My Housemates/Alliances

[James Rhine]

I will, from time to time, post my thoughts and feelings about my housemates here. So I'll begin now.

First, a legend:
People I talk to often, and am most loyal to.
People I feel I'm on good terms with, but don't talk with as much as I'd like
People I rarely speak with, or don't trust very much


Drew - roomie, he called me Jovial James in his first PM. And I replied calling him Dashing Drew. So perhaps at some point, we could see the Dasher and Jovi alliance come to fruition.
David - roomie, seems nice enough, could be part of a bedroom alliance.
Danielle - roomie, seems really nice, almost too nice. But seems genuine.
Sarah - I think we're officially aligned, but we haven't spoken a lot since. I plan to stay loyal, hope she does as well.
Roddy - roomie, seems like a fun-loving guy. Could prove to be quite popular, probably a good idea to align with him quickly.
Amy - I've affectionately been calling her cheesehead, to hopefully help us bond. She seems quite active and would make a good ally.
Holly - a little bit of playful flirting never hurt anyone in the game of Big Brother

Janelle - since I'd love to see a BB6 alliance, I should stay on good terms with her.
Rachel - since I'd love to see a BB6 alliance, I should stay on good terms with her.
Erika - told her I loved her introduction, and that I'm a big Erika fan and that she was one of my choices. Hopefully that's a good enough reason for her not to want to see me go anytime soon.
Justin - we talked once before the game started, but someone I'd like to keep close for now as well
Nakomis - first person I spoke with before the game started, is very friendly.
Michelle - we discussed our mutual love of snacks after her choosing the Storage Room for her bedroom. I promised not to tell of her plans to sneak things when/if she's on slop.
Kaysar - since I'd love to see a BB6 alliance, I should stay on good terms with him.
Nathan - chatted a bit through PMs about his bedroom situation. Poor guy! Yeah, right! Also talked about the first competition. Nothing too heavy.


Will - can't even remember if we spoke, so mustn't have been anything vital. lol
Jee - talked once in AIM, something I didn't trust about him. Not sure what.
Jean - never spoken
George - seems nice, just haven't really gotten to know him yet.


These are just rather generic groupings since the game hasn't begun. Once the first competition is underway and we're well into things, perhaps we'll see people's true colours.

This convo belongs in here...this is so awesome, because I'd been secretly hoping for a ten person alliance...

[10:37] finerhine: I probably would not have lasted until almost 3am
[10:37] David: 5 hours long
[10:37] David: LOL
[10:37] finerhine: I'm very happy for you
[10:38] David:
[10:38] David: i was super pumped
[10:38] finerhine: You obviously wanted it...are you worried at all about nominations? or people possibly targetting you?
[10:38] David: i said i was going to get it
[10:38] finerhine: I know you did!
[10:39] David: well yeah i'm worried about getting targeted for being strong like that...but i can't really worry about it. the remaining 6 or 8 last night we kinda came to the decision that 2 inactives should go up.
[10:39] finerhine: oh good
[10:40] David: Janelle proposed an "alliance" with me and i said i'd think about it...but it owuld have to include you, drew, roddy, and dani for sure
[10:40] finerhine: what if Janelle wanted to include her whole bedroom?
[10:40] finerhine: haha
[10:40] finerhine: could you imagine that?
[10:40] David: LOL who is in here bedroom?
[10:40] David: cuz there were 4 names she gave me
[10:40] finerhine: Nathan
[10:40] finerhine: Erika
[10:41] finerhine: Sarah
[10:41] finerhine: and Holly I believe
[10:41] David: she said Nathan and Holly but also Amy
[10:41] finerhine: so Janelle gave you 4 names as in people she'd bring into this alliance?
[10:42] David: yeah i didn't give any
[10:42] finerhine: oh
[10:42] finerhine: you know what?
[10:42] finerhine: those 4 seem very active
[10:42] finerhine: and could be good to join up with
[10:42] David: i would agree
[10:42] finerhine: should we discuss this with our roommates at some point?
[10:43] finerhine: I won't say anything until you do
[10:43] David: i REALLY like our room...i know it's stupid to just say that but i really like all you guys and I am not going to do anything unless you all are safe with me
[10:43] finerhine: that's great to hear, David. You are awesome.
[10:43] finerhine: I actually don't mind Janelle
[10:43] finerhine: or the names she named
[10:44] finerhine: lol
[10:44] finerhine: so that is something to think about
[10:44] finerhine: so she basically she told you she was in a 4 way alliance?
[10:44] David: ok cool...well yeah we definitely need to talk to our roomies and figure out what they think...i mean at least in the beginning we need numbers to ensure we aren't picked off
[10:45] David: basicaly she said that yes
[10:45] finerhine: definitely
[10:45] David: and if i have 5 then we're good
[10:45] David: haha
[10:45] finerhine: suggest to her that you'd also like to bring some people into this alliance and see what she says
[10:45] finerhine: you don't even have to mention our names
[10:46] David: ok
[10:46] David: i think they trust me because i made amy fall
[10:46] David: then holly
[10:46] David: then jani
[10:46] David: then drew
[10:46] David: and gave nakomis my word she wasn't going up
[10:46] David: i said it would be dumb if i put up people that fought so hard
[10:47] David: i mean 5 hours!
[10:47] finerhine: yeah
[10:47] David: that was NUTS
[10:47] David: i mean i don't want to sound like i MADE them but i told them i wasn't going anywhere and they were all safe in my book
[10:47] finerhine: that was a good call
[10:47] finerhine: on your part
[10:47] finerhine: so you keep your word to them and you're good
[10:47] David: exactly
[10:48] finerhine: but yeah, I think a massive 10 person alliance would be so cool...but could also be tricky to keep on the DL
[10:48] finerhine: haha
[10:48] David: i agree
[10:48] David: we'll try and figure something out
[10:49] finerhine: ok
[10:49] David: i definitley want to talk to roddy, drew, and dani
[10:49] finerhine: for sure
[10:49] David: see where their heads are
[10:49] David: before i confirm anything to jani
[10:49] finerhine: excellent
[10:49] David: but i will bring up the possibility of aligning


I didn't want to push him but in my head I'm screaming, let's do this! This would be awesome! I'm already pretty tight with Janelle, Holly, and Amy. And talked with Nathan a bunch through PM. And then seperately I'd watch out for Sarah.

