*Darn it! I tried to do these in order but they did not post in order so you'll have to scroll down to see PART ONE!

Part two:

Then I get a PM from Corvis that he got a PM from Dear Abby and that Dear Abby thinks that she is in an alliance with Corvis and Michel. Corvis is just keeping me in the loop. This confirms for me that Michel is in multiple alliances. * I wonder if there is any player with whom Michel is NOT in an alliance.*

Wayne is voted out and on to week two.

Since Suzzee is not on anyone’s top alliance list, I send her a PM trying to form an alliance. No reply.

Alliances confirmed with Michel and Corvis.

In discussing the HOH comp with Kris, she writes: “Thanks again for voting to keep me. Of course, if I win HOH, i'm in a really tough spot, ya know?” That was not confidence inspiring, Kris, just so you know!

So I am trying to figure out who is allied with whom after week one:
Jbug Not Suzzee? Not me, not Corvis (that I knew of), probably Michel, possibly Kris, and D’Abby

Michel: D’Abby, Corvis, me, Kris …Jbug? Suzzee? LOL, EVERYONE!

D’Abby: Michel, Corvis, and…Jbug?

Kris: sorta me, yes Corvis and Michel, maybe Jbug? Could not tell

Corvis: me, Michel, D’Abby and maybe Jbug?

Suzzee: the best I could figure out was Michel

Suzzee wins HOH Week Two.

Before noms, Corvis pm’s me that he is in a 4 way alliance with Michel, Suzzee, and Dear Abby . Notice that the 4 way did not include me. The best I can do is stay cool and see what happens.

Then out of the freaking blue comes this squirrelly message from Michel:

“I guess you've talked to Suzzee. I've sent her a message myself, trying to see what she's thinking and hoping to keep us safe but I'm not sure yet. Maybe you could mention to her what you told me before, that D'Abby was pushing for you to use the Veto to save Wayne and get her nominated. That's how it happened, right?!!

With your question just before the challenge, I'm thinking you threw that HOH competition. Pretty confident but I think it's OK for this week. We will need to work to win these things because we are quickly getting close to the end. And what's a promise not to nominate me if you aren't in a position to nominate anyone?”

Now, what the heck? I’d never even talked/pm’d with Dear Abby. What is he talking about or trying to do. It’s clear he does not know that Corvis told me about Michel’s 4 way with Suzzee and Dear Abby and Corvis.

*This is rich that he is trying to get me to throw myself under the bus by lieing!*

So I reply: Hi Mike,

>week!

And Michel replies: “Wires crossed? Possible but if I tell you that D'Abby wanted to get you nominated this week would you then suddenly remember that D'Abby was also pressuring you to use the veto. ;)

When I asked D'Abby who we should nominate if we were to win HOH, she could only come up with your name.

As for my support, I told you I wouldn't vote against you so that's what I will do. I'm even trying not to get either one of us nominated which would be even better. Can I also count on you?”

Meanwhile, I tell Corvis what is going on:" Corvis, >>I have to laugh. I trust>you not to tell this...and>to keep it to yourself,
>but I thought I would>share the laugh.>>I just got a PM from>Michel. He was doing his >touch base thing, and he>wrote: (pasted core of the message here…)

>>I've never talked with D'Abby and >you know it was jbug.
