Week 9: Nomination, Veto & Eviction Ceremonies

[Sophie Reade]

Nominated:

Billi & Dan

[Sophie Reade]

Once JJ is ready he will commence his veto ceremony. If he keeps nominations the same then Imogen will be the sole vote in this weeks eviction. If either Billi or Dan are vetoed then they will be the sole vote this week. JJ, make your decision once you're ready. Then whoever has to vote will make their decision as well in here. If you guys need more time to make a decision then let me know asap so I can adjust the schedule for the Final Head of Household competition. That's all and good luck.

[JJ]

First and foremost, I’m shocked to have won this week’s POV. I thought I did dreadful on the challenge but obviously not. It is a great feeling know that you’re safe and heading firmly into final three. At the same time, there is a dreaded decision to be made here; one that I’m sure everyone remaining can admit will never get easy.

Throughout the game I think there has been some tough calls to make, I’m not going to sit here and name them but it has happened. Each of us have done a good job to get here and should be proud of getting 4th.

I have made my decision and it is one that I’ve been thinking about for a couple of rounds and decided only to act upon it this round.

I have decided to take Billi off of the nomination block and therefore be replaced by Imogen.

Imogen, let me take this time to say that I’m sorry. We have been a partnership that many desired and we’ve worked hard to get where we are. The reason that both of us still remain in the game this far is because of you. You have pulled me through thick and thin of this game and it is you who has been a powerhouse to solidify us as such a successful partnership. It is that precise reason that I’ve decided to take Billi off because at the end of the day, this is a game and we are playing for number one. I’d be a complete fool if I didn’t at least try this move and if I didn’t target you now you would go on to beat everyone in the Final. I cannot simply, sit aside and let that happen, I don’t want to go into final 2 jury questioning and be nicknamed as someone who rode coattails. I want to be known as someone who made good decisions when the time mattered regardless of my dreadful competition record.

You have been a friend, a partner and a damn joy to be around and this decision is not personal AT ALL. I’ve enjoyed your company and I’m sorry that it has turned out this way.

I know you have JUST messaged me on AIM and it is cowardly of me not to talk to you about this first to pre-warn you. But I actually haven’t got that much time to discuss everything first and I’ve made my decision. I’m sorry.

Billi, you have the sole vote now, so it is up to you to evict whomever you choose.


Dan. I don’t respect you, I don’t like you much and I think you’re a dreadful player and this is by no means a vote to keep you around. I’ve saved your arse many times now and you don’t even know it. You probably dislike me just as much as I dislike you and frankly there is no love loss between us.

Hey guys, well first of all, i'd like to thank JJ for removing me from the block and giving me the opportunity to decide who stays and who goes this round.

However, before i announce my decision i would like to tell everyone a little story and reveal a huge secret that i have been carrying around this entire game.

Up until nine months ago, i was what you would consider your ordinary average gay male. When i wasn't working at Starbucks i spent a vast majority of my free time in gay bars trying to have gay sex with as many men as would stick their respective dicks in me. To say i was "flaming" would be an understatement, i practically had rainbows shooting out of my asshole.

Then one fateful autumn day we hired a new female employee at Starbucks, she was cute, friendly and interesting but i never thought of her to be anything more than a friend. As we became closer and closer, she eventually introduced me to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She explained to me that all of the actions I had been taking during my adult life were directed from the devil and had nothing to do with God's plan. Over the next few months she taught me how to "pray away my gay" and how to forgive myself for betraying God.

The last six months have been the best time of my life, my girlfriend and I just got an apartment together in June and we're even talking about possibly getting married and starting a family sometime soon. And thats my story.

All of you in this game may now be wondering exactly what this story has to do with the game, well the person that saved my life from the eternal fires of hell and the woman that i love more than anything on this planet, just so happens to be Imogen.

So as you can see, i cannot possibly evict her from this game, we started this thing together and hopefully we'll be at the end together. <33333


I VOTE TO EVICT DAN

[Sophie Reade]

It's official. Dan has been evicted.

[dan]

I didn't read any of that.

Dan, sad to see you go. Let's keep in touch after the game.

Billi, thanks! I guess being in a secret alliance with you from Day 1 proved useful. Yeah!

JJ, if you're going to try and backdoor me after publicly admiting that you rode my coattails for most of the game and after publicly admiting that you've plotted to get me out for weeks now even though I've stayed fiercely loyal to you as a F2 partner all game (even lately when I've had the power to boot you on multiple occasions if I had wanted to), the least you could do was make sure your plan would work. I'm still kind of upset that you broke our F2 pact and ruined my streak of never having been nominated, but I guess we'll just have to see what the future holds.

Best of luck to everyone in the F3.

[JJ]

Well I can't say that I saw that coming. But it's the nature of the game and lets face it Billi has truly been full of surprises all series. I suspected perhaps a little faction between you two but nowhere near as big as that. Part of me doesn't actually believe the whole storyline that you have created Billi, seems a tad far fetched if you ask me.

Imogen, don't be upset. I have indeed publicly admitted those things, and that doesn't change anything. Week after week we chatted and exchanged thoughts about the game and I don't think that all of that was a lie either. We discussed how certain jury members 'Had the best end story' and would walk away with the winning title. I'd be a hypocrite (as would you be) if I didn't see you in exactly the same way. You have the best end story and I do personally feel chuffed that I ruined your no nomination record I'd be stupid if I didn't try that move and you have to admit that yourself.

Dan wasn't exactly somebody to trust and Billi did a great job in convincing me he'd be the guy to do it. At this stage there is nothing left to do, other than to fight for the upcoming HOH... I still have 1/3 chance, we can either a have a loving bond between two people as our final pair, or it could be a little more entertaining.

I'm curious to know what the plan was, and why Imogen you indeed kept me around for so long? I admire your fierce loyalty but the least you can do is admire my sheer braveness.

I still have some questions but hey, won't be long before they'll be answered. Plus I may find myself in the jury soon looking in on a love in You both have done a stunning job of keeping it a secret, and by no means Imogen don't think that anything we exchanged throughout the game was a lie, not at all. It's a game... so I wish you both luck, lets play the game till the end.

[bbcurveimogen]

I don't doubt your friendship, JJ, though I am a bit burned by your attempt to oust me. Objectively, though, I'll even admit it was a smart move to try...there was just that extra variable you didn't realize was there. Dan, I'm sorry you had to be the collateral damage in this all.

Why did I want you around for so long, JJ? The same reason I wanted Billi around for so long. The two of you were my absolute closest allies and I wanted to position myself in the final rounds with tight and loyal allies in the event that something exactly like what happened this round - one ally turns on me so I need the help of a second ally to stay in the game - were to happen. I've remained loyal to you both and worked throughout the game to make sure each of you was always on board with keeping the other around when you each were nominated.

Absolutely, let's all three play the game to the end and I wish you both the best of luck in this last round of competition. And plus, there's always the very real possibility that I could Janelle myself out of the game at the F3 and you two could end up as the F2. Until then though, game on boys. <3

[Sophie Reade]

Final HoH will be posted soon. Can we do parts 2 & 3 live tomorrow at 8PM Eastern or 8:30?

[JJ]

That should be fine with me

[bbcurveimogen]

So Parts 2 and 3 will be at 8 or 830PM EST on Thursday evening? I just want to make sure I have my days right this time. O:)

If so, that'll work for me as well. As long as we don't go past 1030PM EST, I can be there.
