Alright I think I locked down Talla.
AJ/Brigitte/Estelle/Talla + most likely Krystal. That SHOULD be enough to stay, especially considering I could end up getting a few more unexpected votes.
I committed a lot to Talla, she played her cards well. First of all, if she wasn't actually uninformed of the plan in advance than BRAVO, WELL PLAYED. I was duped if that was the case. Anyways, I intend to actually be a lot more loyal to her than I initially thought I would be. I got a good vibe from her and she wants to work with me as a duo and I know Ive committed to AJ and Brigitte already, but Talla is an option as well. She seems laid back and rational.
I want Canada to win the next few comps. We *need* to! I like the remaining Canadians and I want a majority of our team to make it to the point when the twist ends.

Yay, that's perfect since I LURVE to post a lot ^_^.
Anyways, I feel a lot better this morning than I did last night. First of all, I don't think that I am REALLY in jeopardy - I think I misread the situation. There was no grand scheme between Suzette/Talla/Alec to evict me. Alec is pissed, and Suzette sent me a PM after I went to bed pretty much saying that she was sorry and she thought AJ would be the replacement nominee, not me. She was afraid Alec would stay (fair enough, there was a chance he could have). Talla said she was totally surprised to be vetoed by Suzette.
Being put on the block may have actually been a good thing for me if I survive. I think I really solidified a few bonds that were loose (Talla especially). The thing is, in my own house I am overconnected - and that might become clear to others if we don't win immunity next week. I really need us to win. But the thing is, if we do win than I do not want to be the HoH again - it's annoying that you can't try for immunity but throw HoH.
These first two weeks have been a little bit of a rollercoaster for me. Winning an HoH and the following week being a post-veto nominee. Sounds like the start of an intense game - on the good side, I feel like I was able to use these two circumstances to secure some of the social connections I will need down the line.

WEEK 3
THE HOUSES MERGED! YAY!
My house was getting decimated so this is awesome! YAY NEW POTENTIAL TARGETS! I feel like the Canadians have trimmed their fat (no offense Alec ILY) and now it's time for the Aussies to. We have that opportunity since I think that the remaining Canadians are a lot more socially savvy than some of the Australians, and immunity won't be a thing anymore. We just need to win or out-wit the Aussies. Though who knows? Maybe the Aussies will win and want to Pagong us and Ill be all 'FML LIFE SUCKS'!
I am hoping to eliminate Ryan and Rory. I don't hate either of them but I find Ryan really hard to talk to. Like sometimes we talk and Im like 'Hi'. And he's like 'Hi'... And thats the whole conversation... -_-. Like I know its not me cuz that ONLY happens with him. And you have to understand that its not that I intentionally stop talking to him but he's so boring that I just don't have anything to say so I forget about it entirely. And I initiate conversation cuz I want to be a good player but then I remember I dont care so it gets all awkward when neither of us says anything.
Rory I thought I was good with and then I was on the block and he was all 'Imma need 24 hours to decide if I will give you my vote' and Im all like 'take your time i understand' but really what i wanted to say was more along the lines of 'well you could have at least false promised me that you would keep me'. Like if you aren't going to keep me I would prefer that you just tell me up front and if that isn't possible than I can maybe even respect a bold faced lie. But to just leave me hanging? Lame buddy. Man up!

I MIGHT be over Brigitte. She was kinda a bitch to me tonight, although I am sure she sees it differently.
I kinda did snap on her when she accused me of being in an alliance I wasn't in. Then she stopped talking to me completely. But truth be told I am NOT in some sort of big alliance so it was insulting that she said that. Anyways, as long as she didn't do anything stupid I will be good with her. Still, it pisses me off that I am telling her all this shit and she doesn't trust me.

1. I feel closest to Brigitte. Her and I have a level of communication that I don't really uphold with anyone else. AJ is the other person vying for the title. I will fight *hard* for both of them to stay in the game. The only other person that I really feel close to on a personal level is Krystal. There are a bunch of other people that I like, but not really anyone that I am as close to as these three.
2. This is an interesting question. I have a lot of trust in people's intentions but I think that there are some sloppy players in this game so there are not any that I am trusting with 100% of my game info. So I guess the houseguest I trust the most is myself? I don't think Brigitte is as subtle as she thinks she is, and I don't think AJ will defer to my judgments. The person who I would most trust to keep someone quiet is actually Talla because she is very good at exercising discretion. However, I'm not sure I am her #1 so I can't trust her with that kind of information at the moment. Krystal is also another person I trust a lot.
3. Well this is funny because I *am* HoH. I am planning on going after Ryan/Greg for now. I was already planning on eliminating Aussie guys, and its perfect that I can eliminate two in the same week! I like them both somewhat but they are both threatening presences to me in this game.

Can't decide if I love or hate this twist!
Love almost being guaranteed jury now. Hate that it will be really hard to keep my allies safe without disclosing too much to AJ. I guess that ultimately its a good thing for me. I can get rid of two players that I was looking to eliminate with just one HoH win. But if my targets win the veto I am not in nearly as good of a spot because I may have to eliminate an ally.
Still, being immune in a double eviction week is all kinds of amazing!

Also, some people in this game have still not talked to everyone yet. I dont get why? Like this is BB you should be a ~fabulous~ ~social~ ~player~ if you want to win!

AJ is actually much more frustrating to work with than I anticipated. He is for some reason worried about a girls alliance taking out the guys? I just don't see that happening, but he is fixated on it. I made it clear though that Ryan/Greg should go up.