[James Rhine]

A week #2 ranking:

1. David
2. Holly
3. Janelle
4. Amy
5. Sarah
6. Drew
7. Roddy
8. Nakomis
9. Danielle
10. Nathan
11. Jordan
12. Justin
13. Michelle
14. Erika
15. George
16. Jee
17. Kaysar
18. Will

Michelle is higher up on the list, but I wouldn't hesitate to vote her out over Kaysar because then I wouldn't have to nominate her myself down the line.

[James Rhine]

Week 3 conversations:

[00:16] David: hey
[00:17] finerhine: hello!

[00:17] David: ok so...um...suck up to george!
[00:18] finerhine: really?
[00:18] finerhine: lol
[00:19] David: yes...apparently he wants to backdoor you if possible...now jani and nate and i were counting votes and we think you can stay but i don't want you in the line of fire if i can help it
[00:19] finerhine: how do you know this?
[00:20] David: nate and jani and i talked about it last night
[00:20] David: your name apparently got brought up to george and we dunno by who
[00:20] David: we think george is in with kaysar and jordan
[00:21] finerhine: so why me?
[00:21] David: who the fuck knows
[00:21] David: it's crap because there are inactives and you are like the most active behind jani
[00:21] David: it's crap
[00:22] finerhine: I'd say
[00:22] finerhine: well George is "away" at the moment
[00:22] David: but i'm lookin out for you and i wanted you to have a heads up...george isn't giving me anything
[00:22] David: i asked last night if the veto was used who would go up
[00:22] David: and he said "lets cross taht bridge when we get to it"
[00:22] David: i was like...bullshit
[00:23] finerhine: Does he realize how bad I suck at challenges? lol
[00:23] David: lol idk
[00:23] finerhine: so I'd be okay if I'm on the block with Roddy? But not with Nathan?
[00:24] David: roddy wouldn't come off...nathan would...so you would be just fine
[00:24] David: but we don't want to chance it
[00:24] David: nathan is fine with roddy
[00:24] David: either way roddy would go
[00:24] finerhine: I'm more than a little confused by this whole thing
[00:25] David: iwhich part?
[00:25] finerhine: all of it. lol me as the backdoor plan
[00:25] David: i know!
[00:25] David: talk to jani too about it
[00:25] David: cuz i was pissed when i found out
[00:25] finerhine: I will
[00:26] finerhine: I talked to Kaysar today
[00:26] finerhine: too
[00:26] finerhine: lol
[00:26] David: about what?
[00:26] finerhine: just about nothing
[00:26] finerhine: just because I saw him online
[00:27] David: oh cool
[00:27] finerhine: well he seemed cool
[00:27] finerhine: but if he's in on the plan to get rid of me...
[00:27] David: that's what we THINK
[00:27] finerhine: then maybe that was a good thing that I had a conversation with him
[00:27] David: we're not sure but we THINK so
[00:28] finerhine: who mentioned my name though?
[00:29] David: idk who mentioned it to george
[00:29] David: i heard from nate
[00:29] finerhine: and who did he hear it from?
[00:30] David: that i don't know
[00:30] finerhine: I'm asking him now...
[00:30] David: ok cool
[00:31] finerhine: nominations need to stay the way they are
[00:31] finerhine: and Janelle said she did horrible
[00:31] David: i know
[00:31] David: they need to stay
[00:31] David: then roddy goes
[00:33] finerhine: he said "a few people"
[00:34] finerhine: "that's just what's going around"
[00:34] David: this is such crap you have done NOTHING to anyone!
[00:34] finerhine: I know
[00:34] finerhine: ha ha
[00:34] finerhine: I thought that stripper girl liked me too
[00:34] David: ugh
[00:36] finerhine: this really sucks
[00:36] David: i know
[00:36] David: the least i can hope for is that we have the votes to keep you
[00:36] finerhine: really
[00:37] finerhine: or that nobody uses the veto
[00:37] finerhine: it doesn't even make sense to want me out of the game
[00:37] David: it really doesn't
[00:37] David: unless drew is in with george now
[00:38] finerhine: yeah
[00:38] David: i'm sorry but i haven't talked to drew at all since all this shit
[00:38] finerhine: could be
[00:38] David: and he knows who we are aligned with
[00:38] finerhine: I haven't much either
[00:38] David: idk i just don't trust him now
[00:39] finerhine: well how can we?
[00:39] David: i dunno
[00:39] David: we cant
[00:40] finerhine: I would hope that I would have the votes to stay
[00:41] finerhine: I really don't get it
[00:41] finerhine: lol
[00:41] finerhine: I wish George were online...
[00:41] David: you will but lets just hope the veto isn't used
[00:41] finerhine: yeah
[00:45] finerhine: now I'm going to worry about this until veto results are up...and then through the veto ceremony...and then through the eviction...
[00:45] finerhine: lol
[00:46] David:
[00:46] David: don't we'll work it out
[00:50] finerhine: I hope so
[00:50] David: we will hun

