The Blogging Hour

Here is where I will answer the questions provided to me by the bloggers

Question by Terri Joe: Who do you believe is running the house?

Is it wrong of me to say myself? My main fear currently is others viewing me that way. Anyway, let me answer this question in full honesty. I genuinely.. do not know? I believe that there are people running certain aspects of the game. For instance, Christine and I are 100% running the social department. She did however fuck herself over a little this past week (On Loid's and I's HoH). I will get into that more when it comes to the trust rankings as I don't believe it belongs under this question. In terms of competitions, I think it's pretty clear that Tangerine, Mama Toad, Nina, and I are the front runners there. Tangerine has full power this week. Mama Toad is good at speed and is obviously a vet. Nina I believe may be a vet and has been dominating competitions since seeing the block last week. As for the strategic aspect of this game, I'd have to go with Aimee. She was the first one to clock and state that Frisk leaving this week might be better as Charlie has missed a lot of the traps. This, in turn, means that he might die off at some point. I don't believe it will happen, but alas, I'm not going to be the one to go saying anything.

Question by Haley James Scott: What do you feel like you have done to help you survive the first few weeks of the game - do you feel like you are setting yourself up well for late game or are you taking it week by week?

Everything that I do, I try and calculate it. I am fearing that me speaking to you all for that hour may have a few people looking my way, but hopefully not! I am going to attempt to write this without needing to do an entire essay, but I make no promises

As I have made aware, I am a college student working a full time. I knew right away that my schedule might interfere with this game (The hosts knew of this before casting me). I decided to register on Thursday to save myself time come Friday as I knew there was going to be a move-in task. Let me make it known that during that first trap, I was at work. At that current point in time, I still had my one coworker, and she did not give a single fuck about me doing what I was doing. She knows the show Big Brother, so her seeing me compete was something she was interested in. When I finished that trap, I purposely waited some time (I tried waiting longer, but I honestly think I lasted like 10 minutes) to post in the Move-In Feast. I did not want others to see me posting right away as being the second person to post would make me look as a competition beast.. Ironic seeing as I just won an HoH and I was first in the second trap. For the Move-In Feast, I was talkative to an extent, but not too much to where I would be seen as somebody who is always active. Activity is a good thing, but it can also be a death trap. Anyway, this is my day one experience up until one on ones opened up.

When one on ones opened up, I only messaged about two people that night. Everyone seemed to have logged off by then, so it was really just crickets. I do trust that Arisaw is correct in the fact that none of you guys will snitch to anybody on the cast what these messages say, so I do plan on going into some detail. Anyway, the first person I reached out to was Alison. Her and I bonded right away. She was the star of my night one experience.

Day two hits and I wake up to a few messages. Overall, it's pretty dull and just the basic conversation starters. Throughout the day, I was able to talk with quite a few people and formed an alliance. This alliance consists of Christine, Lois, K, Aimee, and myself. This alliance was actually started by me saying fuck the fluff and I just straight up told Lois I like her and that I'd like to form something with her, so this is how this happened LMAO. When Sofia W won HoH, I was fearing for my life as she wasn't very responsive towards me. It turns out she wasn't very responsive towards anyone. I ended up being told that I was good and that she likes me, so love that!

By day three, I've spoken with a lot of the cast and have been approached by a few people about beginning something. I was approached by Sofia C and Tangerine. Sofia C and I both loved Alison and Aimee, so this is how our four formed. Tangerine mentioned that Christine and I are the people he's spoken to the most and that he loves us a lot. When Christine and I told him hey we like each other too, he made trio alliance. (If you notice a repeat in names for some of the alliances I am in, trust me, it was on purpose). With Danny as a final nominee, I used it to my advantage. I told that man EVERYTHING. Who he had, who he didn't have, etc. to develop a strong bond with him as it was clear he was staying. He now trusts me a lot. Again, everything I do is calculated. Even down to those random (but true) public messages.

