Skye's Diary Room

[Skye Wheatley]

I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. Last night, I immediately jumped right into socializing and it reminded on just how tedious it can be! Luckily, this cast isn't huge and there are only eleven other people to get to know. Of 'course, there's always those one or two people that aren't on the same social level as most of the cast, and we could have an easy couple of boots to start the game out. I'm unsure as to who those people could be. I personally have yet to speak with Gary, Russell, and Sheila. Gary, however, registered and checked in early. It also looked like he added his screenname last night around the time I got off to get into bed. I'll have to touch base with him today at some point, because I don't want to head into results without having missed speaking with anyone. As for Russell and Sheila, I haven't seen them around much at all, in any capacity. It's the start of the game though; things can change rather fast.

Out of the people I spoke to last night, only a few really stand out to me. First, is Candice. She definitely was the most chatty and we had some fun moments in our conversation. I can tell that she's going to be one of those players that the majority seem to enjoy. Therefore, she's going to be a social threat to me. I think that I need to keep cozying up to her for now, so that her allies, are my allies. No need to rock the boat just yet, but I have my eye on her. Another person that I enjoyed was Calum. I had some serious blonde moments [legit] during the conversation, which made it even funnier. He was talking about his longboard, and I thought that meant surfing. So, I kept talking about how I'd suck trying to get onto my board in the water. I went on for about three minutes until he's like, "no, no; longboard as in the long skateboard!" I hope he doesnt' think I'm a total doof, LMAO. So awkward. He was really nice about it though.

The other person that stood out to me was Casey. I was already on a couple hours before he finally came around, but when he did, he delivered. He's a good conversationalist. I can see him and I getting along well in the game, but something was on my mind during our chat. Now, please don't think I'm on an alias hunt .. but he is so familiar to me. The way he types, his likes, and his dislikes? It's familiar but I can't put my finger on it yet. It reminded me last night that I need to get my alias together, myself. All I have right now is that I'm from Maine and a waiter. I need to flesh out the details. Other than Candice, Calum, and Casey [all C's], everyone else was alright, but no standouts. I'd give an honorable mention to Joey because we had a decently lengthy conversation, but it was your run-of-the-mill introductory chat. I'm disappointed with Boog and Tahan, because I really wanted to work with them in some Aussie thing, but they weren't as captivating. It's still an option, but meh.

I love Greg, but I don't know what's going on. We've only been strictly talking via PM, even with the AIM situation fixed. I hope he starts to use AIM, because if he doesn't, I don't think he's going to be long for this game. I think he might be my favorite? Or close second? But, yeah. Also, Jeff has himself a new Ford Focus. :3 Ladykiller.

[Skye Wheatley]

I really don't want to win Head of Household. The past few seasons, the Majority Rules' winner has been decided via eliminations. I don't want to be one of the first people out, but I also don't want to be one of the last people out. Going out first just makes you look like you don't have any luck on your side, and it's kinda' embarrassing too. I don't want to be a Brian Hart or Jessica Hughbanks! ;x On the other end, I don't want to go out near the end, because it might make me look dangerous, in the sense that I almost won. If someone I haven't spoken to wins, in that situation, they could easily put me up and say, 'I felt if you won and not me, you would've put me up!' So, my goal when I answered was to try and decide what I felt would send me out around the third to fifth round; anywhere in between. I know I said I didn't want to throw anything, but I think winning Head of Household in this first week isn't really necessary for me. I feel like I've made decent rounds and have a durable foundation set to carry me through this week and possibly set me up for the future.

The only people I wouldn't feel comfortable with winning Head of Household are probably Gary, Sheila, and Russell. Why? I haven't spoken to them! I have yet to see Sheila and Russell online. I'm confused by Sheila's screenname; how do you even make something for AIM via Twitter? Casey and I were laughing about that earlier today, too. Casey thinks that it's Sheila's phone number and teased calling it. He was worried that if she has friends in this game, they'll realize who Sheila is, because that'd be her phone number. I told him it's doubtful, because anyone who's established in this community likely knows how to register a proper username, so Sheila is probably a noob to this scene. I mean, unless Sheila is an absolute genius at aliasing! You never know! If there's one person in this cast that I'm frustrated with more than anything though, it's Gary. He's been online all day and I've messaged him a few times, but he hasn't replied back or anything. He did message me back when I was offline, but ugh. We're in a game of tag, and him winning HOH might make me sweat. Can he pretty please just lose? Sheila and Russell, too!

