Lanes Best Bits

CAST ASSESSMENT 



Aaryn has become a very important part of this game for me I feel. Its funny because at the start, I didnt really want her around for that long. But she's fun to talk to, and we get along quite well. I just need to make sure I really keep up communication. We haven't talked in a bit. I do think I can rely on her. We don't really have anything official, but she showed it while I was on the block. Confirming she was 110% keeping me, and letting me know right away that Kathy was trying to get me out. Good shit. 





Well on paper, things are not good here. Ally is very much floating through this game. People see her has a floater, and they haven't really seen her point in this game yet. I unfortunately would have to agree. Sometimes talking game with her, it seems like she really doesn't know what is going on. I will help her when I can, but she can't be a high priority right now. 





Well looking back to week 1, its funny to see where I stand with Ben now. I went off a first impression, and wanted him out pretty quick. Granted this started with me thinking the houses were staying that way for a while. But now I am in an alliance with him. One that still has a potential to drive this game. This week is a speed bump. And Ben will hopefully be the casualty. It sucks, but thats the way it is. 





I am really trying to pick communication up with Hayley, and I do think it is working a lot. She has told me that I am one of the people she talks to the most, and that she likes me. Hayley is slowly becoming a very beneficial vote. She is just kind of there, but I want her on my side when I need her. 





Things are up in the air constantly for me when it comes to Heaven. She was an early fav of mine, and I do think we have an unspoken trust. The girl is a beast at comps, so I am not sure I want someone like that around closer to the end. She will need to leave at the perfect time. I am also wondering more and more where she stands. The way she is with me, is she like that with everyone? There are bigger fish to fry for me, but my eye will always be on her now. 





Jonny boy. I really do like him a lot, and I feel like he will legitimately have my back for a long time. He is another strong fighter, so who knows when I would want to cut him loose. I think he is very well liked, so once again will need to go at the perfect time. Him nominating me showed me a lot, and it showed me that I don't want Jon near the end. 





Ugh Kathy. Seriously the worst. I am just so annoyed with her, and over her. She needs to go. I am sick of playing nice whenever she messages me. I cannot wait to send her out the door, and finally speak my mind about how two faced she is. Lets hope she doesn't prove difficult to throw out. 





I really don't understand Kaysar. He seems to be a big threat, but is he even living in this house?? I am not sure I have even seen him online since he was HOH. I might be exaggerating, but I know its been a long ass time! He also needs to go. And he is a strong contender to be the current HOH. Which tbh is perfect for him. Not like he'd be around to talk to if we knew he was HOH. 





Fitting that these 3 were in a row, as they need to be the next 3 people to leave this game. Keith is just a tool, and it sometimes just hurts to talk to him. I don't believe anything he says, and his game is very transparent. I'd love for him to leave us asap. 





Memphis is my boy. He is definitely my strongest ally in this game. I am making sure he knows how much I have his back this week. I also think that he is someone I could go to the end of this game with. My social game is much stronger than his, and that will easily be an important thing at the end. I just need to figure out the best way to go through this game with him. When it comes to getting people like Jon out, I think he would be down if it was done at the right time. I am glad to have someone like Memphis in this game with me. Makes it fun. 




Nick is a really cool dude. I know he likes me, and he has been part of this guys alliance. I just hope now that two members have left back to back, that Nick sticks around. I will keep to pick communication up with him, even though we do have good chats any time we are online together. We just need to talk game a little bit more.

WEEK SIX

Alright so first of all, sorry for not doing the endurance. It was just a terrible weekend for that kind of shit. I was busy with.....things. And I knew you wouldn't show results based on last weeks twist, so I was just like meh. I also knew I wouldn't win. Memphis was ready to slay that thing, and I was just fine with him doing that. I know the guy has endurance pipes, so I was confident that he would win. 

And he did!!! Best case scenario for this week. I am 100% safe, and someone I want out will be leaving. Kaysar is public enemy #1 right now, and Memphis has set his sights on him. 

Right after his win, we were talking about the noms. Easy choices would be Kay and Keith. But Keith has mentioned an "active ppl" alliance with myself and Memphis. So we would like to keep up that illusion if at all possible. Who knows if Keith actually believes it, but we may as well hype that up so theres a better chance that he does. Plus if Kaysar wins veto, I will go balls to the wall to get Kathy out. And Keith could easily go instead. So I might just try to get Memphis not to put him up as replacement if thats the case. A Hayley/Ally pawn would be a great idea. And Kathy would surely leave. But we will cross that bridge when we get there. 

