Survived the nomination block! Yay me! 
*Dances and pumps fist in the air*
So, I got picked as a random player in the veto competition. I have to strategize very careful about the position I want to take in the challenge.
Obviously, I want to win because it ensures I will not be on the block and will not be backdoored. I do not want to go home, and even though Amanda says I'm safe, it doesnt guarantee that I am. The only way to guarantee my safety one hundred percent is to hold the power of veto.
I would also like to win the challenge because I can get a special power which would really help me out in the game. I need all the special powers I can get. Right?
So, it's no secret that I'm playing a very good social game. That's what Big Brother is. It's the only thing that can guarantee you safety. You win challenges, and people want you out of the house. You cause drama, and people want you gone immediately. If you build relationships, and work the people, not only do they not realize what you are doing, but they like you as a person. I'm definitely not being fake as a person with people. I do like getting to know people. It's just that I'm playing Big Brother at the same time.
Hence, the veto delimma. What would I do? I would have to save one nominee. I've got Danielle up there, and we have some sort of understanding to help one another out. I have Carol who I've worked with in the past. I've got Lisa who is a major part of my alliance with Kevin. Then, I have Mike Boogie who I recently just formed an alliance with as part of a foursome.
How could I ever decide what to do and who to save? It would be a disaster. I'm going to try to cut the relationships that mean the least to other people. For example, keeping Lisa, helps me stay in good with Kevin. Keeping Mike Boogie helps connect me to Lisa and Andrew. So, those two need to stay in the house. It's better to cut lose the relationships that have only one party involved. It's like last week with Enzo. Having one partner in the house didnt benefit me as much as working with several others to eliminate people. The same concept applies.
Right now, as long as people don't start getting together and colluding, I should be in a great position. Everyone who wins HOH feels like in some way I have their backs, and in some way I do. I cut the line at the point when it no longer benefits me.
It's like in Business, you will have a customer that you love and cherish, and you will benefit from that transaction for awhile. However, eventually people become whiny and pains in the ass. They expect things done their way, and they want you to do what they want. At some point, it's more beneficial to cut the ties to that customer, and release them. It's better in the long run as a winning strategy. This applies directly to Big Brother as well.
It's about creating a winning strategy, and using the people in the house to benefit your game. You have to make sacrifices, you have to do selfless things. However, you also have to PLAY the game. Enzo was saying people weren't playing the game, and he was getting frustrated. I've been playing the game since Day 1, but it's not about causing drama, winning challenges, and having fights. It's about strategically positioning yourself to be ready for the next move.
Over and Out, Big Brother Brawlstars, here I come!!
