James's Confessionals

[James Rhine]

ROUND 4


What a whirl wind of events!! Lori leaves and we play an International HoH in which we had to give points to our fellow houseguests with the top 4 being nominated. I was thinking things would be smoothly and the girls would be nominated. However, Keesha was the only girl to get nominated! Cray cray. The other 3 nominees are Joe, Drew.......and me. Definitely was not expecting that. I don't wanna get into the math of it all because it's so boring that it reminds me of my own death, but pretty much a guy HAD to have given points to other guys.

I got the most points out of the guys so that is quite alarming to say the least. It's crazy how you can go from a position in which are are so comfortable to being on the block and doubting your alliance. The winner of the POV HAS to take someone off so that's good news for the nominees......but if Keesha gets taken off, then I will be concerned for damn sure. The veto was pretty hard lol. I'm not sure I have was quick enough. I don't do all that well under pressure. I asked David and Dominic what they would do if they won the veto and they both said that they would save whoever would want Keesha out. Great answer. Now is the time I start to get pretty paranoid. I have been throwing most challenges so far and when that backfires, it isn't the greatest of feelings.

I'm just hoping that the people who are GREAT at puzzles, suck ass in the maze and word search, because puzzles are my weak point. At this point, I'm just going to be paranoid as hell, talk to as many people as possible, and hope that the veto is used to save me

[James Rhine]

Well I didn't win the veto....that maze was so damn small and long lol. Joe won and he managed to get first in every stage which is very alarming. He is clearly good at these competitions...no wonder Rachel wants him out so bad.

So at this point, Drew, Keesha and myself are on the block and one of us will go home. The plan better still be to get rid of Keesha and I think she knows that she is leaving too because she did receive like a million points. The guys alliance really has to come through here. If they do wanna blindside someone, betta be Drew lol. I will be paranoid though because thinking you are totally safe is just a bad way to go about this game.

If I do leave, then I leave, I'll accept that. But the guys alliance really needs to get rid of Keesha at this point. My plan is to just talk to as many people as possible and try to feel out what they're thinking. I don't wanna say that I'm confident I am safe because you never know

[James Rhine]

So there's been some chit chat going in in the BB house about the upcoming vote. It seems like I am for sure staying in the house and that no one may even cast a vote to evict me. That's pretty reassuring considering I didn't expect to be nominated. I did think that Keesha would go for sure, but now some people are targeting Drew. She it ain't me, but I'm in an alliance with Drew, I need him here for the numbers.

At this point, it seems like David and Dominic are for sure voting to evict Keesha. They say Joe is on board, but I haven't spoken to him yet. They say Jason told them that he is also on board. That's majority, wicked cool- bye bye Keesha. Umm how about no? Dani straight out told me that she is voting for Drew to leave. When I talked to Jason, he said that he wants DREW gone, and then started waffling between Drew and Keesha when I told him I thought most people wanted Keesha gone.

Chima doesn't really seem to be in the loop as of right now, but I'm sure she would be convinced to vote out Drew. Rachel is voting out Drew and is trying to convince David and Jason to do the same, as if Keesha. It's crazy, this game....Jason is the swing vote!! I shouldn't really be this concerned about the vote considering it seems like I am totally safe, however, Drew is part of my alliance. If someone in my own alliance votes to evict another alliance member....uhh, that ain't good news.

Jason is definitely playing both sides, it's so annoying. He probably thinks he's being so coy and sly and everything when he's not. Rachel told me that she gave her points to Joe and Jason for the HoH comp....this is valuable information. David and I spent a large chunk of time trying to get Jason to vote out Keesha. We don't the girls to get any more numbers at this point. It's imperative that the guys stay intact.

Jason doesn't seem to understand how dumb it is for his game to get rid of Drew and keep Keesha. Rachel and Keesha are super tight and they want Joe gone. Who's Joe's supposed right hand guy? Jason. This has been planted in his head and by the end of the convo, he started complaining about Keesha and Rachel which is a good sign. However, I'm not sure at all if he would keep Drew because he's such a wild card. I wouldn't be surprised if he was the one who gave Drew and myself points in the HoH comp. He told me that he expected anyone BUT me to be nominated. Umm okay, a bit too much overcompensation there, Jason. Floater in the making, that's for sure

[James Rhine]

So in order to keep myself AND Drew safe, a plan has been set in place. Dom and David talked to Rachel and Chima bout voting me out in order to split the votes. Dom apparently (kindly) threatened Chima that him and David voting me along with Rachel and Chima would be the only way to safe Keesha and it seem slike she bought it.

I'm all for Keesha leaving, but this is a huge risk. I trust Dom and David the most out of everyone so this better pay off. At least I have reason to go after Chima and Rachel now in the future. Jason better stick with Keesha. I talked with Chima and she pretty much lied big time, just digging a deeper hole for herself.

