Week 1 - Enzo's back... back again.

[Enzo Palumbo]

Welll... here I am. Once again in the BB Recycled House. It feels good to be back in a familiar and comfortable place Although, I still can't believe I let you talk me into playing again, Julie. lol Oh wait... You didn't talk me into it. You just said I was playing. That's alright though. I'm here to show these noobs how it's done!

I was also skeptical to see Jen and James back in the house since I don't have the greatest history with them but we are all seasoned and experienced players who are smart enough to know that we need each other right now. That's very evident. Lori, I loved watching her play back in season 9 and I'm looking forward to playing with her here. Seeing how we are all winners, I can tell already that the rest of the houseguests are going to be very wary of us and possibly intimidated. That already puts us at a big disadvantage but if we failed in the face of adversity, we wouldn't be winners or allstar material, now would we?


I'm curious as to what twists lay ahead too. 4 winners coming in is NOT the only beginning twist to the game. I think it may possibly be another "clique" twist or perhaps we are captains of our rooms? Something to that effect. But who knows really... I expect some major curveballs thrown at us. I just need to stay cool and play how I know I can. I'm probably considered the biggest threat in the game. Not even having a big head here either. I'm a unanimous Allstar winner and in 1st place on the all time Recycled rankings. If that isn't intimidating and scary, then idk what is. Bring it on, Julie! <3



I'll post about the houseguests later tonight once I get a chance to talk to all or most of them.

[Enzo Palumbo]

Yep, I was right about the twist. Not very hard to figure out though. Hopefully I'm not stuck with a bunch of failures. They all seem competent enough. Well, maybe not Tonya. She appears to be our team slut/mascot. She can sit there and suck us off while we do the work.

But seriously, why did you bring us back Julie? To make complete fools of us? >
That's what it seems like since the TWC is at a total disadvantage. We are already the main targets and watch us get picked off one by one. That should be good for a laugh. One of us needs that first HoH. It better be something good! lol Alright, I'll be back to talk some shit about the houseguests later.

[Enzo Palumbo]

--- The Winners Club ---

Lori - Lori is awesome. Her and I had a good talk last night about we want to take this seriously and we most certainly don't want to be the first ones out. That would be lame as fuck and just a joke. We agree that we are the logical ones and James/Jen are the jokesters that don't take things very seriously at all. lol Lori is going to be someone I can rely on for sure.

James - Him and I talked about getting past all the stuff we've gone through before and like I've said already, we are all smart. He knows we need each other and honestly, when James and I were on good terms, we worked great together. So I'd like to pick that back up for now. Of course, that will change later on in the game should we both last but I need the guy right now.

Jen - Ohh Jen. We have never really gotten along. She was jealous of how awesome and dominate I am and she just plain annoyed me. But we have to get past that shit and she knows it. She needs me more than I need her and that's okay too. I will back her up for the time being but if she starts throwing me under the bus then it's on like Donkey Kong! Even she can't be that dumb though. She isn't as popular with this group of people.



--- Gold Team ---

Rachel - LOVE Rachel! She's hilarious and probably the newbie that I've connected the most with. So far we have barely talked about the game at all and just bullshitted. I can tell she is going to be the social queen of the game. I see her going far. But connections like this are going to be KEY for me to survive in this game.

Russell - He seems like a cool guy. Not very talkative, at least not with me. But he doesn't seem to be standoff-ish or anything either which is good. I'm hoping for him to step up and win some comps to help me out. I need to gain a better rapport with him though so the trust is there.

Tonya - Never talked to her on AIM at all. I don't think anyone has. I can see her being a nominee for sure if people want to play legit and go after inactives. Although, she's only inactive on aim. She has been sluttin' around on the boards since the game started. People don't like that. lol Hell, I don't like that if you're not going to get your fat ass on AIM bitch! So annoying. But she's on my team so I have to deal with her. I don't see her winning shit either which sucks but whatevs.


--- Noobs I like ---


Karen - Karen is very down to earth and sweet. I can see her winning this game for sure. She just has something that makes her easy to like. Idk what it is but it will work for her. We're in the same room so that helps me out if she were to win HoH, AND she's not on the Gold Team which is actually a plus. I am going to try and use her to get info. Maybe she talks to people that won't tell me shit. I see good things from her though.

Shelly - Shelly is fucking hilarious. I love the "Momma" role she's playing. It's all for jokes. Only an idiot would truly take her seriously. Here is the first thing she said to me on aim:

Shelly: if this kitty needs any milk i have some in my breast

Lmfao like wtf? I'll play along with her all damn day. We already connected pretty well over TV and movies which is awesome because she likes some of the same shows I do. Here is another connection that I'll need. I don't see her winning much either but definitely will have a voice I think. We'll see...

Kalia - At first, I thought Kalia was just kissing my butt big time but after talking to her more, she is probably one of my favorite people in this whole game. She seems truly genuine and we have lots in common so our conversations are never boring at all. I would like to trust her in this game but we'll have to talk more gameplay. But for right now, I'm just enjoying her company a lot. She seems like my kind of chick.

--- On the fence about ---

Cassandra - Cassandra seemed nice. But it also seemed fake too? I can't explain it but there was something not genuine about her. I have heard she also has her bff in the game too. Libra? That will just not fly. Apparently they host a series together. Umm... yeah, Enzo doesn't like that. One of them can stay but not both. I'm keeping my eye on her.

