JUNE 4TH, 2010 — "After Roddy left last night, I was feeling a little guilty. We talked after he left the house and I explained to him that everyone was getting rid of him because of the speculation of bedroom's ending. He seemed to understand, but that still didn't make me feel any less guilty. I felt bad that he had gotten voted out, but I think had I even given him a sympathy vote, I would have been found out and targeted in a future week. With Roddy leaving the house, this only left me in one alliance, my 4-way alliance with myself, James, Chelsia, and Steven. However, not for long. Monica and I's bond quickly transitioned into a F2 alliance, which I honor more than the 4-way alliance I'm currently in. Monica and I have grown really close and I trust her more than those 3. We dubbed our alliance, "The Golden Girls," with myself being Blanche, and her Rose. It's more or less us paying our respects to the recently deceased Rue McClanahan and the other Golden Girl's that have passed away! Plus, it suits us pretty well! So with two good alliances under my belt, I felt really good going into the next Head of Household competition, seeing myself as safe if I had lost this week and not gotten HoH.

The challenge was a dice-rolling one, in otherwords: luck. I'm not good when it comes to luck, but the game also possessed a chance to use strategy as well, as you could pick who to vote off if your number was rolled. I managed to make it all the way to the end with Chelsia. Michelle was the final number rolled and had the opportunity to decide who won HoH. I was scared as hell. Why, do you ask? Well this week was announce as a double eviction this week, and the HoH had to nominate three people for eviction. How would I be able to do this without exposing my alliances? I panicked like crazy. I ran to Michelle as she was about to make her decision, and said to choose Chelsia 'cause I didn't want a target on my back for getting another HoH win. She insisted that I take the victory because she knew Chelsia was supposedly hardcore pushing for Monica to get out of the house. I couldn't have that, so I told her to just give it to me, because I didn't want Monica going up on the block and possibly being evicted. So what do you know, I'm HoH again!

When it came to deciding who to put on the block, I was actually able to play it safe, because I had totally forgot about Dr. Will. I put up Marcellas, Matt, and Dr. Will. I'm hoping that Marcellas and Matt bite the dust this week, and Will is safe. I clearly stated in my nomination speech that Will was just a pawn, so if he gets mad or something .. I don't really care. I mean, I'm not even out to get him nor do I have anything against him. The fact is, is that I had to nominate a third. Rules are rules, and I can't nominate Monica, or anyone from my alliance. Monica and I also talked, and she brought up the idea of possibly backdooring the like of James this week if he wasn't selected for Power of Veto and lost. I honestly love the idea of getting him out because he's such a damn threat in this game with his Veto victories. However, backdooring him would mean turning on two other people in the process and that's too many enemies so soon in the game. If it comes down to me making a decision, I may just play it safe and keep nominations the same. I'm sure Monica will understand and there won't be any turmoil or issues. If James got picked and won .. that'd be best case scenario."