I've spoken to everyone that I met yesterday, just to keep up appearances. I want my social presence to be felt, so that if someone undesirable does win Head of Household, nobody should be throwing my name out there as someone who isn't around or doesn't talk.

[Skye Wheatley]

Head of Household was a success! I went out in one of the rounds I preferred to and a good winner was crowned! I'll admit, I started sweating profusely when I saw Gary in the final moments of that competition. I was definitely all for Casey winning, but I was happy with Boog walking away with the key, too. Boog is one of those players that I haven't had a continuous conversation with. She and I will talk for a few minutes, and it'll flow nicely, but then the chat sort of dies out because there's no content that pushes it further. It'll end with a "yeah, I love that" or "I know, right" and then no more talking after that. I'm comfortable with her and I'd like to think she's comfortable with me, though! I always try and push the Australian connection between both of us. Today, she seemed to acknowledge that fact too; finally! She hadn't been biting at it before, but today after she made her nominations and I thanked her for my key, she said, "Us Aussie girls need to stick together!" I don't want to read into it too much, but it's something. I'll keep building off that and hammering away at it. I want to keep doing that with Tahan, too.

Speaking of nominations, Jeff and Sheila are on the block. They would have probably been my nominations this week aswell. They are the least active players in the cast. I think the first week is all about that, anyway. You want to go around and meet everyone and whoever doesn't meet a good amount of the players, usually hits the block in the first set of nominations. As of now, I would probably vote out Sheila? I mean, I don't care. It could go either way for me. I just think Jeff is funny and I've had maybe two, three-line conversations with him. While that's pretty abysmal, it's better than my zero conversations with Sheila. Nobody's really talking about their preference as to who goes yet. Right now, it's all about keeping nominations the same. Unfortunately, I didn't get picked to play for the Power of Veto, so I have to sit back and hope that neither Jeff nor Sheila walk away with the medallion. I'd actually be pretty shocked if they did. If one of them does, then kudos! For real, they'll deserve it for everyone I've spoken to, underestimating their ability.

I finally got to have a conversation with Russell and had a longer chat with Gary. Let's start with the negative, just to get it out of the way! I don't like Gary. Not even a little bit. There isn't a redeeming quality about him for me. To me, he's the equivalent of what Talla was to Rhian in AS1. However, instead of Talla's constant discussions about sex and alcohol, Gary likes to get super in character and only talk about glitter and heels. I'm not about that; it's grating, honestly. I felt like I had to keep trying and trying to keep the chat going. Gary didn't seem too interested in talking to me, as he always fled the chat and I was the one trying to pick up the pieces and keep it flowing. Eventually, I grew tired of it and let it die. I haven't spoken to him in almost twenty-four hours now, too. For everyone else, it's always gone both ways. I'll message them, they'll message me. Gary, nope! But, that's fine! #ByeFelicia! I can't wait for you to leave the game! Onto the good! Russell is pretty great! I'm glad I didn't write him off for not being around the first day and a half. He's actually very nice! He's really flirty, too. I've enjoyed my conversations with him so far and I hope we keep up appearances with one another.

Also, I miss Greggles! He's one of my favorites and I haven't seen him today. He's actually Australian, just like Tahan, which I think makes them special~! I thought it was interesting. As for the others, I've been keeping up chats with Calum, Casey, Joey, and Candice.

[Skye Wheatley]

Sheila left! Good. That's one person down that I never had a conversation with. Not much happened on the campaigning front. I spoke to Russell and Candice about the vote, as not many people were on yesterday, and they said they were evicting Sheila for doing well in the Power of Veto and being the least social of she and Jeff. Same reasons as me! Speaking of Candice, closer to the end of last round, Candice came out of nowhere with an alliance pitch. I like Candice, but I have mixed feelings on this. The way she offered the alliance was really abrupt, almost as if she were just covering a base. I of 'course shared elation and accepted the deal. It's also the first official deal that I have in the game right now. It's the first week, and I didn't want to be the person that went around and offered deals and got into a whole bunch of alliances. I more so like the "unspoken deal" situation, where you talk to a person a ton each day, and it's clear you guys like one another and would have eachother's back during the early stages of the game. The people I'd say I have a deal like that with are Casey, Calum, and Greg, for sure. I'd say Joey, too, but I didn't get a chance to talk to her yesterday. However, I think she and I will resume chatting like normal when we sync up again!

