Wow... this is going to be a crazy game. I am SUPER excited for tomorrow's HoH challenge. I can't say that I really want to win it, but I am definitely ready for it to come. I hope to learn a lot about the other payers from the challenge. Some of the players aren't very talkative, but those who have talked to me seem great. Here are some thoughts on some players in particular:
Rachel- I made an alliance with her. She said she doesn't do final 2 alliances, which made me somewhat wary of her. I like her though, and I will be truthful with her so I hope she does the same. Really, I just wish I could find someone who I trusted to give a final 2 pact to. I am a man of my words, but Rachel still scares me a bit. We'll see what happens.
Janelle- Let me just say, she scares me! I love her to death, but I think she could be potentially fatal. I wouldn't be surprised by anything she did. She seems like she's here to have fun and stir the pot. Luckily, she offered an alliance with me and Rachel, so I snatched it up pretty quickly. I don't know how I feel about it, but I feel that it's safer to be on her good side. She's a firecracker! I do think that she and Rachel are pretty tight, which scares me. I already made an alliance with Rachel, but Janelle just assumed Rachel would join us, which makes me think that they are already tight. I don't want to hop into something in which I am the odd guy out. They might be useful for now though, so we'll see what happens.
Eddie- Great guy. Seems very level headed. If I could pick one person to be in alliance with right now, it'd be him. I already made a pact with Rachel and now Janelle though, so I don't want to start forming alliances faster than I can count. They will catch up with me and bite me in the ass if I don't proceed with caution. Eddie could be a great potential ally though. I will definitely try to stick with him and keep him around.
Will- He's great too. I had a very good time talking with him, and conversation seemed to come easily. I think he is going to be a tough competitor, but I like the guy. We'll see what happens with him as well. He's definitely a potential ally as well.
Drew- Well... I told Drew I had his back, but not in an alliance type way. He was kind of upset that he couldn't make the challenge, so I told him I would keep him informed if he ended up being mentioned for possible nomination. I like the guy, but he did something to piss Janelle off. I couldn't let her know that I was in a sort of pact with him, so we'll see what happens. At this point, he's a cool guy, but not someone that I want to make any long term alliance with. At least not now.
Everyone else seemed to be not very talkative. Scott was cool, but I want to get to talk to him more. Jess was nice too, but not very talkative. Jen and Mike both kinda gave me a cold shoulder, so I won't bother with them. If they are up for nomination, I'd have no problem seeing them go.
Well, so far it's been a lot of fun and it's only the beginning. I can't wait to see where this goes, and I hope that I can stick around for a long time. Winning would be great, but I want to play this game one step at at time.
Peace out,
Dave

Morning of the first HoH challenge...
I just woke up and I feel like shit. At least I have the challenge to look forward to today. Rachel caught me as soon as I got online. I was happy to see her on since I didn't get to talk to her last night.
She seems cool with the 3 person alliance of me, her, and Janelle. I feel a lot safer with Rachel than Janelle. I just think that she is less dangerous, but I am still a bit suspicious of the two of them together. I think I can trust them though, and as long as they don't see me as a super threat, I don't see why they would target me from the beginning.
I'm still starting to think that I jumped in too early. If only I'd have waited one more day, I would be much more comfortable in an alliance with Eddie and Will. They don't seem as dangerous. Like I said before though, being on Janelle and Rachel's side might be a good thing though as long as they trust me. If I do find that I can trust them though, I think I am golden. They are great players and I like them a lot. I PRAY that I can just trust them. I guess we will find out soon enough! Bring on the HoH challenge!

