Basically, today's nominations are all down to the fact that, yes, ianfitz0012 is playing this game pretty damn well and JesseM really knows how to get idiots like colbelliveau to listen to him.
I spent a good chunk of an hour trying to convince probably one of the dumbest people I've ever met (colbelliveau) to realize that if he nominated myself and TomC20 he was going to be going up next with someone he probably couldn't beat next, considering Ian/ torimarie/ Runner430 have a pretty tight alliance. Not only did he not listen to a word I said even though I had other people telling him that Jesse was trying to nominate him this morning, but without using any names I tried to tell him that he would be nominated soon because of the close alliances between the other players.
Now, not only are there a number of people willing to nominate him, he has ignited a fire under my ass and I am up and ready to go finally convince a couple people to actually do something that might further them into this game.
