Round 9 - Fast Forward

[Karen O'Neil]

After Erika's departure, the only thing I'm thinking about is to win HoH. I want to stick to the girls' alliance and I want Kevin gone. He's just too good. I had previously seen that the boards were locked so I made a spreadsheet like on the wikipedia page for the season so I'd be well prepared.

And what's the HoH competition? Before or After!! I knew it was mine to win. And, to the surprise of the others, I did it!!!!!

Head of motherfucking Household! FINALLY! It was about time I won something

[Karen O'Neil]

At first, I'm thinking "Oh, easy noms, just put the two guys up and hope Kevin's power doesn't interfere too much with his elimination. I have the two girls so no matter what happens, even if the veto comes into play, I can vote if there's a tie.

But just as I win HoH, Kevin tells me what his power is. He tells me he wrote my name before the HoH and if I were to win HoH and nominate him, he'd take my place and finish my reign.

Obviously, he could be lying. But at this point, I have 4 minutes to make a decision and I have to decide if I can risk my whole gaame and throw my HoH out the window. He might be BSing but it's in full conscience of the cause that I made my nominations.

First, I want to keep Danielle safe cause I want to appear loyal and out of Carol/Danielle, she's the least threatning physically and jury-wise. Then, I decided that I couldn't take such a risk that far into the game and I protacted Kevin. So I didn't really nominate Carol and Marvin, I kept Danielle and kevin safe.

In my mind, I am still trying to see a way to eliminate Kevin by backdooring him though.

[Karen O'Neil]

Veto comes up and it's the one where basically everybody decides who wins. And Carol, Danielle and I decide it's smarter to give it to Danielle. She doesn't use it and I am the tie-breaker: Marvin goes.

However, right after her win, Carol and I came up with an idea which I thought was the best for us. Danielle uses the veto on Carol. I put up Kevin. Two scenarios:

A. Kevin doesn't have a power and Carol and Danielle vote him out.
B. Kevin does have the power and he has to put me on the block. The two girls save me and Marvin is gone.

BUT.... Danielle had other plans and quickly DOESN'T use the veto. I was so mad. But I thought oh well, Marvin's gone. It's better than nothing.

[Karen O'Neil]

The votes are revealed and to my surprise Carol had been eliminated unanimously.

Overall, I'm kind of happy with that because I really want to go to the Final 3 with Daniella and Marvin as I don't think anybody has a shot next to Kevin or Carol. We just gotta make sure now that Kevin doesn't win the HoH or the Veto and, that way, he's eliminated.

To be hoest, I'm not THAT sure I'll be that bad in the end. I may have a shot at gaining votes from Andrew, Lisa, Carol, and Erika. We'll see.
