Week 11
Houseguests: Cassandra Waldon, James Rhine, Josh Welch, Kalia Booker, Karen O'Neil, Russell Kairouz
We were down to six houseguests and it was still anyone's game to win.
My 3rd HoH Reign is over and Tonya is gone.. Which means Karen is still here.. Which in Turn means Josh, James, or Kalia NEED TO WIN THIS HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD AND KEEP ME SAFE!
Well since there are only six of us left in the house I figured now would be a good time to turn our Final Four into a final three.. James and I have been talking about getting Kalia out for a while she just has too many connections in the jury house. I really like talking to Kalia but in the end I want to be one of the people in the Final 3 or maybe further? So James and I established that It should be Josh, James, and Myself in the Final 3 and James and I in the Final two.. So what did I do?? I talked to my buddy Josh and Secured a final 2 with him as well.. I think if it comes down to me verses James then James will win this game for sure.. But If It comes down to Josh and I then I actually stand a chance at taking it all.
I know I've had a F2 with James for a while but it's really something to think about... Am I playing for Second place? Or First?? That's an OBVIOUS answer.. My only problem would be betraying James.. He's my friend and I don't want to do that to him.
The new HOH competition was called Rice Collectors. Houseguests had to endure collecting rice for that nation by answering questions. With little competition Karen won her second HOH competition.
Good heavens it's as if these people are handing me the damn challenges lately. Did everyone just fall off the face of the planet and decide they didn't want to play anymore? Weird. OH well, if that's how easy the rest of the competitions are going to be then I should be fine when I can play. LOL.
Not sure about who I'm going to nominate yet. I'm thinking James and Russell. One or both of them have deals with the remaining houseguest guaranteeing they make finals. So, I figure if one goes then dealing with one "play all angles" player is better than two. I'm going to talk to Cassandra and Josh and see if we can pull something together. Maybe they totally hate me, idk. Cassandra seems to be the only other person who still has her head in the game besides Russell.
Ugh why can't we catch a break!! But I have to hand it to Karen she's whippin some ass in this game! But we all know who she's gonna put up me and Russell :/ but hey better her then me right getting all these people out so I don't have to do the dirty work. So if russell and I go up I know I have James vote from what he told me awhile back and I may have Cassandra's vote to stay because Russell nominated her. But I HAVE to win POv no matter what!
REALLY?
James, Josh, and Kalia!! I was depending on you guys for this Head Of Household but when you guys ALL didn't finish the Comp that's sad... I Honestly don't know who I can trust anymore I feel like they threw the comp.
At the nomination ceremony, Russell nominated houseguests he was distant with.
Karen: Hello my fellow houseguest and welcome to the nomination ceremony. I sort of thought about this long and hard. I tried to totally reevaluate things and get a better feel for where people stand. I took everything that's happened in this game into consideration. I'm not sure how successful I was or will be but my nominations are purely strategic.
Obviously that leaves James, and Russell. I really did not want to nominate Cassandra and Josh for giving that challenge a try. It was a tough endurance challenge.
James I've nominated you because at this point in the game it's odd that you're even still in it considering you are a vet. You're a huge threat and how you've mananged to fly under the radar I do not know but I applaud you for that.
Russell, this back and forth thing between you and I has to stop somewhere and if that means we keep nominating each other until one of us is out then that's what that means. Or if it means we try to work something out to keep each other safe from now on because I think we've both played the best game so far then hey I'm up for that. More importantly I feel like you have a few deals in place with the remaining houseguest that have kept you alive this long, as well as being a huge challenge threat.
Again, it's not really personal it's simply strategic. Good luck to both of you in the veto competition.
So I wrote Karen today.. Her Nomination speech really had me thinking and I've decided if their is anyone i'd like to see win besides myself it'd probably be her.. She is a Fighter.. Nominated SO MANY TIMES and still in the Final 6??? That is AMAZING.. So anyways I made a deal with her. If she keeps me safe this week I will not Nominate her any more when I win HOH and I mean it!!! She'd be saving my life in this game..
Karen wins HoH, as expected for any endurance driven HoH. Russell and I are nominated. I actually want to win veto this week.
The Veto competition was called Carrying Others Weight. In this challenge houseguests were given tasks then the houseguests raced to finish the task. Every round the last to finish would be eliminated. Surviving every round and winning the veto was Josh.
Right after winning, Josh had to make his decision. He decided to veto Russell. Karen then chose Kalia to replace him.
ANNNND JOSH WINS THE POV AND USES IT ON ME!!!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!
But now Kalia and James are up on the block.. I voted to evict Kalia because James, Josh, and I have a Final 3 Deal.. I feel really bad about it because as I've said before I LOVE KALIA!!! She's Great but I honestly don't know if she would take me very far after this round.
So I reach the F2 of the PoV with Josh and I decide that I don't want to win (I can't rly say I threw it because I was kinda trying and Josh legitimately beat me so good for him) because I didn't want to be in the position where I wouldn't PoV Russell and plus, I haven't talked to Josh at all this game. Like literally, this was the first time I talked to him. So I wanted to see where his head was ~at~ and boy did I! He saved Russell (ugh) and of course Karen flipped out, which was pretty lulz.
Karen basically is going off on this tirade about how anyone who isn't playing with her is playing for Russell (which is kinda true, but it's not because they aren't playing for her, it's because they're just morons) and she/Josh fought. So Karen nominated Kalia, which I was okay with I guess. She hasn't rly done anything and just seems kinda mysterious and not in a good way. The core of Russell/James/Kalia was never really that good for me because I was always on the outs.
So I beast moded this live-PoV comp... until my computer crashed lol. So then I just helped Josh find all the answers. Ended up working out, because Kalia, the big wildcard, was nominated against me (whereas if Josh was nominated against me, I would lose a closer ally).
But Josh not using the veto on me despite me giving him all the answers to the veto comp shows me how close him and Russell are. So eff that man, need to break that up.
But idk if I'd prefer to get rid of Josh or Karen first. It makes my skin crawl knowing that Karen's fan club is dancing for joy in the loser's lounge. Shutting them up would probably be the most rewarding thing I could do.
After the veto meeting, a live eviction happened where Kalia was unanimously evicted and became the sixth member of the jury.
