Andrew won HoH!

*Dances Around*

I think this is the best scenario for me.    I'm safe this week (I think).  

Although Ryan isn't the target, which I would have liked... I'm still so stoked that I should be a part of the final five.

It saddens me that Dixie and AJ are nominated because I like both of them... But there's always the Veto.

I hated the Veto this week.  It was seriously the most frustrating challenge I've ever competed in... *Screams*

I was going insane.  

My 2nd least favorite person in the house, Estelle, won the Power of Veto and I was livid.  Grr!  I wanted the Veto so badly because even though I'm close with Andrew... You can't trust anyone this late into the game.

To my surprise, Estelle used the veto and I was shocked and scared.  

Immediately I ran to Andrew to try and ensure my safety this week.  

After talking to Andrew, I still feel very vulnerable with my position in the game... And I'm worried.  I'm hoping for the best!! 

[Talla]

Well, well, well... We've been exposed.  

I'm sure that people knew how close Andrew and I were prior to this round, but it's definitely been leaked to the house now.  If people didn't know by the end of the Veto Ceremony; Ryan has definitely been running his mouth and he loves to tell everyone that Andrew and I are a pair.  *Rolls Eyes*

Now that there's a large target on Andrew and I... I really need to win HoH next week.  I have a 25% chance in doing so, and I really hope that I can pull this one off!  Ahh!  I need it.  <3  If Andrew and I are in the final four together, I think we have a good shot at making it to the finale... The hard part will be next week.  

I really think that people have underestimated my relationships in this game, and it's worked to my advantage.  I just need to try and get Estelle out next week and I would consider it a successful week.  *Claps*  I've been wanting to get in a fight with Ryan while he's running his mouth... But his likely eviction will suffice my desire to bury him further.  Plus; I don't want to run the possible risk that I could somehow become a bigger target than Andrew.  

In the coming week; even if Dixie, Stella, or AJ win the HoH... I feel like I should be safe if Andrew and I are nominated together because he is better at challenges than I am and has a better chance at taking them out.  Aligning with strong physical players has been part of my strategy all along, as seen with Dixie, Andrew, and Suzette.  It's the best of both worlds because they keep you safe when they are wining, and they keep you safe if you are nominated against them because they are more intimidating.  

[Talla]

Ryan has officially been evicted from the house! Am I dreaming?

I've seriously been trying to get Ryan out of the house since the game merged Australians and Canadians together, and he is now finally gone.  I'm so stoked!  I hated him so much; not because of anything personal... But because I knew he was a great player, and he's gone.  Yay!

I can't wait to start dancing on his grave.  

Now that I've made it to the final five... My strategy has switched a little as to which of the remaining house guests I can beat in the final two.  I'm really quite unsure who I can beat, so I just need to focus on getting there with anyone at this point.  Gah!  

Talla's Thoughts On The Remaining Players

Andrew ~ I adore Andrew.  If I lived closer to him in real life, I believe that we would be great friends, real life allies, and future lovers! Andrew has proven to me time after time that I can trust him, and that he plans on staying loyal to me throughout the game.  And although Andrew will be a tough person to beat in the final two due to his physical capabilities... He has aided in sending home everyone on the jury, so I'm hoping for a bitter jury.  I'd love to sit next to Andrew in the final two because I think I "might" have a chance at beating him, and then it'd be awesome to make it to the finale with my #1 ally.

Dixie ~ She's pretty amazing.  I really like her, but I'm unsure of where her head is at in the game... And I'm not sure who she plans on taking to the final two with her.  She's a really nice house guest, and I definitely think she has a lot of fight in her.  I believe that she is well liked by the jury, and has only had a big part in sending home Rory (which I feel confident I could get Rory's vote against anyone).  

Stella ~ This girl is a big wild card.  I enjoy talking with her, and she's super normal... Unlike most of the people who have played this game.  *Rolls Eyes*  I worry that she has been underplaying in all of the challenges, and that these last few weeks she is going to be a beast and very tough to get out of the game.  Even though I love Stella as a person, she intimidates me as a player.  

AJ ~ Oh my goodness.  AJ is a very nice guy, and I believe he is well intentioned... But damn, he is boring and really quite clueless.  I feel bad for the guy, because he thinks he is playing a great game... But he's playing a game similar to Adam Poch, and Sheila Kennedy.  I hate his gameplay, but I'm not about to waste an HoH evicting him.  

[Talla]

Oh my god! 

AJ is seriously so boring.  *Yawns*

So AJ tried to tell me that people are either 99% straight, or 99% gay... And that he doesn't believe in Bisexuality, Omnisexuality, Pansexuality, Hetero-Flexibility, Open Relationships, or Closed-Loop Relationships.  Someone is an ignorant, judgmental, and naive player... Not that I didn't know that from his lack of knowledge in regards to how to play Big brother.  

But anyways! So he can dish out his judgmental views, which were offensive because I do not fall into the Gay or Straight category.  But back to his views... He has no problem sharing his very ignorant views with me, and then I ask him a question about anal sex.  

