This clan bullshit is out to kill me personally. I get put on a team with DION? Why do the hosts want me dead.

A lot has happened. Dion continues to get through by the skin of his teeth, and Charley is so annoying, in my opinion. He has a secret prize too, which worries me a lot. Proper confessional coming soon-ish.

[Flint]

This week as an overall experience has been like...I can't even find a word to describe it. I guess starting from the beginning, the anxiety for everyone in this game probably shot through the roof when Jordan won Captain out of fucking NOWHERE. Seriously, I don't think Jordan has so much as an acquaintance in this game due to her only ever being around at like...three o'clock in the morning. To top matters off, Zarine went and got removed, so the easy week that everyone had ahead of them was completely demolished. I think it's fair to think that everyone in this game thought that they were going up on the block this week because I don't even think Jordan so much as SPOKE to anyone about her nominations. I was almost certain that I was being put up because I was talking to Jordan before she made her choices, and she straight up ignored me for two hours, only for her to put up...Ana, Dion, and Charley? We haven't spoken since, and I really don't care to because the girl is a fucking awful conversationalist. She gives you nothing to work with, so the conversation just dies unless you want to carry it all yourself, and that is just awkward.

The noms themselves are almost perfect. I would have put up Charley had I won this week. I can't put up Dion, but him going up was ideal because I hate his stupid ass. Ana being nominated is less than ideal because I like her and I personally would have chosen Apollo over her, but you win some you lose some. Then the GC started, and I made the stupid mistake of telling Ana I would save her if I won it. I mean, honestly she's the person I would most WANT to save, but it would probably look shady as hell for me to save her over Dion since Dion is actually in my clan right now and Ana is not. So I threw it and intentionally lowballed my guess. Only maybe I should have put more effort in because DION won the Cross, which is when this real whiplash started, 

To really get into all of this, I think that it's important to note that Steffy and I have grown very close over the past few days. Jihee was the one who brought us together and the two of us have really gotten to talking a lot, and I can safely say that she's now my number one ally because we unearthed that Dion, Jihee, and Cass have all made us feel pretty important to their games just by comparing notes. I think it's stupid that these people are trying to play every single side in this game right now because like...people talk? I haven't given anyone the impression that they're my favorite except Steffy (and Cass, but that's a tiny bit of manipulation on my part. I want her to think that I'm playing into her hand right now and it's awkward because I still LIKE Cass and want to work with her, but I know I need to walk on eggshells a little bit around her). But the revelations that Steffy and I have come across this week almost completely by accident just by talking about people have been really eye opening. I would say that she's the only person I trust 100% in this game right now, but that could change in the future!

Right now, the Dragna clan is basically a Cold War of Steffy and I vs. Jihee and Dion because we both want very different things out of this vote. After Dion won the Cross, he tried to make a case for Charley to stay, which Jihee IMMEDIATELY backed up. I think these two are hilariously bad players because the arguments they gave respectively were "he's a good friend" and "he's the first person I spoke to when the game started." Like try being a little more blatant about saying you're aligned with his boring ass, maybe? That raised a ton of alarm bells in my head, so naturally I immediately wanted Charley out. I ran to Ana and Cass to bitch about it, and we were freaking out about the votes (which was pretty unnecessary in my opinion considering Steffy has a double vote). I was worried the vote was gonna tie and the game would be left up to JORDAN of all people, but then the impossible happened.

Dion told everyone that he was going to save Charley with the Cross. Who knows if he's actually going to, but 90% of me hopes that he does because is he seriously stupid enough to Marcellas himself for Charley in WEEK THREE? It's bizarre to think about, but I really hope it happens. It gives Ana a way better chance to stay in this game, and I would happily vote Dion out because I think he is very well connected and probably the goat for a lot of alliances out there. I think Jihee is in a similar position too. No matter what happens this week, I think the vote is gonna divide us up into sides, which is always and never fun. I'm nervous but excited. It feels like the game is really starting finally.

