My Housemates/Alliances

[James Rhine]

I'm totally expecting someone like Sarah or Drew or Jee to win this HOH...I hope it's Sarah out of those three. I wouldn't mind Erika. I'd prefer David or Amy, and then Nakomis and Nathan/Justin.

[James Rhine]

Well House Calls, I went against my first instinct to nominate Nathan against Drew...I'm hoping it all works out and Drew goes home. Otherwise, it's no more Mr. Nice Guy.

Nathan has been shady all along when it came to Drew and Justin, he claims to not be with them after they lied to him and he put me on the block because of it. But he still gets along well with them for them to give him money during the auction. I still can't believe I won HOH that way. And I feel bad for putting Danielle up because she did help me win. I sent her a PM explaining my reasons, I hope she won't be too mad.

I wanted to put Nathan up tonight, not for revenge but for strategic reasons. This way he wouldn't be able to vote to keep Drew, and he'd most likely cancel one of the votes that he didn't feel confident enough about, meaning Drew would leave or cause a tie where in I would save him. I decided against it to not further destroy our shrinking alliance.

Some of you know I have a history of making fatal errors and trusting the wrong people. I guess we'll see if Nathan is actually with me or not.

And I've asked Erika and Roddy to vote out Drew. I know Amy and Janelle will.

Justin will probably be after me now. So he can't win HOH next week, it has to go to Janelle or Amy who I'd feel most comfortable with, not even Roddy --- I'm afraid he'll find out I was originally going to vote him out. I would love to see Erika win next. I think I'd be good with her.

[James Rhine]

It worked. Drew is gone. I'll soon have to rhyme about that in my other thread.

Nathan didn't use his vote cancel prize from the auction, like he said he would. But I'll take what I can get. My HOH wasn't a complete waste. And Danielle said she understood my predicament. So I'm hoping she'll be forgiving if she somehow wins HOH.

I've been talking with Jee lately. Like a lot. I'm trying to kill him with kindness. I'd like for him to think I'm a terribly nice guy (which I am for the most part ) so that he won't ever want to nominate me. lol

[James Rhine]

I don't understand why Nathan wanted to be nominated so badly...but he wanted to. I asked him 5 or 6 times if he was sure and gave him the opportunity to back out at the last minute. Kind of makes me wonder what he's up to...

He said it's to ensure that Danielle is the one that leaves. But he only offered this after I told him the other nominee was probably going to be Jee. So more shadiness from the shadiest guy in the game. At first, he also wanted me to not mention that he and I discussed using him as a "pawn" to anyone, so of course I told Janelle and Amy incase he tried to spin it and put me in a negative light. But he later said that I could tell people, and he told Janelle about it on his own, so that's one good thing.

I would honestly love if Nathan left this week, but I don't think it's likely. Janelle and Amy and Jee and Sarah and Erika would not vote him out for sure. Nakomis might not either, but Roddy might. I did mention to almost everyone that I thought Danielle should go this week, to try to keep me on good terms with all of them next week, including Jee. But I'm going to have to nominate Jee if Nathan or Danielle come down. It would be kind of fun if it were Danielle, who won veto. I'm hoping that Jee isn't even competing, because I don't want him to win and sv Nathan. Then I have no choice but to nominate one of the people who I've been promising safety to for the last couple weeks.

[James Rhine]

A lot's happened. Most of what I was feeling I've said publicly in the living room. Basically Nathan's a douche, who's been looking for a reason to target me. Roddy's gone, we were actually a pair, but not as close as Nathan wanted people to believe...

Anyway, I got to compete in back to back HOHs. I didn't win the second one, but Nathan didn't either. I was very excited when he was eliminated first round. I knew I'd be out third round, but Nakomis (who did end up winning) has told me I'm 100% safe and I'm believing her, even though I've heard she's pretty sneaky too. I also know she's also told Sarah she's safe, so hopefully she's not saying the same thing to everybody. I really wanted her to win if I didn't, so I guess we'll see if she returns the loyalty I showed her when I was HOH.

[James Rhine]

Right now I feel as though I have no real allegiance. Just people I'd like to go further with, but if I had to choose someone as a final 2 right now, I couldn't do it. Though Nakomis may not be a bad choice.

I have ties with Janelle, she's still one of my favourite people in the game.
I also really like Erika, but she's basically useless in terms of winning anything.
And of course, there's Sarah, who's pretty much the same as Erika.
And Nakomis, who like Janelle, is good in competitions and could be very helpful in the future.

For now Jee is not a target of mine, as there are three people I'd like to see gone before him: Nathan, Amy, and Danielle.

