Good Evening, this is Big Brother Delta 
:
Another day, another departure without having to get your hands dirty. Congrats on the top 17!. That's the good news; the bad news is that everyone left is fighting for that $100.
1. Another eviction canceled; how did this impact your game? Have you sensed the game beginning to ramp up as more people leave?
2. Has there been talk of the Spy and what their secret missions might be? What advantages do you think the spy or previous spies might possess?
3. With bitter departures comes a new chapter in the game with our closest and most chaotic HoH competition to date. What are your feelings about the new HoH, King Sezer 
? Would you have preferred it be Glyn? Do you have any idea what he might do?
4. Tomorrow is yet another eviction, this time with an actual vote taking place (knock on wood). Nervous about the vote? The events are beginning to become more intense and closer together, with a Veto competition, Ceremony, and Eviction taking place back to back tomorrow. Are you prepared for things to get messier?

Ok BB, I'm still trying to figure out what is up with those capital letters from the last post... Don't try and hide stuff in here that's going to drive me crazy! LoL
1) My game so far hasn't been impacted. Shaz is still here with a major target on him from the drama of the first two days. Plus he's been going around very publicly telling people we need to get Susie out. But from what I can tell, he just seems to come off... as someone we're just placating. I've definitely sensed things ramp up, but luckily I've been able to keep under the splash zone.
2) Whoever the spy is, has been really great at keeping things under the radar. I have no idea who they are or what their mission is. But I'm starting to think the capital letters were some sort of code that was a Caesar Cypher, and only the spy has the decode phrase... I think it's possible they might be able to negate votes or save someone who's up for eviction. I have no basis other than Shaz saying that he got a power to nullify votes if he's on the block this week... But then again, that could have come from him decyphering the code, came from the spy, came from you... so who really knows.
3) I honestly would have preferred it to be Glyn TBH. I haven't really talked to Sezer much, but Jen has and with any luck, she can shmooze him into keeping the both of us here. I really have no idea who he's going to target, but I'm hoping that it's someone on the Group A side, so that Group B can keep our numbers advantage.
4) I'm going to be nervous about every single nomination and VETO from here on out. I'm really trying to keep making friends and getting closer to people, but with so many people, and having different times, it s hard to make those connections. I'm very ready for things to get messy, just as long as people are taking shots at others, they aren't taking shots at me.
Pivot talk: So recently, I've been getting to know Jen very well because we are apparently from the same area (Glyn is as well, and I'm trying to get to know him better). Jen's been talking to a lot of the people that I haven't been able to get to know, which is great because it's diversifying our alliances. We also talked last night pre-comp and figured out that right now, according to what people have told us, we're safe till at least top 10 as long as we don't make very big waves.
So I'm going to try and put forth a massive effort to make it look like I'm trying to win these competitions, but really, I'm throwing every single one. Take last night for example, Jen and I constantly messed up, but when it was over, I reached out to Glyn and others who did well and asked what their strat was to dominate so well. People are always willing to talk about themselves, so they were more than happy to tell me how they did it.
With any luck, getting the different strats for different comps, from different people, gives me more data to "plug in" and figure out the best and most efficient way to actually try and win, when it comes down to actually needing to win.
But then again, this is Big Brother... and anytime you feel safe, you're clearly missing an angle. So I'm going to have to stay on my toes.
