So Busto just got evicted. The mafia had the pleasure of busting a bullet through her little inactive head. So that was loads of fun. I was sick of her being very quiet and eating her fingernails all day.
Anyways, everyone was told to wear athletic clothing before this HoH, so I'm really excited. I am the Endurance competition Queen. These are the competitions I excel at if it's an athletic competition, I'm sure that I can kick that disgusting Red head's perverbial ass!
So we walk out into the backyard, and I see all these stairmasters, like the kinds you see at the gym. I also noticed Brian is hosting instead of Chenbot. Knowing her, she's getting all her wiring reworked after she let an expletive out on national television during Busto's eviction. Good Job Chenbot!
Brian: "Welcome houseguests to your next HoH competition. Russel, as outgoing HoH, you are not eligible to compete. This competition is called Countdown. Each one of you will mount one of these stairmaster machines. Each of you will have to perform 10 turns of the stairmaster in one minute to hit the number 1. The goal is to count up on the stairmaster to a number of your choice. Once you hit that number, you begin counting down. The person who counts up the most and completes their countdown will become the new HoH. If you do not perform all 10 turns in one minute, you will be disqualified."
I'm ready to do this, bring it on HG's. I've been one of the more low key players in this game so far. Week 3 has been, and always will be the pivotal week. It's my turn to step it up, protect my camp in Gold for another week, and accomplish something with this HoH competition.

So the HoH competition is ready to begin, and we all mount our machines. Brian gives us the countdown and tells us to go. Counting up on the stairmaster machine was like a piece of cake. I just made sure I clocked my 10 turns at a nice and steady pace, of 1 per every 4 or 5 seconds, to allow for some wiggle room. Once the competition started, Cassandra just stopped... like she just didn't try. Then she went over to Russel and complained that she needed some Chicken and Grape Kool-Aid... AWKWARD! Not two minutes later, Shelly and James, mister Rookie who's supposed to be all experienced just quit as well. I'm in shock James has quit the HoH comp practically. Momma Shelly will just complain that her boob job messed her up, or something redonkulous. James just threw the competition and everyone knows it. I know that cat is slicker than WD40, so that's certainly something to watch for this week.
Not far behind in the losers camp. The first member of the Mafia alliance, Drew does the competition for about 13 minutes or so and quits as well. I am absolutely distraught with these players so far. I understand some of them want to throw the competition, but seriously grow some balls and put up some effort. I thought you people signed up to play Big Brother, not go to my little pussy summer camp.
30 minutes in to the competition:
So we're down to nine houseguests in the competition. I'm feeling pretty comfy right now. Endurance competitions don't phase me much. To be honest, I could really just use a glass of wine right now. I'm getting pretty bored, and I need something to take my mind off of all these other HG's just dropping like flies. Shortly after my mind wanders off onto the topic of alcoholic binging, Josh comes off of his machine. I was surprised by his effort. He didn't come into the house all that athletic, and it seemed as though he just fell off by accident.
1 hour and 20 minutes into the competition:
At this point, I don't know if anyone has begun to countdown. Once you're ready to countdown, you have to hit a button on the side of the machine for it to register. At this point, I am shocked to see Cowlia jump off of her machine. The confusion on my face could not have been registered by the Ritcher scale. Kalia sits around all day and eats.. and somehow, by some blessid holy miracle from the likes of God and the Virgin Mary herself, Kalia finished the competition and takes the lead... and Paris Hilton is a virgin. This is funny. I probably should have left my Kalia Kong comments at home, because when she finished her competition, Enzo falls off of his stairmaster and gets eliminated from the competition. At this point, I'm becoming very worried. Russel is on the bench, Drew is dunzo, and Enzo is out as well. Everything is riding on Me, Karen, and Tonya, and we're up against Lori, Jen, and Jee. All three of which may have some sort of an agreement.
1 hour and 40 minutes into the competition:
Things are starting to get tense now, everybody is sweating like they've just been whipped by a schoolteacher. Especially Jen, but she's used to chains and whips, and looks like she's really enjoying herself.
But yea, Tonya successfully gets off at this time and I realize she's in the lead. That's all fine and dandy, but I'm pretty sure a little under two hours won't do us anything.