With Nathan and Amy gone, Janelle will have to be with me til the end. She'd have no other close allies that would come first.
I'd have an easier time too with no Nathan. The guy was after me for no reason, and now that he's got one, it's even worse. Although the thought had crossed my mind to consider working with him again...just because nobody would EVER expect it. But I really can't stand the dude, and it would look bad on my part.
And Danielle is dangerous too, I wish people would see it.

So a new ranking, #1 being who I'd like to stay most and who I'm closest to at this point. But #1 and #2 are pretty much interchangeable.

1. Janelle
2. Nakomis
3. Sarah
4. Erika
5. Jee
6. Amy
7. Danielle
8. Nathan

(8:14:20 PM): lol
Nathan 8:14 pm
(8:14:24 PM): did Nakomis tell you who she wanted out?
finerhine 8:14 pm
(8:14:38 PM): well I asked her before
(8:14:51 PM): why?
Nathan 8:15 pm
(8:15:04 PM): because like what I heard it was Amy all week
(8:15:16 PM): then suddenly it all switched and she wanted Janelle out
finerhine 8:15 pm
(8:15:16 PM): yeah
(8:15:19 PM): me too
(8:15:26 PM): I kind of thought that was odd
Nathan 8:15 pm
(8:15:34 PM): me too
finerhine 8:15 pm
(8:15:53 PM): so it's like are Nakomis and Amy actually together now?
Nathan 8:16 pm
(8:16:00 PM): idk =-O
finerhine 8:16 pm
(8:16:02 PM): this game is just too crazy
Nathan 8:16 pm
(8:16:09 PM): they prob made a deal
(8:16:29 PM): b/c jee and sarah would vote the way Nak wanted
finerhine 8:16 pm
(8:16:33 PM): hmm
Nathan 8:16 pm
(8:16:40 PM): Erika and Amy are together
finerhine 8:16 pm
(8:16:49 PM): really
Nathan 8:16 pm
(8:16:53 PM): :-!
finerhine 8:17 pm
(8:17:01 PM): so where do you fit in?
Nathan 8:17 pm
(8:17:03 PM): Erika gave Amy her veto ball or whatever you call it
(8:17:32 PM): i dunno where I'm at
(8:18:10 PM): I think I was good with Nak Dani Sarah for sure and poss Amy
(8:18:32 PM): but now I'm thinking i'm on the bottom and like Nak Sarah Amy made some deal
(8:18:37 PM): maybe jee is in on it too
finerhine 8:19 pm
(8:19:04 PM): I don't really know what to think anymore, Nate. lol
Nathan 8:19 pm
(8:19:10 PM): lol
(8:19:20 PM): it's too hard to figure out
finerhine 8:19 pm
(8:19:34 PM): can I ask you a question?
Nathan 8:19 pm
(8:19:37 PM): ok :-)
finerhine 8:19 pm
(8:19:59 PM): when you used that coup d'etat, was that the last time you could have used it?
Nathan 8:20 pm
(8:20:06 PM): no
finerhine 8:20 pm
(8:20:12 PM): seriously?
Nathan 8:20 pm
(8:20:14 PM): this week would have been the last
finerhine 8:20 pm
(8:20:28 PM): now can I ask you another question? :-P
Nathan 8:20 pm
(8:20:31 PM): ok ;-)
(8:20:32 PM): lol
finerhine 8:20 pm
(8:20:36 PM): why couldn
(8:20:52 PM): why couldn't you have let Dani be evicted like I wanted, and take care of Roddy the next week?
finerhine 8:21 pm
(8:21:11 PM): you know that he and I were not a pair...
Nathan 8:21 pm
(8:21:37 PM): I didn't want him on jury was part of it, and Roddy would have had 2 more comps to stay safe, if he won hoh or veto then I would have been screwed
finerhine 8:22 pm
(8:22:05 PM): because you know that's what started me wanting you out. lol
Nathan 8:22 pm
(8:22:05 PM): and I wanted Dani to stay lol
(8:22:11 PM): ya I know :-(
(8:22:19 PM): I had to do it tho
finerhine 8:22 pm
(8:22:25 PM): and then you made it seem like I wanted it all along
(8:22:50 PM): when I talked to most everyone and told them I wanted to try to get rid of Danielle that week. So they all knew.
(8:23:08 PM): anyway, I'm over it. lol
finerhine 8:23 pm
(8:23:21 PM): I'm glad to have survived another week.
Nathan 8:23 pm
(8:23:49 PM): i think i jumped to quick at some things and said things that I shouldn't have
(8:23:52 PM): but its over with
finerhine 8:23 pm
(8:23:52 PM): but I'm serious when I tell you that I won't be targetting you this week, should I somehow win HOH.
(8:24:13 PM): and...
(8:24:28 PM): I'm going to leave it up to you whether you want to try to work together again.
(8:24:37 PM): I will say this though...
(8:24:44 PM): Nobody would expect it. ;-)
Nathan 8:25 pm
(8:25:26 PM): lol I think you have something there
finerhine 8:25 pm
(8:25:34 PM): really?
Nathan 8:25 pm
(8:25:36 PM): i'm willing to try it
finerhine 8:25 pm
(8:25:42 PM): ok
(8:25:44 PM): let's do it
Nathan 8:25 pm
(8:25:56 PM): alright :-)
finerhine 8:25 pm
(8:25:59 PM): you do get to compete this week, right?
Nathan 8:26 pm
(8:26:02 PM): yes
finerhine 8:26 pm
(8:26:09 PM): good
Nathan 8:26 pm
(8:26:13 PM): I couldn't compete in veto this week
(8:26:18 PM): I was so worried
finerhine 8:26 pm
(8:26:59 PM): I just saw the eviction. lol
(8:27:14 PM): I was the only vote to keep Janelle.
Nathan 8:27 pm
(8:27:33 PM): let's really keep this a secret, i kinda feel like after janelle is gone now that we can like do what lydia/natalie did on the real show
finerhine 8:27 pm
(8:27:41 PM): oh yeah
Nathan 8:27 pm
(8:27:51 PM): ya I know, i felt bad but she understood when I talked to her last night
(8:27:54 PM): she knew she was going
finerhine 8:28 pm
(8:28:07 PM): we should still continue to badmouth each other. lol
Nathan 8:28 pm
(8:28:16 PM): ok :-D
finerhine 8:28 pm
(8:28:25 PM): that way nobody's suspicous. But I'm serious.
Nathan 8:28 pm
(8:28:31 PM): ya that'll work :-)
finerhine 8:28 pm
(8:28:35 PM): ok
(8:28:46 PM): well then...we need to win HOH. And we'll be okay.
(8:28:53 PM): then we can talk further.
Nathan 8:29 pm

