Lanes Best Bits

[Lane Elenburg]

So we were on the verge of deciding Aaryn was the one to go. And the entire Frat agreed. But the problem came because it seemed like everyone wanted Lisa out. Why? Im not really sure. But with so many pros and cons on both scenarios, we ultimately decided that we should rock the house at all. People were expecting Lisa to go, and we do not need to throw ourselves into the spotlight.

I need to pick up my social game with people like Topaz and Jordan. Topaz mainly is just so damn hard to talk to! But my god, I do not want someone like her to be the reason I leave the game. I think Jordan is cool with me, but I just need to make things stronger.

WEEK TWO

Well that was definitely unexpected. 

And kind of a kick to the gut. This swap is a scary thing, and I mainly say that because of the HOH winners. I have literally no idea what either of them will do. And it effing scares me. There are some people in my house that I can trust, but I don't want to take the risk and end up on the block because of haven't talked to Kaysar at all. So that my friends, is of course mission number 1. 

Right away I said congrats and got talking to him. And it made me let my breath out a bit more, because he mentioned having no cross house chats. That being said, I do believe he will keep his house safe. So it will come down to myself, Memphis, Jordan, Aaryn, and Kathy. Scary shit my friends. 

The good news is that Kaysar said he will likely base thing off of communication. And he has yet to see Jordan around very much. So we might just need to bank on that. I do however wish that he would nominate Hayley. I don't think many people have talked to her, so it would make it quite easy. Jordan/Hayley? I like that. 

Its also good that I talked to him right away, because he will be away tomorrow. So he said that he might need to make up his mind quickly. It felt super awkward. I don't know him, so I really don't want to be like, Hey Kaysar! Keep me safe yo!! 
Yea, not gonna happen. So I just chatted with him for as long as possible, talk turned to communication, and I dropped the line, 

Lane Elenburg: (5:46:36 PM) well if theres anyway i can help make your decision easier, lemme know
Kaysar Ridha: (5:50:21 PM) You've been pretty helpful already. I take it that if I keep you safe, you'd return the favor if we're together again?
Lane Elenburg: (5:50:35 PM) absolutely man
Kaysar Ridha: (5:52:21 PM) Yeah, it sounds good to me. Like I said I haven't totally made up my mind yet but you're not one of the people I'm really looking at right now.
Lane Elenburg: (5:52:49 PM) thnx man. i really appreciate it




So thats golden!! Now I just need to make sure someone like Memphis doesn't go home. I highly doubt he would, but that would just be sucky. I'm gonna let Memphis do his thang, and then just see where things are in a bit. I've done my part with Kaysar. 

[Lane Elenburg]

So remember when I said Aaryn is a ticking time bomb?? Well she just proved this last night.

I guess she came online suuuuuper drunk. Randomly made a Final 2 with Nick, and then proceeded to tell him that she "has" me and Jon. And boom. She made a chat for us 4 because we obviously have an alliance. Its hilarious really. Reasons like this are why I wanted her gone last round. So I really really hope that she doesn't fuck anything up. My hopes are that Kaysar nominates her and Jordan, and we can get her the fuck out. I'm done with her.

Its really worst case scenario on both sides of the house. We just need to make sure we come out ok. Jon is worried that the noms are down to a mix of him/Ryan/Ben. Fuuuuuck that. I mean if Ben went that would be great, but if Ryan or Jon leave, I'll be pissed. Keith is a nobody, he cannot be the one to take them out.

This week will be very interesting.

[Lane Elenburg]

So it appears to be house vs house. 

Round 1 houses that is. Which I find to be kind of ridic. These swaps will likely last a couple more rounds, and things could get way too messy if that is the case. All 4 noms right now are from my original house, and its kind of scary. 

In my house, you have Jordan and Kathy. Which is just fine with me. Jordan is likely the target, and I don't mind getting her out at all. She's never around, and likely will be no benefit to me. The only reason so could be, is that we talk enough, she does like me, so I could just drag her along. But between her and Kathy, she can get outta here. Kathy is someone I feel I can really trust. It hasn't been the strongest of bonds since the first few days, but I don't think she has any solid alliance that would trump me. I could easily get things back in line with her. So I told her post ceremony that I have her back. 

