Week Nine

[Talla Rejaei]

-- Week Nine --

Oh. My. Gosh.

It's week nine -- And I'm still here! Who would have thought?  I know I didn't have much confidence in myself to last this long.  I never give up though, and I'm more determined than ever to keep on fighting and keep on playing as hard as I know how.  I taste the jury, I need the jury! 

I miss Helen, Andrew, and James so much.  I trusted them all so much, and they are all gone.  *Tears Up*

Talla Talks (about the cast)


~Dixie~
Dark little Dixie -- What to do with her? I adore Dixie in this game because she's good at competitions and she has been keeping me safe.  I need this little devil to stay around a little longer.  However, if she found herself nominated against someone other than Estelle, I'd probably evict her.  She's a snake.  She is playing both sides, and it's so transparent.  She's making deals with everyone and I think her "cards" are slowly being revealed to everyone.  I know that Kristen and I were both less than pleased with Dixie this round.  During the "in/out of line" event that took place... It was my turn, and I wanted to place Shane into the line.  I was planning on doing that, but then my computer was having some major issues.  When I turned my computer back on, it auto-logged me onto AIM and then Dixie said: "PLEASE PICK RHIAN!".  I calmly stated that I wanted to choose Shane.  Dixie then exclaimed: "PICK RHIAN, I FEEL BAD, PLEASE PICK RHIAN, MAYBE SHE'LL CHOOSE SHANE!".  I knew this was so fake, there was no way that Rhian was going to save Shane over Estelle.  I felt obligated to pick Rhian because I have to continue playing the "follower" card because there's still a long game to be played and this competition is definitely a marathon, not a sprint.  So I hesitantly chose Rhian instead of Shane due to Dixie's wishes. 

Now why would someone nominate Glen Coco, but then save Rhian and Estelle.  It doesn't make sense to me -- And the only explanation is that Dixie is trying to appease everyone.  She can come to Kristen, Sam, and I and say I nominated Glen Coco! And then go to Estelle, Gina Marie, and Rhian and say: "I made a mistake for nominating Glen Coco, someone told me she wanted to weaken me... I'm so sorry Glen Coco!" And,: "Rhian, I made Talla choose you... She wanted to choose Shane, but I convinced her to choose you, please love me!" And,: "Estelle, I made Talla choose Rhian because I knew Rhian would choose you.  Please love me!"

*Pukes*


To all of you fake ass bitches out there, remember Karma.  <3 



~Dominic~
I have a love/hate relationship with Dominic.  I like him as a person outside of this game... Even though, he's not a fan of me and never has been.  
We have not spoken at all, except for about a few personal life stuff since he voted to evict me when I was nominated against Andrew.  However, I decided to extend a "peace offering" of sorts and I sent him a PM that stated the following:
Hi Dominic,

It's been a while -- Too long really. I've been wanting to send you a PM for a while now, but I've been nominated and I didn't want this to come across as desperate or insincere. The following words are as authentic and sincere as I possibly can be, and I really hope that you think about my "proposal".

It's no surprise that I'm not in anyones "inner circle" in this game. I don't have any strong allies still in the game, and I definitely have my fair share of haters. I feel like you are in a similar position -- From what I've been hearing. People think that you are disposable, and a vote they know they can count on, but don't want to bring you too far in the game due to your challenge skills. This is what I've heard from a few people, not a theory of mine.

So anyways; I know you have your issues with me -- And I've shared some unkind opinions about you to some of our fellow competitors. But, I think that we could really work well together and be some of the most lethal people if we teamed up. I really do believe this, and I've always believed it. It is especially good because we are working from the outside in -- And we have very different friends in this game so we could help protect each other. No one would suspect us of working together, and I think it'd be great.

You can still target "my side" and I will still target "your side" -- But we just agree to not target each other and try to help each other remain safe. There are much bigger threats than me in this game, and as you are logical and competitive, I'm hoping that this deal of sorts inspires you to want to work with me.


I meant everything I said in the letter, and I hope things work out -- Honestly I do.  I really think we could be quite the duo, and I hope he gets over himself.  



~Estelle~
Nope! Not a fan.  I've tried talking to her, and she really is so fake.  She has apologized for exaggerating stories about me and has apologized for trying to tarnish my reputation, however her actions do not show that she is sincerely apologetic.  She's fake, she doesn't like me... And that is that. 



~Frank~
He's a nice guy, and I genuinely enjoy the conversations that we have.  My issue with Frank is that he's mysterious.  And mysterious in a bad way... I always feel like he doesn't have my best interest in mind, and quite the opposite actually.  His saving grace is that he's logical -- And what logical player is going to target me, I have not done anything major in this game yet and I'm not a threat.  I don't think he'd target me in the next two weeks, but after that... I'd be scared if he won HoH.  