Day four, my HoH reign!! If there is one thing I know I'm good at, it's speed. When I realized that I was the fastest out of the cast, I would bet on myself to where if I didn't win, I would go down to 85 and still have a shot at winning the 85 ounces HoH instead of the highest. When round one concluded and people mentioned betting on me, I knew that I'd have to trip some people up. I purposely threw the rounds I lost. If I didn't, I would've won them. On those rounds, I bet 2 on Mark just for fun. Loid ended up winning the other HoH.. which honestly? I fucking loved it. This allowed me to develop a DEEP connection with Loid. Now, I have a deep connection with Loid, Sofia C, Aimee, Alison, Christine, Tangerine, K, and Mark. I'm not sure how Mark's started, but it did LMFAO. Winning this HoH also allowed me to spin the wheel. (Might I add, that 2k posts disadvantage is fucking crazy). I ended up getting an advantage. There was only a 25% chance of this happening. I won a vote nullifier which I plan to use if I am ever on the block and need assistance. I've told two people (which I regret a little, but I don't see them turning on me for awhile). Those two people were Sofia C and Loid. This day is also when I finalized a final 2 with Sofia C.

As for my nominees, I went with what would put the least amount of blood on my hands. That being Beatrix and Tyler. Beatrix messaged me before the results were announced but after round 8. That was the first time we ever spoke. When I let her know she was going to be nominated, she did try and play the victim and basically make me feel bad. I didn't give a single shit though. She apologized that following morning.

With this HoH, it allowed me to not only develop newer bonds, but also allowed me to strengthen the bonds I already had. Loid asked for me to not nominate Mark, and in return I asked for him to not nominate K. K is somebody who hasn't spoken with Loid up until this HoH. Loid agreed, and thus K really trusts me now.

On the day of the veto, day five, Mark and Christine got into a really huge.. thing. To summarize it, Mark, Loid, K, Christine and I were going to make a five person alliance. Originally, Christine wasn't going to be in it, but Christine had asked Mark for an alliance, so this saved him having to make two of them. This is where it becomes a he said she said situation. Either Mark or Christine wanted to make a bigger alliance. All would've been fine if us five were still in it. Wrong. It was like Mark, Christine, the two Sofia's, Aimee, Alison, Danny. Something like that. (It was never made). Mark was ranting to me saying how he doesn't want the alliance anymore because it doesn't include us all. Danny then ran to Mark's dms saying how "Christine said YOU wanted to make this big alliance." I would like to note here that this whole issue is 100% my fault. Danny went to Mark about that because Danny came to me about the big alliance and all the names of who was going to be in it. Since Mark was the one to approach him, I was like the fuck? I told Danny how there was going to be that five, so Danny acted like a maniac to Mark about Christine to have them going at each other. (I'm now realizing what I said would go in the trust rankings went here.. OOPS!) I, of course, am going to ride the middle in this. I got Mark already ranting to me, so I went to Christine and got her to start ranting to me. This makes them both believe I'm on their sides, when in reality, I just do not care at all.

This brings us to the current day.. or well I guess it's technically Thursday now, but idgaf. I am actually glad Tyler and Beatrix stayed on this vote as it makes it look like I don't have many solid connections. Tyler being expelled was an EAT!

Anyways, that's what's going on I guess. Sorry for how long this is and sorry for just a long ass but small break down of my game. I am playing this in the face of long term but also week by week. I am developing connections that I want for further into this game while ALSO making sure that I am good for every HoH that comes along until shit inevitably hits the fan.

Just as a few side notes, I have also been approached by Mama Toad to make an alliance. I mentioned Sofia C and Nina for that as we've all done well in competitions and it would be a pretty damn good alliance. This was before Nina even won her veto, so it doesn't even look phony

As for the other side note, I am trying to make sure every alliance I'm in has at LEAST one other person from another one of my alliances. This way, if any of them get exposed, I'm not the only one going down

Ok this was a lot of typing. Goodbye yess

Question by Motoki Maxted: an you give us your trust ranking from most trusted to least trusted, giving us your rationale as well?

