I will share some of my confessional posts with you guys:

I think that Nick and Clownie leaving was good for my game. I'm pretty sure they would have wanted me gone sooner or later. Plus, I have a bond with the girls, so I should be safe with them for a bit longer at least. And also, with the guys gone, the girls are becoming more powerful. The more powerful the girls become, the more everyone else is going to want to make a move on them before they get to the end. The more people want the girls gone, the easier it will be for me to slip by.
When there was strong opposing forces, there were people in the middle who may have seen some benefit to me leaving. I know that when I'm playing the middle, I like to get rid of other people playing the middle, just to make things more predictable, and easier to maneuver through. Now with one of the sides basically demolished, that just leaves the 1 powerful side with Aaryn and Kaitlin. As far as I know, I have the strongest bond with them out of the remaining players, so that should put me in a good spot for now. Either one of the girls win and keep me safe, or someone else wins, and they target the girls instead of me. The only way I'd be in danger is if someone is too scared to take on the girls directly, and want to weaken them through me, or if the girls don't value me as much as I think they do.
As for what to do next, though.... I think I would like to see Howard and Candice leave soon. Howard is good socially, and could bring numbers on his side with his charm. Candice is an easy person to pick up as an extra vote, or even an end game goat. I don't want her as my goat, though, so she needs to go soon before she becomes somebody's goat.

I am sure there are a bunch of side deals all over the place, but this is how I view the game right now, in a general sense:
Aaryn/Kaitlin/Gina Marie Howard/Judd/Candice Elissa Amanda
I excluded myself from that.
GM is a bit of a wildcard, but I think I would lump her in there with Aaryn and Kaitlin. Amanda could be in there with the girls as well, but I feel she would make a move against them soon to get to the end with a shot of winning.
Elissa was the first person I made any sort of commitment to, so I am going to stay solid with her. I would like for her, myself, and Amanda to work on getting to the final 3 together. We are in the perfect position to make it happen. If it got to the final 3, though, and I won HoH.... I honestly don't know what I would do =\. I made a commitment to Elissa, but I think Amanda would be easier to beat in the end. One of my main goals was to play an honest and loyal game, so would I be breaking that if I got rid of Elissa at final 3? I am not even going to think that far ahead, I guess, since there's no guarantees I'll even make it that far.
Now the reason I said the girls have the power now, despite the numbers being even, according to my list above, is because Nick and Jeremy were seen as figureheads. They are now gone, giving the girls momentum and the perception that they are in control. I would like to make those girls appear to be even more control, just to ensure that people really do want them gone asap. That means I will be wanting to work with the girls, and against Howard/Judd/Candice. I think those 3 are more dangerous, anyway. Candice was pretty fast with that puzzle challenge, and is someone that people could be fighting over as their end-game goat. Howard probably has the best social game out of everyone here. And then there is Judd who is just likable, and easy to get along with. I also feel that he has been hiding his challenge strength all game. I worked my ass off in that POV last night, and he would have beat me by like 2 minutes. Although, I was actually the first person into the last page of keys to look through, but that one took me forever, unfortunately. He just found the one in the last page quicker than I did, even though I was the first one to make it there. Maybe he was lucky, but I feel he's been hiding some challenge skill. With the girls, at least you know how they play, and know where their head is at. Also, a lot of their victories weren't too impressive. Kaitlin had an HoH handed to her by Judd. They won that challenge after making multiple mistakes. Aaryn won a luck challenge, and also wont he first challenge, which most people probably purposely lost since they didn't want to get blood on their hands. Overall, I think Howard/Judd/Candice are more dangerous.

I don't know, it's a really tough position to be in because I think that both sides have their pros and cons. On the one hand, letting Aaryn & Kaitlin slip far into this game together is a huge mistake. Plus, they have GinaMarie in their pocket. I feel like if we sided with Howard/Candice, it would really be you/me/Amanda/Judd with Howard and Candice on the outskirts. I think you feel closer to Aaryn & Kaitlin though, right? The good thing is that you don't compete for HoH, so you might not actually need to pick a side tonight because the nominations might be two from the same side. Then we can just kind of roll with it. Can I ask, what have Aaryn & Kait said about me to you?
You're my #1 in this game and you're the only person that I prioritize with myself, so whatever goes down I have your back, and I won't let you be out in danger.
The fact Elissa can say, with confidence, that she thinks Judd would work with us over Candice and Howard just convinces me that Elissa and Judd have some sort of deal and are working together. I now kinda wish Judd was the next to go, just to break up any hidden connections and limit everyone's options. It might be a hard sell, without revealing what Elissa said to me to people, so I don't plan to push a Judd boot too hard, if at all.

My approaches with everyone for now: Aaryn: I told her that the longer she survives, the bigger the target on her back becomes. It's the truth, and I'm sure she knows it. I've proven to be loyal to her all game, so she should have no choice but to have to trust me since she will need numbers to protect herself. Kaitlin: Same as Aaryn Elissa: She has been my main commitment since day 1 or 2. I told her I want to go to the end with her. GM: I told her that the best shot either of us have of winning was against each other. I tried bonding with her over being thrown under the bus with her over the weekend. Amanda: She proposed an alliance of me, her, Elissa, GM, Candice. I will try to play that up and let her know I am interested. I really am interested, actually, as it involves people I would like to get to the end with. Candice: She is happy I didn't nominate her, and I told her she had nothing to worry about with me. She seems to be interested in this middle person alliance, so I will try to play that up, like I do with Amanda, and let her know I can't beat the girls in the end. Howard: I've been extremely honest and level-headed with him since he seems to be the same way. I believe he appreciates it. I let him know that I'm aware there are people I won't beat in the end, and that I am looking at trying to get to the end with a shot of actually winning. It was honest while also hinting that I would be willing to go against the girls. Oh yeah, and having Jeremy above him in my pre-vote list should work to my favor, I think. Judd: Unfortunately, I don't have an angle to work on him yet. I could tell him I am interested in working with him and Elissa, but that would be a lie lol. I am trying to avoid the whole lying thing as much as possible. Speaking of Judd: - Candice

Where are you with judd? I feel he has no real loyalties anymore. Both his allies are gone and now hes telling me in closest to him yet i voted for him!!! So idk where hes coming from.
Another reason Judd needs to go. He is causing this web to have more connections than I'd like it to have.