However, if I win the veto, I will leave shit alone. I've started to reconsider gunning hardcore for Aaryn. She does need to go soon, but the longer she is here, perhaps the longer she can be a shield. I am not the only one with the opinion I have, so she will see the block again very soon. But if she ever did come in to power, she would absolutely keep me safe. Cause duh! I'm in a 4some alliance with her!!! We will see what happens here. But I think best case scenario from a shit HOH, is Jordan leaving. 

I want to win this veto. Badly. And visual comps are my thang. But I'm not sure how I did. I found the first 9 vetoes so freakin fast. And then sat there for what seemed like ages looking for the final one. And of course, it was right under Kennys crotch. UGH. 

I just don't want Kathy to win. If noms change, things could get scary. So I would just rather avoid that. 

[Lane Elenburg]

Ugh. Always second place!!!! Which is shitty. Because people see you can do well in challenges, but you don't get the win.

However, with it being Heaven, I am fine not winning. We talked earlier and she voiced how she really likes me and Memphis, and doesn't want anything to do with this House vs House bullshit. So she will likely leave noms alone. 

Now we just need something amazing to happen in the other house. And of course Jon falls on his face. 

4?!?!?!  You found 4?!?! Well done bro. 

[Jade]

I think you need GMs 2nd place medal

[Lane Elenburg]

Well things worked out with our veto. Like I figured, Heaven didn't use it. And it would be time for Jordan to leave.

But of course, things can't be so easy. Ally decided she wanted Jordan to leave, and she was trying to get me on board. We now know who each other are, so I was really hoping she wasn't going to use that to sway me. And it almost felt like that. She just kept saying how Kathy would keep me safe, but not her. And yea, thats very true. The part about her keeping me safe anyway. I don't see her going after Ally really. For now. But the fact remains, that I see her helping my game MUCH more than Jordan ever would. I don't think Jordan would nominate me any time soon, but she is just useless. So I would rather she leaves.

Ally started to attempt to rally the troops. So I quickly started to do the opposite. Without letting her know of course. I acted like I was semi on board if she could get the votes. But I did keep voicing that I think most, including Kaysar, wan Jordan gone. So I was telling Memphis, because he wants Jordan gone too. I was talking to Heaven, who seemed in the middle, but had Ally in her ear about Kathy being a threat. Apparently Aaryn wants Jordan out. So it really started to seem like we were outnumbered. But I managed to get get Heaven to think evicting Kathy would be down right rude. And as far as I know, Hayley will be evicting Jordan. So crossing my fingers that that goes down. I will tell Ally in the morning whats up.

I also let Kathy know that I kind of saved her. I just mentioned that some were worried she was a threat, and that I downplayed it. I need her 100% on team Lane. And I am fairly sure this week will confirm that.

On the other side, shit sucks. I was happy when Ben took Ryan off the block, cause one would assume Topaz would go up and out. But for some idiotic reason, Keith is refusing to put her up. He says it would be a waste, because he likes her. But I was also being told that right after he won, he was talking about this house vs house bullshit. But I guess that only held true if it was Jon/Ryan/Ben going home. So he puts Jeremy up. Which sucks. I made an early bond with the guy, and he doesn't deserve to go. But I would much rather he leave over Jon. Best case of worst case. So I spoke with Kenny to see what was going on. And it sounds like Jeremy will be leaving. It sucks, but its great for me.

I want HOH next round more than you could imagine. So lets make that happen folks.

[Lane Elenburg]

WEEK THREE

Well week two was another success. At least in my house. Jordan leaving was perfect for a Kaysar HOH. I had literally no pull, but I kept myself, and people I need safe. The other house however, didn't really go that great. Final noms being Jeremy and Jon was bogus. But of course, Jeremy leaving was much better than Jon leaving. I did want to work with Jeremy, but down the road, I'm not sure how it would have worked. Not being in the same house but a wedge between us. So maybe its best he is gone now, and I can work on building up my relationship with The Frat (yea it still a thing) and people like Kenny, Heaven, and Michelle. 

