Hmmm so I am gone from the game for a few days and I come back to find I haven't been nominated. I was happy when I saw Britney had won HOH and happier with who she nominated. Not that I'm surprised at all. I might have liked to see someone other than Neil since he is one of my "players" but let's face it - I don't trust the guy and I think he would end up coming after me eventually. To go after Britney last round (I did warn him that she would win POV) and tell me he had the blessings of her players was not that pleasant to hear. He also told me he didn't want this to be a "team game" when I suggested working with Britney and her players as opposed to putting her up. While I can understand his hesitation, I think the writing is on the wall that this really is going to become a coaches vs player game and I am not sad that I am staying out of the crossfire a bit in that regard.
I've definitely been playing a lower-key game than I usually do. Part of that is because I have just not been around much so I just decided to try to capitalize on it. So far I haven't played in one veto and I haven't really made a showing in any of the HOH competitions. I'm out of the drama and haven't really given anyone a concrete reason to come after me - besides just being a coach and past winner.
So, will that change in the near future? Well, I know I can't play like this forever, nor would I really want to. I went out of town thinking I may come back to being on the block or even being evicted. I was ready to accept that but, now that I am sorta safe (depending on POV results and the possibility of being a replacement nom), I know I need to get my head into this game and do some work. I still plan to play non-aggressive until I need to step it up a bit. As far as when that will be, time will tell.
