Episode 3 - HBIC

[Casey Turner]

WHO WANTS TO SEE MY HOH ROOM!?!!

That's right, I can say that because for the next week I am HBIC (Head Bitch in Charge). I don't want to say that Kristen and Jessie held back, because everyone plays that position differently. But I am definitely gonna try and be more vocal than them and really milk this authority for all its worth.

I won in a Majority Rules competition... honestly it was surprisingly easy for me. The answers came pretty intuitively. I made it to the final 2 with Enzo and I ended up having a better tiebreaker answer than him. Which is FUNNY because I almost wanted to go back on my original answer to a number that would have lost me the comp. Phew.

I won two clue cards. I had already heard of them thanks to Kristen, but I had never received some before this HoH. I do not necessarily feel like I need to win the power myself, but I want to make sure that it ends up in the hands of someone I can trust. Enzo and I made a deal to work on this together so that someone doesn't get it that will screw us over. It was a good thing because it was a confirmation of something official with him, which I have really wanted.

Anyways, in the original nominations, I decided to target the easiest nominee for me. Brendon. My ceremony was 100% honest. I think talking to him is more boring than watching paint dry. And I painted the exterior of houses for a full goddamn summer. I must admit though, I LMFAO'd when I saw his super boring response to being called boring... part of me thinks he was trying about that in the DR and if so then good job!

Mike D was purely a pawn, which is basically his status in this game right now.

Right before veto, what happens? KATHY'S EXPULSION. Which I am sure everyone else is thrilled about but I am left saying 'goddamn'. I know that she hasn't given a shit about this game and I understand the decision, but not only did I lose a vote that was 100% in my corner, I lost one of the people I found most interesting (in her own fucked up way).

Once I saw the veto though, I knew I would lose. Ultimately I am not willing to put myself in a position where I am defenseless next week. I ended up with 'no vote' next week as a penalty and 'SHOUT IT OUT' as a prize (or at least thats how I see it ^_^). AND I DIDNT WIN VETO BECAUSE BORENDON WON! I did end up with two more clue cards though .

So after he won, I had to decide on replacement nominations. This was actually a really hard decision for me. There were a few different people who crossed my mind. Alison and Hayden in particular. But the more I thought about it, the more I started to doubt that decision.

The person who I really need to be concerned with is LANE. Despite being allied with him, Lane is one shady son of a bitch. He claims to be super honest but he does tons of shit talking - and not just about people on the outside of his alliance. I don't feel like I can trust him at all and he is supposed to be someone I depend on? I just don't trust him at all and I decided he needed to be nominated.

I wanted to make sure that the votes would be there if I put him up. Originally, the votes were Kristen, Boogie, Jessie and Alison plus mine as the tie breaker. I talked to each of them individually and they were all completely on board. The best part of this entire week is that I got to know Alison and I LOVE HER. She is really really funny and we get on great... I was too judgmental with her before.

I nominated Lane with a very fake speech where I called him a big threat. Puh-leez the guy is so transparent that no one with a brain will ever trust him - what's threatening about that? The only threatening aspect of Lane is that he is the type of player that if you DO keep around, will screw you because you were a moron for keeping them.

So I backstabbed Lane. And it felt ORGASMIC, GLORIOUS, INVIGORATING, REFRESHING AND EMPOWERING ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

The best part is that after the ceremony ended, everyone else seemed to be on board with getting rid of Lane. I thought I was gonna get some people pissed off at me, but even AMY was super cool about it (her stock jumped up significantly when I realized she is decently rational).

I pray to god that people follow through, but Lane is TOAST. He just doesnt know it yet. A lot of people would need to flip there votes and I just don't see that happening.

Overall, my week as HoH has been a success because I am entering the final 10 in a pretty good position after getting rid of someone I needed gone.

I will leave you off with a little Message I sent Lane. It was a follow up to this one he sent me:

Haha wow bud!
Wrong move!

All i've been is open and honest with you,
and you just made a huge enemy in me...

You honestly listened to what Diane had to say?
she's so full of crap! I did NOTHING last week to
Get votes....Diane heard it from someone else, and
she shouldn't have even taken that crap since she
heard it from Kathy! If you could actually back yourself up with one instance in where I flipped a vote, i'll leave you alone. Yes I talked to you about it because I trusted you and didn't want you on the outs, so there's another reason why I would say your reasoning is wrong about you not being in with me.

Hey Lane,

I just wanted to say that I read your private message to me and it made me realize I made a huge mistake in making you an enemy . I thought that to earn back your friendship I could give you some advice so you could improve in future ORGs. Here is a list of suggestions:

1. You could accept that AIM is a crucial part of most ORGs and that merely PMing people will not suffice in the long term.

2. You could be less obvious when you are lying to people or being transparent with them [see prev msg where you try and claim is that all you have been is open and honest with me when we both know that is not true]

3. You could have had some balls and posted your threats to me on the public boards instead of trying to intimidate me over a PM.

Hope this helps ^_^.

Good luck,
Casey
