Week 4

[Shane Meaney]

Fuck it...

[Shane Meaney]

I didn't want HOH this week, I just wanted to make sure certain people didn't win. Towards the end of the comp...Robert, Marcellas, and myself starting working together to eliminate people. Both Hardy and Robert really wanted HOH so as long as it came down to us three it didnt matter. Late at night, i felt myself getting pretty tired. I wanted to eliminate Marcellas before I went to bed, just to be sure he was out. After telling robert this, he decided to eliminate one of my heads instead, leaving me to do the dirty work of eliminating marcellas. I think this suggests that those two are working together. I didn't feel comfortable with giving robert the power, but i was so tired i didn't have any more fight to stay up.

Waking up this morning i was shocked to discover that i still had 4 faces left. Hardy and robert got into a war eliminating each other, leaving me completely untouched. I had 4 left, hardy had 1 and danielle had 1. As much as i wanted hardy to get hoh, throwing this hoh would have been to obvious. I took the two faces out leaving me the last one standing.

As far as this week goes, I want Natalie gone...BUT marcellas and robert caught my eye last night. I might need to find a way to split these two up.

[Shane Meaney]

The wheel has been spun...Co-HOH. And what do you know, Natalie gets it! Believe it or not, I'm actually kind of glad this happened. Everyone in this house wants Natalie gone, but she has shown no hostility towards myself. If I don't think she's coming after me...why would I waste my hoh getting her out? As long as she stays, thats another person with a bigger target than me.

Naw, I'd rather take this chance to get rid of someone I don't trust. Marcellas is my target this week. Its so obvious that him and Robert are working together. I'd rather kill that alliance right now, so I know Robert doesn't have any other option but to stay with us.

[Shane Meaney]

Robert and I talked for awhile about what should be done this week. After it was announced that Natalie would be co-hoh, robert said plan b should be to get rid of roddy or kara.

You're kidding right? Try not to make your alliance with marcellas too obvious.

There was also the plan of disagreeing on the nominations/replacement
If me and natalie don't agree then we both go up. Although this is incredibly risky, it would be a huge move. As big of a move it may be, i just don't like the risk that comes along with it. I don't need to make a big move right now, all that does is put a bigger target on my back. Sorry Robert, get someone else to do your dirty work.

[Shane Meaney]

Who would have thought that the week I get HOH was going to be the hardest week yet.
I've come to the realization that no matter what I do, someone's gonna be mad. I just need to suck it up and do whats best for my game.

Big Brother is like a garden and the house guests are like seeds. You have to constantly check up on them and try to figure out how their doing. If you leave one alone for too long it might turn out to be a weed. You have to learn when its the right time to pull a weed out, or let a dying seed finally go. Its about control, and doing whats right for the whole garden. My garden.

[Shane Meaney]

In the end, I had to nominate Marcellas and Hardy. Natalie wanted Hardy on a silver platter and for god sakes it was 8 30 am so i didnt have much energy to argue...

Whether it was Wil or Hardy is unimportant. Marcellas should be voted out in both scenarios.

[Shane Meaney]

Since nominations, this place has been like a ghost town. I don't get it. Not even a thank you from the houseguests I didn't nominate.

This make me very nervous. No news is bad news. If everyone is unhappy with my nominations, then thats going to effect me very negatively next week in this game.

Ugh, I just want to do veto so I can try and seal the deal for getting Marcellas out.

[Shane Meaney]

Ugh the veto is Give up. This is the perfect veto for Marcellas, he has nothing to lose!!! If he wins the veto, he is going to put me into a sticky situation.

[Shane Meaney]

So Marcellas just won the desperate Veto (oops i mean give up veto) Luckly I wont be suffering any punishments while hes going to have to sit out of 3 hoh comps, auto nommed 3 times and sit out of 3 povs. Gee, wonder if thats going to hurt him.

Who is going up as his replacement? Good freaking question.

[Shane Meaney]

I'm really worried about these nominations. I know this week i've pretty much declared Marcellas an enemy. If I nom someone and they stay over hardy...thats two enemies!

People that I'm considering as the replacement: Wil (Natalies first choice) Ian (potentially working with Natalie, Hardy wants Ian out) Robert (Playing many sides IMO) Kara (Haven't talked in awhile, dont know where shes at)

Then theres the backdoor Natalie plan. Doing this could put me at a serious risk BUT it could restore my image to the house. I don't know if I want to be making these big moves. Also, with Natalie in the house, thats a huge target remaining in the game. Marcellas is going to be auto nommed 3 times so getting rid of him will be easy too...

