Cassi did real terrible at this challenge, lol. I think so far Kevin is in the lead. We are just waiting on the nominees. Shane has to win this or else he is toast. It's prob in Kevin's best interest to get rid of either Roddy, Frank or Cassi. I know getting revenge is so <33333 worthy but you really should think game at the F6. Can we do some F6 rankings later today or something? So they can read stuff about them  Like give each HG a paragraph each. I'm talking to you Shadow and Shir since the other HC are INACTIVE. |

Right? -__- But oh well I can understand with him. He is working 2 jobs now and doesn't have much time.
Anyway Kevin is on fire. Wins another POV. I guess it was a bad mistake for them to keep Kevin over Kristen because he is stronger than her, lol. I wonder if he will keep noms the same or what.

I think Cassi has played a solid game. At the start she was a bit under the radar but definitely picked it up once we hit the jury stage. She has won a few competitions which is nice and hasn't made any enemies. Using the PoV on Frank did end up being a bad move since she lost her closest ally but it hasn't really affected her that much. I think she will make at least F3.
It's surprising to see Frank still in the game since he's been so visible and a target. He hasn't been strong competition wise (only winning one  ) but he has been good socially. If Roddy leaves this week... I don't see Frank making the finals but if he stays, then it's definitely possible. Kevin will be the houseguest to put a stop to it.
I'm surprised Joshuah is in the F6 as well. I'm not sure how to describe his game, lol. I think he has played a good game in a way that no one really found him threatening? I know he was targeted for being annoying [at the start] or something but that's it. I think he is guaranteed F4 and could very well win because he hasn't made any enemies like Cassi.
Kevin is the biggest threat and I feel like he will win if he makes the finals. He started off so bad at the start of the game to being one of the top dogs, haha. I think he can make the finals but it depends on if he can win the important competitions. Kevin doesn't really have any allies other than Joshuah, lol.
Roddy is real good. I knew he was good before he joined this game but didn't realise how good that he was Roddy has survived a few evictions / POV been used on him because he is good with his words. I think he will win if he makes it to the end. It all depends on if his "side" wins the remaining competitions. If he survives this round, I can definitely see it happening for him.
Shane is definitely the person to take to the finals if you want to win, lol. I think he's the only one left in the F6 that won't win at all Shane has pissed 2 of the jurors already (Annie/Kristen) and Kevin isn't a fan at all. Also the fact that he did go MIA for a few rounds and I think people won't forget that He's probably going to leave this week unless Kevin thinks strategically and realises there are bigger threats than Shane. Some of his latest moves were questionable but I guess they were better for him [at the time] since he was kinda at the bottom of that side but now it may cost him an earlier eviction
All in all, I think this F6 is very unique and interesting. It all comes down to the competitions, lol. It's anyones game and it shall be interesting

Well good job to Joshuah for getting Kevin to change his mind. Joshuah has made some good moves.
It is sad to see Roddy or Frank go but for Kevin (and Josh) it's the best move.

WOWOWOWW!!! Good job to Kevin! I hope he makes it to the end. I'm extremely sad that one of Roddy or frank are leaving, but I'm very happy that people are making smart moves. Btw Kat, I'm gonna write mine up either later tonight or tomorrow afternoon! I'm not reading yours until I write mine |

Mine suck And yeah good job to Kevin too haha since I only credited Joshuah! Oh and I just realised... Roddy is most likely leaving since Cassi is closer to Frank than she is with Roddy. Sorry RoD-D, you were doing good until work kicked you in the ass |

Kevin said it was Shane who talked him into using the POV  Kevin (12:43:54 AM): omg Shane totally talked me out of getting rid of him yesterday lol
Kevin (12:44:34 AM): i don't like to be talked out of things cuz ppl will claim it as their move at the end of the game lolll
itfz88 (12:45:18 AM): oh
itfz88 (12:45:21 AM): he talked you out?
Kevin (12:45:36 AM): yeah he convinced me to use the veto on him lol
Kevin (12:45:38 AM): on AIM
itfz88 (12:46:11 AM): oo
Kevin (12:46:24 AM): he talked on aim and in the beginning I was like "no" all the time and then at some point i was like... hmm u have a point LOL
itfz88 (12:46:37 AM): what was it
Kevin (12:47:13 AM): uhm idk exactly i mean i think it was him playing in HOH
Kevin (12:47:32 AM): cuz i initially thought ok Shane and Josh never win a competition so it doesn't matter if i keep them
Kevin (12:47:36 AM): or get rid of them
Kevin (12:47:52 AM): but since there's a small chance they do win...
Kevin (12:48:42 AM): and i mean by giving up Shane, Josh would probably be evicted next week and that's not good so... aaah idk it was so difficult |

