And Michel replies, covering his tracks:

"Actually, I did get confused between jbug and D'abby as to who was pressuring you but I talked to D'abby after the last eviction. She was upset that Wayne had been voted out and that's when she mentioned we could nominate you if one of us was to win HOH. I used "If I tell you" as a figure of speach but I am telling you she mentioned your name for noms.

If you don't want to throw her under the bus, I understand. It is pretty sneaky doing it this way. But sometimes sneaky works!

BTW, you can certainly tell Suzzee about jbug's actions. Protecting her wasn't my intent. My intent was to target someone I don't trust; D'Abby.”

At this point I don’t know what is going to happen It is only Week Two! So I send Suzzee another PM and I tell her what is going on…so no matter what she decides, at least she has Michel’s number.

So with Suzzee as HOH, she nominates Dear Abby and Kris. One is the target and one is the pawn.

The word I get is that Dear Abby went up as a pawn so that Suzzee would not tick off other players.

Jbug wins the POV. Michel pm’s me that he pled with Jbug to not use the POV and to leave the noms the same. Then he leads the charge to vote out Dear Abby! Corvis is ok with this. This is ok with me, too, because once again I am safe and I help keep Kris safe, hoping to build something there.

At the same time I am totally aware that despite Michel and Corvis telling Suzzee and Dear Abby that they were in a 4 way alliance, Michel and Corvis were willing to boot Dear Abby at the first chance. So no one is safe in the Hamster House.

On to Week Three

Now for a turn of events, I win HOH. No worries about my safety for a week! However, I am concerned about anyone I nominate and how others would vote. I want those I nominate that are pawns to feel safe and be safe. Meanwhile, Corvis is AWOL for the competition and does not even do an entry. (He had a good excuse, though)

I nominate Suzzee and Jbug.

Suzzee who would never answer a PM from me and Jbug who would not commit to an alliance and had already been skillful at winning comps. That left Kris, Michel and Corvis safe.
Suzzee’s my target because I feel confident others will vote her out. I let Jbug know she is safe.

Jbug goes on to win the POV. What a comp queen she is! Jbug = Janelle?

Now I need to do the renom. Since Michel and Corvis have been more of an alliance than Kris (who has been stuck on the block every week), Kris is renom but as a pawn.

Suzzee finally PM’s me.

Once again, not much of an offer…”I couldn't remember if you'd vote to tie break if there was one so I'm covering my bases. Anyway, I know the Bug and I both want to stay in so just vote your best option. Although I did keep you off the block last week. Just sayin'. No pressure. Really. LMAO have a good night zaz.”

Then later, this PM from Suzzee: “It's time for michel to go go go, really backdoor the little sneak otherwise he's going to get you. He has a partnership w/the bug but if she's thinking she'll want him toasted. Just saying”

So despite Michel and Corvis and I being a trio from the beginning, and Michel, Corvis, Suzzee, and Dear Abby being in an alliance, now there is the Michel-Jbug alliance, confirming for me what I suspected all along—that Michel was in an alliance with everyone, blowing whichever way it suited him and leading the backstabbing of his “alliance” members when he was threatened by them.

Still I renom Kris but Suzzee is the target and Suzzee is voted out. (notice Suzzee once again did not offer any alliance or any safety for me the next week, so why do I want to keep her?).

On to Week 4.
