What a strange week this one turned out to be. It's definitely a week of highs and lows for me, and I'm ending it on a total downer of a note. This cast, man, this cast. Anyways, let's go through it somewhat chronologically.
This week started of rather well! After the whole Laura fiasco, I was feeling pretty damn good about my relationships with most everyone--I wasn't super deep or close with anyone but at the same time I had a working relationship with just about everyone left in the game (except for Rachel & Caleb). Even Jessie I've had a few little conversations with. So I was feeling good.
The the HoH competition was announced, and it was certainly an intense one. But more intense than that was the fact that one person from each team would be getting a Golden Key, and only three members would compete. I knew that I would be available for pretty much the entire challenge, and would want to compete. I really didn't plan on winning (though it would have been an easy week for HoH). Between the other three, I honestly didn't care. At that point I was good with Da'Vonne and Steve, and Kevin was kind of whatever for me. But very soon after the competition announcement, Day comes in on the group chat and just goes "I want the Golden Key, that cool with you all?" So Kev & I say that that's fine with us but Steve says he also can't make it right at the start, in a NICE way. And Day goes "well, I said that I couldn't make it 2 hours ago so....." basically implying that she should get the key. Steve, been the sweetie that he is just relents. But it rubbed him the wrong way, and we talked about it. AND to make it worse, Day was literally on for the entire challenge posting stupid ass gifs all the time. So she obviously just wanted the safety, which is so obnoxious and rude of her.
The competition started and the entire Da'Vonne situation just went even further south. So we are kinda chit chatting about things in our team chat (mostly complaining about how long this challenge would take ngl), and Day out of nowhere starts talking AGAIN about making a cross team alliance with Team....Saturn (whichever is Victoria/Nick/Renny/Jessie). She asks everyone's opinions about it, and Kevin says he's fine with it. I decide to just stay quiet for a bit (because avoidance <3) but Steve speaks up and voices his dissent. Steve was already agitated from earlier, and Day did not take it well. And I was on Steve's side for sure. Da'Vonne should really be called Dev'onne with her obsession with giant ass alliances. They just don't work--and nobody else cares as much about the whole "team" thing as Day from what I gather. What really got me about this was when Day said "Ok Steve, I'll tell them you don't want an alliance with them then it's all good
" which is such subtle blackmail and such such bullshit. It got a little heated, and basically the tension between Day & Steve is through the roof now. Kevin (who seems to be a Day minion?) & I seem to be in the middle of it. I'm almost certain that Day has told everyone about Steve too, because she's a petty petty girl.
Anyways, the other major thing that happened that night was the formation of a new alliance between myself, Steve, Britney, and Jace. I'm of two minds about this alliance--I really really like all of these people and WANT this alliance to be a real thing but I kind of feel like it's been super awkward ever since it's inception? Idk, we have barely spoken in our group chat, nobody even mentioned a thing about who Jace was going to nominate, and I just kind of feel like Jace (a very popular player--more on him next confessional) probably already is in like four other alliances. So idk, I really don't know. I HOPE that this is a real thing but it feels so haphazardly constructed. Still, I do have trust with all three on some level. As mentioned Jace won HoH after a hilarious competition (him getting to sleep and still win was lol), and he targeted Jen & Renny. Which was all fine by me, Jen's been on multiple people's lips.
The thing that I feel like symbolized my mood & outlook on the game this week ended up being when I got sent to Planet X by Jace and received the no vote. I wasn't initially upset about it--less blood on my hands and an easy week. But at the same time I feel like a total dead fish this week, both strategically and socially. I don't know what it is but holy shit are these people really hard to talk to. I literally cannot hold conversations with just about anyone at this point. Which is so weird, because I had multiple good conversations that first "week" and even at the start of this week. But since Planet X, everything has just been so so awkward. Even people like Steve, Jace, Victoria, Britney...who I had GREAT convos with all at one point or another have been flat. Literally Stevey was giving me one word answers the other day. For like, an hour and a half. It was so so weird. So it's really affected my motivation for this game to be completely honest. I committed, I'm not going anywhere, but it's why this confessional took so long to write. And I don't want to make it sound like I'm not at fault--I've been less active during the daytime than usual and I've never been the best conversationalist but I've been trying and getting basically a big fat zero lately. So that's my goal this next week---rekindle some kind of social relationships with these people. Wake them the fuck up. We'll see how it goes.
Oh, and about Angie.........I have nothing to say. She is playing this game. She is playing as Angie. She was immune. Not much there. Vanilla.
