I wake up ready to finally get a chance enact revenge on Alex. I find Emily to try and get a plan out together for how we were going to get everyone in the house to vote him out. We ended up deciding that exposing his damn lies to me and Annaleigh was probably the best route, we're hoping the group will side with us and vote him out the only hard part is trying to make sure he lands in the bottom. I hurry up and get ready so I can find out what today's challenge is going to be. We all get in our places today they have filming taking place in this luxurious dining room, the have the everyone around the table seated with note cards and pens in front of us. Shamir walks into the room ready to start filming. "Good morning mockers. Today's challenge will test your knowledge of 'hearsay' in the house! However, there is a twist. If you do not know any information then you will have to do a dare selected by the audience since they know all of the real tea as you young people say. How to win this week is to know the most and best tea and to lose you have to have the least amount of knowledge or do three audience dares. So. mockers good luck because in today's case hearsay is always let in!" I'm not gonna lie this weeks challenge scared me because I don't know how much tea everyone else has on me or will I have to resort to Emily's secrets... or maybe she will resort to mine. The challenge starts and we all write down some hearsay things about each other as I wrote down "Jillian claims she is the smartest one in the remaining contestants." Which is something I overheard her say? Sean wrote down " Drew feels bad for the rest of us because we have no shot at winning since he's competed for the most." Poor Cassadi most of the tea she had to spill was either something we already said or she had to do a dare. Jillian kept doing good she somehow knows a lot of secrets that go on in this house. Alex has no clue what goes on in this house he is so self-absorbed so he kept doing dares. The game kept going and luckily me and Emily didn't have to reveal any of our deep dark secrets until well, Sean pulled out hella tea he said "One of the contestants smokes weed regularly... on the show." So, it left me with no choice I had to pull the plug on Alex so that's what I did. I said, "Alex has been playing Annaleigh and messing around with another contestant on the show and it's me." The only thing I heard after that was "holy fuck" so Jillian was obviously surprised. I hate that I had to do that to Annaleigh so publicly but I hope it was worth because I couldn't let Sean win. Shamir came back and did the outro but as soon as he got done he was pissed. He dragged Olivia and Levi away, he slammed the producing station door and started yelling at them. I went to my room to get ready for the next segment which was the date card. I was almost done getting ready when Alex walked into my room and sat on my bed. I asked him in a very annoyed tone what he wanted, and he had the audacity to say "you, I want you." I was honestly taken back by his words I turned around to face him and he looks serious. It felt like time had stopped and it was just us but I for some reason turned away from him and started to walk out of the door, it hurt me to walk out of that door but I couldn't tell if he was serious or if he didn't want to leave the house yet. As I was walking he grabbed my wrist and stopped me he said: "Trey I am serious I chose you." I told him "I wish we could but Alex I truly just don't know if I am ready to forgive you yet," I said those things and I meant every word but I still kissed his cheek before I walked away.
Walking away was hard but I knew that's what I had to do. I went downstairs to meet the others for Shamir's announcement of what the date would be tonight. I was really looking forward to having a good time with my friends and to not worry about the Alex situation. When I got to the living room I sat down on the couch next to Emily and Annaleigh. They seemed excited so I was really looking forward to the date. When I looked around the room I saw Jillian and Sean whispering to each other in the corner. They obviously didn't want anyone else to hear what they were saying and that's fine, I got better things to worry about than their petty drama. Shamir finally came down a few minutes later and said that tonight's date was going to be "awkward, flirty, and dramatic". Before any of us got to ask what he meant he explained how only 3 contestants would be going on the date, and that they had "some issues to work on". He then announced that Me, Alex, and Annaleigh would be going on the group date together and that we were going to a fancy Mexican restaurant in a private dining room. To say I was upset would be an understatement. I understand why the producers did this because controversy usually brings nice publicity, but the last thing I wanted to do tonight was around that douchebag Alex. He looks over and smirks at me but I do my best to remain calm. I can't let him know how much his gaze affects me. I turn to Annaleigh and the poor girl is shaking. I put an arm around her and tell her "we'll get through this together". Shamir then said that the rest of the contestants would be staying at the mansion to have a movie night. Drew asked what movie and Shamir replied "A Few Good Men-- the best lawyer movie ever" Obviously this man has never seen Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, & Blonde. So let's just say that announcement made me grateful that I was going on the date instead. Shamir then sent us back to our rooms to get ready for the date. On the walk back to the rooms Emily wished us good luck and hugged us goodbye. We all got dressed and the limo picked the three of us up. It was the most awkward car ride of my life. Alex sat on one side while Annaleigh and I sat on the other side. And of course, Alex went straight for the booze and chugged a whole bottle of champagne before we even pulled out of the driveway. That man was obviously intimidated by Annaleigh and me, and it felt good knowing we had control over the situation. After a very silent car ride, we finally pulled up to the restaurant. We get to our table and Annaleigh and I have our own conversation, completing ignoring Alex. After awhile he slammed his fists on the table and said: "ALRIGHT ENOUGH". He said " I'm done pretending that our situation doesn't exist" and Annaleigh replied "The situation where you played both me and Trey? because believe us we know it exists". I had never heard that much sass from America's Sweetheart and honestly, I loved it. Alex then said "oh sweetheart how naive of you to think that I had real feelings for you, we all know that I only have eyes for one person at this table" and then he winked at me. Ughh men. I then stood up for her and said "Annaleigh is my friend and an alliance partner. I could never mess that up for someone who lied to me multiple times. Alex, as much as I hate saying this, I'm done with you and I can't wait till you're eliminated... for good" That seemed to silence him for a while and our food came. The dinner was filled with awkward small talk, but the endless margaritas helped ease the tension a little bit. After we finished eating Annaleigh left to go to the bathroom and after she was gone Alex looked at me with hungry eyes. Before I could react he leaned over and pulled me into a steamy kiss. I didn't pull away, because let's face it, this man is still hot as hell. We eventually pulled apart and told me that he wanted to be with me, just me. He said that I had to make a decision, be with him or stay friends with Annaleigh. I then got up and walked away because honestly, that was a tough decision. I really like Annaleigh but I just met her... and I cannot deny this chemistry between me and Alex. So, I don't know what I am going to do. Olivia and Levi followed me out the door and I could tell they were happy with the footage they got today. After another long and awkward limo ride, we arrived back at the mansion. When we walked in the living room those poor other contestants were still watching that long ass movie.... they looked miserable. I went straight back to my room and tried to focus on the next part of the competition. It was almost elimination time and I knew whose side I needed to be on.
