WEEK 2: JOHNNY GETS ACT TOGETHER WITH CONFESIONALS

[Johnny Knoxville]

The Legacy of Noah

First I want to comment on the ending to last week. WHAT. THE. FUCK? How did neither Dianna nor Lindsay end up leaving? And how did the HoH who I genuinely enjoyed talking to go home? Is the universe aligned against me or something?

I am not upset that Lindsay stayed. She is the type of player to work hard in challenges and I can respect that. But Dianna staying was bullshit. She is so fucking lame and weak, and the sooner she leaves, the better.

I am kinda nervous because I feel like my social game is not where it should be right now. I think that I am KINDA in with a lot of people in this house. Mike, Brit, Bradley, Nicki and Adam all clearly like me. But Mike is the only one who I feel will last a long time and actually stay loyal to me. Everyone else who I am close to is either gonna be a target early or I feel might be playing me a little bit.

The part of my social game that REALLY concerns me is that I am not on speaking terms with Drew and Dianna. If they win somethins I would be SUCH an easy nomination for them. I guess I really need to start talking to them more.



PS. Sorry for the slow start with confessionals. Ive been busy. They will be more consistent in the future.

Dr Cooper Wins HoH

When Bradley won the HoH, I was ecstatic. I was really glad that someone who I am in good with won the HoH. Especially since I think that a surefire vote for me to stay in the game just... dissapeared.

Anyways, Bradley and I have a decent relationship. We genuinely do get along, but I think that he has people who he is closer to than me. At best, I suspect that I am a parachute for him. At worst, I could be seen as a threat. He has seen me played before, and despite my unfortunate performences in these challenges, he knows I can bring it when I feel that fire under my ass. But I think we are at least good for the short term.

So he nominates Britney and Christie. Not sure how I feel about that. I mean, I told him everything was good, cuz even though these nominations wouldn't have been my choices, I don't want to step on his toes. Christie being on the block is easy enough, and I wouldn't mind her going home this week. But the thing is, I don't know how likely that is to happen. I think the far more likely scenario is that Brit is gonna be evicted if she stays on the block, and I am not cool with that. That would be two people in a row that have left who are close with me.

Then there is also the factor that Brit is now gonna have a vendetta against him. I like Brit and want to be loyal to her, but I hope she doesn't expect that I will nominate him if I am HoH. Cuz I won't. Don't want to burn that bridge.

Since I am quietly close with both Brit and Brad, I have just been tyring to lay low. I told Bradley I approved of his decision, and I told Brit that I was annoyed that she was nominated. In a weird way, I guess both are kind of true because basically Bradley made the right decision for himself and I like when people don't bend to the wills of others during their HoH.

How do I think things might be shaping up right now?

I think Adam/Bradley are heavily aligned. This almost seems to b common knowledge among the house though.

I suspect Bradley/Kate because he helped her where it counted this week (A list/D list) and then gave her key to her last. I know he consulted me about when I would like to receive my key, and I said the middle. So I assume he might have consulted her about it as well, and if she wanted last key then maybe there is something to hide?

Nicki/Dianna are two people I have to assume are together based on the previous politics of BB Recycled.

I think both Mike and Britney are legitimately with me.

Sandra seems to be doing her own thing. I think she is gonna try and slide by for the early stage, and then pick an alliance that fits her best to take her to the end.

Sean is someone who I think does not necessarily have concrete alliances yet. I get the emotional player vibes from him, so I am going to try and win him over with loyalty. BTW I am not implying that it will be fake loyalty, there is just a dual purpose is all.

I think maybe Lindsay and Nicki might have made an agreement because of the veto action last week. But I am not sure on that one yet.

I think Christie is like barely involved in the game at all.

Drew might have someone, but most people consider him to be inactive.

Things Looking Grim

I am pretty sure that another ally of mine will be a casualty this week. It really sucks, and I do not want it to happen. But I really doubt there is any way of preventing it. The two people I could see leaving are Britney and Mike.

Britney could go because the veto will probably not be used on her. It might be by Kate if there is a backdoor plan for Mike, but otherwise, I think she stays on the block. If the nominations stay the same then I have a really hard time envisioning her staying. A lot of people want her out of this game and I don't think I could rally the votes. I think that Kate/Adam/Bradley/Nicki/Dianna would all be strong votes against her so all they would need is one more person and Bradley breaks the tie. I suppose its possible that she could secure the votes and Christie would leave, but I dunno I think she will self destruct and that saddens me.

Mike I really feel bad about because I kinda might have put him in harm's way. Basically, he told Adam last night the questions he asked. They were not about the prize. Sean and I worked on the challenge today and narrowed it down to a few options. So we each picked them and told him the possible options. Mike wins the power, and all of the sudden Adam is sketched out because he doesn't believe Mike would have had that lucky of a guess.

I would tell Adam the truth, but I don't want him knowing who I am close to in this game. I want to remain good with Adam, and telling him that I gave Mike the answer would just seem sketchy of me. I think I am a priority to him right now and that I wouldn't be if he knew that he wasn't to me at the beginning.

