Week 4 - Co-HoH Week

[Dominic Briones]

Fwaaaaa! So much to write. But I will be brief.

1. I sucked in HoH. No surprise there.

2. Carol wins, and having selected Dick and I first on her bootlist for the challenge, this week seemed like the BEST week to use my Dual PoV to avoid nomination. Presto, I'm Co-HoH, especially since the vetoes now have activation times. Couldn't have worked out better!

3. Lux comp leads to some crazy shiz, including a "pause" to the veto twist. I am glad with my outcome. Having a distorted avatar doesn't bother me.

4. I try to get Carol to give some information, and that proved as easy as prying a steel pole out of concrete. She was so guarded, which makes me think that she DOES have deals (with Lori and Cassi) that she was trying to protect.

5. I pretended to not care what happened, but in all honesty would love to see Cassi, Lori, or Braden go home this week.

6. Final noms end up being Dick and Keith, which is meh, but there is always PoV.

7. I decided that being more guarded with my cards would benefit me in the long run, so I kind of let Carol pick the noms, despite wishing I could have gotten more info out of her.

8. Plan is to try to ensure Dick's safety, while flushing out any power Keith might have got.

That pretty much sums up things for now. Had I not been camping until tonight, I might have tried making more deals on AIM, but all my communication had to be done via PMs, and getting Carol to talk was not an easy task. *sigh*

I'm not 100% thrilled with how this week is going so far, but at least I'm safe. For now.

-Deuces,

The more I think about it, the more sure I am that Carol is aligned with Cassi/Lori. Which, is fine. I will play dumb and pretend that I haven't caught on. And then I just hope and pray that next week I can win HoH and put up Lori/Cassi myself. Overall, I think I did a better job than Carol at hiding my cards. People probably already assume I'm with Adria bc of the Dual PoV, so by nominating Dick (my f2 partner), I've hopefully made a gamble that will keep our alliance hidden and not seem like the stupidest move ever down the road.

Still not shutting out the option of putting up Cassi as a replacement though. Carol hasn't really seen me be demanding/forceful, which I'm not afraid to do (I think I'd have the votes to stay against her.) At this point, having confirmed my suspicious of that girl alliance, I am no longer viewing a Braden exit as beneficial as I once did. I think Braden is a great ally, but dangerous, yet I feel he's less dangerous than keeping a 3-person alliance in the house. If there are going to be large alliances, I want to be in them. Just saying.

*fingers crossed that I'm playing this all out right and that nothing ridiculous ruins the plans*

I think I've tamed Dick. His response to his nomination is soooo not his style (aka James from Starz). I think he's actually heeding my advice to calm it down, which will make him a harder person to beat in the final 2. Hmmm....

[Dominic Briones]

Adria = Eve from Starz. Interesting. Well, at least I like her.

This does change my plans slightly. I know that Adria is a really good player, and I did think before that she might be aligned with Cassi. However, I just had a very long covo with Adria about how I would push hard for Cassi to go up if PoV is used. If I could get Cassi up, this would truly be the test to see if she is aligned with her or not. And, if she is, then I am probably screwed bc that means there is a likely alliance of Carol/Adria/Lori/Cassi, and they'd be after me.

I viewed Scott and Keith as uber floaters, but I might need them if Adria turns on me. I want to trust her, but I know that she's playing to win, and that she's not going to just shit around the whole time. Idk if she views me as a threat or not. I haven't really brought my A-game to this particular game. So, who knows.

All that I do know is that I DESPERATELY want HoH next week. I think I say this every week, but it's bound to happen sooner or later, right? Let's just hope it doesn't happen too late.

I do know that Adria is safe next week, but also sitting out of HoH. That means that (pending the outcome of the potential comeback twist), there will be either 6-7 people competing in HoH. Not too shabby. If I do win, odds are that I will go strong for Cassi/Lori if I can't get Cassi out this week. We'll see though. One moment at a time...

Deuces, Dom.

[Dominic Briones]

I am actually happy that Scott won the PoV. I hope he uses it to save Dick. Then I push for Cassi to go up and go home. Bye, hon.

^ Totally arrogant.

My reasoning: Cassi was complaining to Adria that she might go up because of me. That means that, most likely, Carol told Cassi that I suggested she go up, when, in all honesty, I suggested Scott, Keith, Dick, Braden, Lori, AND Cassi. The only person I said I wanted safe was Adria bc she gave me the dual PoV. So idc what Carol told Cassi really. The point is that these bitches be close, and I don't want that 3some (Carol/Lori/Cassi) running the house.

[Dominic Briones]

Ok, I've decided that this is the week I take over the house.

Mark my words that either Cassi, Lori, or Carol will leave this week if I have anything to do about it.

Wouldn't that be awesome if I sent the HoH home on their HoH week? I mean, that would require me going on the block too, and risking going home. But damn, that would be sweeeet!

What sucks is that this week could be a comeback week according to the twist. I kinda hate to go balls-to-the-wall on a comeback week, but why not. Who knows when I might have the power again. I really want HoH next week, but this game has proved that my challenge skills ain't what they used to be!

[Dominic Briones]

Well fuck.

Scott didn't use the veto, so there goes my plan to get out one of the 3 girls. I'm hoping that he was just being a pansy and not wanting to start drama. Because if someone got in his ear to NOT use the veto, then that's bad news for me. Ugh.

Well, this is just another reason to win HoH next week. Also, I kinda hope whoever is evicted does get to come back, especially if we're choosing between the current evictee and any combination of the evicted houseguests. Obviously I don't want Dick to leave and I'd want him to come back if he did, but I'd rather someone like Keith come back over any of the previously evicted.

FUCK. FUCK. FUCK.
Scott, you're an idiot.

[Dominic Briones]

It should be either a 3-2 or 5-0 vote in favor of Dick, unless people actually plan something. But I assume Braden, Adria, and Scott will vote for Keith to leave. And Lori/Cassi will likely vote Dick to leave, but they might not. IDK.
