Curious: Did you watch the Zingbot video before the comp or did you hurry up and buffer through the video to find the correct answers?

[jacob]

i watched a little bit of it like the day it was posted haha, i knew a few answers off the top of my head, and i used my mom's phone to watch it during the comp while i wrote down answers on my phone bc we were in the car lmao

[joepetz]

Crazy win. On the phone and in the car.

[jacob]

Ok imma type out my thoughts for this puzzle here haha bc I need somewhere to keep them collected

Before the 4th clue, my best guess was the Holy Roman Empire assuming that's even considered a place
Clue 1 - Wolves, Romulus and Remus were raised by wolves or a wolf or whatever. It beat my initial instinct of the Target Center where the Minnesota Timberwolves play
Clue 2 - 1792, Apparently the last emperor was crowned in that year lmao
Clue 3 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, they're named after Italian people I guess, Italy, Rome, Roman, eh it makes sense to me

Clue 4 tho - Liberty, Equality, Fraternity - Motto of France, French Revolution, all that stuff. I mean I GUESS the Holy Roman Empire was defeated by the French in some war or battle and that's what caused it to go away, but that's more of a stretch than the first 3 for me haha. I WANNA WIN THIS IM SO STRESSED AND I HAVE TO FIND AN APARTMENT TODAY TOO AH EVERYTHING IS CRAZY

[jacob]

apparently these are also due soon idk i am bad at remembering things

1. Rank all of the HouseGuests in the order of how much you trust them.
Where is the option for all of them at the bottom? I would say Isaac, Crystal, Everyone else, Jake
2. What do you think has been the most important moment in this game so far?
Making jury was a big accomplishment for me haha, so I guess winning the competition that allowed me to do that!
3. Who would you like to be sitting next to at the Final 2?
Isaac I guess since he's the only person I even remotely like in this game.
4. What major worldwide/national news event has had the most social or emotional impact on you, and why?
That's a toughie. I guess legalization of gay marriage?? It just changed a lot of things and opened some doors I guess

[jacob]

i hate literally everyone in this game lmao

well game is a term that i'm not sure if i can actually use, this has turned into a mockery of big brother at this point. people are here to actually help jake win??? i just thought they were all dumb sheep, not actively helping him win lmao. it's a damn miracle i've made it this far then, and i consider myself to be a winner haha

can't wait for jake to use a million special powers this week and take out isaac who i actually don't hate ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Question: Do you think the Bullet Club is bulletproof?

[jacob]

Week 6A
1. What does the revelation of the Bullet Club mean for you?
It means I am even more screwed than I thought haha, I thought that maybe even though they were all aligned, they'd still turn on each other at some point and I could maybe take advantage of that! But now that they're all even more of a united front, and joined together with a purpose in mind, it means I need to win every HOH/POV for the rest of the game if I wanna stay

2. Can there be bitter juries?
No and I stand by that. The word bitter just gets thrown around too much, people have the AGENCY to vote for whoever they see fit by whatever criteria they choose. If the person they choose isn't the best strategist, it's immediately called being bitter lmao.

3. If you become a juror, what criteria will you use to decide the winner?
At this point whoever I hate the least out of the bullet people )) literally if anyone tries to have a real conversation with me, they're good in my book (amanda)

4. Who deserves to win this game right now?
Well if I manage to somehow comp beast the hell out of this, then me lmao but the jury wouldn't let that happen! So I'll say Amanda, I think she is actually a nice, intelligent, socially adept person and I hope her plan is to ride these people all the way to that victory and she's not just gonna roll over when it gets down to them.

5. Do you think this game is fair?
Honestly no lol, and it's not the fault of the hosts or anything, it's just the circumstances of who signed up for this season and with what reasons. Knowing what I know, I am so incredibly proud to have made it this far haha. I guess I come from a larger community than this (tengaged), so games have more variety in who plays them. A lot of series on there only accept new players for normal seasons, and then they'll have returnee/mixed seasons every so often. I know that's hard to accomplish on a smaller site, and I don't expect it to be implemented here or anything, but this season just isn't working as a game haha. I'm regretting not recruiting people to sign up for this haha, tengaged people can be competitive af, we wouldn't have been a guaranteed alliance or anything and i wouldn't have wanted us to be. I try to do these things on my own, making alliances once the game starts, with people who i didn't join a game with lmao and unfortunately that's not working here haha. I really don't blame anyone involved in the planning of this game, and I know there is nothing that can be done now, I have accepted the circumstances haha, I just hope that if I get the opportunity to play again, something is different.

