll be random, but I do believe that is very irrational. I'm waiting around to see if either one of the nominees will campaign to stay... but I guess not?
Now, it seems that the other houseguests are now starting to group up as well. I can tell by conversations in this group chat with the active HGs that there are bigger connections. I really want win the next Head of Household competition. I want some more insight and information.
I'm skeptical of Ika and Drew (even though I want to him to be on my good side due to his popularity). Craig has told me he is close with Christine and Christopher. Shilpa seems close with Christine too. I feel close with Monet and Rachelle but I feel like we need to discuss some things. Monet will be a good swing vote in the future I feel. Christopher is a nice fellow and I wouldn't mind working with him.

So, this week has ended up being a wild one. First, Drew wins the Head of Household, so I felt safe. At the Nomination ceremony, Drew proved me right as he nominated Shelia and Monet. Monet is someone I want to keep around for a vote, but at times, she is no where to be where to be found. Big Brother held a task for this week for the MVP, we had to find six pictures that make a puzzle. Who won? Who the hell knows? Ika was interrogating me the whole if I was searching for the images. Ah... yeah? I want to make sure the trio is safe plus some others. The MVP nominated Rachelle... well, damn, I didn't want to see happen. At the PoV competition, Christopher won the Power of Veto. I didn't know rather or not he'd use it. So, of course, he did as a plan to "out" the MVP. That is a dumb ass excuse honestly. I like Christopher, but I believe it's more to that. After Christopher vetoed the MVP nominee, the MVP then nominated Craig. Whoa here. What. the. fuck?
Who could this MVP be? I have my speculations, but I'm not trying to be confrontational about it. I think Ika may be trying to play a little game of "who done it?" Who knows... they're just stirring up drama.
Oh, the day was sunny, the birds were chirping, and we were splashing around in the backyard. Then a storm comes, the thunder rumbles and the lightening is lighting up the sky. Christopher calls a house meeting. Oh, boy, here we go. Christopher calls out the group of 9 saying that he wasn't laying down to be put out. He was told by multiple sources about this "alliance." That he was there to do something about it and break up the group of 9. Ah, that's something that was needed. Thank you for that, but then he goes on how the MVP was someone in the group of 9 and they're trying to push Ash/Christopher (himself)/and Shelia out the door. I could see that going down that way, yes. But would be that daring? *thinks of Ika* After his meeting everyone was quiet and branched out of the living room. Yes, the 9 of us are all guilty, some of us more guilty than others. For me... I'm not guilty for shit. Yes, I was in a group of 9 that started out because we were the more active crew of the cast. Then little ole Ika says "we can make this an alliance of 9." How the fuck could I say no? I said nothing and nodded my head. I don't like her... no no. Oh, she's the one who wanted this to become an alliance. About 10 minutes later after Christopher announces his plan, Ika goes bat shit crazy (once again). She claims that she was all by herself from the get go and she was done with the alliance. Heh, look at her saving herself, jumping from a ship that was already sinking. She announces she is keeping Shelia publicly. You go girl, you're sooooo smart.
Kat, where in the fuck did you find this broad, Ika? The Zoo?
Craig worries me at times because I know he's a likable character. Who else might he be aligned with? I think it's more to him than he is letting on. I feel a very snake-y vibe from him: whatever it takes. I want the trio to stick together, but I question him. What if he told Christopher? Craig is very close to Christopher even after the Veto stunt he had pulled. What is going on with these people?
I'm honestly lost at this given moment on what to believe. This vote and this upcoming week will be very showy as in who is with who. I feel very vulnerable to be put up and booted out of this game.
Post by Ivette Corredero on Feb 23, 2015 22:28:56 GMT -5
Who do I believe told Christopher?
Rachelle, after all, was saved by #IHaveSomethingToSay. Craig is close with Christopher and told both Shilpa and I that they're close. Drew worries a lot as well.
Or one person told him and Christopher told a little white so we wouldn't lynch mob the person. Personally, I don't care that the group was outed, I care that we have a Andy in the house. I hated that dude.
