The April Situation

[Nicole Schaffrich]

Here it is, ladies:

Nicole: (8:06:31 PM) hello <3
April: (8:06:41 PM) Hey babe
Nicole: (8:06:50 PM) how's it going??
April: (8:07:02 PM) Not good lol
Nicole: (8:07:11 PM) what's wrong?
April: (8:08:42 PM) I feel like im on the outside of like the alliances
Nicole: (8:10:31 PM) what makes you feel that way?
April: (8:11:05 PM) Im not gonna say "think".. I know I am
Nicole: (8:11:41 PM) okay well, who else have you been talking to in the game?
April: (8:19:23 PM) I mean, Ive been cordial with almost everyone but apparently thats not enough
April: (8:19:42 PM) I havent talked game with anyone,
Nicole: (8:21:07 PM) i don't talk game with a lot of people either, but i try to be available for game talk in case people want to see where i'm coming from.
Nicole: (8:21:16 PM) i don't want you to feel like no one has your back though
April: (8:21:43 PM) Thats sort of how I feel though
April: (8:22:47 PM) Because I thought we were uber cool, omgbffs, etc lol but we havent talked game either and you could very well fool me..
Nicole: (8:23:22 PM) lmao! you could be doing the same to me, i would hope you're not though
Nicole: (8:23:49 PM) i like you a lot, we get along, and i'm not coming after you.
April: (8:26:27 PM)
Nicole: (8:27:41 PM) so where do you stand so far? like in terms of the game?
April: (8:28:59 PM) Im not on anyones side, I just go off personal connection since I havent talked game with anyone
Nicole: (8:29:15 PM) that makes sense
April: (8:29:53 PM) Someone told me I could be percieved as a floater, and I was like WHATTT? Because i would consider myself far from a floater
April: (8:29:58 PM) I compare myself to Rachel
April: (8:30:18 PM) There hasnt been any sides for me to be a floater
Nicole: (8:31:30 PM) i don't think there are sides either, really, although i was a little paranoid when we first started the game that there might have been a vets alliance
April: (8:33:18 PM) Do you talk game with anyone?
Nicole: (8:34:41 PM) the only real game talk i've done has been around eviction time if people ask how i'm voting
Nicole: (8:35:30 PM) after you took yourself off the block last week, i decided i want to use the dpov, so i asked a few people who were online if i had the votes to evict jordan. but that's the extent of my game talk
Nicole: (8:36:59 PM) like, i'm not sure how you voted lol, but i figured you would vote out jordan if i put her up
April: (8:39:58 PM) No, I voted out Karen
Nicole: (8:40:17 PM) ohh okay
April: (8:40:24 PM) Im not gonna lie. I talked to Jordan. Never talked to Karen.
April: (8:40:53 PM) Nothing against you,
Nicole: (8:41:39 PM) no no, i understand
Nicole: (8:42:06 PM) i like Jordan a lot but i was nervous about her, she intimidated me
April: (8:42:41 PM) It was a good move, im not gonna lie about that either
Nicole: (8:43:08 PM) i feel like you're mad at me
April: (8:43:24 PM) How come?
April: (8:43:30 PM) Im totally not
April: (8:43:39 PM) I wasnt tight with jordan at all
Nicole: (8:43:58 PM) oh no, not about the Jordan thing lol
April: (8:44:13 PM) Oh lol then how so
Nicole: (8:46:18 PM) if you want to start talking game, we can
April: (8:46:39 PM) Im not mad. The only way id be disappointed is if you played me
Nicole: (8:46:51 PM) likewise lol!
Nicole: (8:47:24 PM) i just enjoy talking to you, so i've never really asked where your head is at in the game
Nicole: (8:47:36 PM) we've always had other things to talk about lol
April: (8:47:43 PM) I knowww, it like slipped my mind lol
Nicole: (8:47:51 PM) lol
April: (8:49:08 PM) Aw youre making me feel so much better lol
Nicole: (8:49:26 PM) i don't want you to feel out of the loop anymore haha
April: (8:50:20 PM)
Nicole: (8:50:50 PM) so then let's talk game! lmao
April: (8:50:58 PM) aw.. Lets!
April: (8:51:09 PM) I know im still out of the loop with the majority, but it doesnt phase me
Nicole: (8:51:49 PM) i'm not in the loop with the majority either lol, i don't think there's a solid majority alliance, i just think there was a common interest to eliminate annie and jordan bc they're strong players