I won. I won the first Head of House! I still don't believe it!!! Wow, it was a crazy challenge and I somehow came out as HoH. Holy freaking crap! (end of celebration  ) So, what to do with the power. Well, first up, I got access to the basement, which is great. Between myself, Janie, and Rachel, if we win a lot of challenges then we can crack those codes in no time, giving us even more power. Only problem is, can I trust them? The more I talk to them, the more I think I can. Rachel especially. Janie is a firecracker, for sure, but she's so cool. I have a feeling that even if she backstabs me, I will have a hard time hating her for it. Anyways, I'm with them, and sticking with them. No backing out now. Let me just get some thoughts out about some people before I discuss what I will do with my HoH nominating ability... AmandaCan I just ask a question... Why the heck did she pick me so much in the challenge? I never once made any sort of alliance with her and she just started picking me like every round! I mean, it was great, but then it just got annoying. Every time she would pick me, she'd give me orders for who to pick next. Luckily, it was Janie 2 of the times, but still! Now everyone thinks I am in an alliance with Amanda and Janie (only half true). Then, whenever I finally get to pick Amanda and tell her who to pick next, SHE DOESN'T LISTEN! What the heck! That bothered me. But, since she somehow thinks I am in her back pocket, I am going to use it to my advantage. I want her gone though. She is manipulative! I will keep her by my side for now, since she likes Janie, but when the time comes, she is toast! She also backstabbed Rachel in the challenge which gives me even more reason to go after her later. Thanks for HoH though Amanda. *wink wink* JoshCan I just say... what the crap? In the challenge, he asked me if I would pick him to win if he eliminated me. After telling him no and explaining that I had to do the obvious thing and pay back Amanda for picking me through the whole thing (even though I really didn't want to pick her to win, it seemed to be the smart move), he got mad at me. Then, when I went to tell him that he would be safe, he bitched me out! That was the end of that. If he wanted to get mad at me whenever Amanda picked me over him, then that's just bull crap. His butt can be voted out for all I care. He needs to get the heck out of the house if he is going to go around whining for the dumbest things when I did NOTHING to him except tell him I would pick Amanda. Plus, if they were working together (which seemed obvious), why should he care that she would get HoH instead of him. Well, he made a mistake in picking me to go through, because now his butt is getting nominated. The second nominee...I really didn't know what to do. I went with Scott in the end, hoping that he would survive and hoping he wouldn't hold a grudge against me. From who l talked to, I think we have a good chance of getting Josh out though, assuming he doesn't win veto. So far, Janie, Rachel, Jess, and Mike are voing Josh for sure if he gets through and isn't vetoed. I think I can convince Drew to vote him. That makes 5 for sure out of 13. Hopefully another 2 will go after him. I feel bad for Scott though. He's a nice guy. At this point though, nobody else seemed to jump out at me as an option. There are some people I wouldn't mind seeing go, but I just need to get Josh and Amanda out of here for now. If Josh or Scott are vetoed...I will probably replace either of them with Amanda. If Scott is vetoed, that would be AMAZING. I don't want him to go in the first place. He is just a convenient decoy. To get Josh and Amanda both up for eviction would guarantee that one of them is gone. On the other hand, one of them would be super pissed at me and out for blood. Oh well, I can manage. If Josh is vetoed though, I don't know whether Amanda is the best choice or not. I would want a guarantee that she is gone. Otherwise, I have 2 terribly pissed off people who were working together at least at one point. I guess we'll see what happens. Well, that's all for now. I am super tired. It's been a long day. Peace. |

The morning after the chaos...
Well, at least my heart has stopped pounding out of my chest. The more I think about it, the more I am happy that I got HoH. I just really need to get Josh out of here. I pray to God that nobody who will use veto on him can win this upcoming challenge. As long as Josh stays up for eviction, I think this can be pulled off successfully.
I still have yet to hear back from Drew. I need to convince him to vote Josh or keep Josh up for eviction if he happens to win veto. Same goes for Eddie. I hope he will listen to me as well. Both of them seemed to like me, but who knows how much of it is just them playing the game. If they are both loyal to me though, that makes my job even easier. *crosses fingers*
Well... let's see what happens tonight at the veto!

