Yeah, I know my social game has been a giant pile of shit. I really don't like a lot of this cast. I mean, I do, but I don't. There are so many deals flying around, and I know that's expected in an All Stars game. But it's just so annoying to try to keep track of. The social game you guys saw me play in season 2 was NOT normal for me. I always hate the social game. I said it in season 2, but I normally rely on comp wins, and lo and behold, I'm proving that this time around.
So apparently "half the house" wanted me out, but I also heard GM wanted me out as well, which is why I landed on the block. There was no way I was gonna win the endurance, so I'm not even that pissed that I missed the deadline. I did feel badly for Helen though, since her association with me as a partner put her in danger. I did feel like we had a really good chance to win the PoV though, since both of us had 2 of the better times in the other posting challenge.
Little did I know it'd come down to 1 fucking second. Wow. That was too close. Both Helen and I made a few errors, which would have cost us safety had it been just 2 more seconds of errors. We ended up calling each other on speaker phone to help out, and that saved us for sure. <3 Helen
So now the bitches can't take me out this week. Sucks for them. But anyways, as soon as the nominations were finalized, I get 2 PMs and a text message asking me for votes. The only person who didn't ask me for a vote is Ed, which is fine, because I was gonna evict him anyways. So Shane is safe in my books.
As for Andrew and Talla, both sent PMs. Naturally, I'm more aligned with Andrew, but Talla gave me a lot of good information. Whether it's true or not, I'm not sure. But I took some of the information and sent Andrew some questions. Here's what Talla sent...
Soooo... If Andrew is working with GM/Estelle (which, are supposedly IRL friends), then he should have some sway to get that target off me. I want Andrew to stay, but I also wanna go after GM/Rhian/Estelle bc I think that they are all tight. And Frank is in there as well, which confirms my original thought that there's a chance a winners' alliance has been created (sans me, lol).
Keeping Talla means keeping someone to help me go after that duo. Also, I want to continue working with Helen, which means working with that side seems more plausible. I am worried Dixie is playing all sides though, and ironically, if David is on the fence, I can see James being on the fence as well. If sides split out, I want to make sure I'm firmly established on one side, and not seen as a floater/threat.
So much to consider. I wanna keep Andrew, but I've got a LOT of talking to do with people. Hopefully this eviction will let me slip back into some sort of shadow, or I can continue to be a visible threat and an HoH win next week would be nice.
Still looking for my first RAF HoH win.

Dominic,
Please evict Andrew?!
So... I think this vote is going to draw a line in the sand.
It seems like Gina Marie, Stella, Frank, Ryan, and Andrew are a clear side and they are wanting me out, and I think their wanting Ed out as well. And there's some resistance.
I have Ed, Sam, Dixie, James, Helen, hopefully you,
David said he's going with majority, Rhian said she's going with majority, Kristen wants to keep me which means I think I have Shane. If I have Shane, then I have the votes. And even if I have you... Kristen breaks my tie, which should be enough to stay! <3
Keep me, and Gina Marie and Estelle are my targets! <3 Thanks!