Going in to that HOH, I really didn't expect myself to do that well. Things just didn't go my way. Computer issues mainly. And some of the voices were harder than I expected. But 27/30 wasn't too shabby! Not good enough for a win, but I'm still proud! And the two who did win, are just fine by me. 

Being in a house with Heaven as hoh makes me quite happy. We have been on great terms since the start, and we both touch base with each other to see whats going down. Right away this morning she let me know I was safe, and started bouncing ideas off of me. Really I would want her to get rid of Keith, but her points for not putting him up made sense. He made a target that will last for a while. So if you ever end up in a house with him, theres a chance he would be more vulnerable than you. But on the flip side, what if he wins hoh? I'm not here to press things on people, thats when they start questioning you. So I said a good bet would be Kathy and Hayley. Which made Heaven perk up. Sure I have been building things up with Kathy, but if I save her again, it will only solidify her to me, and not other people, like Heaven. And of course, Hayley is such a non entity in this game, her leaving would be great. 

On the other side, Memphis winning is great. I know I can speak my mind with him, and he will run things by me. Right away he said Ally could be a nom. And while I do want to work with Ally, I am not sticking my neck out for her. She has allowed herself to become someone who people see as borderline inactive. So how would it look if I tried to save her? Plus if she goes up, its likely as a pawn. I want Memphis to target Topaz, and I was making arguments as to why. He agreed with all of them, and said he was definitely leaning that way. 

This should be another good week! Just setting up a good foundation for team Lane. Lets hope it all pays off in the coming weeks. 

[Lane Elenburg]

Alright so its been a quiet week for me. I was out of town all weekend, so didn't really have much time to put towards the game. The good thing was I knew I was safe. So chilling was alright. 

When Heaven nominated Kathy and Kenny, I was kind of bummed. I was expecting Hayley to be the target, with Kathy as the other nom. But when I read the ceremony, I got sad. I then noticed that Heaven messaged me before hand to tell me. Which is good. Shows she wants to keep me in the loop. I guess she started focusing way too much on what Kaysar said about Kathy and Kenny being a pair. I know its bullshit, but I can't out right say that. I have a very strong bond with Kenny, and a decent one with Kathy. So I know they are truthful with me. But its one of those things where I can't say too much. I told heaven I was playing devils advocate, and was making the argument in terms of Kaysar being the one to lie. She started believing it. But unfortunately she said the damage was done, and she couldn't switch things up if she won POV. Both of them staying would be bad, cause they would come after her. I get it. But still sucks. 

I have to be careful with how much I try to sway certain people. Like Heaven. I am very well connected right now, and that cannot become common knowledge. Heaven tells me I am one of her favs, and has stated that I will always be safe with her. Big words yes, but great for the time being. Theres also The Frat, Kenny, Ally, Aaryn, Kathy, kind of Nick, kind of Michelle. All of these people would expect to be safe with me. And I with them. So I just have to find the right time to make a big move. Ive said goal number 1 was social game, and I believe I have done very well. 

Kathy or Kenny going is a set back yes. But if I can make sure its Kathy over Kenny, I will be good. I know I can trust the hell out of Kenny. We have shared a lot of info with each other. With Kathy, I know I would be safe with her, but Im just not sure how mch I can rely on her. So once again, its best case of worst case. 

In the other house, Topaz should be leaving. And that is just wonderful. Now I need to make sure someone like Keith/Hayley/Kaysar leave next. They can throw wrenches into my plans very easily. I talked to Keith today, and we made some weird deal. I said that we could be a distant pair, because no one would ever suspect it. He really liked the idea, and kept commenting on the fact that people are starting to be around less. So I played that up, and made a bond with him. It won't stick in my books, but if theres a chance he keeps me safe if he has power, thats just brilliant for me. 

[Lane Elenburg]

I kinda had to put in some werk this morning. I talked to Michelle, and she said she is once again going back and forth. Yesterday she said she' vote out a Kathy, but is once again on the fence. Nothing annoys me more than indecisive ppl. So I tried my best to subtly make an argument to keep Kenny.

