The Cigar Lounge - Roddy's Reflections

[Roddy]

Sit down. Have a smoke. Let's chat.

Week 1
*exhales smoke*
I came. I saw. Time to conquer.

I decided initially to not add anyone on AIM. I wanted to see who the proactive ones would be, to not only add me but strike a conversation with me as well. Annie, Frank, Holly, Jenn, Kristen and Matt rose to the challenge. Some stood out more than others, but those are the proactive ones.

At the HoH competition, Josh and Shane messaged me as well. Though there were techinical difficulties, I immediately filled the leadership role and coordinated people to go after different people (to make the competition go faster). I wasn't able to compete, but I was the tenth person to be knocked out. That's pretty good if you ask me, being absent the whole time.

Lane ends up winning, and I'm taking a chance at not messaging him via AIM or PM. I just wanted to communicate strictly via public boards, to feel Lane out strategically. I admit, I was nervous at the nomination ceremony, scrolling through all those keys. But I got one near the end, and you better believe I sent him a PM after the PoV was posted saying "I hope to catch you on AIM".

I have many favorites, as the first weeks of the game usually go. I like Holly, Annie, Kristen, Matt, Josh, Shane, and Frank. Basically everyone I've spoken with. Now I'm going to add people on AIM and see how my perceptions change. Until next time, keep it classy San Diego.

[Roddy]

Week 1
Well, Lane decided not to use the veto. Not surprised, and easy week. But I'll go ahead and say that certain people I have different impressions of.

I absolutely LOVE Annie. She deals with my shenanigans. We played something called "The Dead Game", which is a game my friend and I made up a LONG time ago. Basically it's a morbid version of America's Next Top Model. For a hot mess read, and to find out who lives out of Anne Hathaway, Idris Elba, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jennifer Lawrence, Jet Li, Josh Hutcherson, Owen Wilson, Scarlett Johansson, Zoe Saldana, and Zooey Deschanel, [/b]

SPOILER: Click to show

so basically
we make a list of ten people we both know
rank them 1-10
1 safest
and 10 = death
one person reveals their list to the other
Dec 8, 2012 7:40 PM

then that person adds the list together
and reveals one by one whos safe
then brings the bottom 2 forward
says why they should die
and saves one
and shoots the other lol

cataclysmiccornucopia


then the next round we make a new rank
and the people switch roles
so the other person will reveal their list etc.

Jennifer, you are unbelievably gorgeous. However, we're unsure if you'll ever be able to break the stereotype outside of "the girl from the Hunger games".

cataclysmiccornucopia
The girl on fire~

Josh, we find you in the bottom 2 again, because of your height. You really are short. But you have been fighting and we see that. We're just not sure if it's enough.
Congratulations...

Dec 8, 2012 8:47 PM

Josh, you are our comeback kid. And I respect your effort. But now were looking for a winner. We're not sure if you can handle that.
This was a tough decision

BLACK POWER

cataclysmiccornucopia
HAHAHA
Ladies, please step forward.

double zoes
Dec 8, 2012 8:52 PM

cataclysmiccornucopia
Zooey, welcome back to the bottom 2. We saw that you wanted it this week but unfortunately for you Idris and Zoe did as well. Idris definitely brought his best, and is your best good enough compared to Zoe?

welcome back bitch lol

cataclysmiccornucopia
lololol
Zoe, your performance was lackluster this week but you are usually top notch. What happened?
Well ladies the time has come. *cocks gun*
It's time to go...
*shoots*
ZOE
Congratulations Zooey you have made the final 2 with Idris.
Dec 8, 2012 8:53 PM

what a weird final 2 lol

cataclysmiccornucopia
Hahaha I know

ok so instead of a list
we talk with each other
and determine together who should win

cataclysmiccornucopia
Haha ok

and look at their growth
and who should live
i dont trust black people

cataclysmiccornucopia
LOL

with Idris living
idk

cataclysmiccornucopia
I think Zooey was stronger throughout the competition
But
Dec 8, 2012 8:55 PM