Cassi sort of came out of nowhere for me. She started off pretty slow and seemed borderline inactive, yet she somehow managed to make her presence known and is now a strong player amongst the others. I think that Cassi's perception in this game has been off for a long period of time. Her relationship with Frank could have cost her the game many times, but she got lucky on more than one occasion. With that being said, she's positioned herself well in the game so that she wouldn't be anybody's target and has been social enough to stay off the block in critical times. I still think she never should have used that veto on Frank because losing Annie was not to her benefit at all. The only real use I can think of is that if she makes it to F2, she will likely get Annie's vote. Cassi has been very likable to us, even if we've questioned her choices quite a few times. She also seems very well liked and respected by the players, which will definitely come in handy in the endgame. At F6, I still don't believe she is on anybody's radar and she probably stands one of the strongest shots at making it to the F2.
Frank has been in danger more than I can count. He hasn't been able to place himself in a position where he wouldn't be seen as a threat or targeted, unlike Cassi. What Frank has above everyone else is his strong presence since day 1, his strong relationships with the other houseguests and his overall drive. Frank has never given up, even at the worst of times. When he thought he had one foot out the door, he fought his way back in. Very impressive. He still had some trouble connecting with people that weren't his allies and his decision to backdoor Matt has been one of the more questionable ones of the entire game. Although it hasn't bitten him in the ass yet, it could have done a lot of damage. He too caught some lucky breaks. His relationships with Roddy, Annie and Cassi have been some of the most important in this game and have all impacted the entire course of it. Frank is definitely a favorite of mine to win this thing, but I don't think his chances at getting there are as strong as some of the others.
I really thought Joshuah was going to be a pre-jury boot. He kept rubbing people the wrong way and his rivalry with Roddy has been ongoing for quite a few rounds now. He's definitely been a character in this game and has left his mark in quite a few places. Certain people really seem to value his opinion, but what he lacks is a good relationship with the opposing alliance that Annie, Shane, Kevin and Cassi have all had at some point or another. If Josh makes it to the end, I see him having a tough time getting some votes, especially if he is sitting next to someone like Cassi and Kevin.
Kevin is a second favorite of mine. Ideally, he and Frank make it to F2 because I believe they deserve it the most. They've played different games and can bring different things to the jury table. I respect Kevin's game very much because he's done what a lot of people can't seem to do in ORGs and that is let go of grudges. He is constantly thinking about what is best for his own game and making moves to further himself. Although the fake bad language drives me up a wall, I think it had some impact on the game. People have either thought he was cute or possibly thought he just wasn't as smart. A common misconception that he definitely used to his benefit. I think that if he makes it to F2, he has the strongest case to win this game and would deserve it. He's been responsible for some big moves and has aligned himself with the right people at the right times. He needs to watch out for Cassi because she will probably be the reason for his demise.
Roddy has been one of the most likable houseguests in this game, at least from our perspectives. He's played a very strong game and had he made it past this week, I think he could have weaseled his way into the finals in some way. I liked the way he always kept cool and tried to spice things up. He isn't afraid to take chances and almost won hoh during the auction week because of that. His relationships have also helped him a great deal and many times when things felt bleak, he was able to come out on top. He had a top notch social game, but I guess it's finally caught up to him, unfortunately. His biggest mistake was evicting Kristen last week, which I know he knows.
Shane has upset more people than anyone else has in this game. He's flip flopped his way through the game and I honestly don't see how he can win against anyone left. Although this strategy has worked for him on many occasions, it's just a matter of time before it catches up to him. Whether it's getting evicted or making f2 without coming out on top. Shane is a likable guy, but because he didn't have Internet for that one week, he was seen as inactive and has lost a great deal of his standing. People have gotten closer to each other and he was left behind. I think he did an amazing job getting in good with Frank and Roddy, but I honestly don't think that any of those moves to save these guys were all that necessary. In the end, he's angered the jury and will likely not be crowned the winner of this game.
That's all folks. My rankings at this point of the game to win it all are as follows:
1. Kevin
2. Frank
3. Joshuah
4. Cassi
5. Shane
I didn't include Roddy because he has just been evicted [it just hasn't been posted yet].
Everyone from the jury stage moving forward has been amazing! I'm extremely excited to find out who will be sitting in the F2 and how the jury will judge them!

