Week 8- FF Week (FUCKITY FUCK)

[James Rhine]

My pm to Casey:

I know you want Kristen gone, but check out what's on my plate:

Enzo and Kristen under the impression of our 5.

Amy and Rachel who are NOT on me and Brian's side.

You wanting Kristen gone (making Enzo an enemy and losing an ally in Kristen), your opinion which I take VERY seriously

Amy not wanting to vote out Kristen, yet Kristen isn't in our 5? (Of me, you, brian, justin, and Amy).

This is how I think it should go down (this is reminding me of the britney's eviction in starz, where you didn't want it to happen but it worked out later):

Instead of playing for a final 5, I'm actually playing for a final 4: Me, you, brian, and justin.

Amy or Rachel leave this week (so clearly Amy).

At the point of final 7, you, Justin, Brian and I team up to get rid of Enzo/Kristen/Rachel.

Why it's scary to do get rid of Kristen now is that we'll be playing down a man (you can't compete in hoh, and justin can't compete period) against them next week. Plus Kristen and Enzo will be auto-noms anyway, so one of them WILL be nominated post-veto. It's just one round TOO EARLY to go after Kristen, when we still have wildcards like Amy and Rachel to be concerned about. Plus can you imagine if we get rid of kristen now, and rachel wins veto next week and vetoes enzo again? One of us would be going up against Justin, and after voting out Kristen, Enzo and Rachel would vote out the replacement nom.

IF Amy leaves this week, you'll have:

An ally in me, Brian, and Justin.
Kristen and Enzo working towards me, you, and Brian making final 5.
Rachel doing her own thing

IF Kristen leaves this week, you'll have:

An ally in me, Brian, and Justin.
Enzo working against you and Justin.
Amy and Rachel doing their own thing.

It just seems like the first option a lot of people are working for us, and in the second option we make enemies and make the game ugly. I am struggling to keep amy over kristen. I mean think about it, Amy was HoH at my eviction. If she chose to nominate me and Brian over 9 other people, I'm entitled to have my concerns about her.

Also, Enzo sent me a pm saying he's willing to vote Amy this week, and that he's waiting for my response. I'm gonna tell him yes so I won't leave him hanging. But Casey, I just want to vote for Amy. I think you'll still have me, Brian, Enzo, Kristen, and Justin at the end of this round, and we can easily go after Kristen or Enzo next week. But I really feel that Rachel and Amy are not dependable allies for us to count on later. Amy didn't want to vote out Kristen this week and Rachel vetoed Enzo. Hmmm... both catering to people outside the fun house.

And you know I won't let Kristen or Enzo fuck you over for anything. And I believe them when I hear them say they want "our 5" to work. I just think it's one round too early to go after them to make more enemies on top of the wildcards in amy and rachel.

I'm so sorry Casey, I know you're screaming at me right now. But I really don't think your game will be fucked if you play it right. Keep talking to Enzo and Kristen like we're the 5, but really me, you, brian, and justin are the 4.

I hope you trust that my history of strategical gameplay are for moments like these. And you know how I'm a firm believer of timing. It's pretty much the wrong time to get Kristen out right now. Next week looks way more promising.

Much love,

James

So I decided to go along with Casey's wishes and vote out Kristen because:

1) I want to burn bridges with all of my allies.
2) Rachel and Amy really do deserve to make final 2.

No but really, I've been playing to benefit Brian and Casey's game since the beginning. And if Casey's emotional ass is gonna tell me he's not gonna work with me if I vote out Kristen, then I HAVE to vote out Kristen. Also, Enzo attacking me about how I'm gonna vote was a turn off. He just kept throwing Casey under the bus and I wasn't biting. And it was the fact that Casey got exposed that ultimately made me seal Kristen's fate.

But why did I have to lie to everyone? Because I felt like it. It's a game, get over it. If you thought all-stars was all about kum-ba-yahs and "everyone deserves to make it far", then you tripping. We all played this game before.

Ok so I was kinda lying, because voting out Kristen was a last minute decision, and I didn't feel like correcting all of my stories with everyone. Even when I told Amy I was voting her out, I actually WAS voting her out. But then I talked to Casey afterwards which made me change my mind. Plus, I thought it would be funny to let Amy think she was leaving when she really wasn't.

Fuck it all! Me, Brian, and Casey are all I care about. Peace out

Though, I really liked Kristen too. And I'm mad I was forced into voting out someone who voted me back in the house over 2 (TWO!) other individuals who didn't. UGH, it's really frustrating having allies like Brian and Casey. But I consider them family, and I'm an extremely loyal player, so no matter what decision they make, and how stupid it sounds, I'm going to support them. But Casey will soon see why he made a mistake, when all three of us chill with Amanda and Kristen in the jury house.
