Marketplace purchases held by players:
1) Eric - Voider
2) Jake - Oops Sorry HoH(used this round on Stacey)
3) Jordan - Robber (used this round on Eric)
4) Mike - Oops Sorry HoH
5) Michael - Cutting Edge
Last time in Agrabah…
• Jake swept the round with veto and HoH, making him the third houseguest to do so
• Eric and Michael took control of the votes with some purchases from the Marketplace
• Jay became the sixth victim of the musical alliances of Agrabah.
Jake breathes in a sigh of relief after eviction.
Michael is ecstatic.
Jordan and Mike talk about all the enigmas (Editor’s Note: Totally read that as egomaniacs the first time around…which also fits) in the game. This exchange is amusing…
Mike: I’m Americas player and I’m taking you all out, jk.
Jordan: Lmao, no wonder you're utterly failing all the comps!
Mike: LOL!
Jordan: Do I make auto f2 for calling you out?
Mike: You have to IM Alex to get your prize.
This is Jordan’s conversation with Alex…
Jordan: Mike is America's Player. What do I win?
Alex: You will need to post in your journal along with your reasoning why.
Jordan: Okay! YAY!!
Which he shows to Mike…
Mike: LOL!
Jordan: Fail. He says you’re not.
Mike: You’re not using the right terminology that’s why.
Jordan: Lmao, instead of Mike is America's player. I should've said, "this game is rigged for Mike!" what do I win?
Mike!: LOL, ok fine ill spell it out for you. I’m the damn genie ok?
Jordan’s post in his journal!
(Editor’s Note: Alex informed him he was incorrect.)
Stacey discusses her frustration with Jordan for getting her to waste her double vote. She also mentions that Eric is aligned with everyone, though Jordan says not with him. Eric tells Jordan someone stole his money; Jordan plays dumb. Jake tells Jordan he’ll be using his Oops HoH on Mike or Stacey as one of them winning would be bad for everyone. (Editor’s Note: Jordan just needs to be told everything by everyone!)
HoH is Aladdin trivia, as explained by Alex.
In front of you are three coconuts for each of you.
Stacey, you have been sat out of the competition.
ERIC [X] [X] [X] JORDAN [X] [X] [X] MICHAEL [X] [X] [X] MIKE [X] [X] [X] ROBBIE [X] [X] [X] RYAN [X] [X] [X]
I will ask a question in the chat related to the plots of the three Aladdin movies.
Each person will only have one response allowed.
The first three people to get the correct answer will be able to chop another person's coconut.
When there are only three people or less remaining, only the first person to answer correctly will be allowed to chop.
Once someone does not have any more coconuts, they will be eliminated from the competition.
Chops will go in order based off of who answered the question correctly first.
The last person standing will become the new Head of Household, guaranteeing themselves a spot in the final seven, and $100.
Eric bemoans the fact that his game plans seem to be crumbling.
Jake seems much more optimistic.
Eric hits up Ryan for advice on the upcoming veto. Ryan advises him to win veto and keep his nominations the same. Afterwards they discuss how they are outsiders and need to split Jake and Robbie up by getting Robbie out.
Ryan tells Jordan to “rest easy” about nominations and asks for safety the following week if Jordan wins. Mike and
Michael talk about how screwed they are. They also laugh over the fact that Jake is assuring Mike he’s safe, even though Ryan is HoH.
Mike can’t seem to decide if he should be happy or not.
Time for Ryan’s nominations, full of really big words!!
In a game where interpersonal relationships are of paramount importance, it is evident that advancement of one's position is contingent upon removing those that are of less use for oneself in the game.
With this Golden Rule of Big Brother in mind, I will begin the nomination ceremony.
First Key...
[ERIC], you are safe.
Second key...
[JORDAN], you are safe.
Third key...
[ROBBIE], you are safe.
Fourth key...
[MICHAEL], you are safe.
Final key...
[JAKE], you are safe.
I have put up for eviction, [STACEY] and [MIKE].
Stacey, you put me up for eviction a few weeks ago for not knowing where I stood, and I can see you doing it again. It upset me greatly to have been put on the block, especially in light of our Canadian bond, and fair is fair - I am putting you on the block for the same reason. Despite all of this, I do think you are a wonderful person; we've had great conversations, and you are one of the few people that understands the truly horrendous, humid Ontario summer weather that we endure.