~Glen Coco~
Not a fan!  I'm so pleased with the fact that she is nominated this week.  I hope that Frank kicks ass in the Veto competition, and that Shane lives up to his perfect pawn status.  Gina Marie is intelligent, great at challenges, and not a member of "Team Talla" -- She's gotta go.  I try to talk to her, and I realize I'm the only one initiating conversations, and she is so politically correct with me; it's disgusting.  She always has her walls up around me, and it's obvious.  



~Kristen~
I love her.  I think I trust her the most in the game at this point, which is hilarious if you think back to week two.  During week two, I hated her!  I was so upset with her lack of passion and conviction to what she believed in.  She was good friends with Kevin, and was telling me that she was evicting him -- I was like NOOO BITCH, I'M EVICTING YOU!  Haha, and now we're besties!  *Kiss Kiss*  Love you Kristen.  



~Rhian~
This girl is the definition of fake! She tells me: "Talla, you're one of the people who I love and trust the most in this game! Omg, let's be best friends!"  And then the next week, she is "nominating" me during the Arena Week.  Fuck you!  

I saved her this week, not because I like her... But because I think it's too early to make a big move... And because one of the only things going for me right now is the fact that people see me as a follower, and not a threat.  This strategy will hopefully get me a few more rounds until I have the perfect "check mate" plan figured out.  But anyways; I saved her this week... And she's like love you! I was honest with her in the sense that I told her I was contemplating on saving Shane.  I told her that I wanted to save Shane and wanted him to save her, but he wouldn't sign up for that because he wanted to save Frank (this is all a lie), so then I had to play it safe and just choose Rhian because I couldn't risk Shane not picking her.  I did this to show my "honesty" (LMAO) because I admitted to almost not choosing her, which is raw, and I did it because I wanted to drive a wedge between Shane/Rhian in the event that he survives this week.  Hehehehe.



~Ryan~
I love me some Ryan lately.  He's being social, he's being nice, and he didn't "nominate" me during the Arena Week.  *Hugs*  In all honesty, I'm starting to get to know Ryan a little better... And he's alright! I used to "hate" him in Season Three, because I always have to choose a target -- And I chose him due to the lack of communication, nothing personal.  But, now that we are talking -- I don't mind him at all.  I'd love to work together with him more formally because I feel like we are both outcasts in a way, and I think we could do some damage.  

Ryan is trying to work something out where he makes a deal with Kristen, Sam, and I.  I want to trust him... But I worry that he's just trying to play the whole house.  I know he's close with Estelle and crew, so then if he's close with us too... He'd be good with everyone but Dixie.  Hmm... Lots to think about with him.  



~Sam~
I really like Sam.  I've said this before -- And I'll say it again, I really think that we'd be good friends in real life.  He's just a really down-to-earth person who knows how to be entertaining and carry a conversation.  I trust him, he's fun, he seems loyal -- I just really like him and I want him to stay around! <3



~Shane~
Shane is the nicest kid ever.  I don't know him very well, and we don't talk much... But I really like his personality.  I wish we had more opportunities to talk and get to know each other because I like the little that I know about him.  

[Talla Rejaei]

This week was intense.

I really tried to step my game up a bit, and start socializing with people who I typically don't talk with.  

-- Shane --

Shane and I have been improving our relationship lately.  I've been making a very calculated effort to talk to him more, and to get to know about him on a more personal level.  He's not good at challenges, and I don't have to worry about him for that reason -- However, I can always use more votes and I need him around in case I get in a tricky situation.  I'll continue working on him!

-- Ryan --

We've been talking a lot more lately.  I tried to talk to him, and let him know that people have been telling me all of the shit that he says about me (which is true).  And I told him that he shouldn't be talking crap about me, he should be working with me... Because we're both outsiders and we could benefit from working together.  

After I had this talk with him... He came to me and pitched an idea of Sam, Kristen, and the two of us working together.  I spoke with Sam and Kristen about Ryan's offer in extensive detail and then we all agreed that it's a good offer.  Who would have thought I'd be working with Ryan... Omg.

-- Estelle -- 

Like with Ryan, Estelle and I have been talking a lot more lately.  We hashed out a lot of interesting topics, and got to the center of a lot of stuff.  *Rolls Eyes*  And she said that she wouldn't target me if she won HoH! I love hearing that, because Estelle is good at competitions and she's due for an HoH... So I hope she wins soon and gets rid of Dixie.  :/