Then she signed off, signed back in and didn’t say anything. I copied and pasted the last thing I wrote, and it continued:

April: (9:05:15 PM) I have a feeling there is though
April: (9:05:39 PM) I like have a gut instinct lol
April: (9:06:40 PM) What do you think about Porshe, Dustin, and Renny?
Nicole: (9:08:03 PM) i've never thought about the three of them together, Dustin doesn't really talk very much game
Nicole: (9:09:03 PM) and Renny i talk to pretty often, she's never mentioned anything about that, i feel like she would say something
April: (9:09:06 PM) I dont know if they are together, I was asking what you think of them as players
Nicole: (9:09:13 PM) ohh lol
Nicole: (9:09:15 PM)
April: (9:09:21 PM) Lol its fine
Nicole: (9:10:07 PM) i like all three of them as people, i talk to Dustin a lot, usually about randomness
Nicole: (9:10:29 PM) Renny i talk to a lot too, and she's really nice. of the three, i talk to Porsche the least i would say
April: (9:11:15 PM) Its just about to be a war in this game, and I wanna throw the first bomb ya know?
Nicole: (9:11:58 PM) lmao oh wow!
April: (9:12:04 PM) People are after me supposedly because im a floater so why not show them what im capable of
Nicole: (9:12:14 PM) well, what are you thinking?
April: (9:12:25 PM) Lol I know. Very badass
Nicole: (9:14:42 PM) hahaha
April: (9:15:07 PM) I dont know... If I win this hoh, its happening lol
Nicole: (9:15:50 PM) who do you think you'd nominate?
April: (9:15:56 PM) But before I do that, I really need to get some people on my side, ya know? Or at least attempt to.
April: (9:16:17 PM) Lol idk , it could be anyone
Nicole: (9:17:35 PM) giiiiirl, don’t even think about it!
April: (9:18:04 PM) How do you want to play this game?
Nicole: (9:18:36 PM) what do you mean lol?
April: (9:19:13 PM) Balls to the wall or more low key
April: (9:19:42 PM) Like Rachel or Adam?
Nicole: (9:20:00 PM) lmao! definitely not Adam, but you can't be balls to the wall *all* the time
April: (9:20:21 PM) I knowww, you have to play smart
April: (9:20:37 PM) But I just feel like going balls to the wall lmao
April: (9:21:36 PM) Like I really want there to be a direct line of division like season 6
Nicole: (9:24:01 PM) who's on what side though? like, who are your main targets?
April: (9:24:50 PM) Dustin, Porshe, Renny
April: (9:25:07 PM) Dustin is annoying as hell
April: (9:25:21 PM) I think Porshe is aligned with like everyone
April: (9:25:56 PM) And I tried to talk to Renny and I can tell she was lying to me so thats not someone I would want to be associated with
April: (9:26:32 PM) Those are the 3 that need to be worried if I won hoh
Nicole: (9:27:00 PM) i'm really worried about the redemption twist too :s
April: (9:27:32 PM) If jordan comes back, we could TOTALLY use that to our advantage
April: (9:27:38 PM) Omg
Nicole: (9:28:01 PM) lmao i don't think jordan would want to work with me
April: (9:28:06 PM) Is that uncomfortable? If I say "we"?
April: (9:28:49 PM) I dont know either, but its worth a try
April: (9:30:03 PM) Im so out of the loop with the newbs, I have no choice
Nicole: (9:30:51 PM) i'm not 100% comfortable with jordan coming back though
Nicole: (9:30:57 PM) just because she'd obviously come straight for me lol
April: (9:32:23 PM) Like, someone asked me, "how do feel now that annie is gone" as if it affects or we were aligned. I didnt like her and we never talked.. I told her congrats on hoh twice and she.said ty.. Thats it -_-
April: (9:33:20 PM) Idk, but I think jordan could be easily swayed.if she did come back because she has no one
April: (9:34:20 PM) Shes someone I would want to work with because I hear shes loyal and a great competitor
Nicole: (9:35:17 PM) she's definitely a good competitor, that's why i put her up haha
April: (9:35:49 PM) Lol xD
Nicole: (9:35:49 PM) but she has a mean streak and i know she'd be looking for revenge if she came back. it's nothing personal against her at all, but i hope she doesn't get back into the game :s
April: (9:36:45 PM) Did Ragan talk to you at all when he was in the game?
Nicole: (9:38:40 PM) yeah he did, but not since his eviction
Nicole: (9:38:43 PM) what about you?
April: (9:39:08 PM) Not much
April: (9:39:30 PM) Dont him and Dustin have some sort of beef?
Nicole: (9:39:42 PM) lmaoo it sure looked like it on the board!
April: (9:39:50 PM) Lmaoo
April: (9:40:06 PM) If he comes back, I have to take advantage<3
April: (9:40:24 PM) I want Dustin gone anyway,
April: (9:40:30 PM) He doesnt annoy you?
Nicole: (9:41:34 PM) lmao he's a nice guy when you talk to him, he's well-intentioned
April: (9:42:46 PM) Im sure lol

