Now that all is said and done, I have no more to hide as to details of my strategy. As Jeff and Jake had predicted, there indeed was an alliance. However, they had no real idea of how serious it was.
It was Me, Dustin, Tara, King and Steve all allied, and now us 5 are in the top 6 with EvilJef soon getting kicked out too. Its a pity that we now need to rely on Algo to finish the game, because I've come to befriend and respect all 5 of the other remaining contestants.
Im not nominated though, so its either Tara or Steve going from algo.
Like I said, all thats left now is to see Jef out the door and see what happens between our alliance. There never really was an end game plan, so I guess were just gonna keep plussing eachother and see how the cookie crumbles.
Congrats to everyone who made it this far, Good game to everyone who didnt, and very good game to the people who almost revealed us. Major props, you almost ruined us.
Anyway the morning eviction went exactly as planned, Zoo and Jake were evicted. Not much more to say in this blog so continue reeling over the fact that now you know just how powerful our alliance really was.
Here's the breakdown:
King contacted me early game looking for an endgame alliance and I said yes, but we needed to look for more. Dustin contacted me a a few hours later asking me to join his, because apparently he was already with Tara. Instead we decided to merge and make it 4.
About at day 5, Steve was proving to be a great friend and he PMed Tara about figuring out what our alliance was, so rather than kill him off like we did Jeff, we added him in.
Through careful coordination through MSN and mass negging and voting, we have gained undesputed control of the house.
All we do now.... is wait.

Hey Cole! Mass negging and voting...nice. However, you've played a very powerful game, and managed to get to day 8 as well on your first game, gratz! Good luck!
Colyo - great job on the blog. I am thrilled that we didn't expose our full alliance until just today! it's been a blast- excellent job on so many different levels......woot woot
good game and congrats, if only i had figured out earlier about the alliance, i might have had a chance to break it up, well played, I never really could figure out who exactly was in it.
I have to admit on negging you guys a bit in the last few minutes i was on, in the hopes that one or more might get nommed and lessen your voting power. It clearly didn't work. Once again, Congrats, game well played.
Jeff, the algo selects nominees the same way as it does victims, so its safe to assume it will select a victim from those two.
the only time it didnt, was because we either 1: purposely negged someone to fuck to change the algos mind last minute (you/jake), or 2: we plussed a nomineee like crazy to save them (tara/jef)