Mike, the way I see it, you are aligned with Stacey. I can see both of you voting in a manner to save the other, and that is essentially the reason I have nominated you. To elucidate what I mean, in chemical engineering terms, I see you two as an ionic bond, and I'm hoping that this nomination will serve as the "solvent" to dissociate you into your respective ions.
Best of luck to the both of you!
Michael also seems less than pleased by the current situation.
Jordan approaches Ryan to tell him that he knows he’s the replacement nominee, to which Ryan responds…
Ryan: You weren't supposed to hear that I didn't want to make you mad! I hate confrontation ahhhhhhh!
Ryan reveals that he only mentioned Jordan as a backup in his diary room and assures Jordan he is safe. Three minutes later he takes it back.
Mike is less than pleased.
Eric tells Mike that he thinks Stacey is the target, so Mike should calm down. Then they try to figure out who has what power; they settle on Jake having the veto sit out, Jordan having the robber and Stacey possibly having something. (Editor’s Note: Mike posted many eye roll emoticons after this conversation.) Then Eric tells Mike that they need to make sure the veto is used so that Jordan can be backdoored. (Editor’s Note: even more eye roll emoticons!!)
Explanation of side eye rolls.
Alex's description of veto!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebus
Those are rebus puzzles.
Simple challenge.
In chat, I will be linking you to a series of rebus puzzles. One at a time.
You will only get one guess per question.
The first person to guess each puzzle correctly will get a point.
After twenty questions, the person with the most points will win he power of veto and have a chance to save either Mike or Stacey from the nomination block.
If there is a tie, there will be one tiebreaker challenge.
Good Luck!
Michael pretty much creams everyone, getting nearly half of the points. Go Michael!
Michael rejoices.
Jordan tries to secure Robbie’s vote.
Jordan: I'm so going up if Michael uses veto.
Robbie: then you better fucking make sure he doesn't use it then hey?
Jordan: Haha tryin! FAIL!
Robbie: random ass round if you ask me
Jordan: Pretty much. Well, I'd like to stay and I'd continue to have your back Robbie. Hope you know that. <3
Robbie: <3 You’re a doll.
Michael tells Mike he’s saving him, Mike tells him to make sure he’s not going to regret it. They then discuss who to evict and Michael admits to wanting to keep Stacey. He does mention that the plan hinges on getting Eric’s vote though.
Mike does indeed get saved by Michael, and Jordan, as guessed, goes up in his place. Leaving the final decision as Stacey vs. Jordan
Robbie blesses us with his presence.
Jake and Eric discuss the new Mike/Michael/Jordan alliance. Eric, however, doesn’t seem to trust Jake much.
Eric reflects on being robbed.
(Editor’s Note: Eric, turn off the caps lock…)
Ryan confronts Michael.
Ryan: Why did you do that...
Michael: Lol I promised Mike. I thought he was gonna let me put up Eric. Didn’t know you had the choice. Did I make a mistake?
Ryan: Pretty hurt.
Michael: Shit, sorry. I thought you just wanted Stacey gone.
Ryan: But why would you change the nominations. I'm so sad...
Michael: I’m sorry. Ugh.....I wasn’t gonna use it too.
Ryan: Then why did you use it?
Michael: Well mike convinced me I guess.
Ryan: How?
Michael: Well I didn’t wanna risk him to go, even though Stacey is going and I kinda wanted Eric up.
Ryan: I told you before the veto that I was putting up Jordan.
Michael: I thought I could choose Eric. (Editor’s Note: This is a lie. A giant lie.)
Mike blesses us with a pretty picture…
i29.tinypic.com/41bhs.jpg
And a lovely confessional.
After Michael drops the bomb, Jake reconsiders the existence of a Michael/Mike/Jordan alliance.
Jordan and Michael discuss how Michael thinks Eric will be Ryan’s replacement nomination. But then Jordan goes up. Michael says Jordan shouldn’t be going home and Jordan reveals he thought Michael was with Robbie/Ryan/Jake. Michael reveals that he has no idea where Jordan’s head is. They then agree to work together with Mike. (Editor’s Note: Without consulting Mike, how kind!)
Mike and Stacey discuss the mob mentality of the house and how stupid everyone is. Stacey fesses up to having been aligned with Jake, though that has ended. They continue bitching about being nominated for quite some time and reminisce about the good times they had making fun of Travis and chatting about sex with Ray.
Ryan and Jordan talk.
