Week 7 [HoH Week] - Bitches Won't Know How to Act

[Dominic Briones]

Who wants to see my HoH room?




I knew going into the competition that I had a really good chance of winning. I took screencaps of the boards a few weeks ago, knowing that this might come in handy. Annnd.... it did! What's even better is that I dominated the challenge, and Lori was the closest with like half of my points. I also deleted 2 changes that I didn't think were right, and they were, so I'm glad that it wasn't a close one, bc I would have kicked myself for deleting them.

Now comes the hard part. Well, not really. There are at least 3 people that I would love to see leave this week, Carol and Scott being the main 2 with Cassi as a potential 3rd. So, even if PoV is used, I SHOULD be able to get out one of my targets.

At this point, I think that Braden realizes he needs me, so I don't see him turning on me till maybe final 4 or 3. Lori and I have connected well, however, I am still leery to trust her. If I get out one of her allies though, she might realize that she needs me too.

I am willing to strike a deal with anybody this week if I can walk away feeling at least 90% sure that they will not nominate me or vote for me next week. Because, let's face it, Braden seems to be the only one I can rely on for the most part, and even he might backstab me for a deal to take himself farther since he's a target too.

Carol leaving would be good since she's obviously after me, and she's close with Braden. So taking her out would make Braden hopefully closer to me.

Scott would likely nominated me as well, and if I take him out, I might be able to convince Lori/Cassi to make a final 4 with me and Braden to take out Carol next week.

Taking out Cassi would hopefully make Lori need me more, and that could help me in the end too since Lori and I agreed that we are on opposite sides and not to take it personally if we target each other's alliance.

I don't really see any benefit in going after Lori or Braden. They are the 2 that I feel safest with, even if I don't trust them completely.

What does suck is that I will continue to be a big target. Not only have I failed to really connect with people, but this is the 4th week in a row that I have been safe. Co-HoH, PoV, PoV, HoH. Though, I needed every single one of those weeks of safety since in week 4 Carol was clearly going to nominate me and Dick. Week 5 and 6 I was nominated. And had I lost this week, I am sure I would have been nomianted for a 3rd week in a row. So, there really was no option of throwing comps, not that I like to do that anyways.

We'll see what deals people come at me with. I am interested to see who is willing to kiss my ass. Pucker up, Bitches! Dom is here for another week, and I be swining my HoH key all around the house.

So the more I think about it, the more I realize that I am kinda fucked. The only real chance I have to win this game is to probably win comps to the end. Cassi is the one who needs to go this week just because she has the most connections. She has Lori, Scott, and Carol. However, getting her voted out will almost be impossible because I can only put her against one of her allies, which means she'll have 2 votes to stay from the other 2. UNLESS I put her up against Lori, bc then Scott would have to choose between the 2. Carol would vote out Lori, but Scott MIGHT vote out Cassi, and I think I could get Braden to vote out Cassi as well.

If Cassi doesn't go home, then Scott is probably my next best bet with Carol being my 3rd best option.

Even if Braden wins HoH next week, if the 3rd person he doesn't nominate wins PoV and saves one of his nominees, I am the only auto-nominee choice. So, to ensure my safety I basically need veto. And that would take me to the final 4, which, as well all know, Veto is most important that round to ensure who goes home, though HoH will suffice. Then there is final 3, which I would probably need another win to ensure I go to final 2. So yeah, I am not very optimistic at this point. But... I'll still be fighting my ass off to get as far as I can. I just don't see any way to convince people to keep me at this point bc I know I'm a threat to win and so do they. Already, I have 3 potential votes from the jury since Keith, Dick and Adria were all either my allies or friends. Not to mention, I could get Braden's vote if he's not in the final 2 with me, and might be able to swing Lori's depending on who I am against. So I can definitely win this thing, but it's not gonna be easy.

So a lot transpired since my last DR.

Scott came to me at the VERY last minute and made a deal that saved his ass. I literally had the nominations typed in [Scott and Carol], but Scott's deal felt a little more sincere than Cassi's deal to keep me safe next week, so I took a gamble. We'll see how it pans out.

To make things even better, I actually got out my number 1 target this week, and I didn't even have to campaign for her to leave! I am almost 100% sure that Lori was the one vote to save Cassi, which is fine. I expected that. However, I do think that Carol will come after me harder than Cassi would have at this point, so I might be in trouble.

Either way, I am fighting my ASS off for PoV next week no matter who is HoH. Ideally I'd like to see Braden, Scott, or even Lori win HoH. However, if Lori wins, I think I would still go up. Who knows. Final 5, here I come. And hopefully I can keep up my streak of winning 1 comp a week to ensure final 4.

P.S. Cassi, I TRULY had no ill-will against you. I knew you were with Scott/Lori and probably Carol too. Lucky for me, Scott turned on you I think, but I did view you as a legit threat to win this whole thing, which is why I went after you. And I know that you promised me safety when we chatted in PM, but I didn't get to really TALK to you about the deal, so I was feeling uncomfortable about sticking with you and Lori. Plus, I think I just broke up the strongest f2 alliance in the house by sending you home, and thus hopefully ensuring that Lori needs me to stick around more as her ally now that you are gone.