Who do I believe is the MVP?
Ika... she is over the top with this issue. It's like she has got caught and is trying to deflecting the alliance, etc.
Christopher... what if he plotted this whole agenda himself, but someone still had to tell him about the group.
Post by Ivette Corredero on Mar 1, 2015 17:07:28 GMT -5
Yes, Gretchen, we should totally just stab Caesar Rachelle. Oh boy, oh boy, this week in the house has been a hot-fucking-mess. Ivette has gotten spicy and loud as fuck.
The week started off very shaky to begin with. The mental games of 'Who Was the MVP?' were still being played. With the group of 9 was outed, you could tell that lines were drawn from it, but honestly, it was a blessing in disguise. It revealed bonds and it revealed who I could trust and who I couldn't trust. The race to become the next Head of Household was very important. This game is like a book and we're in the rising action of it.
At the Household of Household competition, we had to match voices to a houseguest. Each of us did this separately in the backyard. This competition was not up my alley and began to panic during my session. I placed random faces in the empty squares hoping luck would be on my side. At the results, Ash answered all 20 correctly and had the fastest time. The nervousness starts to ensue as I don't know where I stand with Ash. He is very hard to talk to, seems very standoffish.
At the Nomination ceremony, Ash spared me by nominating both Dan and Monet. Now, it was time to reveal the MVP twist to the house. Oh joy, my picture showed up and I get the opportunity to feel the heat. My gut feeling was telling me it was either Drew or Craig, but I didn't want to point any fingers. Drew and I have on/off conversations throughout the whole season. Craig has to know I do not trust him via Shilpa. So, I head to the lounge area to hang out with the houseguests. Um, hello? I was being ignored and avoided. I felt like I had Ebola and everyone was trying their best to avoid me. I began to wonder why people were quiet, but then it answer hit me... "they probably think I'm was the MVP." Hours passed before the first houseguest came up to me. Christine came to say hello and ask how I was doing. We chatted for a good while and she revealed that others actually believe I was the MVP. This is great... I'm assuming I'm public enemy #1. She wished me the best at the Power of Veto competition. A few more hours later, I decided it was rest and relaxation time on the hammock. Wine and cigarettes, what a perfect night. I was down and out from being the blamed, I felt defeated. Ika makes her way over to the hammock and I was thinking "oh, god, Ika." She tells me that we need to talk, so of course, I was an adult and agreed. "I heard you were after me," Ika said. I nodded and told her the truth, I was after her. I told her she is very extra with her tantrums and I felt she was the MVP last week. She told she believe I was the MVP as well. So, basically, we were pointing figures at one another. She unknowingly co-signed with what Christine said... people believe I was the MVP. Ouch. We leave the conversation alone after I showed my annoyance. The trio alliance with Shilpa and Craig was slowly deteriorating. I heard from them less and less after my nomination.
