Becky Does Her Hair ~ Week 4

[becky]

I AM SO SORRY I FORGOT TO VOTE I thought we had more time

[becky]

And now I'm VERY worried about this round, because I know that I won't be HoH. And we're still in that awkward "well I'm looking for excuses to put people up" phase, so shelli or I could very well end up being put up because we didn't do the comp.

Our BOTB boogeymen (Joshua, Sam, Ramsey, James) are almost all gone. I imagine James will be put up again this week, but the other 3 noms?? No clue. I bet Nick goes up, but I could see me being one of the other two noms :/ gah this is scary

Time to get to werk and get talking to people -- I don't know what else to do really.

EWEWEWEW AT THESE HOHS

Just kidding, Naeha is actually perfect for me. I'm aligned with her, I'm cool, I'm crystal clear on that half. She isn't going to nominate me.

James on the other hand is TROUBLE, because he has already nominated Liz and Nick...two people who I consider STRONG ALLIES in this game. Which means it is imperative that James's noms win on the HOH, so that they can be safe and hopefully someone I don't like goes home.

Naeha is pretty set on putting up arlie, who is definitely someone I consider an ALLY. Like, if he ends up hitting the road, then I won't be too concerned, it won't be the hugest blow (although we did tell each other we were each other's #1s -- awkward!!). I really want to make sure the second person Naeha puts up is Libra, but I don't want to be super pushy about it. That might look suspicious. Yesterday, after it was revealed that I would not be participating in the HoH, Libra sent me the following:

Libra Thompson
Would you be a pawn if I won HoH?
jk
lol



LIKEEEE THAT'S NOT FUNNY??? Maybe she's just awkward and thought that that was funny to joke about, but like a) she hadn't even won HoH yet and b) it just felt like she was rubbing salt in the wound because I couldn't participate in the HoH. So...hopefully Nae puts her up on the block. I've already told Nae about the beef, and also told her a little bit of tea I heard. James apparently said that if he remained HoH and veto had to be used, he would put up Naeha...which is like a bit alarming!! Naeha going up on the block is JUST AS BAD because I also consider her a strong ally in this game.

naeha now has a plan to backdoor James which is A+. I think I may have gotten her to put up Libra with Arlie, and hopefully those two stay on the block. Because if liz and nick stay that'll just be a disaster for my game =x

[becky]

One thing that KILLS me about Big Brother games is a lot of the time I just feel a bit useless? Like, I fucking suck at comps and it's literally impossible for me to beat out 12 other people in any competition. And in Big Brother, winning competitions is so important because that's really the only way you can get shit done.

But what's WORSE is competitions like the BOTB where I am not even playing. Like, the difference between whether or not this week is "oh my god a total disaster" or "hey, this could actually be good for me" depends on whether or not nick and liz can pull themselves off the block. Because if they can, we are seeing either a libra eviction or a james eviction, both of which are A+ for the beckster. BUT IF NOT, one of liz, nick, or naeha is leaving WHICH IS AWFUL AND DISASTROUS.

[becky]

Basically, if Liz and Nick stay on the block my job is to keep my fucking head low and avoid the bombs. I'll basically have to throw veto and then PRAY that the veto is not by someone else and used. Because, real talk here, as much as I LOVE NICK HE IS LITERALLY ONE OF MY FAVE PEOPLE HERE, he's not very active. And him leaving is really bad for the FUN LEVELS I'm experiencing in this game, but in terms of me actually making it far in this game...losing Nick isn't exactly awful.

Losing Nae or Liz though is NOT GREAT, I basically will have to backstab the crazy ladies alliance hardcore and reveal I have a connection with Liz. No bueno.

[becky]

Welp, this is turning into disaster week already

Time to throw the Fuck out of this veto

I don't know why I talk about throwing things, I'm not gonna win anyway

[becky]

Lol I had the last place time and I didn't even try to throw :X

Whatevs, Howard winning probably isn't the best honestly because he might take Liz off

[becky]

Actually that's not awful because as long as Nick stays on this week isnt worse case scenario

I am starting to kind of get a PICTURE on this house and how the factions are forming. Of course, I may be hideously wrong, but things are starting to come into place.

First, you have me/steve/liz/shelli. Steve liz and shelli have an alliance with Howard and Arlie. Together, the six of us make up a pretty strong side of the house HOWEVER it is not a side of the house I feel exactly comfortable with. I am not officially aligned with Arlie and Howard, and Howard is a competition beast. Later on in the game, he might put me up, and that wouldn't be good.

Next, there's the alliance of me/naeha/kelsey/nick. This alliance is PROBABLY taking a hit this week if Nick leaves, which I'm super bummed about.

Lastly, you have...well, the rest. James/libra/cass/kathy. And to be totally honest, it would make sense for these four to be aligned but I'm honestly not sure. None of the four of them ever talk game to me (or, hell, rarely do they talk to me at all), so I wonder if they feel comfortable enough with the house, or if they're just bad. I think in James/Libra/Cass's case, they really are just bad. They both have faults that have gotten on the cast's nerves. James has no personality, Libra is kind of a bitch, and Cass can be pretty pushy trying to pressure the people in power to make decisions.

Kathy though, that bitch is fucking smart. She's pretty likable, and she's won comps. I'm sure she has a strategic head on her shoulders. She DEFINITELY has alliances somewhere in this house, and I'd really like to know where they are. I think soon in the game (probably early jury), it would be smart to take her out.

For now though, I've gotta focus on this week and worry about next week. Nick should be going home no matter what now regardless of what Howard does on the veto. He will probably take Liz off, which is an amazing thing for me, because it's gonna put heat on those two as a pair. I suspect that they both are pretty close, which makes me a bit wary of Liz. I think Liz has a lot of connections in this cast that she's not fully cluing me in on, and I'll have to keep my eye on her later on.

Next week, I'd really like to actually win HoH. We are nearing the end of the BOTB phase, and we're running out of people to nominate. A lot of people could potentially see their asses on the block next week, and I'd rather not be one of them. The only way to guarantee that is to win HoH...which means I can't be a fucking flop like I was in this last veto.

I'm in a pretty precarious position if I do win HoH. I risk showing a bit too much of my hand. Some of us know what happened the last time I was HoH in a game (right James ? ), and it didn't end very well for me. So hopefully we don't see a repeat of that if I do eventualy become HoH <3 but even if I do botch my HoH week, at least it'll probably guarantee me safety.
