Episode Eight

Houseguests: Dan Gheesling, Daniele Donato, Laura Crosby, Will Wikle

The Final 4: Dan, Daniele, Laura, and Will. They were happy that they all made it so far.

[Chat in the Living Room]
Dan: My gosh you guys, we are in the final 4!! WOOO!
Laura: Congrats Dan, Will and Daniele! If I don't win, then I'll be happy if any of you three do.
Will: HURRAY!

I kind of want me and Daniele in the final 2 because I feel like if I go up against her, people will vote for me because they'll think I'm more active and played a better game.

Danielle, Laura, Will, and I had a final four deal from a few weeks ago; I told them I'd keep them safe from Janelle and Jordan, and I did. Now I have to start playing for myself secretly, and that means getting Laura & Will out of the house. I can see myself winning against Danielle and Laura, but mostly just Danielle. Will? I think he could possibly beat me..and plus. . Danielle and I have been looking out for each other for a long time. Just nobody knows. .

Ohgoodness, it's really making me nervous. I wanna make final three and final two sooooo bad!! It doesn't really matter who wins HOH this week it's all about who wins the veto. I hope that Daniele or Will win, because Dan is the biggest threat in the game. I want Dan gone, Jordan's last words to me are all the jury is gonna vote on is based on game performance, and Dan has outshined everyone left in that catergory. I feel like I'll have more of a chance will Daniele and Will.

At the HoH competition, the houseguests had to remember the day events happened in the house in a competition called 'How the Days Go By'. Dan did extremely well and was crowned the new HoH.

YES!!!! I honestly don't even know. My biggest threat is Will for sure. BUT I don't think Daniele nor Laura has played the game enough to deserve a spot. So do I take the person who deserves it who could potentially beat me, or take the 2 people who dont' deserve it who I will win against. Will & I have a final 2 deal as well. I'm not sure, it's a rough decision

dan is a good hoh winner!

I feel okay about Dan being HoH but I don't know if I trust Dan anymore. He's getting shady.

Dan had a hard time coming up with a plan for this week and the following week.

I think I want Laura out though Basically because she put me up on the block. I'd like to keep Daniele though, because if push comes to shove, I'd win over her. I'm just not sure about Will. . He'd win over me because he was more likeable

About 5 minutes later Dan changed his mind.

I am going to put Will up and say it's so Daniele thinks she is safe and wont try hard in the veto so we can backdoor her safely, but I'll make sure Daniele knows that I want to take her to final 2 so either way, daniele or will, will be taking me to the final 2 if nothing gets out. If will wins pov, daniele is gone. if I win, Will is gone. if Laura wins, who knows? lmao

At the nomination ceremony Dan made a decision.

Dan: This week I have won the opportunity to nominate two people, unfortunately sending one home. All three of you know that I like you, hence why we all worked to get us four here together. I believe we all played a great game, and it absolutely *sucks* to have to nominate any of you at all. The only good thing to this is that I have safety. . . that is about it.

Just please don't get upset over these nominations. . .remember that if any of you would have won, you'd be in the same position, and this is not fun. Will and Laura I have nominated you this week.

Laura: The only reason I can give to have been nominating you if that you put me on the block last week. I know it wasn't personal, but I had to choose. I'm so sorry POV is still available

Will: To be honest, Will, you are my biggest threat. You are also a great friend, but we've won the same amount of things. If I didn't put you on the block, I'd be insane. POV is still an option, and once again - I'm so sorry.

Win the veto. And if I'm the deciding vote I'll have to evict Will because I know that if I was in the final two with Daniele, I'd probably win.

At the veto competition called 'Board Race' and the final four did just that. They had to race through a series of boards. Laura easily claimed victory in the final veto competition of the season.

It feels soooo good to have pretty much all of the power in the house!!! And who would have thought that Laura would have made the final three? This was the BEST scenario ever.

I just wish I was here for the POV. I wasn't even aware that it was going to happen that fast or I would have made sure to be here for it.

At the veto ceremony Laura made an easy decision.

Laura: As the winner of the power of veto, I have the opportunity of taking down one of the HOH's nominations. So it's either taking myself or Will off the block.I've made up my mind and I have decided to use the power of veto on........Myself.

Dan, it is your duty to replace someone in my place but you only have one option, so Daniele go ahead and take my place.

I'm honestly not even sure. . . This is so difficult. Will is my best friend in the house, but he is the biggest threat.

I hate hurting people especially people I care about. I freaking love Daniele and Will and have absolutely NOTHING against either of them. This is the most difficult decesion ever. *tears up* I have made it soo far and this decision could make me or break my game. Whoever I don't evict will be my prefrence for the finale with me, Dan is the biggest threat to win.

me and laura!

Before Laura cast her vote, Will asked Laura to keep him.

Will: Laura, I know that this past week it seems like I've completely checked out but please believe me when I say that is NOT the case. It was literally like TWO DAYS of being busy and I missed basically a whole week in this game. We've all had these times when we've been busy and it makes us seem inactive. I know my time came at a pretty shitty time but that's just how the cookie crumbles, doesn't it?

I just don't want you to think of me as suddenly inactive and use that as a reason to not take me with you into the final three.

Also, I feel like I've played a good game. I've competed in everything I was asked to compete in. I've won some, I've lost some. I haven't really been conniving or manipulative. I've been myself 100% this entire game. I would REALLY love for you to take me into the final three with you. But you know, Daniele is a great competitor too and whatever you decide will be a great decision and I will respect you for it.

please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please

take me with you! lol please
(hey, I figured begging never hurts anyone. lol)

In the end Laura decided Will was too big of a jury threat and she cast the sole vote to evict him.
