Week 1- BS As we know it

[James Rhine]

RHINEMAN IS BACK

I'm here on business! Strategy now? Act like I ain't here to slit throats and shit. These naive fools...Though I'm being really stupid right now not taking advantage of AIM, need to get on that sooner than later.

Jason and Amanda pm'd me, they're really proactive. Of the two, I prefer Jason.

I love Jen, but Jen is an alliance whore. Gotta watch out for that.

Love Brian, can't wait to stomp these fools obviously.

Tried making up with Rachel, doubt that'll last long.

Michael ain't nobody, he's boring.

Kevin doesn't deserve to be here, I think I made that clear with the HoH comp.

Britney is crazy, and I kinda love her atm. But I refuse to whip my dick out for her.

Annie's from Puerto Rico. Interesting to say the least.

That's all that I really have atm. Will be back with the news LATER!

[James Rhine]

I think Kevin is pissed at me for going after him lol. But he should be grateful that I handed him the win by making my last move after Enzo. Casey and Justin followed suit, getting rid of Enzo, went after each other, which eventually secured Kevin the win.
I'm not thinking much of it now, but Kevin could be gunning for me. And with all his points, he might pressure others to nominate me if their team happens to win HoH. I mean, he also did confront me about putting him as my answer for EVERY negative question in the HoH comp. but how couldn't I? He really doesn't deserve to be here.

Jason keeps initiating conversations with me, and he's figuring out my life story. I'm creeped (jk!), but I definitely wanna work with him. He seems like good people, and a lot more real in his approach than exclamation point Amanda.

[James Rhine]

Well Kevin's nominated. If he's smart, he'll approach me to keep him in. I haven't heard much from Annie, so I'd be open to the idea. But Kevin probably assumes I wouldn't keep him. And if he doesn't initiate convo with me, his assumptions will be right.

[James Rhine]

Enzo won veto! I get second of course, and I think Enzo and I are dominant threats in the house that people have to take a double-look at (That was evident with the playful comment Justin said on the board, there's some truth to everything).

I like Jason, even though...

Jason Guy: What if I just fucked you and called it a night?
James R.: I'd feel raped and murdered
James R.: and then I'd start crying
Jason Guy: Is that a problem?
James R.: no, i'm fine
James R.: *rolls over*
James R.: *cries hysterically*

...he hits me. But in all honesty, I am clicking with him the most out of everyone. We have a lot of similarities, and I have to say I trust him.

I think Annie trusts me:

Annie Whittington: So um to show you how much I trust you.
Annie Whittington: I have something to show you
Annie Whittington: :-)
James R.: ooh!
James R.: how tantalizing
Annie Whittington: The first power of the season is mines.
James R.: really?
Annie Whittington: Found it last night.
James R.: WHAT?!
James R.: i cant believe that!!
Annie Whittington: - Half of Household -

This power grants its holder the ability to stop half of the houseguests from competing in HOH for a week. It can only be used once and can only be used up to and including the Final 7. You will let me know when you want to use it, but if 6 hours have past since the competition was posted then you cannot use this power that week. It will be announced that you are using it when you do (half means half of the houseguests left in the house will sit out, so if 14 are in the house, then the outgoing HOH plus 6 of your choosing. If 13 are in the house you will sit out 6 houseguests).

Julie putting up special powers already and shit. I think since annie has it, it's in good hands. I just hope she'll be here long enough to use it. That could help me just further my point lead on this team.

Teaming with Annie would be a risk, but in all honesty I like her more than Kevin. And that's what it boils down to, not this Kristen/Jen bullshit, it's not about them. But that's what they made this week out to be. They're not even in the In-Crowd. And I have strong feeling Annie is done for this week. I'm just wondering if I should possibly expose myself by voting to keep her. I mean, I do have reason to go after Kevin anyway, but people's votes linger in the minds of others. Kind of like a guilty by association type thing. I mean I made it apparent last season to vote with the majority each eviction round. It just makes sense to do that.

I don't like that she categorizes Jason with who she needs to go after. I hinted that Jason is impressionable, AKA I'm working with him. So if she does go after Kristen/Enzo/Jason, she may be targeting a group of people that aren't actually aligned. But it's really early on anyway, so idk where people stand. I told Annie not to leave all her eggs in one basket, b/c I think she limits who she talks to. But everytime we talk, I tell her to talk to other people. Annie and Enzo apparently have a rough past, so she doesn't want anything to do with people associated with him.

I mean, I wanna target Kristen and Enzo too. But, I can't since we're on teams together and I like going after less-invested people at the beginning of these things.