[00:11] finerhine: did you pick Danielle to play so you'd have a better chance of winning it yourself?
[00:13] Nathan: yeah lol
[00:13] Nathan: shh!
[00:13] finerhine: I figured that was the reason
[00:13] finerhine: lol
[00:21] Nathan: mhm haha
[00:21] finerhine: so...
[00:21] finerhine: do you think I'm the target this week?
[00:22] Nathan: i hope not
[00:22] finerhine: why is David telling me I am?
[00:22] Nathan: some rumors today have said you might be replacement =/
[00:23] finerhine: that doesn't make sense...
[00:25] Nathan: i know
[00:25] Nathan: it doesn't make sense he nominated me either!
[00:25] Nathan: i don't trust him
[00:26] finerhine: how does it even make sense for me to go this week?
[00:26] Nathan: it doesn't
[00:27] Nathan: i hope it's left the same and then i stay
[00:27] finerhine: yeah
[00:27] finerhine: so Janelle or someone else would have to win the veto and not use it
[00:28] Nathan: what do you mean?
[00:29] finerhine: so that things stay the way they are.
[00:29] finerhine: You would most certainly stay over Roddy
[00:29] Nathan: i think you would stay too?
[00:29] finerhine: who did you hear from that it would be me?
[00:30] finerhine: as the replacement
[00:32] finerhine: ?
[00:32] Nathan: a few people, that's just what is going around
[00:33] finerhine: well Janelle said she heard it from you and David...and David told me you said so...
[00:33] finerhine: so where did you hear it specifically?
[00:34] Nathan: they heard it from me first?
[00:34] finerhine: that's what they said
[00:34] Nathan: bring it up with jee
[00:34] finerhine: for real?
[00:35] Nathan: don't say I said anything
[00:35] Nathan:
[00:35] finerhine: I won't
[00:35] Nathan: just casually ask jee
[00:35] finerhine: ask him what?
[00:35] Nathan: like maybe bring up nominations then ask who he thinks replacement would be ro something?
[00:36] finerhine: ok
[00:36] finerhine: have you talked to him tonight?
[00:37] finerhine: cause he's not answering
[00:37] Nathan: i talked to him earlier not tonight tho
[00:38] Nathan: not responding to me either yet
[00:41] finerhine: oh here he is
[00:41] Nathan: same
[00:44] finerhine: I'm asking him stuff...
[00:44] finerhine: I'll let you know what he says...
[00:45] Nathan: ok
[00:45] finerhine: are you also talking to him?
[00:46] Nathan: no
[00:46] Nathan: i'm finishing up a mini lol
[00:46] Nathan: i said hi to him, but I never replied back to him
[00:46] finerhine: [00:46] Jee: i asked chicken and he was like i don't know...

[00:47] Nathan: what'd you ask him?
[00:48] finerhine: what he thought might happen if veto was used
[00:49] Nathan: hmmm
[00:51] Nathan: let me see what he says
[00:51] finerhine: ok
[00:51] Nathan: everyone talked and he prob doesn't want anyone to know idk
[00:53] finerhine: he also says that he's worried himself
[00:55] Nathan: really?
[00:56] Nathan: maybe it got out of hand
[00:56] Nathan: you know how word of mouth spreads
[00:57] Nathan:
nathan3me (11:55:57 PM): I wonder who he'll replace, is it still james?

"Jee" (11:56:24 PM): well i never knew if it were james or not.. lol

"Jee" (11:56:30 PM): that was a guess

"Jee" (11:56:33 PM): and i sitll don't know =X

nathan3me (11:56:45 PM): lol, I think people are saying that but maybe it's not true
[00:57] finerhine: hmm
[00:57] finerhine: thanks
[00:57] Nathan: please don't say I told you anything
[00:57] finerhine: I won't Nate.
[00:58] finerhine: you can trust me. I would hope that you'd have figured that out by now.
[00:58] finerhine:
[00:58] Nathan: mhm
[00:58] Nathan: you said david and Janelle said I told them that tho
[00:58] Nathan: that's how I lose trust
[00:59] finerhine: well they did tell me that
[00:59] Nathan: iyeah
[00:59] Nathan: i like to keep convos with people to ourselves you know?
[00:59] finerhine: yeah
[00:59] Nathan: but I trust that you wont say anything to jee or anybody
[01:00] finerhine: well David brought this whole thing up to me...so I had to find out where it came from...I asked Janelle,,,she said she heard it from you and David, and then I asked David who told me it came from you.
[01:00] finerhine: that's why I asked you
[01:01] Nathan: yeah
[01:01] Nathan: i understand
[01:03] Nathan: i think everything will work out
[01:03] finerhine: I really hope so
[01:05] Nathan: who is close to roddy, do you know?
[01:06] finerhine: not sure
[01:06] finerhine: I talk to him sometimes...
[01:12] finerhine: are you worried you won't have the votes against Roddy?
[01:12] finerhine: I would think you are pretty safe
[01:12] Nathan: I hope so, but you never know really
[01:12] Nathan: everyone says no one is talking about it, but I'm sure people are right?
[01:12] finerhine: for sure
[01:18] finerhine: I'm hating this game lol
[01:20] Nathan: what game?
[01:20] finerhine: this one that we're in. lol
[01:21] finerhine: nobody says what they mean...or gives straight answers...
[01:27] Nathan: lol
[01:27] Nathan: I say it straight
[01:27] finerhine: which I appreciate. lol
[01:29] Nathan: no prob
[01:29] Nathan: I feel like everyone doesn't want to talk game
[01:29] Nathan: like people are afraid to say stuff
[01:30] finerhine: I know...well there are so many of us
[01:30] finerhine: I guess that's why...
[01:32] finerhine: alright, so Jee just guessed that it would be me? But he must have talked with George about it...
[01:32] finerhine: why do I get the feeling that everyone outside of our "alliance" is aligned?
[01:34] Nathan: i think they are
[01:35] Nathan: george jordan kaysar will
[01:35] Nathan: who else?
[01:35] finerhine: Erika?
[01:37] finerhine: someone in our "alliance" must have flipped too
[01:38] Nathan: probably
[01:39] finerhine: any ideas who it might have been?
[01:39] finerhine: I know it wasn't you, Janele or David. lol
[01:39] finerhine: and it wasn't me.
[01:39] Nathan: drew maybe
[01:40] finerhine: That seems to be the consensus
[01:40] Nathan: that's why kaysar is safe this week
[01:41] finerhine: yeah
[01:41] Nathan: all fits together
[01:42] finerhine: I just want to know what's going to happen! I'm sure you do too! lol
[01:45] Nathan: mhm
[01:45] Nathan: i want results now!
[01:48] finerhine: well soon
[01:49] finerhine: Roddy just finished it...so possibly just Danielle left...if she's not done it yet.
[01:50] Nathan: yeah

[00:47] Roddy: Hey!
[00:47] finerhine: hey buddy
[00:47] finerhine: how are you?
[00:47] Roddy: pretty good