Anyway! Cast assessment time:

My right hand man, my confidant, my silly rabbit. I seriously love Steffy, and it's interesting how well we've clicked in the past few days and how she went from being a nobody in my estimation to being the only person I fully trust. I really don't think she's playing me either, because she comes across weirdly earnest and really informs me of information that I wasn't entirely privy to beforehand. I think it's hilarious that Jihee brought us together and now the two of us are COMPLETELY against her now, though. I'm hoping to go deep into the game with her.


Who? He has like...all the disadvantages from the GC. I really hope he isn't long for this game because I even think Jordan puts in more effort than he does, which is still so funny to me. 


The only relatively active person that I don't talk to at all. Maybe that's stupid, but half of me wants to say that it's deliberate. I always make the mistake of being everyone's friend and that's always what puts the final nail in my coffin in the mid-Jury stage of these games, so maybe I need to make a few people wary of me so I don't come across like this huge threat all the time. She seems nice enough, and I was surprised that she didn't pass the punishment along to me. That social game, Apollo...


Grouping these two together because I have basically the same feelings about both of them and I think that they're aligned, if loosely. They're people I'm interested in working with going forward, my ideal alliance is these two and Steffy and I. I think that alliance could do a lot of damage, but it's hard to trust either of them fully. I think Ana has less options that Cass does at this point, so I'm opting to trust her more, but my relationship with Cass is slightly stronger. It's a weird situation, and Steffy is super wary of them at the moment, but I feel like they're definitely the way to go in terms of picking a side because I can at least have a conversation with them.


I need to reconnect with her! She and I had some good talks last week before the vote and I generally enjoy talking to her. I've sort of flopped recently because of finals and all that but I think that just contributes to the vaguely UTR game I'm trying to play. I think I'll try asking her about the vote after the GC ceremony, but who really knows where her head is at. I still suspect she and Ana are aligned since Ana was so adamant in saving her last round.


Dion and Jihee put this girl on BLAST last night after the whole GC fiasco, and the ironic thing is it made me like her more because Jihee and Dion suck. I talked to her about what happened with her falling out with Dion to get her side of the story, and she basically confirmed that he's going to save Charley and Marcellas himself. Oh well! I can see Noemi going far in this game, and I think she has a good personality. I'm just trying to hold back trying to bond too closely with her because I think she's going to be a threat going forward.


Die. So glad you're going to get yours this week with any luck.


Talking with JJ is so fucking exhausting. Sometimes he gives you paragraphs in response and sometimes you just get a "yeah lol." I hate it, and I really don't think I can trust him whatsoever. I think he could be involved with Dion/Charley but I don't really have anything to confirm that. It's just a vibe I'm getting.


Kota has dropped off the face of the earth. It's weird! I know I said he should probably go UTR for a week or two, but I didn't mean vanish entirely. Hopefully he pops up soon because I enjoyed having him as a lifeline in case things get hairy.


Learn how to have a conversation. She played her HOH so bad and did nothing to improve her position. Will likely go up and get voted out next week unless she Jen Johnson's her way to the end, which would be pretty funny.





I'm onto this girl. All trust and goodwill between us has virtually vanished by this point and I'm not even sure she's aware. Hopefully she's dunzo sooner rather than later.


This guy needs to learn how to have a social game. Assuming I'm gonna save you in our second conversation ever--WHEN YOU IGNORED ME FOR TWO WEEKS AND ONLY STARTED TALKING TO ME WHEN YOU LEARNED YOU WERE UP ON THE BLOCK--is really fucking bad gameplay. Try not to be so transparent. I trust him less than I trust Dion and Jihee, which is saying something.

Okay I gotta go write a final now. I should have been studying but I wanna do well in this game really bad. Bye.

[Flint]

Dion is so fucking dumb. We only need 5 people to evict him this week thanks to Steffy's double vote. Say goodbye, you fucker.

[Flint]

I have a bad feeling. Fingers crossed.
