Okay after a long battle here's how I personally played Rookies Game 16553.
At the start I made a 3 person alliance with Najoge and LadyBlaq. I got a text from Kob asking for an alliance. Knowing something was up I decided to strike up a fellow Ohio bond with Cincy to see if he got one two (already knowing Najoge and Lady got one). Once I found out he did Cincy asked for a side alliance that involved me/cincy/student/kob. I accepted since Student777 was HoH.
I made a blunder really early on when I mistook a PM that wasn't intended for me from Cincy. I told Student he was in trouble. When I realized I was dumb I knew I couldn't back track and called Cincy out. Luckily, the house sided with me. I promised Student777 safety if I avoided nominations. I also convinced Kob it was us 2 together even though he was always my main target from the start (thanks to all the bets.) I succeded. Student777 nominated Cincy for eviction.
I Got HoH Round 2. Najoge who was also nominated (and my partner) made some waves. I convinced Kob to aid in getting Cincy out and he followed. For his efforts and as my target I went behind his back and gained 2 more alliance people (Sheena and Randy) to add to my already existing alliance with Najoge and Lady. With their votes I knew I could eliminate Kob. Chap at that point was a pawn. What really pushed my alliance over the edge was Chap's begging to keep Kob. THat was his final nail and he went bye bye.
Lucky for me Randy got HoH next round. As my new alliance member Randy nominated the other side of the house. Chap/Student. Randy was full force on getting Chap out which I was okay with. Vh1 was the new HoH which spelt trouble for me but luckily I had veto and used that to convince him to not nominate me. I promised Vh1 I'd use veto on Chap (I didn't and thought she would leave). Vh1 held his end of the promsie and nominated Randy/Lady. While I looked like I was tight with them (Chap stayed with a tie vote) even though I gave Najoge my veto.
With my original alliance member Najoge and Lady both in trouble I knew it was time to cut Randy loose. Issue? He had veto. After some brief subtle hints he should use it on Lady b/c at the time Vh1 wanted her gone. Randy listened and gave Lady veto. Randy thought everyone was voting Najoge. I went behind his back and made sure Sheena and I were both giving him 3's. I then told Vh1 and Chap to give Lady 3's (knowing she was vetoed) and Najoge 1s. Which left Randy with 2's. Thus having the most votes thus causing Randy to leave. Sorry.
I won HoH for a 2nd time. Knew I was safe and knew it was a simple pick. Chap/Vh1. My intent was to get rid of Chap but once again that didn't happen. Chap though was fooled by an ingenious move on both Lady and I's part. We were going to seperately PM either Chap and Vh1 to make it seem like we were voting Naj so Chap's hopes would be up and her not use veto. We even staged a fight. A fight that Chap only made better by posting my PM's (the pm's I sent her to get rid of Randy) as proof. I poked and egged her on and got her to state the classic line "You getting so worked up proves it!". I warned her she would look stupid. Now she knows why.
Sheena got HoH after that. I knew I was safe. I instructed Sheena to nominate Vh1/Chap even though one of them was definately leaving the round before. This way it would give Chap and Vh1 (whoever was left) a 100% 5th place finish!
I made a Final 5 alliance and got 4 of us to the end. 1 of them was inactive the whole game and I made people think I was on their side even though I continued to backstab them. I outsmarted 5 veterans and proved a newbie at Rookies has what it takes to go far and not be bullied into a corner. I know the game I played was dirty but I was always stating my opinions and views in public. I never back down from fights.