I'm also so pumped that its Jury! I was expecting it based on the huge cast, so its nice to see that come true. I have gone before my time in my last couple games, so its nice to finally be on jury. And hopefully the Final 2!!!

With how things are right now, I do see a path to the end. I just need to play this right to get there, and be worthy of the win. I keep coming up just short in comps, so nows the time for me to win something. I realllllllly want to be the HOH to get Kathy out, so if Kaysar can go this round, its my turn to win and send her home. She's trying very hard to mend things, but I really don't think the woman thinks people talk. So peace out. 

Also this veto spread is funny. Of course Keith get picked, and Kaysar gets Houseguest choice. It will be very telling if he picks Heaven. Part of me thinks she was HOH. She knows she is a huge threat, but is also giving people the illusion that she is against ppl like Kaysar and Keith. What better time to make a move then when ppl don't know its her?? I still like her, but she really needs to go soon. 

[Lane Elenburg]

Can I just speak for everyone and say....

FUCK YOU KAYSAR!!!!

Seriously though. The guy is literally never around. I have not even seen him on AIM since week 2 when he was HOH. He signs on, wins comps, and leaves. Whats the point in even playing?!?! It just makes things annoying for the rest of us. And I'm sure you guys are annoyed too. I'm wondering if he will even post his veto ceremony in time. Maybe he won't and we can just ditch him once and for all. That would actually be the best way for him to leave. 

But getting serious, the guy has some comp pipes. He is the damn cockroach that just won't die. But we need to figure out a way to work with this. I mentioned that I was going to try getting Memphis to not nominate Keith. I could see him going over Kathy for some reason, and of course, we can attempt to keep up the illusion of the "active" alliance. The good news was Memphis mentioned this before I did. But he wanted to nominate Ally. I warned him that this wasn't the best idea. If he put her up again, it would set her sights on him even more. And I don't want that. Plus I know that Ally will vote Kathy out. So Hayley is a much better option. I'm thinking he will do that. 

But of course, lets just wait and see if Kaysar even remembers to save himself. 

[Lane Elenburg]

Perfect scenario for this week. Only downside is I don't get to be the one to evict Kathy. If Kaysar had left, it still would have been a step in the right direction. So I was ok with it. With the way Kathy had been sucking up to me, I'm not 100% sure she would put me up. So her sticking around FOR NOW could've been good. But I want her gone terribly. She lost her footing a few rounds ago, and she has been grasping at straws trying to get back in this game. 

I am interested to see what she says to me while she campaigns. I am not sure she knows that I know about her trying to get me out. So I am not sure if I will tell her. I need us to leave this on good terms. So I may just need to keep up the illusion, wether she believes it or not, and just tell her I have to go with majority. My logic isn't skewed in wanting her out. So its not like she can blame me. I was upfront when I voted her, and told her the truth. To try and get me evicted when she wasn't even in my house, and then act like it never even happened, is just cause for getting her the fuck out. 

I'm thrilled to finally cast this vote.

WEEK SEVEN


Alright. Lets do a quick recap. I'm home from my quick vacation, and I need to catch up. 


Kathy leaving was obviously the best. It was seriously the best. I'm just so glad she is gone. But we still have some shit heads that need to gtfo. 


Going into this week I wanted to win HOH so badly. Like every week I guess. But of course, the RNF gods smites me. I don't even know how, but I posted when I wasn't done. But looking at Heavens time, I wouldn't have won anyway. My god. That woman is a beast. I've been saying for a while now that she needs to go. Like she really needs to go. 


The good news about her winning was me being safe. She told me that right away. She also mentioned that she really only talks to me and Memphis a lot. Which is great as well. But something still tells me that she is linked with Kaysar and Keith. Maybe not in a super strong way, but because of the way this game has played out. There wasn't a chance in hell that she would target them. They aren't against her, and they are strong. So she will leave them be. I know you're supposed to try making things happen, but both me and Memphis agreed that trying to sway her, would do more harm than good. 