[00:50] Roddy: *until
[00:52] finerhine: well good luck
[00:52] finerhine: I hear it's difficult
[00:52] Roddy: lol
[00:52] Roddy: i bet it will be
[00:52] Roddy: but i did my research
[00:54] Roddy: lol
[00:54] Roddy: i mean that as in the real BB version of it
[00:54] Roddy: not like cheating and asking people
[00:54] Roddy: i just realized that could have come across rlly wrong lol
[00:54] finerhine: I knew what you meant
[00:54] Roddy: lol just clarifying haha
[00:54] finerhine: alright
[00:55] finerhine: George is just such a difficult person to get a read on...I want you to be able to save yourself...but I have no idea who he might put up in your place
[00:55] Roddy: lol same
[00:56] Roddy: well, if anything i have to save myself
[00:56] Roddy: and not worry about who he'd put up in my place, u know?
[00:56] Roddy: but i have no idea
[00:56] Roddy: i dont even talk to him
[00:56] Roddy: i dont want to
[00:56] Roddy: i dont like him
[00:56] Roddy: lmao
[00:56] finerhine: oh I know
[00:56] finerhine: And I'd expect you to do that
[00:57] Roddy: lol
[00:58] Roddy: i almost wanted to IM him the other day to start shit
[00:58] Roddy: just cuz what he said about the PMs
[00:58] Roddy: but i refrained
[00:58] Roddy: cuz i dont know if he has any "allies" that i might need votes from this week
[00:58] Roddy: lol
[00:58] finerhine: he's probably got a few allies
[00:58] Roddy: i dont understand how....
[00:58] Roddy: everyone ive talked with says they dont speak to him
[00:58] Roddy: and when they do its awkward and he doesnt say anything
[00:58] finerhine: they're probably covering their asses
[01:00] Roddy: hm, maybe.
[01:00] Roddy: I still am convinced there's someone in our alliance whos exposing it
[01:00] Roddy: and wants to destroy it
[01:00] finerhine: for sure
[01:01] Roddy: Janelle just told me she thinks its Drew
[01:01] Roddy: hes been @ the top of my radar for that since that christmas post
[01:01] Roddy: but im not ruling anyone out
[01:01] Roddy: i wouldnt be surprised if janelle was doing shit behind the scenes w/ it as well u know
[01:01] Roddy: i trust u 100
[01:01] Roddy: thats about it
[01:01] Roddy: lol
[01:03] Roddy: Well Janelle is pushing that its Drew lol
[01:03] finerhine: well that's good
[01:03] finerhine: I trust you too
[01:03] finerhine: it's hard to believe it's not Drew
[01:03] Roddy: RoDDyDevilMonsta 1:02 am
hmmm. no idea, but u could be right.
I'm sure there's soemone thats not too keen on the idea of our 9 person alliance
lol
Janelle 1:02 am
haha yeah i heard that he had leaked it
RoDDyDevilMonsta 1:03 am
From who?
Janelle 1:03 am
i forget who told me now. its been a little while
[01:04] finerhine: because of the whole skin thing
[01:04] Roddy: i HATE when people say they "forgot who told them"
[01:04] Roddy: i think thats such a freakin lie
[01:04] finerhine: yeah
[01:04] Roddy: its not hard to remember who told u something
[01:04] Roddy: :
[01:04] finerhine: how could you forget
[01:04] Roddy: (eyeroll smiley)
[01:04] Roddy: forgot it wasnt proboards
[01:04] Roddy: lol
[01:04] Roddy: see, that doesnt sit with me well when someone thats aligned with me is lying already about something like that
[01:04] Roddy: lol
[01:05] Roddy: and drew on the other hand
[01:05] finerhine: I really hate this
[01:05] Roddy: like can i trust what he's saying in the bedroom? i hope i really have his vote if nominees stay as they are
[01:05] Roddy: I think I'd have him if hes honest, you, kaysar told me he'd keep me
[01:05] Roddy: David i'm hoping
[01:05] Roddy: Dani idk considering Nathan picked her for Veto
[01:05] finerhine: I know...that's why I didn't say I had your back in the bedroom...I didn't want it to get out to the wrong people
[01:05] Roddy: honestly idk what Dani is doing in our alliance
[01:06] Roddy: like, i talked to her once.
[01:06] Roddy: She's not around much, even less than me imo.
[01:06] finerhine: tell me about it
[01:06] Roddy: I dont see her being that strong of a competitor thus far (watch her win veto ugh lol)
[01:06] finerhine: why wasn't she nominated?
[01:06] Roddy: exactly
[01:06] Roddy: w/e
[01:06] finerhine: I'd be so pissed if George is planning a backdoor
[01:07] Roddy: doubt it
[01:07] Roddy: He genuinely doesnt like me obv.
[01:07] Roddy: he didnt respond to my PMs
[01:07] Roddy: then told me i was nom'd because we don't talk and i never even PM'd him
[01:07] Roddy: and he told Nathan he was safe pre-noms and then put him up
[01:08] Roddy: soooo...yeah. i dont think hes fond of us lol.
[01:08] finerhine: that's weird.
[01:08] finerhine: maybe he's planning to save Nathan?
[01:08] Roddy: hm.good point.
[01:08] Roddy: well, i wouldnt be surprised if that whole other side of the alliance really didnt like us or something
[01:08] Roddy: lol
[01:09] finerhine: and it wasn't even our freakin idea!
[01:09] Roddy: i know -_-
[01:09] Roddy: i knew i didnt want to get involved in it
[01:09] Roddy: if im being targetted for this alliance, uhg.
[01:09] Roddy: i mean, it is for the most part the strongest people in the house though, so it pays off for the most part.
[01:10] Roddy: or for the first few weeks it will lol
[01:11] finerhine: well apparently neither did Santa want to be involved in the alliance
[01:11] Roddy: LMAO!
[01:11] finerhine: how could you even be targetted for that? You were barely around
[01:11] Roddy: i know lol
[01:11] Roddy: but it still wouldnt surprise me
[01:11] Roddy: like take out people in that alliance thaty maybe werent around as much
[01:11] Roddy: idk
[01:11] Roddy: ...
[01:11] Roddy: lol
[01:12] Roddy: i wasnt like invisible
[01:12] Roddy: i just wasnt online as much as some others lol
[01:12] Roddy: the thing is like, sometimes i get online too
[01:12] Roddy: but NO ONE ELSE is on when I log on
[01:12] Roddy: -_- lol
[01:12] finerhine: I know!

