DIARY ROOM

[Talla]

So the week is finally winging down... It seems like it's been a long week.  Ahh! 
And the drama just keeps continuing.  

The latest news that I wasn't pleased with was that Andrew informed me that there are rumors floating around that Dixie, Krystal, Suzette, and I are in an alliance.  What the hell are up with all of these rumors that love to associate me with people that I'm not even working with! :/  

First it was Liza and Suzette... Which I'm not aligned with them.  And now it's with Krystal, Suzette, and Dixie.  Ugh!  I'm not even a threat in this game yet, but people love to talk trash about me, it's really inappropriate and I can't wait to figure these fake people out.  While these rumors are still fresh on people's minds I'm going to try and exploit them and let them bond Dixie, Krystal, Suzette, and I together.  I will use any excuse I can to form social bonds with people... Because honestly, I need to make some more friends in the game.  

So, I decided to evict Brigitte because she's so fake! And... I love Suzette.  I'd be an idiot to vote her out.  She has saved me with the Veto, and she is making enemies left and right so she's painting a target on herself.  If I can keep doing the tango with Suzette and use her as a human shield; I'll definitely do that.  And I'm evicting Ryan, because Greg and I have started talking a lot the last two days and he seems like a really nice guy! Greg also told me the next time he wins HoH that I have nothing to worry about, while Ryan hasn't told me that.  So the decision has been rather easy this week.

Rory and I have an official alliance now! <3 I got all stupid, and offered him an official alliance with terms and conditions.  Haha.  He said that he really trusted me, and that he doesn't think I have a target on my back so that he would be more than willing to align with me.  So that's someone I can trust! Woot Woot.  I'm trying to make more friends, and I think I'm succeeding... But Big Brother is so fake! So I'm still going to twerk my best in the challenges.  

[Talla]

Well, well, well...

It was only a matter of time before my close connection with Suzette began to effect my game. I was just hoping that I could form individual relationships with enough people before they blindly tied Suzette and I together.

So Liza nominated the two of us (Suzette and I); and I'm screwed! Haha. Suzette is a stronger player with a good social game, and someone who I'm happy to be aligned with, but not happy to have to go head-to-head in trying to receive more votes. Lol.

My main goal now is to convince Liza that Suzette will stay if the nominees remain the same. So... Hopefully; Liza's rivalry with Suzette will be strong enough to combat her original nominations and she can use the Veto on me and put someone more likable up on the block.

[Talla]

This week has been crazy! Initially when Liza won the HoH, I was so scared because I knew that Suzette and I were going to be nominated.  *Tears Up*

Then of course, Liza won the Power of Veto and Suzette and I were screwed.  I then went to Liza and plead for her to use the Power of Veto on me! I argued that I wouldn't target her (Liza), that I would evict Suzette, and that I'm no threat to win this game whereas both Ryan/Suzette are.  Liza seemed very intrigued, and I was very hopeful that she would use the Power of Veto on me.  Then! Liza used the Power of Veto on me, and used Ryan as a replacement.    

I planned to honor my side of the deal with Liza by evicting Suzette, because I thought Suzette would have enough votes to stay in the game.  But after I did some campaigning for Suzette... I realized that the vote was going to be closer than I originally anticipated.  I then had an internal debate with myself whether or not to play this game with morals, or to play this game as a cutthroat player.  After a short internal debate with myself over the conflict, I decided to play the game cutthroat and be ferociously loyal to Suzette.  

After talking to everyone in the game I really thought that Suzette was going to stay in the game.  Andrew, Rory, Dixie, and I were all planning on voting out Ryan from my knowledge... And then eviction results came out, and I was blindsided.  I believe that Rory and I were the only people that voted to evict Ryan.  *Tears Up*

Now that I don't have Suzette in the game with me anymore, I've lied to Liza about our deal, and I was lied to about this vote by two people I definitely need to step up my game and play a much more competitive game.  

It's time for a new Talla to be born, and for me to do some ass kicking! <3 

[Talla]

Andrew won the HoH! Andrew won the HoH! Andrew won the HoH!