Going into Head of Household, I'm conflicted. I feel like this is a competition that I can definitely win. I'm very good with visual competitions like this. The problem is .. do I want to win? It's a mixed bag here. I think everyone will want Jeff to go, because he's definitely the least active in the house, but then whoever wins has to name a pawn. My choice for a pawn would be Gary, because I don't like him. At all. However, I don't think that would be a favored decision. I'd expect people to pitch someone like Greg, who isn't on much because of his time difference, and there's no way I'd put Greg up. Ultimately, winning Head of Household could be a burden this week and not a blessing. Yeah, I'd be doing the house a favor by nominating and ridding of Jeff, but then the person that stays has valid reason to target and come after me. I don't think that's a good idea so early in the game. It's just, ugh. While some housemates I've made huge efforts with in communication, I haven't had as solid conversations with a couple others; players like Gary and Tahan, specifically. Gary, just bleh. Tahan, she doesn't come on until really late, and I'm normally gone for the night or just getting offline at that time.

For now, I think I'm just going to turn up the socializing today with the people I wouldn't feel as comfortable with winning. If I hit it off with them and the chats flow, then I'll go with throwing the competition. If the conversations are a flop, then I'll try to win it to avoid potentially going up on the block. Ugh. We'll see how it goes!

[Skye Wheatley]

I gambled by throwing the Head of Household competition. We'll see if it pays off. So far? Not sure. Tahan is actually one of the two people I was concerned with winning. Luckily, Casey made an error in not completing the challenge and got thrown up on the block beside the inevitable target, Jeff. First, Tahan is someone I don't have a fantastic relationship with. We're like two people that pass by one another in the house, give a small wave, and that's .. basically it! Lmao. Second, I'm sad that Casey's up, but I do think he's safe. Casey is one of the players [alongside Candice] that I see as a social threat to me. I think he won't have any problems staying this week. Third? Um, wow! Tahan put those nominations up pretty quickly. I was surprised. I was on the board wishing her congratulations one moment and then about an hour later I came back to see nominations up. I didn't even have a conversation with her, which makes me wonder if she had any conversations with anyone else before making her decision. I'm guessing not? I was invisible on AIM and the only other two people online were Gary and Greg, and those two have become notorious for staying signed in while not being there. I'm just assuming it was an easy decision for her based off Jeff never being around and Casey not doing the challenge though.

I'm talking to Casey now and he seems to understand why Tahan made the decision she made. Our talk of his nomination led to him basically asking me if I'd be okay with him choosing me for the Power of Veto. This kind of worries me. I mean, he can pick me, but it's definitely going to link us in everyone's minds. There is no debating that. He mentioned that, too. I told him that I wouldn't mind being selected and asked if he'd want me to throw it to give him a larger chance at winning or if he'd want me to actually try. He said he'd prefer I try. I do think that if I get picked for the Power of Veto randomly, I'll fight for it. If I get handpicked by Casey, I'm throwing. I don't want to be in a position where he'd expect me to save him and Tahan would expect me to leave nominations. I'm trying to avoid complications like that in the early stages of the game. All of that can wait until later. After that, I asked Casey if he thought Tahan would put me on the block if he won Veto and she needed a replacement. I don't know if Tahan is spiteful and would want to stick me up just because she'd figure I'm close to Casey? He seemed to think she wouldn't, as they spoke via PM after nominations. Who knows, tho'.

All in all, the plan is to cozy up to Tahan and be her BFFN [best friend for now]. I'm going to be dropping heavy hints of an Aussie alliance between she and I, and maybe she'll bite at it. I don't want to actually offer the alliance, but I want to keep highlighting the connection like I did with Boog. I'll throw in some necessary guilt tactics, such as exclaiming how glad I am she gave me my key and how "I'll return the favor when I win!" As long as I talk to her alot and am in her mind as someone who is social with her, she won't want to put me up. Her time difference, I think, hinders her availability greatly with a majority. The people who make a big effort with her should be safe at the end of her reign, right? Gosh, I'll probably get on her ever loving nerves by the end of the round. LOL!

