Week 2: 2 Down, 13 to Go

[James Rhine]

OMG I WON HOH!!!!!!!! nobody knows how much this means to me since this is my first ORG. i just wanted to prove myself to lawon and jeff and lisa since i told them this is my first ORG and i can hold my own.
So Erika and Jase are now out. Jase, I'm kind of pissed off that he got expelled from the house. He was going to be one of my noms since I believed he was soo inactive and nobody would give two shits about him leaving. But since he's gone, I guess i gotta think of someone new. Hearing that Amy, Daniele, Janelle, Jase, Memphis, and Drew didn't compete, I'm most likely nominating them. I'm probably going to nominate Amy, Janelle, or Drew. However, I'm planning to use one of them as a pawn. I really wanna get Memphis out of here.
To be honest, Memphis is a frikken idiot. He can't socialize. He asks to be in an alliance with me, jeff, and lawon. But he doesn't even talk to us. I still don't trust him as far as I can throw him. And he didn't even compete in the HoH. Jeff sent me a convo between him and memphis:

dizaznboifly: (11:33:58 PM) dizaznboifly 4:06 pm
what happened in the HoH comp man!
Memphis Garrett 4:06 pm
what do you mean
dizaznboifly 4:06 pm
on BBLV? lol
did you do it?
Memphis Garrett 4:07 pm
i thought that ended later today

this just reinforces that he's an idiot. hopefully whoever wins veto I can talk them into saving one of them. Let backdooring Memphis commence. I'll work on getting the votes sometime soon. We can easily get 6. Lawon, Jeff, Lisa, Daniele, Steven (maybe), and maybe cassi. let's do this. peace out memphis. that'll teach u to be a shitty alliance member.

kay soo winning HoH does have its perks. I'm safe, my alliance is safe, but then the question comes with nominations. I wanna get Memphis out rite now. I was thinking backdoor or straight up nomination in my head. In my head, I know i have lisa, jeff, lawon, daniele (if she votes), and hopefully cassi cuz i talked to her about it. But when i was talking to lawon about it, he brought up a good point. Backdooring someone in general or nominating an alliance member is like wayyy too flashy and too big for right now. It'll make me come off as sneaky and shady especially since this is week 2. If i do that, I might as well just draw a big X on my back for the rest of my time in the house. I may just play it safe this week since it is only week 2. Its just so conflicting. Oh well I guess there is always a time to nominate and backdoor someone. Hopefully Memphis just ends up on the nom block sometime soon. >.<

Wow! I can't believe it's now jury rounds. It kinda sucks that Amy, Janelle, Drew, and Daniele were eliminated just because those were easy nominations. Like the target wouldn't be on my back for a couple nominations >.<. And to make it worse, Daniele was a fellow Guardianship member. Looks like me, Lawon, and Lisa gotta hold down the front now. What also sucks is it was kind of harder to nominate people. Originally in my head, Rachel and Dominic were safe. But with the whole expulsion thing, it kind of shook up my decision. Like the only people I was actually considering were Rachel, Dominic, and Memphis. But because me and memphis are in an "alliance" i had to keep him safe. But I already know, if someone comes off the block, I would have to put up Memphis. It may or may not be the smartest move because he knows who I am in a different ORG. So if somehow he gets pissed off at me, I'm fucked in another ORG. But what's gotta be done has to be done. I already promised cassi she was safe, and she was the only other one up for consideration. Looks like Memphis is going up if someone wins veto. Hell he may go up if I win veto. ^_^
While talking to Jeff, he also brought up a good point. He brought up that Lisa is a legit contender. She definitely knows how to play the game so I'm happy that I aligned myself with her. However, at the same time, I know I gotta watch my back. Right now, she's playing under the radar which could be smart. Let other people do the dirty work then strike at the most opportune moment. It's mad smart since she doesn't have any of the blood on her hand. It makes me think that we have to get Lisa out at least by the final 4. It not something that I would be proud of, but hey, it mite have to be done :/

honestly i decided to keep noms how they are. right now, jeff has the highest score I think becuz he got 450,000. hopefully that's enough for him to win. cuz I know that if he wins, he'll keep the votes the same. Because as much as I actually don't wanna do it, Memphis would have to go up as a replacement. I know what you guys are thinking, why the change of heart about Memphis. I spent all this time saying I don't trust him and everything. But now that he's in jury round that got me thinking. I think I have a good chance for making final 2. However, if Memphis goes out in this round becuase he's a replacement, that's one jury vote for me that's gone. I have to start thinking about the future. I need to be on Memphis's good side so I can get a vote from him if I do end up making it.
Another interesting thing also happened this week. Steven offered me an alliance with him and Cassi. Obviously I can't say no. How bad would that sound?? That's like an automatic bad side from Steven and Cassi. So I HAD to say yes. Now I know what you guys are probably thinking. I'm playing the game from all sides of the house. I actually think that could be beneficial on my part. I'll always have someone looking out for me so I think I'll be safe. So far, I'm in an alliance with Lawon and Lisa (the Guardianship), one with Lawon, Jeff, and Memphis. And now I'm in an alliance with Steven and Cassi. I'm basically aligned with everyone except Rachel and Dom. If all my allies stay secret about the alliance, I think I'll be safe. However, if word gets out that I'm playing all sides of the house,....I potentially mite be screwed.

[James Rhine]

DAMNIT Rachel ended up winning >.<!!! i really didn't wanna do what I did but I had to do it. I'd rather lose one vote than lose say 2 (steven and cassi). I just hope it doesn't screw me over in the other ORG. We'll see how long it takes until Memphis will start complaining to me. Well, my first idea was to backdoor Memphis since week 1....looks like that's actually gonna happen.

[James Rhine]

backdooring memphis has commenced nd was successful looks like i have most of the house on my side
