Week 9
Houseguests: Amy Crews, Brian Hart, Casey Turner, Enzo Palumbo, James Rhine, Justin Sebik, Rachel Reilly
Casey was happy about a stressful but successful HOH reign, but others weren't sure about it.
After a HUGE discussion/fight with James and Brian, they finally saw the light and got rid of her.
SO in the end, my week was probably the most frustrating week ever, but it worked out alright <3.
Kristen is not in the house......that just feels....so weird. It's almost like a grenade got dropped. I love Kristen and will miss her dearly
. I really tried to save her last week by getting James backdoored but Casey had me beat on that front and got a read on it before I could go through with it.
So a last minute switch may have fucked me over. We'll see what happens though!
Can I survive this week? Probably not, I mean I have a one in four shot at winning HoH, and a 50/50 chance of it being in the right hands. But I ain't scurred. I wish a bitch would...
I ended up talking to Enzo today, kinda initiating conversation with a bunch of annoying questions, and he very calmly responded to each without any sarcastic assness (something I would've done). I ended up feeling bad, because I feel like I placed Enzo in a position where he HAS to go after me. And I understand that. I mean cut out the brains of the operation (me), and its easy gliding from there.
But, being a control freak, I went against that nature of "I know all great strategies" and allowed for Casey to call the shots and get rid of Kristen. But doing so, I firmly believe he also got rid of himself, myself, and Brian. We'll see if Casey's strategy paid off, because the move we just made was not beneficial for team RHINEHART!
At the HOH competition the Final 7 competed in a competition where they had to find as many differences in 4 sets of pictures. Finding the most differences was Enzo and he was crowned the new HOH.
So this week, in the ultimate form of BB karma, Enzo won HOH! Now, at first, I thought it would take maneuvering on my end to get him to target James and Brian over Justin, but we talked about it after Kristen's eviction and he believes that is the best move, and there's no way around it-it is, not only for him, but for me. I know I'm safe this week no matter how it's spun unless Enzo has a complete brain fart. So I'm happy! Hopefully James gets his bags packed this week! ;D.
I feel bad for Casey, though. He tried to pull me, James, and Brian in with him and Justin, but I don't think either side of the Amy vs. James/Brian feud had ever trusted each other fully and ever would, so the truth came out last week, game ON!
If you want me to be completely honest, I didnt want to win this hoh, because I wanted Enzo to win, it would be the only way both of us would stay safe this week.
I was going to attempt the hoh but yeah i just never got the chance to really try and compete lol.
James, Brian.You two fuckers are going down.
Enzo wins HoH by one point.
I'm just not sure how this game is gonna play out. Enzo is upset with James and Casey a bit more than he is with me I think but I can't be 100% sure that they won't smooth talk their way out of it. If I can avoid the block at all costs this week I'll be fine. Hopefully I can win the veto and either keep the noms the same (if Casey is on the block) or pull James off should he find himself nominated next to Justin. The thing is with Casey on the block I dont think I have the votes to keep Justin. Amy will keep Casey. How will Rachel vote?!
James and Justin are my Final 2s. Hopefully Justin doesnt have one with everyone. This may very well be the week James gets to see a jury house.
Too much planning ahead of time. I should just wait for Enzo's nomination and keep quiet. Avoid this week and I should be fine. Whomever between Casey and James stays, they are who I have to be loyal to.
I definitely felt all alone after Kristen got screwed. She was definitely my heart in this game and she still is. <333 But I was absolutely LIVID when I realized that James and Brian both lied to me. They can say it was last minute all they want but I don't buy that shit at all. I had to keep calm the whole time though and be mature about it. I already lost my cool once when Justin antagonized me. So I had to make sure I wasn't going to do it again. I think it went well and everyone actually commented on how well I was taking things. Well of course I'm going to take things well in front of those fuckers! Why would I show them any weakness at all? Besides, all of these assholes are just telling everyone what they want to hear. It's completely obvious and I have no problems calling people out on anything! I think that is very apparent. lol
So of course my back was against the wall this week. If I didn't win HoH, my ass was out the door next and into jury. Wellll, I work well under pressure and I knew it was my time to shine
The past 2 weeks have been absolutely hell for me personally though so I was glad that I had even just an hour to work on the HoH.
Once I won, I knew the game was on.
With penalties still in tact, Justin was automatically nominated and Enzo needed only to make one nomination.
[To house]
Enzo: Welcome to the nomination ceremony everyone! This game sure is crazy and I'd imagine we haven't seen the last of it yet. This week I can only nominate one person for eviction. After last weeks shenanigans, I have reasons to nominate several of you. I've been lied to, backstabbed and lost an amazing ally and friend all in one week. So I'm definitely going to make the most of this week.
I've nominated Casey for eviction this week. Casey, don't think that this move is solely based on revenge, because it's not. There of course is a little revenge but I'm focused on the strategic part. It's becoming quite clear that you are the person that has the most allies in this game. You have 3 people you can pair up with at anytime. and I'll tell ya, you've done a damn good job keeping them all here. Which also makes you the most dangerous person to have around. I think the way you went about getting out Kristen was horrible and I'm not sure if this is true but I heard that your move was basically all revenge from season 6. I'm not going to speculate about that because I haven't talked to you since I won HoH. Instead of hiding on invisible and "being a pussy" (your words), you could've proudly stated what you were going to do because you have held the majority of votes for weeks now. But instead you had James do your bidding and Brian blindly followed him because they are inseparable. Which is odd because James did it to protect you but in turn made Brian look like a liar. That is lame too. But the thing is, there was nothing anyone could've done about it anyway but because there was paranoia of a non existent double vote, things turned out pretty shitty, imo. But it happened and I don't blame just you for Kristen leaving. It was several peoples errors that made last week turn out the way it did.