I just have to make sure that Hardy will stay over the person that gets put up.

[Shane Meaney]

Marcellas
so what are you thinking about Robert?

Shane
ive talked to him a lot
but hes not very talkative
so i dont know where his heads at

Marcellas
yea he been ignoring me that last couple of days

Shane
same
he only talks when he wants to talk game


Marcellas
which is grating on my nerves
I agree
and I like the kid

Shane
me too. i just get worried that if hes talking to game with everyone, then how do we now where his loyalties lie?
talking game*

Marcellas
valid point
we can't know for sure

Shane
yea, i dont wanna put him up
hes a cool guy, just gotta be careful


What I'm doing here is trying to create some doubt in Robert with Marcellas. If I don't put up Robert this week, then I need to damage there connection as much as I can.


Also found out that Nat told Marcellas I was after him (like he couldn't put 2 and 2 together already) I'm just like...really? You're going to allign yourself with the guy who cant do anything for 3 weeks. W/E

I think I've come to the conclusion that getting rid of Ian is best for right now, I just have to try and get natalie to agree on it. If I can convince Natalie that Hardy is the one going, and that the only way to insure the vote is to put up someone likeable (Ian) then maybe I can trick her into putting him up.

Fingers crossed

[James Rhine]

Chenbot would like to know where your loyalty's lie. Though you have many DR entries, they are somewhat convoluted in us understanding who you're actually trying to protect.

If you could do some sort of ranking of your like/dislike or rather loyal/disloyal views of the houseguests, Chenbot would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!

[Shane Meaney]

Sorry for the confusion.

9. Marcellas- I don't trust Marcellas at all. We've been talking at lot and he says that hes ok with me putting him up, which I don't believe he is. The fact that he cant compete for 3 weeks though makes him a small threat. Still, I need him to go asap.

8. Natalie- If Natalie wasn't Co-HOH, she would be going home this week. Shes a great competitor but she steps on peoples toes a lot. She told Marcellas I was gunning for him, so i obviously can trust her with anything.

7. Ian- Even though Ian is a Hot, I don't trust him that much. He always talks about doing whats right for the alliance, but I believe he is working others in the house. I believe him and Natalie might be working together.

6. Wil- The other Hot member that I'm not very loyal too. He seemed like he was very loyal to the Hots until he did something that seemed a bit off. When he used the Coup, he put up Robert/Jojo. Why wouldn't he put up Roddy/Kara to insure that someone from the Non-Hots would go home. Does this mean hes working with Roddy or Kara?

5. Kara- Even though I've had a lot of good conversations with Kara, shes not online very often. I think her game right now is just to float by. I'm going to need her for her vote but I feel like shes going to be very dangerous late game.

4. Robert- My opinion of Robert flips everyday. Hes so back and forth. Sometimes I think he really wants to take me to the end, other times I feel like hes playing the whole house. I know for a fact hes working with Marcellas, thats why I wanted M out; to prevent robert from having too much power. Robert scares me, but hes a good ally. I don't know how long I can keep him in this game.

3. Roddy- When Roddy and I finally started talking, we immediately hit it off. He seems pretty loyal to me, and I don't think hes really working with anyone else. Great Ally

2. Hardy- Wears his heart on his sleeve. Hardy is very emotional I think, this is a good AND bad thing. Its good, because I know how loyal he is to me, I know that he would do anything to have my back. The problem though is that he is reckless. If he hadn't bad mouth Nat at nominations, he probably wouldn't be in the situation that hes in. I truly believe Hardy would take me to the end. I don't know if I can beat him though.

1. Dani- My number one ally. She listens to everything I say and as done everything I told her to do. Shes active, funny, and really easy to talk to. She will hands down take me to the end and I think I can beat her too.


Right now my top 3 closest allies are Roddy, Hardy and Dani. I'm not loyal to the Hots at all. If I can get Ian, Nat, and Marcellas out in the next 3 weeks. I feel like im in a great spot. Robert is a double edge sword. I need him as an ally but I know he can be very dangerous at the same time. Keep your enemies closer.

[Shane Meaney]

I got Natalie to agree to put up Ian which is awesome. Ian is a huge threat and that chaos of him leaving might help me dig underground after this week is over. Ian offered a f4 deal with me dani and nat ( i knew they were working together) and although it is tempting i do believe keeping hardy over ian will help my game more.

[Shane Meaney]

In case of a tie i vote to evict Hardy

If something goes wrong and its a tie. I cant take the risk of Ian staying knowing I'd betray him. I would like to fall back on that f4 deal if i can.