I'm so happy about this.  The only other person I would have wanted to win this challenge more was Dixie.  I really believe that Dixie would have targeted Liza, whereas Andrew will not.  

I feel very confident about my safety this week, so I'm going to try to socialize with some of the people who I have not been lately [Ryan, Stella, Liza].  I knew from last week that Andrew wasn't very pleased with AJ due to his abrasive personality and obsessiveness over Suzette being evicted.  So; I took the opportunity to pitch AJ's name to Andrew as soon as he won HoH (literally 3 seconds after it was posted).  Luckily Andrew already was thinking of targeting AJ this week and so my recommendation only supported his feelings.  I danced around the fact that I believe Liza would save AJ with the Veto if she won in attempts that he would nominate Liza as well but he didn't seem to want to upset two strong players.  *Pouts*  As I'm confident with my safety this week, I didn't want to push my agenda too hard... After all; I'm stoked that AJ is the target.  

My week of socialization begins! I'm going to try and use Suzette's eviction to my advantage by letting people know that I have no one... And I'm just looking for a home, and an ally.  Little Orphan Talla! <3 

[Talla]

Well; my week of socializing with people that I rarely talk with has been a fail.  Lol.  That was my main goal this week... But it's really hard for me to connect with Ryan, Stella, and Liza.  They seem fake when I talk to them, and it's just been difficult.  I've had a busy week in the real world as well, which didn't make things easier.  

I've been talking with Andrew, Rory, and Dixie a lot though.  And honestly; those are the only three people who I care about.  

So... Ryan won the Power of Veto this week, and I'm hoping that he uses it.    

I want him to save Rory, because I love Rory... But also because I think it's a good chance that Andrew will use Liza as the replacement nominee.  If Liza is the replacement nominee, that will be amazing!  I would evict Liza in a heartbeat.  *Cheers*  

Liza has nominated me twice, and I'm so not a fan of her being in this game... She's a challenge threat, and she's hard to talk to.  And then it'd be perfect if I won HoH next week and then I would nominate Stella and Ryan.  *Cheers*  I hope everything works out.  

[Talla]

I forgot to mention! 

Since I've been bonding (sucking up) to Andrew all week... We got bored of just talking about the game and we had some dress-up time!  Andrew was such a great sport about the whole thing. 

[Talla]

Peace out Liza! 

I don't miss Liza at all... But I definitely think that she was a great player and respected her game.  

My girl Dixie won HoH! Woot, woot, woot! <3 

I'm so happy that my allies have been doing well lately... Andrew and Dixie have been rocking it these past two HoH's and that's good for me.  Hahaha! 

Even though I'm itching to make some bold moves in the game... I know that this game is a marathon, and not a sprint.  So I'm definitely laying low and trying to gather as much information as possible, gain as many social connections as possible and strike when it's needed! Sorry Dixie, and Andrew for letting you keep me safe and get the blood on your hands, but I'm playing this game to win! <3 <3 Ahh!

So my lady friend Dixie won HoH this week, and I was so happy.  But I was really hoping that she would have nominated Ryan! Ugh... I can't stand him.  Unfortunately, she nominated Rory (who I'm aligned with).    I secretly hope that Rory wins the Veto because at this moment in time, I don't think that he'll stay over AJ.    Just in case, I'm trying to befriend AJ more this week in case AJ survives.  I want to tame AJ and have him go after people that have nominated him... Not me.  Lol

[Talla]

I'm so sad that Rory was evicted.  ;(
I knew that it was coming... But it was still sad nonetheless.  I didn't hide the fact that I was evicting AJ to anyone.  However; Andrew told me the other day that AJ thinks I saved him during the vote.  Lol.  I obviously didn't save AJ, but I'm fine letting him think that.  Haha

Bye Rory! You'll be missed.  Love you!

[Talla]

I'm the new HoH!  Ahhh...

I'm so stoked.    I've been trying to win most of the challenges for a while now, and have been coming up short.  Finally!

