I Think He Swallowed the Definition of Schizophren

[Genie Lilly]

..ia. Too long of a title apparently haha! Anywho!

Marketplace purchases held by players:

1) Eric - Voider
2) Mike - Oops Sorry HoH (Used on Jake)
3) Jake - Replacer
4) Michael - Double Trouble
5) Michael - Cutting Edge
6) Stacey – Oops Sorry HoH

Last time in Agrabah…
• Michael overruled Ryan’s HoH reign
• Jake realized (Editor’s Note: Perhaps too late?!) that he was on the outs
• Jordan was evicted after much bullshitting and false promising

Nothing interesting happened before the HoH. So we’ll jump right in. It’s a really boring HoH. Chatroom endurance! Here’s Alex’s recap.

Ryan was ineligible as outgoing HoH.

Michael was a no show.

Jake was sat out.


They had to balance between different tasks, with a new task being given out randomly throughout the challenge.

Eric was first eliminated.
about 1 hr 30ish minutes.
2 tasks

Robbie was second eliminated.
about 1 hr 50ish minutes.
3 tasks

Stacey was third eliminated.
about 2 hr 55ish minutes.
6 tasks

Mike wins Head of Household!

The “nice guy” gig is up for Michael, and he knows it.

HAHAHAHA. The joke is up. It took them 8 rounds to figure out that I am running things around here. Now things should be VERY interesting to see play out. Fortunately, my gamble last round paid off and my pal MIKE won HoH. Best case scenario- love ya mike.

I believe people only found out because Jordan had a loud mouth after he saw my good-bye message, but whatever. Life is more interesting because of it. It was really getting boring watching everything flow smoothly...TOO smoothly- where's the challenge in that?

The one problem is that my secret comrade-in-arms Eric is getting off scot free, but I'm okay with that. I believe Eric is my ace of spades. My last card, haha. Watch out next week when I'm on the block and I stick around....better yet, I win HoH! If anybody should win the game, it should be Eric, Ryan, Mike (not in this particular order). Hence, my actions will try to further those three people in the game, even if it means sacrificing myself.

However I should have absolutely nothing to worry about this week as the Jake/Robbie/Ryan alliance will be split up with all the extra votes in me and Eric's possession. Although Jake has been the one to lead the charge against me, I wouldn't mind seeing him stick around. In fact, I'd rather keep him.

Eric reflects on the HoH.

Hmm, first of all, to America (Editor’s Note: This made me laugh, like, for real.) - I DIDN’T THROW THAT CHALLENGE! I’m happy mike won though, I got to sit for veto and I know I’m safe. If Michael won the next HOH that’s fine- but I NEED someone to get rid of one of my allies soon.

I like never having being nominated (I’m the only one) but that makes me a target I think unlike when I played in Japan when me, Andy AND Alex were never nominated until the final 4. I want Jake to stay here- but if he does he will have a shit ton of money, I think enough for the replacer.

Jake stirs some shit up with Mike.

Jake: Not that it matters, since your head seems to be firmly planted in Michael’s rectum…
Mike: Lol.
Jake: But Michael is trying to tell me you bought TWO oops HoH's. When that’s not possible and trying to cover up what he’s doing and pin it on you.

Jake then goes on to deny his connection with Robbie and points his finger at Michael, saying that Michael is controlling Mike without him even realizing. (Editor’s Note: This actually seems like a fair point after reading everything that’s been posted.) It goes on for a while, but Mike still seems set on putting up Robbie and Jake.

Jake laments his sad state.

Jordan left and it was really a bummer- because he was sadly probably the best ally I could have and I probably would have tried a little bit harder to win the veto. It was unanimous and I decided to take this moment to let Michael have it. I basically told him I know what he's doing, he's not fooling anyone and that I basically am going to do everything in my power to destroy him.

I want him to panic and piss his pants because he thinks he is the mastermind of the entire world...he is not. I was, as expected, sat out of the HoH competition and I took this opportunity to make up some lies about Michael on top of the truth about Michael. How I knew I was going to be sat out by Mike and that I knew me and Robbie were going to be put up. Mike seemed to by it to an extent, but meh, he knows Michael has no choice but to work with him.

