Week 3: Comps are hard

[Johnny Mac]

HOH: Lol oops

No but seriously fuck man. I went out the night it went up and ended up completely forgetting about it until the next night. I've got no problem admitting that my social game has sucked this round. I only got on the night of eviction and then when HOH expired and now tonight.

Nominations: Godfrey....

SPOILER: Click to show

I'm feeling alright though. Godfrey made it out like it was between me and Charlotte and me being gone just didn't help my case so eh. I don't think he's working actively against me nor do I think anyone has a reason to besides my botched HOH.

Overall I think I can muster up 6 votes fairly easily compared to Sara: Audrey, Jackie, Vanessa, Aisha, Zach, Penny?, Michael?. I left out Charlotte because I could definitely see her voting for her fellow Brit. Either way I don't plan on staying here because....

I've got a veto to win baby!

I'm hyped for this veto because I don't see anyone trying super hard except for me and Sara and I think I can beat her whatever it is. I might be a shit BB player but I have some ORG comp experience under my belt, she seems to be pretty new.


I don't plan on leaving just yet ladies and gentlemen. Your noob g.od is here to stay and will get feisty if he has to.

Well...the maze was ok. I don't really have anyone to compare to but it was a tougher maze so it took like 7 minutes. I'm not very confident I'll get the veto and I wouldn't really expect a winner to use it on me. Right now I'm definitely gonna focus in tonight on securing my six (and a few more for good measure) just so I can survive this week and move on.

Last night was surprisingly ok, I got to hang out with a bunch of people including Zach, Jackie, Michael, and Godfrey. I talked before about wanting to rope Michael back in and I think last night definitely helped.

Also, what the hell is this prom stuff? I don't get it but I'm just gonna go along with it because some people apparently think it's funny.

You bet your ass JMac is bringing it!

Veto: Well that was hard as hell. Turns out I had a good time but I just rushed too much and hit the sides so that sucks. Godfrey won and would be stupid to take either of us off the block and upset another nomination. I think the ground work I've layed should pay off here.

Eviction votes: Right now I know I've got the 3 additional USA's behind me and I only need 6 votes to stick around. Michael is telling me that he's looking to keep me around and Penny is following suit. I think if I (and Michael, Penny, and Jackie) can go to Aisha then she'll definitely follow her cliquemates and be the 6th deciding vote.

I'm feeling solid if that's the case right now. Either way, I plan on going to Charlotte and my boy Zach to see what they're thinking. If Zach is sticking to our alliance then I think he'd definitely vote for me too but I'd rather not advertise that to the people who I'm campaigning for votes.

Jackie, who I'll get to later, tells me that she could probably get Pilar to vote for me. This is great because I planned to go to her anyway. Godfrey is nervous about Sara because of her nomination bitterness so if Canada is close at all I'm sure I'd have a couple good spokesmen in Zach and Godfrey.

I'm not expecting Kevin or Adam's votes because, like I said in my cast assessment, we're just NOT on the same wavelength for some reason. I might luck into Kevin's vote because the rest of Canada should be favoring me though.

Jackie: Honestly she's been awesome through this whole process. Not that I haven't been up to the same things myself, but she's been feeding me info on people and what they're looking for at the vote so I can adjust my pitches accordingly. She's definitely one of the few people here actively trying to push votes and the house seems to be conceding to it.

Pace of play: The house in general seems very passive right now. One or two people campaigning can sway the whole house it seems since no one wants to get left behind (been there, done that). Between her and a couple of my other allies, I think I could have some good opinions of me coming into this vote and should be able survive.

Eviction:

I like to think I was the better choice to keep around (according to the criteria we've used so far) but either way I think I handled the block just about as well as you could. I didn't really make any additional enemies and kept my cool. Also, I was able to better realize who my real allies were, by who was pushing for me behind the scenes.

Jackie was a huge help this week especially. The Australians in general were good to me and Zach/Pilar were too. Adam and Charlotte are pretty cold in general and Audrey clearly wanted to keep her hands off this eviction and seemingly didn't want to be involved. Kevin is nowhere to be found and was likely the 1 vote.

I don't really care enough about the vote to make an Aisha-esque stink about it. All that'd do is make me additional enemies and make people scared of unnecessary backlash. I'm just playing it cool with everyone, even when they're trying to incite me and get me to search for the vote. Who cares? It's not worth the time.

Alliances: 

By the end of this week I've solidified some alliances with people that I'm pretty happy about. These all didn't necessarily happen this week but they're happening so I figured I'd give an updated list as to the people I've verbally committed to an official alliance with. This isn't a group, this is just a list of individuals:
Jackie
Audrey-definitely don't trust her though
Vanessa
Pilar
Zach
Michael

People who I can probably count out being close to at this point:
Adam-One of the few pro-Sara people and we never really talk
Kevin-never online, never talks to me
Godfrey-depends, he seemed a little nervous talking to me. I'll try to keep things cool with us
