Week 4- NOW the brains are in power

[James Rhine]

Strategy for the HoH comp? I had none (as always). But I was really impressed with the teamwork from the brains. They stuck together and honestly DESERVED that comp win. Kudos to them, and kudos to Amy for finally winning something! Respect-o-meter just went up a notch in my book.

So the thread I made in the living room, I kind of lost a bet to Enzo. He said the HoH comp would last 3 days, I said 5. Loser had to proclaim to be the biggest douchebag.

Damn. lol

[James Rhine]

Kristen and I made a pact to commit suicide together if Amy makes final 2.

Oh, but I'm glad Amy won something! She gained respect in my book. I ain't fiddinsta be nasty, she won fair and square and I hope she gets everything she wants out of this week. I just feel bad that this episode will be very AMY-driven :/

[James Rhine]

I don't understand how Kristen is manipulating me. Is it going to work? Yes, for now. Idk how much I can trust her, and I'll be damned if I'll be another sheep that she guides into the slaughterhouse. But it does seem like she's one of the only people looking out for me and campaigning for votes for me to stay.

[James Rhine]

I have to say I've enjoyed my time here. I haven't been that nasty at all, and I'm held myself to very high classy standards. I like Kristen a lot, we spoke with each other multiple times during my nomination. Brian is great, and I hope if he gets nominated next to me that I'll go. Britney is also a great person as well. This game usually brings out the worst in me, and I win. But now that it's bringing out the good in me, I'm satisfied with leaving, especially over Brian.

But if noms stay the same, I'll be here. But I have a feeling Jen will win it and veto Justin, sealing either Brian's or my fate.

[James Rhine]

Jen won veto! Kudos to her (she cheated). But getting second never felt so good. I'm leaving with my head held high, and I've made my rounds of goodbyes before I left.

In the big brother house, I was angry, conniving and sneaky. And here I thought I'd be no different. But as I type this message, genuinely from my heart, I realize that I've matured. And as I walk out those doors, I leave behind "The Rookie" that people have come to know me as. I grew up now, and it's time for me to leave as a true "Veteran" of this game

[James Rhine]

...and go get 'em Brian!