I was a pretty big fan of Cassi during the early phase of this game. She was very under the radar and likeable. The fact she was less active at the first few rounds put her at risk, but her social game was very good in my opinion, because it was why she survived. Once the Jury stage began, Cassi took the spot light and showed to be a surprising and certainly unexpected force to be reckoned with in competitions. With a very strong likeable social game, a good showing in competitions, all the while managing to appease or be targeted by either "side" in the game, she was by far my favorite. But then she ruined everything when she let her closest ally get nominated because she had a "soft" spot for Frank. It was a pretty bad decision and she has been lucky to not have paid the consequences for it. Right now she only has Frank in her corner. The only good thing is that he would likely get the boot before her, but if she loses him, she has to win her way to the end.
I expected Frank to make the end of the game in round one. He was one of the most powerful and active players. He let the power go to his head, made a bold move in targeting and backdooring Matt, and ever since has managed to scrape by with the skin of his teeth. His alliance of all the top dogs suddenly found themselves in danger, which was one of the most exciting parts of this flip-flopping season to watch. What kept him alive was his fight to stay in and his relationships to the other side. What even shocks me more is realizing he has one like, what, 1 competition? That's pretty outrageous for the giant bullseye he has had on his back. He will win hands down if he makes the finals, but he definitely has the hardest road to that point. I've always been on #teamCinnamon Buns ever since their little feud, but he even managed to vote to keep her when she left - so I think he has very good Jury management. With Jenn and Roddy in there, and not voting Cinnamon Buns out, he may have a couple votes on lock and good shots at others.
To me, Joshuah has always been in the background. He rubbed a few people the wrong way at the start and he was like Holly in some respect. I didn't anticipate either of them doing that amazing. But from watching this game play out, he definitely KNOWS what's what, and what to do each and every round. He is definitely the voice of reason for his alliance and has showed his smarts. Where Joshuah lacks in gameplay is his social game. He hasn't made the same relationships that other members of his "side" did. (Annie and even Shane had better repoire with the opposite alliance) That will be very difficult for Joshuah if he makes it to the final two. He would be sending that alliance to the Jury with most of them probably not wanting to vote for him. The only way I see him winning and standing a shot is against Shane, of this final five.
Kevin is my favorite player remaining. Whilst I hate his fake way of talking, I think it would be one of the most amazing things EVERRRRRRR if he makes it to the final two and suddenly types intelligent. If he doesn't win unanimously for that, I will shake my head. Because even on top of this fake persona where people thought he was naive, dumb, and cute - he has been a damn strong player. Super strong at competitions, he has managed to make the right move every time it seems. He is going to be a very big threat in the last few rounds, but I'm hoping his competition skills will carry him the distance. Because basically, Joshuah is his last true ally remaining - and an HOH from him does not seem the most likely. I fear Kevin will need the Final 5 POV. He has a very hard road to the end, but if he makes it there, it should be a lock. (Unless against Frank, that will be very tight) But I don't see a final two of them anywho.
Shane is by far the least deserving of those who remain. On top of being inactive for weeks, he has pissed off a ton of Jury members. With limited activity and bad Jury management, those are two of the worst things you can do in an Online Reality Game. He's a nice guy but that's not going to get him the votes. There isn't really much to talk about. I think while he has made some good choices, there was nothing he could have done anyway to get the inactive stigma off of him.