[James Rhine]

My conversation with Amy and Nathan, after coming up with this plan with Nathan.

cheeseyamybelle has entered the room. 12:35 am
nathan3me has entered the room. 12:35 am
finerhine 12:36 am
(12:36:07 AM): hello
Amy 12:36 am

Nathan 12:36 am
(12:36:35 AM): hey
finerhine 12:36 am
(12:36:53 AM): so what I'm thinking is this...
Amy 12:36 am
(12:36:57 AM): ha.
(12:36:58 AM): whats up
(12:37:36 AM): /waits
Nathan 12:38 am
(12:38:08 AM): lol
finerhine 12:38 am
(12:38:09 AM): I don't want either of you to go out this week or anytime in the near future (;-) ) and so I'm hoping to possibly solidify something with you guys in preparation for the coming weeks...
Nathan 12:38 am
(12:38:31 AM): i like that :-)
finerhine 12:38 am
(12:38:32 AM): I know we have history (good and bad)...lol
Amy 12:38 am
(12:38:48 AM): yes. h
(12:38:52 AM): this does sound good.
finerhine 12:38 am
(12:38:55 AM): but the thing is I don't think ANYONE would expect us to be aligned after all of that.
Amy 12:39 am
(12:39:14 AM): true. they probably wouldnt.
Nathan 12:39 am
(12:39:15 AM): mhm
finerhine 12:39 am
(12:39:22 AM): so you're both cool?
Nathan 12:39 am
(12:39:30 AM): yes I am for sure :-)
finerhine 12:39 am
(12:39:34 AM): excellent
(12:39:38 AM): Cheesehead?
Amy 12:39 am
(12:39:41 AM): yes
Nathan 12:39 am
(12:39:43 AM): lol
Amy 12:39 am
(12:39:43 AM): im cool with this.
(12:39:44 AM): h
finerhine 12:39 am
(12:39:46 AM): alright
Amy 12:39 am
(12:39:47 AM): /thumbs up
finerhine 12:40 am
(12:40:00 AM): this is a good start...
Nathan 12:40 am
(12:40:10 AM): :-D
Amy 12:40 am
(12:40:23 AM): i think so too.
finerhine 12:40 am
(12:40:31 AM): good
(12:40:51 AM): I'm hoping before nominations to add more name to this little group so we have a majority
finerhine 12:40 am
(12:40:59 AM): *one more name
Amy 12:41 am
(12:41:11 AM): got anyone in mind?
finerhine 12:42 am
(12:42:02 AM): well that's what I was wanting to discuss...
Amy 12:42 am
(12:42:07 AM): yes h
finerhine 12:43 am
(12:43:30 AM): so suggestions?
Nathan 12:45 am
(12:45:31 AM): erika?
Amy 12:46 am
(12:46:15 AM): Yea.
finerhine 12:46 am
(12:46:21 AM): I actually had her in mind. lol
(12:46:35 AM): now here's what I think the plan should be...
(12:46:52 AM): I'm most likely going to nominate Sarah and Nakomis.
(12:47:08 AM): leaving for the replacement, Jee.
finerhine 12:47 am
(12:47:41 AM): then with you two and Erika's votes, hopefully we can send out either Sarah or Nakomis this week.
Nathan 12:47 am
(12:47:49 AM): :-)
(12:47:53 AM): that works
finerhine 12:48 am
(12:48:37 AM): Cheesehead?
Amy 12:48 am
(12:48:51 AM): Sorry I had to pee
finerhine 12:49 am
(12:49:03 AM): We'll have to talk to Erika at some point tomorrow...
Amy 12:49 am
(12:49:03 AM): Sure thing.
(12:49:04 AM): h
(12:49:08 AM): That works.
(12:49:09 AM): h
Nathan 12:49 am
(12:49:11 AM): ;-)
(12:49:19 AM): don't tell us about your
finerhine 12:49 am
(12:49:42 AM): haha
(12:51:14 AM): are either of you close enough to fill Erika in if you see her first, or should I do it?
Nathan 12:52 am
(12:52:48 AM): you or amy can lol
(12:52:51 AM):
finerhine 12:52 am
(12:52:54 AM): ok
(12:53:00 AM): that's fine. lol
(12:53:56 AM): I'm in love with this whole idea.
(12:53:58 AM): :-P
(12:54:32 AM): but it doesn't go outside of us four, noone else can know.
Nathan 12:54 am
(12:54:58 AM): lips are sealed :-)
finerhine 12:55 am
(12:55:09 AM): It's safer for us as a whole this way...I'll probably take the brunt of it should the one that stays wins HOH.
(12:55:16 AM): lol
finerhine 12:57 am
(12:57:29 AM): ok guys. thanks a lot.
(12:58:06 AM): I'll look for Erika tomorrow.
Nathan 12:58 am
(12:58:28 AM): ok :-)
(12:58:31 AM): thanks Jamesy ;-)
finerhine 12:58 am
(12:58:53 AM): no problem. I'm glad we are able to move past the past. haha.