Oh and also, PRODUCTION: apparently Chima got to participate in the "International HoH". That's pretty lame. She shouldn't get to compete in the next HoH. K cool, thanks

[Shir]

HOUSEGUEST: thank you for the suggestion

[James Rhine]

ROUND 5


Thankfully I'm here to stay!! Guess the whole vote splitting plan wasn't needed cause Jason ended up voting Keesha anyways. Rachel did admit to me that she voted to evict me which I appreciate it and then she starting making excuses about how she isn't in the loop and crap like that. Whatevs. Chima completely ignores me when I message her on aim so whatevs on that too. Alrighty, time to get this endurance HoH on the road. I plan on going for a LONG time since my classes are over and I got nothing to do. It would suck if I went for a long time and then someone beat me lol. Thankfully I got feeds, food, and shows to keep me busy so it wouldn't be a completely waste of time. But if someone does beat me hopefully it aint Rachel cause if it is then well

So...umm...I won HoH

[James Rhine]

So glad to have won the power this week! First male HoH, bout damn time! I do think that I didn't really need to win the HoH, but I also didn't want my alliance to be in jeopardy should Rachel have won. It's a pretty good feeling to have people come up to you and start sucking up big time. It's easy to tell who's being fake and who is genuinely happy. Rachel and Chima are really nervous about being nominated and they should be because that's likely what I'm going to do. Rachel was honest with me about her vote last which I appreciate, however, she did still vote for me which means that in the long run, she doesn't really care for me. Chima just continues to lie, lie, lie! I gave her plenty of opportunities to be honest with me but she kept on saying she voted for Drew. Finally, when I told her that everyone thinks Dani kept me, she confessed to voting me. All of a sudden, I saw a different Chima, she was being so forward and trying to justify her actions. Whatevs.

Rachel and Chima is honestly the best option for me, because everyone is against them. This is a good week to be HoH, because I have legitimate reasons to go after them. It's easy because I'm pretty much doing the house a favour while still making a big move because those 3 are good competitors and threats in this game. I wouldn't feel like I wasted my HoH should one of them leave. I know the guys are thinking that I'm doing the work for them, which is fine by me, as long as they know that I'm protecting the brolliance (David keeps calling it that, what a lame name lol). David and Dom were shitting bricks over the possibility of Rachel winning. I trust those 2 the most, so they're pretty appreciative at this point.

My talks with Rachel almost always consist of the same thought: The fact that Rachel didn't get the memo on the game, she's out of the loop, she doesn't know what's going on, blah, blah, blah, etc, etc, etc. She always makes herself the victim which is damn annoying. She tried to strike up a deal with me and I told her I'd be open to it. She seems desperate at this point. She doesn't think that I am aligned with David and Dom which is great because I can get her thoughts on them. She is clearly pissed at them for lying to her which is good for me because it puts the target on their back while giving me legit reasons to come after her since she voted me. She also still hates Joe and Jason lol and I just relayed that info to them. So if Rachel survives, the target won't be on my head.

Chima just changed when she admitted to voting for me. She started talking in a more forward way, making deals and stuff. It's too late now, she's realized that she can't be fake anymore. Drew seems to want Chima out more than Rachel which is fine because he can go after her next week. Rachel is my target because she seems to be a better competitor and she is more active on aim than Chima. If one of the girls is saved, Dani is obviously the easiest way to go without making enemies. Great week to be HoH!

[Sara]

Congrats on your impressive win! What's going to happen for you in terms of game if all of the girls leave?

[James Rhine]

At this point, I am closest with David and Dominic and I do have a final 2 with David. Joe and Jason will be the early targets if we do get down to all final 6 guys. I can easily push Dom and David to the others too because ppl think that those two are a pair.

[James Rhine]

It's so funny how differently people act when their backs are against the wall. Not even 5 minutes after I posted my nominations, Rachel came running, being more forward with me that she ever has in the game. She kept blabbing about how David and Dom fooled her and how she's alone and that I should team up with her and backdoor one of them. I just agreed with her just so it would shut her up lol. Of course it would be foolish for my game to backdoor David or Dom at this point. Not only would I not have the votes, but the target on my back will become massive. So as of this moment, Rachel thinks I will convince Jason and Joe to vote out Dom after putting pulling Rachel off the block lol.

I agreed with her so she would be quiet and also because if she won the veto, I can just lie and say that Chima is my target because she constantly lies to me (to get out of the backdoor plan). Also Rachel would have bigger fish to fry than me next week. As for Chima, she's just gone back to her ignoring everyone mode. If I win the veto, I'll just say that I made a deal with David and Dom to keep them safe blah blah blah. I want Rachel gone. End of story.

[James Rhine]

This has been a great week for me in the Big Brother house! I won HoH AND POV which means that I have all the power this week! Clean sweep as many have called it. Immediately after results were posted, Rachel wasted no time in hassling me to make a decision in her favour. At least this time she's sure that things are looking bleak for her at this point, but that didn't stop her from not shutting up lol. She still wants me to backdoor one of David or Dom and I told her I would talk to others to see if the votes are there, which they obviously aren't.

