im in this game with a bunch of people in a four way alliance and i siezed the HoH a perfect chance to GUARENTEE himself a rookies win. If he put up 2 people in his alliance me and my "friend" would definately get HoH and would keep him safe and knock out the big target. the other HoH would have a definate win cuz he had more playing time and way more plus posts... so to continue he said 'no' because he said he doesnt care about winning he wants to get to the final4 w/ his alliance (which he would definately get fourth)