Then I called her mean and the conversation moved to Season 2 of Big Brother, the real Nicole, and guys with bad teeth.

[Jun Song]

She wants a war, let's give it to her!

[Sarah Hrejsa]

[21:42] bbr10sarah: hey hon!
[21:42] April: Omg hey babe!!
[21:43] bbr10sarah: how are you doing?
[21:43] April: Ive missed you
[21:43] bbr10sarah:
[21:43] April: Eh, im fine.
[21:44] bbr10sarah: same here...it feels like so much has happened since we last talked
[21:44] bbr10sarah: lol
[21:44] April: I know tell me about it
[21:45] April: Earlier I was talking to a couple of people and ive just realized a few things
[21:46] bbr10sarah: what are you thinking?
[21:46] April: I may be on the outside of all the alliances, etc
[21:49] bbr10sarah: well you're the only one I've approached for any kind of alliance...otherwise, i'm just friendly with everyone...the only other one i knew about was the vets alliance
[21:49] bbr10sarah: c
[21:49] April: Yeah, I hear.. I trust you though
[21:50] bbr10sarah: who else do you know about?
[21:50] April: Which I cant say for most of the people in this game
[21:51] April: I havent heard of any alliances but I have a feeling something is going on
[21:52] bbr10sarah: i can try to feel out some people
[21:53] April: What do you think of Dustin?
[21:55] bbr10sarah: I don't really trust him at all. I talk to him to be friendly, but I haven't really talked game with him. Plus I'm pretty sure I'm one of his top targets
[21:55] bbr10sarah: what about you?
[21:55] April: I feel the same way
[21:55] April: I tried to talk to him today and he was sort of rude
[21:55] April: Hes annoying, and I really dont like him
[21:56] bbr10sarah: When I was on the block earlier, he told me he'd keep me over renny and Karen but that was pretty much it
[21:56] bbr10sarah: plus he kept nominating me on the mini bb hoh comp
[21:58] April: He gives off an attitude that thinks hes secure and it bothers me
[21:59] bbr10sarah: I agree
[22:00] April: Who would you nominate?
[22:01] bbr10sarah: Possibly Dustin and Parker...Ppl have made comments that lead me to believe Parker's coming after me
[22:02] bbr10sarah: And also Karen just bc i haven't talked to her at all, but those are the two that i believe are bigger threats
[22:03] bbr10sarah: what about you?
[22:05] April: Idk, dustin definitely popped in my head lol
[22:06] April: And Karen too, but I feel like I should nominate a bigger fish than her
[22:06] April: Like Porshe. Apparently we arent close enough?
[22:07] bbr10sarah: lol is there more than what was on the message board of you guys not talking?
[22:07] April: No, there isnt. We just dont talk lol
[22:08] April: And its like, you dont make an effort to talk to me either
[22:08] bbr10sarah: that was my first two weeks with the hohs lol
[22:09] bbr10sarah: So if you're hoh are you thinking dustin and porsche then?
[22:10] April: lol, but now alliances are starting to set and enemies are needed, ya know?
[22:10] April: I dont know, because imnot sure where renny stand either
[22:11] bbr10sarah: i haven't really talked to her about game at all so i have no clue either....
[22:12] bbr10sarah: other then talking to you, nicole asked me about the jordan thing and then just seeing if i would have votes
[22:12] April: So shes a potential nominee
[22:12] bbr10sarah: have you talked to parker at all?
[22:12] April: A little, nothing big though
[22:13] April: Small talk at the beginning of the game
[22:13] bbr10sarah: same here, and just friendly stuff
[22:14] April: What about Steven?
[22:15] bbr10sarah: basic friendliness, he's always told me i had his vote so i like him, but i thought he's been with the vets so i haven
[22:16] bbr10sarah: haven't done game with him
[22:16] bbr10sarah: you?
[22:16] April: I havent talked to him like that all. We are always never on at the same time
[22:16] April: So no time for a real convo
[22:17] bbr10sarah: what do you think of jun?
[22:17] April: Shes cool, shes one of the better ones
[22:18] bbr10sarah: would we want to try to work with her?
[22:18] bbr10sarah: i've been cool with her this whole game and thought of trying to align with her initially
[22:20] April: Omg we should
[22:20] April: Shes really cool
[22:20] April: 3 of us<3
[22:21] bbr10sarah: so you, me, jun then maybe
[22:21] bbr10sarah: what about nicole?
[22:22] April: Nicole is someone I like alot aswell!
[22:23] April: You 3 are seriously all I talk to<3