It's pretty comical to me how Rachel still doesn't know that I am working with David and Dom or that there is a big guys' alliance in the game. Sure getting rid of one of the guys would be a big move in the game, but it is just WAY too early for that to happen and I would be setting myself up for failure in this game by keeping Rachel in the game and putting a big bullseye on myself. But Rachel herself is a big target so getting rid of her is not only a big move but it also gains favour with my fellow houseguests, so that is clearly the better move to make at this point. I finally told Rachel that the veto would not be used and she accepted the fact. She also said that if I make it to the end she would give me her vote. Umm sweet, ok!

Chima on the other hand thinks she is the target this week lol. To gain favour with her, I told her she is totally safe and that caused her to be more relaxed with me and she said that we could work a deal where she wouldn't target me should she win HoH. Sounds good to me!! Rachel should be leaving this week.

[James Rhine]

ROUND 6


Alrighty, Rachel left!!! And it feels great to be the one to do it! At this point I'm just hoping that a guy wins HoH to continue to the momentum.........and that's exactly what happened: Joe is the new HoH! I wish I was playing in the competition because it looked like fun. I'm awesome with BB trivia, just sayin'. Although it would have been more fun if it was live.

Checking results, I noticed that Chima and Dani were 2nd and 3rd respectively in the challenge and that made me sweat just a bit. Thankfully Joe came through for the guys. I was sure to let Joe know about Chima and Dani's placements just in case he was changing his mind on noms. Thankfully that wasn't the case as the two girls were put on the block. Chima is obviously the target this week so this week should be a relatively easy one.

There are two good things to come out of Joe's HoH reign: 1) It's an easy week getting out one of the guys, giving the guys more power than ever, and 2) The target on Joe is even bigger now that he won another competition. Once it's down to the guys, Joe will definitely be one of the first few targets given his challenge performance.

The only thing that alarms me is if one of the girls win the veto. That would mean that Joe would HAVE to nominate a guy for eviction. It will get very interesting to see what would happen. If Chima remains on the block then she will likely go home. However, if Chima wins the veto and it's a guy and Dani on the block, it will be very tempting to get rid of the guy since Dani is kind of useless.

We shall see....

ROUND 7


Ok, so I haven't been on much lately so sorry bout that but I had some finals to get through so yeah...

So Chima did in fact leave this week however the vote was much closer than I expected it to be. David, Dom and myself voted Chima out however Jason and Drew voted Dani. They can do whatever they want I don't really care but it is a bit alarming that that they wanted to keep Chima. Dani is the most useless player in the game so I don't understand why they would want to keep her. The fact that Jason continues to be so flippy floppy with us which kind of annoys me. Guess it's good cause it gives me reasons to nominate him in the future.

Alright so this next HoH competition is kind of elaborate so I don't expect many people to try very hard in it. I, however, will go balls to the walls once again as there is an endurance type of factor involved in it haha. Winning this week is important in my opinion because it guarantees that you play in the veto and then in the rest of the vetos for the rest of the game. I would be pissed if I wasn't HoH or nominated and I didn't get picked to play.

Talking to David and Dom, we are a strong threesome (that sounded wrong lol). We pulled in Drew and made a final 4 together so that's great news going forward. People think that David and Dominic are running the show and I'm totally fine with that. The good thing about it is that people don't think that I'm as involved with them as much as I am. I'm running things just as much as they are and the fact that people don't notice it makes me a stronger player....I hope lol. I've also been sure to let others know that David and Dom are running things so as to make their target bigger. However, I have been doing well in recent competitions so I guess it kinda evens out lol.

We talked about what we would do when Dani leaves and we agreed that Joe is the biggest threat because of his challenges beastliness. Put him up with Jason who is his assumed closest ally and bam, get rid of one of them. However, I would rather get rid of Joe BEFORE Dani. Dani is so not a threat, it's not even funny anymore. If I win HoH this week, which I plan to, I would likely target Joe. David and Dom would be all the votes I need as I would break the tie. Although it would probably be smarter to put up Dani and Jason and secretly plan to backdoor Joe

The problem with the above plan is that it would break up the "brolliance" before the last girl is evicted. Dani winning would be the best case scenario as I don't think she would target the trio as we voted for her to stay. My problem with the brolliance is that it's not really an alliance. It's more of a "let's get rid of the girls cause they're dangerous and sneaky" type of thing. I don't think anyone has even talked to Joe about the alliance like at all.....to this point, still no one has lol. Also, we haven't voted together for most votes. People are wishy washy. Also 3 guys went on the block because of some other guys. Some alliance. I could care less about it lol. I would hate it if I wasted my HoH on Dani of all people.

Storm's a comin'.

Lol, I like that ^ line. Bonus points for whoever knows who said that from Survivor

[/size][/color]

[James Rhine]

So I talked to a bunch of people, just going over scenarios about the week and they all want Dani out. Booooring. I ain't gonna win HoH just to take out the least threatening person. I'll let David win and maybe try to influence him in getting rid of Joe instead. Also I know that I'll be safe with him. Booyah