Ryan: Um I just got online, and apparently everything has changed and you're being evicted...I have no fucking clue what's going on. Everything was fine yesterday....
Jordan: Well, what did you expect? When you make decisions without knowing all the facts. You, Robbie and Jake are screwed, but it’s obvious to me that you’re playing all sides too with Eric and Michael. So when I get evicted, I’ll make sure to inform everyone in case they don’t already know
Ryan: So you really were being resentful yesterday, but you hid it well.
Jordan: No, I wasn’t resentful yesterday. I’m resentful to you now because you clearly didn’t and still don’t know what you’re doing. At all. Next time, you secure votes first. I can’t believe I’m going to be evicted by the hands of a ghost. And all that crap about you pissing your pants from confrontation and you were sweating. Lol, did you really think id believe that? And if it’s true, then that is just pathetic and I feel bad for you. I’ll tell you the same thing I told Michael. Get out more and gain some better social skills.
Ryan: Hey, it's just a game. The reason I don't attend all these challenges is cuz I do have a life outside this game... I'm sad that I upset you so badly, and I'll be joining you soon on the jury probably. And you're right, I was just pretending yesterday, but we're both good actors.
Jordan: Um excuse me kid.
Ryan: Are you really taking this personally? Cuz then I do feel bad for you...
Jordan: I have a life outside of them too and no I’m not taking it personally but I think the way all of you handled it was retarded as hell. But I am still going to tell everyone what you’re up to.
Ryan: Ok that's fine, so are you most mad at me out of everyone? Cuz you're being evicted by my ghost hands?
Jordan: No and lol at you trying to use me being mad at you for your advantage. I’m VOTING FOR YOU TO WIN RYAN! I hope you make it there bud.
Mike fills us in on what he’s been talking about with his bff Michael.
Jake has soured on Michael.
Jordan talks to Michael again and claims that his intuition is telling him that Mike and Michael are going to vote him out regardless. Michael says that until Jordan threw that out there he was totally on board with voting out Stacey, though he admits he has yet to speak with Mike. Jordan accuses Michael of planning on voting him out the entire time and tells him to go out and work on his social skills. Michael stops trying to convince him other wise and leaves him alone to theorize on the round.
Then he changes his mind.
You’d think he’d stop there, but no, yet another change of plans.
Mike and Eric confirm that they are keeping Stacey. Apparently Jake and Robbie haven’t been let in on this yet, but Mike says if they ask he’ll tell them. (Editor’s Note: NO EYE ROLLS!!!)
Jake reconfirms that he isn’t going to vote Jordan out. Jordan tells Jake that Michael is playing him. Jake isn’t phased, claiming he already knew that. Eventually they come to the conclusion that Jordan is dead meat and Jake will be following him out the door. Jake points out that maybe working with Ray/Jay/Stacey would have been a better plan. Jordan’s outlook is pretty bleak.
Ryan reflects on the round.
In the end, in a *INSERT VOTE COUNT* Jordan becomes the seventh person evicted.
1) Eric - Voider
2) Jake - Oops Sorry HoH(used this round on Stacey)
3) Jordan - Robber (used this round on Eric)
4) Mike - Oops Sorry HoH
5) Michael - Cutting Edge
Last time in Agrabah…
• Jake swept the round with veto and HoH, making him the third houseguest to do so
• Eric and Michael took control of the votes with some purchases from the Marketplace
• Jay became the sixth victim of the musical alliances of Agrabah.
Jake breathes in a sigh of relief after eviction.
I was really nervous going into the eviction because I have a very paranoid mind and didn't know if Jordan/Michael's alliance would drop with us or on the other side with Jay and Stacey. The vote came up 5-2 and Stacey must have felt like the biggest jack ass when she basically used her double vote for nothing. Jay was gone and I was thrilled. I wanted to do a river dance all the way walking him out of the palace, but I composed myself and just played it cool.
Going into the Head of Household I decided I would need to buy the Oops HoH power JUST in the off chance things went crazy with the vote. So I won it and used it on Stacey, she must be like scared to death of me - or hate me- because she thinks she’s slick and, yeah, she is not...so Mike vs. everyone else for HoH...

