Phil's Diary Room

[Phil]

WOO Magnum won HOH. Now I get to have a major "told you so" moment whenever he nominates someone next to me. Everyone voted to keep Magnum on their side because they thought he would work with them. But he can't work with anyone because he can't get me out so now he'll have to choose sides. Time to make him betray someone smilesmile.

[Phil]

Update: Magnum messaged me asking where my head's at. I definitely want to avoid letting him know who I think he should nominate. I really truly do want to see who he nominates on his own. Like I said I want to see him choose a side rather than try to confer with me and in some way push it back on me in any way.

He says he's open to working with me, and honestly I am open to working with him. The other guys pretty much pissed me off because they're basically telling each other what I say. That's not cool. Even if Magnum nominates me, I'm totally fine with it since I have my DPOV, duh. But if he really does wanna work with me, then I'll bite and see where it goes.

At this point, I don't really have any loyalty to anyone. I haven't decided how I'm going to use the DPOV. LOL I got a message from Jhon the other day and he was like "too bad we don't have two vetos, right?" I cackled because it sounds suspiciously like he knows I have the DPOV winkwink. I've thought that Vova/Briq had been pretty tight lipped about it. Maybe they have. Maybe they haven't. I haven't told anyone else, and I don't plan to until it comes out I have it or when its time for me to play it. The only people I told were Briq/Vova/James LOL.

The fact that Magnum wants to talk is pretty cool. I WAS DEAD SET ON GETTING RID OF HIM LAST ROUND LOL. I felt bad. I always secretly wanted to work with Magnum, but everyone else put more effort into talking game with me so I ran with it. If we're gonna start working together now...it doesn't seem like such a bad time, does it?

[Phil]

Briq [in group PM between him/me/Vova]

"Have any of you guys tried talking with mags? We could be in some trouble"



HAHAHAHAHA.

[Deleted]

1. Are you thinking of using the DPOV knowing that this is the last time it can be used?

2. Who are you thinking of voting out if the nominations stay the same?

[Phil]

I will only use it on myself if necessary!! Smile smile. If I have to use it I'll prob put up Briq trololol.

[Phil]

And I will vote Cole. He's a bigger comp threat

[Dewie890]

magnum is not using the veto, do you want to use the DPOV? If you do I will include it in the veto ceremony.

[Phil]

Nope I will keep it as a souvenir! Whoohoo.

[Phil]

My vote is for Cole.

Goodbye messages:

Cole: WELP! Not much for me to say buddy. I guess we were not destined for F2. Frownfrown

Vova: uhh I didn't vote you out so don't blame me!!

[Dewie890]

Hey jerko. PM...

[Phil]

I think I also pmed but it took me forever to figure out how to send two two recipients

Or it just failed . In which case... Whatev.

[Dewie890]

I forgive you Phil, Kenny is kinda hot about it though

[Phil]

Thanks dewsh yer a pal.

Diary room stuff: Final five! Dudnt have to use my DPOV. I had such nice plans for it but they got ruined. Oh well I'm proud that I dudnt have to use it. I think that's says a lil about my social game and my sparkling personality duh. I made a final three with Magnum and Jhon. I also have a Final three with Briq and Vova. I also have a final two with Briq. Honestly my ideal plan would be to have Briq win hoh trololol. I.... Actually don't want to win. Even though... I kinda do and I kinda feel like I have to. I just don't trust anyone enough to try to get through this without comp wins. Butttt Id rather compete in the F4 hoh rather than not. So scary. Then again, at this stage of the game, it alllll comes down to veto wins. So ima have to step it up. I was ok dropping out of this past veto. I knew magnum was capable enough to take on Cole. I needed to look like a non threat, even though that's probably not possible. Magnum needs to be the biggest comp threat so ppl take him out before taking me out. I know how much vova is benefitting from sucking so much and I'm quite jealous of him. Briq needs to step it up. Honestly, I don't rly wanna see Briq i the finals but I don't think I'd mind sitting next to him. I think I've seen through a bunch of his bulksh*t thst I could maybe call him out in front if some jurors? I've... Been quite flippy floppy, but somehow I think that's expected of me? Or.... People don't know how flip floppy I've been? Like... I *think* both magnum/Jhon and Briq/vova think I'm with them to f3. I've already made it clear to Briq that I want him to choose me over vova. Not sure if it would happen, but I honestly think I could convince him to. That's kinda why I want him to win hoh this round, cuz I think he'd target magnum/Jhon over me?