At the Power of Veto competition, we had to figure out who was who in distorted pictures. I totally bombed it right away when I thought Rachelle was Jillian. Ash swept away the competition and won the Power of Veto. It was obvious that he wasn't planning on using the Veto on me. We had no connection, so I know he felt no obligation in saving me. At the Veto ceremony, Ash did not use the GPOV on either one of us. Either Dan, Monet, or I would be leaving the house this week. It was the first time I didn't care if Monet left the game. Better her than me. My mood was awful again, I was miserable being around these people. How Ivette of I, right? Ika of all people comes to comfort me and tells me is beginning to think the MVP was Christopher. We apologized for pointing the blame on each other. We mentioned to each other that there were some shady people in the game. We were being played. Ika then informed me she wanted me to stay in the game. Awesome, great news. I was very reluctant though, I haven't trusted her all game...why start now? I thank here and tell her I wanted some time to myself. The next morning, Christine and I in the bathroom preparing for the day. She tells me how she would love for me to stay, that she does trust me and she doesn't think I was the MVP. I do trust Christine, she seems to have her head on her shoulders. She establishes that I need another vote and she will try to help campaign. Drew walks in the bathroom and asks to speak to me. Drew and I go for coffee and a cigarette...yes, Ivette loves her cigarettes. Drew informs me he was the MVP and that he nominated me. He felt guilty about it and says that Ash mentioned as a nominee. We begin to talk about the mysterious MVP and how no one has really spoken to me excluding a few people. He states that he trusts that I wasn't the MVP and that he has his suspicions. I begin to tell him how my own alliance hasn't spoken to me, but I didn't care for Craig as of late anyhow. He starts feeling extremely bad about nominating me now and regrets the decision. He wishes he made a power move now, but felt with Monet and Dan on the block it wouldn't work. I can agree with that. I forgave Drew as he promised to keep me in the game. Drew informs me that Rachelle is shady and told him that I told her about how I had both Ika and Christine's vote. This girl is so two-faced. I felt a connection with her, but she has decided I'm her enemy. Okay, girlfriend. She starts campaigning to Ika for Monet to be saved. What a snake. If you want me out then cut the bullshit. Her "acting" in our conversations was so transparent and was very unbelievable.
A new alliance has been formed Ivette's Angels as they have saved me from the end of the road. Christine, Drew, Ika and I formed the group of four moving forward. Obviously, we need some trustworthy individuals to get through this scheming game. So, let's hope that everyone can keep their word.
At the Eviction ceremony, I was saved by newly formed alliance. I'm sure a few others shit themselves that I was still breathing inside the house. I have to start fighting to stay in this game. No more riding it out, I'm a target. Before Monet left the house, she calls out Rachelle for exposing the alliance. Then reveals Christine was the MVP in week three. I'm very skeptical of it, but why would she say that? All I know Christine saved me, I think? This is fucking crazy. Christopher and I had a small chat while waiting for the next competition. He still believes I was the MVP and thinks I acted angry after I posted the meeting. Mhm, I was a little ticked off, we had someone but us in jeopardy. He and I should agree to disagree honestly. He will continue to think I was MVP until the season is over. I told him I believe he could've been the MVP. So, we're probably going to go after each other.
To add to this, Ika told me that Craig told her about how I didn't like her and was after her. It just adds evidence that Craig is shady.
This next Head of Household is very important, I have to give it my all. Stones will be thrown this week. A big move will be made either from my side of the house or from the opposing houseguests.

Oh, how a week in the Big Brother house makes a difference in the game. A new alliance with people I wouldn't have thought of aligning with. Again, a blessing in disguise.
Post by Ivette Corredero on Mar 11, 2015 18:25:26 GMT -5
When real life issues are effecting my game.
Wow, what a week outside of the Big Brother house, but instead of the house the truth came out. The alliance between Christine, Drew, and Ika proved to complete bullshit. Although, Drew and Christine did vote to keep me in the game. They were aligned with Shilpa and Ash, I believe.
At the Nomination ceremony, Rachelle nominated the duo of Christine and Drew. The MVP nominated Dan. The truth comes out... Drew was the MVP during week 3. I was no longer blamed. All the attention was on Drew it seemed. Christine ended up winning the Veto which meant I was the pawn. I was told I was staying, but I was very nervous. At the eviction ceremony, I squeaked by and at least had made jury.
That night, we had to create funny bits with our houseguests. My mind was everywhere and I didn't know what to do or say. I sat there staring at all my creations then I panicked when I saw I had 30 minutes. I was overthinking it and felt rushed because of real life. Shilpa ended up having the funniest bitstrip and claimed HoH for her second time. At the nomination ceremony, Shilpa nominated both Ash and Christopher for eviction. Phew... my ghost must've kept me safe. At the Veto competition, Ash won the Veto stating people to take notes. Of course, he saves himself and I'm on the block once again. Which is all my fault, I haven't been around. I have been told I was staying, but I will not believe it until the vote is read.
I need to make an impression. It's a must. I can't linger any longer.