Michael is ecstatic.
VICTORY!!!!!!!!! Everything that I planned out happened exactly as it should have. Jay got evicted. Mike stays. Stacey wasted her double vote. I get a double vote. Eric gets a voider. Stacey sits out of HoH. Me and Eric now hold the votes to do whatever we want, whenever we want. Nobody is safe.
Jordan and Mike talk about all the enigmas (Editor’s Note: Totally read that as egomaniacs the first time around…which also fits) in the game. This exchange is amusing…
Mike: I’m Americas player and I’m taking you all out, jk.

Mike!: LOL, ok fine ill spell it out for you. I’m the damn genie ok?
Jordan’s post in his journal!
That is one of the twists. I know it. He is the AP because he completely fails at comps. ON PURPOSE. He is incredibly smart and knows what he's doing. You chose him specifically for this role. Ok there’s my reasoning. What do I win?
(Editor’s Note: Alex informed him he was incorrect.)
Stacey discusses her frustration with Jordan for getting her to waste her double vote. She also mentions that Eric is aligned with everyone, though Jordan says not with him. Eric tells Jordan someone stole his money; Jordan plays dumb. Jake tells Jordan he’ll be using his Oops HoH on Mike or Stacey as one of them winning would be bad for everyone.

Eric bemoans the fact that his game plans seem to be crumbling.
So Ryan won. All this not wanting to look like an ALLIANCE screwed me- I needed Michael to win....
regardless. Unless Stacey wins- she is gone which is fine, which means I’m going to have to combine my Mike/Michael alliances. I don’t know if I trust Ryan enough, but the Jordan/Jake/Robbie trio is really strong. I guess my sneaky ways are catching up to me. It’s also funny that my closest allies have never won HOH- I would like to be safe one week.

Jake seems much more optimistic.
The challenge was trivia about the movie trilogy of Aladdin which I couldn't be happier that was the challenge because I most certainly do not remember any of those shitstorm movies. I hate Disney. I joined this game because the board was pretty. It also was a challenge about chopping coconuts which exposed a lot of relationships.
Jordan and Michael attacked each other...on purpose to hide their alliance, which we all fucking see through. Ryan and Robbie's butt buddy festival. Eric having no fucking idea what to do. Mike basically being obliterated and being Michael and Jordan's new mascot. In the end it came down to Ryan and Robbie and I could not have been more thrilled, best possible ending ever. Other then myself winning.
Ryan wins and it puts the target kind of on him for once. He finally has pulled his weight and he made me eat my words. Go Ryan. Nominate Mike and Stacey and let’s get shit rolling for next week.

Mike can’t seem to decide if he should be happy or not.
So I ended up surviving my first eviction, yay! Everyone kept their word. That’s probably one of the drawbacks to this game. No one wants to lie except for me lol. But I’m still here, so I’m happy. I wasn’t ready to go and I have a lot of fight left in me, although this cast is really pissing me off to no end.
When I saw the HoH was an eliminator-type, I was like UGH fuck this bullshit. How am I supposed to win a competition like this when I’m in the minority? When I got the first point, I wanted to go after Ryan because I didn’t trust him but my stupid ass listened to Eric and went for Robbie. Obviously, I was eliminated soon after.
Ryan went on to win the Head of Household. I already expect to be nominated with Stacey. Ryan is a fucking joke. He's the least deserving of being here and now he gets to go on a power trip all week. The guy is extremely hard to talk to and I don’t get along with him. My nomination at this point can’t be more obvious. Plus, Ryan has something with Robbie which means Jake as well. So it’s not like there are tons of options.
And Eric....UGH. He thinks he’s some mastermind in the grand scheme of things, and it’s really getting on my nerves. I fucking get annoyed every time he IMs me now. I know what his game is and I know he’s trying to play all sides. He’s way too obvious. And I know he didn’t want to win that HoH because that would force him to pick a side, and he didn’t want to do that. Whatever, all his lies and game play will come back to get him soon enough. I can’t be the only one that sees it.

