Week 8 - Diary Room

HOW THE HECK?  I'm seriously so happy!!!  I feel bad for Jess but I'm still here and Ryan probably just pooped his pants so life is good!  Now Nicole or I just needs to win Head of Household and it's pretty much a guarantee that we're in the Final Four!

As elated as I am to still be here, something very strange was going on last round.  Jerry told Nic and me that he and Donny discussed things, and that they were originally going to save Jess, but when we talked to Donny afterwards, he told us that he was always gonna be keeping me.  So who's telling the truth then, or are they both fibbing a little?   I mean did Jerry realize that he didn't have Donny's vote and then backtrack to save his own butt?  Or is Donny trying to cover up his own involvement in my almost eviction?  It's a toss up and I honestly don't know who to believe... I guess if I had to choose, I'd say that I believe Donny, but at the same time I feel like I legitimately did change Jerry's mind by convincing him that keeping Jess was a bad game move... ugh, it's impossible to know for sure.  At this point I only really trust Nicole anyway and it's the same old story: one of us girls needs to win Head of Household.

If we do win, I think that we have to play it safe this round and nominate Jerry and Ryan... it's our best bet if we both want to make it to the Final Four.  It would be such a nightmare if one of us girls got forced up onto the block because of a Jerry Veto win.  While I don't think that Jerry would save Ryan at this point, it's still too risky to even give him the chance of having that option.

I'm so freaking happy right now!  Nicole winning basically guarantees that we're both in the Final Four.  Jerry and Ryan are going up on the block and if Ryan takes himself down, we can decide between the two of us who we'd rather get rid of between Donny and Jerry.

So I think that Ryan could easily excel at this Veto... I mean it's almost comical at this point, how we can't get him out. These days I feel like I'm playing the game around Ryan rather than against him and my strategy has slowly adapted to adjust to all of that.  If Ryan is probably gonna be here regardless, taking up a spot first in the Final Four and then in the Final Three, I need to maneuver myself so that I'm at least one of the people still left standing here with him.  I know after our conversation the other day that Ryan would probably never take me to the end, and vice versa; we're both too threatened by each other to do something like that and I'm not proposing some sort of "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" type of arrangement or anything, but still, I feel like we'll be thorns in one another's side for at least a little bit longer and I've come to terms with that

Or I could just kill this Veto and we can call it a wrap?  Oh what's that, wishful thinking you say?  Well boo.

I'm bored so I decided to reminisce about some of this season's best moments using Disney GIFs:

<sub>When Heather met Nicole.


Move in night... in the Basket Bedroom?


Me, just being me.


Monika when she tried to get up on Jessie.


Nathan, at everyone.


Donny sleeping through the last Veto's deadline.


Jess saying that something confuses her.


Matt is lying about something, and shocker... we can all tell!


Not really Disney but... this pretty much sums up how the house meeting went.


Victoria doing Victoria things!


The Hang Ten Head of Household Competition!


Composed Danni.


Danni finds out she's being evicted... no longer composed.


Unamused Luisa (reacting to Ryan targeting her.)


Congratulations Ryan you have won the Biggest Biceps Power of Veto Competition!


Jerry being old.  


Caleb circa Big Brother 16.  Note the Amber cameo.


After I won Hang Ten and Kat and Victoria were trying to force me off my board... so annoying!


Nicole pumping herself up before comps!</sub>

Ryan winning wasn't a huge surprise but it still hit everyone else pretty hard... that is everyone except for me I guess.  I honestly didn't mind, in fact I preferred this outcome.  Maybe that makes me a horrible ally but whatever; it doesn't mean that I'm not still completely loyal to Nicole.  The thing is, it's getting to crunch time and I have to consider not only how I can get us to the Final Two, but also how I can get us there and still win the game myself.

Perception is everything right now and if Ryan hadn't won, Nicole would have, and while I know that I've played a great game, I can't have the jury thinking that Nicole carried me to the end by winning competitions for us.  

Maybe I like the adrenaline rush too, of having such a big obstacle still in my way.  The fact that Nicole, Ryan and I are all still here, and will be next week too... it's nuts.  I don't think that you could have scripted a storyline like this better.

So I feel super bad for Jerry, but the guy has to go.  It sucks too, because I'd honestly probably be leaning towards keeping him right now if it wasn't for the fact that he openly admitted to almost evicting me last round.  I can't take any chances, not right now, not at this stage in the game; it's just too risky.  Even if Jerry promised me the moon, I know now how good of a liar he can be, so as much as I've come to really like the guy, I have to cut him loose over Donny.  It's not that I necessarily think that Donny is any more trustworthy either, it's just that with Ryan saving himself, this is the the best shot for Nicole and me to make it through next week.
