Will post more later but for now, I'm a bit happy because it's 10:00 and no MVP nominee was not posted. If that prize was not claimed (or they just don't nominate someone), that makes this round so much easier.

WELP

So my allies voted for Ronnie so that he would have more votes than me since the other side was splitting. Not happy about losing Ronnie but there's not much I can do. Auction means a chance for the other side to get lucky again with some more fun stuff. I'll just cover all the prizes.

Exile- Jerri told me that she got this and wants to use it next round once someone from my side goes this round to make it 5-4 with her on our side and someone on their side exiled but then Zmanda apparently told Kim that Jerri told her (Zmanda) that she wants to use it this round on one of us to make sure everything stays calm. I don't get the point in lying to us since she has the majority either way and it seems like a dumb lie to tell their side because when you don't use it this round, you get exposed. Idk. Jerri is such a wild card at this point.

Challenge Disadvantge- Useless prize that Kmanda got. Whoopdie fucking do.

Challenge Advantage- Useless prize that Monica got. Whoopdie fucking do.

HoH- Of course Sierra who got the white potion last round gets this. Why wouldn't the leader of the opposition be the luckiest player in the game? So yeah she gets to send one of my allies home this round. She's been mentioning for a few rounds now that she wants to work with me but has yet to have a chance to prove it. She told me to idol last round so that she could vote for me to blend in and said that it's good I got the immunity this round so she doesn't have to look suspicious when she doesn't put me up. Idk how real it is. It seems obvious that she's not being truthful but it also burns a jury vote hardcore if she keeps saying this just to backstab me. She could try the strategy of me going where it's not directly her fault so she still gets my vote but that seems a bit crazy to try to go for. Who knows.

Idol- I bid on this but someone apparently bid more. My guess is either Erik or Jerri. Erik claims to have bid a small amount on it which is possible. The only other possibility then is that Jerri did 50/50 on this and Prize 1 and since Kmanda and I both did 49 on those two, she made out. It's also technically possible that Heather did 50/50 on this and #8. The most likely one seems to be the Jerri one but either way, someone against me has an idol. FML.

Immunity- This game has pretty much turned into "Finding Random Ways to Keep Eric Safe but Making Sure an Ally Goes Home." I'm thankful that I got immunity in a round where I 100% would be going home but it still sucks since Monica, Kim, and Kmanda are all vulnerable and nominated. I just need to worry about making sure I stay safe every round and as happy as I should be about this, it's bittersweet. I really just wish people would wake up in this game and realize that keeping someone like me puts a target before you. I'm the Audrey of this game (at least in the sense that I'm everyone's target) and voting me out is dumb because then you become the next target. But everyone's dumb, what are you gonna do? I'm safe so that's cool.

Pinata Prize List- Kim won it and figured stuff out but since she's seeing me as shady recently for no real reason whatsoever and has sort of been ignoring me (I guess because she assumes I'll be going soon anyway), she didn't share much about her results. Idols are where they are and I think if she found something big, she would've mentioned it.

MVP- Heather won it and basically gave Sierra a third nominee. It just guaranteed that my three allies would be up there.

Power of Veto- Mike's safe. Cool.

5 Candies- Supposedly Erik got this and supposedly he can't do much with it because he still doesn't have enough candies for an idol. Seems unlikely considering he and Zmanda both got a pinata 2 rounds ago but whatever. Again idols are where they are and I really just need to play as if they don't exist at this point because I'm playing from behind anyways.

So that's everything. Nominations were straightforward for obvious reasons. I'll get into some more stuff regarding the vote and do my Episode 11 writeup tomorrow but basically my only hope is that everyone hates Heather more than they hate me which has to be a hard thing to do right now.

Just visited the Epic 3 board. *sigh* I miss when I was running things there. Why does everything suck for me in this game? I was so forced to play big because of my huge target just because people know I'm a good player? I guess. It just sucks.

Ughhh. Ok I have a lot to update but I'm a bit busy atm and have this challenge starting soon. I'll update when I get a chance.

Ronnie is now gone as is Sundra. Both sides lose a number but we actually lost three more because Jeremiah, Heather, and Jerri all flipped. So it is now 6 against 5. If we win HoH, this game is in reach again. We can even the numbers. But instead of the challenge requiring any real skill or strategy, it’s an auction. So we found out that Heather was bidding $100 on 8 and Jeremiah was bidding $100 on 10. Mike and Monica publicly “claimed” 9 and 3 respectively. I was hoping to figure out what Erik, Zmanda, and Sierra were doing through Kim and Kmanda but neither were able to do much so Kim, Kmanda, and I guessed and split our bets on two prizes each.

I already went through all of the individual prizes but just as a general feeling, my side was feeling pretty down and out. We pretty much got all the crappy prizes we bid on and missed out on the good ones. Kmanda got a challenge disadvantage instead of an exiler that could give us numbers or one of us immunity. Monica just got a challenge advantage. Kim got a piñata prize list that was pretty useless instead of HoH. I got immunity for one round instead of an idol I could use whenever that would give me power. Mike got PoV which he was forced into using and the one prize where two of them cancelled each other out, Erik still got it. It sucked and now since Heather was MVP three of us were going up.

Heather hates Kim because Kim never talks to her so Kim is going up. Sierra now has three choices and since she wants to work something with Kim and Kmanda, it makes sense to put up Mike and Monica. But, and this is the kicker, IF Mike vetoes, Kmanda is going up as the replacement. She doesn’t want to but if he does, she has no choice. EXCUSE ME?!?! YOU’RE PUTTING UP THE GUY WHO YOU KNOW HAS THE VETO!?!?! There’s no IF!!! She’s putting Kmanda up because she’s not 100% on here side, case and point. Her trying to make excuses is just stupid, fake, and makes her look like a moron. Sure enough, all of this happens and Kmanda, Kim, and Monica are on the block.

The good news in the Zmanda being in love with Kim and wanting Sierra and her to work with Kim and Kmanda is that the two of them should be safe. Zmanda supposedly tried to target Kmanda for a bit but it faded when Heather was gunning hard for Kim. So Zmanda, Jeremiah, Mike, Erik, and I were voting for Monica. That was five votes and an easy majority regardless of what Heather and Jerri did. It sucked to lose any allies but of the ones to lose, Monica who had pretty much gone inactive was best case scenario. Heather and Jerri were gunning hard for Kim though because they realized that Zmanda and Sierra were more loyal to Kmanda and Kim than they were to them (Heather and Jerri). The #jealous Movement failed though because no one else was on board for voting out Kim besides these two. I’ll cover this a bit more in depth next episode but case and point it failed. Kim still wanted Mike to use his idol though. Why? Why on Earth is that a good idea? You’re safe! 2 votes at most. So I voiced this opinion in our group chat. We don’t have numbers to take out whoever you put up so there’s no point. Monica goes and we save an idol. And then because I’m being reasonable she finds me shady. Are you kidding? Whatever. Exactly as was expected Monica went and we kept an idol. But yeah I’m shady and not just playing smart.

So there a round ends and another ally lost. Things really suck right now because even Kim and Kmanda are finding ways out with this alliance with Sierra and Zmanda. It’s pretty much Mike and I against the world but there’s always ins, always cracks that can be exploited. And this game is all about finding them. I have that opportunity every round I’m here so every round is a new day and a new chance to turn this game around. They should be careful because they may just give me one too many.