2 hours and 30 minutes into the competition:
So at this point, Tonya has the HoH key, but there are five of us left all going strong. I can tell a couple of them are on the way down from the looks on their faces, and I know I should consider doing the same very soon. At this point, Karen messes up the amount of spins she has to do within a minute and she gets eliminated from the competition. At this point, I'm thinking I'm all alone. I cannot let either of these three get HoH. Best case scenario is Lori, but I know she's a slick player as well and wasn't even nominated in BBR9. I feel like everything is riding on this HoH competition, and if I don't win, something is going to go horribly wrong.
3 hours and 30 minutes into the competition:
At this point I switch the ticker into countdown mode. I've been going close to four hours and I'm still in pretty good shape. I can tell from the looks of the Mafia, that they are scared to death of anybody else getting this HoH. Subsequently, Jen finishes out her run and takes the lead. Jen winning HoH is probably the worst case scenario, because she is probably the most untrustworthy person in this game in my eyes. I called a truce with her last week, but I'm not sure how much stock I can put in that. Jen knows I'm a good player and she feels threatened by that end of story. Jen knows that I was the only person in our past game who had any clue there was more than meets the eye and she knows I can piece things together. If she gets HoH she's going to put me up on the nomination block, so I have to win in order to prove to her she's safe and hopefully guarantee my safety if she gets HoH in the near future.
3 hours and 50 minutes into the competition:
Chimmy Chong ding dong surprisingly gets off of his stairmaster and takes the lead from slutface Jen. Jee, albeit better than Jen, is still a horrible HoH for me. Jee and I have barely talked, he's barely on, and I think he's one of Jen's cronies. Luckily for me 12 minutes later, Lori finished up and takes the lead.
At this point, I know I have to finish my countdown. While I feel safe with Lori, I'm not sure everyone else in my alliance is safe. Lori is very hard to get a read on. She withholds a lot of information and wants to take in as much as she possibly can to play you. Very obvious strategy based on all the conversations I've had with her. I like the girl a lot, but I know if she gets this HoH she's going to be calculated with her nominations.
7 hours into the competition:
Lori has been on the bench waiting for me to screw up for hours upon hours, and I've only got a few minutes to go. I'm tired as a dog, but I know everyone is depending on me. This is about determination and will, and I will be damned if I fail this competition now.
7 hours and 2 minutes into the competition:
*Steps off of the machine*
And she's ready to play folks!
Russel: "Congratulations Rachel! You're the new Head of Household!"
Ah!! I'm so excited! I don't care how long I had to go for, I knew the Mafia needed the HoH and I brought it. I'm sure absolutely nobody expected this much out of Rachel Plencner, but guess what folks I'm here to play. Give me some snacks, give me a pillow, I'm not going anywhere. Do I have a target on my back now, absolutely but I know that to get further in this game, you have to win competitions and you have to make power moves. I've got the power for a week, and I'm going to play this week off as calculated as I possibly can. In short.
-
So within maybe 10 minutes after the HoH, Jen's dumb, skanky, smelly, herpes infested self comes into the All Stars room and asks if she's going up even though we called a truce two days ago. Jen asking this seems very suspect of her. Like I understand we obviously are not going to be BFF's in this game, but bottom line I told her she wasn't going up. If she feels the need to come badger me, as soon as I get HoH, it says a lot about her true colors and I do not appreciate that on her part. At this moment in time, I plan on honoring our deal, but she is acting very shady, which doesn't set well with me. Kalia and Josh talked with me a little bit before the HoH, and I assured them afterward they were not in the line of fire. I'm pretty confident, one of them may be part of the "Jenuinely skanks" alliance, but I'm not concerned with that too much right now. After this competition, I hammered out all of the options with the Mafia, and determined.
Shelly
James
Jee
Cassandra
Are my main options this week. I have a lot to think about for this nominations ceremony. Do I want to nominate two pawns, and backdoor James or Jee? Do I want to put up Cassandra and Jee since I think they are Jen's cronies? Do I want to consider backdooring James because I know he's a major threat and his lack of effort in the HoH gives me a reason to put him up. Either way I need to consider all of the possibilities for this nomination ceremony. At the end of the day, I'm not here for vindication, I'm not here for revenge. I'm only here for myself, and the nominations I make this week will reflect that.
