JUNE 2ND, 2010 — "Last week's wish of Ivette leaving the house was granted! I'm glad that she left the house, because she was bland .. and pretty damn boring. With it a new week in the house, I was expecting a normal, casual week .. but knowing Julie Chen, she pulls out a special twist. The week ends up being "Pick Your Poison", where you select to either participate in the Luxury, HoH, or PoV Competition, but only one of them. I really debated on which to pick. I mean, I figured the Luxury Competition would be winning like, the Coup D'etat or perhaps like a special Immunity pass, you know? That's not really a necessity of mine at this point in the game, as I'm pretty comfortable with my alliances, so I decided not to go for that. Then it came down to the HoH and PoV. I figured alot of people would jump at the HoH and want to win it so they could have control, so I ultimately decided to go with the PoV because I hadn't won one yet. I also had this deep feeling in my gut that someone from the other bedroom was going to win, so I wanted to be sure that I was safe and covered had I won the Power of Veto. So naturally, I did it and everything .. hoping I'd win the Veto.

Luxury Competition results came out and Michelle won it, which was good for her. I can say that I've become pretty good friends with Michelle, but her and I aren't like .. aligned or anything. She's a real sweetheart though, and she's been my eyes and ears throughout the game at different intervals. So she won like a prize that kept her off the nomination block for two weeks which is great for her. Definitely keeps her in the game a little bit longer. After that, the winner of the Head of Household was named, and I was seriously in awe. Marcellas won for Bedroom #1. I was like .. speechless. Out of all the people in the other bedroom .. Marcellas was the one who won? It was kind of shocking, and it put me in a really scary position as I had nominated him my week as HoH. I instantly sent him a PM and asked if he could keep me safe, because he wasn't an intentional target of mine that first week, and he knew that. April had been. He seemed really understanding about it and he kept me safe and nominated both Roddy and James for eviction. Roddy and myself are in a F2 alliance, which I asked to make because Roddy's good at challenges and so am I; we would go really far.

James is in my 4-way inter-crossed bedroom alliance. However, if I had to pick .. I would've evicted James because he's too good at PoV. But what do you know. James ended up winning the Veto and took himself off the block. Of 'course. With James removing himself for possible eviction, Marcellas had to name a replacement nominee and he chose the almost inactive Matt. With Matt up on the block, I figured everyone would just go with voting him out because he was an inactive, you know? However, when I had talked with Monica she explained to me that the bedroom alliances were probably ending tonight due to reaching Jury stage after eviction, and also that the majority of the house was probably evicting Roddy. Not wanting to be in the minority of the vote, I changed my vote at the last minute to Roddy. I hated doing it, but my one, mere vote wouldn't have kept Roddy in the game anyways. When the results were revealed, Roddy left the game in an overwhelming 7-0 vote, and what do you know .. the bedroom alliances then ended."
