Round 2 - Drunken Mishaps

[Dominic Briones]

I will update more later... but this is what I WANTED to post for PoV. Better judgement told me not to... *shrug*


Pyramid Head told me to make the thread, so here I am. Sorry if I wasn't supposed to, but I didn't see anybody else posting a thread for me, so I figured this was all good. 

Anyways, welcome to the 2nd PoV ceremony. Unlike last week, where 2 nominees won the PoV, things may not be as obvious this week. However, before I give my spiel, allow me to post the overused gif that I've claimed as my own when I win a PoV as Dominic (since, apparently PoVs are my strong suit in RaF, while HoH is a little harder to come by for me). 



Now that that's outta the way, I'd like to address the house. First up, I'm sick of the rumors. I can't keep track if I'm aligning with the winners or targeting the winners, because, quite frankly, I've heard both notions. To the people starting and/or spreading information about me, fuck off. I came into this house, like many of you, with previous bonds formed, but only a basic player would let the totality of those bonds dictate their entire strategy. If you want to go ahead and make any assumptions or accusations, come at me. I've recently learned not to really give a fuck in these games. I'm here to play, have fun, and meet new people, and along the way, do my best to defend my title. Yes, I want to win, and I do my best to win, but I'm over the petty games that some people tend to bring. In the end, I get it. Some of you have only one strategy: paint bigger targets on the threats so that you can slide by. But now I'm rambling...


Keith... Roddy... I have the power to potentially save one of you with this Power of Veto. I have discussed this with both of you, and I've also talked with Dixie just to get a gauge on the situation. In the end, I've decided to...

Nobody.

If any of you would like to talk about anything I've said, please feel free to touch base with me on AIM. I'll be here most of the night. I can't really say I'm pointing out anybody in particular, but I'm just generally frustrated with the petty things that I've heard about me. And maybe it's not really a big deal, but I wanted to set the precedent straight: 1) If you have something to address with me, I'm more than happy to have an adult conversation to hash things out, and 2) if you're going to spread lies/paranoia/rumors (which are all legit aspects of playing the Big Brother game), at least make them more strategic than random target painting on people who've already established themselves as threats. I'm not stupid enough to think that people are just going to leave me alone. Some of us can hide in this cast of 20 better than others. But after week 1 (where the nominees were obviously the people who were being targeted by the general consensus of the cast), after 2 PoV wins, and after having earned the title of RaF winner, I know I'm a target. Maybe y'all should be looking for that dark horse who's hiding among you - the person who's likely going to emerge and take the All Stars crown. Just my two cents.

Omy. Quiet a speech.

So, let me make a few quick updates for round 2...

I meant to "throw" the challenge to Roddy once I knew we were the ones in the tie. I didn't want to have to make a decision, so I paused for a few seconds before submitting the tie-breaker. I still wanted to make it look like I tried to beat him, but his drunken ass was too slow.

So, then I had to risk making our duo seem THAT much more obvious, while also probably pissing off Dixie and others. As well, I figured Andrew (another potential ally of mine) would go up anyways, and in that case, they might just push for Andrew to leave over Kevin, asserting that Roddy, Andrew, and I were a potential trio.

So, I talked to Roddy and Dixie, and decided that I didn't want to make any waves. I'm already a target as it is. Don't need to make it bigger.

That said, Roddy's plan was to lay low and NOT campaign, so I joined him in that effort. I didn't talk to a single person about who I was voting, and it seemed to work. So... with Kevin leaving, I can't be too upset. Kevin did come to me and offer me a deal, but I felt it was a desperation attempt, and with the whole house after him (seemingly), why would I want to make a deal with someone that's just going to be a liability?

Anyways, I'm happy with the way round 2 ended.

Oh, I also made sure to stress with Estelle that 1)I DIDN'T want to use the veto to save Roddy, and 2) that I WANTED to potentially work with Dixie. First up, I wanted to see if Estelle would take that info to Roddy, and 2nd, I wanted her to take the info to Dixie and make Dixie less likely to come after me.
