How Allison Can Survive

Well, she can't. But we've seen weirder last minute switches in the past, so as Romeo Void once sang, "Never Say Never". It's highly unlikely, but her only hope is to do the following (which should have started the minute Josh and Sharon won HOH):

1. Enjoy the rest of the week. Have fun. Appear to be resigned to the fact that you're going, and just be in a good mood these last three day. BUT, don't put on a false front. Truly try to enjoy yourself, but you're not a good enough actor to present a smile while secretly stewing.

2. Avoid game talk. You bury yourself more every time you talk about the game. Don't fall into the trap. If others want to talk, just listen but don't add anything that can be used against you. Most importantly, don't be seen huddling with James, Chelsia, Matt, or Natalie.

3. Avoid the dozen or so phrases that nobody believes. Don't tell people you "adore" them, or any of the other sayings you like to babble over and over. If you like a meal, feel free to compliment the cook, but don't repeat the phrase for emphasis or claims it's the best meal you've ever had. They've all picked up on the phoniness of these proclamations.

4. Utilize Ryan. It's time for your partner to do your work. Everybody likes him, and nobody considers him a liar. He's also a very subtle talker. He's the one who needs to get it out there that it was Sheila who wanted the lezbo story to continue on. He's the one who can point out to others Matt's multiple lies to every single person in teh house. He's also the one who can work out deal with other couples, as long as he keeps Allison's name out of the conversation.

5. Wait for Sheila's inevitable meltdown. Every moment that Allison acts like she's enjoying herself is a moment closer to Sheila cracking up under pressure. If she goes nuts either tomorrow or Tuesday, Allison and Ryan could be saved.

6. Pray that alcohol is served. Don't partake, but you have to understand that Natalie is one drunken night away from telling all about her bedtime activities with Matt. Ok, you don't know about the bj's, but you do know she's extremely frustrated that he continually blows her off. Sit back and let it happen, because the entire game could change if this story comes out.

Scott, this is all well and nice. But she doesn't listen to Ryan, she doesn't even listen to herself, I don't think she'll be listening to you :-P

I can't wait to look back on this blog and say "WELL SHE FOLLOWED NONE OF THE 6 EASY STEPS TO TRYING TO SAVE YOURSELF LAST MINUTE"

Oh, I know it won't happen. No woman has ever listened to me before; why would she? I guarantee another round of arguing before Showtime starts tonight.

So why do we have two cameras on Josh in the tub and two on Matt doing absolutely nothing? Ugh.

GAWD I wish YOU were in the house right now. It's been hard to watch this year, as it's all porn (for BBAD, which I've stopped watching), no game. It was really hard to watch last year, but at least there was still strategy and deal making going on.

Reading this post made me feel better, as if knowing how the game COULD be played was a substitute for how it is not being played.
