Week :: Two

Week 2
On the First Day of Christmas.....


Alright, so as we know, dumbass Rachel was evicted in the beginning of the week. So it was good to get that out of the way and done with.

At the HoH competition, which was Majority Rules, Amy dominated and won against Janelle in an eventual tiebreaker. I was very happy with Amy as HoH because I pretty much felt guaranteed safety with the cheesehead having the power, at least for this second week in the game. We're in the same "group" (which already shows cracks forming as has been expected), we're the only two from Season 3 minus Danielle, and we're both sexy as hell.

Well, Amy chose to put up Michelle and Kaysar for eviction. I was pretty much fine with this since I never talk to either of them.

However, suddenly around this time, "Santa" and a "reindeer" arrived in the house with some fake-ass lists trying to expose the amazing alliance I am a part of. -_- How did I know this would happen, and it would happen this early on?

I've talked around with pretty much everyone, and Drew has already expressed discomfort and not feeling comfortable with everyone in the alliance, as have some others. I think this whole alliance was just the brainchild of David and Janelle in the first place, and it's obviously best for them since they aligned together and each chose 4 people. Hmm.... if that doesn't say something to me than I don't know what does.

The lists have also been exposed as Drew's doing since they were his "skin", however, it could also very likely be someone else in the alliance attempting to frame him as he is a threat in the game. However, I just don't know what to think. I haven't been talking with Drew as much as I did earlier on in this game, but I always had this feeling he was trying to be too nice and please everyone without making anyone upset at anything he says. Pretty much, I feel like he just tells everyone what they'd like to hear...which is a great strategy, until people realize you're doing it. It wouldn't be super shocking to find out behind all of this he is really the most manipulative one or something, but i'd like to think he's not.

Meanwhile, i've talked with James about the whole situation. Not only did James say he trusts me more than most of the people in the alliance, but he does more than Drew, and agrees that we have to feel Drew out to see if what he is saying is the truth. Right now, I do think I feel closest to James out of everyone in this game, with Jee in a close second. I also really like Nakomis but I have a feeling almost everyone really likes her. I have a soft spot for the beautiful Jean Jordan as well...a part of me likes to root for the Underdog, and to have seen her nominated in the first week and to win the Veto and to continue to dominate the competitions just makes me happy in the inside.

Meanwhile, Veto came around. Somehow I was chosen to play which was a miracle, and it was called "Warped Memory".

The competition was a mix-up of all of everyone's faces in some sort of veil. It was pretty hard, it took me over 10 minutes, but that still managed to snag me third place. The one face that had me wrong over and over was Drew's....hmm, could it be a sign from above trying to tell me something? In the end, though, Jean Jordan won again and didn't use the Veto, which was a decision I definitely agreed with.

Michelle forfeited the Veto competition which did not sit well with me at all. I didn't like the fact that someone would give up on a competition when they were nominated; it didn't show any heart to me and was just something I didn't like.

Amy expressed, among others in the alliance, that she would like to see Michelle evicted from the house. Drew was against this but couldn't really provide any reason other than the fact that he wanted her out.

As time went on, however, I talked to people and almost everyone seemed to be saying they were going to vote out Kaysar. The only person I had talked to up to that point that had agreed with my viewpoints were Justin, and that wasn't enough for a majority.

I talked with Michelle before the eviction, and we cleared some things up. The main thing was that since she could do well in competitions if she tried, I wanted to make sure she wouldn't nominate me if she won HoH. She said she wouldn't, so that changed my mind and solidified my vote to keep her on top of the fact that a majority of people seemed to be leaning that way. So, in the end, although I seemed to be gunning for Michelle since Day 1, I chose to evict Kaysar over her.

However, when the eviction came, she was evicted in a vote of 9-7!

I was so confused....what the hell happened? It just didn't match up with what I had been told, and seemingly the time I didn't vote her out she ended up going, which was kind of ironic. Little did I know my vote could have tied it up had I stuck with voting how I was going to vote originally.

This is sure to cause some tension within "the alliance" as obviously not everyone voted in unison and didn't follow HoH Amy's decision to try to get Michelle out, including myself.

I wonder how things will go next week.....