In typical AJ fashion, he acted confused... And for a moment, I thought I was going to have to spell out what anal penetration/play included, but to my surprise he needed no explanation and answered.  His answer: "I'd like to keep my sex life between my girlfriend and I".  WTF?!

So... AJ has no issue being open about his judgmental views on sexual orientation, and relationships... But as soon as the tables are turned in a very classy and educational manner, he pleads the fifth!!??  I seriously can't stand him.  OMG!  I know it's bad game play, because someone on their death bed could probably beat him... But I want him out next!!

^that vine I mentioned last week

[Talla]

Lmao! Were those people random? Haha
I think she's a future Big Brother star.  

[Talla]

Ahh! I'm so nervous.

Damn Veto! I was so close to winning... Grr!

I'm fighting for my life this week, and I'm doing so as hard as I can. I'm sending very poetic, and powerful messages to AJ and Dixie and trying to get them to implore all of their options and ultimately save me.

It's not looking good... But I'm fighting as hard as I possibly can, and I will not give up until the results are posted. Haha

Dixie,

So... Can you save me with your vote?"

Dixie,

Please consider throwing me a vote, and talking to AJ. Last I heard from AJ, he was leaning towards evicting Andrew... And I really don't think he is lying. 

If Andrew stays in this game it will prove to the jury that not only is he a great physical player, but he is also a savvy social, mental, and strategic player as well. And; with Andrew's evicting it exponentially increases your chances of winning the next HoH's and the Veto because a physical threat is gone, and you don't have to compete against him. 

Not to mention; Stella and Andrew are working together (I believe). This is part of the reason why Stella was brought into the four-person-alliance when I was HoH because Andrew really pushed for it. I was never close with Stella, but yet between the two of them they not only tried to get me to nominate you instead of Stella, as the replacement, but they convinced me to keep Stella instead of Krystal if it were to tie. They are working together! They are both physical threats! And... They are strategically savvy. Stella has no more power this week, so if my eviction has anything to do with Stella's doing... I implore you to consider all of your options and rebel! 

Dixie, I've loved you from the beginning of the game and have fought rigorously to keep you safe if I've ever heard your name in a dangerous position. I promise you that my survival this week will benefit you! I promise you that with my heart, my body, my soul... My everything! Please Dixie, this game means so much to me... And I can only hope that I can stay and fight for one more week.

Plea To AJ

"Aug 23, 2013 15:54:41 GMT -7 Talla said:

Dear AJ,

So... Now that it is do or die; I feel like I need to come clean with you about the drama that occurred on the boards this week between you and I.

I'm desperate to get into All-Stars, like legitimately desperate! I have an unhealthy desire to get into the All-Star season of any series I play. I just get so caught up with the rigor and the competition of it all, and it's seriously an amazing adrenaline rush. So... That leads me to the drama on the boards. I don't feel like I've been playing the best game this season, and I'm worried that I will not make it into All-Stars, so I decided to pump up my antics on the boards this week to boost any chance I have to get into All-Stars. 

So, in order to boost my entertainment value I decided to pick a fight with you. I chose you because you seem to be the most open-minded person in the game, and someone that can forgive and move on with the game... And I didn't want to pick on anyone that was going to hold it over my head for the rest of the game. I apologize for picking on you, and making you look like a bigot, and unkind... I really am sorry. I'm never a fan of making someone feel less than perfect in these games, because it's a silly online game. Plus; I've been on the receiving end of hateful things said to/about me and it's not fun. So I wanted the opportunity to apologize.

Now that the public antics were addressed, I'd like to plead to you for a vote this week. A vote for Andrew to be evicted, obviously. Haha. 

Not only do I have a desire to stay in the game for personal reasons, similar to all of us... But I also genuinely believe that my survival this week will benefit you in this game. 

You are not my target next week, or the week after that! I've already expressed to you last week, and for a few weeks now that I have a strong desire to sit next to you in the final two. You're a good guy, someone I've known for years, and someone who has played a fair game. 

I don't hold any past games against you, and don't want you out... And have not wanted you out. Andrew has been trying to tarnish your name and telling others about how untrustworthy you were in Big Brother: Warzone, and he has nominated you and targeted you several times. I have not only defended you sometimes, but have fought to keep you safe multiple times throughout this game. 

I also am not near the physical competitor that Andrew is. Keeping Andrew in the game will prove to the jury that he not only has a physical game (which they admire), but he also has a good strategical, mental, and social game as well. Evicting Andrew also boosts your chances during the next HoH's and Veto exponentially because a big physical threat will be out of the game. 

AJ, I really hope you consider my plea! I'm passionate about this game, and I would be so appreciative if I received your vote to stay. I hope you consider keeping me in this game!

- Talla "

[Talla]

Well, well, well... It looks like it may be the end of the road for me!  It's been fun!  But like I said before, I'm not going to give up... Ever!!

I have a lot of passion, and dedication left... And I'm going to expend all of it if I have to.