[Skye Wheatley]

I feel a little silly being so worried about Tahan in power this round. Tahan and I do have decent enough conversations when I try and force myself to speak with her. When I say "force", it's only because I'm pushing myself to stay awake. When she usually comes around, it's about midnight my time and I'm usually half asleep. After Tahan made her initial nominations, I stuck around most of the day to talk to everyone as they came and went. Casey, like I said before, was understanding about his nomination. I could tell him being nominated lit a fire in him, too. He was telling me how he's good at competitions usually, not the best, but good, and that he would do whatever he could to try and win this Power of Veto competition. I knew he meant that. A part of me wanted him to remain on the block. I wanted him to sweat it out a little and have him be in a situation where he was vulnerable and had to put his trust in other people. When people are backed into a corner like that, magical things can happen! Which, kinda' brings me to my next bit of news. The only official~ alliance I've had so far has been with Candice, the rest being unspoken. But as of yesterday, that has finally changed.

There is now a three person alliance between Candice, Casey, and myself. It originally started when Casey and I were talking two nights ago and he was hinting at forming a group. I knew what he was doing, so I played along and took the bait. I started spilling little bits and pieces about how I liked some people, but others were slipping. I said the two people that I felt that I was connecting with the most on a day to day basis were him and Candice. Why did I say Candice? She's always online. It's really not hard to put together and map the social structure of the game if you're present enough. The same people are on most of the time and others come and go at certain hours. Casey and Candice are both extremely active with me, therefore, I find it hard to believe they wouldn't be with one another too. I was right when Casey said he felt the same way about Candice. Oddly enough, though, nothing came of that and our chat transitioned to something else. I didn't want to approach Candice about it or seem too eager with Casey about getting it started, so I let it sit and stew for the night. I didn't want to come across pushy.

The next day, Candice eventually came to me and asked if Casey had spoken to me. Candice asking if Casey spoke to me means they likely spoke about Casey approaching me. I don't know if I'm a third wheel, but even if I am, that's fine! I'll deal with it when I have to. This is a strong group and we'll do some damage, I think! I basically told her word for word what happened in Casey and my conversation, and she said that she has been enjoying Casey and I a great deal too and would be down to make a group. We decided that we'd make it official later in the evening. When it came time to make it, we made it as planned. The three of us formed a chat and it's solidified now. It feels great to be in an actual alliance, especially since I think the game is about to pick up. There's nowhere to hide anymore! Also, just because I'm in this group with Candice and Casey, I'm not going to just stick with them. I'll still be making the rounds and talking to the likes of Greg, Russell, etc. It's a shame about Calum and Joey, though. They were two people I really liked early on, but they've sort of faded. Joey hasn't been around alot [but she told me last night she was away with an emergency] and Calum gives off this nonchalant, anti-social aura when you try to talk with him these days. I don't know what's going on there, but I'll keep trying with him as usual.

Anywho, this vote is simple. Even though Tahan stuck Joey up after Casey saved himself with the Power of Veto, I'm sure everyone is going to be casting their vote to evict Jeff. I can't see why they wouldn't. It should be unanimous, but you never know if someone will throw a hinky vote to cause paranoia and distrust in the house.

[Skye Wheatley]

Head of Household was kind of annoying. I don't want to win, but even if I did, I don't think I would have been able to. The board kept signing me out! Coming into this competition, everyone knows that the game is about to goto the next level. Just about everyone left is active in some way or another. I had a talk with Casey yesterday about nominations if either of us were to win. We both agree that Gary never speaks with us. I don't know what Gary's problem is, but he literally never answers me on AIM. If he does, it isn't until hours later and he does it at a time where I'm either offline or on busy. That being said, Gary is the only person I'd have a problem with winning. I think everyone else, I've had good enough conversations with, that they'd still look over me at this stage of the game. Players like Boog and Joey aren't coming on a ton anymore and could have a high possibility to be nominated, and then you have players like Greg and Tahan who are only around at a certain hour in the evening. It'll depend on who wins the competition. I'm really hoping that Candice, Casey, or Greg win. The first two are in my official alliance and being able to rest easy for the week and let my allies get some blood on their hands is perfect for me. The only downside is that I feel like Greg might be nominated for eviction if either of them win. Casey, from what he told me, would nominate Tahan, Gary, Joey, or Greg. This is my idea of what he'd do based on things he's told me in the past. Candice, not sure. Candice is active socially, so she'd go for the players who aren't online much; I'd expect Greg and perhaps, Gary?

