I went to Rhian and got a deal until the Final 6 where we don't nominate each other and we both keep eachother if we're on the block.. doesn't matter who we are nominated next too.
I tried to salvage the relationship with Dom, but he hasn't replied back to it.
Right now if people keep their word..... I'll be safe until Final 6 aside from Dixie or Estelle winning HOH. I only have to worry about Dixie winning this HOH, I'm good with everyone else. Even so... I some how think the odds are still against me. I had a 30+ minute HOH, would not be surprised if Dixie had something under 20 minutes.

Rhian is confirming she's keeping the deal we made and I'm safe pre/post veto. No surprise that she's informing me of people wanting me nominated. She is one of the few that is actually playing for herself to win. She's the complete opposite of Estelle, which is really good for me. Maybe there is a long term alliance here, she has to think she can beat me in a possible finals situation.
Anyways, I'm laying low this round until post veto. Good night.

Dixie, Estelle, Rhian
back to back to back Kalia HOH's
They're leaving a Final 4 alliance in the game week after week and taking out the middle people. I would love for Dixie to win this next HOH and take out Dom.
I'm curious what side deals Kristen or Sam have... my side deals tend to get voted out quickly. It appears it'll be Talla and myself looking out for each other before Kristen/Sam.
Depending on HOH comp, and skill sets. I'm prepared to make an end game deal with Dixie... she thinks I'm the goat of he season so why wouldn't she want me in the Final 2 with her? I'll lose in jury questions.

I like how I said 6-0 vote when I just voted out Sam.
I want to see people's reaction to a 5-1 or 4-2 vote. If certain people question my vote, they're questioning me before the vote reveal and that causes problems. This final 4 alliance is either solid, or it's not and we'll find out. I have done zero game talk with anyone outside of the 4 this round. I have stressed how important it is to Talla, Kristen, Sam that we all go to the final 4.

this might be coming off as a threat to Dom, but I was FIRED UP
I want to play veto, I don't care if he nominates me. There will be people telling him to put me up... so either make a move or put me up.
that's how I feel.
a few seconds ago QuoteMessage Options What's going on here, you want to work with people in the middle but then you go ahead and vote out Frank.
The outsider watching this game says you're with Estelle, Dixie, and will be super happy to get 4th place. Never saw your season or how you played, but I'll give you my straight thoughts. I have no fucking idea how you won.
I've been betrayed so many times in this game, I'm shocked that I'm still here. There have been a select few people winning every fucking competition, and if you stay with them. How the hell are you going to win anything in the end, especially since this is your first HOH win of the series and especially when Estelle/Dixie have been friends for years and have already been to a final 2 twice under this Big Brother series/spin off.
You have kristen/sam estelle/dixie
Then Talla/Rhia/Dom/Ryan
In some sort, there's 20 different alliances crossfucked like incest with the whole cast. But that's the basics on how things are broken up.
My proposal would be to put up Dixie and then either Kristen/Sam. Maybe you and me can team up with Rhian and Talla as they're the only "outsiders" left in the game... even tho they have 20 other alliances that are mixed with everyone else. There has to be an end game somewhere where the true loyalties will come out.
If you lay down and do the inevitable, I'd rather be nominated and watch this game from the jury stage. A competition threat has to leave this round or this game is over, don't make a stupid fucking move.. but if you plan on doing so, use it to take me out as I don't want to be apart of it.

59 minutes ago QuoteMessage Options Geesh, don't get your panties in a bunch.
My vote against Frank was because I was told and knew that the best case scenario would be a tie, and in the case of a tie, Rhian would eliminate Frank. Obviously, I've been "against" Sam and Kristen, and would have preferred for Sam to leave. But given your same argument from this week, Frank was the bigger threat in the end. Either way, my vote really didn't matter.
Also, I'm aware of the general lines that have been drawn, and that there are a shit ton of cross alliances, of which nobody is really sure how they will pan out in the end. The way I won in season 5 was by making moves that would put me in better situations for future rounds, ie: taking out people who I was sure were after me. Do I think that anybody is going to be 100% true to me in this cast? Hell no. But I know for a fact that Sam/Kristen have no reason to want to keep me, especially since I've been very verbal about wanting them out, and at this point, I wouldn't trust any deal that they made me. Eliminating one of them this round makes the most sense initially.
You asking to be nominated in return is kind of off-putting, but maybe it's a ploy on your part. Idk. Either way, my initial nominations are obvious. Depending on who wins PoV, a move might be made. Everyone is a threat in their own way. Challenge wins aren't the end all/be all.
Anyways, I'm sure you'll be pissed by this, but this is my HoH. If I make a "stupid fucking move," then I'll be the one who deals with the consequences. *shrug*
less than a minute ago QuoteMessage Options That was well said, I had sent a similar message to Helen the round she won HOH and she never replied back to me. I won't be mad with any combination of nominations that you have, I didn't agree with last weeks backdoor plan but I respected it and in the end and I'll do the same with you.
I don't want to be nominated, however it is hard to read you and see what you want done in this game. It looks like you're going to hold your own this round, which in the end is all I really want. I'm sure people are wanting me nominated, so as long as you disregard that we'll be good moving forward and maybe there is an end game plan we can work out.

11 hours ago QuoteMessage Options Well, I'm glad you're at least reasonable (or really good at faking it! ).
I am definitely going to hold my own. I'm not the type to try to control people's HoH reigns typically, and I'm not gonna let anybody control mine. So even if they do campaign for me to nominate you, I will ultimately make my own decision. And as of right now, I have 0 intention of putting you up pre/post veto. I do think that we can continue to work together, even if that doesn't always mean targetting the same people. Not once have I considered you someone that I wanted to see leave the game, and as I've explained, my vote against you was more of a vote for Shane to stay.
Also, I apologize for not being readily available on AIM, and thus being hard to read. But feel free to come to me in PM any time. I'm generally pretty good at making sure to respond!
Post by Ryan Buckingham on Mar 14, 2014 20:04:08 GMT -5
I'm thinking Rhian or Talla will be nominated. I thought there was a chance Dixie would go up, but Dom never replies to PM's.. and if he does it's a round later. I have no idea how he won a game, he doesn't care this season and it's frustrating. At least communicate with people, whether you like the plan or disagree with it.. ignoring it all together pisses me off.
If Dixie or Rhian go up, it will be a 4th? 5th? straight HOH failure.. does anyone know there's a 4 person alliance in this game....
