SON OF A FUCKING BITCH, I TAPPED THE ADVERT ACCIDENTALLY AND LOST MY RAD CONFESH, UGH

Round Seven -- Another Day, Another Christmas

I forgot to make a round title, so there's that. Jordan and I are up once again, seemingly as pawns to get Charles out, which is not unexpected in the slightest. I forsaw this coming ever since Gabriwho won HoH. So long as I don't go home, thus may be good for me -- now I have a third person to take revenge upon. Cass, Naomi, and Gabriwho. The worst part is that Gabriwho just expects me to okay with this. She hasn't said anything to me. Cass didn't, either, nor did Naomi. I can't tell if the three of them just don't care, are wimps, or if they're simply too stupid to try and smooth things over with me so I don't retaliate against them. I mean, I'm admittedly way more of a Survivor player, so maybe my gameplay opinion doesn't hold the same validity, but I'd imagine it's fairly similar in regards to an alliance throwing a stray vote on someone . . . and then not even bothering to acknowledge that it happened. I know if any of the three had just explained the situation or apologized to me for having to nominate me, I'd be way less likely to put them up. But as it is now, I'm going to put effort into winning an HoH up, and when I do, there'll be hell to pay. Ditto for Jordan, I'd imagine.

I'm going to try winning this PoV, but I'm not too good at word scrambles and such. I'm really hoping that one of my real allies pulls me off this time, because if I'm against Charley, my role as a pawn is solidified . . . or I get the boot. I've got to be super careful what I say to Charles this round, because if I'm him, I'm fishing for a screenshot.

[Tatiana]

Yay, Anawho won the Veto! Holy mother of shit, I thought Charley had it for a second there, and I was packing my bags already. It's bittersweet, though, because although I believe my relationship with Anawho to be positive, I honestly can't remember if I'm aligned with her or anything, LOL. 

I really want that damn PoV to be used on me this round, though, so I'm going to try asking Anawho to use it on me somehow. Steffy says she "heard" the powers that be want to have Jordan remain on the block this time, so I guess we'll see how that goes. I told Charley this a few days ago, mostly in hopes that he'll be less likely to try and, like, preemptively strike at me when there's no need to.

Also wow, I didn't know Gabe was a PW! That makes the Keri paranoi super awkward, actually. But fuck it, hey Gabe! Good luck in Twisted AS, I guess!

Yeah I'm the OG inactive comp beast in SS history. Thanks though! GL game wise, not sure why any sort of Keri "paranoi" would be awkward tho.

Whoops, I accidentally left the A put of paranoia! Boy, am I sure glad you caught that!

So, I'm pretty sleepy at the moment, but I'm fairly sure something's up with Anawho. She keeps saying how she wished I'd won the veto, which definitely implies that I'm not coming off after all. It also sort of implies that the decision was already made before the Veto was won, but maybe that's my sleepiness talking there. My bigger worry is that Charley could be coming off, due to Anawho's weird response to me telling her there's no bad blood if she takes Jordan off. In that case, I'm not sure I'm going to have time to flip a locked vote since I've got shit tomorrow, and then I've got even more shit on Wednesday, when I'm finally going to be seeing Star Wars. Fucking hopefully. Still, I'll put in effort, as per usual, but my outlook is once again cynical.

Round Eight -- Tatiawho?

So, I pretty much disappeared for a while. I don't think I've really spoken to anyone much for the last few days, aside from maybe Steffy and Charles. It's too bad about him leaving. I don't usually feel bad about anything in these things, but I did sort of consider sabotaging myself in hopes that he could stay over me. I know he was really fighting to stay, and I've just been dragging my feet that whole round. Maybe that's why I'm still here? I feel like, if I were someone else, I'd much prefer to keep a target like Charley over myself if my position really is of the "kind, quiet person". Is me staying an indication of that? That nobody is really coming after me at the moment? Aside from the stray vote, perhaps. 