If neither of my allies win Head of Household, I'll have some socializing to do, but hopefully it won't be too bad. I'd be content with Russell winning, too. Boog has been reaching out to me the past two days after not talking to me for a few, so that's nice. But now that I think about it .. maybe I wouldn't be too comfortable with Calum winning either? I think Calum and I are on good terms, but I'd be weary because he and I don't talk as much as we used to. He's been slipping socially from my point of view. It's actually something I wanted to bring up to my allies, to see if it was just me. It's getting to that point in the game where I'm going to need to stop throwing competitions. I'm trying to play this as smart as possible. I don't want to actually fight for a competition victory unless I absolutely need to. Unless I hear that someone said something about me or if they actually win and nominate me, etc, I don't see a reason to win and get blood on my hands so early. However, I don't want them to be able to keep their cards close to their chest and strike when I'm not even suspecting it to happen. All of this is a gamble, but that's what makes this Big Brother! My game socially right now has been to be a social butterfly, but look naïve and not as threatening as Candice or Casey. They can control and work a conversation to get what they want. I've seen them do it with me, so I know they're doing it with others. I only hope everyone sees them as the larger threats.

Hey Candice, you're right, I am always logged in on my phone but not actually on it, if that makes sense, and we are in different time zones too, but I understand and respect your decision. *flips weave*

Yaaaas, Greg!

Totally understand, Candice. I can't imagine how annoying my AIM issues would be for someone trying to deal with me. <3

Mhm.

Actually, I'd like to make a PSA. It has come to my recent attention that I am always logged on on AIM? I've never used it before, and on my phone nonethess, and I wasn't aware that it shows me as online when I'm not actually here. If you feel like im ignoring you, please do tell me because otherwise I have no idea. I'm not ignoring anyone.

Aw, it's okay, Greggles! :3

This round was really odd. I feel like alot happened, but there wasn't much socializing going on? I don't know! Everyone was really relaxed; atleast I was. Candice winning Head of Household was so perfect. I was thrilled when she won because I knew it'd be an easy week and I knew I'd be in good hands. As soon as she won, Candice and I got to talking and my thoughts were confirmed on her nominations; she was leaning to do Gary and Greg. What surprised me though, was that Candice was acting like she wanted to make a bold move and backdoor Tahan. My first question was, why? Girl, you've just now "won" two competitions, we're heading into Jury and you want to have two people that could potentially be after you? I of 'course didn't say this. I played the role of supportive ally and said I'd be down for whatever. However, as we all know by my Diary Room .. I want Gary gone more than anyone. I think I implied how much I disliked Gary in she and my conversation, too. It didn't surprise me when Candice mentioned that Gary still hadn't spoken to her even after she won Head of Household, despite Gary being all over the board and whatnot. Gary's an odd one. Gary aside, I didn't like hearing that she wanted Greg up. But, I can't blame her! Greg sits online and isn't even there. It doesn't bother me, as I love Greg, but I'm sure he gets on everyone else's nerves when he doesn't respond, just as Gary got on mine when I used to bother messaging him.

