Well I think this round is working out beautifully!
Nathan nominated Donna after Anthony vetoed himself off the block. Thank goodness he didn't nominate me against Tom! That would have been detrimental!
As it is, it looks like everyone will vote out Donna and Tom will remain safe. Tom filled me in on his little vote nullifier power that he will be able to use next round while it is still good. I have verified that Warren/Scott and Anthony have all voted for Donna as well so YAY!!!! This is a VERY VERY good thing.
Now just have to get the next HoH. Unfortunately Warren will definitely use his little power to stay off the block and I would HAVE to nominate Nathan against Scott which would suck because I don't want to have to nominate Nathan again....but I would hope to be able to pull him off and get Warren back up after the veto.
Can't risk not going ALL out on the next competition though! Crucial competition.

I cannot believe that it is the final 5 and I am still standing in this game! I believe that I have played a great game. I was the first person...and really the only person to call out Warren on his threat level. No one else has really pressured him like I did. I can't believe that both he and I are still standing in this game with all things considered! And the great thing about that is that I have gotten to know a really amazing player and person. Warren is a super guy.
I have also gotten to know Nathan and am very impressed with him. Actually, at this point in the game (since Scott is out) I can honestly say that this is a great final 5.
As much as I LOVE Tom, I couldn't honestly say that he would deserve to win this game over anyone else. He would have to explain what his strategy was to me because being nice just doesn't cut the mustard in the end vote. I hate to say that because he is one of my most favorite people! I have a final 2 agreement with Anthony which I fully intend to fulfill (of course). I don't necessarily think he has played a ground breaking game either but he has won competitions (which I can't seem to do!) so he has that going for him.
Warren and Nathan would be a really hard vote for me to make. They have both played great games...I would probably vote for Nathan to win though because I feel that he has played edgier. Warren has been a bit reactive while I feel that Nathan has been more of a prowler.
As far as I am concerned, I like the numbers that I have in the game...but in the big brother house, numbers aren't necessarily important. If Warren wins the next competition then he can get rid of either myself, Tom, or Anthony and not have to worry.
My strategy to get to the end of the game is of course going to be to continue to place myself up high enough on the rung to not be an immediate target but also try to win the next HoH. I don't think Tom has a chance unless he shows up and so it is all on my shoulders. I would hate to nominate Warren or Nathan but at this point would have to do it. I don't want to backdoor either of them but to ensure that one of them leaves, I would have to put them both up with my original nomination.
