Week 4

[Carol Journey]

Alright its time to start week 4, but today has been a very very busy day. I made my first strategic move and so far its gone perfectly. The start of games are usually about getting rid of UTR players or inactives. I feel like I am considered UTR at this point and my lack of early social skills meant that I had to do something. I was able to keep myself safe but I needed a little something better. Usually the house starts to divide about this time but it hasnt been in this game. Everyone has been fairly scattered. So I approached Enzo, because he happened to be online so he was my lucky first contestant on 'Carol's about to fuck you up!' Heres the story:


I talked to Enzo and asked about the vote (NOBODY talked to me about the vote, but I knew Kevin want April gone, but still NOBODY talked to me at all......thats not a good sign) and he said he had no idea who to vote. I said Kevin wants to vote off April. So Enzo said 'Kevins a threat so maybe we need to go the opposite because Andrew is aligned with a lot of people in the house' and I said 'yeah thats a great, lets divide the house.'

Carol: We should decide who we want as our "side" and then tell those people that everyone else in the game is a side and that we all have to stick together in order to survive.

Enzo: Yea that could work great, but there isnt really 2 sides in the game

Carol: We lie obviously.....if we say it long enough eventually people will be FORCED into aligning with the people we say they are aligned with and then the house will be divided and we will know where everyone stands. Who do we want?

Enzo: Well we need Andrew gone because Lisa and Karen are with him for sure

Carol: Yup, they need to go
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile

Carol: Lisa, Enzo just approached me and said that you, Karen and Andrew are aligned and that we need to get rid of Andrew this week and then put up Karen and Lisa next, but you know I cant have that cause youre my gurl!

Lisa: Hell no, Enzo is insane......yada, yada, yada. Long rant about Enzo being dumb.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enzo: Hey I got Amanda, Danielle, Boogie, and Erika keeping April, plus me and you.

Carol: YAY! Great job, youre dividing this house like crazy

Enzo: I know, Im here to be a real player and win this. Im not just gonna sit back and be some pawn to everyone!

Carol: I hear that!


Sooo, Enzo runs around like a chicken with his head cut off and in one day is now public enemy number 1. People are just great like that, you give them a little push in the right direction and they stumble right into crazyville. Now the bitch is yelling at people on AIM and being insane. So then the votes come back and its 7-2. Perfect!

So immediatly, Enzo throws my name out as the other vote to keep April. However, I screencapped my vote so people didnt believe him, cause I DID vote April out. So then I decided, 'I guess its time for the 2nd victim of 'Carol's about to fuck you up!' so I took Enzo statement from earlier that he secured votes from Danielle, Boogie, Erika and Amanda and I picked a random person to target......Amanda. I swore up and down that the other vote is Amanda because Enzo assured me he had her vote "100%" (which he didnt say) so now Amanda and Enzo can take the fall together!


So far, everything has gone perfectly and I escaped unscathed. Now time will tell if I did as good as I think I did.

Well we had the HoH comp this week and guess who won??



CAROL



Hell yea! I won just like I said I wanted to do and now I think people know Im capable and Im sure nobody expected me to win this of all people. So there has been a LOT of ass kissing. Ive talked to everyone a little bit in the game but this week everyone started with their "what are WE gonna do" nonsense. Nominations were the easy part of the week for me. It sucks putting people up, but I know Im one person closer to winning and that I cant be voted out at all.

I love having people come out of the woodwork to talk to me more strategically because it gives me good insight as to who I can trust and who is working lots of people.......Lisa, Danielle and Jamez are clearly trying to make deals with everyone. I think they are the 3 biggest threats in the game at this point and I expect one of them to be the Phantasm, however, I dont feel threatened by the Phantasm and have decided to let him reveal himself and get rid of 2 people and just play the odds that it wont come after me. THEN I can focus on getting out Danielle, Jamez and Lisa.

