"jamesrhinebb
Rachel wants me to backdoor you lol"

Oh rly? I'm not surprised. What's funny is that I wasn't even targeting Rachel last round by lying to her. I was making a game move that pissed her off. So now it seems her sole goal is to get me out of the game. Chima was on my list of people to target before Rachel, and the only reason I would have went after Rachel to begin with was due to the fact that she was on the outside of the Brolliance. And that was even up in the air last week, so really, it wasn't like she was even on my immediate radar. However, after last round, it's obvious I'm on hers, so that's why she's on mine. But what I love most is that she's telling all this to James, who is on team Davinic (Domid just sounds stupid).

I'm sorry, but Rachel NEEDS to go this round, another reason I wish I was able to compete for that veto, just to be one extra person vying to beat her so that we can evict her now.

[Dominic Briones]

Hell, I would even be content with a Chima victory, assuming James puts up Daniele as the replacement (or even Jason ). That would almost ensure that Rachel is the one to leave, since I know that Joe, myself, and David would CERTAINLY be voting for her eviction, and James could break the tie (if there even was one).

[Dominic Briones]

Lezzzbehonest. Rachel is probably gonna win this PoV. If I felt there was any way I could salvage the chance of us working together, I would, but I really don't think it's possible. She's pushing for me to get backdoored. And I'm pushing for her to leave this week. Just gotta hope that the cards continue to fall in my favor since there's nothing I can physically do to even stop her from winning PoV. Regardless, if she wins, she deserves it. I never denied that she's a strong player. Which, in that sense, was one of the main reason I wanted to cut out Keesha. I didn't want Rachel having too much power with allies. At least, even though she can be a threat, she's pretty much standing on her own two feet in this game, with more than just me now coming after her.

I won't be mad if she wins, bc I genuinely have nothing against Rachel, but I sure as hell want to see her lose, just so that this round could be the perfect time to squash any chance she has at making a comeback. Juries like comeback queens and she's got the potential to swing it.

[Dominic Briones]

Also, idk if it's coincidence, but all of the pre-jury have been pretty actively logging into the board (aside from Wil), and I even saw both Daniele and Kara logged into AIM last night. Found it odd. Perhaps there is some sort of redemption twist? Or maybe we haven't seen the last of them (perhaps they will be back for a challenge or some sort of "punishment" on the house). Just wanted to note that here.

Another note, while I'm thinking about it. Joe=Lane from season 1. He shared that with me last night after making some sort of comment about season 1. I said "you sure know a lot about season 1" and he replied, "because I was in it." He then proceeded to tell me he was Lane in case I was "trying to figure it out." I honestly wasn't gonna even bother, but after he told me, I went back to investigate. From what I gathered, Lane was an early threat, and capable of winning challenges? I didn't dig around too much, but wanted to note that here as well. Don't think it changes much, aside from reaffirming that Joe is likely a contender to win this game.

[Dominic Briones]

James wins PoV, which, I guess, is as good as any? I mean, for him to veto one of his nominees and backdoor me would be VERY ballsy, and likely lose him allies (unless of course the people who I think are my allies are working against me). But, with all things considered, I feel pretty safe, and even better, I'd hope that this is the nail in Rachel's coffin. Not sure how the vote could go otherwise, assuming myself, David, and Joe vote her out. But, anything can happen. Staying on my toes and gonna prepare for the worst.

But now I need to consider that James is definitely a threat as well. Sweeping a week is no easy feat. Sticking with David/Joe/James will mean that my social game is going to have to be almost flawless, because I don't want them to see me as a jury threat, but at the same time, I want them to see me as valuable to their game. Winning challenges against those three is going to take a lot of skill, so I can't just rely on a physical game at the end.

So much to considerrrr!