So now I'm interested to see what happens. Will James save Casey and risk Brian going up? Will Brian save Casey and risk James going up? Will Casey save himself? Will Justin ever get off the damn block? Find all this out and more when we play...... THE POWER OF VETO!
Good luck everyone and I mean that. This nomination ceremony is adjourned.
Time to set my plan in motion. James does his regular spiel. "Please nominate me" Ohh okay James... Like I'd really give you what you want. It was crystal clear to me that being nominated is exactly where James wanted to be. He had himself, Brian and Casey fighting to win the veto for him. What a perfect position to be in!
Brian did his usual, "I'm not ready to go yet and I'll do what you want this week, etc.." It's old and tired. As much as both James and Brian love to lie and be strategic, I can predict them because I would think the same way they do! Maybe I am just as predictable to them? Hmm.... Doubtful since I pulled a fast one and put Casey up instead hahaha James said he knew something was up but whatever. I don't believe ANYTHING James says. At all. Everything he tells me is for game purposes only. Even when I tell him that I can't be manipulated, he still continues to try and tell me what he thinks I want to hear. lol *shakes head*
With me and James avoiding the block this week it is imperative that one of us wins veto. I told James about my deal with Justin and he was not too happy about that. Did he expect me and him to be able to make it to the end together? That is just ridiculous.
It does make sense to keep Casey though. Casey owes me and James for last week. and then it would be 3 people vs Rachel in the next HoH. Gah I'm just not sure! And How loyal can Justin be to me when he obviously has something with Amy.
This game is tough! Hopefully I can win the veto
Found out about Brian making a Final 2 with Justin. If that's the case, he should vote out Casey. But he's telling me he's gonna vote out Justin which imo doesn't makes sense. But then again, Brian doesn't make sense.
Wow......Enzo....you're a fucking genius. That was the smartest move he could possibly have made. Yes, my good friend Casey is on the block and in considerable danger, but what it does is it makes sure that James and Brian cannot play for each other in the veto and that Casey cannot play for James either, leaving Casey as the only person who would veto himself at this point, because not even I would, which would keep James and Brian from being able to send me out the door and also keeps me safe another week.
Call me crazy but maybe just maybe this game will turn out well for me.
At the veto competition, the houseguests had to connect the correct houseguests in a certain order and with a time of :15 seconds, James won the veto.
I murdered the power of veto competition, in the most humble fashion. And now I have to decide whether or not to use it.
I'm clearly not going to use it. I won't risk Brian going on the block EVER. So Casey and Justin can chill just where they are <3
But I am surprised Amy is going to vote to keep Casey, as well as Brian. All too interesting, but at the end of the day, I want to be the last winner standing, so I guess Justin leaving is fine with me!
Here's to final 6. Next HoH comp, Brian, James, and Casey vs. Rachel
At the veto meeting James had an easy choice to make.
[To house]
James: Dear Casey,
I decided not to use the veto on you because I am deathly afraid of you. You are an intimidating, hot dog eating sexy beast GOD, and I am not worthy. This is in the name of Laura. Plus, I don't want to risk Rachel going up.
Love you!
-James
Dear Justin,
Idk how you're reading this, considering that you don't have board access, but I am also not using the veto on you. You are an HoH threat, and I'm really intimidated that you'll win HoH next week.
Love you!
-James
I DECIDE NOT TO USE THE POWER OF VETO. Gl houseguests! Veto ceremony is adjourned.
okay so I laid everything out there and what would happen should certain people win veto. Well, once again... Plan is working perfectly! James wins veto and doesn't use it. Good job James. You saved your boy Brian! So now, as long as people aren't going to be fucking liars... They should be voting Justin out which will set it up perfectly for Casey to go!
But nothing would surprise me. I just know that if I didn't make this move, I would've been screwing myself for next week anyway. James and Brian are a pair for sure, but Casey's odds of making it to final 2 were greater than theirs and I didn't want that. Even if I don't make it there, I didn't want him in the end. He has played a pretty good game but the way he went about things is what drives me nuts. Then to top it off, he probably thinks he's some great mastermind because he came into the game being close with mulitple people and had multiple F2's. Yeah any idiot can do that. I could've went around making a million alliances and a bunch of F2's but I didn't. Well many alliances, sure I did that 
But making F2's? Nope. I had ONE F2 all game and that was with Kristen. Never had a legit one with Rachel or Amanda. Jason and I discussed it but nothing was ever official as far as I'm concerned. I just want to play my cards at the best possible time. Not using my prize on Kristen has turned into a blessing in disguise. We'll see if I can keep myself in the game past next week. lol It's going to be tough since I'm essentially all by myself. I am relying on Rachel to win HoH next week. Will she? SHE HAS TO STEP UP! She has been horrid when it comes to comps this season. I don't think all of them are intentional but some of them have to be. She really is a comp beast and I'm kind of embarrassed FOR her when it comes to her performance in this game.
James wins veto in an astounding 15 seconds. Uhh ok. So I now have two options. Tie the vote and let Enzo get what he wants OR vote out an ally in Justin.
Casey... He loves James. and I do too but this is just ridiculous. Keeping them together is not beneficial for me in anyway except for maybe having another vote but we both want this end game to go differently.
Getting rid of Justin is a good thing too though. He is a previous winner. I can't be sitting at the end with him. It makes no sense! Gah I need to watch what I say to people. I cant be offering final 2s then break my word.
Before the votes were counted Enzo decided to use his eviction flipper, switching all 4 votes cast to evict Justin to Casey, sending Casey home.
Houseguests: Amy Crews, Brian Hart, Casey Turner, Enzo Palumbo, James Rhine, Justin Sebik, Rachel Reilly
Casey was happy about a stressful but successful HOH reign, but others weren't sure about it.