[01:12] Roddy: it pisses me off lol
[01:13] Roddy: im like, i try to get on to talk to people and they're just never on
[01:13] Roddy: doesnt exactly work in my favor
[01:13] Roddy: hey where do u think justin stands?
[01:13] Roddy: he is another one ike confusing to me
[01:13] Roddy: *like
[01:13] finerhine: I don't know...
[01:13] finerhine: I feel like everyone outside of our alliance is aligned.
[01:14] finerhine: just because of the fact that ours was leaked
[01:14] Roddy: SAME
[01:14] finerhine: has anyone besides Drew promised you their vote?
[01:14] Roddy: yes
[01:14] Roddy: kaysare
[01:15] Roddy: *kaysar
[01:15] Roddy: jee
[01:15] finerhine: well that's a good start
[01:15] Roddy: im going to check w/ dave right now actually
[01:15] finerhine: lol
[01:15] Roddy: you i'm guessing?
[01:15] Roddy: lol
[01:15] finerhine: good idea
[01:15] Roddy: that would be 5 if dave says yes
[01:15] finerhine: I told you already
[01:15] finerhine: lol
[01:15] Roddy: lol i know
[01:15] Roddy: kidding with u
[01:15] Roddy: i'd need 8 to stay so if dave says yes 3 more, 4 to be safe
[01:15] Roddy: I'm working on Holly but I know she's close with Nathan, but she's also expressed she likes me
[01:16] Roddy: I'm gunna try to work on Justin since we talked a bit...
[01:16] Roddy: Nakomis i'll talk with
[01:16] Roddy: Jean Jordan i'm attempting
[01:16] Roddy: Janelle I think is close with Nathan so i dont think im gunna even bother asking
[01:16] Roddy: im trying with Sarah
[01:16] Roddy: Dani is a lost cause
[01:17] finerhine: yeah I think Janelle is closer with Nathan
[01:17] Roddy: yeah, i know she is. lol
[01:17] finerhine: you could leave Dani a PM still
[01:17] Roddy: yeah
[01:17] Roddy: but the fact that Nate picked Danielle for veto out of anyone i felt like kind of said something
[01:17] finerhine: my guess is that he thought it would be less competition
[01:17] Roddy: well i talked to him one day and i think he said danielle said she might save him if she won or something like that
[01:18] Roddy: when i asked why he picked her
[01:18] finerhine: hmmm
[01:18] finerhine: really?
[01:19] Roddy: yes
[01:19] Roddy: keyword being might
[01:19] Roddy: but
[01:19] Roddy: yeah
[01:19] finerhine: or she might save you, or nobody. lol
[01:20] Roddy: LOL doubt she'd save me
[01:20] Roddy: lmao
[01:20] finerhine: Whoever this Santa person is, they've succeeded at getting us all to point fingers at each other
[01:20] Roddy: but yeah, ur right.
[01:20] Roddy: well, i havent seen too many fingers pointed other than at Drew
[01:20] Roddy: but yes, Iknew this was going to occur.
[01:20] Roddy: A 9 person alliance isn't gunna stay together for that long -_-
[01:20] Roddy: lol
[01:20] finerhine: well I mean it's caused us not to be able to trust everyone
[01:21] Roddy: somewhat
[01:22] Roddy: i always knew where i stood with certain people in this alliance
[01:22] Roddy: like obviously its split
[01:22] finerhine: are you talking with Dave?
[01:22] Roddy: it was made up by JANELLE PICKING A SIDE and DAVID PICKING A SIDE

[01:22] Roddy: like, u know? lol
[01:22] Roddy: yes i am..why?
[01:22] finerhine: because you said you were going to check with him...I wanted to know what he told you.
[01:23] Roddy: Oh yes!Sorry, update.lol
[01:23] Roddy: He said yes
[01:23] Roddy: he'd vote to keep me
[01:23] finerhine: it makes more sense too
[01:23] finerhine: lol
[01:23] finerhine: besides the fact that I like you
[01:24] Roddy: why is that?
[01:24] Roddy: lol
[01:24] finerhine: well if Janelle is closer to Nathan, as well as Holly, then they would be down a person.
[01:24] Roddy: right
[01:24] finerhine: I mean for me and David to keep you
[01:24] finerhine: it would make the most sense
[01:25] Roddy: hmm, true.
[01:25] Roddy: I thought it was split bedroom and bedroom but
[01:25] Roddy: apparently
[01:25] Roddy: dani could be with them
[01:25] Roddy: so
[01:25] Roddy: we never know
[01:25] finerhine: well I don't know anymore
[01:25] Roddy: lol
[01:25] Roddy: yeah....same.
[01:25] Roddy: I'm sure there's side alliances too, there has to be.
[01:25] Roddy: So... we all know how all that goes.
[01:26] finerhine: I'm hating this game at the moment.
[01:26] Roddy: lol
[01:26] Roddy: i know what u mean
[01:26] Roddy: well it was dry the first 2 weeks and the drama picked up week 3 as i predicted haha
[01:26] finerhine: it definitely has...
[01:27] Roddy: i'll be honest i was surprised michelle was evicted last week
[01:27] Roddy: @ first i wanted her to go, but changed my vote.
[01:27] Roddy: But like literally everyone i talked to was saying they wanted to keep michelle
[01:27] finerhine: of course they would
[01:28] finerhine: this game is unpredictable
[01:29] Roddy: so im gunna try the veto now, i guess we could do it with hc lmao
[01:29] finerhine: yeah
[01:29] finerhine: good luck
[01:29] Roddy: thanks!
[01:30] finerhine: I might still be here when you're done
[01:30] finerhine: if not, good night!
[01:30] Roddy: alright
[01:30] Roddy: i'll let u know how i do if ur still on
[01:30] finerhine: ok
[01:43] Roddy: ugh
[01:43] Roddy: epic fail.
[01:44] finerhine: oh no
[01:44] finerhine: was it really bad?
[01:45] Roddy: it was really hard
[01:45] Roddy: because the images moves so quickly
[01:45] Roddy: that i didnt have time to actually like, think.
[01:46] finerhine: hopefully it was the same for everyone else too
[01:47] Roddy: well janelle and sarah was
[01:47] Roddy: but nathan said he thinks he did ok so
[01:47] Roddy: ahh
[01:47] Roddy: janelle said she passed on 3 of them
[01:47] Roddy: i at least know i got them all right
[01:47] Roddy: it was just not quickly
[01:47] Roddy: lol
[01:49] finerhine: well I guess we'll wait and see...I wonder if Dani has done it
[01:49] Roddy: i dont think so
[01:49] Roddy: someone told me we're waiting on her
[01:50] Roddy: well, i really was hoping i could go for that one and save myself but i'm really doubting it.
[01:50] Roddy: so... I think Nathan won it
[01:50] Roddy: unless someone gives Dani the answers I don't see her winning it
[01:50] Roddy: I don't see Janelle winning it seeing as she passed on 3 and got one wrong
[01:50] Roddy: And Sarah doesn't seem confident whatsoever
[01:50] Roddy: She didnt get the last 3
[01:50] Roddy: she just said
[01:51] Roddy: so Sarah & Janelle are out
[01:51] Roddy: who knows how CG did
[01:51] Roddy: ugh
[01:51] Roddy: if he wins
[01:51] finerhine: Well I don't want George to win it
[01:51] Roddy: F.M.L.
[01:51] Roddy: lol
[01:51] finerhine: well
[01:52] finerhine: now we wait
[01:52] finerhine: which is the worst part
[01:52] Roddy: lol true that
[01:56] finerhine: Danielle just signed in
[01:57] Roddy: did she?
[01:57] Roddy: with an away and catching zzzzz
[01:57] Roddy: lol
[01:57] Roddy: bitch betta do the veto
[01:57] Roddy: immediately
[01:57] Roddy: lol jk
[01:58] finerhine: try to see if she's there?
[01:58] Roddy: she is
[01:58] Roddy: i just IM'd her
[02:03] Roddy: Danielle 2:02 am
gosh, I don't know. I don't want you to go.
Danielle 2:02 am
the sexy room has to stay together.
I was a little shocked that Nathan picked me.
RoDDyDevilMonsta 2:03 am
I hope I don't go
I was too actually
I was like..is something going on there?
lol
not gunna lie
[02:03] Roddy: !!!! there is hope
[02:04] Roddy: Dont u love how i relay all info to u? lmfao
[02:06] finerhine: well yes
[02:06] finerhine: lol

