I won HoH, which was disappointing because I was actually planning to throw it hoping that someone else would win it and take out Sophie. When I won it came down to whether or not I thought I should still take her out and isolate my connection with her and Aisleyne, or leave them there and hope she was loyal and we could dominate end-game competitions.
I decided to put her on the block. I think it will improve my jury perception taking out two big threats in James and Sophie. I also plan on bringing Michelle to the final two if I can and possibly going to the final four with April and Atrocious? I'm close to April and Michelle and think that I can beat Atrocious. So, that's my goal at this point.

When this round started off, it was announced that Saggy couldn't compete in HoH because she hadn't done her penalty posting, and she had the have-not disadvantage for veto. With Sophie not eligible to compete in HoH and veto, this meant that she was incredibly vulnerable during the round. The round prior, I had pledged loyalty to her in order to keep her from nominating me, so my goal was to hope that Aaron, April, or Michele won HoH because I felt relatively safe and sure that Sophie would go. I felt that Atrocious would nominate me beside Sophie but that Sophie would still go as well. I monitored post count and was going to drop before I reached April and Atrocious, who were in the lead, and then my Internet crashed and eliminated me anyway. Unfortunately, despite not even posting as long as April or Atrocious, I won HoH because they made mistakes prior.
The question became, should I nominate Sophie and maintain my connection with her and Saggy. This would pretty much force myself into a final three situation with the two of them since I'd be showing that I was with them and against everyone else. Sophie was mad that Saggy, who had become sick, was ineligible for HoH due to failing to complete her punishments the previous round and started throwing Saggy under the bus to me. I showed this to Saggy in an attempt to get her against Sophie so she'd understand my move, but she still didn't want me to put Sophie on the block and wanted Aaron/Atrocious there instead. When it came down to it, I felt like I was forced to side with the newbies and strengthen my connections with Aaron, April, and Michele by putting Sophie onto the block. This would take out a huge challenge competitor and earn me favor in the eyes of the jury. The problem? It would isolate Saggy from me, so after this point, I felt like we'd be going to war.
I announced Sophie as a nominee and figured that she'd be going home since she couldn't compete in veto, and Saggy had a have-not disadvantage and couldn't save them both. What shocked me was that Sophie then quit and gave up a spot on the jury and a potential all-star position. I was disappointed in her because she could have found SOME way to stay. I felt a little bad for nominating her and taking away her hope, but I still felt like the way she chose to go out was disappointing. But the game moves on.
