Well, I'll try to add more later but nominations were good. This is my convo with June from last night:
Buffy Zanzibar 5:23 pm
Hey Jun
Jun Song 5:23 pm
Hey!
Buffy Zanzibar 5:23 pm
how are you?
Jun Song 5:23 pm
I was hoping you would message me! Because I really want to talk!
Buffy Zanzibar 5:23 pm
oh well glad I did lol
Jun Song 5:23 pm
I'm good, glad that I won head of household!
Buffy Zanzibar 5:23 pm
congrats on HOH!
Jun Song 5:23 pm
Thank you!
I was surprised that I won it!
Buffy Zanzibar 5:24 pm
lol i was just looking at my answers
Jun Song 5:25 pm
I usually do good on these kind of things... I'm just glad I won something.
Jun Song 5:25 pm
About time
lol
Buffy Zanzibar 5:25 pm
yeah I don't blame you
Jun Song 5:25 pm
So listen, I really want to talk to about something.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:25 pm
ok
Jun Song 5:26 pm
Obviously, this game has moved pretty fast due to inactives and what not... and we're already at final eight. The thing is... I never have had any contact with Amanda. I don't feel safe if she were to win Head of Household next week and personally, I feel like my best game move would be to nominate her.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:26 pm
right
and yeah the game has been so weird - kind of fast but kind of slow at the same time
Jun Song 5:27 pm
I know that Ian is targetting you guys... but if Amanda were to win, she would target me. So I feel like it would be in my best interest to nominate Amanda.
Jun Song 5:27 pm
I just am nervous that if you were to win the veto, you would save her.
Because I realllllly don't want her to get off the block.
And I know she's your player so I was wondering what you feel about it
Buffy Zanzibar 5:28 pm
Okay, well I'm not surprised that you would say that or think that and tbh I have thought about this since we are down to 5 past winners and 3 newbies
and I can definitely understand why you would feel like I would save her
I mean if I won HOH I wouldn't put up past winners because I really do agree that the newbies would target us
Buffy Zanzibar 5:29 pm
but I also know that, depending on how things go, if both Amanda and I were to stay - we would be targeted together just because of the twist
just like with the other newbs and their "coaches"
I'm not saying I wouldn't feel kind of bad about her going but I would feel at least like the target was a little less on me if you know what i mean?
Jun Song 5:31 pm
Right, and that's what I'm trying to figure out. I do really like you and I want to stick to winners as long as possible... but I really don't want you to use that veto on Amanda if you would win it.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:31 pm
I'm not going to save her if I win veto - well depending if I play in veto
Jun Song 5:31 pm
Because I feel like that would be terrible.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:32 pm
no i understand
but i'm a little more concerned about the ian/russell/porsche thing that I heard about - not sure if it's true but I wouldnt be surprised
Jun Song 5:33 pm
You have heard that Ian/Russell/and Porsche are together? =-O
Buffy Zanzibar 5:33 pm
yeah but I don't have any evidence of that - just something neil said to me on his way out
Buffy Zanzibar 5:34 pm
are you asking me to promise you that I won't save amanda if you don't put me up?
Jun Song 5:35 pm
Kind of Lol! I feel like I can play it safe by like putting both you up the block, that way... if you win, you save yourself.
But I don't want to jeopardize our alliance because I really don't want you out at all.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:35 pm
you're putting me up?
Jun Song 5:35 pm
No, not necessarily!
I'm running scenarios!
Buffy Zanzibar 5:35 pm
right
Jun Song 5:35 pm
And if I would win the veto, I would use it on you and put up another pawn to get rid of Amanda.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:36 pm
well, I guess I would just say while I do feel bad about not being around much - because of stuff in rl and because the game has kind of been weird with expulsions and then moved pretty slow the last couple of weeks, I wouldn't have put up any of the winners if I'd won
Jun Song 5:36 pm
I'm just like nervous because of course, we haven't talked much. I know you and Amanda are close... and I think it puts you in a tough position.... and if you were to use on Amanda... my game would be in a really bad spot.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:36 pm
lol no we're not close
she's my "player" because I picked her but I don't ever talk to her
if you are concerned about a team or someone who would save someone it's definitely not me and amanda
I will tell you I won't use it and I can understand why you would be concerned about it but I'm being honest
Jun Song 5:38 pm
I believe you then!
And I think I'm leaning towards Russell and Amanda now that we've talked.
It was just... we haven't talked in awhile and I didn't know where you stood with things like that.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:39 pm
yeah I get it
I haven't talked to many people and I feel lame about that :-\
Jun Song 5:39 pm
Me neither
this HoH has been my excuse to put in an effort!
Buffy Zanzibar 5:39 pm
I can't get on during work and there hasn't been much going on during the weekends
lol yeah i mean if there was more to do then i'd do it ....
and sometimes i log on so late at night no one's around
Jun Song 5:40 pm
By the way, have you talked to Britney at all lately?
Buffy Zanzibar 5:41 pm
not for a while, have you?
Jun Song 5:41 pm
Off and on
Buffy Zanzibar 5:41 pm
I think the last we talked was when Neil and Ian were nominated
can I ask you who said Amanda and I were close or was that just an assumption?