I wanted to tell Roddy about the "rumours", but didn't want him to have that on his mind during the competition. Aren't I a great guy?

[James Rhine]

Quick recap of what's been going on recently...Doing it here since it's too hard to make it rhyme when I just want to spout this out.

David told me that he and Nate and Janelle were talking about George's plan to backdoor someone...and they think it will be me. So not cool.
So I try to get to the bottom of this, talk to all of them, plus Nate directed me to Jee who claimed to have no ideas. Lies.
Also talked with Kaysar, who said the same. Also lying? Probably.
I left George a PM that said that I knew he must have some kind a plan, not sure what he has with others, but that I'd keep him safe if I win HOH in the near future. Hopefully that doesn't hurt me.
Now David said he couldn't get anything out of George when he asked about a replacement nominee. I'm thinking it could actually be David who goes up and not me. Because if evicting me is George's master plan...then he's made a big mistake. Firstly, my track record in challenges pales in comparison to a handful of others who I'm "aligned" with. I already promised him safety, which I plan to follow through on. I like to think I have friends who will be looking to exact a little revenge on his ass should I be evicted.

Anyway, some good things that happened...I've bonded with Kaysar, we share the same taste in BB houseguests which could be a good thing. If he is aligned with George, maybe he'll put in a good word for me.

David has vowed to not let anything happen to me...he's going to work on Justin's vote.

[James Rhine]

[21:21] finerhine: hey
[21:21] George: hey
[21:21] finerhine: you have no idea how nervous everyone is. lol
[21:21] finerhine: and it's all your fault.
[21:21] George: LOLOL
[21:21] George: awesome
[21:21] finerhine: I thought you might like that
[21:22] finerhine: and I kind of like that you like that...
[21:22] George: lol
[21:23] finerhine: so it won't be me then?
[21:23] finerhine: I'm so looking forward to this veto ceremony if it's not...ha ha.
[21:23] George: nope lolol
[21:23] George: i pmed you back
[21:23] finerhine: yeah I got that.
[21:23] finerhine: I said thank you.
[21:23] finerhine: and I'll say it here too
[21:23] finerhine: Thank you
[21:24] George: oh lol
[21:24] George: no problem
[21:24] finerhine: so you know right at this moment who's going up?
[21:25] finerhine: you've had this planned all along, haven't you?
[21:26] George: =-O
[21:26] George:
[21:26] finerhine: the crafty chicken
[21:26] George:
[21:26] finerhine: well alright
[21:26] finerhine: you've taken a load off of my mind Georgie
[21:27] finerhine: now I can go and relax. lol
[21:27] George: yeah no need to be nervous
[21:27] George: i know there were rumors of you going up
[21:27] finerhine: well that's why...I heard them too.
[21:28] George: i wonder who started them =-O
[21:28] finerhine: word will get around fast...
[21:28] finerhine: I wonder too. lol
[21:28] George: me lol
[21:28] finerhine: I figured
[21:28] finerhine: lol
[21:28] finerhine: It's smart
[21:28] George: keep people on their toes
[21:28] finerhine: for sure
[21:28] finerhine: I could learn a lot from you
[21:29] finerhine: want to take me under your chicken wing?
[21:29] finerhine: lol
[21:29] George: im leaving like next week after this
[21:29] George: no one likes a loose cannon
[21:29] finerhine: well I already told you if I win, you're not going anywhere.
[21:30] finerhine: so at least you've got that. Not sure how much that's worth with my competition track record, but it's something. ha ha.
[21:30] George: lolol
[21:30] George: well maybe you'll get lucky like me
[21:30] finerhine: I'm hoping

[James Rhine]

I think I've set myself up pretty well if I'm not the one who wins HOH this week...The only person I worry about winning is Will, who would be the only person I know at this moment that I would nominate. We haven't spoken at all!

But George told me I'm his favourite, so if he has any pull with anyone like Will, Jordan, Jee, Erika or Kaysar, that could be a good thing.

I've been talking a lot lately with Kaysar. I think we may have bonded. lol

David says that Justin is in with he and I. So that's exciting too.

Roddy probably thinks he's my number 1. I'd like him to keep thinking that. I would like him to be around for a bit longer.

Danielle is annoying me. She says she wants to stay with the Yellow Bedroom, which could be true. She's not been very helpful...and not being able to play in the HOH doesn't make things any better! She also says she wouldn't be surprised if she is nominated this week by anyone! I wouldn't mind seeing that. But I wouldn't do it myself.