After the Veto challenge...Well, I am pretty sure that Janelle won veto, which would ROCK if it were the case. I don't think she's going to use it, but I have yet to talk to her. The challenge was quite challenging, especially considering that my knowledge of Big Brother facts is about zilch. I had to look up every single answer. Not too bad, considering I think I came in second place. I've talked to ALMOST everyone about my nominations. Seems that things are looking positive for getting Josh out first round. I just pray that everyone (or at least the majority of the people) is being honest with me. There are a lot of great people here, but who knows which ones are just playing me. I feel bad knowing that I will have to play some of them if I want to win or just get my alliance further. Gosh I hope I can trust Rachel and Janie. The more I talk to them, the more I feel I can, but I always have these moments of paranoia. "Just trust them," I keep telling myself. It would really suck to get screwed by them, since I really do like them both as people a lot. I really want to see one of us win (preferably me ) but any of us three would be great. So... here are some more thoughts about certain people... WillGot to talk to him a lot tonight. Seems like a really cool guy. I thought that originally, and it's starting to seem more and more true that he's really nice and seemingly trustworthy. I think that he trusts me too, which is good. I feel bad if I have to screw him over, but I've gotta stick to my original alliance, unless of course they backstab me. In that case, Will could be a great guy to fall back on (Sorry that you have to be a backup plan, Will!). Anyways, he is going to try to get Drew in with him, which I have been trying to do as well. Who knows, maybe this will be a safe little side alliance for me. Plus, he likes Eddie, whom I also like. If will does all the work of bringing a small alliance together, you'd better believe I will hop on that! Best of all, he trusts Rachel, which is just another benefit to me. Which moves me to my next person.... Rachel. RachelRachel is like my rock in this game. She keeps me sane and on my feet. I'm glad to have aligned with her. Luckily, nobody seems to suspect us as an alliance, which is great. She is getting inside info for me, and I will hopefully be able to do the same for her when she is HoH or when she might have developed any enemies. I've already been able to let her know that Amanda wants her out (just another reason I need to get after Amanda next). Rachel is a great player, and with me and Janie, the three of us could do a lot of damage. We are all such different people with different styles, that we mesh well and have a lot of bases covered to help us go far. If only we can stick together without backstabbing. Gosh I hope that they really are with me!!! JessCool girl. I would love to see her stick around. We have the common thread of wanting Amanda out, so that's a plus. And, she's quite set on getting Josh out as well. For those two reasons, I've gotta love her. I think she is being genuine with me, and we have a lot of fun when we talk. Let's just hope she isn't using her flirt card with me, because I could totally see that. I mean, I'll admit I am throwing the charm at her. After all, she is the ONLY girl. What else can I do. Haha. Jess is good though. She might be a good ally later when things get rough. JoshNeed I say anything? He talked my ear off today, and even though it was a lot more calm that I had expected, it annoyed the heck out of me. He kept saying that I am playing a dumb game and crap. If he only knew who my true allies are. So maybe I am making mistakes, but I am at least playing the game and not whining like him. I've made some risks, and they will either pay off big time in the end or get me out. Either way, I don't see why he says I am playing a stupid game. Whatever, I can't let it bother me since that's what he wants. We'll see who's playing the better game when he ends up the first one evicted. Then I can really rub it in. Though, I probably won't because that would mean that I have to listen to him bitch some more. Well... other than that... it's a waiting game from here. I just need to see if Janie is using veto. If she is, I have some pondering to do. Likely, I'll go with Amanda... but that could be dangerous. It might be a risk worth taking though. Who knows. I'm tired. Peace out. Dave

If Janie uses the veto... which she said she wouldnt... but if she does, then I nominate Amanda.
Amanda- I nominated you as a replacement because you have been playing EVERYONE. Though you did give me HoH, you were constantly telling me what to do during the challenge, and I got sick of it. Then, when I asked you to return the favor and pick a certain person for the chain, you didn't listen. How can I trust you if you are the one giving all the orders and then can't return the favor? Plus, you feed off of everyone else and can't even play the game for yourself.
