Nomination Ceremony #8

[Skye Wheatley]

Hey, everyone! Welcome to my first Head of Household ceremony! I've only won Power of Veto competitions so far this season, so this is a whole new experience for me! I don't know how I feel about it ..

This win is better late than never, but I've won at a time where my decision is rather difficult personally and it's going to hurt someone no matter what I do. In this game, I've tried to be everyone's friend. I've tried to get along with everyone. I've tried to bond with others by forming close relationships with them. Some relationships became closer than others, but they're still relationships nonetheless.

I feel like I've been a loyal player to the core alliance that was made at the very start, but it's the end of the game, and I believe I need to start playing for me. Maybe, in some way, I slightly lost focus that this is in fact a game, and I need to make a move if it's what's going to benefit me and help me get to a secured Final 2 position.

I've nominated Boog and Casey.

Boog, you're incredible at these Head of Household competitions. I have no doubt in my mind that you would've given me a run for my money if you were able to compete in it. We've been together for a bit, but I feel like the closer we get to the end, the more likely you are to make it to the F2. I know you were wanting the four of us going to the Final 4, but I don't think that's a good move for me; I have to strike while the iron is hot. We've had nothing but good conversations and we've gotten along well, so please understand that this is only me trying to make a move that helps me get further in the game.

Casey, this one was even harder for me. Since Day 1, you were one of the people I felt I had a strong connection to. I feel that you and I are extremely similar in how we've approached this game. We both got included into the group alliance for being outgoing, social players, but also branched out to be close to people outside our group. I think we both came in here wanting to be friendly, play cleanly, and try and make it far without having to be the bad guy, which I think we've done, but its hurt us. I've realized that this is still a game, and we have to make necessary moves to make it to the very end.

Good luck to both of you!

Don't stress out too much Skye. I mean, yeah it sucks to be up on the block but I haven't take a personal or vindictive approach to this game so far and I don't plan starting to do so now. It's the end of a Big Brother game and you're doing what you feel have to do - I get that. I am going to fight to win the veto and hopefully win a competition in what feels like the first time in a million years. We'll see how that goes, ugh.

Anyways seriously, there aren't hard feelings on my end. I am of course nervous about being nominated, but this is just a game. That doesn't mean I am just willing to throw in the towel but I am not going to make a mountain out of a mole hill.