The Head of Household competition began and when I heard it was endurance, I was kind of disappointed because I would have gone all night, and I would have won it, so Mike made a smart decision. My only for sure safety blanket for this round, was Robbie winning... and Robbie in his mind probably thinks he is safe and that he wont be nominated because people like him, and he is sadly mistaken. He is associated with me and if my ass is going down, and I get free, his ass is going to take the fall.

Eric loses first, big surprise, he is playing more sides and has so many different personalities, I think he swallowed the definition of schizophrenia rather than spitting it out. One down.....and Robbie is down, k, I see where this is going. Stacey is going to throw Head of Household to Mike and yeah, the prophecy will be fulfilled...

Lo and Behold, Stacey fucks up an hour after Robbie, and Mike, the ONE PERSON I COULD NOT AFFORD to win the competition, does...and I think... that's game set match for me.

Mike is rolling his eyes over Jake.

So, Jordan ended up getting evicted unanimously. I was surprised with how bitter he was when he left. I thought he would have taken it better for sure. And I honestly did contemplate keeping him. I wish he would have said he wanted to work together, because I definitely would have been down with that. But he never offered, so he had to go.


And now I'm the NEW Head of Householddd so the hosts can stop saying I've never won a competition. I actually thought about throwing it to Stacey when it came down to us, but then I realized I needed to win something so I just fought it out with her. And that was a really hard challenge to win. I mean...like 10 different things to do and a whole bunch of numbers...just wow.

I don’t think it’s a secret I’ve been going after Jake/Robbie, and now I have that chance. Both of them have a shitload of money and they’re both together. Of course both of them approached me. And they gave me a lot to think about. Both swore they weren’t together and it sucks that they’re being targeted because of it. But, let’s be real...2 votes, 2 people competing in challenges....it just needs to be split up. By doing this, I realize I'm probably doing Michael, Stacey, Ryan and Eric's dirty work, but whatever. I'll deal with that later on. My goal is just to split the two of them up. And really, I don’t care which one goes. I like Jake better, but him going is just as big as a win for me.

And both campaigned against Michael which was even more of an obvious sign that they’re together. They both had the same reasons for wanting me to put up Michael. Michael has been the hinky votes two times, he's been playing all sides, he's absolutely crazy. But they're just pushing me to not nominate him. If they want him out so bad, it means they don't want me out so keeping him here is definitely more beneficial to me. Plus, there’s not a chance in hell Id nominate Michael. He's the Chinese counterpart to the alliance. But, I did love hearing about all the shit he's been doing and he plays dumb. He's soooo smart.

Michael and Mike celebrate Mike’s win. Mike jokingly tells Michael he wants to backdoor him. Jake has evidently begged Mike to keep him, saying all kinds of things about Michael. Michael tells Mike he can tell Jake whatever he wants about him, it won’t change a thing. They end where they started – with Jake and Robbie going up. Mike informs Eric of this plan as well. Ryan tells Mike that he knows he’ll probably be up and it’s fine. He also assures him that as long as he isn’t up, if he happens to win the veto, he won’t use it.

Robbie congratulates Mike and assures him that while he is friends with Jake, Jake doesn’t speak for him and he is, in fact, closer to Eric. He then tells Mike that the one person in the game to watch out for is Michael, because he knows what he’s doing. Then they cry over the fact that they want Jordan in the game, despite the fact that they’ve just evicted him. Ha. Nominations time!

Welcome everyone to the nomination ceremony. Believe it or not, this was a hard decision. I definitely had a lot to think about and I appreciate every single one of you coming to talk to me. With that....



