GAME ON

Uh oh (:

Could've tried harder for that one, that's my own fault. Ended up only attempting it twice. It might be me/Raptor being nominated. Like I said earlier though, all I care about from about F6 on is winning Veto. Other people can win all the HoH's they want as long as I save myself with the Veto. The people in these last few HoH spots are gonna have to make some pretty tough decisions and probably enemies. FINE BY ME! Plus if I win HoH, I'm gonna be showing my hand big time going into this final stretch. If I can avoid doing that, I'd be set up pretty well for the last three rounds

Gonna talk to Patrick now and see what I can do

The only thing that I'm finding surprising is that Patrick feels comfortable with Bryce in F4. They must've made some sort of deal at some point. Bryce was just publicly yelling at Patrick two rounds ago, and now Patrick's finally in power and doesn't go for him? WEIRD!

Patrick PM'd both Bryce and I the same message about how we're the only two who deserve to win the game, and he said since he miserably failed to get us out with Vernon, he'd try to help us in these final weeks. I GUESS THAT WAS BULLSHIT HUH PAT!! It's far better for his game to cut Vernon now. No one will go for him in a F4 situation if Vernon isn't there

SILVER LINING! If Bryce wins Veto, Vernon goes home. Bryce uses veto on me (he fucking BETTER!) and then Pat is forced to put Vernon up. Both Bryce and I send Vernon out. That would be hilarious, Vernon dying at Patrick's hand

Am I gonna rely on BRYCE winning this veto though? FUCK NO!! Bryce has been absolutely terrible at competitions these past few weeks. Whenever he's needed to go to bat and get a win for us, he does awful. I don't know if he's throwing or just being unreliable. Either way, I'm going hard for veto. I don't care if Bryce winning could lead to Vernon going, it's not worth it to me. All I care about is winning for myself

If I won, then it'd be Bryce vs Raptor, my two allies. One has to go eventually!

Well this had to happen eventually. Bryce vs Raptor. Both my #1 allies ( (: ) and one is gonna have to leave. I would've liked this to happen in F3 to give me the more insurance but O WELL

The original play was really good. If Bryce had won veto, he could've taken me off and Patrick would've been forced to put up Vernon. Me/Bryce would've voted out Vernon. That would've been so hilarious and I don't think Vernon realizes he was in that much danger which makes it better

BUT that would've relied on two things

A: Bryce actually using the Veto on me if he won it

B: Bryce winning the Veto

I think he would've used it on me. Would've been QUITE the betrayal otherwise! But I also know he hasn't put all his eggs in my basket and has branched out to THE ENEMIES in case things went south for us so who knows what he might've done

The second part...I'm not so confident he could've won that veto. There was no way that I was gonna do bad on purpose with that one. Not at F5 with my life on the line. GOOD THING I DIDIN'T! Because Bryce PM'd me after the deadline and told me that he didn't have time for it really and did horrible or something. Why not tell me that earlier Bryce?!?!? If I threw it, and he did terrible and still lost and one of the other three won, I would've been UPSET!

So I'm very glad I won, even if it forced Bryce up there. I knew there was no way Patrick would put up Vernon over Bryce, even though I do actually think it would've been a good move for him and he'd be well set up in F4!


WHAT TO DO WHAT TO DO

Bryce vs Raptor. This is gonna be tricky. Either one will be pissed if I evict them. I think I know what I wanna do but I need to think it out for a bit

I think Vernon is gonna evict Bryce. Patrick told Bryce that he'll keep him in a TB, but I'm not sure how true that is. I promised both Bryce and Raptor that I'd vote to keep them (lol sorry to one of you)

SO, here's the possible scenarios:

1: Vernon evicts Bryce, I evict Raptor to tie it. Patrick is forced to choose between evicting Bryce or Raptor

1A: Patrick evicts Bryce in the TB. Bryce goes to Jury and is pissed at Patrick (and Vern). I kept my word to him. I tell Raptor that I voted to evict Bryce and that Vernon must've voted to evict him so that Raptor still works with me in the final stretch

1B: Patrick evicts Raptor in the TB. Bryce is still in the game and isn't mad at me because I evicted Raptor. CONS: Bryce would probably beat me in the finals if we make it there because he's got at least two auto-votes. Bryce has been worse at challenges than Raptor recently. Raptor goes to Jury but he hopefully thinks it was Vernon/Pat who evicted him and not me/Pat


OR!

2: Vernon evicts Bryce, I evict Bryce. Patrick doesn't have to do a TB. Bryce is pissed at me for life. Raptor is still on my side. Patrick doesn't have to get his hands dirty


I want Patrick to make this choice. I want both Raptor and Bryce to realize that my vote was meaningless here because whatever Pat/Vern decides will happen

I'm probably gonna go with the first option and evict Raptor, but I think he'd stay and Bryce would go. I'll just have to convince Raptor that I voted to evict Bryce and Vern voted against him. It'll just be my word against Vernon's which is pretty funny

DECISIONS DECISIONS!

Either way I don't care. Even if the other three in the F4 are against me, it makes no difference to me. I have to win two of the final three upcoming challenges in order to make the finals. I can't really depend on anyone other than myself at this point