To elucidate what I mean, in chemical engineering terms, I see you two as an ionic bond, and I'm hoping that this nomination will serve as the "solvent" to dissociate you into your respective ions.
Best of luck to the both of you!
Michael also seems less than pleased by the current situation.
Stacey and Mike. Wow, who couldn't see that coming from a mile away? I trust Ryan and he wants Stacey to leave, so why go against him if I'm not the target at all. As for me/Eric, this nomination is no good since it tilts the balance of power too far over to Jake/Robbie/Jordan. Something has to change. Luckily, there’s the veto.
Jordan approaches Ryan to tell him that he knows he’s the replacement nominee, to which Ryan responds…
Ryan: You weren't supposed to hear that I didn't want to make you mad! I hate confrontation ahhhhhhh!
Ryan reveals that he only mentioned Jordan as a backup in his diary room and assures Jordan he is safe. Three minutes later he takes it back.
Mike is less than pleased.
Oh my god....I’m nominated. Again. WHAT? This wasn’t the plan. What the fuck Ryan? Ryan's speech was retarded. He should have just said that we don't talk. Using chemistry to justify your nominations is lame, especially when we all know you're Robbie's sidekick and there are other "pairs." And he is butthurt over Stacey nominating him? Grow a set of balls dude. It's a fucking game. It's unfortunate there aren't smarter players. People are making emotional decisions and it’s annoying. Whatever. Like I said, I expected it so I shouldn't harp on it.
Right now, my strategy is just to win the PoV which fucks with my no winning streak I have going here. It worked for mah girl Cobie Smulders, so I was thinking of using that strategy here. I think Michael would use it on me if he won, but I’m not 100% sure. Him and Ryan have some Asian connection apparently. Eric told me he'd save me, but I'm not putting any stock in him because he just tells people what they need to hear. Stacey also told me she has a Oops - Veto power so she could sit me out and really fuck me over. I’m gonna try and convince her to use it on someone else, but people might pressure her to use it on me.

Now Eric is accusing me of telling Jordan about this plan to backdoor him? I don’t know. I feel like it’s all made up bullshit in the first place. Eric is probably making shit up to get me voted out so he can have my jury vote + money when I’m gone. Guess what Eric? I’m not giving you either.

Michael rejoices.
Okay, I won by like a mile......shows I'm not an idiot and that I am actually in the game. No more sitting on my ass, and time to make decisions how I want them to go. I love veto wins so much more than HoH -- less flack and I still get to make the critical decisions that count, like taking Mike off the block.
By taking Mike off, I am hopefully securing a debt that he needs to pay up later and to hopefully guarantee that Mike stays on my side moreso than Jordan OR Stacey--both of whom are close to him. In any case, the REAL reason why I saved Mike was to change the flow of the game---Jake/Robbie/Jordan cannot sit over there WITHOUT ever feeling the block. I mean, come on, they have spent 0 time on the block. And put me up too. so payback.
Surprisingly, I think Ryan is okay with this too.

So Jordan and Stacey are on the block and I really don’t know what the fuck to think or do at this point. All I know is that. Ryan is my number 1. Jake is my number 2
Nothing about that will ever change and I am going to bust my fucking ASS to make sure the three of us can stay safe. Next round is going to be extremely crucial and Jake or I abso-fucking-lutely need to win HOH because the others are going to catch on sooner or later and realize that we are the biggest force in this house.
If they don’t strike then they are all stupid but so far my plan of just doing my best to be on everyone’s good side is still going strong. My two biggest enemies, Chad and Jay, are long fucking gone. Nothing else to do but sit back and watch the puppets play

HAHA! JAKE IS CONTROLLING THE GAME ALRIGHT! BUT WHO IS CONTROLLING JAKE?
Eric reflects on being robbed.