Stacey, you are safe


Eric, you are safe


Ryan, you are safe



Michael, you are safe



I have decided to nominate Jake and Robbie for eviction. The bottom line is that you're both friends. Essentially, you're two votes and with 7 people left, that is a deadly combo. I realize that other people here might have final 2 deals so they're also 2 votes, but they've managed to keep that hidden. This is also a respect thing because I do believe you're both threats in this game. You're great at competitions and you have a lot of money to use for marketplace items. This isn't personal, and I just hope you know that. Neither of you have ever lied to me and you've always been straight with me when you told me you were going to do something. I realize that by doing this I'm probably doing other people's dirty work, but I'll just have to suffer those consequences. Good luck with the Veto and this meeting is adjourned.

Now this veto is a super fun one. Oh yeah. We made them do a bunch of Flash challenges, but catch, it’s not just the score that matters. Convoluted and confusing instructions the poor players had to wade through…

Part One:

Below are ten flash games. Quite simply, over the weekend, work on these to get the best possible score you can. You will need to screenshot your scores and post them in your diary room in a thread titled "Veto #8." You may edit up until an hour before the second part of this challenge starts.

Part Two:

Only the top four highest ranked players will move on to round two. If there is a tie in the ranking, your scores will be totaled.

You will be facing off against each other person in the top four once.

With each matchup, a dice will be randomly rolled to see which flash game you will be competing with.

Also a dice will roll to see who goes first.

You will be told what the average score (of all the players that participated) was for the flash game.

Person One: will state "I bet I can get ___ score in this game."

Their ___ score must either be:
a) Their TRUE score.
or
b) Their BLUFF score, which has to be higher than their true score.

Person two may either...

a) Ask them to prove it.
or
b) Agree upon their score.
or
c) BLUFF a higher score.
or
d) State a TRUE score that is higher than what the first person stated.

If person two chooses option c or d...

Person One can...
a) Call their bluff
or
b) Agree upon their score.


Make sense? No? Read it again? Still no? Keep reading again.

Scoring:
If you state your true score and the person asks you to prove it, you will get 1 point.

If you state a true score and the person agrees to it, that person gets 1 point.

If you catch someone in a bluff, you get 5 points.

If you state a bluff and the person agrees to it, you get 5 points.


After all sixteen matchups are completed, the person with the most points win. If there is a tie, it'll go into tiebreaker.

Jake makes his stance on the challenge obvious.

I spend like an hour trying to get it through Mike's head that I will go if he nominates me... and he seemed to almost consider it, but backed down after consulting with the other half of his brain Stacey. Stacey doesn't want to have to get the blood on her hands- she basically wants him to do the dirty work for him.

Mike stands by this whole I DON'T WANT TO NOMINATE YOU GUYS, YOU HAVE BOTH BEEN LOYAL TO ME, BLAHBLAHBLAH spiel. He nominates us and he basically tells me that the worst case scenario is Ryan S winning. And he would ideally throw the veto to me if possible. He claims he doesn't want me to go, which leads me to believe he either wants Robbie's ass out or he wants to backdoor Ryan. It's to Mike's advantage to have me in the house because I have plenty of targets on my back from Michael and Stacey and fuck, maybe even Eric. If I stay, that's a free round for everyone.

If Robbie or Ryan win the veto- I will undoubtedly be evicted from the house. Mike wants me to win the veto and doesn't want to expose that card to the house. He is more intelligent then I had originally gave him credit for and I wish we would have been aligned earlier in the game because I would take him over the gossiping ninnies I have been associated with.

The first part of the veto competition- makes me want to commit suicide. It is my weakness. FLASH GAMES. I have to throw up or something. I mean, Kitten Cannon? Are these challenges inspired by Lilly's pussy? ... cat.

After all is said and done, Ryan, Michael, Jake and Mike end up in the top four, but Ryan doesn’t show at part two of veto. Also, I’d like to note that the winner of this veto won in a really, really odd manner…as in…the other person, by the rules, was guaranteed a win if they had done the opposite of what they did. (Does that even make sense? Basically I’m saying runner up looked like they threw.) Results!


Round One
Michael def Jake for 1 point.
Mike def Michael for 5 points.
Jake def Mike for 5 points.

