Yay final 11! I was super nervous for MVP and I couldn't be happier that I'm safe. I don't really think I'd have been in trouble with the #vote2save, but you never know. It's terrifying to be on the block regardless.
So having said all that, I'd be silly not to look into this week. There's a lot of good data out there, and for those of you who don't know, data is boss. Knowledge is power. You can't ignore the facts! So let's look at the facts:
- Rachelle knocked Ash out first in the HOH competition in week 2. -Rachelle nominated Ash as MVP. -Ash claims to have only found 5 pieces. -Ash was seen online around the time the MVP winner was announced, and when the renom was named.
So, using all this data, it's extremely apparent to me that Ash won MVP this week. And that doesn't scare me. That screams "opportunity" to me. Now that Ash has already made me safe for the week, I can approach him for a deal. It won't seem facetious, and it's not. I think that I'm going to need Ash in this game. New plan: form a new squad with Christine and Ash. I say this, because I'm worried about a potential new trio. Let's look at some more facts:
-Rachelle knocked Craig out last in HOH#2. -Craig repeatedly stated he didn't think he and Rachelle were that close. -Craig listed Chris as his "number" when Ivette, Craig, and myself were listing people that we could keep close. -Chris vetoed Rachelle. -Chris and Rachelle never talk to me about groups.
So looking at this data, Rachelle, Chris, and Craig have all worked to help each other in this game. The only contradicting piece of information is how early Rachelle knocked Chris out of the HOH#2, but things can change.
I could be reading too much into things. I love exploiting the system, and maybe Chris does too, and that's honestly why he did what he did. But actions speak louder than words. I don't want to be blind if the writing's on the wall, and there has to be more going on in this game than what I'm seeing. There just has to be. Yesterday, when I talked to Chris about alliances, and he said "I'm hesitant because game hasn't really started etc" I see through that. I know it's a lie because it's the same bullshit I feed other people (maybe I should change that )
So anyway, I have all this information and I have no idea how to act on it. Processing that is next. I know that I want Chris out, but that could upset Craig and/or Rachelle, both of whom I like quite a bit, and I don't think either are after me anytime soon. I know that I want to form a new trio with Christine and Ash. Christine wants a group, and I want Ash. Ash seems savvy and it seems like he's going to make it to the jury stage. I want Ash in my corner.
It's hard because Craig and I formed such a strong bond on Day 1. And I don't want to go against him at all. My next conversation with him is going to be about how Chris saved Rachelle. How he navigates that conversation will be so telling.
Gameplan: -Cultivate my relationship with Ash. Approach Christine with nearly all of this info and get her on board with a group thing with Ash. He's alone and it's time to strike. -Discuss everything with Ivette. She's in the trio with me and Craig and she needs to be wary of him also, just in case there's more going on. -Get Sheila evicted. Not sure how much I'm going to do to achieve this but I want Craig and Monet here, not Sheila. -Ask Craig about Chris saving Rachelle.

Okay everything's saved.
I'm so frustrated. I can't with Monet right now. Okay so really quickly I need to vent. Monet, Rachelle and I formed a blast chat, so now I have my third trio alliance lol. But this is unimportant. Basically after the blast was formed, Monet came to me individually and told me she figured out who Chris was through mutual friends. I am not exactly sure how it happened but it seemed like Chris was telling people who are not in the game, about the game, and then they told Monet. Or maybe Monet was in the skype call that was going on, and he didn't know? I don't know and I don't care.
But now Monet wants to use this as an angle to stay safe with Chris. And I'm just so annoyed. I guess the name of the game is to adapt but I hate hate hate when stuff like this happens. I am so so careful to not let my alias slip. I lie about my major, hometown, part time job, what I'm eating for dinner, what meetings I'm going to, JUST in case. Just in case it comes up later somehow. I lie about everything IRL because I don't want people knowing who I am, because that's what the hosts expect. They expect us to protect our aliases. And it's so fucking annoying when people don't do it, or abuse it.
I'm not trying to get Monet or Chris in trouble. I don't think Chris meant anything like this to happen by being careless, and I don't think Monet knows she's doing anything wrong. But it's so annoying! I just want to play big brother. Social politics of friendships and whatnot shouldn't be involved.
