Sorry for the delay work is kicking my ass, but anyways..............
So Alex left in the previous eviction vote and I couldnt have been more happy. Me and Brittany attacked the divided house separately and turned what shouldve been a close vote into a landslide eviction. More of the story is if you are threatening in my mind, obnoxious, and seem shady you can expect me to come after you. This is James 2.0 Im not waiting for the game to come to me Im take the gaming to them.
Onward we march into round 3. Before the end of round 2 Jiggle came to me wanting to form some kind of solid alliance. He asked if we should keep as just me ad him for now or make it bigger. Asking what his suggestions were for who he might want in a bigger alliance he mentioned brant and Brittany. I said we should keep as us 2 and possibly grow it to 4 maybe we each bring in one person soon. My idea was to consolidate some of my one on one alliances down to a solid 4 person. I immediately wanted Zooey and Brittany in this so I came back to Jiggle later and told him Zooey was comfortable with brittany and maybe that should be our 4. I handpicked a 4 person alliance that someone originally brought to me as their idea.
My idea from the start of the game was hit up a few people from the get go and make those alliances with me pushing the envelope but never anything too big. Then as those relationships flourished and flopped and people inevitably came to me they would think they were in charge because they came to me to make the deal rather than vice versa. This strategy has let me have a complete pulse on the house and able to weed out those I do not like or are threatening to me and creating a hierarchy within my inner circle.
During the HoH I thought I had no chance to win but was surprised to see myself running near the top the whole way. As it seemed destined me and Shay would be top 2 I struck a deal with her to keep each other safe as I never planned on nominating her anyways as I am not wasting my time on people who I dont think can win the entire game at this point.
Sure enough I bombed out on the tiebreaker which seems to be my Starz legacy to this point and Shay won. Ideally I had been planning to nominate Jennifer and Tom but I was not about to push anything onto Shay as I knew I was safe an with my plethora of alliances losing 1 person would not be a fatal blow. Having this many connections could get me into trouble but its a risk Im willing to take and means I never really have to campaign for anyone as I always have someone to step in and replace them.
Before Shay could make her nominations Jennifer decided to remove herself from the game which she happened to be an ally but it was no sweat and one less person I had to beat. This made Shay's decision harder but she ended up nominating Tom(SCORE! another week with a James target not nominated by James) and Jiggle. Now seeing Jiggle up there was a slight shock and having just made a deal with a little disappointing. After talking to Shay I learned Jiggle had pissed her off and realized my chances of keeping him were going to be tough as it would piss off Shay in the process.
Me and Brittany pow wowed and decided we would not use veto on Jiggle and would possibly try to keep him in the vote but would replace him if needJiggle. This information was passed onto Zooey before the POV. And zooey talked about cutting off anyone Hilarie was close to giving her no other option than myself and Zooey. I seem to be rubbing off on Zooey which may be dangerous down the line and I need keep my eye on her.
The POV was dominated by Zooey, Brittany, and myself with help from Hal on my end. We were controlling where possibly useful items ended up and who would ultimately win. Zooey as put in position to win and Brittany racked up extra votes. The plan is to not use the veto but save Jiggle with those extra votes which he has been informed of and is ok with staying on the block. Tom called me an Asshole having used a -2 on him during the challenge which makes my decision to get rid of him all that easier. Joke or not Tom should be more aware of how the cards are falling and see that every person Ive waned out has went home. But then again Ive played very close to my vest only revealing bits and pieces to people with Brittany being the lone exception. Even then she doesnt know the complete inner workings.
So this round should go as follows: Tom leaving, Brittany getting something useful and sharing with me, Badger stealing Brant's apple pov wish and sharing with me whats in it, and keeping our fearsome foursome intact so we have 4/10 competing in the next HoH or if an Ashes player returns 4/11 which still puts us in a pretty damn good position and if you multiply those odds out for me solely anyone that wins the nxt HoH will keep me safe and I will most likely be having heavy input in whoever is nominatJiggle.