cataclysmiccornucopia
Never improved

she was also weaker

cataclysmiccornucopia
Idris definitely improved from the beginning

i see zooey in the bottom 2 three times

cataclysmiccornucopia
And probably surpassed Zooey
Yeah

Idris was in the bottom 2 once

cataclysmiccornucopia
And it was at the beginning

Zooey was first the very first week
and the fifth
Dec 8, 2012 8:56 PM

Idris was first the 4th, 7th and 8th week
but placing isnt what matters
sometimes I saved Idris because he was black
and I saved Zooey b/c she's racially ambiguous
lolol
I'm racist
so i dont know who should be alive
but im proud of both of them
Dec 8, 2012 8:57 PM

cataclysmiccornucopia
Hey sorry my internet died lol
HAHA
Race matters

its all good! lolol

cataclysmiccornucopia
But placement doesn't xD


Oh Lord
so do we give it to the obviously attractive, talented Zooey
Dec 8, 2012 8:59 PM

or the edgy, improved talent of Idris?

cataclysmiccornucopia
I want to say Zooey but I think Idris proved himself

I want to say Zooey too
Improvement means shit in the real world
Dec 8, 2012 9:00 PM

cataclysmiccornucopia
Thats true but is Zooey better than Idris now?

I feel like throughout the competition
Zooey was safer than Idris

cataclysmiccornucopia
Thats true

which was why I was comfortable giving her lower scores
than I would give Idris
but the fact she got her

cataclysmiccornucopia
Me too lol
Dec 8, 2012 9:01 PM

despite me low balling her
proves she's a strong one
(Josh took forever to kill btw)

cataclysmiccornucopia
Idris could make a good runner-up story
HAHAHA
:3

haha
I agree
Idris's journey is more of a gj

cataclysmiccornucopia
He should have gone over J. Law

runner up
Dec 8, 2012 9:02 PM

whos J. Law?


cataclysmiccornucopia
Jennifer Lawrence

oh god
im horrible lol

cataclysmiccornucopia
Hahahha

josh was tied with jet that round
so i saved jet
so i could have a hunger games bottom 2
lol

cataclysmiccornucopia
Ohhhh lol
Dec 8, 2012 9:03 PM

cataclysmiccornucopia
That was amazing lol

so sad
she was on fire

cataclysmiccornucopia
I know poor Katniss

ok so we agree?
Zooey to win

cataclysmiccornucopia
I think so

Idris runner up?

cataclysmiccornucopia
Yep

Let's reveal it to them
hahaha
Idris
Zooey
Dec 8, 2012 9:04 PM

We both think you have come really far

cataclysmiccornucopia
XD

ANNIE
WHYD YOU SHOOT IDRIS?

cataclysmiccornucopia


SO QUICKLY
well

cataclysmiccornucopia
:X

YAY!
Zooey congrats!

cataclysmiccornucopia
LOL

Anywho, she seems genuine, and I want to work with her strongly. Probably most out of everyone at the moment.

Holly went down in my book. I knew going into an alliance with her that she was gonna be a social player, but I hate it when people forget a conversation we've already had. Holly told me she wanted to keep Amanda about 3 days ago, so I was on board and told her I'm with it b/c I consider Holly an ally. Then today, Holly wants to act dumb and ask "Who should we vote out?"

Clearly, she doesn't remember the conversation we've had, or is just really bad at remembering who she's talking to. But to me, it showed me I wasn't as high up of a priority alliance wise as I initially gave Holly credit for. She really is gonna be a mess in this game. She'll defeat herself unfortunately.

Josh I actually asked to play the dead game with first, but it turned into a fail. However, there were two pieces of information I got from that experience. One, is that Josh played recycled. Because when I mentioned I disliked a person who played as Enzo, he asked "Are you talking about BBR Enzo?" I evaded the question, but yes that's the one.

And when we selected contestants for the dead game, he picked Grant Gustin. Everything makes sense; his flamboyant conduct, OTT personality, picking Josh as a character lol. He's Dustin from recycled. And he played as Grant Gustin in an ORG I hosted. I want to see him succeed here, but I'm not gonna tell him who I am. So I don't think he'd want to work with me, b/c he usually aligns with hornballs. Oh well, I'll look out for him as much as I can.

Finally talked to this kid. We both like Sunny in Philly. Other than that, he can't hold a conversation. Maybe he was distracted, idk. But definitely not warm, or maybe just too distracted by the tv when we were talking. Nice guy though.