'grats on the sweep!!!
jamesrhinebb
Thanks bud
jamesrhinebb
Rachel has got to go!
d_ranf
i agree
d_ranf
and im pretty sure both david and joe would vote for her, no questions asked
d_ranf
so that'd 3/6 and you break the tie
d_ranf
but we should easily be able to get the others on board too
jamesrhinebb
Yeah, of course
jamesrhinebb
She is heavily trying to get me to backdoor you
d_ranf
oh geez, like why me specifically? lol
d_ranf
david lied to her last round too
d_ranf
joe WAS her target before
jamesrhinebb
Yeah but you initiated things, so she's pissed haha
d_ranf
it's completely revenge i think
jamesrhinebb
She still has no idea at all that I'm aligned with you lol
d_ranf
lol
d_ranf
i had nothing against her
d_ranf
but clearly, she's a vengeful bitch
jamesrhinebb
Haha yeah
d_ranf
she acted like she would have voted with majority to take out keesha if i had told her
d_ranf
she was like, "thanks for telling me the plan"
d_ranf
and i was like, why would i tell you that we're voting out your ally? she was like, if there was no choice i would have
jamesrhinebb
She's been played so much in this game haha
d_ranf
when she came to me, she was like, I have 2 people i am torn between voting (i didnt even have to ask to know that it was you/drew)
d_ranf
so i said the same thing, pretending i was between you/keesha, bc i knew drew was already getting a vote
d_ranf
so like, why does she think im stupid enough to assume she would vote for the 1 person she didnt want to see leave
jamesrhinebb
Lol you don't need to explain to me...I get it
jamesrhinebb
Rachel is just loves vendettas I guess lol
d_ranf
haha i guess i am just explaining it to make sure im not the idiot here
d_ranf
like, idek, but i SINCERELY appreciate your friendship/allegiance in this game
d_ranf
this week has really showed me where my friends are, and you know i have your back in this thing
jamesrhinebb
Yeah, I apprish right back at ya ;-)
d_ranf
i mean, i was panicking last week, with the way that the international points went down
d_ranf
didnt know what to expect =/
jamesrhinebb
Sorry, I'm not saying much, I'm watching last night's BB at the same time LOL
d_ranf
its ok man
jamesrhinebb
Now you just gotta get HoH next week and finish the job haha
d_ranf
for real! hoh hasn't been my strong suit
d_ranf
i did better in the 2 povs i participated in
d_ranf
which, speaking of povs, i swear david bribed random.org
d_ranf
he has been picked 3 times to my 0
jamesrhinebb
LOL yeah that guy like always gets picked
jamesrhinebb
I've never been picked...other than the 2 times I automatically got to play
d_ranf
yeah, i got to play when joe picked me, and then the week everyone did
d_ranf
so we're in the same boat!
jamesrhinebb
I've always hated the whole only 6 ppl play in veto thing
jamesrhinebb
Never understood it
d_ranf
it can really suck if you're outgoing hoh and then dont get picked
d_ranf
bc you didnt have a chance to win a single comp that week
d_ranf
but i guess that's why the game isn't just who wins the most comps
d_ranf
gotta be social too
jamesrhinebb
Did Bb say why only 6 ppl get to play on the show?
d_ranf
not that i know of
d_ranf
i mean, i guess at the same time, it increases the chance that the pov is used to shake things up
d_ranf
bc MOST of the time, the only ppl who would use the pov are the nominees (that's obviously a generalization)
jamesrhinebb
Yeah, that makes sense
d_ranf
so with less random people playing, the pov is used more, which promotes more entertainment factor?
jamesrhinebb
You're so smart
d_ranf
boo yah! lol i gots my college degree in smartness
jamesrhinebb
It's what everyone dreams of...
d_ranf
lol
d_ranf
more accurately, i'm just a nerd, and these are the things i rationalize in my spare time
jamesrhinebb
But yeah, I don't think we have to worry about the vote at all this week
jamesrhinebb
Unless something wacky just happens
jamesrhinebb
Imma post my veto ceremony later tonight because Rachel thinks I'm talking to ppl about getting voes to backdoor you LOL
d_ranf
yeah, who knows what COULD be floating around (Special powers)..... i hate to even think that it could fuck up a perfect week for us
d_ranf
lol you're evil
jamesrhinebb
I had to say it so she would shut up
jamesrhinebb
She just rambles on and on
jamesrhinebb
I get restless lol
d_ranf
lol
jamesrhinebb
Why can't she be more like Dani hahah
d_ranf
omg, i finally talked to her yesterday for like the first time in a week
d_ranf
we talked about thongs for like 5 min, and she signed off -__-
jamesrhinebb
Bahahhaa
jamesrhinebb
Riveting material right there
d_ranf
haha ikr
d_ranf
hey i gotta go, but i will be back later if you're still here... if not, catch you this evening!

jamesrhinebb
Likely in the evening
jamesrhinebb
And alright haha
d_ranf
lol later james
jamesrhinebb
Later

Click convo above! ^^^

Rachel are you REALLY that threatened by me that you're trying this hard to get me backdoored? I mean, yeah, I know I compromised my trust in your eyes, but this just seems extreme. But damn, if James is playing me, that would be one giant slap in the face. I'm 99.9% sure I can trust him to follow through on keeping Rachel on the block, so why do I let that .1% paranoia worry me. Ugh.