I'm prettttyy sure he has a deal with magnum though. Magnum was very adamant about keepony noms the same. He was very worried about putting another person up. I think he made dude deals with everyone and now he looks like he jept his deal to everyone. I have no idea who he would hsve out up in comes place. I'd like to think Briq but it could be me. That's why I dint fully trust magnum... Or anyone. No one has really truly shown their deep allegiances yet. This didnt really reveal a whooollleee lot to me. I'm happy about the alliance that I made with magnum and Jhon. It *seems* sincere, but they are both very strategic players who hold their thoughts close to their chest and speak in code. Much like myself.

We're all.... Quiet now. We're very strategic and deep down we are all playing hard. Well tbh I dunno bout vova but sure why not?

Funny... At F7 my goal was to get rid of one person from each of my percieved "sides". One of Briq/vova/alad and one of magnum/Jhon/Cole. In the end it didn't quite matter to me. But I was gunning for diff people. But... In sort of a roundabout way, I ended up right where I wanted to be. Back in the middle at the f5. I'm much less confident about how my plans play out after my hoh snafu. But... I guess i made it to where I wanted so im happy. I think I'm in an ok spot but I guess I could be wrong.

Cooooool. Final five. Bet no one thought I'd make it this far go me. Pray for me.

[Phil]

I love my non-proofread mobile posts complete with autocorrect typos.

[Phil]

So I did this HOH challenge....slowly. It took me forever to go through the thread and find the answers n sh*t. Like I thought I was going real slow. Then Jhon was all like, "so how'd you do?", and I'm all "It took me 18 minutes". Well Jhon apparently did it in 12 minutes with 4 mistakes. And I'm just like... how do you get four mistakes unless you are intentionally trying to throw? It's NOT hard to just go through the thread and do it. I don't think I got any mistakes, but I also didn't check my answers so I could have gotten some and not known it. I don't care though.

LIKE I KIND OF DONT WANT TO WIN THIS CHALLENGE because I'd rather try to win the next HOH. But whatever. So, I'm KIND OF ANNOYED that I think Jhon is blatantly throwing it. Because it means he's in the same spot I wanna be. LOL.

EVERYONE is making deals with EVERYONE to the point that no deals matter. Like, if Briq or Jhon or Vova win, I *should* be safe because I have deals with them. But if they all have deals with everyone else, then that means I'm not safe at all. And I feel like if Jhon is throwing, then he thinks he's safe with Briq or Me or Vova if any of us win. So, its a case of "everyone's special, so no one is". If you know what I mean.

If I win HOH, I'm gonna get people to admit to all the deals they're making. Cuz I already think MAGNUM made F3 deals with like every person. He needed to make deals with people to keep himself safe for this round. I know BRIQ is making hella deals, and I have a F3 with all four other players in the F5. So, if I can get everyone else to expose the fact that they have deals with everyone, then I can break some of my deals and not even care.



Or whoever wins HOH can just keep me safe. That works.

Or I can just win every veto from here on out and say f*ck it. That works too.

[Phil]

WHAT THE HELL.

I WON HOH?

HOW ARE THESE PEOPLE THAT TERRIBLE?

They have to be throwing. You don't just get that many wrong on an easy a** motherf*ckin comp like this.

JESUS, PEOPLE.

1. What information have you gathered as far as alliances and deals go?

2. Who would you like to see leave this week?


3. Who do you think has the best chance of beating you in the final two?

[Phil]