I decided to have some fun with nominations since nobody had really done anything yet as far as nominations. I gave free Tarot card readings, these werent just for fun, they really were some insight into how i think the game is going and what I think of each player.

Danielle- Danielle got the Magician. She is one of my top suspects for the Phantasm but beyond that I think she is very social and is very skilled at working her magic to get what she wants. Her smoke and mirrors are very convincing.

Kevin- Is the Emperor. I dont think he is the Phantasm but I do think he is the biggest threat comp wise, he also had a special power and right now he has the ability to run the game......it wont last obviously cause he's played way too hard, too fast. But for now, hes the Emperor.

Jamez- Jamez is clearly a wolf in sheeps clothing. He's probably the Phantasm and if he isnt, he's still one shady motha fucker.

Lisa/Karen/Andrew- Sun/Moon/Star.....These 3 go together. Its rumored they are working together so its kinda a hint at that. Lisa is the Sun, shes the leader and the head of the group, shining the brightest. Karen is the moon, 2nd in command and much more low key that the Sun, but still a threat. Andrew is the star, the 3rd wheel, but also he would be the quickest to turn on the other 2.

Erika- The Hierophant, Erika is playing a similar game to me and I recognize her leadership qualities, but like me, she just hasnt shown her "Empress" side yet, but its in there for sure and she had a lot of potential to be a major player in the jury portion of the game.

Enzo- The Hanged Man- This should be self-explanitory.

Amanda- The Chariot.....Chariots are hard to understand their power because its so gradual you dont even see it coming. When things pull in seperate directions, the Chariot can rally them to work together and go the same way. I think Amanda could do this. She has the potential to pull in everything she needs to create a well oiled machine to send her all the way to the end in this game and to pull in opposing players to help her.

Boogie- Wheel of Fortune card. Very random card, I know so little about him and where he stands, I just cant risk someone like that being around. Just a really confusing person.


And I chose not to give myself a card, I figure Ill let the Phantasm take care of that for me.

[Carol Journey]

Well my reign as HoH is over. It was a fairly straight forward week. Jamez did end up leaving the game as planned but he wasnt the Phantasm, which is ok. Him being the Phantasm was always just a plus to me, but regardless he still was a threat and I couldnt trust him and he needed to go. Everyone has to go so any week that I dont leave is a successful week. But my HoH did have many upsides personally for my game. I aligned with nearly everyone in the house. I got a deal from Kevin, Lisa, Danielle, Enzo, Karen and Erika to keep me safe if they get HoH. Andrew pretty much said he would keep me safe, but since he didnt specifically say it then I dont count him. And when I told Amanda I would save her from the block with Veto she actually offered a deal that if I would do that, she would not nominate me if she won HOH. So literally the only person I dont have anything official with are Boogie and Andrew. So I covered my ass pretty well for the future IF everyone was being honest with me.

So its the last week to get out the Phantasm and he offered a special deal to the HoH winner (which cant be me, cause I cant play) if someone wins, they can put an X up and then they have to nominate the 2 people the Phantasm wants nominated, but in exchange he "claims" he will keep them safe at the double elimination at final 9. So virtually, if you give up the HoH power this week, you are for sure going to final 7 and will actually get to play in final 7 HoH so possibly final 6. However, I think its game suicide to take the deal....One of two things will probably happen

1. If you take the deal and do what the Phanstasm wants, he gets HoH for sure next week and puts up the HoH from this week....his whole reason for existing is to cause chaos and be a dick. Why would he stop and honor a deal? So I think if the deal is taken the HoH this week is fucked, plus everyone would probably vote them out in retaliation for giving up their HoH to the Phantasm this week.

2. They take the deal and the Phantasm DOES honor the deal. At final 7 whoever wins HoH nominates the Phantasm AND their little side kick that helped the Phantasm before. So youre nominated at final 7 anyway.


So honestly I think not taking the Phantasm deal is the way to go. He claims he will put you up for sure if you dont take his deal, but id probably risk it and do what I wanted.