Round Two
Michael def Jake for 1 point.
Mike def Michael for 5 points.
Jake def Mike for 5 points.

(I think...)

Jake/Mike - 10 points, Michael - 2 points



Tiebreaker
Jake def Mike for 5 points


Jake wins the VETO!

Something has finally gone Jake’s way!

I don't understand how I managed to make it to part 2 of this veto competition with my incredibly pitiful last minute scores. None of them are high enough to win the veto competition in my mind... since you have to bid up, all it takes is someone with a great score and they could get prove it points up and down the board.

The four best performers were Ryan- Michael- Myself- and Mike. How pathetic, I am embarrassed for all of them. How could you suck so much ass. If myself and Mike got into the top four...Ryan didn't show up, which made my odds of winning even better...

The challenge involved betting and it was going to be 2 rounds, the player with the most points wins.

Round 1 ends with Me and Mike tied, Michael in last.
Round 2 ends with Me and Mike tied, Michael out of contention.

I basically get thrown the competition, really Mike, all of your scores being even numbered? Not very sly. I win.... I WIN. I FUCKING WIN. BWAHAHAHAHA! *Stirs the cauldron* I will get you my pretty and your little dog too! *points at Michael*

Michael seems severely confused.

OKAYYYYY. I SMELL SOMETHING F-I-S-H-Y. Not to be too paranoid or whatever, but seriously Mike and Jake obviously had a deal going into the Veto Competition. It was supposed to be an EASY win for me and mike to keep the nominations the SAME. Something ain't right so now I'm watching those two. I threw the competition on purpose to Mike, but that might have been exactly what Jake/mike wanted to give Jake a life-saving win. To be honest, I might not even have evicted Jake anyway. He's a fun guy to have around.

The replacement was Ryan......okay, anybody could see that coming from a mile away. The only "good" thing about this is that the Robbie/Ryan pair is gonna be eliminated, and I think this was the plan all along. Unfortunately, I genuinely love both those guys which makes the decision to evict one of them that much harder.

Nonetheless, I have to do what's best for me (and to an extent Eric) in this game, and at this point, it seems to be evicting Robbie. It's also what Mike wants, but like the past couple of rounds, me and Eric will ultimately decide since we have the extra votes to back it up

Best veto ceremony ever.

Jake:I am vetoing myself, no shit sherlock!

Mike: Im gonna nominate Ryan. Sorry, but I dont really have a reason to nominate anyone else. I didnt expect the Veto to be used. Sorry.

ROBBIE OR RYAN?!?!

Jake is saddened by the certain eviction of Robbie.

Ryan goes up in my place and I learn that Mike will be evicting Robbie if the vote manages to tie and I am basically in a state of utter sadness because I know Robbie is going to leave and I am trying my best to be the positive coach cheering him on, the way he has been to me.

Ryan messages me trying to be like 'I know you're evicting me' and all of this crap, which he shouldn't make assumptions. I would only keep Robbie if I knew the majority of the house would keep him and I know they won't so I am not going to campaign for Robbie to stay to anyone. Ryan also comes clean to me with the fact that he has not trusted me, he thinks I have been shifty. HELLO POT, MEET THE BLACK KETTLE. I basically called him right back on his shit and he seemed confounded that I see right through his strategy.

If I align with Ryan, it's not because of any kind of strong friendship that I have with him. We are both weary of each other and might acknowledge the fact that we will need to stick together for the time being for mutual benefits. It's a very Alison/Jun type alliance where we both have a similar distain for each other, but if the other goes we are fucked.

Michael doesn’t want either nominee to leave.

I don't want to see either Robbie or Ryan to get evicted. However, Robbie has stated to me directly that if he wins HoH, both Eric and mike are going up for sure. Although he isn't going to put me up (and I don't really know where Ryan stands), those are two of my best allies going up and the numbers are dwindling, so I can't afford to take that risk. I also want to use the double vote as early as possible now that everyone knows I have it. It would certainly take the target off my back and help in avoiding the block in the future.



