Round 6 Confessional [Untitled]

[Jiggle Jugs]

Well that didn't go as planned, but probably the next best option happened - Brittany won!

This is great because I feel really safe with Brittany as HOH. I messaged her congrats because I saw it as I was refreshing, and she was like, "Oh, I wanted to be the first to tell you." That's great because I don't think that's a very common lie to tell someone. I really don't see myself going up at all this week, which is great. It's always nice to have strong allies!

Outside of my alliance, my only ally is Hilarie. I guess Hal too but I intend on turning on him at any point now. Sorry bud, but you're the biggest threat to the alliance! Anyway, as long as Hilarie isn't the target this week (watch it happen) I'll be fine.

Also, some interesting news from Hal... apparently there is a special POV available at the Ashes. I'm sure that one acquires it by coming back into the game, but I could be wrong! Anyway, I need to keep my eye out for that DPOV now. It'll be coming very very soon if it isn't already out, but I am anticipating it coming soon because the last time you can use them is like the final 6 or 7. Either way, it has to come soon, and I'll be ready for it when it does. I'm assuming that:

HOH 2- Bronze POV- Kristen
Return from Ashes- Steel POV- Whoever wins that
Marcia the Moose- Gold POV- Whoever won that
DPOV- somewhere

So yeah, I really need to be watching for that. Honestly, it could already be out if Amy got an Ashes prize on her way out the door. Marcia the Moose was a pretty intense competition, so I wouldn't be surprised if the DPOV was in there. But even then, the person who won it can't talk about it, so that sucks.

Right now, I'm doing a combination of feeling out/supporting Brittany in her HOH win. I gotta see what she's going to do.

Jiggle's Player Ranking

1. Zooey

As much as it pains me to put this girl above Brittany, who was my first ally in the house... I have to do it. As of right now in this alliance, she is the only person I feel I can beat. Plus, I formed a strong alliance with her the other day, and I really think she's loyal. Right now, she's the person I'm taking to the end. Butttttt...

2. Brittany

I love this girl! She's super sweet and social and strong and basically everything you want in an ally. She's great to work with and when we talk strategy, we're just always on the same page. I feel bad putting her second here but I really don't think I can beat her at the end. There's a lot of game to play still, but I am not here for second place. I have a tough time turning on great allies though, so we'll have to see how things go down the road. While I think she has her hands in a few cookie jars, I trust that she's most loyal to me.

3. James

James is the final member of Alex's Angels, and I really have nothing against him. I just know he has a lot of deals in a lot of places. Zooey knows it too, which is nice. I trust him for now, and I trust him within the context of the alliance. However, once I know that the Ashes is done, and where the vetoes are locatJiggle... I may have to make a move on this guy if I have the power to do so.

4. Hilarie

Hilarie and I have a side-alliance with Zooey, which is a pretty nice gig. It's always good to have extra votes lying around for when you may need them. I like Hilarie and all, but as I said it's a side-alliance. I don't think this girl could be very important to me with an unfortunate DPOV event though. I just think she'll be useful overall.

5. Hal

Only because I feel bad. He's such a nice guy, but he's just getting the shaft repeatedly in this game. And, spoiler alert, he's about to get it again from Brittany. We're technically alignJiggle... it's just that he's a great competitor. He's tied with Brittany for the most number of competition wins, and you could argue that his wins were more impressive. He's certainly great with visual things, and I would not say that's a strength within our alliance. Additionally, he has connections at the Ashes. In short, he has to go.

6. Amy

I really like Amy. A lot. She's super nice and easy to talk to, but we just don't really have anything going. If I won HOH, she would have likely been nominated this week. I'm also worried that she has a prize from the Ashes. Some sort of veto. I wouldn't be surprised at all if she does. I'll be curious to see where I stand with her in the coming rounds.

7. Badger

I really have nothing to say about Badger. He's a nice guy, I suppose, but our conversations are boring and we have never really talked about the game. So yeah, not much to say about him. He'd have been my target this week if I won HOH, with a possible Hal backdoor... but mainly Badger.

So time for an update!!

I was talking to Brittany, and she was leaning toward nominations of Hal and Badger. As much as I wanted to see Amy nominated for possibly having a POV, I was fine with these nominations for a lot of reasons:

1. Badger is the person I'm least close to in the house.
2. Hal needs to leave, but not when I'm HOH. I need that jury vote.
3. Hilarie, who isn't in the core alliance, but is an ally no less, isn't going up.

Of course, once Brittany said she was thinking of doing this I knew it was going to happen. My theory in Big Brother is that you determine your nominations about 5 seconds into winning HOH, and spend the next 23 hours and 55 seconds trying to justify those nominations to yourself and the rest of the house. So yeah, I assumed they were going up.

The next goal was to win veto to have some power and maybe make a move this week on Amy, but unfortunately it was a veto that involved a lot of time. Thursdays are hell for me, so I just couldn't really do anything. I felt bad getting last but whatever. I'm glad Zooey won, because if anyone wanted to make a move under my influence, it'd be Zooey. However, Zooey was hesitant to try and flush Amy's potential POV, as was Brittany. I can totally understand why. It's very hard to justify nominating someone who's going to come right back off the block. So nominations stayed the same.

And then, a miracle. HAL PLAYS THE DPOV. I could have diJiggle. Could have actually diJiggle. See, Hal trusts me in this game. If he wins HOH next week, I am for sure safe. Brittany is going to be targeted like mad, so that's great, because I'll be able to prove my allegiance to her. Plus, Hal is public (almost had this as pubic whoops) enemy number 1, so him staying in the game fortifies the alliances that I have. And now he alienated Hilarie by nominating her next to Badger. So now, Badger is going to go home and the DPOV is gone. I couldn't have asked for a better round.

I know that Brant has the Silver POV and Kristen has Bronze. Diamond is gone, so that leaves steel. It's somewhere... IDK where though. I'm not very concerned about it. I just hope that neither Kristen nor Brant return to the game, because that mean 3/4 vetoes are gone. Amazing.

This puts me in a great position in this game. I have alliances with everyone but Ms. Amy, which means winning HOH next week is absolutely pertinent. Assuming someone comes back from Ashes, I will nominate them alongside Amy and send one of those two out the door. Then, I have alliances with every person in the house except for the person who survives, heading into the Final 7. I'd feel great about that. Plus, I would be off, "Jiggle needs to win HOH for the alliance" duty for a while, which would also be nice. Maybe win a few vetoes and enhance my jury resume. It's crazy to already be thinking about endgame, but this has been a pretty crazy ride so the jury's going to want to give it to someone deserving.

Ummmmm I think that's all for now. Lots of thoughts going on about this game, but I think things are in a great place for me. There are bigger threats out there too, and hopefully it stays that way.

[Jiggle Jugs]

Ugh. I want to think and analyze more about this game. But I can't. I really am unable to do anything until I know who comes back tomorrow night. At least then, I can write about 6000 different scenarios for what might happens. I just have to wait :/