Ryan confronts Michael.
Ryan: Why did you do that...
Michael: Lol I promised Mike. I thought he was gonna let me put up Eric. Didn’t know you had the choice. Did I make a mistake?
Ryan: Pretty hurt.
Michael: Shit, sorry. I thought you just wanted Stacey gone.
Ryan: But why would you change the nominations. I'm so sad...
Michael: I’m sorry. Ugh.....I wasn’t gonna use it too.
Ryan: Then why did you use it?
Michael: Well mike convinced me I guess.
Ryan: How?
Michael: Well I didn’t wanna risk him to go, even though Stacey is going and I kinda wanted Eric up.
Ryan: I told you before the veto that I was putting up Jordan.
Michael: I thought I could choose Eric. (Editor’s Note: This is a lie. A giant lie.)
Mike blesses us with a pretty picture…
i29.tinypic.com/41bhs.jpg
And a lovely confessional.
Michael saved me with the Veto. He's such a hero, amirite? Like, he’s the Chinese Jesus Christ. He grants miracles. All the girls want to be with him and all the guys want to be him. It was better that he won just so if he used it on me, he could not go up as a replacement. So in the end, it worked out pretty damn well. Sure, people are going to know 100% were an alliance now, but who cares? You either sit back and be a sheep and wait till you’re slaughtered, or you make bold moves to help you get further.
Ryan is pretty pissed I’m off the block apparently, which just makes me think I was the real target the entire time and not Stacey. But its fine, whatever. Now that I’m off the block, I plan to make Ryan's experience that much more fun.

After Michael drops the bomb, Jake reconsiders the existence of a Michael/Mike/Jordan alliance.
So weirdness tonight at the veto competition abounds. First of all is Michael retarded? Let’s start with that statement. Michael wins the golden power of veto. Michael spoke to Ryan earlier in the day and knew that Jordan was going to be the replacement nominee... everyone did. He basically threw Jordan under a semi, and tries to pull some complete bullshit excuse about getting to make the nomination because Ryan isn't online, so he can backdoor Eric. Give, me, a ,fucking, break....I want to break Michael in half. Lol, he is such a newb big brother player. He's an insult to my intelligence. I can’t stand how plays this game. So, looks like I was completely wrong about him and Jordan being aligned... This should be interesting.
Jordan and Michael discuss how Michael thinks Eric will be Ryan’s replacement nomination. But then Jordan goes up. Michael says Jordan shouldn’t be going home and Jordan reveals he thought Michael was with Robbie/Ryan/Jake. Michael reveals that he has no idea where Jordan’s head is. They then agree to work together with Mike. (Editor’s Note: Without consulting Mike, how kind!)
Mike and Stacey discuss the mob mentality of the house and how stupid everyone is. Stacey fesses up to having been aligned with Jake, though that has ended. They continue bitching about being nominated for quite some time and reminisce about the good times they had making fun of Travis and chatting about sex with Ray.
Ryan and Jordan talk.
Ryan: Um I just got online, and apparently everything has changed and you're being evicted...I have no fucking clue what's going on. Everything was fine yesterday....
Jordan: Well, what did you expect? When you make decisions without knowing all the facts. You, Robbie and Jake are screwed, but it’s obvious to me that you’re playing all sides too with Eric and Michael. So when I get evicted, I’ll make sure to inform everyone in case they don’t already know
Ryan: So you really were being resentful yesterday, but you hid it well.
Jordan: No, I wasn’t resentful yesterday. I’m resentful to you now because you clearly didn’t and still don’t know what you’re doing. At all. Next time, you secure votes first. I can’t believe I’m going to be evicted by the hands of a ghost. And all that crap about you pissing your pants from confrontation and you were sweating. Lol, did you really think id believe that? And if it’s true, then that is just pathetic and I feel bad for you. I’ll tell you the same thing I told Michael. Get out more and gain some better social skills.
Ryan: Hey, it's just a game. The reason I don't attend all these challenges is cuz I do have a life outside this game... I'm sad that I upset you so badly, and I'll be joining you soon on the jury probably. And you're right, I was just pretending yesterday, but we're both good actors.
Jordan: Um excuse me kid.
Ryan: Are you really taking this personally? Cuz then I do feel bad for you...
Jordan: I have a life outside of them too and no I’m not taking it personally but I think the way all of you handled it was retarded as hell. But I am still going to tell everyone what you’re up to.
Ryan: Ok that's fine, so are you most mad at me out of everyone? Cuz you're being evicted by my ghost hands?
Jordan: No and lol at you trying to use me being mad at you for your advantage. I’m VOTING FOR YOU TO WIN RYAN! I hope you make it there bud.
Mike fills us in on what he’s been talking about with his bff Michael.
So me and Michael immediately began to strategize on who to take out. We have the possibility to make a big move here. We can either keep Jordan and hope he works with us. I really, really, really like Jordan a lot as a gamer. He's smart and logical. He doesn't bullshit. He lays it out for you. I could see us definitely working together and it being beneficial on both ends. Unfortunately, I don’t know how close he is to Jake and Robbie. I believe he has some sort of connection with them because Jordan knew he was a replacement nominee and he had to find out from one of them.
Our second option is to boot Stacey and just go with what Jake/Robbie want. I think from a game perspective, Jordan is a better player so that’s more of a positive for me than it is a negative. Stacey also has ties to Jake/Robbie in that she knows them. They apparently had an alliance earlier on in the game. Stacey is an open book to me. She's an emotional player, so I feel like she tells me more. Keeping her pisses off Jake/Robbie and it really does split the house.
Of course we have a dilemma and that’s Eric. I DONT TRUST THE GUY AT ALL. He's allied with everyone. What if me and Michael go through with the plan, and Eric chickens out and then guess what? Me/Michael are the targets. So this plan hinges on Eric and it’s killing me to have to trust him. Michael swears we can trust him, but I just don’t know. I really don’t, and it’s frustrating.
My contribution to this big plan is: we vote Jordan out, I try and get the Oops HoH and sit Jake out, and then we’re all competing against Robbie for Head of Household. One of us has to win, right? The odds are in our favor, but this game is filled with so much luck and chance that Robbie could easily win the HoH and then we're all fucked. At the end of the day....IF YOU DONT MAKE MOVES, YOURE JUST WAITING TO BE PICKED OFF.

