The Cigar Lounge - Roddy's Reflections

Week 6

Oh man, I'm calling that Holly's gonna pick me since she has houseguest's choice for veto.

...or Kristen. I'm guessing me though

[Kat]

Kristen is already playing

[Roddy]

I just noticed that... I guess I call me!

[Roddy]

Week 6

Holly chose Frank. Giving me motive to question her loyalty and vote her out.

Too easy.

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.

maybe frank but frank keep me safe he is cool so I do not want frank nominate

Looks like our little down payment a few weeks back paid off Frank.

I've been talking to Kevin a lot (because my sleep schedule is fucked up), and he's actually thinking about using the veto on Annie. He wanted to know who would guarantee a Holly eviction, and I said Kristen. Why? Because I think Kristen and Holly are aligned, and I need Kristen the fuck out of this house. It sounds like Kevin wants to veto Annie and nominate Kristen to ensure Holly's eviction, but trust if he nominates Kristen, Kristen needs to go. She's too smart to keep around for my gameplay, so I need her out.

I hope Kevin uses the veto. No blood on my hands for something that really needed to be done: A Kristen eviction.

Week 6

So Kevin used the veto and nominated Kristen. Kevin sent me a couple PMs before making his nominations, which tells me he trusts me. I hate that I can't look out for him long term. If I did, I would find myself in deep trouble because of him being an outcast.

So Kristen and Holly are nominated, and I find myself struggling because IT'S THE BEST NOMINATION SCENARIO EVER! Either eviction is a win/win, but I have to think of whose eviction will help me advance a little bit further in the game.

Lane and I spoke at length, and I think he put it best with:

Holly is the devil you know.
Kristen is the devil you don't.

I wouldn't necessarily call them devils, but I get what he means. And when he said that, it clicked and made the decision crystal clear. I've always said that for Big Brother games, knowledge is power and predictability is far more important than unpredictability. We know Holly as an emotional player, who will likely retaliate and go after Kevin. Kristen on the other hand is smarter, and will go about taking out the brigade from a more strategic standpoint that could hurt my game in the long run.

Kristen's unpredictability and wildcard status gives me grounds for targeting her this week. I remember considering her the biggest threat in the game for me at the beginning of this week, so if she is evicted, she should take it as a compliment. I respect her.

The only thing I can control in this house is this cream on my face.

Week 7

What a FAIL! That's what I get for being cocky lol. Josh pulled a fast one on me and I admit it! I got played. Well done Josh.

I'm fine with Josh, but I'm not okay with Kevin or Kristen. I didn't have any motive to go after these people, but with this stunt, I can confidently win competitions and make nominations now.

Jenn won veto, which is a saving grace because she may be able to save me.

We'll have to see who Josh nominates. I need to go for a run and work off this mad play dizzle I got shizzled.

[Kat]

on the bright side... you are still boring sorry

[Roddy]

Week 7

I'm up with final 2 Frank, but for some reason, I felt fine campaigning against him to Jenn for using the veto on me. Jenn was being indecisive the whole day. I scrolled down, and based on the speech I was sure Frank was going to be saved. I saw me and I was excited. Then I felt horrible because Frank was still nominated. I was consumed with my selfishness that now I see Frank could've benefited from the veto more than me.

Wait a second, not really. Frank looks like he can survive eviction. He plans on nullifying Kevin's vote. He has Annie's vote for sure, and Annie secured Cassi's vote too because Annie vetoes Cassi a few weeks back.

How am I the M********** swing vote?! I have to vote between my boys. My best boys. Last week was best case scenario and now it's worst case scenario. This entire situation is lose/lose. Lane thinks him and I are closer than me and Frank, and I told him I felt the same... because I do! I like Lane more, I talk to Lane more, I even trust Lane more than Frank. But what Frank has is irreplaceable. Frank has my word. The words: "You are my Final 2" out of my mouth and into his aim chat transcript.

I don't know what to do. Based on personality, I would vote off Frank. But based off my word, I'd vote out Lane. But that's such a double-edged sword because of the connection I built with Lane.

However, this eviction and week was necessary for me because I literally had no options if I were to be HoH. Now with being nominated and made out to be a liar, I can confidently compete to win any competition down the line. Counter-attacks are so much more effective than one who draws out the first blow.

My vote will suck monkey dick.

Week 7

Lane got evicted by a 5-2 vote. I'm already calling myself as the winner of the next HoH competition. I will nominate Kevin and Kristen. Josh as replacement if veto is used. If Josh wins veto and uses it, Shane goes up.

Non-negotiable. This will happen week 8. For Lane.

[Kat]

For you if you win HOH;

[Roddy]

= Me + Jenn + Frank

More on that later

[Roddy]

Hi. I'm Roddy. I talk shit. And lose competitions.

Week 8

So right now, it's at post-veto stage, but let me do a quick recap this week.

I was super motivated to win HoH. I was focused, listened to each houseguest's voice, and did the competition. In competitions like this in the past, I knew accuracy was more important than speed. But with wanting to win, I was so consumed with making sure I was fast that I immediately realized I got an answer wrong when I submitted the picture.

Cassi won HoH, and I was excited. I thought she would be able to carry out the week how I wanted. But low and behold, she wanted Shane out. Frank told me she originally wanted to nominate Jenn and myself. That made me on edge, and encouraged me to talk game/strategy with her, to develop a rapport with her, gain trust in me and hopefully not nominate me. She ended up nominating Shane and Jenn, with the intention of wanting Shane out.

But wait a second buddy. Shane's online! And guess what. Before Cassi told me he was the target, I made up with him. I directly made sure he was with me, and not with Kevin and Joshuah. He assured me he was with me. But had I spoken to Cassi first, and now knowing she wanted Shane out, I wouldven't done that. But now that Shane is looking for me as an ally, I'm an obvious pickle now that he's nominated next to Jenn, the person that vetoed me the very week prior.

Shane received houseguest choice for veto selection, and he chose Cinnamon Buns. Made sense to me; he didn't want me to be in a position to choose between him and Jenn. So if anything, that same logic could be used in the vote. Hopefully that'll let him down easy.

Annie won veto, and decided not to use it.

Now it's looking like Frank and I are FOR SURE voting Shane, and Josh and Kevin are FOR SURE voting Jenn. Cinnamon Buns and Annie are in the middle. But I can imagine Jenn surviving, as long as the house isn't completely trolling me, and that Cassi is telling me the truth.

Jenn, Frank, and I made an official final 3 pack. Jenn wanted us to come up with a name. I had the idea of doing it mad lib style, one of us picking a adverb/adjective/noun, and that's how we came up with anxiously repulsive tambourines.

Jenn knows that Frank is my final 2. She used the veto on me, so she deserved a treat. I also told her if something happens to Frank (him getting evicted), that she would be next in line to be my final 2. But this is all contingent that her knowledge of me and Frank stays between me, her, my DR and her DR.

Oh hi. I've made it within the first half of the game without winning a single competition. I was nominated, yet someone used the veto on me. Go me.

[Roddy]

Live DR, prior to eviction results Week 8