[Roddy]

Deals. Deals. Deals. Deals.

Week 2
*exhales smoke*
I once was lost. But now I'm found.

When I saw Shane win HoH, I was ecstatic. We made an alliance before the comp, and I'm glad we did. He's so easy to talk to. And it seems like we talk to the same people, because his targets would've been mine (a combo of Kevin/Janelle/Ian). He said he wants to nominate people who aren't on aim as much, and those three fit the mark.

Holly has this random alliance with Amanda. I think I'm over Holly at the moment. Ever since that whole "Who are we gonna vote?" question she asked me, that triggered my reaction into making me think we were not as close as I wanted to have her. But no sweat, I came up with many more valuable allies.

I typed "Hey Kristen!" to Matt in an aim chat on accident. But then I made a chat group with all three of us. Our initials are MKR, so we formed a "Maker's Alliance". I like Matt and Kristen, and I think us three working together could possibly work. I have no idea about their relationships with others, so I'm glad we made this allianceship to somewhat look out for each other.

My bond with Annie is the one I enjoy the most. I think she enjoys me a lot, and I enjoy her. I hope to take her the farthest.

Jenn was mentioned as a target to me from Holly. I played along, but I told Jenn to watch out for Holly. I told Jenn I'd look out for her this game, so that's what I'm doing. I also hope that Jenn improves her likeability on AIM conversations, or else she could be a goner.

Shane also mentioned Frank to me, and I told him I liked Frank. Shane likes Frank too, so I could see an alliance forming there.

If I form bonds with all those people mentioned above, it would leave Amanda, Cassi, Ian, Janelle, Josh, Kevin, and Lane as just friendly acquaintances. Which would be fine, because I need some form of a target later on. I think Josh and Lane are close (based on what I've heard), so maybe I can form an alliance with me/Josh/Lane.

Aside from that, it seems like my work on aim city is done. Onto the nomination ceremony and veto competition.

[Roddy]

Week 2
Approached Frank about working with Shane, and he's on board.

SPOILER: Click to show

Do you like Shane?

Frank Eudy
he's a pretty chill guy from what i know

yeah I think Shane's pretty cool
6 mins ago

Well the reason I asked
was because Shane said he liked you when he and I were talking
and a thought went through my mind at least of us 3 working together

Frank Eudy
okay cool yea i actually really like Shane
but you never know whose scouting out for info
5 mins ago

Frank Eudy
so i didn't want to seem too favorable for him

ok yeah i didnt know how to approach you either
b/c i wasnt sure lol

Frank Eudy
its so awkward stupid BB

yeah
so I definitely think we should think about working together!

Frank Eudy
remove the think about
and im game

awesome!
"so I definitely we should about working together!"
4 mins ago

Frank Eudy
-.-

lol

Frank Eudy
great i've just aligned myself with a smart ass :-P

haha
the regrets already for you

So I think I'm set up pretty nicely. I have quite a few alliances everywhere. I could either be really stupid, and rushing things. Or have done a well job at dividing the house into pairs, and becoming the third wheel to each alliance in the house.

Meh, we'll see how it works out for me. Not in the veto competition again, so just waiting for the eviction so I can participate in the next HoH competition.[/b]

[Roddy]

Checkmate.

Week 3

Kristen won Head of Household. I was pretty pleased that a member of the "Maker Alliance" won, because superficial alliances are still solid this early in the game.

Kristen nominated Kevin and Amanda. BUT WAIT! Backtrack. Before nominations were even made, Holly wants to talk to me and campaign for Amanda to stay. WTF? How is she gonna campaign for Kevin to be evicted/Amanda to stay when nominations weren't even official at the time?

Turns out nominations went exactly as Holly predicted, but for some reason Holly wants to save Amanda hardcore, and have been campaigning to different peeps to keep Amanda.

I am also talking on aim atm, and need to keep my alliances in check.
Shane + Frank
Matt + Kristen

Frank and I are strategizing, exchanging info etc. I can't tell if the people he like are the same as mine, but I do like Frank and that's all that matters.

So I am completely proud and excited that Kevin won veto! I really do like him. And I think Kristen nominating someone else would be better for my game.