Kevin Campbell: I'm not sure if I'll survive :-( lol
Kevin Campbell: I really hope I do.. I was being 100% honest with you last time we talked
Kevin Campbell: i hope you were too about keeping me
James R.: i didnt say i was keeping you
James R.: i said my opinion about you was changing
Kevin Campbell: oh, i thought that meant you would keep me
Kevin Campbell: lol
James R.: :/ sorry for the confusion
Kevin Campbell: So you're voting me out?
Kevin Campbell: I'm on your side
Kevin Campbell: I'm not nominating you or coming after you at all
Kevin Campbell: the only person I want to go after is Jen
Kevin Campbell: She's making this game personal.. idk she just hates me and will do anything to get me out
Kevin Campbell: Unless you have a alliance with Jen I'm assuming you're voting me out
James R.: it's hard for me to believe stuff you say, kevin in all honesty
James R.: when you played will season 1
James R.: and you didnt vote with us season 5
Kevin Campbell: I didn't play Will
Kevin Campbell: but this season I'm playing different have you seen Annie is S7? she wasn't honest at all
Kevin Campbell: lol
Kevin Campbell: OK, but in Season 5 I told Janelle before that I was keeping her I went against Majority
Kevin Campbell: and this season Jen is making it personal
Kevin Campbell: but I'll give you my word to not come after you at all
Kevin Campbell: and you said yourself you want to see Competition Whore Kevin
James R.: but in season 5, you wouldve been the majority had james z voted correctly
James R.: try to remember
James R.: that week you voted janelle to stay
James R.: resulted in a tie vote
James R.: b/c james z didnt vote correctly
James R.: but they intended to keep janelle as well
James R.: had james z voted correctly
James R.: janelle wouldve remained
James R.: which couldve changed the entire outcome of the game
Kevin Campbell: right... so you think it was my doing to keep her?
Kevin Campbell: i didn't orcustrate that
James R.: that's what your vote means kevin
James R.: if someone asks you to vote with us
James R.: and you dont
James R.: it makes you untrustworthy
James R.: when you said you would
James R.: i dont hate you by any means
James R.: its just that is the first impression i have on you
Kevin Campbell: Alright, so you don't wanna give me that chance this season? it's a new season I'm playing differently as you saw
Kevin Campbell: I'm doing better in competitions I'm not lying when I say I have your back
James R.: had you not been the first nominated, we may have time for that impression to change
James R.: but being nom'd first week didnt help your case in my book
James R.: but i do see your cmpetitive nature
James R.: and i LOVE that
Kevin Campbell: So you don't want to gang a ally?
Kevin Campbell: I will have your back in this game, You won't be nominated by me and you'll be safe with me.. I know my past is my past but this is the present and let's work towards the future
Kevin Campbell: help me to help you
James R.: alright i hear ya kevin
James R.: but don't count on my vote
James R.: i dont want you to misinterpret us talking for me voting for you to stay
James R.: i heard your case and will think about it
James R.: thanks for talking to me!
Kevin Campbell: I'm being 100% truthful with you and I have no reason to lie, hopefully we can build up a friendship and not based on BBR5 actions

*James R. walks to the Diary Room*



James R.: I vote to evict Kevin.

*James R. walks to the backyard. Sits next to Justin*

Justin Sebik: are you keeping Annie?
James R.: of course i'm keeping annie!
Justin Sebik: excellent!
Justin Sebik: dude we need to seriously stick together in this KFC thing
Justin Sebik: on one hand I know Annie from last season
Justin Sebik: on the other hand Annie and Jen are super tight
Justin Sebik: like they are tighter with each other than me
Justin Sebik: but we should look out for each other
Justin Sebik: well basically you know about Annie's power?
Justin Sebik: I think you do
James R.: yeah
Justin Sebik: Jen found it in the HOH room
Justin Sebik: I was online all day
Justin Sebik: Annie finds out about it
Justin Sebik: it probably takes some time to find
Justin Sebik: maybe hours
Justin Sebik: I get informed once Annie already has it
Justin Sebik: and either one of them could have told me about it at any point prior to help me look for it
Justin Sebik: so I was like "ok that's not too bad but I should pay attention to that"
James R.: oh yeah i definitely see your point
James R.: jen told annie about it
James R.: meaning them 2 are solid
James R.: you find out 3rd
James R.: i find out next?
James R.: lol
James R.: our rankings in this alliance
Justin Sebik: yeah that's how I see it
Justin Sebik: and I could totally see a conversation occuring between them which goes
Justin Sebik: Annie: Justin thinks I'm his f2 but you are actually my f2 Jen but we have to take him pretty far because I know he'll be loyal
Justin Sebik: or something like that
Justin Sebik: which is fine for me right now even if that's the case
James R.: yeah since its really early
Justin Sebik: brb food
Justin Sebik: but basically I just think we need to stick together because I think it's that pair and maybe us a pair?
Justin Sebik: and that'd feel balanced to me
Justin Sebik: but yeah brb
Justin Sebik: ok back
James R.: i like that idea that we'll look out for each other
James R.: b/c i do see those two clicking
James R.: i thought itwas pretty evident as a pw your season
James R.: jen would comment to annie in her dr
James R.: and theyd go back and forth
Justin Sebik: yeah exactly
Justin Sebik: Jen came to my DR too a bit but it was a bit more just bullshit
James R.: lol
James R.: she loved you
James R.: /she picked you to win
James R.: she loves being right
Justin Sebik: yeah I know that
Justin Sebik: lol!
Justin Sebik: I do appreciate her love, but she has a history with Annie I think
Justin Sebik: but yeah me point that out is in no way to say that I have negative feelings towards Annie or Jen
Justin Sebik: I see me and you sticking with them for a long time
James R.: no i dont see that in your point at al
James R.: but yeah i know what you mean
James R.: we have to look out for ourselves as well

I got a new ally in Justin in this Kristen's Fan Club alliance. I think I feel this alliance becoming a little more concrete. Up until this point, Justin hasn't really been one to initiate conversation or anything. But he did most the talking here, and whatever he was trying to sell, I bought. Well, at least for now. I won't forget how he's charming enough in season 7 to convince Jason to vote out Mike over him. But he'll definitely be a good ally for now.