Jun Song 5:42 pm
I was actually told that =-O
And now, I'm starting to wonder where people stand.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:42 pm
hm well whoever said that isn't trustworthy lol
I will tell you the last time I talked to Amanda was way back in the beginning
I'm a little embarrassed to even tell you that because it makes me look like a bad coach lol...
Buffy Zanzibar 5:43 pm
but Neil even told me Amanda complained about me not being online
and I haven't talked to her since
Jun Song 5:43 pm
I never messaged Jase or Michelle <3
Buffy Zanzibar 5:43 pm
I could look up the date i last talked to her but I'm pretty sure it was the day we picked our teams lol
Jun Song 5:43 pm
I think I was almost manipulated =-O
Buffy Zanzibar 5:44 pm
well yeah obviously if someone was telling you that I'm sure they were trying to since it's not even true
Buffy Zanzibar 5:45 pm
the only tie i have to her is the twist and, like i said, that just puts a target on me if she stays in the game
so yeah im not being that nice but whatever lol
Jun Song 5:45 pm
Now that I am thinking about it.
I don't know if putting up Amanda would be smart at all.
Because if I were to put up Amanda and Russell...
Amanda would go home.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:46 pm
porsche/ian would vote out amanda
Jun Song 5:46 pm
But I def do think Russell/Ian/Porsche/ and mybe Dani have a thing.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:46 pm
could be
the quack pack :-P
Jun Song 5:46 pm
It really wouldn't surprise me at all.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:46 pm
idk - i don't know why neil said what he said but that's what he told me - minus Danielle though
Jun Song 5:47 pm
Danielle was his coach though.. so he couldve been trying to help.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:47 pm
I told Britney that he said that and she seemed to think it was true
danielle was whose coach?
I was Neil's coach
Jun Song 5:47 pm
Oh wait
nvm
thats you.
I am thinking Ian and Russell now.
I don't trust Russell.
I just would need to scrap up some sort of deal with Amanda for safety next week if she were to win head of household.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:49 pm
well, whatever you want to do just let me know - and I will just put this out there that I'd really like to work with you because I feel like I'm kind of on the outside of whatever is going on
Jun Song 5:49 pm
I feel the sameeee way.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:49 pm
but it does irritate me that someone told you that - about me and Amanda
Jun Song 5:49 pm
And I def would want to work with you on a closer level.
If I tell you... do I have your word you will not repeat?\
Because like, I am more than willing on working with you on a closer level.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:50 pm
yes definitely
Jun Song 5:50 pm
Danielle
Buffy Zanzibar 5:50 pm
she told you that?
I promise not to say a word
Jun Song 5:51 pm
Danielle Reyes (7:57:15 PM): Brit/Jen have said multiple times they like Amanda so I think they might have some sort of agreement with her for later on in the game, and it would make sense why they havent touched her at all yet but they have every other newbie
Buffy Zanzibar 5:51 pm
but now that I know this it seems kind of obvious she is trying to keep russell and herself and/or russell/ian off the block
because if what neil said was true, maybe there is a 4-way alliance going on there
and omg I haven't even talked to danielle since the first day either lol
look, i will pull up my logs if you want to see but it pisses me off she is trying to do this :-P
Jun Song 5:54 pm
I am deff thinking there is a thing there... which leaves me thinking Ian and Russell are the best nominations.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:54 pm
I talked to her on 9/10 and 9/11
I'm really glad we talked
Jun Song 5:55 pm
Me too.
I feel like my over view of the game is so much clearer now.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:56 pm
yeah me too
Buffy Zanzibar 5:56 pm
I feel like Neil was telling the truth
so what about Britney?
Jun Song 5:57 pm
I think Britney is like... just hanging in the middle.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:57 pm
I wonder if you and I should talk to her about doing something together
Jun Song 5:57 pm
I was just going to say that
To have like a core three.
Buffy Zanzibar 5:57 pm
because I feel like if there is something going on with porsche/danielle and their players...
Jun Song 5:57 pm
Because I feel like there is something going on over there.
So the rest of us need to join up
Buffy Zanzibar 5:58 pm
but i would be careful about saying anything to amanda because I really feel like she could be working with russell/ian too - just maybe not with their coaches
well probably not with them
i mean yeah make her promise you safety or w/e
Buffy Zanzibar 5:59 pm
but yeah I would definitely work with you and britney
I know Britney said stuff about Ian at the beginning and him maybe being anti-coach but im sure all the players were at that time lol
Jun Song 6:00 pm
Yeah, I completely agree.
And if us three gain together... competition wise, I think we are the three strongest.
If we can get Ian out this round... I feel like we will have a great shot!
Buffy Zanzibar 6:01 pm
yeah well it's getting tricky like you said
because yeah, i want the winners to stick together but you know they're going to have to start turning on each other eventually and it totally makes sense that danielle/porsche may have become pro-active toward that already
I'm glad we talked and relieved she nominated Russell/Ian. Hopefully nominations stand.
Well, I'll try to add more later but nominations were good. This is my convo with June from last night:
Buffy Zanzibar 5:23 pm
