Well, I've got theater tickets for tonight. We're going to see the stage production of Young Frankenstein. However, since I'm nominated and can't vote and if I manage to survive I'm barred from the next three HoH competitions anyhow, there's not much I'm missing. I would like to PM John Cena my "Last Minute Speech" to be posted right before the voting if that's alright.

Our local theatre put on a production of Young Frankenstein about a month ago. It was awesome. It's a musical though, if you're not aware. I know some (awful) people have problems with musicals.

Nah, I'm good with musicals. I've seen a few over the years, not to mention all the Disney stuff when I was a kid. And again now that I'm taking little ones to them myself. Frozen was quite good, for example. Thanks for the head's up, though. :)

At least it's stealing from a source that is rich enough to have some of its spirit survive the terrible process of turning into a musical. I can't imagine that it could be any worse than Spamalot.

If you fuckers vote for me to leave, you better be drat sure I'm getting evicted. I will be insanely bitter. I will do everything to the best of my ability to exact my revenge on those who I perceive to have wronged me in this competition. Don't even think of voting me out. I loving swear.

JNG's Journal. Final entry.

JakeP's behind everything.
Why? What's his endgame?
I cannot imagine a louder opponent.
Used to joke that he was fast enough to catch the Internet.
He could evict us both, out in the snow.
That's where we're going now, to the final vote.
Whether I'm safe or evicted upon this reading,
I hope the game lasts long enough for this journal to reach you.
I played my game free of compromise,
and step into the shadow without complaint or regret.

-JNG, January twenty-third.

Well, to tell the truth, something has been bothering me.

A thought has wormed its way into my skull, taken root within my brain and began gnawing at my grey matter, crying for expression. I have attempted to excise this thought, to brush it aside as a mere vanity. But I can no longer. I can no longer hide from this offense I have received.


You think this is my theme song!

How dare you sir? How. Dare. You!?

This offense will not be taken lightly and my vengeance will come slow and quiet. It shall emerge from the shadows at the least expected moment to rend your being in twain for daring to insult me in such a brazen fashion! It is an insult both to me and to David Bowie's prodigious output.

Here is my theme song!

Eviction Three

One of the most game-affecting competitions, a player successfully winning AND using veto to save themselves from the choppingblock, and a nomination that sent everyone scattering, and some strange rumblings something may be up tonight, nobody has any idea what to expect. This is Awful Brother.



Houseguests, this is your third Eviction ceremony. Tonight you will have to vote out one of the two people that your Head of Household, Rarity, has nominated. Either jng2058, a player who nearly left the game of his own volition before re-finding that fire to play, or Veskit, a friend of the man who was saved by veto, up for a second time on the chopping block.

As usual, during these ceremonies and until after the HOH competition, there is to be absolutely zero Out Of Thread communication.

Before we got to voting, I'd like to ask some of you people questions.


JakeP, you went through a lot of punishments. From solitary confinement, to a new embarassing avatar, and outright restricting the number of competitions you're allowed to play, when you were on the chopping block against a guy who almost left. I have to ask...was it worth it?


Asiina, you went from winning first place in the Have/Have Not competition to becoming a Have-Not yourself. What did a reversal of fortune of that nature feel like?

Dr. Hurt, you employed a slightly different strategy in the Veto competition, instead going for all of the rewards. What is the mentality behind that, to not even bother fighting for POV?

I don't know what would have happened had I stayed on the block, and I don't know what will happen in the future. For all I know, if I was up there now, I would be gone within the hour. I guess it is worth it in that case, but poo poo, I could go home next week, and then it was all for naught. I had fun poo poo posting across Something Awful, and am looking forward to my avatar. Overall no regrets! :)

It didn't really take me long to realize that Jake's internet was much much better than mine. After a certain point I knew that winning veto was useless, but I could still get something out of the challenge. And besides that it was fun to vote. The thrill of the auction, the anger of being sniped at the last section- that's what life's all about.

Being a Have Not is terrible! Having nobody to talk to but Rarity and Xylo is truly a fate worse than death. It's all baby talk and sports involving punching.

I begged Rarity not to open that door and in no way completely convinced her that it would be an awesome idea, so I place the blame squarely on her shoulders.

Certainly a punishment nobody would want a part of.



Houseguests, it is now time to vote. We will be doing things a little differently, however.



Instead of writing it in the subject line, write your vote on the card in the above image, and PM it to me. The only people ineligible to vote are the two nominees. Rarity, as Head of Household, you will only be eligible to vote in the event of a tie. Deadline for voting is at 11:00PM tonight, so please get those votes in quickly.

Last night I was mentioning my fashion sense, how awesome it is, and how I'm bringing sweater vests back, and taking them back from jack-asses. So, today I decided to tell the house about how well I was dressed today.

So I left the house dressed to the nines. I may have not trimmed my beard in a while, so my beard is a touch scruffy, especially on the neck side. I wore sweater vest, because I wear sweater vests, and because it was cold I needed to wrap up, so I added a scarf and my trench coat. And to keep my hat covered, I, of course, had to wear my fedora.

I don't see what's so bad about my ensemble.

I will now reveal the vote. When I announce the player who has been evicted, they will have one minute to say goodbye (and only a very short goodbye), gather their belongings, and walk out the front door.
