Oh... Luca...
I'm heartbroken. I honestly can't believe that he's gone.
Of course, I know that this is just a game and that in the literal sense Luca hasn't actually gone anywhere; he's still right here, a jury member even, and it's not like we won't continue to be BFF after all of this is over. I still can't shake this overwhelming sense of guilt though, like I'm ultimately the one to blame for tanking his game.
Luca was someone who I relied on so much during these past few weeks. Through all of the drama and the ugliness, he stood by me, even when it would have been so much easier and better for his game not to. He's a true friend, and he deserved so much better.

Merge! It's so exciting. To have made it to such a milestone point in the game is huge. So much is at stake right now and the outcome of the season is probably going to come down to drawing rocks, but right now all I want to do is just take a minute to breathe and celebrate just how far each of us has come.

Individual Immunity win number five! I'm ecstatic to be holding the series title, even if it's only for like a second... I think that Dominic will probably surpass me before this is all over, but for now I'm just soaking it in and taking a huge sigh of relief... ah!
The first vote at the merge is typically insane, and with the lines drawn so evenly heading into this Judgment, you just can't put a price on guaranteed safety. Each side has an Idol, so it's really anyone's guess as to how things are gonna go. I wouldn't be surprised if it went to rocks but I also wouldn't be shocked if someone leaves as a result of an Idol being played either.
For my alliance, the most important thing is making sure that the other side can't anticipate who we're putting our votes on this round. It would be great to know who they're voting for obviously, but even if it does go to a draw, with Dominic and I off limits, the odds would still be in our favor.
This is going to be the most important vote yet; maybe the most important vote of the entire game. It's ime to roll the dice.

It really upsets me that people in this game have resorted to making allegations about Selena's character. I've gotten to know Selena really well over the past four weeks, and I can say with complete certainty that she is not a racist. To make those claims about her is really low, especially amid all of the very real racism currently taking place on Big Brother 15.
This whole ridiculous thing stems from a fight that Knox and Selena had, which culminated in Selena saying, "adios amigo!"
Apparently, and I say this respectfully, the use of Spanish deeply offended Knox, who is hispanic.
While it might not have been the best choice of words on Selena's part, I know that Selena's comments weren't meant to be taken in a malicious or derogatory context and she even apologized to Knox afterwards for what she'd said...
Ever since though, Henry and Knox have been voicing their disapproval of "Selena's bigotry" to anyone who will listen. Last night Henry made a comment to Dominic regarding the whole controversy, about there being 'only so much racism one person (Knox) could take in a game like this before they broke down.' Wow dude, give me a break...
I'm not trying to be insensitive to Knox, but Selena is my friend and those claims are slanderous in the worst possible way... I can tell that they've really hurt her. All of this drama just continues to transcend the game and it's making the whole atmosphere really unbearable...