During this time frame of Candice making nominations, one more alliance was made and another was expanded. Candice and I decided to cement a deal with Joey and bring her in with us. I think it's smart to lock Joey down, as I don't think she's a very connected player in the game. Plus, she could be a number to use later on. Candice is under the belief that Casey and Joey don't get along, so having her on the side with us could be beneficial. I felt and Candice felt, that Casey will be a strong, dangerous player in the later stages of the game [so will she, though]. He's very socially savvy and has a way with words and neither of us would be surprised if he had side deals with people. I mean, I sort of do, I'm sure Candice does, so why wouldn't he? Eventually, the strongest players are going to turn on one another and when it happens, everyone wants to be ready. Candice and I both belueve that Casey is super close with Boog, as he'd constantly praise her at the start [and still does], and to an extent, Russell. When I talk to Casey, he makes it semi-obvious in who he likes alot and who he wouldn't care to see go. From what Casey usually mentions to me, he's closely watching Calum. I wouldn't be surprised if Casey were to make a move on Calum in the near future. With the formation of the alliance between myself, Candice, and Joey came an extension in the form of myself, Candice, Casey, and Boog. We basically just tacked Boog on to the previous threesome we had before. I'm fine with this. I didn't have a strong connection with Boog, so this'll keep me in a good spot with her.

After Candice made her nominations, I couldn't help but roll my eyes at all the commentary from Gary and Greg. Boys, ~please. Nobody is buying it. Lmao. I definitely don't. I mean, I've heard from numerous people how Gary and Greg never talk. You'd think that if you're Gary and Greg .. you'd feel out of the loop if nobody spoke to you and you'd wonder why; and would therefore try and reach out? I have never once received an IM from Gary. Not once. The two times we spoke near the beginning of the game, I had to initiate, and he didn't even answer right away. Greg, I don't know. What Greg said doesn't bother me, because Greg has actually taken the initiative to contact me. I'm sorta' bias since Greg > Gary for me, but yeah. ;x Luckily, Candice ended up winning Power of Veto, too! LOL. My game, as I've said, is to work with the strong players at the moment, let them get all the blood on their hands, and have them look like the super threats. Candice is over here winning all the competitions and Casey is over there talking up everyone. Me? Skye? I'm just the little, blonde girl trying to get to know everyone! :3 With Candice leaving her nominations as they are, I'm going to be casting my vote to evict Gary. Gary almost won the competition, just as he almost has in the past. The best move for my game is for Gary to go home. It's my job to stress to my allies that Gary going is best for all of us, too. Gotta' save Greggles! So far, Candice seems to want Gary gone, and I've told Casey and Joey that it's probably best. Also, according to Candice, Gary and Greg threw out Joey's name as a backdoor opportunity. Lul.

[Skye Wheatley]

Ugh. I don't feel safe at all with Calum in power. At first, I was like, okay .. maybe this won't be too bad? I had a decent enough chat with Calum late last night before I went to bed. This afternoon, I sign on and I start talking to Russell. Russell is telling me how he spoke with Calum last night after he won and they apparently both felt that game is never being spoken in the house, etc. I of 'course played along with that notion! I said that it was odd how there wasn't much game talk, but it was likely that it was just because there was inactive people to boot before the game really began. After Russell and I finished speaking, I sat around and waited for Calum. Once Calum signed on, I wanted to wait a few minutes before messaging him so I didn't come across too eager. Once I did, we started talking about our usual non-game things, before he jumped right into a light nomination discussion. He was telling me that he had no idea what he was going to do. I offered some pretty generic advice but tried to put it across like I was genuinely keeping his best interest in mind. Calum then started to pretty much say, verbatim, what Russell had said earlier, about nobody ever talking game. Um, first of all. Calum, really? I speak for myself when I say this, but how can I talk game with someone when they don't respond to my instant messages? Lol. I mean, even when Calum does respond, the conversation drags until it falls flat. I've felt this way about him ever since the second week. He's faded with me socially and I don't know what the problem is. And just like that, on cue, he simply stops responding to me.

Hours pass, I'm still online. Calum is still online. Candice comes on. I wait a bit to message Candice but once I do, she starts telling me things. Apparently she and Calum are having some in-depth game talk? That heightens my paranoia. Here he is talking to Candice and he totally just dropped our chat hours ago and never bothered responding to the things I said. Candice told me that she thinks we'll be fine because apparently he's leaning to do Boog and Tahan nominations? That's fine with me. I started to tell Candice on how my conversation with Calum went and she then tells me that Calum apparently "feels unsure" about me because I'm "talkative and likable but someone he doesn't talk game with". Yikes! This doesn't sound good at all. At this point, I'm basically kicking myself. I felt so bad thinking about even nominating Calum last night in the then~ terrible thought of winning Head of Household, and here he is not responding to our chat but telling someone else he feels unsure about me. Candice tried to not worry me, which was nice of her. She told me that he said there are other people he's way less sure about and that he doesn't want me gone, but sees this as an opportunity to try and figure me out? Um. My head feels like a jumbled mess at the moment. First, I didn't even know Calum and Candice were close like this for him to just be telling her all of this? Second, Calum is an annoying Head of Household! I just gotta' survive this week ..

