Mr. Miyagi’s Advice
Yesterday I had a crazy dream where I got advice from a wise Asian man to start initiating conversations with the other houseguests. It was an eye opening experience, and when I finally woke up from my nap I set out a goal to become more active and talk to as many houseguests as I could. I spoke with Braden, Dick, Dustin, Jameka, Adria, and Cassi. My conversations with the latter 3 were just your standard “Hey, how are you enjoying the game…blah blah blah….”, but with the others they were every informative. It turns out I missed a lot of things by being in the background…who’d have guessed?
From talking with Braden, it turned out Dustin had been trying to get everyone against Braden. The conversation went a little like this:
*After exchanging hellos*
Braden Bacha oh haha its fine dude
straight up first of all I want to apologize for the first HoH challenge
i played way to hard from the beginning
but whatever Dustin has said about me is a lie
i wasn't giving deals to everyone. I was offering a 1 week free pass to 7-8 people
Braden Bacha and Dustin has tried to turn the whole house against me
so i just wanted to get that out of the way
lol Whats up man?
Keith Henderson Lol, like I said I just got aim set up right so Dustin hasn't spoke to me about anything, but I appreciate you setting the record straight. Lol, apprently a lot of talks have been going on in aim, huh?
Braden Bacha yea
dustin tried to get me out hard
Keith Henderson Oh, wow. I'm new to all this on the boards, so I'm still trying to figure out how things work. Has he been saying stuff about you to everyone?
Braden Bacha yea
*Conversation went off topic and we began talking about playing reality tv shows, but then I brought things back*
Keith Henderson Oh, lol. Hey, it says Dustin's now nominated for eviction.
Braden Bacha mhm
his lie got exposed
Keith Henderson Wow, guess so
Braden Bacha yea
well i jsut want to let you know
Braden Bacha your safe dude
So even after talking with Braden, I’m not sure if I can still trust him in this game. Of course he would say I’m safe for now, because he has bigger fish to fry. It’s not like we established any sort of alliance or “Hey I got your back” dialogue when we spoke, so I’m definitely going to keep talking with him to gauge my standing with him.
Next up was Dick, and man did things go down in our conversation:
*After exchanging formalities*
Dick Donato aww okay
sorry about the nomination
hope you can understand
Keith Henderson Don't worry about it. I understand. I'm new to this whole experience with the boards, so I'm learning as it goes. I appreciated you telling me what I needed to work on, and now that my aim is finally set right I'm going to be seen more online and on the boards.
Dick Donato yeah I think you'll be great
and a lot has happened since I made my initial nominations
dustin/jameka have been stirring the pot
and have caused a lot of craziness
there's the possibility I could use the veto
Keith Henderson Oh ok, apprently I've missed a lot not being on aim. What's been going on with Dustin and Jameka?
Dick Donato well they've been secretly trying to turn everyone against braden
and they've been trying to get me to backdoor him
that's why they convinced scott to save sheryl
but we caught them in a lie
they kept saying "everyone" wants braden out
and I made a group chat
and I said.. call them out
and everyone saw that they were just stirring up trouble
Dick Donato lol sorry
it's a lot
Keith Henderson It's all good. Wow, I see. What do they have against Braden, he seems pretty cool?
Dick Donato yeah exactly... I think they just singled him out for the sake of getting someone with some chenbucks
and I was like... that's messed up.
so basically everyone has turned on both of them.
so I've got a veto... which I could use on you
but I'd have to know that I'd get something in return..
Keith Henderson What are you looking for?
Dick Donato idk I'd just want to feel safe with you
Keith Henderson Oh, ok. Sure man, I mean I just got aim set up finally so I haven't had the chance to talk to anyone really concerning the game or know who to look out for or align with, so you're safe in my book. I have nothing against you or to go after you since we've now talked and everything.
Dick Donato okay that's awesome
and I think it'll be really cool if we kept each other safe for a little while
I get that you're still feeling things out, but I'm happy you're on and msged me
Dick Donato maybe you can repay the favor in the future... but I'm using the veto on you
h
Keith Henderson Most definitely man. I would owe you a big one, so I'm definitely keeping you safe if I'm still in the game.
Dick Donato awesome!
h
yay
I think you deserve a shot
Keith Henderson Thanks
Dick Donato cool dude.. just posted it in my thread. one of the hosts will make it official soon
im guna head off for a few. I'll be on in a couple of hrs. guna watch some tv lol
So yea, I feel like I just made a deal with the Devil. I don’t trust Dick at all. But honestly, he has a good chunk of chenbucks, and that means power in my book. He could buy his way out of most situations, so I’m sticking by him until I get more chenbucks or he loses his.
Dustin had A LOT to say during our conversation:
*After...you get the point by now, lol*
Dustin Erikstrup I don't think I have the votes to stay, and I think I'm Dick's target.
Keith Henderson Oh, well what happened, if you don't mind me asking?
Dustin Erikstrup Me, Dick, and Jameka and Carol (shes been really inactive so whatevs) formed an alliance before the game began. We got others to give Dick money, so he could be HoH. When we found out Braden was begging everyone for money, we thought he was shady and couldn't be trusted, so we asked Dick to nominate him. Well, Dick formed another alliance with Braden that was apparently better than an Alliance of 4. So he nominated you and sheryl. He told us that if Scott used the veto, Braden would go up. So, scott used it, However, him and Jameka had a fight so she went up. And when I talked to him about it, he was mad at me so when she got off, I got on. Thats when he vetoed you himself, and put us up next to each other. I think he's a dumbass for ruining an alliance of 4 Week One, but thats what happened, and thats why we're here.
Keith Henderson Wow, that's a lot to take in
Dustin Erikstrup Tell me about it
I don't want to go, but I dont want Jameka to go either
Keith Henderson Yea, I see. Apprently I've missed a lot. So how many alliances are there? Do you know?
Dustin Erikstrup Well, mine is broken up, so no worries. There's Dick,Braden,Adria,and Lori(maybe).
Dick and Braden 100% sure, Adria (80% sure),Lori (50% sure)
Keith Henderson Wow, how do you know about Adria and Lori?
Dustin Erikstrup Subtle things Dick have said to me
They also had their keys fairly early
He talked about them a lot
And I know Adria gave her money to Braden
Keith Henderson Oh
Dustin Erikstrup Yeah
Dick becomes a villain, but Jameka and I become the bad targets
Keith Henderson Do you know what Jameka and Dick fought about? Sorry if I'm asking too many questions, I'm just trying to understand everything that's going on.
Dustin Erikstrup Jameka was upset Dick did not nominate Braden
And she apparently said "I gave you your HoH, so you need to do what I say"
Idk if I believe that or not
Im sure Dick exaggerated
Keith Henderson Whoa, I see. Have you had a chance to talk to Jameka to find out?
Dustin Erikstrup I did, but I never asked her about it because at the time only I was on block, and we were talking about votes to stay. She logged off literally 2 minutes before she was put back up alongside me
Keith Henderson Dang
Dustin Erikstrup i gtg
good night
Keith Henderson Alright man, thanks for talking with me
Dustin Erikstrup Thanks for finally showing up!
So Dustin revealed a few things to me, but for the most part it was things I already guessed by talking with Braden and Dick. He mentioned the alliances he knew of, but I definitely got the feeling he was holding back of some of the information. Dustin didn’t play his cards right and should have handled the game better to prevent where he’s at right now, so I have a lot to think about when it comes to my vote today.