Jake has soured on Michael.
I wanted Stacey to stay originally because of Jordan's alliance - that now doesn't exist because I was wrong- with Michael... well... that alliance clearly does not exist. Which is a fail on my part, I guess I gave Michael a little more credit then I should have. Jordan is toast, I know this, the world knows this, everyone knows this. Michael knew what he was doing when he used that veto and it is now clear to me that he thinks he is going to take the reigns with Mike and Stacey.
It's obnoxiously sickening. I'm pretty sure in his confessional Michael thinks he is some wizard genius mastermind and I am about to bring a big fucking rain cloud of reality check down on his ass...I am trying to make Jordan think I want him to stay, despite there being no hope, so I can get his money...so I can buy stuff...so I can destroy Michael.

Jordan talks to Michael again and claims that his intuition is telling him that Mike and Michael are going to vote him out regardless. Michael says that until Jordan threw that out there he was totally on board with voting out Stacey, though he admits he has yet to speak with Mike. Jordan accuses Michael of planning on voting him out the entire time and tells him to go out and work on his social skills. Michael stops trying to convince him other wise and leaves him alone to theorize on the round.
There are only 5 votes this week, and 3 is enough to win majority since all the extra votes are between me and Eric. AKA WE RULE THE FUCKING HOUSE
Since I saved Mike, I am basically trying to guarantee his vote. 1 + 1 + 1 = 3. PERFECT. And since using the veto probably did not go too well with Jordan.....and since I barely talk to him.......why not use the opportunity to backdoor him and even up the numbers in this game. If Jordan leaves, then HoH is between Mike/Stacey vs. Jake/Robbie vs. Eric/me. Therefore, me or Eric need to win.....after that Mike or Stacey. The winds are changing. The only kink in this plan is Mike not trusting Eric at all. EVERYONE needs to stick to the plan. And I can't give away to mike that I am actually working with Eric. I mean, a guy's gotta have a fall back plan. Also, Eric got robbed.....ugh we wanted to buy a robber this week, which is why its even better that I got some veto money to start rebuilding my cash pile.
IF by some weird freak accident, Stacey is evicted, then I'm not too worried. I can blame the vote on mike and Eric....maybe. I doubt people would buy that. HOWEVER, that ISN’T gonna happen.

