[9] Rise Like a Phoenix

[cody]

OMG. Guess who's finally the bride and just when they needed it the most! With that I'm now up to three competition wins, as well as being one of the only people to have won both HoH / PoV [David being the other].

I only need one more comp win to tie with David's (which I was hoping was 

going to be this veto) but based on my long ass time of 1hr 37min that might

not happen. I could have cut like 40 minutes off that time if I was just able to find that sneakily hidden '2'. However, it's not the end of the world, the main thing is just that Porsche

doesn't win. 

I would have indefinitely nominated her already but I didn't want to risk whoever I left off winning the veto and forcing Sarah on the block and out the door. So, Porsche seemed like the logical choice to keep off considering she's done horrible in speed based competitions thus far. So I'm just hoping that the trend continues. 

If David or Austin wins and uses it on themselves, I'll have no hard feelings in renominating her. I honestly want Porsche gone ASAP, as I feel the jury will respect her game play the most over Austins / Davids. She has had basically no control considering her lack of power but at the same time things haven't gone terrible for her... She is the last person to be un-nominated (Although I could argue that I've never been eligible to be evicted). To put it simply I just think that shes the person who has been around the most on aim and has never really been targeted.

The question is do I target her before David as he has been a serious physical contender and if I have him out of the picture I definitely feel as though I'm the best all round challenge competitor between the four of us. I guess I'll just deal with it when the time comes...

If David/Austin win veto then she goes up and I will talk to Sarah about whether or not now is the time because I can already see her sliding into the finals with 0 competition wins and looking like an extremely strong social player who never was targeted and I definitely don't want that to happen. 

As of now if I were to choose who I wanted to sit next to in the finals it would be Sarah.
I really do think I have the potential to beat her and in keeping her I also look loyal. Following her would be Austin > David > Porsche.

Now I'm just praying that Porsche doesn't win POV, which ensures Sarah makes it to F4. Then Sarah wins HoH next week (as I wont be able to compete) then her/I win that POV and we're in the F3 and ready to drag those bitches right out of the house.

So thank god Sarah won and shes in the final four with me for certain. I think that definitely gives me a better shot and making it through to that final three. I tried to plead the case that it might make sense for us to get rid of Porsche or at least put her on the block and keep her so that she can't say she went un-nominated. However, Sarah was against it. She thinks Davids a bigger threat (despite him being like invisible the last couple of days) and she doesn't want to upset Porsche. Not that I'm sure why she even cares if she's upsetting Porsche at this stage considering we're at the final four and Porsche has had no problems doing things against her?

Ohwell though, it looks like David is going to go home which is fine by me.

Now I just have to hope that Porsche will end up on the block next week and we can send her butt out the door.

When you're having an internal crisis, because you think the votes going to tie and you couldn't really care who goes but you also kind of do care fml.

In the event of a tie.

I have chosen to evict...

AUSTIN


There are literally pros/cons to keeping both and I could go back and fourth between the two for ages. However, I think that having David go into the next round will give me the best opportunity to make it to the final three. Ultimately, I have a higher shot of David voting to keep me over Austin. I also think that David could potentially be seen as a bigger threat and if we were on the block together I'd have a better shot to stay as opposed to if I were on the block against Austin. These are extremely important to consider due to the fact that I won't be able to compete in the next HoH. So unless Sarah wins I could very easily end straight back onto the block. I also feel like if it was ultimately me vs David in the F2 he hasn't played that amazing of a social game, he more so just has had a good run with POVs. Austin could probably argue he had a bit more strategy ingrained. Also I think this will show that Porsche didn't have control over everything that went down. 


Going in to the next round my ideal situation is to have Sarah win HoH. Assume she keeps me off the block with her initial nominations, then win the veto and have my say as to who makes it to the final three. If that were my decision it will indefinitely be a Bye Porsche moment. I'm still unsure if Sarah would want that so I have to play up the fact that I'm extremely unsure so that she doesn't get too worried that I'll just do what I want. Really the main important thing is that I just win that veto next week and ensure my spot in the final three.