Yes, people will be suprised. Possibly a little pissed. But someone's got to go up and someone's got to go home. This plan is a pretty solid one in my opinion...bringing Amy and Erika into a final 4 (if it works out to that point) would be very beneficial for myself and Nathan to win those next HOH competitions.

[James Rhine]

I have to be the best and worst player in URTV all rolled into one. haha.
I'm sort of a wildcard now, liable to do anything at all. Literally nobody is safe when I'm in charge of making decisions...lol.

I'm not sure if that style of gameplay is working for me or not. I'm willing to work with Nathan, but he's still so shady. He knew who had which numbers during the veto competition and practically handed the veto to Nakomis...idiot.

[James Rhine]

So I'm the idiot apparently...I'm just hoping that Nathan gives me the same opportunity I gave him and a pass to the final 5...that would be nice...even if it means losing Jee or Amy this week.

Nakomis and I talked, we're not enemies or anything like that, but I still expect her to want me out.

Amy says that Nathan is mad at her. I can't imagine why. He was the one who was lying and everyone knows about it. I'm just hoping that Nathan believes that I'm dumb enough to believe him.

I've been telling everyone though that I should have put him up instead of Jee. haha. If he hears about it, I could be in trouble....BUT when we made the agreement to work together, I told him I was still going to badmouth him so that it seems like nothing had changed between us to the outsiders...

[James Rhine]

We're down to five, soon to be four...it's a scary time.

I'm glad that Jee won HOH. I told him I'd be okay going up as a nominee as long as Amy was voting to keep me in, and Jee getting to break the tie if possible. But he nominated Nakomis and Nathan instead, which is good. Now the only thing that we have to do is keep Nathan from winning the veto. This is probably our last chance to toss his ass.

I'm hoping that if a nominee wins veto, and saves themselves that Amy goes up and not me...and then we can still get rid of Nathan or Nakomis. We'll see what happens...but I want the veto so bad! I would not use it, and then me and Amy could vote Nathan out of the game. That would be sweet, I wonder how he'd react...

[James Rhine]

Nathan is out, joyous day!!

Nakomis won final 4 HOH which is probably the best thing that could have happened besides me winning it. I think if I end up on the block, both Jee and Amy will want to keep me in the game.

Also Nakomis I think just implied that she wants me to advance to next week.

[James Rhine]

So I didn't think Amy was going to need to take this long deciding whether to evict me or Jee...she said she wanted to know where we stand for next week. I had to actually use the words "I will take you to the final 2". So I guess now, I gotta keep that promise should I win.
