Final 3

[Dominic Briones]

Well... here we are. I'm feeling like I really need to win this final HoH. I wanna believe that Estelle would take me to the end, and she quite possibly might, but I can't ignore her friendship with Dixie and their history. As well, I wanna believe that it'd be as easy as Dixie throwing the challenge to me/Estelle, but seeing how she tried to get me nominated at final 5, I'm not certain either. I just hope things don't get ugly. We've come so far working together, and as the plan has been, Dixie should be going home this round. I hope it's as easy as that. =X

Looking at the final 2 though, and assuming I make it with Estelle, here's a quick rundown of how I see the votes going...

Dixie - Estelle
Talla - Estelle
Rhian - Dominic
Kristen - 50/50
Ryan - 60/40 Dominic
Sam - 50/50
Frank - Estelle
Shane - Dominic
GM - Estelle

I don't think it's impossible for me to win. I'm basing my vote from Shane off of me being very cordial to him the entire game and Estelle being the HoH who took him out. As well, Rhian's final comments make me think I could get her vote. Ryan might be pissed enough at Estelle to vote me, granted, I feel like he was pissed at me as well. I know that Kristen and Sam are/were friends with Estelle, so she might get their vote for that reason, but I know that I've gotta work hard in my final arguments of why I should win. I don't see Talla voting for me, despite wanting to take me to the final 2, and I don't see any way of getting Dixie/GM's votes. It'll be a tough push... but I'm ready.

Leave it to me to once again lose all the challenges at the end of the game.
I am at the complete mercy of Estelle/Dixie at this point.

My biggest fear: Estelle will "mess up" the final challenge, and "accidentally" give Dixie the win, at which point, Estelle can have no blood on her hands, and Dixie can play the "I've been friends with Estelle longer" card, and BOOM, that's an easy way for them to get rid of me with no obvious repercussions. That would totally suck, and I think they are close enough for it to be a possibility... especially if they really have been planning on final 2 for a while now.

I know I'm so pessemistic at times, and as much as I really want to believe that Estelle truly has my back 100% over Dixie, it's a hard thing to rest easy with. I don't think Estelle would ever maliciously come at me, but I still have a tinge of doubt in my mind that won't go away until I am either sitting in the final 2 chair, or my doubt has been justified with me sitting in the jury.

Guess it's a waiting game from here!