Then I get Keith messaging me. He says Michelle confirmed that she is voting out Kathy, and that he is now going to give her a pity vote. Say what?!?!? There's only 5 voters dude. That's way too sketchy. So part of me is now thinking they have concocted some sort of plan. Which would be some bullshit. So again I tried talking him out of it. Saying I wanted to vote the same as him. He then agrees that it's too sketchy with only 5 votes, but that he just feels bad. So I hyped that up, saying it's ok to felt bad, it just means he's a nice guy. HA. I kill myself sometimes. He mentions it's been a year since he's played, so he jus needs to get used to it again.

Hayley is voting Kenny out. I need her out cause I think se just does literally whatever she feels like. I bet she decided that without even talking to anyone.

I'm semi nervous now. But I've done my part to save him.

[Lane Elenburg]

WEEK FOUR

Lane is not happy. 

What a bullshit week that was. So many fucking lies going around. All because of that dipshit Keith. Or so I am assuming. Everyone is saying that the guy is just a compulsive liar. And I am 100% seeing it now. Like I explained, he was being super weird about the vote after we had come to a decision together. He has the nerve to tell me Michelle confirmed she was evicting Kathy, and that he was too. But of course, I saw a different result. 

He is obviously back peddling now. Saying that it was a very last minuet decision. And that the reason he voted Kenny, was because he found out who he was. FUCK THAT. Do not fucking base a vote off of someones alias. This game is meant to be alias!! So don't change plans because of it!!! 

Ugh. 

So now I need to kick it in to high gear. No more sitting back and trying not to let the fact that I am well connected get out. I should've pushed for Heaven to get Keith out. Even though I really think it was a lost cause. It would have been better than Kenny going. Thats a big blow to my game. And I need to figure some things out now. 

Keith, Kaysar, Hayley, and even Michelle are all on my radar now. Keith because of the obvious. Kaysar because I feel like there is more to him than ppl see. Hayley cause she is useless. And Michelle because I now see her game for what it is. She will do whatever she wants, and she won't be open about it. I thought we were good, but I see now that she will run away if things get rough. So I think she needs to go sooner rather than later. 

I want this HOH so bad. So effing bad. And I really don't know how I did. Part of me thinks that I will be one of very few who actually completed it. But I also was very close to the 20 min mark when I did finish. So crossing my fingers that everyone else bombed. I want that HOH. Its fucking time. And if I am runner up again, I'm gonna go full beast mode. And not in a good way. 

[Lane Elenburg]

OMG

Thank god!!!!

That couldn't have worked out better. When it was down to 4, I was fuckin sweating. And when all was said and done, I couldn't have been happier. Being in a house with Jon as HOH is perfect. I haven't even talked to him and I know I am safe. Hopefully he puts up Michelle and Kaysar. That would be his smartest move. Memphis agreed, so hopefully we can get him to do that. Or you know, maybe thats what he wants to do too. lol.

On the other side though....I'm nervous for Heaven. She made a bad move as HOH, and it might just bite her in the ass. I will however, see where Kathys head is at. If she could get Keith out, well that would just be glorious.

[Lane Elenburg]

Of course I lost by only a few seconds. Of course. I can even look back at the comp and know exactly what I couldve done differently to make up the time. It just annoying to constantly come so close to winning, but never have it happen. People know I am good at comps, but I don't get any of the power. Ugh. Just frustrating. 

The funny thing is, I was really starting to think Michelle needed to go. Kaysar is a threat yes. But at the same time, I feel like Michelle is a different kind of threat. And maybe one that needs to be taken care of sooner. Kaysar will always remain a target, who knows what she could do. So I was starting to think of ways to swing that. 

So seeing Kaysar win, is kind of alright. Michelle marches to the beat of her own drum. And she is very wishy washy. And a social player like me. So she needs to go. Nick even told me yesterday that she mentioned "The Frat boys" reacting strongly to her evicting Kenny. I really don't think I need to look into that too much, just coincidence I'd say. But it does show things. 