1. What information have you gathered as far as alliances and deals go?
I don't know if I've actually gathered any factual information about alliances. I honestly think that everyone has some sort of deal with everyone else. Although, I'm quite certain Magnum doesn't have a deal with Briq or Vova anymore. I think there is a lot of truth to the alliances of Jhon/Magnum and Briq/Vova, but I also think there is wiggle room for one person on each side. I think Jhon/Briq have a secret side deal. I have no evidence to support this, I just think they do. I think Briq has tried to make a deal with everyone. And Jhon has held his cards so close to his chest, he doesn't really reveal much. I am technically in a F3 alliance with Magnum/Jhon. I am ... probably technically in a F3 alliance with Briq/Vova. I made my alliance with Briq/Vova much earlier than I made mine with Jhon/Magnum. Likewise, I had one-on-one side deals with both Briq and Jhon separately from very early on in this game. It's like all the fall back alliances that I made "just in case" are coming back to haunt me now. I actually don't feel bad at all making all these alliances, cuz I just have to remember that they all made a mega alliance without me, and still to this day no one has really admitted to it or owned up to it or told me much about it. So, basically I feel like I have *some* allegiance to everyone left. The two other people who I think are in a similar situation as me (as in they have a million f*cking alliances) are Jhon and Briq. I dunno that's just what I think and I don't even care if I'm wrong.

2. Who would you like to see leave this week?
Anyone of the four. Ironically, I think I'd rather Magnum stay. Even though he makes me nervous cuz he's my only competition threat. I ... honestly don't care who leaves. And I don't mean that in a mean or bad way. I just don't. But that's just the way I am playing this game. I've tried targetting people, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. And other times I literally don't care. Either way, I'm gonna go into the F4 with *some* sort of pair.


3. Who do you think has the best chance of beating you in the final two?
I think anyone could beat me in the F2. But I think I could out-talk any of them and call them out on their bullsh*t. I've always said I think Magnum is a silent threat and I think he could be a formidable F2 contestant. Same with Briq. Briq has been WORKIN' the jury sooo hard, but I know I can call him out on *some* of his bullsh*t. He could prob call me out on some of mine too. Jhon/Vova, I don't really know. I know Jhon knows this game and has been playing very well. He's just been so Beta. He plays too safe. I could maybe capitalize on that.

But you know what idrgaf because I'm probably still playing for 3rd and maybe 4th now, haha.

[Phil]

I think I've actually decided my target is Jhon. Even though I know Magnum has a good shot at winning veto, and Magnum would be the only person who would take him off. If Magnum wins, I might try to convince him not to use it by saying that Jhon and Briq are secretly in an alliance and that's why I nominated them. LOL. I, just kinda slept on it and decided that I wanted to target Jhon. If Magnum wins next HOH, then I think he's more likely to nominate Briq and Vova initially. Even though I know nominations don't matter, I kinda want Magnum to just win HOH and hopefully not nominate me. I'd rather compete against Magnum as HOH rather than against as a potential evictee.

I decided I didn't want to nominate Magnum. I'd feel scummy, because, well, I think I've been able to have real conversations with Magnum more than I have with others in the recent days. Even though I was aligned with Magnum way later than I was aligned with Briq/Vova. Plus, I want to be his "challenge threat" buddy, and I want to convince him to take me to F2 if we're in the F3 together. Jhon is the only person I think he'd take to the F2. But, I'm a little worried that he doesn't like that I put up Jhon. He hasn't really said anything super negative -- in fact no one has.

Briq is worried. And I'm glad. I want to put pressure on Briq. He tried to tell me how much being up sucks and why he tries to avoid it so much. I'm like, dude. I know. We all know. Except you and Jhon. But now you do. So yeah. I told Briq I would save him in any tie breaker situation. Which is true. I would. I have spoken to him about getting Vova out, and I think he'd understand if I actually went through with it this round, even if he doesn't like it. My first target is Jhon. Then Vova as a backup if Magnum wins POV and takes of Jhon. Vova as a replacement if Jhon takes himself off. Vova as a replacement if Briq takes himself off. Magnum as a replacement if Vova wins and takes Briq off. Magnum as a replacement if Vova wins and takes Jhon off.

I actually want the vote to tie because I want to cast the tiebreaker. I decided that last night too. That's why I put one person from each pair up. Hoping that the vote would go to tie and I can just break it. Another reason why I put up one person from each side is so that I can tell different things to different people, and see who spreads it around. The first rumor that gets back to me, I will know who is spreading stuff. My experiences before is that whatever I say just gets spread around. So I'm just owning that and telling people whatever. LOL.

Overall, this is kind of a sucky HOH and I don't really think my game is being helped all that much. But as Cartman says:

[Deleted]

What ultimately made you decide to evict Jhonmarco instead of Briq?
