Called it.
I knew my gut wasn't lying to me about this. Ugh I'm nervous. I'm already banking Elissa tries to stage a move on me. I need to werk for Veto. Sorry Ian. Which btw, Porsche wants to pull off a blindside this week. I really don't think that's the right move to make, but it's her HoH... her HoH where she just nominated.. the whole house. A blindside would split the house down the middle though. Ik my move was shaky enough last week, but this would certainly take the cake if this is the end result of the week. Ugh having BBR11 flashbacks and I don't like it.

I have no idea where to even begin this week. It's been a pretty straightforward week, but also quite complex, mainly due to the sheer amount of scheming going around in the house. People were okay with evicting Ian, but that didn't stop them from thinking ahead, which I found to be relatively interesting. I know for me, I really attempted to take as much of a backseat as I could this week. Given everything that went down last week, I needed to lay low, and you better bet I tried to keep my cards as close to my chest as possible. Others I don't think did the same, albeit they weren't in the same situation, but I know I always at least try to keep my own agenda under wraps until I have to show my hand, and there has definitely been a wide variety of information flowing around the house this week.
For starters, Porsche opening Pandora's box, I'm not sure if this was the right or wrong move for her. Short term it was, but long term I'm not so sure. Ian was not after her in any complexity, and now the shield is gone. I know she had a wild hair to open it, but I called the Survivor week, and she believed Elissa/Ian on an elimination challenge. If something sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. I know I feel a little bit more vulnerable, but Porsche is considered the biggest competition threat in the house right now, so she is the new target. It's funny because I noted earlier how this cast seems more aware than the Starz cast on her threat level. Everyone is talking about how much of a threat she is, which is so odd for her. It's different to see, but regardless I know she wanted Dominic out this week, but that wasn't going to happen. Ian's fate rested in Jessie's hands and he fucked up major, so there was no way to accumulate votes to save him, and to be quite Jamie I didn't want that to happen. I needed to make sure things went according to that plan this week. If a plan leaked to save Ian, a counter group would have formed to create their own blindside and I could have easily seen myself on the receiving end of it. In conversations with others yesterday I did my best to throw in points of, well is this really the best option right now, by using the argument that the house could split if Ian stayed. Do I actually believe this to be the case? Not completely. I think James would have tried to pull something together, but I didn't see it causing a big rift had Ian actually stayed. The thing with Jessie sealed the deal, but I'm sure my points didn't go unnoticed to Porsche or Andrew.
On Porsche, I think she made a grave error this week that is going to cost her the game, and I'm already taking precautions to make sure I don't go down with her. Porsche has all of a sudden become weary of Andrew, which I told her I had felt he would screw us once his DPoV is gone, and goes to Elissa of all people to express this. Elissa, wanting to ride this alliance Shane created to the end so she makes finals, is obviously adamant about it. Call me crazy, but I think Andrew's real F2 is Elissa. It's not Jessie, it's not Porsche, and it's certainly not me. That pair makes the most sense. I always see them online and offline at the same time. If Elissa and Andrew are really together, Elissa could easily run to Andrew and all of a sudden Andrew is going to gun for Porsche once James/Dom are gone. The one plus Porsche does not know about is I've been telling Jessie everything Andrew has been saying about how she is in his pocket. I know she is weary of him, and I'm glad because I am to, but I do think Porsche put herself in a dangerous position. If I win next week, I'm going to pull the trigger on Elissa if I can. I need her to go. Porsche was getting frustrated with Elissa bc she threw the F5 in Porsche's face about Andrew, yet she continually plots to take me out. That's just further proof to me of how strong the bond between Andrew and Elissa is and it needs to be nipped in the ass soon. Andrew's DPoV needs to be flushed on Dominic instead of James. I do think Dominic would go for Porsche and not me, but I'm not blind to the fact he has no intention of sitting anywhere near the finals with me.
Jack and I have also patched things up. He told me he is going to put up Andrew/Jessie if he wins HoH, and at this point I have no intention of pawning him again. I have other players in mind who I need to take out. My bootlist has completely changed over the course of a week, and all I had to do was sit back and observe a little bit. I do think Elissa and Andrew are the Andy's of this game, and I need to get one of them out in the next few weeks. Dominic can fall victim to the DPoV in the next two weeks. James is making a lot of effort to truly show he is with Porsche and I, so that's really encouraging. I just hope he is not playing us. Here is my new ally list.
1. Porsche 2. Jessie 3. Jack 4. James 5. Jun 6. Andrew 7. Elissa 8. Dominic
Also as much as Ian leaving this week sucks, I think if I am in the end with Porsche and I keep being strategic, I will win. I have Jack/Jessie/James/Dom on lock I'd like to think, so I should be set. I also think if I knock out Elissa I could attain her vote. Andrew and Jun are the two I think I'd have the most trouble with, but I'm not too upset with this Jury even tho I was more concerned a few weeks ago. I'm being as careful as I can right now, that's for sure. I think that's all I got this week. The Porchel train chugs forward!!