Finally, Lane and I are ready to make some sort of move. Idk, but I like Lane, and I think we have to start making waves so we dont become an evicted bystander.

Haven't spoken to Annie in a while, so atm I'm liking Lane, Frank and Shane the most. Holly is basically the only person on my radar b/c of how OTT she is. The main reason I don't like that is because if I find myself nominated against her, or someone she finds more valuable than me, I have to deal with her mouth when it comes to campaigning, which I just would not prefer to do.

Week 3

I thought today was going to be complicated when Lane told me he wanted to have a 3-man alliance with me, him, and Frank. But it's not. Frank and I tried to have a fake aim conversation of me asking him about Lane, but it was a hot mess. Frank suggested us not mentioning Shane to Lane, which makes sense.

However, I'm in a pickle b/c I like Frank and Lane. Frank I feel has more pull in the house than Lane, and Frank doesn't like Lane as much as Lane likes Frank. I like them both, so it's a hard situation I'm in. I did tell both of them a bit of information, but this wrench is gonna make my dynamics alliance-wise interesting to say the least.[/b]

Week 3

I just made a final 2 deal with Frank. Told him about all my alliances.

No turning back now.

Week 3

This week is about Holly and Roddy: Who can influence the house?

I was an idiot, and sent this information to Holly by mistake (I initially sent it to Frank, but his internet lost connection and the message sent to Holly. It happened TWICE):

yeah im gonna tell everyone im keeping them
and vote amanda
then go with the majority
whenever results are revealed

WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?! I tried to salvage it, but in the end, I was just super sketchy.

Anyway, Frank told me about his foursome with him/Holly/Shane/Amanda, but now he's concerned that since I shared that with Holly that Holly could go after me. So now he's on board in evicting Amanda (which he wasn't at all on board with initially). Such a good f2.

Annie just told me she was leaning towards evicting Amanda. But she's drunk, so idk if she'll actually do it.

I need 6 votes. We have me, Lane, and Frank, and since Frank's on board he can convince Shane (as can I). I plan on talking to Jenn, Matt, Kevin, and Josh.

Shit hit the fan this week. And now it'll be Team Roddy versus Team Holly. Team Roddy wins if Cassi survives. Team Holly wins if Amanda survives.

I actually feel douchebag confident.

[Roddy]

I also failed to mention how much I really like Lane. Lane and I clicked, and I consider him one of my closest allies and friends in the house. I think I felt that way right at the beginning of week 3, based on reading my previous DR entries. He's awesome!

[Roddy]

Damage control. Keyword: Damage.

Week 4

So Amanda got evicted, and I was surprised that it was by a vote of 8-3. It makes me think I have a lot more sway than I had anticipated. But there's no room for cockiness, as there's plenty of game left to be played.

In the majority rules competition, I just answered each question honestly. And somehow I managed to get in the final 2 with Frank, which led to a tiebreaker. At this point, I didn't really care who won. Frank and I are Chilltowning this season, so whoever won it would be a win/win. The competitor in me wanted to win, and the first thought that went through my mind for the tiebreaker question was "0". But I gave pre-jury the benefit of the doubt and went with 10. Turns out pre-jury deserves to be there, and Frank won Head of Household.

Frank winning is a good thing. Right now though, the house is at a groupthink mentality. Soon enough we're going to have to be brutally honest and expose who's at the bottom of this house's totem pole.

Frank gave me a pool of Ian/Kevin/Matt/Josh as his options for nominations. Apparently Frank was talking to Lane about backdooring Matt if he won, but now he's not so sure. Frank and I had zero communication with Ian, so he was basically guaranteed to be nominated.

The other nominee was a bit more challenging. He knows he doesn't want to straight up nominate Matt. So Matt's not a pre-veto option, leaving Kevin or Josh as possibilities.

I suggested that the benefit of not nominating Kevin is that we know that Kevin is expendable to the whole house. Whereas Josh, we have no idea where his allegiances or potential allies are in the house. I think it would be wise to give Kevin a chance in this game, let Kevin KNOW that (in kinder words) that he's expendable but that we want him to stay, and to have him fight our battles and cast votes for us if need be. Josh on the other hand doesn't offer any real benefit to the core of Roddy/Shane/Frank/Lane, since he may have deals elsewhere.