I would tell Mike, but I don't know what to say. And he hasn't been on yet for me to talk to him. If he goes and says something to them, he might still get put up but they will know someone leaked him information. If I am part of a small minority of people that know, I could really jeopardize my own position. I can see both Brad and Adam would be sensitive to that kinda thing.

UGH I wish there was more I could do.

And god damn I need to get off this damn D list. I cant believe I opted to stay on it when Noah offered to move me because I thought that all the placings changed based on the results of every competition. UGH I AM SO STUPID!!!

Wednesday January 12 - The Night The Game Took Off

Last night was such a mind fuck. SUCH A GODDAMN MINDFUCK. I feel like I am being stretched in every single direction possible right now. NONE of my allies are on board with eachother and they are all watching each other closely. I could probably do some work to try and smooth things over, but I feel like that would be overplaying my hand. It would become very clear to people that I am trying to work every angle possible. So I am keeping quiet and just taking things one step at a time.

First of all, before I give the deets from last night let me just say that I LOVE Adam. We have so much more in common than I originally thought. We are both philosophy majors that started in a Business degree for school. OK so that's mainly the thing we have in common, but I have never met anybody in my life who made that same switch that I did. We had a great convo last night and if I was doing my scoreboard today he would most definitely jump a bunch of ranks. If I unfortunately lose Mike, I would consider hooking up with Adam.

Anyways, so last night people came up with a plan to backdoor Mike. Adam I think came up with the plan. It was because Mike told him the qustions he asked and none of them were about the prize (which was true). So when Mike walked away with it, Adam wondered why he had been lied to. Thing is, he wasn't lied to. But I couldn't say anything because the truth is that Sean and I told Mike and I dont want people knowing that yet. So its a sticky situation, not only do I not want Mike to be nominated, but I also don't wanna be nominated myself, and that could happen if I screw this up.

Anyways, Adam spoke to Kate and Bradley about it, and they seemed pretty on board. To me this round is making it pretty clear that there is an alliance at least involving Adam, Bradley and Kate. I already suspected it, but now I am like 100% sure.

Later on in the evening, Sandra and I got to talking. They had been talking to her about the plan too, but she was not down for it. I didn't really take a strong position on the situation with her, but I did indicate that this move is not one I woud like to see happen. She wants Christie gone this round, which is the exact same thing I want, and she actually told A/B/K that she would vote to evict Christie over Mike. She even said it knowing she could still be a replacement nominee. Ballsy. I am impressed.

If Brit comes down and Mike goes up, I don't know what I am going to do. I will try to save Mike, but I have to do it in such a way that I dont lose Adam an Bradley in the future. I have already confirmed to those two that I would vote Mike out if he was nominated, but I don't actually think that I would so I would be saved a lot of trouble if he was not up.

If the vote comes down to Britney and Christie, I think Bradley would expect me to vote out Britney, but I havent really said shit about that scenario so it would be easier to evict Christie.

I really hope that Mike and Sean are online enough today for me to be able to put out this fire. I sent them a warning PM last night, which was half because I wanted them to save themsleves, but also because I did not want them to say something that would incriminate me. But let me be clear... I do not want to see Mike on the block.

And They All Lived Happily Ever After

So this afternoon, I was able to talk to a bunch of people. Things were not looking very good. It was all but confirmed Mike would be on the block, and it was shaping up to be a very divisive vote. I was not looking forward to the next 24 hours. So I leave for work today.

AND I COME BACK TO SOME SORT OF ALTERNATE REALITY WHERE MY BEST CASE SCENARIOS RANDOMLY JUST HAPPEN! SERIOUSLY IF THERE IS A GOD OUT THERE, HE JUST DID ME A HUGE FAVOUR! <3

Seriously I don't understand. I did nothing. NOTHING. Between the hours of 4 and 10 o'clock. And then SOMEHOW by the time that I came home, NEITHER of my allies were in jeopardy. AND I DIDN'T GET EXPOSED IN MY DOUBLE DEALING!

Like seriously I don't know what I did to deserve this, but things just worked out for me today. Its like the exact opposite of last week, where despite everything LOOKING to be perfect, an ally who was HoH goes home.

As the Dust Settles

So this whole controversy has actually brought me way closer with Adam. Like very, very close. We already got along great but now I trust him a lot more strategically. He was just kind of screwed over by Bradley, so I think he is looking for alternatives. I am a little concerned about his longevity in this game though, I think he will be in jeopardy the next few weeks. I feel bad that I am not being very honest with him, especially because it feels like he is being honest with me. But the thing is, I'm not being honest with anyone really.

I mean, I am not going to screw these people over, but I am still being discreet about where my loyalties lie. Part of the reason I am doing that is that I don't even really know where they lie at this point. I will cross those bridges when I come to them. I am going to have to take this game week by week, as I do not have a game plan right now except to keep my social game going.
