DR Week Three
I knew Adam was switching teams in the hopes of winning HOH and nominating me and when we ended up together for the first time in the game I was determined to win the HOH. I had hoped for an endurance challenge but when the issues with Irene caused it to be put on hold I thought I was done for. Then I saw the challenge was puzzles. YAY !!! The one thing I am ok at. I am not the greatest in terms of speed but I spent the better part of 24 hours doing those puzzles over and over again. I had a hunch that not everyone would put their heart into winning it so I didn't worry too much about getting a great score on the first one but I spent many hours on the last three and thankfully it paid off.
My nominations should have been a no brainer but Barack seemed to be trying to get me to nominate Lolly along side Adam andthat created a bit of tension between us. There was a time when I would have taken his word as the gospel truth but these days I take everything he says with a grain of salt. Although he told me he would vote Adam out initially he seems to be vacillating now and I would not be surprised if he didn't come through. Hopefully the rest of the people that promised me will deliver.
When Kathy won the POV I was worried she might use it on Sean and in fact she asked me about it. I told her I was confident Sean would survive the vote, which I am, or I wouldn't have put him up in the first place. If Sean came down it would probably be an Adam vote, and Kathy would not vote Sean out so that is at least 2 votes that I would lose out of the 6. I didn't want to risk it and fortunately Kathy held true to her word and left my nominations in tact. Today I got an IM from Barack saying " you got what you wanted ". Its like he was angry about it. I want to trust him but it is pretty hard when he does stuff like that.
As for my alliance of Barack, James and Kathy saying together I am beginning to discover some cracks there. Kathy and James are solid but Barack expressed some reservations about James and Kathy asked me if I trusted Barack. I want to trust him 100% like I used to but he has come up with some odd statements. He was very upset at the thought of me leaving him with the HOH. In fact he told me if I did he would nominate me. Later he told me the reason he didnt want to win it was beause Adam would have insisted that he put me up. EXCUSE ME ? Since when did Barack have to take orders from anyone ? What's wrong with saying " I don't have any problem with Debra. She will never target me and she is always going to be a vote for me to stay " ? "
I love Barack and I want to trust him 100% but right now the best I can muster up is 75%. ( and I am stretching it there )
The people I really trust are Orlando and Mingin ( Mingin GIRL GIRL ? ) but they are both on the block. This is a lose/lose vote. I hate to lose either of them. Its like the first vote between Mingin and Adam. That one was brutal too. I chose Mingin in that one and it broke my heart. Especially when I saw how close it was. This time I hate to say it but I am probably going to have to evict my teddy bear Mikey. I love the guy and I trust him 100% but I feel the same way about Orlando. It comes down to the fact that I think Orlando is more likely to win comps to keep me safe. I am not saying Mingin won't, because he has been amazing and I have heaps of respect for him as a competitor. UGH this is a case of 6 in one, half a dozen in the other. I hate these choices.