Question: Do you think the Bullet Club is bulletproof?
Sadly yes haha, I'm sure they have the special powers to keep themselves safe this week, they've basically all but said that. So either Isaac or Crystal (or myself if it's powerful enough) will go home, then it'll be 7 against 2, and it's just very improbable for the 2 to be able to survive I'm kind of losing my fighting spirit haha, I mean I love the competitions and will continue to try my hardest in them because I find them fun and am a competitive person, but I know eventually there will be something I either can't make it to, or won't be up my alley That's just how it goes, like I don't think anyone on BB has ever won a competition every week from the final 9 to the final 2 (janelle actually got close in all stars i think haha, but close isn't good enough here)

[jacob]

And thereeeeeeee is the power haha, I knew it was coming, I was just hoping it would still result in an eviction somehow so I could make single digits. I really don't want 10th after this lmao, I have fought my ass off. But hopefully I can win a competition in this reset or whatever, that's my strength, I just hope there are no more tricks up any sleeves. Now gotta go get ready for my friend's graduation party, glad it's much later than her graduation bc I was out of town, sick, and then out of town again SO time to partyyyyyy

[Brett]

Have a great time!

[jacob]

Ugh I'm debating if I should use a guess haha
I think it's the Grand Canyon bc Colorado river and grand and amazing could potentially be synonyms
But I don't wanna be wrong, waste my first guess, and then have to wait until I'm 100% sure to use my second
This is tough bc I did beat everyone by a lot the first time but this is different, I'd been to the louvre so I guess I was thinking of it idk

[jacob]

i'm regretting using my first guess haha i was a little drunk and i feel like there's a lot of pressure on me to win this challenge again so i panicked and submitted

but now i can't figure out a way to connect the third clue to it, so i feel like it's wrong ugh

i'll just be patient with my second guess, send it at the right time, and hopefully still win. i just wanna prove that me winning this wasn't some fluke, i can do it again :////

[jacob]

i feel like i am missing something obvious on this one haha

like currently i'm thinking it's somewhere in vienna lol? apparently felix frankfurter is a person from vienna, and that's a song on the billy joel album so
and the amazing race has been to vienna??? so that makes sense i guess

but i know nowhere in vienna that relates to some random lake in colorado lol
i guess patience is the answer here
i can get this on my last guess, i can do ittttttt
i just don't think i'll even be playing in the pov if i don't win this haha, that's the part that worries me

[jacob]

anddddddd i blew it, bye me

i am gonna be beating myself up for a while about this haha
i shouldn't have used my first guess when i did because then i would've used my guess for the Palace earlier, I was onto that for a while before I submitted (although my ramblings here may not seem like that), but I just really didn't wanna be wrong. It just seemed too easy lol, I could've figured it out with just the amazing race clue and either of the first clues that pointed to vienna. i was tryna make it harder than the louvre so that's my own fault, then the maze just made me sure enough to submit.

now i probably will not play in the pov and they'll backdoor me ))) maybe isaac has gone crazy enough to spare me for a week, but i doubt it haha
damn i was really looking forward to 9th

[jacob]

top 9 again yay!!!!!! dreams do come true <3

still knowing that i am not gonna win this game honestly is kind of relieving at this point, i think these people are less threatened by me, i can just compete for fun, and maybe actually try to build some relationships.
goal right now is to become friends with jake, he's actually been pretty nice to me, and i don't think he really has any reason to play me or anything haha. he's just competitive and sensitive, which can be a deadly combination to be on the wrong side of but also getting close to jake is my only possible game move left, the only thing i can do is convince him to let me do the dirty work of taking his friends out. i don't know about him, but i wouldn't wanna choose between friends to see who was at the bottom of the totem pole haha. the best thing i can do right now is promise that i won't nominate jake and the person/people of his choosing, and i can basically take out the bottom of the pole without that person getting mad at jake.
