Week 12
Houseguests: Cassandra Waldon, James Rhine, Josh Welch, Karen O'Neil, Russell Kairouz
With Kalia's eviction, only 5 houseguests remained and each were a step closer to the Final 2.
Final five... wow. It's pretty crazy to think about it.
Well, Kalia is gone. Leaving Karen, Cassandra, James, Josh and Myself. James and Josh are my final three and it looks like it's going to work out!!! At Least I hope it does!
So I know I keep going back and forth on trusting people but this game IS DRIVING ME INSANE!! Paranoia may be getting the better of me haha. One second I trust you, the next I'm questioning our loyalty to one another but I can honestly say no matter how much I flip trusting people Josh and James are Definetly always trusted 100% no matter what else I say haha.
I want James or Josh to win this next HOH.. Why? Because I made a deal with Karen that I wouldn't nominate her but she still needs to go home. I agree she is a strong player which is why it makes that much more sense to get her out.
Cassandra and I have been talking but whenever she and I talk it's very simple. We say our "Hi's" Our "Congrat's" but we haven't talked game in a long while.. So once Karen and Cassandra are evicted it will leave Josh, James and Myself AKA my Ideal Final 3!
The new HOH competition was called Minesweeper where houseguests did just that: play a game of Minesweeper. Without landing on any mines, James became the new HOH and secured a spot in the Final 4.
I win HoH! My main stratey was working with Cassandra. I was hoping one of us would win it, and I'm glad I did! I knew immediately what I was going to do for nominations.
James won HoH which I was content with. We talked at the end of Kalia's eviction about how we need Russell and Karen out, which as you know is my plan. I want a final three with Josh and James and ideally, to go to the end with Josh. However, I know in the back of mind that there's a possibility of James telling me what I want to hear and telling everyone else what they want to hear. He told me he [would] nominate Joshuah and Russell and that he told them the plan's to backdoor Karen. He told me that he would like Karen evicted over Russell, but I think that's because he's closer to Russell. However, I'm close to both but definitely trust Karen more. She has nobody in this game and at this point, I'm the only one giving her the light of day. If it comes down to me winning the Power of Veto, I'm not going to use it. It'll piss James and Russell (and Josh but he doesn't really matter) off, but it's time for me to start playing my own game. I've been passive for long enough, we're almost at the end so I have to start making the moves that will get me to the end.
Before nominations James decided to let Josh and Russell know his intentions.
[Conversation: James, Josh, Russell]
James: so here's my plan i nominate you two,, and we backdoor karen and i'm serious about it
Russell: What if Karen wins the POV?
James: this is our last chance to get rid of karen
James: karen needs to go this round
Russell: Agreed but.
James: if we dont win pov, she's gonna win the whole thing
James: i'm fighting my ass off to win pov and with you guys on the block, you guys will obviously too
James: im gonna make it seem to karen that i dont like that you two are aligned yada yada to make her feel comfortable enough not to compete hard my entire intention this week is to get rid of karen
Josh: wait, youre nominating BOTH of us???
James: yes sir this is coming from a purely strategic mindframe
Josh: why not play it safe and get both of them nominated to start out with?
James: i spoke with cassandra, and she said she would use the veto on either one of you to backdoor karen this is the only way i can ensure karen goes
Josh: no, its not
James: 4/5 people will use the veto on you guys
Josh: i am not about to sit here and be a fucking pawn in your lame-ass strategy
Josh: like seriously...
James: i'm willing to take the rido you really wanna go there josh?
James: dont start cussing at me i can change gears real quick
Josh: i'm sorry :-\ i just dont like the idea of being a pawn :-\
James: this is what's going to happen i'm nominating you both one of us four is going to win veto the veto will be used karen goes home end of story
Josh: what if karen wins tho??? :-\ thats my concern
James: that's my point i want karen gone this week
James: every time she wins veto, she's been nominated
James: i'm doing my best to make her feel comfortable like im on her side
Josh: right, but if she wins veto this time one of us is gone
James: i can still talk to her about using it but at the end of the day, if karen wins veto, she's most likely going to make final 2 so we all need to feel the pressure of winning veto THIS round no more playing it safe and being comfortable
James: im tired of her being in the house all our asses are on the line so lets give 100% this veto competition and pull out a win
Josh: i still think its better to nominate her from the beginning, we will still fight man, i dont understand why you think we wont
Josh: i dont have to be nominated to give 100%....
James: b/c history's shown that karen wins veto when shes nominated so hopefully, if shes not nominated, she'll be less likely to win
Josh: fuck history! this is NOW! dude, you are making a mistake...
James: i assure you im not i played this game before
James: i know what it takes to win my options are limited
Josh: LOL i've played before too
James: and it sucks b/c i am the closest to you guys in the house
Josh: NUMEROUS ORGS... NUMEROUS WINS
James: but this is the move i'm going to make
Josh: then why are you doing it? your options are NOT limited
Josh: i dont understand...i dont get it
James: like or dislike it, this is what's happening
Josh: then fuck you man..... FUCK YOU!!!!
James: lol
Josh: this game is ONNNNNN!!!!!
James: interesting
Really James?? Really?? I don't know what you're thinking bro.. You want to back-door Karen?? WHY!?!? If Karen wins the veto she'll take Cassie off the block and it will be Josh and I nominated!! Think Clearly man! Either you have a deal with them or you're just not thinking!
James is an idiot. He wants to nominate myself and Russell to backdoor Karen... umm what if she wins veto you moron!!! Ever think of that?
I am fucking pissed off at what's going on here... and it looks like I am in it for myself now... well then so be it!
Josh made a mistake not playing it cool. Even if you're against the plan, don't make it seem that way to the HoH. You're reaction might guarantee Karen to stay another week. I refuse to let this nobody take Karen's 5th place spot on the memory wall. It's time to shake things up a bit here. Game on.
At the nomination ceremony, James turned on his allies.
James: Congrats everyone for making final 5! I nominated you Russell, and you Josh, for eviction.
Reason being, you two are aligned in the house. That was evident when Josh vetoed Russell from the nomination chair last week. I'm sad to see either of you leave, but we're down to 5 and now we're gonna have to start nominating friends, and base decisions, at least from me, from a purely strategic standpoint.
Good luck to everyone in veto! This nomination ceremony is adjourned.
I was impressed that James stuck to his word and nominated Josh and Russell, but there's still the possibility I could be going home. If Russell wins PoV and I'm nominated for some reason, Russell can evict me and James can break the tie. It's just a crazy game and when you're down to this many people left, every Competition matters. This PoV is extremely important not only for my chances of surviving, but for my chances of advancing with the people I want to go forward with. I need to win the PoV this week and get Russell out because this may be the last opportunity to do so. If I win it, I'm golden. If Karen wins it, I'm most likely golden. If James, Russell, or Josh wins it... we'll cross that bridge if it happens.
At this point in the game I really need to start thinking about who I can trust.. My hope is to win the POV and the next HOH.
The Veto competition was called Missing Links. The veto players had to find as many links to images of Link as they could. Finding the most Links was Karen.
Everything worked! Russell didn't show up for the PoV and Karen was pretty dominant in winning <3
Karen had to quickly make a decision and she decided not to use the veto.
At the eviction, Russell finally got the boot when he was evicted by a 2-0 vote.