Memphis and I also talked about forming an alliance with her. She's strong. She likes us. And clearly the frat/league is disbanding. So we need more options. I think the only upside to aligning with her, would be for safety. I still have my eyes on her. Big time. 


But then she won the veto. And Memphis came to me saying she is way to big a threat. I obviously agreed and said that we need to strike at the right time. Allowing her to be in the F4 would be a huge mistake. So we need a completely different plan. I suggested that we link up with Ally and Hayley. Two girls that are only kind of here, but that I have a lot of pull with I feel. He agreed and said that would be a good F4. 


We also finally confirmed our F2. With the way things have gone this game, I really do want to sit at the end with him. Its been a lot of fun playing the game with him, and I don't feel like I would need to "Neda" him. I just hope he feels the same. 


Talking to Ally today, she mentioned that we should align with Nick and Memphis. Of course I agreed, but also threw out the option of Hayley. 


Theres a lot of different ways to swing this game right now. But in order to do this, we need to effing win this next HOH. I hear I have the GM curse, so its time to kick that to the curb. If I win, Keith and Kaysar go up, with a high probability of backdooring Heaven. 


Oh. And this vote is easy. Bye Jon. And likely bye Aaryn. Two big blows to my game. But it is what it is. And Jon needed to go eventually anyway. At least its not at my hands.

WEEK EIGHT

Alright, this is getting a bit old. I went in to that comp thinking I would do well. But it was much harder than I expected. So another loss for Lane. Shocker. 

But of course, things aren't bad at all!! Nick won HOH, and things are looking bright for this week! We solidified our alliance with myself, Memphis, Nick, and Ally. And with Nick in power, either Keith, Kaysar, or Heaven will be going home. I need to make sure that person is Heaven. If Nick nominates the obvious Kaysar and Keith, I would be praying for a sexy looking veto spread. Something that could ensure the veto is used, and not by Heaven, so that she can go up. Its so obvious that this girl needs to go. With her gone, competitions become a little more even. Its been proven that we can easily keep up with Kaysar. He may be strong, but he isn't a beast (yet). 

This game has had some blows, but I have been able to keep trucking forward. I do believe I am still in a very good spot. And I think I see a great path to the end of this game. We just gotta see how things go. Its Big Brother. You never really know.

[Lane Elenburg]

So last night I started getting paranoid. Don't really know why. 

Well I guess I do. I was talking to Heaven, and she mentioned how she was nervous that Kaysar would save Nick. She mentioned that he would be target #1 for her if he did. At the time I didnt think much of it. She mentioned how she sent him a long PM saying not to use it. So I was happy! But then something clicked. What if my attempts to get back into her good books have been looked at as sketchy?? Was she doing jury management while at the same time planning to backdoor me?!?! So I started getting a little nervous. I didnt do anything about it, I had done my part. All I could do was wait for Kaysar to post the ceremony. And we all know how he takes his sweet time!!! 

But of course, all is good. I am not on the block, and my main ally will likely come out alive. I think the theme of my game needs to be, "best case of worst case scenario". Because it has happened a lot!!! 

I was talking to Keith yesterday, and he was saying stuff that I could just tell was him trying to bait me into saying shit that he could spread around. 

"If noms stick, will you evict Nick?? Cause I don't think Hayley or Kaysar will...."

ummmm what?? I'm 98% sure that they WILL vote to evict him. Beast Heaven has said thats what she wants. I do not see them going against that. We then started talking about Heaven. And he said some things like "there is no scenario where anyone wants her around". Sooooo I decided to do what Keith would do. I went to Heaven!!! I simply told her everything, and reiterated that I had told her I would protect her when needed, so thats why I brought it to her attention. It didnt really escalate, she just said, "thats Keiths game! starting shit"

I really hope that I am ok this coming round. Kaysar is so far away from me game wise, that I could easily be a target of his. But at the same time, I shoooooould have Heaven more in my corner than Memphis'. Assuming a Kaysar win would result in the two of us being on the block. 

Keith....I dunno what he would do. I really don't. Talking to him isn't so much like talking to a wall, its more like beating your head against that wall. 

Hayley.....well I'd laugh if she won. (watch she does now)

I really hope the comp isn't some sort of speed challenge. I want the power to go back to myself an Memphis. Of course preferably with me holding that HOH key.