Eric's Jury List:
It's pretty interesting/funny how far ahead he has planned the game.....like up until the very end where he listed everyone's chance to win the game. According to him, the "win-potential" ranking is as follows:

1. Stacey beats everyone
Tied for 2nd - Jake and Robbie
Tied for 4th - Me and Eric (apparently we have the same chances)
6. Mike
7. Ryan

Therefore, Eric wants to keep Mike and Ryan around for being lower on the list. He must be keeping me around since he thinks he can beat me......yeah, right. Surprisingly enough, those were my plans anyways, so I just agreed to everything he said.

Mike tells Ryan that he’s probably staying and offers an explanation for his nomination.

Mike: He’s like a puzzle to me though. I don’t know where he falls with these people. Sorry I had to put you up. I didn’t really want it to come to that. I know you’re friends with Robbie though so I was trying to take away one of his votes.

He is, however, still wary of him.

Ryan thinks he’s slick. I know he’s teamed up with Eric too, so I don’t buy his "I need a replacement." Plus, I’m not even sure he’s safe, lol. Michael, Stacey, and Jake could have evicted him and he's out. I'll be a little annoyed, but whatever.

Too lazy to recap the eviction so you get a link instead…

Or if you want the short version. 4-0 goodbye Robbie!

Voting Reasons

Eric

I VOTE ROBBIE

Reasons to keep ROBBIE: if he doesnt show up to veto
Reasons to get rid of robbie: he is the biggest threat (i know this will show up as scaryman but i wrote threa t- this is really annoying me)

Reasons to keep RYAN: he'll be loyal
Reasons to get rid of Ryan: i have 3 final deals, i need to get rid of them eventually.

Jake

Robbie

I adore Robbie to pieces, at times during the game, yeah we feud like siblings or friendly ex boyfriends, but I love Robbie. I don't know how anyone couldn't like Robbie. Yeah he's stubborn and set in his ways, but he is very true to himself and that is probably the quality I most admire about Robbie. I know that if Robbie stays that without a doubt, I would not even be a blip on his radar and probably would be nominated along side him again in the future. It's beating a deadhorse trying to convince people that I am not with Robbie, I am, but not to the extent everyone thinks. Robbie leaving makes me less of a target because I am a lone wolf.


Ryan

Ryan is shady, Ryan thinks he is above the scheming and lying, or that's the image he is trying to project on to me, and it's not working. He thinks he is a little bit smoother then he actually is. I see him as someone who is going to be a really big threat, not necessarily to win, but a threat to be the goat everyone wants to go to the end with. I need Ryan on my side and voting to keep Robbie is a lost cause, but I feel like voting off Robbie makes me a pretty shitty friend cause it will look like I will vote off anyone to win. If I knew I could keep Robbie here, I would, but that is not really an option at this point.



I vote to evict ROBBIE

Michael


PROS to KEEP:

Robbie - GREAT GUY. He saved me the one week by talking Jay into using veto on myself. I need to repay the debt. He also talks to me as a person and not another player, always into the game.

Ryan - GREAT GUY. He is AZN. He is FLOATING and has mentioned in passing that he would keep me in the game. I feel bad for betraying him last week.


CONS to KEEP

Robbie - GREAT standing with everyone. Kudos. That's not even a CON lol.

Ryan - Has done some of the least in the game and may win for that. He has survived eviction so many times and will do it again against ANYONE--even me.


Love both of them right now, so this REALLY REALLY sucks.......Unfortunately, I have to do what's best for my standing in the game and that is the basis for my vote. I can only hope it might be a tie? Since I don't want to decide and choose between these two great people.


I vote to UNFORTUNATELY evict: [ROBBIE]

Mike

HoH.

Robbie

Nominated.

Ryan

Nominated.

Stacey

vote: Robbie

Reason: Hes leaving no matter what.

[Genie Lilly]

Musings From the Asian

Lol there's less and less things for me to talk about.

So to sum it all up...

Mike won HoH and nominated Robbie/Jake like he's been planning since pretty much day one.