here you guys go...everyone was basically gone over

[Jun Song]

Yeah... the 3 of us....




Yet, the jokes on you fool so take that.

[Nicole Schaffrich]

Thanks for posting that, Sarah.

If she wins HOH, the three of us should do everything we can to steer her away from Porsche and Renny. We can convince her that Dustin and Parker are a pair (even if they're not working together anymore); that way, she'll nominate the two of them and we can vote out Parker. What do you guys think?

[Porsche Briggs]

I think at least I'm a bigger fish

Really I think I will see what this HOH brings and go from there but that sounds like a good plan to still try and get Parker out this week if even April were to win HOH. With you in her good graces she would believe prob anything you might say. Perhaps you heard Parker was going after April or better yet he had the balls to call her a floater? Getting out Parker with April as HOH would be a pretty bad ass move!

I do want to point out that this pisses me off

[22:06] April: Like Porshe. Apparently we arent close enough?
[22:07] bbr10sarah: lol is there more than what was on the message board of you guys not talking?
[22:07] April: No, there isnt. We just dont talk lol
[22:08] April: And its like, you dont make an effort to talk to me either

In the beginning I made plenty of effort to get to know April. She would just stop talking to me or dissappear. After several attempts of being nice I did stop trying. I still sent her an IM after veto saying congrats and she was talking to Jun at the time so I know she was there. She totally ignored that until I won HOH when I still told her I didn't want her out and I just needed Annie gone. So yeah that is pretty lame for her to say

K stepping down from the soap box

[Sarah Hrejsa]

That's what I'm hoping....that we can steer her to go after Karen, parker, steven, or dustin for us and make them seem like bigger threats then they actually are

[Jun Song]

It can actually happen! If April trusts you me & Nicole that much. Say if she wins HoH this week and we can plant seeds in her head saying Parker said that he told us April is a floater! Perfect Scenario only if she is HoH though, it'll work!

[Porsche Briggs]

Yes if she isn't HOH we won't need to bother but the floater thing seemed to bother her.

When Jun and I were chatting I mentioned that she could even say she called her a floater today because of what Parker said so that may set her off in another direction other than Renny and I. She has issues with me yet didn't confront me with any of them, same with Renny so I doubt that she would ask Parker if he really said that or not.

I am sure that we can work through this!

signing off for the night
xoxo The Big Fish

[Nicole Schaffrich]

I forgot to mention this before; that was smart, Sarah, to corroborate my story about checking in with people for the votes to evict Jordan. Thank you for that.

At least we have a plan in place if April wins HoH. If Steven, Parker, Karen, or Dustin wins, we steer them towards April. And if we win, then we have no worries!

[Porsche Briggs]

I know 110% that if Dustin wins April is going up. If Steven gets HOH we actually talk quite a bit so I will work on that if Parker or Karen get it I'll think of something LOL

If April wins someone forward her this:

[15:51] Parker Sommerville: I want April gone so badly, she's such an annoying little twat.

Only 1 of you send that make sure that you don't all send it!!!!

We need to be careful if Karen wins trying to get her after April because April knows that she may be a "lone wolf" also and they may actually join up

[April Dowling]

<\3

[Chenbot]

April?! Had you signed on more and let me know you were still watching you would have been the last juror. :/

[April Dowling]

:/ would've been nice...
