OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG LYDIOT STAYED!!!!
FREAKING OUT Y'ALL!!
Oh, did I do that? Yeah, I'm actually fucking STOKED that she stayed! She's a complete pawn and she's someone who will target people not named me. I didn't think she'd stay, but as I said, I'm very happy she stayed, especially by a 7-5 vote count, because I told everyone but Lydia I wasn't keeping her, so most people count me in that number, but in reality I did keep her. Everyone seems to believe me, although of course it's possible they're all lying, but they seem to be legit.
And on the other, less relevant note of eviction, Dan left 9-4, which surprised me, I thought Jen would leave. However, this was a pleasant surprise, as Dan is a major threat in challenges and a good manipulator, and Jen isn't. She isn't oblivious or anything, and she's a pretty solid player, but there are far bigger fish in the pond to fry than her, and she's someone who I KNOW if I make a deal with, I can take it to the bank.
So after eviction, Michelle approached me completely dumbfounded that her vote "tipped the scales" one way or another. Michelle is someone who seems to be very trustworthy, and also is not swimming in alliances already, so I took a chance on her and told her the truth--that I kept Lydia, too. This may bite me, but I don't want to be tied to the PFHMS, even though I named it, because I don't trust this group 100%.
I already kind of touched on this last week, but Aisleyne made herself a glaring target this week by coming after Lydia so hardcore, and I still believe she has some sort of agreement with Sophie, so I don't give her a ton of information that she can use, because I don't Sophie getting a read on me in the game.
James, on the other hand, is playing too hard too fast and doing a very, very poor job of hiding it. After he saw the eviction thread, he said he "badly wanted HoH even though it would put him in an awful position", claiming that everyone but Michelle and Dino have approached him for deals. This is all well and good, but I'm pretty sure HE, not the others, initiated most of those deals. I do think his loyalty is to PFHMS, but he's definitely well insulated by allies if the PFHMS falters.
On Brian's front, his stock rose significantly today, because he has similar views on James and Aisleyne and trusted me enough to open up to me about his concerns. He feels Aisleyne/Sophie have a deal(I'm 99.9% sure they do), and he feels James is spreading himself too thin and involved with them somehow(as do I), so I have reason to believe he trusts me a lot,since he divulged this to me, so if I had to pick someone right now whose safety is my #1 priority, it would be Brian's due to our mutual caution when it comes to our allies Aisleyne and James.
Also, James tonight, being the supergenius that he is, suggests that Brian and I offer Aaron a deal, since he's "In our boat" about Lydia, while he, James, and Aisleyne make one with Sophie, because he feels he can control Sophie's nominations...WRONG. No one, I repeat, no one can put a muzzle on Luis Reilly. Don't try to suffocate him, James, it'll be the end of you. And additionally, Aisleyne and Sophie ALREADY have a deal more than likely, so you're not exactly pulling out innovative new inventions out of that head of yours.
James also said to me that his targets if he were to win HoH would be Dino, Michelle, Lydia, and Jen, which annoys me, these are people I like. Brian also said he'd target Jen, so the only way Jen's really safe at all is if she wins HoH, and I honestly don't see that happening. I was real with Brian and told him I would keep Jen in the game if he were to nominate her.
And while all this drama is going on in PFHMS, I make a deal with Jen, but keep it to myself, tell Lydia to keep the fact I kept her to herself, and make a deal with Michelle. April and Ragan also seem to be an alliance of some sort, and they seem to really like me, so I will continue to be friendly with them. So, all in all, I may be deluded to think this, but on the surface, it looks like I'm in a pretty good position in the house right now, so hopefully things stay that way for awhile.
