Hahaha. Happy to see David go. I was going to target he and Ian anyways. Oh, and since David admitted to cheating, it's obvious there is still a cheater in our midst. Lame that they're not ballsy enough to just own up to it, however, I'm certain karma will take its toll. I really think it's Ian, and that Ian renominating David was just a cover up, knowing that David would quit. Could have been Jack, but my target is now on the nerd.

006 - End of an Era?
Summary:
I volunteer to be nominated with the plan of an Ian backdoor. Rachel fucks it up and tries to take out Shane. Rachel thinks she has all the votes for Shane to leave. Jessie and James confess that they're voting against me. I'm super bummed with this week. Will it be the end?

Sorry this is gonna be short. James wanted Ian gone all week. I don't really want Ian here, but I think there are bigger fish to fry (Rachel and Porsche). But I don't see how I'd be able to get the votes for Rachel to leave. Had I won immunity, I would have made a public video explaining why Rachel needed to leave this week. But between the risk of Rachel being able to spin the vote back on me, not knowing who I could even trust to get the votes, and James campaigning hard for Ian to go, this week seems like another floating week for Dom. Blah.

Trust Nobody (Except Chester)
Summary: Rachel proves she's not really concerned about any sort of alliance with me. Porsche/Rachel continue to be the biggest threats. Suspicions of a secret alliance between Rachel/Andrew. Plan to try to save Elissa and use her to combat the major threats? Feeling somewhat safe, but by no means in a "good" spot. Need to win a mutha-fuckin HoH!!!!!!!

Finally, a week of success!
Summary: Yay for Jessie HoH week! I win PoV and work with Jessie to ensure a major threat will leave. Plan is to use Jack to take out Porsche. Andrew leaving isn't the worst of options. James or Dom will win HoH next week and take out either Rachel/Andrew ideally.
Elissa and Jack sitting in best spots as far as floating.
James/Dom/Jessie vs Rachel/Porsche/Andrew? Elissa and Jack kinda floating?
There is suspicion that maybe Rachel is against Porsche, but I'm skeptical. Rachel could quite possibly be playing her own game to do whatever it takes to advance herself and only herself. Rachel and Jessie are the only players not nominated yet? Actually, Jessie is sitting in a decent spot too, considering the other side will target the pair of me/James before her. Womp. Here's to winning next HoH!

Well.... word on the street is that Jack is gonna be a little bitch and try to isolate James and myself by voting to evict Andrew. This is so lolzy. He's Porsche's little lap dog. End of story. Also, apparently James is "on the fence" according to Jessie who heard from Elissa. Not surprising that James is giving contradictory information. He's trying to play all sides.
Not sure what to expect at the eviction tonight, but assuming Porsche will stay. Oh well. I tried, right?
With this new news, Jessie and I will likely be the initial targets next week, with me being the main target. Not only will they wipe out an opposing force, but they will split up the duo of myself/James. I mean, they could go straight for me/James, but if he votes with them, that could be his saving grace. Either way, I'm sure that if I am nominated against Jessie or James, I could probably get the other to use the PoV on me next round if the non-nominated one wins it.
But really, I just need to win an HoH instead, and guarantee my safety.

Just some notes of who's likely/possibly targeting who after this round, assuming Porsche stays...
Elissa -> Rachel Rachel -> Elissa Rachel -> James Rachel -> Dom Porsche -> Dom Porsche -> Jessie Dom -> Porsche Dom -> Rachel Jessie -> Porsche James -> Who the fuck knows anymore.... Jack -> Dom Jack -> James Jack -> Jessie
Oh.... would you look at that. Muthafucking Jack ain't go nobody muthafucking after him.
I know Elissa is in a great spot, but how can I target her over Rachel/Porsche. I want so badly to actually be able to work with Rachel, but she's burned me twice now at the expense of making selfish moves, even if she was using me as a pawn. And I know I will NEVER be on Porsche's good side in this game. It's far too late for that.

Just figured out that Jack and Elissa are more than likely a final 2, and perhaps have been for a while now. I confronted Jack about his vote, and I kinda coerced some information outta him. He was very knowlegeable about Porsche being Reese, but claimed that it's the first time he met her. When he said that, along with sayin how his vote was bigger than me vs. Porsche, I realized that his vote was not in an attempt to save Porsche, but in an attempt to save andrew. And when he said he had people in his ear all day, my mind went straight to Elissa. Who wanted Andrew out more than anybody? Elissa! So yeah.... that's my assumption now. Which puts Elissa in even MORE of a stronger position....
Do I risk going to Rachel one more time and trying to strike a deal to forego my target of her and Porsche in an attempt to take out Elissa? I can't really justify doing so... But either way, I'm gonna be very wary of Elissa now (not that I haven't been).
There are obviously other loose alliances floating around, but that above list probably highlights some of the closer bonds that I'm aware of or assuming exist...

This shows how I kinda view the house dynamic.
Yellow alliances of myself, Jessie, James, Elissa, with a stronger core red alliance that excludes Elissa bc she showed us that she's still loyal to Porsche. Then the black arrows show potential/confirmed strong duos. The Blue arrow shows James had/has? a strong relationship with Porsche, despite voting against her last round. The Purple alliance is odd because I can definitely see them working together to try to take out one from the yellow side (most likely myself or maybe James as a secondary target), but at the same time, Elissa and Rachel are definitely claiming to be after one another.
I could be dead wrong about some of this, and there's likely stuff I'm missing, but from what I've gathered the last few rounds (because, let's face it, I know my social game has been abysmal until the past few rounds), this is how I see it. I'm ready to make a big move, and it's looking more and more tempting to try to do something against Elissa since she seems to be in the BEST position. But how can I forego my mission of taking out two of the biggest threats from day 1? FWAAAAAA..... what to do... what to do?

Vets alliance of James/Dom/Rachel/Porsche?
Will it work? Maybe. Will I stick to it? Maybe. Lol I highly doubt I will vote to evict Jessie over Porsche/Rachel if it came to that. But if the deal is being offered, I'd be an IDIOT to say no. Will I look like a snake? Yes. But I'm sorry.... Rachel and James have BOTH done snakey things this game. Rachel pawned me up (and rightfully so), and James has copied/pasted convos that I had with him about taking out Rachel and sent them to Rachel. And I'm sure Porsche has done some snakey things too. So yeah, if it's in my best interest to make this deal now and break it later, I will. I'm not playing in a children's tee-ball league where everyone is a winner. I'm playing in a competitive game of Big Brother with some great players who would do that same thing in my shoes. Rachel isn't offering this f4 possibility because it's the nice thing to do. She's offering it for a sense of insurance. So yeah... that's my two cents. I appreciate her willingness to show some grace, but I don't buy one minute that there's not a selfish undertone to this move.