Last night, The Frat expanded. We brought in Nick and Ben. Which really is good. We have to be merging soon, and having a tight strong crew will be very beneficial. But of course, theres heat on us. And because of this, Jon came up with a plan. I needed to be the pawn. To show people we aren't very tight. He promises me the world saying I am going to be safe. And I want him to trust me and still see me as a chill guy, but it really does suck. I more wanted to know why me over Memphis or Ben. His answer was Ben is too emotional, and Memphis didnt nominate him last week. (duh) I do think his plan is good, and honestly it could work out good for me. I want a lot of options in this game. So ensure I can move somewhere else incase things blow up. So having people think I am mad at Jon or something, could be good. 

I don't want to get all confident and have this blow up. But something crazy would have to happen for me to go. Aaryn says all the time that I am one of her favs, and she is 100% proving to be more useful that I originally thought. I am growing very fond of her, and I think she will be a great person to have in this game. 

The best piece of info came about Kathy. Apparently she is trying hardcore to get me out. Which is laughable. She is trying to play it off like we are still bff. But she pulled a Corinne and talked to the wrong person. So she is right back up to the top of my shit list. She needs to go asap. Her and Keith. Others are saying Heaven, but I am in very good with heaven. So when the time comes that she makes a move against the boys, it won't be against me. 

So its time to come out of this week swinging. I need an hoh win so effing bad. Its right in front of me. And getting some of these people out would just feel amazing. 

[Lane Elenburg]

WEEK FIVE

I guess I should write something.  Oops!!!

Well lets quickly sum things up from earlier. I was on the block, and it was a sure thing that I was staying. We had our alliance, and I had people like Aaryn in my corner. Sitting next to Michelle was kind of great, I wanted her out, and the only better thing would have been getting her out myself. But staying over her felt great too. The funny part came with Kathy. She was trying very hard to sway Aaryn to get me out. Apparently she thought she could also get Jon to evict me in a tie. Is she dumb?? Probably. Because after I stayed, she was once again messaging me acting like we were best buds. I haaaaaate that shit. So much. But I kept things in check, and acted as if I had no idea what she was trying to do. I wanted to unleash on her, but thats just not smart. 

So going into this week, I really wanted HOH. I wanted to be the one to get Kathy out of here. But of course, I fudged the comp. I think I just didnt play it all that smart. I went for some tasks that were very difficult, when I couldve focused on doing a number of other ones. But thats the way things go. 

And then seeing that it was a mystery HOH week, I was paranoid. Worst thing would be if Keith or Kaysar won. I figured I was for sure on the block! 

Luckily I wasn't. Unfortunately two of my main allys were. 

Looking at Jon and Memphis, its a no brainer that I would rather see Memphis stick around. He is a very strong loyal ally. And I was quick to let him know that I was in his corner. Worst case scenario would be Jon coming off the block, and me replacing him. Like initial noms, I was soooo sure that would be the case if he did come off. And a Memphis or Lane eviction night was NOT something I wanted to see. 

But the problem this week is we literally couldn't do anything!! If you tried anything, you'd look like a sketch bag. So I just kept talking to people and shooting the shit. 

When I saw results this morning, again I was scrolling down expecting to see my picture. 

But yay!!! Ben is on the block!!!! Thank god! 

Its obvious this week wasn't going to go in a way I would like. But I keep talking about best case of worst case. And Ben leaving right now is exactly that. So I am going to make sure that Memphis does not leave. I think he has a very good chance of staying, but I just want to make sure. I know early on I wanted Ben out badly, but clearly that has changed. He wouldn't at all be a pick to leave, but this mystery HOH is making a move. 

Honestly, I am starting to think its Heaven. She keeps saying to me that she hates Kathy and co and would go after them, but I am just not so sure about that. Being a mystery HOH is the perfect time to make a big move and get no blood on your hands. So why wouldn't she go after two apparent big players?? The good part is my relationship with her though. One that I am certain no one really sees. If it wasn't Heaven, I am shocked I didnt go up. But Heaven wouldn't nominate me right now. Because she knows I have her back. 

But its now TBD how long I will have her back for. Regardless of her being HOH or not. She is a big player, and my friends seem to be against her. But like I said earlier, when the time comes and she goes after the boys, it aint going to be. Which could be apparent here. Kaysar would nominate me in a second. And Keith?? Well I never know what that dude is thinking. 

I really hope Memphis stays. We have lost a bit of footing, but we can easily get it back.