All I know is, the randomizer needs to start selecting me, ugh. I have yet to play in any of the three Power of Veto competitions, and this week, even if I'm not nominated iniaitally, I want it .. and I want it bad! I'm done throwing. It's game on. I'm not going to sit back and feel this way anymore. If I stay this week and I win Head of Household next round, believe me, there won't be a second thought in me nominating Calum for eviction. If he's going to use this week to suss me out and see where I'm at, I'll be doing the same, because who I'd nominate him against will be someone I perceive as a close ally of his. But, until then? Bubbly Skye, who wouldn't hurt a fly ..

I got selected for the Power of Veto .. and won! Yay! I really, really wanted to win this competition because this means I'm safe no matter what. I don't have to count on Calum to keep me safe. He's super sketchy and I don't know if I could endure another day of being nervous with him in power. The competition was actually pretty close. I only edged Tahan out by a handful of seconds. I'm glad I won especially, because if she had won, that would have meant Calum needed to make a replacement. After what Candice was telling me, about how Calum felt about me, I'm thankful for those 20 or so seconds that gave me the win. After I won, I spoke to Casey. I honestly don't want to use the Veto, because then he, Candice, or even Greg could be vulnerable. I didn't mention the Greg part, but I mentioned worrying about him and Candice. He said it'd probably be best I didn't use the Power of Veto that way I earn some points with Calum. That got me to wondering, did Calum say something about me to Casey too? It's starting to bug me because I've genuinely tried with Calum and he never seems to fully reciprocate when I do.

Today, I got to talking with Greg. Greg and I don't talk as much, but when we do, it's like fireworks. We get along so well. I really do adore him. I told Greg that it sucks that both of the Aussie girls are up, but I wouldn't want to use it to risk him going up. Greg was initially worried because his key was pulled last, but I doubt Calum did that because he's targeting him? I played along with my own motive in mind. I don't want Greg to want me to use Veto. As Greg and I spoke, Tahan messaged me. It's clear to me that these two are close, which is fine! He probably told her to talk to me, or that we were talking. There's no problem with that. They both are in the same timezone, so they naturally talk more with one another. I told Tahan that I wanted to talk to Calum and see where his head was at, that I hated she and Boog were up, and that I was nervous that if I used it, someone else I like, ie: Greg, would go up. She understood. I told her that it felt like Calum was trying to make a move in nominating two previous Head of Household winners. Now, this is where it gets interesting. Tahan told me that Calum said he'd be "very fine" with her staying, and that at some point, he mentioned to her that he wanted to make a "big move" this week. Big move? Hm. If the "big move" was nominating two previous competition winners, okay, but .. why would he tell Tahan that? That piece doesn't sit well with me.

I feel like there was a good chance I could have been backdoored. If Calum wanted to make a "big move" and was telling players like Candice, and perhaps even Casey, that he was unsure about me, then it could have been me on that block if I didn't win the Power of Veto this week. I want to talk to Casey and Candice about it, especially Candice. I want to see if he mentioned this "big plan" to her, as he seemed to be telling her alot before nominations. In other news, Greg tried to pitch an alliance between he, Tahan, and I. He wants to keep Tahan. It's really sad because I would have been game for it if this were a different situation. I told Greg it probably wouldn't be smart to jump the gun on that if Tahan were to be evicted this week, when we weren't sure where votes are going. We both settled that we had eachother's back 100% and left it at that. Ultimately, I can't keep Tahan, because looking at the two alliances, the one with Boog, Casey, and Candice is more beneficial for me, and if Tahan goes, I'll have Greg to myself. That sounds selfish and really awful, but it's true, and I have to play with my game's future in mind.