So I instantly got to work because I had to make the most out of this HoH win.  <3

I went to Andrew, AJ, and Estelle and formed a four person "voting block" with myself.  

I chose Andrew because I fully trust him, and he's good at competitions.  I chose Estelle because Andrew trusts her, and she's been fairing well at competitions.  I also want to seem like I'm Andrew's puppet so that Andrew fully trusts me, and so that he thinks he has me on puppet strings.  And I chose AJ to bring him closer because he's a good social player, and he's close with Estelle.  

I formed this alliance to ensure that I'm in the majority next week in the event that I'm nominated, and to ensure that who I want evicted is evicted because of the majority "voting block".  

Dixie was safe this week because she has a good chance of winning the HoH in the future, and I don't want to make her mad unless I know I have her nail in the coffin.  Plus, I love her.  I think she could be a secret weapon I could utilize down the road.  

I nominated Ryan/Krystal because I really didn't have any other options due to my new alliance and my love for Dixie.  I had to deflect my nomination decision onto other people... So I told the house that I've heard that Ryan/Krystal are close.  This is my personal theory, and Andrew and Dixie have agreed and even "confirmed" this theory but no one ran to me with this information as I made it seem.  When Ryan/Krystal came to me upset about the nominations... I deflected and made it seem like I'm scared and wanted a secure relationship out of the house.  This strategy made me seem weak, made me seem like a puppet, and deflected some blame onto others.  Without using names, I tried to hint that it was Andrew/Dixie that told me they were close.  I wanted to hint that Andrew/Dixie were close because they're the biggest competition threats in my opinion.. And if one of them leave, it would put me in a better position to win competitions.  

[Talla]

*Cries*

I'm so upset that Ryan won the Veto.  I wanted him evicted so badly this week... Ahh!  And he only beat me by 35 seconds; seriously??!!

So I instantly had to get to work because one of my nominees won the Veto.  I already had a plan in my mind in case this disaster took place.  Ugh!  

The four person alliance I established earlier this week (Estelle, Andrew, AJ, Talla) needed to come through and help me out.  I wanted to nominate Estelle and have Andrew and AJ back me up with the votes.  Estelle was perfect, because I'm aligned with her so it doesn't create an enemy and she was a sure bet that she wasn't going home against Krystal.  Also, if for whatever reason she did go home, she's not super valuable to my game which would be fine if she was evicted.  

This shows Dixie, Andrew, and AJ that I'm trying my best to be loyal to them... And they have to be repay the favor!  It also shows Ryan that I'm close with Dixie/Andrew which gives him even more of a hint that one (or both) of them were the people to tell me that Krystal/Ryan were close.  

Luckily, everything went according to plan and Krystal was evicted.  

Although Krystal wasn't my biggest target this week, I still believe that she was a social threat and was someone that could have easily slipped through the cracks for a few more weeks.  Her eviction also highlighted Ryan as a target (I hope), and this week allowed me to make a power move and form an alliance and show Dixie that I have mad love for her.  

[Talla]

Dear House Calls,
You never talk to me anymore... And it makes me sad.

[Colby]

Hi there!

[Talla]

Just to clarify for y'all...

You're probably wondering why I decided to pick a fight with Krystal during the eviction ceremony, and Krystal almost nailed it on the head.

I'm worried that in the weeks coming up that I could be a target.  It's the final six and I've proven this week that I can win a challenge, and almost win a challenge.  Haha.  So I could definitely see myself being a target and that's scary.  So... I needed a life vest (not because I'm a floater), and my vest is now that I can argue that the jury doesn't like me so that I'm not the biggest threat to take if I find myself nominated.

Liza and I never got along, and I lied to her about the Suzette vote.

Rory and I are fine.  

And now, Krystal seemingly doesn't like me either.  

I know it's a very risky strategy, but I'm trying to make myself seem non-threatening.  Everyone in the house better be fighting to take me to the final two! Haha

[Talla]

Hi Colby,

Sorry I aided in your friend's, Kystal's, eviction.  :/  

How are you doing?!

[Colby]

I'm doing great! Drinking an iced coffee