1. Sofia Carson: Her and I have a final 2. We developed a tight ass bond early on, and it's only deepened since. I trust her with my life and she trusts me just as much. We tend to just joke around a lot when there's really nothing interesting going on.
2. Aimee Gibbs: This girl is kind of cracked she’s so smart and so dumb at the same time. She came to me about the majority alliance thing and said how she declined it and that if I get approached about it, I should decline it too. Today she messaged me saying she's sorry if she doesn't respond much. She checks her messages and responds with fluff, but knows that we're good. We speak with each other when it comes time to game, but we did all that introduction shit awhile ago
3. Alison Dilaurentis: Maybe it’s the character choice, idk, but I love this girl. She was the first person I reached out to during this season and I believe that her and I just trust each other.
4. Mark Hoffman: After that whole majority alliance thing with Christine, I do currently believe Mark over Christine. If I am wrong, that's my bad. What I do know is he shit talked Christine a LOT in my messages, and it takes trust to be able to say shit and hope it doesn't get out.
5. K: I’m not sure if it’s because of his help with my Japanese work or what, but he just seems extremely trustworthy to me. I think me being able to make sure he’s safe on Loid’s HoH also speaks volumes about my loyalty to him
6. Loid Forger: Loid and I's HoHs together was everything I could've asked for. It developed a deeper bond and we just overall talked a lot of game. We both gave each other a name of somebody we didn't want to nominate. We made sure that our nominations don't overlap. When it came time for Loid's renomination, he came to me asking if I was okay with Michelle going on the block and asked if I think it's a good idea. Overall, just very trustworthy for me right now
7. Danny Torrance: As of right now, I’m placing Danny at 7th because I’m unsure of how trustworthy he can be. He’s already told me I’m his number one, but he’s a little messy so it does scare me that he might accidentally leak the wrong thing
8. Tangerine: Tangerine and I get along so damn well. We crack a shit ton of jokes with each other and are always messing around. He could be higher, but I'm putting him at eight as he does seem like somebody I won't want around extremely deep into the game.
9. Mrs. Dolores 'Mama' Toad: She told me she doesn’t have any alliances. Whether that’s true or not, I’m not 100% sure. She did ask me if I wanted to create anything and asked who I was good with though, so I do think we have a bit of a bond going on
10. Sofia Wylie: This girl is all over the place. From first HoH to everyone being paranoid on where they stand with her. She then made a girls alliance of five and has actually been pretty damn active in it
11. Lois Griffin: We have had a few nice chats and we do have our active alliance, but I’d like to develop a closer personal bond with her before I rank her any higher
12. Christine Quinn: If I had done this ranking right away, Christine would EASILY have been in the top five. It’s just with that whole big alliance thing and then me not being part of it, I don’t know.. She’s playing so damn hard and it’s already creating waves. Again, this is from the perspective of me currently. believing Mark over her.
13. Shoto Todoroki: Shoto and I don’t really speak much. He expected for me to nominate him, so I think that kind of proves where he thinks or thought he stands/stood with me. I’d need to talk to him more fs
14. Nina Bo'nina Brown: Nina promised me the damn world if I didn’t nominate her. I obviously didn’t as the week has passed. I did approach her about the four, but she is so goddamn unresponsive to where it's hard to actually make it happen.
15. Charlie Dompler: We just don't really talk. I know he's busy as shit, but a single hey I'm busy could suffice. I did keep him safe on my HoH and I know he's good at competitions, so if he wins one, he better keep me safe tf
16. Frisk: 100% would’ve been my renomination. I understand trying to downplay your activity by only purposely responding at certain times and shit, but come on man. This strategy won’t work if you don’t give ANYTHING
17. Beatrix Kiddo: I nominated her, so I wouldn’t be shocked if I go on the block if she were to win something. What sucks is that it’s now clear she’s able to win competitions as she came second to Nina. We have talked quite a bit after she stayed, so I'm going to try and make a connection incase she gets in power

I do realize my connections are all over the place. For right now, that's on purpose. I would rather not win an HoH again anytime soon as I need to start downplaying my threat level

Question by Sonic: Out of all the houseguests left, who is the one person you absolutely want out next, no matter what it does to your game?

