WEEK TWELVE

FINAL HOH COMPETITION

So I survived... but it was a much closer call than I thought. I can't say that I really blame Sarah for thinking of voting me out. It was the smarter move by a mile game-wise. It's just that all that we had talked about and all that she had told me, I didn't think she would even really come close to making a move like that. I did have to definitely work my ass off to stay in the game and luckily it worked out. So we got the final 3 that I wanted! Holla.

Now for the first part of the challenge it was posting, and I was not feelin' optimistic about my chances with this. Sheila is bananas at this type of shit, and I knew Sarah would be so determined. I didn't have all that much time to do and in the end I messed it up anyways. I really wanted Sheila to win though because I did not want to go against her in Part 2, because I knew that challenge would be something up both of our alleys. Sarah won though, so I guess that's fine. And then in Part 2 it was really close between me and Big She, but I blew it at the end by not reading the directions correctly. I am so pissed at myself! I wanted to win this final HoH real bad. I feel like I have just coasted by too much here towards the end of the game and I wanted to do this for myself. Oh well. I really don't know if either one of them will take me to the final 2 for sure or not. They probably have a better chance against each other, but I think they both have more loyalty towards me. Either way I am really happy to have gotten to this point and I won't have hard feelings if I am voted out here.

THE VOTE

I figured Part 3 will be a little bit of a crap shoot, and it was. But of course luck is on Sheila's side and she wins it! I was happy about that. I was a little more confident that she would take me than Sarah would. Everything Sheila has been saying led me to believe she would, it's just that we never explicitly talked about final 2 and you never really know, so I was really nervous waiting for the decision. She did take me though since I have been completely loyal to her all game especially when everyone was against her. I am thrilled to have made it to the end with her. Sarah has been a great friend and ally in this game, but frankly it wouldn't feel right to be there with here. I think I have a pretty good shot at winning the game, but it is no guarantee, who knows what people are thinking and Sheila definitely is a force and has an impressive resume in this game. We will see how it goes...