Oh, and calling Rachel a vengeful bitch was COMPLETELY just me trying to earn some sympathy from James. Lol. I don't actually think Rachel is a bitch. I know she's just playing the game, but hunny, make sure you're not selling me out to my newfound alliance. =X

A Lesson From Dom

This week, Dominic teaches you why you need to be careful who you throw under the bus.[/color]

1. Throwing people under the bus is a risky move. If you're going to do it, you either need to a) expect the person to find out, or b) just tell them yourself.

2. There is the potential that it will backfire. You never know who is aligned with who, so you better be damn sure that it's your last resort or that it's actually going to work.

3. You look desperate. Ok, so maybe you are desperate, but get that shit together. Nobody wants a desperate ally.




Yeah, I really hope this doesn't come back to bite me. But really, this lesson is for Rachel, who thought it would be wise to campaign against me behind my back. If you're going to throw people under the bus, make sure they're not the one driving the bus.

^^ Ooo, that sounded cocky. I promise I'm not really that cocky. Just seemed like a witty thing to say. =X

... I'm so gonna get blindsided.

Tune in next time for "A Lesson From Dom."[/b]

[Dominic Briones]

Yayyy! James isn't a liar. Lol.

I know, it's probably boring for you guys since things are getting predictable, but I wanna winnnnn. So I am happy that this week was predictable. Lol.

Rachel should be going home. I'm not sure how she wouldn't. Chima asked me for my vote, which, DUH, I am gonna make sure I act all nice and "of course" blah blah blah. However, I'm sure she's smart and sees right through it. Oh well. But she did say she has 4 votes to stay, though I wouldn't be surprised if she gets all 6 to stay. But we'll see.

Sorry Rachel. I can say I honestly would have considered keeping Rachel over Chima this round had Rachel not went SOOOO hardcore after me, trying to get James to nominate me against David and then put me up as a backdoor option. I see Chima and Rachel as being equally threatening, but with Rachel going hardcore against me, you betta believe I am gonna vote her ass out that door.

Chima... you're next!
I don't wanna jinx it and have her winning HoH.

[Dominic Briones]

So after a few days hiatus, HoH happens. I knew I had no chance at the BB trivia, since I've only watched like 4 seasons. However, I knew that my answers for the TV, music, and movies section was pretty quick, meaning that I could have squeaked out a win. Then, when the speed wasn't even a factor, that pretty much took me out of the running.

Normally, I would have been upset, but how can I complain when Joe wins HoH.

I feel like there is a 0% chance that Joe will nominate me. We solidified things last round, and he even told me I am his absolute number 1 ally. Do I believe this? Yeah, I do. And then, to top it all off, I find out who Joe actually is. He's played in Starz before, and I know he's a trustworthy guy. I'm really glad though that I was aligned with him before finding out who he was. And also glad that he's not one of my ORG best friends, because I'm happy to get to work with him, knowing that he's a nice guy, but not really being all that close with him prior to this.

But anyyyways, I feel like he will 100% target the ladies, which means that, avoiding Chima winning the PoV should mean that she's gone next. Then again, Daniele did score better in the HoH. So many hidden challenge threats. I'm starting to feel I may never win an HoH.

We will see what happens, but I'm not going to cause many waves this week. I think Joe and I are on the same page, so it should all work out for the best with either of the girls leaving.

[Dominic Briones]

Also, if I don't get picked for PoV, I might cry. You don't want to see me cry, do you?

*offers a lap dance to whoever will rig random.org in my favor*

[Kat]

I want to see you cry because it's my fetish jk

[Dominic Briones]

BOOM! Officially one of the only 2 not to have seen the nomination chair. *storage room celebration with David*

Joe wants Dani gone over Chima? Uhhhh. No. Chima seems like much more of a threat. Plus, I have random talks with Dani and feel like I would be safer if she won HoH than Chima. Just my gut instinct though. I know James wants Chima gone as well, and I think I could convince David of the same. So yeah, Chima is still the target in my eyes, regardless of what Joe says.

I'm such a bitch sometimes. But we will see how the week goes. PoV could still be a factor.

[Dominic Briones]

So I do NOT expect to win that PoV. Lolz. The first image didn't even load in my 25 seconds so I guessed a COMPLETELY random number. Turns out I was at least in the right ballpark... kinda?