The veto ends up being only with Mike, Jake, and Michael. Mike throws it to Jake so Jake can save himself, and Ryan goes up as the replacement.

Robbie unanimously goes home, which really upsets him.


New alliances? Mmm. I do believe that Mike and Michael are slowly growing apart. I think Michael is more inclined to be with Eric or Ryan cuz they might be 'easier to beat' in the end.

Since I don't know what to talk about I'll write about each of our final six.


Fun fact. Two of the final six have won SUX before. That makes it...1/3 of the people left remaining. HOW NEAT-O IS THAT?!


Eric - He continues to stay in a great spot in the middle. He has yet to be nominated this far into the game due to his middle-man stance. Of course everyone sees this, yet won't do anything about it.

It's a floaters game. Mostly.

Eric will continue to not try as hard in the challenges because frankly, Eric doesn't need to be making direct enemies right now. I will be very impressed if he can pull out a win this season.


Jake - He has come to surprise me and surpassed my expectations of him. His biggest strength is his social game and that's what I came to know and love about Jake since the last time I played in a game with him. My thoughts were 'who the fuck cares if he's a threat and will probably fuck me over down the road. He's easy to talk to and one of the more entertaining people left in this game. Fuck it. Let's take him further." That's what Jake needs to be making people do.


Mike - And here is the person that will be saying that. Mike I think has been looking for the perfect companion this game and after Steven left, wasn't sure where to put all of his trust into. He's starting to find out more and more about Michael's game as the rounds continue and things start to leak (aka Jake starts to poison his mind), and it's getting him to think more. Good for you, Mike! Especially since I felt Michael would be your doom. He wanted a companion in Jordan but that fell through last round. He's never fully trusted Eric. Him and Ryan don't get along. Stacey's well. She's Stacey. Jake is the only person left, and it'll be interesting to see if these guys ultimately pair up to get rid of the rest of the 'floaters' per se.


Michael - I'm going to say he is slowly getting the Kenny syndrome. Plays fairly low key in the beginning with some behind the scene moves, gets very far, then gets cocky and ousted. It broke my heart to see Kenny get voted out in Survivor: Gabon due to cockiness, and I think it may happen to Michael here. He has his alliances with Eric, Ryan, and Mike. What he needs to do is get rid of Jake pronto. After that he needs to spread some more seeds in their heads to make them go against each other. He needs to make people think that taking him to the end will be best for their game. I'm not completely sure where Michael's head is at right now. He needs to get decisive and have a set plan of action and stay away from wishy washyness.


Ryan - Who? Lol JK. I <3 Ryan; always have always will. He's probably the most oblivious as to everyone's relationships in this game, and that's due to the lack of social-ness with EVERYONE. But I mean...Ryan is the ultimate goat here. If he can start being more active, try too show up to more challenges, and talk to more of these people, yet still make himself a goat, Ryan can make it to the final easily. But I don't know how much he can rely on Michael and Eric. He too needs a solid plan of action.


Stacey - She's been on vaca for a bit so...MIA. She's been staying out of trouble ever since Jay went home and that spells out danger for the rest of the people here. She can EASILY continue sliding in to the very end and win the jury votes with her cutesyness. I'm not sure what she's going to do from here on out. Continue trusting Mike? It's not like she really talks to Michael, Eric, or Ryan, and her/Jake aren't on the kindest of terms right now.




Really at this point it's ANYONE'S game. With HoHs and Vetos, anything can happen. Especially with marketplace items close to expiring...

Mike still has a double.
Eric still has a voider.
Jake has the replacer if veto's used.
Stacey has a sit-out Veto. and HoH? i forget.


So predictions.

Going home: I'm going to pretend it's survivor. Easier to figure out.
Jake - since only Mike might possibly keep him.
Michael - might seem like a front runner?
Mike - same as above.
Stacey - too risky to bring to the finals
Ryan - hasn't done enough to make an impact in the game.
Eric - winner. ultimate floater. even better than Stacey this game.



Sure so that's mai prediction. OK TIME TO SLEEP BAI.