However, Josh and I are close, and I could see him wanting me to use the veto on him if I won (FINALLY get to play in veto). And Frank already said it would be cool if I did. But we just want either myself or Frank to win so we have total control this week.

On a side note, Holly, Holly, Holly. I want her gone. I just don't have the energy to put up with her pity-me, victimized excuses for Amanda's eviction. But she's good to have in now so that if I become HoH, I have someone to nominate. Though Holly and I are being fake to each other in aim land, acting like everything's fine. I'd be interested to see what she would do if she wins HoH. I'm sure it wouldn't be good for me and Frank.

[Roddy]

Week 4

Jenn won veto and used it on Ian. The plan was set in motion, and Matt finds himself nominated. It sucks, because Matt definitely had some potential to helping me out personally. But I agree with Frank that Matt's a little sketchy. Matt sent me a PM asking if the Maker Alliance was still good. If you have to ask, clearly it's not. Not to mention Frank told me about your deal with him and Jenn before you decided to let me know in your plea in your PM.

If Matt ends up surviving, I'll be sad because I like Josh, and I don't want him to leave. And if Josh leaves, Matt might figure out I didn't keep him. But if Matt survives, I'd be really, really surprised. I think Frank and my social games are leaps and bounds greater than Matt's for Matt to survive.

But clearly I'm biased. It would definitely make things really interesting for Matt to survive. He'd earn my respect for sure. I just don't see it happening.

Merry Christmas!

[Roddy]

Holly won HoH.

Week 5

You think with all my shit talking that I would be concerned about Holly being HoH right? I'm not actually... Holly and I had this random bonding moment last night where we made up a fictional fairy tale about her and I escaping a castle slaughtering the contestants of Big Brother Rise and Fall standing in our way. If there was a week for Holly to win HoH, this would be the week I would want her to win.

Based on my conversations with her, I expect Ian up for sure. The second nominee would be either Josh/Jenn/Annie. She mentioned wanting to nominate Jenn to prove they're not close, but I doubt she would do that. So most likely Josh or Annie for the second nominee.

Could I be a possible backdoor? Yeah, I mean I would deserve it based on all the crap I've talked. But I'd survive. *shrugs*

And after talking to Holly more, seems like Lane could be in trouble. She always mentioned him being a threat. And her being close to Kristen, I could see Lane being nominated.

We'll see! Holly winning definitely will make this week INTERESTING. I just hope I maintain my record of not winning shit, but also not being nominated. So far Annie and I have the pleasure of being the boring contestants of the house, but there's only room for one. And I shall be the boringest!

[Roddy]

Week 5

Annie wins veto, which makes me a little nervous. If she uses the veto, Holly would be open to nominate anyone because her intentions were to replace either of her nominees with Annie.

At the beginning of this week, Holly, Annie and I were the only houseguests who haven't won a competition nor been nominated. With Holly's HoH and Annie's PoV, I am officially the most BORING houseguest this season, having no impact in the game aside from voting at each round's evictions. I'm curious to see how long it'll be before I win a competition or be nominated.

If Annie uses the veto this week, it will be hella interesting to see what Holly does. If Annie doesn't use veto, I expect an Ian eviction.

[Roddy]

I guess you don't have to win competitions to go further.

Week 6

Ian gets evicted, which gets rid of a bedwarmer.

And we go into an endurance competition for HoH. I was ready to go all day, but I was watching Drop Dead Diva on Netflix on another tab, got really invested into a scene, and before I knew it I fell. That's not even the best part. I lasted longer than 3-4 other people. So pathetic lol.

It was down to Kevin and Kristen. I considered it a win/win, because Kristen could take out a Brigade member (therefore giving motive to take her out) and Kevin has more fish to fry than little ol me.

And Kevin won! Did I mention, Lane and I made a three way alliance with Kevin before this competition? Idk how timing just works out so well for me, but I think losing competitions might be the best thing I can do.

Yes!
Without a doubt

...Just signs of me doing the whole "secret ninja" thing chilltown did season 8. Trollolol.

I like them both, but all I am is a vote. And I don't plan on winning veto. So I'll tell them what they want to hear.

It's been a while since I won one of these things. So the only way I can do that is be an ass-hole in my DR. No hard feelings! I like errbody.
