Week 7- Hunger Strike

[James Rhine]

If I get slop again, I'll have just as much DR action this week as I had last week... none.

But Enzo won HoH. I'm trying to chirp in Kristen's ear and it sounds like she's still convinced the 5 are me, her, casey, brian and enzo. Though now, Brian, Casey and I have another 5 person deal replacing Kristen and Enzo with Amy and Justin. And if Kristen trusts me, she'll hopefully protect me to Enzo, and hopefully her words will mean something to Enzo and Enzo won't nominate me and Brian!

But I'm already talking to Kristen about how Justin should get nominated. I mean, Enzo did come to me while I was HoH saying how I should backdoor Justin. So it makes me think he'll be a traget of Enzo's, but who knows.

Enzo sent me this pm:

Just wanted to say that Im sorry for not being around at the same time you were to discuss things. I did talk to Brian prior to the noms though and Casey a bit, but I didnt decided on nominating him until later. Anyways, I hope you arent too shocked at the noms. I did want to prove myself to you guys and "pull my own weight". Even though I nominated Casey, I feel like my intentions were clear and being loyal to you and our alliance is paramount for me. I just felt it was the best decision to make.

I'll chat with you tomorrow I'm sure. Take it easy dude.

I responded with this pm:

I really appreciate it Enzo. And I think, as a logical person myself, that you made smart nominations to ensure Justin to leave. And you nominating Casey could help in the sense that it would be shocking you two are actually aligned with each other. All we have to work on now is to make sure Casey's on the same page with us, because I do think Justin was in the way of making our 5some work.

I'll try talking to him later, because I do think you have good intentions with your nominations. Again, thanks for the pm and I'll talk to you soon!

I'm glad Enzo took the initiative to pm me, b/c I was beginning t get concerned if I meant anything alliance-wise to him. I didn't want to initiate any conversation with him yet, but it looks pretty good from what his pm had to say.

And, I kind of love Enzo's nominations. Now it won't look shady if I vote out Justin, because both Casey and Justin are in "The Fun House" with me. He should know that I'm more closer to Casey anyway. And I'm sure Casey will have the votes to stay. If I'm a backdoor option for Enzo, that would be WEIRD. But right now, I don't plan on winning veto. I'm pretty confident in me and Brian surviving this week.

And now I'm really on slop. Goodbye DR

[James Rhine]

I want you to notice how people that are leaving are the ones who didn't vote me to come back in (Jen, Britney, soon to be Justin). I'll go after Amy next. Looks like this house is slowly becoming James R.'s house.

I am very pleased with the veto penalties results. As long as Brian and I avoid the post veto nomination, we are fucking solid for final 6. And once we find out the post veto nom, we will decide what course of action to take. Who should be evicted at 8th or 7th place. I'm still a little concerned that Enzo will nominate me, but we'll see if he'll naively protect my ass.