However, for the ones I could see the image, I didn't do much better. Oh well. At least this wasn't a PoV I needed, but I promise I didn't throw it. I guess anything could happen though. Maybe everyone else sucks just as badly as I do. Doubtful. I just hope Chima doesn't win. If she does, Joe is putting up Drew. I still feel like we could get Daniele out easily. Drew needs to sign the fuck online though because if the PoV is used, I don't want the girls pushing for Drew to leave and having someone like Jason or even James going with it and causing David and I to lose Drew. We already had to push for him to stay once, and he needs to stop seeming so expendable to others or else he could be in trouble. I just want him around for a vote in my corner. =X

[Dominic Briones]

Eeehhhhh. so some shiz went down, and it's not shiz that I am happy about. David proposed a 4-some alliance of me, him, James, and Drew moving forward. I do NOT want to take James to the end over Joe at this point. David and James are tight. That is not good with me. I have Joe MUCH more than I have James in my back pocket. But, I smiled, agreed, and told James that "yes, of course Joe is a big threat," when really, it's James that I will need to take out before Joe if I am to do my best to secure a spot in the finals. Nothing personal James, but I can sense that David is way closer to you than I am, which isn't good for me.

So... here's the plan. I sit on this information for now. If all goes well, Chima or Dani leave this week with the other following behind. HOWEVER, next week could prove to be interesting. Depending on who wins HoH/PoV, guys will hit the block no matter what, but it's a matter of WHO those guys are. I wouldn't be opposed to either Jason or even James (eek, I know) leaving next week. I am not sold on the idea completely, but it's crossed my mind. I also need to figure out when/how to tell Joe that Jason/David want him out either 5th or 6th, yet convince Joe to keep it a secret. If he goes blowing up on them, they will know I am playing both "sides" of that front. I really want to win HoH next week so that I can nom either Dani/Chima alongside Jason, and then pray that PoV isn't used. Because, moving forward, I don't want to be the one who nominates James or Joe, regardless of which one goes home first.

Ideally, Chima goes home now. I win HoH next week and send Dani (or even Jason out the door). Then, at final 6, Joe wins and takes out either James or the person left out of Dani/Chima/Jason (but this would be the week Joe would need to secure a better spot by taking out James. Then, at final 5 we have me, David, Drew Joe and Jason/Dani (since I'd like to see James go that week). Final 4 would drop down to Me, David, Joe, Drew. I'd rather take Drew out at final 4, because I would be certain that David and Joe would each take me to the final 2, where as Drew would likely take David over me.

Lolol, so that's my long thought out plan. Let's watch and see if even 5% of it works. But hey, it doens't hurt to have a plan, right?

List of who I trust (strongest to weakest)
David/Joe (really, they are a tie)
James
Drew
Chima
Jason/Dani

The only reason Chima needs to leave over Dani/Jason is because she's a potential threat. I like her as a person, but think she could be tougher to take out later. As for Joe/David, they are both right up there. David has been my number 1 the whole time, but I really think he's a tough player, and need to have a backup plan just in case. I would HATE to have to choose between David/Joe at the final 3, but let's be honest, the chance of us actually getting to the final 3 together is very slim. Odds are I will have to turn on one of them earlier than that by either voting for them or vetoing one over other. Who knows. Guess Rachel will be happy to see me get some more blood on my hands. =/

[Dominic Briones]

Ohhhhhh lulz. Well I honestly was shocked to see that I won the PoV. It figures I'll win now when my life isn't on the line, and then when I need to win, I won't be able to pull one out. -___-

But regardless, it's nice to know that I am 100% safe and that another girl will be leaving this week. I know it's the boring thing to do, but there is honestly no reason for me to use this PoV. Chima has 1 foot out the door, and Dani's social game is atrocious. Even if I took the information to Joe that David/James want him out sooner than later, we would be a vote short of taking out James (I could get my vote and the vote of Chima if I saved her, but would then need to secure either Drew or Jason, and neither of them would be locks). Plus, that is a HUGE shake up of the game, and quite honestly, I'm not in a position where I NEED a huge shakeup. Yes, I need to come up with a plan to keep Joe longer than James, but this is NOT the time. Doing something drastic now would just be unnecessary, even if it would make things more interesting.

I like my spot in the game, and with Chima leaving, I'm one step closer to getting to the finals. And yay, another win for my resume. David may have me on the social game, but he's not got a single win yet. And yes, I know winning isn't everything, and getting to the end without wins shows a strong game as well, but my wins were NOT necessary, so that just shows that, while winning (and potentially putting a target on myself) I didn't HAVE to win but still did. Idk. Just me justifying why I'd deserve a win over David in the end. Lol.

One step at a time, Dom. One step at a time.

So yeah, if it wasn't clear, I will not be using the PoV. Sorry for the staff since it's been a boring show, I'm sure, but please don't hate me! I'm here to win. <3