At this current point in time, Beatrix. I say this because she's somebody I've nominated, and if she gets into power, I very well could be screwed

Question by Ferris Bueller: if you win the next hoh who would you nominate, who's your target and why

The answer I'm going to provide doesn't really answer your question. I don't plan on winning an HoH anytime soon unless I absolutely need to. I've already won one and would like to downplay my threat level. Plus, at the current moment, I do not have any nominees really. I could do like Beatrix and Charlie (Assuming Frisk leaves), but I don't want to do that. Hell to the no!

Am I allowed to send like a conclusion to those questions? If I can, it is this

Anyways, I hope I answered all of your questions. It is currently 1:30 in the morning and I am typing this on my laptop instead of my PC because those keys are loud as hell. If I did not, I apologize and I will be looking at the thread in the morning to make sure I got them all. I hope this season has been an interesting experience for y'all! Hopefully you're rooting for me, but I wouldn't be hurt if you're not. I have no idea how I come off to the public. I will be reading all of your blogs post season, so hopefully there's some good shit in there <3

Guess my question is chopped liver!

Did that last paragraph mean nothing to you?

Question by Pamela Jenkins: I would like to see an ideal boot list, preferably in your DR, as well as 3 possible nominations for eviction next week if you so happen to win.

For the latter half of your "question," I don't really have three nominations LMFAO. Whichever one stays between Charlie/Frisk would be one, and then I'd have to throw Beatrix up there as well. As for a third, I'm completely unsure. I just won an HoH like three days and you're already making me send a new list smh! But genuinely, I only have two possible nominees at the moment

Now for the boot order..

1. Andrea Agosti: I obviously want myself to win
2/3. Alison Dilaurentis/Sofia Carson: Whichever one is in the final two with me is currently a toss up. At the present moment, this is my ideal final three. This is purely because I think we're all kind of tight with each other and I do believe I could win the final HoH over both of them. Plus, I think I'd win against either (hopefully)
4. Danny Torrance: I want Danny in the final four as I think Alison/Sofia would evict him if I don't win that HoH and one of them wins the veto. Since I know so much about Danny's game already, I do think I could do one hell of a campaign against them. The issue lies in the fact that I will clearly be a target by that point
5. Sofia Wylie: I am unsure of her competition abilities as she won a luck HoH, but I do believe she likes me. I say this because when she made that 5 person girls alliance, the ONLY person she approached about it was me. Why she did it that way, the world may never know. But she's somebody who I feel could be a potential easy boot if needed.. hell I actually might place her in the f2/f3 spots as the game furthens
6. Shoto Todoroki: I think that Shoto and I get along well. He thinks of Aimee and I as people he can trust a lot, so if I can keep that trust going to as far as I can, I'd like to. Depending on the trust level when it gets to this point in the game, I'd be down to make him stay longer.
7. Aimee Gibbs: This girl is all over the place, but is definitely with me I feel. My one thing is we have a lot of the same allies. She makes it seem like she's going to do what I want as she's more of an emotional player, but I do feel like that's somebody I'm going to need to look out for
8. Christine Quinn: I'm putting Christine at 7 because I just know for a fact that she's somebody who cannot leave too early. She has a target on her back to begin with, so the longer that lasts, the longer I can hopefully scathe by freely
9. Mark Hoffman: I'd like Mark to leave 8th because of his little feud with Christine. If Mark leaves, I would be able to say how Christine now has a decent resume as the person she was feuding with is now gone.
10. Loid Forger: I'm putting Loid at number nine because I don't think we're going to protect each other for the entirety of the game. This is what I'm unsure of, but if it happens, Loid can definitely last longer in my eyes
11. Tangerine: I want Tangerine on the jury, but I don't want him to make it too far. This can obviously change depending on how big of a target I have on my back. For right now though, I'm looking at a jury standpoint
12. Nina Bo'nina Brown: I'd like for Nina to go far, don't get me wrong, but she is pretty inactive. If she can go as far as she possibly can without getting out, that's what I'd prefer
13. Mrs. Dolores 'Mama' Toad: She has a way of just making you love her. The earlier she goes, the better. I'd still like for her to go a bit later as she is somebody I would believe to keep me safe
14. K: I think that K and I trust each other a lot, but he is just extremely smart and blasts it to the world. It's going to get him fucked over
15. Lois Griffin: Out of all my alliance members, I trust her the least. This might just be because of her character choice tbh.. I don't see her leaving this early, but I would like for it to happen!
16. Charlie Dompler: We just do not speak much so I genuinely have little to no trust in him
17. Beatrix Kiddo: I've already nominated her once and I've clocked her strategy. It's an annoying one to say the least
18. Frisk: I'm putting Frisk here because I know he's already leaving

