Soon I discovered that this Chel's Challenge thing was true
Sheila is the devil
Jesus was an ORG player previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden, I found myself in loathe with the world
So there was only one thing that I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long
If this were the real Big Brother, would I even be getting any air time anymore? I swear even the Parker fans would have given up on me at this point. lol
2 more challenges in the books and 2 more failures by Parker. Normally I do well in BB games because HOH and POV challenges are so important but in this game that has become my downfall. I couldn't even win a luck-based Battleships challenge...and it was on 4/20 of all days!!! You know things just aren't going your way when....
It reminds me of being at the poker table on a night where luck just isn't going my way. You can sit there and wait for a good hand and get blinded out of the game, or you can push all in and hopefully double-up. That's pretty much how I felt about this game. I do not want to just sit back and hope to get to the f5 or f4 and then get booted. I needed to gain control, now, and turn things in my favour. That's why I decided to keep the challenge bonus rather than the immunity that Nat had. Immunity is great but that's not going to help me long term. I absolutely needed to win this HOH to have any shot in this game.
Now that the dust is settled and I am with Will on the block, I figure my chances of survival are now down to about 5%. What makes things harder is that I really did leave myself with no room to wiggle. In order to gain 2 of Dani, Nat and Nathan's votes, I would have to make some sort of deal with 2 of them. Any such deal would have included me keeping them safe next round and obviously with only 6 people left and one of them being Sarah (who I wouldn't vote out), I would have to lie to one of them. I have made it this far in the game without lying or begging or shady deal-making, and I am not going to start now.
Sheila - She knows I am gunning for her and any attempt to convince her otherwise is an insult to both our intelligence.
Natalie - She IM'd me and wanted me to offer her some sort of deal but I would not. All I could and would offer her is the promise that I want Sheila out before Nat, which is fairly obvious anyhow.
Daniele - I initiated conversation early in the game with Dani but it was painfully obvious she really had no desire to talk to me so that pretty much was that.
Nathan - He is the only person I felt ok with making some sort of deal with. I let him know that if he helps keep me here that I will not nominate him nor will I vote for him next round. He already knows I want Sheila, Nat and Dani out before him but he also knows I am working with Sarah.
Sarah - I still trust her and I know she is looking out for me. But I get the feeling in the past week she has tried to get herself back in the good graces of Nathan and Sheila. Hopefully she has bettered her position so when I leave she still has a chance to win.