I'm sort of like a Cochran when it comes to Big Brother. If I'm even on the block, I freak out. I hate it. I really need to win an HoH soon in order to actually establish myself as an actually entity in this game so I dont keep getting put up as a pawn . . . but I'm also being told that there's a tight majority running shit. Steffy is supposedly in this majority, along with JJ, so maybe I'm not in immediate danger at the moment. Naomi keeps trying to talk to me (I say try because we don't seem to conversate well for whatever reason), so maybe that means she wants me on her side when the bomb squad inevitable implodes? The question then is when? If I continue the Mother Tatresa persona, can I scrape by long enough to take part in the chaos? I think that'd be the perfect time to start playing aggressively. Or the pawn goes home before then.

On the other hand, I haven't really been talking to anyone, so my game information could be absolute shit, really. They may have turned on each other already and I wouldn't even know, LOL. Still, I need some form of set gameplan to follow or I'll go nuts. I'm not used to playing this UTR at all, and it makes me antsy as fuck. My plan for the first half of this round is to pretty much build my relation ship with Steffy, and maybe JJ. Man, Steffy is pretty much my only ally left, it's horrible. I'm poisonous. If the pattern goes on, that means RIP Steffy this round.

But how fucking cool would it be for Charles to come back in as well as win HoH? That's all it'll take, I think. One round where the majority isn't safe , and bam -- cue the panicked scrambling and shameless bus throwing. I'd sure love to see that! 

By the way, I saw Star Wars the other day, and it was pretty good. 8/10, would recommend to fellow nerds. 

[Tatiana]

So, Kota is back, wins HoH, aaaannnnnnd he won't talk to me. Ugh. I'm really hoping he's going to take an actual shot at the majority, because if he puts someone like me up as a "pawn" against someone like Naomi, my facepalm shall be heard from one side of warehouse to the other. On the other hand, if he's actually smart, he's looking for a safety net for the next round. My assumption is that whoever tells him about the dynamics, and ergo tells him who to put up will serve as this safety net. Kota could play dumb, claiming to have been manipulated into putting up Cass, Gabrielle, and Naomi. Conversely, he could say the same in regards to putting up Dexter, Jordan, and I, in which case he really would be dumb. I'm really hoping he's not dumb.

I've been hoping someone else would serve as the safety net instead if me. I've waited a bit to attempt to probe for information, but yeah, he's not replying to me, so I don't know what's going to happen. Dexter is someone who tried convincing me to go after the majority if I won HoH, so my fingers are crossed that he did the same with Kota this round.

Also as a side note, if Steffy is who I thought she was earlier on, it is so damn weird that we're getting along in this game, lol.

[Tatiana]

Looks like Kota has decided to use Jordan and I as "pawns" while the majority still has the . . . majority to control the vote. GG, 10/10 gameplay. My facepalm has not only been heard within the Warehouse, but all throughout the land of Secret Story, as well.

I'm probably going to pull another disappearing act this week, because my brain really can't take much of being surrounded by 8 or so Chef Joes without constant breaks. I honestly think this might be the dumbest group of people I've ever played an ORG with. I'm pretty much just going to try to win the Veto, because I'm not sure I care enough to do much else if I don't.

[Tatiana]

Good evening, sirs and Maladys! This is an announcement regarding the PoV I won. Ahem . . . SUCK ON THAT, KOTA AND WHOEVER ELSE! That is all. Except not really.

I'm pretty psyched about this win. I was hopping up and down in my living room like an idiot when I heard I'd won. I rarely win shit in ORGs, obviously. I'm not actually upset at Kota per-say, but rather annoyed. If his plan was to backdoor someone like Naomi, he was kind of dumb to put two pawns up at the start, even if the target really does end up going home. Would have been more efficacious for him to stick Cass and Gabriwhoever up from the start, let them freak out and throw people under the bus to him, and then backdoor whoever after, using the bus throwing to keep him safe the round after. That, or he's working with the majority now, meaning he's just as dumb. He would be "That guy we don't trust who can also win comps", which means we could be seeing a revolving door ASAP. This replacement nomination will confirm which route he's chosen to take, and I'm pretty interested to see what he's going to do.

With this comp win, I may also become "That guy we don't trust who can win comps", but the difference is that there won't be another endurance competition for a while, so Kota is a way bigger target, hopefully. Again, not that I want him out, but rather if he's going to be dumb and wimpy, no TittyTears shall be shed at his second going.

The fact that almost no one participated in the Veto comp with two "pawns" on the block sketches me out so much.  Do they all think they're safe? Why?