Same with Drew. He's become distant. But recently I had a chat with him. So maybe that's going to turn around. I suppose it would be nice if the 5 of us from Yellow Bedroom are here for the long haul.

I really like Nakomis. We should be good too.

As for everyone else in our "alliance", I'm pretty sure I'd be okay if Janelle, Nathan, or Sarah were to win HOH. Amy too.


So obviously if I win HOH (which I don't think is likely), I'd have a hard time putting a second person on the block. I'd ask for opinions from everyone.

[James Rhine]

Drew knows he's in trouble. Especially now that Jordan has outed him. I still don't know who made those Santa posts. The only person that would have been able to get a screen cap of David's HOH room would be him. And then whoever edited the list in there must have posted it. Yes, I suppose it could have been Jordan. But he probably helped her. It's good that Drew won't be targetting me. I just tried to act as sympathetic as I could, while not making him any promises that I couldn't keep.

[11:56] Drew: hey
[11:56] finerhine: hi
[11:56] finerhine: I can't believe Jordan would do something like that...
[11:56] finerhine: well I can actually.
[11:56] Drew: lol
[11:56] Drew: i can
[11:56] finerhine:
[11:56] finerhine: did you know what she was like?
[11:57] Drew: yeah
[11:57] Drew: she was very two-faced
[11:57] finerhine: before you decided to join up with her?
[11:57] Drew: she was like that during that time
[11:57] finerhine: and you still chose her over us? lol
[11:57] finerhine: I don't even care that you did.
[11:58] Drew: it's actually a lot less cut and dry then you think
[11:58] finerhine: It was a strategic move, I can't be angry at you
[11:58] Drew: i was hoping to get you and Roddy with me later
[11:58] finerhine: I knew you weren't completely against all of us
[11:59] Drew: but i just couldn't stick with an alliance that i was forced into
[11:59] finerhine: well sure
[11:59] finerhine: are you regretting that decision now though?
[11:59] finerhine: are you worried with Janelle in charge?
[11:59] finerhine: I haven't talked to her so I/m not sure on anything.
[11:59] Drew: oh completely
[12:00] Drew: i'm 100% terrified
[12:00] Drew: but i haven't been mean to anyone
[12:00] finerhine: I know that
[12:00] finerhine: well I suppose you could try talking to her about it, if you want.
[12:01] Drew: i don't want you to do anything you're uncomfortable with
[12:02] finerhine: I wasn't planning to...
[12:02] finerhine: I suggested you try to talk to her, not me.
[12:02] finerhine:
[12:02] Drew: oh
[12:02] Drew: i misread that
[12:03] finerhine: I thought so. lol
[12:03] Drew: i was quite surprised by the gesture
[12:03] finerhine: I still plan on talking to her
[12:03] finerhine: I think you're biggest shot at surviving the week is the majority being angry at George for Holly's departure.
[12:04] Drew: i can live with that
[12:04] finerhine: more time = good
[12:04] Drew: and George thinks his days are numbered
[12:04] finerhine: I know
[12:04] finerhine: he said while he was still HOH
[12:05] Drew: i do have to say one thing about myself
[12:06] Drew: it wasn't me who made those posts in the front door
[12:06] finerhine: no?
[12:06] Drew: nope
[12:06] finerhine: do you know who did?
[12:06] Drew: i don't, and it's driving me crazy
[12:06] Drew: i don't know who would use my ugly skin
[12:06] finerhine: suppose it could have been Jordan?
[12:06] finerhine: but then you'd suspect her right away wouldn't you?
[12:07] finerhine: if you had been sharing info
[12:07] Drew: i actually suspected her from the get-go
[12:07] finerhine: did you ask her about it?
[12:07] Drew: no, i try not to talk about it with people unless they bring it up
[12:07] Drew: but at this point, i don't have much of a choice
[12:07] finerhine: I guess not
[12:09] Drew: i think if i play my cards right, i can survive for a bit
[12:09] finerhine: for sure
[12:09] finerhine: I can't believe I came that close to winning HOH!
[12:10] finerhine: I was getting a little excited.
[12:10] finerhine: lol
[12:10] Drew: i was rooting for you
[12:10] finerhine: thanks, I was too.
[12:10] finerhine: I guess technically I finished 3rd
[12:10] finerhine: not bad
[12:10] finerhine: maybe I'll get the next one.
[12:13] Drew: [crosses fingers]
[12:13] Drew: though i would like to win one
[12:13] finerhine: yeah, I guess you would!
[12:14] Drew: i came close in the last one and the first one
[12:14] finerhine: then maybe you'll get your chance
[12:15] Drew: and i'm pretty sure i told this to you
[12:15] Drew: if i win, your key gets pulled first
[12:16] finerhine: you don't have to do that....

[12:16] finerhine: anywhere in the order is fine with me.
[12:17] Drew: haha, ok
[12:17] Drew: i hope you're not too mad
[12:17] Drew: you were never a target in my eyes
[12:17] Drew: i was actually planning on asking you to work with me in a couple rounds xD
[12:18] finerhine: I'm not mad that you tried to make a move that backfired
[12:19] finerhine: I don't understand it fully...you could have easily made final 9
[12:20] finerhine: but it was your decision to make
[12:20] Drew: yeah, but here's the thing
[12:20] Drew: what would have happened at 9?
[12:20] finerhine: not sure
[12:20] Drew: i would have likely been one of the first to go
[12:21] finerhine: instead of now going out possibly at 16th?
[12:21] finerhine: but you couldn'tkno whtat
[12:21] Drew: at least i know i didn't just sit back and do nothing
[12:21] finerhine: when you joined up with Jordan
[12:21] Drew: exactly
[12:21] Drew: if i had known she was gonna go ape-shit crazy, it probably would have been okay
[12:22] finerhine: she really flew off the handle, didn't she?
[12:22] finerhine: I think that sometimes people jsut join these things to screw people
[12:22] finerhine: which kind of sucks
[12:22] finerhine: at least you made the game a little less boring than it might have been.
[12:24] Drew: haha, true
[12:25] finerhine: well, I'm going to let you go now.
[12:25] finerhine: good luck this week
[12:25] Drew: thanks
[12:26] Drew: have a good afternoon

These are my peeps, and in ranking order for this week.
These guys I like, but I wouldn't hesitate to vote them out.
And these three right now are who I want out of the game the most.

