Week 2

[James Rhine]

From Libra to Enzo (Enzo gave me this)

They feel threatened about you the most. Trust no one and play smart. I'm sure you know that already but just a reminder. Lori thinks she will be the last one standing from blue camp so she can fly under the radar while being a shady bitch and James is telling the rookies how to play the game.

Damn right I'm telling the rookies how to play the game.

Jk, all I really did was tell all the sheep how I was voting, backed it up with reason, and they followed suit. Karen even said, "I'll vote Libra too since you're doing it." or something to that nature. All the houseguests prob used me as a scapegoat for why they voted the way they did, when in actuality, I voted to evict Josh. It's really silly how all these fools can't make their own minds up. If this is the case, they're all literally standing in line to get slaughtered.

Lori and Enzo are close. I can feel it. I need to cut one of them off. And soon. We'll see how I'm feeling.

If I win HoH, I'm thinking a combo of Cassandra and Rachel, or Russell and Rachel. Idk, I'm prob gonna have to get rid of as many of those Pearl contestants as possible.

Maybe I won't be in that position. We'll see how it all works out.

BBPearl contestants I'm aware of:

Cassandra (host)
Jen
Shelly
Rachel
Libra

I like that Russell won HoH. It makes me feel nervous. I think Jen winning would've put an even bigger target on the winners.

I have a feeling Russell might go after the winners anyway. All my extensive "hello's" better've paid off

[James Rhine]

So Russell made his nominations. I wasn't able to talk to him, and by the time I got home his nominations were already up. So I scroll down slowly, and freak out because I didn't get my key in the nomination ceremony. But then he says, "As you can see, I've nominated April and Cassandra" and so I was like "Oh, I'm your backdoor replacement. Cool gotcha."

Russell did a smart move and nominated based on communication (lack thereof). I still feel uncomfortable with him in that power. So I just have to make sure I frequent conversations with him to ensure my safety. Yet not come off too fishy...it's a weird balance. Hopefully I find it with this guy. He's super dry in convo, it's hard...

Also, don't think I let Josh off the hook. You put me high on your list for the HoH comp? I got you. I'm a spiteful SOB, I def won't forget that.

Post Veto Ceremony Thoughts

Russell had total control this week. And I'm glad he went about his week safely. But man, there's only so many inactives. Soon Jee, Josh, and Tonya, THEN who? We can't have this pecking order based on activity level, that's just silly. We're down to 14 soon, and it'll be time to make some cut throat decisions.

Russell's a threat. He's proven himself to be a strong competitor. But he also shared a personal story about him being adopted and finding his biological family through facebook. Which, kudos, that's the coolest thing ever. But in the context of this game, I still don't sense that warmth from him that makes me trust him.

Lori said she wants to talk soon because she feels the house is playing her. I don't do well with "Pity-me" conversations, but we'll see how it goes. Lori's not in any of my future plans at all when it comes to this game.