Question by Terri Joe: Should you make Final 2, who is your ideal houseguest to sit beside and why?

Well.. my ideal final two is leaving this week now I’d hope to be sitting next to maybe Danny or something. I think Danny would be somebody I’d be able to beat. A lot of people forget he’s here half the time and dislike the fact that he isn’t really that active. Either somebody like Danny, Beatrix, or hell, even Nina are people I believe I’d be able to beat with hopefully little to no issues

Question by Haley James Scott: Have you been blindsided by any of the votes or events so far and do you feel like you have had any control over anything that’s happening?!

I haven’t been blindsided by any of these votes. Despite me voting in the minority a majority of the time during the prejury phase, that was entirely on purpose. I have been playing both sides the entire prejury to then set myself up for the jury phase. There are only two votes in which I did not lie to at least one person in the prejury. Those being the first week with my vote to evict Art and this previous week to evict Shoto

As for whether or not I feel if I’ve had any say over what’s happening.. hell yeah. I got Mark to renominate Wylie over Mama Toad. I got Nina to put up Mark this week instead of nominating Christine directly. I’ve known BEFORE every single nomination ceremony who was going on the block before it happened. Whether I was told directly by the HoH or somebody else in the cast

As for the votes, I have been making sure that votes go a certain way to allow me to vote a certain way. For instance, with this current week, Sofia C is 100% a goner. Between Alison and Christine.. I don’t necessarily care much for who stays. All three of the nominees have referred to me as their #1 at some point

Questions by Eleanor Bonneville:

1. Ideally, who are the next 3 people you would like to see evicted and why?

I am not going to count this current eviction as there are two people who leave. For these following three weeks, I’d like to see Mark, Wylie, and Loid leave. These are my preferences as Mark is good as shit at competitions, I don’t trust Wylie for shit, and Loid knows a lot about my game. Aimee could also be thrown in there as she knows the entirety of my game. I’m talking everything. Double agent and all. She could fuck me over in a heartbeat

2. Who are the top 3 people that you think are in your personal way of winning this game? Extra brownie points if you can include some kind of explanation.

So, I think that in terms of top three, the people in my way to getting to the end of this game are Mark, Loid, and Wylie. Mark I could see doing well in the final two and he’s also a beast at competitions. Loid is somebody who is like looked upon as a target by one side, but is overlooked at the same time as Mark is the primary target. As for Wylie, her ass would take my ass out in a heartbeat LMFAO

3. Who’s your number 1 ally and why?

Well.. my current number one (Sofia C) is leaving, so I guess I should probably answer this differently now. I’d have to go with on a personal level, my number one is Aimee as she knows the absolute most about me. On a game level, probably Danny as I believe he would be willing to take me far. Who knows though. I do feel like I am a huge target, so I probably won’t even make it to the end