So I guess this is essentially a boot list.

David
Nakomis
Janelle
Roddy
Nathan
Sarah
Amy
Justin
Danielle
Erika
George
Drew
Kaysar
Jee
Will

[James Rhine]

Amy
David
James
Justin
Nakomis
Nathan
Roddy
Sarah

Drew
Jee
Kaysar
Will

2 people from our alliance voted to keep George!

[James Rhine]

Something is definitely up. Somehow, I'm on the block, and Nathan was the one who put me there? Because of something someone told him. Apparently, I said I wanted to see Nate on the block. lol Where, dear diary room, have I EVER mentioned that? It's complete bullshit, and people need to realize. I can't wait to sort this issue out with Nathan.

[James Rhine]

[21:48] finerhine: hi
[21:49] Nathan: hey
[21:49] finerhine: I've been trying to catch you for days. lol
[21:50] Nathan: days?
[21:50] finerhine: well, you know. From after the HOH comp. So maybe not for days... ha ha.
[21:50] finerhine: anyway...
[21:50] finerhine: what's the story?
[21:52] Nathan: well
[21:52] Nathan: the story was that you were planning on putting me up if you were to win hoh
[21:52] finerhine: ok...do you mind if I ask who told you this?
[21:53] finerhine: because I don't recall saying anything like that at all.
[21:53] Nathan: ya i'm not going to say, i just wanted to know if its true or not
[21:53] finerhine: it's obviously not true
[21:53] finerhine: but it bothers me that you won't say who it was.
[21:53] Nathan: i don't want it to become a big deal
[21:54] finerhine: well..
[21:54] finerhine: it kind of is a big deal
[21:54] finerhine: lol
[21:54] finerhine: if someone's spreading lies about me
[21:54] Nathan: you will go to them
[21:55] Nathan: and it will start a huge thing
[21:55] finerhine: was it someone that's in our alliance?
[21:55] Nathan: i trust you, we have votes for will to go
[21:55] finerhine: well if you left me off the block, we'd have my vote too!
[21:55] finerhine: I told you I wanted him gone
[21:55] Nathan: wanted will gone?
[21:56] finerhine: yes
[21:56] Nathan: ok good
[21:56] finerhine: I left you an IM today
[21:56] Nathan: it will work out, I should have waited i'm sorry
[21:56] Nathan: on aim?
[21:56] finerhine: yeah
[21:56] finerhine: I said I'd have put up Will if I had won.
[21:56] Nathan: will you let me know when you get this? lol
[21:56] Nathan: that?
[21:56] finerhine: that was just recent
[21:57] Nathan: oh yeah I got that one too
[21:57] finerhine: so what's happens with veto?
[21:57] Nathan: what you mean?
[21:57] finerhine: I'm obviously going to try to win it.
[21:57] finerhine: lol
[21:57] Nathan: yeah
[21:57] Nathan: lol
[21:57] finerhine: but if you do...are you just going to leave me up there?
[21:58] Nathan: no
[21:59] finerhine: so there's a back-up nominee then?
[21:59] finerhine: that you could have put up in the first place. lol
[21:59] finerhine: You said a second person hinted that I said that I wuld have nominated you....
[22:00] Nathan: yeah
[22:00] Nathan: I think I know of someone to put up
[22:00] finerhine: are both of these people in our alliance? or not?
[22:00] Nathan: no
[22:00] finerhine: well then!
[22:00] finerhine: why the hell are you listening to them!? lol
[22:00] finerhine: seriously
[22:01] Nathan: they showed me a log of it =/
[22:01] finerhine: I'd love to see it
[22:01] finerhine: cause it was obviously fake
[22:01] finerhine: I wish you had come to me first
[22:02] finerhine: It's not a nice feeling being on the nomination block, even though we have the numbers
[22:02] Nathan: ya i know
[22:02] Nathan: i screwed up i'm sorry but i think we'll be ok
[22:02] finerhine: we thought we had the numbers last week, and it ended in a tie
[22:02] finerhine: I hope so
[22:02] Nathan: we still had numbers
[22:02] finerhine: only because Janelle broke the tie. lol
[22:03] finerhine: so that combined with the fact that you're listening to people who are trying to save themselves, makes me really worried for our futures in this game.
[22:04] finerhine: anyway, that's enough about that.
[22:04] finerhine: you promise that you will save me if you win veto?
[22:05] finerhine: ?
[22:06] Nathan: yes
[22:06] finerhine: thanks
[22:06] Nathan: no prob
[22:06] finerhine: are you willing to share who might go up in my place?
[22:06] Nathan: idk who yet lol
[22:06] finerhine: [22:00] Nathan: I think I know of someone to put up

[22:07] Nathan: yeah lol
[22:07] Nathan: but it might change
[22:07] finerhine: as long as you don't change your mind about trusting me...
[22:08] finerhine: And I won't hold any of this against you, so don't worry about that.
[22:08] Nathan: i wont
[22:08] Nathan: thanks
[22:08] finerhine: well, glad that's resolved.
[22:08] finerhine: lol
[22:08] finerhine: next time, talk to me first!
[22:09] Nathan: I will
[22:10] finerhine: alright, good night.
[22:11] Nathan: night

[James Rhine]

Things are not adding up...

Nathan refuses to put up Drew, instead putting me up?
Why the hell did Sarah try so hard in the veto comp? And then she doesn't save me.
Where does Justin fit in?
Why is Nathan always logged in as invisible all of a sudden?
Why is Nakomis logged in as invisible? And why hasn't she responded to my PM?
Why is Roddy telling me he has my back costantly? And minutes after he tells me he's going to find out what he can, he tells me there's a majority that's been asked to vote me out. But nobody's been online here or on AIM during those few minutes...
What's happened to KC? Why has HouseCalls taken over?

[Nick]

Well you see James, we had Jessica sleep with KC to lure him out into the ally behind the house and she sat him in the dumpster then we all ran inside and locked the door.

We don't have a motive. Because motives are incidental.

[James Rhine]

well thanks for the scoop, Nick. good to see you again by the way! And glad to still be here!