Then he changes his mind.
CHANGE OF PLANS: I guess I will evict Stacey and then start fresh with another alliance of me/Mike/Jordan this will be the resistance to Jake/Robbie/Ryan.....and of course, Eric is on my side. Still need to win HoH though....
You’d think he’d stop there, but no, yet another change of plans.
CHANGE OF CHANGE OF PLANS:
I'm sticking with my gut. Jordan freaked out over my indecision.....if only he knew I was like this every round. So he’s going hopefully.

Mike and Eric confirm that they are keeping Stacey. Apparently Jake and Robbie haven’t been let in on this yet, but Mike says if they ask he’ll tell them. (Editor’s Note: NO EYE ROLLS!!!)
Jake reconfirms that he isn’t going to vote Jordan out. Jordan tells Jake that Michael is playing him. Jake isn’t phased, claiming he already knew that. Eventually they come to the conclusion that Jordan is dead meat and Jake will be following him out the door. Jake points out that maybe working with Ray/Jay/Stacey would have been a better plan. Jordan’s outlook is pretty bleak.
Jay is gone and it kind of sucks because I know he was with me more than anyone else but I did what I had to do to stay out of the target zone and what good did that do me? Ryan won HoH and I already could tell this would be a lame ass week. He puts up Stacey and Mike like only a pussy would. He didn’t want to make a move against anyone with real power so he picks those two. I don’t even think he knows what he's doing really. He never shows up for vetos at all and is only around when it’s absolutely convenient for him. So the noms...Mike has more connections so it would seem like Stacey would go right? Wrong.
Michael wins veto and saves Mike. Naturally. So I'm the replacement which I already knew because I got it out of Ryan. I told him that someone had told me about it but that was a lie. I just said that so he would admit it himself and he did. Haha I tried to get the target off me but he obviously didn’t buy it so here I am on the block for the first time. I'm surprised it took these fools this long to do it to be honest.
Eric is pissed because of the robber and I’m pretty sure he suspects me but there’s no way he can prove it. I tried to dispel any suspicion away from myself and on to Stacey. Oops. I needed to do something to get his vote. Even though he is the shadiest fucker in this game. He thinks he is so damn smart but anyone with a brain and a pair of eyes can see that he's been trying to play all sides from day 1. It's time this guy gets his ass on the block. I know I actually lost money during the whole robber thing but I really don't care. I wanted to take him down a peg or two and I think I accomplished that.
Hopefully I have the votes to stay. I made a deal with Michael and explained where I was in the game. Of course since I know he's with Mike, I suggested that the 3 of us team up so we can have better odds of winning the next HoH. I hope he bought it. Each round, I’ve made a deal to secure my safety but now it seems as though my luck may run out. I’m not giving up but we'll see. The double vote and Eric's voider worry me though. Although I’m not sure someone has a double vote anymore. That may have just been Stacey's. We'll find out I guess.
I just need 3 votes and then it’s up to Ryan. But with Eric's voider, that could make things very interesting. I hope he doesn’t use it this round. Maybe he will be smart and realize he'll need it for later. It would be just great if I got Jake, Robbie, Michael and Mike to all keep me. That is wishful thinking but with some determination, effort and luck, I may come out of this okay. Either that or I’m completely delusional and I am screwed.

Ryan reflects on the round.
So my HOH run was a bit of a disaster. Of my two original nominees, neither went home. However, not all is bad news. Jordan going home is serendipitous because I know he never really trusted me, and I've never really trusted him. Plus, he's really good at the typing speed challenges, which are usually my forte. I mean, he types quite possibly faster than me, and I already type at 130 WPM. I should be unbeatable.
In the end, in a *INSERT VOTE COUNT* Jordan becomes the seventh person evicted.
Kinda shows where Ryan's loyalties lie. I must say. Ryan is still really naive about his alliances. I'm not used to seeing him in the non-controlling side of the game and yeah I think Survivor DOES suit him better.