Jee - I've only talked to Jee through PM's and it seems that's how much people have communicated with him so far. He seems nice but I'll know more once he gets his ass on AIM. I'm gonna play it cool with him though and be his "bro"

April - Wow April sure talks too much!..... NOT! She im'ed me when the first twist was announced, said hi how are you, that kinda shit. Then she wanted to know about the game because "it was her first time playing"... Now this caught me off guard. Why the fuck would she say this? Did she mean her first time playing EVER? or in the series? Something very shady about this person. I just can't put my finger on it yet. Anyways, she sucks at talking. I told her a bit about the series and what I thought and then she never said a word again. -____- Fine! Fuck off April. You get one more chance to change my mind about you.


--- Targets ---



Josh - Josh was cool to talk to BUT we talked for like 5 minutes and then he just stopped. That tells me that he was busy talking to other people either about Me or the Vets in general. He's scared.

Drew - Okay. I don't like Drew. He seems like the kind of guy to already be telling people what they want to hear. He im'ed me and we literally talked for like 2-3 minutes. I can't carry the fucking conversation all by myself here! But yeah, I know he's been telling people he wants the vets out because well... Some of these noobs like me more than him and are already telling me shit! lmfao Fuck you Drew. If I win HoH, your ass is grass.

Libra - Cassandra's bff so I hear... and has yet to get on aim. I haven't seen her say shit on the board except "Good luck. You WILL need it." Oh really Libra? Seems like you're going to need the luck with your non existent social game. I want this bitch out ASAP. I have no time for idiots OR shenanigans.

[Enzo Palumbo]

So I just turned in HoH and I don't have a good feeling about it. I am pretty sure I won't win this. So my only hope is either Jen, James, Lori or my Gold Team wins. That's about it. The only other person who probably won't put me up is Karen and that's because we share the same room but even that isn't 100%. Ughh.... This is gonna be ugly. But I have to keep up hope and support the people I'm working with so they don't know how grim I think it's looking.

Lol Please don't let me be an epic failure and get first boot like that Pathetic Loser Dustin! That's all I ask for right now!

[Enzo Palumbo]

Holy shit! I won! ;D

Enzo will NOT be a first boot and TWC survives week one
Now I'm going to be smooth with this first HoH. Not make a bad decision and get on peoples good sides. Make some initial deals, if I can and see what happens. This is awesome though. You can't push the Meow Meow around! The asskissing has already begun. hahaha

More later

[Enzo Palumbo]

When I said let the asskissing begin, I didn't think it would be as bad as it was. But damnnn these people sure were quick to get on their knees and pucker up! Some of them are better at it than others. Ironically, the two of the ladies with the biggest lips were the best. Cassandra and Kalia Lol

I found it hilarious they were just agreeing with everything I said and omg every IM I sent was just sooo awesome and they had a smile for everything! lol I didn't think people would be so transparent this fast. I love being first HoH though. Some people don't want the target on their back but when you've already got a bullseye on you, it really can't get any bigger. Plus, as first HoH you can make deals and get people to tell you you're safe next week. Which is exactly what I did with a few people. April told me that without me having to ask! hahaha What a dummy.

I made an alliance with Russell even though we are on the same team it's not like he could do anything to me anyways but it was the way I approached him that made it work out even better. I pretty much told him that I would "love his input" which made him open up to me. So like I said before, there was one thing I wanted to do. Gain a rapport and some trust with Russell. Done and done.

Another deal would be with Drew. This kid is paranoid as fuck, let me tell you. lol He was practically having an anxiety attack right in front of me. haha Poor baby Drew. All he needed was a hug and a pat on the back.

Here is part of the convo where you can tell he's scared:

Drew: Congrats on HOH!
Enzo Palumbo: lol thanks! im kinda shocked tbh
Drew: Haha I sucked at this comp, haha.
Drew : First HOH is usually based on who talks with who, right? xD
Enzo Palumbo: I guess it depends on who is hoh. I usually like to see who is active and who i've talked to and gotten to know etc
Enzo Palumbo: just to be fair ya know.
Drew : Yeah...so I'm in danger? lol
Enzo Palumbo:
Enzo Palumbo: do you feel like you are?
Drew: Sort of..I mean..you and I haven't really spoken that much (sorry btw :/)
Enzo Palumbo: thats okay. Its hard when theres so many people.
Drew: Yeah, I just hope you don't put me up bc of the lack of communication between you and I...I know for sure that it'll definitely increase. Yup.
Enzo Palumbo: well as the game goes on communication has to be key and im sure it would go up yeah. I am more looking at who has been on, active, who I vibe with etc
Drew (5:13:02 PM): right, right.




A little while later:


Enzo Palumbo : so hey I wanted to talk to you about noms and stuff
Drew : I'm all ears
Enzo Palumbo : I can tell that you are concerned about going up and honestly, I have talked to you more than a few people. If its about being social with me, you dont have to be afraid to talk to me man. lol
Enzo Palumbo : Im pretty laid back
Drew : Oh, does it show? Haha...and I was just intimidated at first bc ya know...vets..haha...but yeah you seem like a chill person
Enzo Palumbo : yeah, I figured some people would be like omg vets! But I came in to have fun and just get to know people. A couple of the vets and I don't really get along that well either. There is history there so its not like we are all buddy buddy
Drew : right...I haven't talked to all of the 'Newbs' yet but I'm guessing few are under the impression that you 4 are in an alliance.
Enzo Palumbo : yeah that isnt the case. lol ew Read the past seasons. Me and Jen like fought all the time
Drew : Hahah were you two in All-stars together?
Enzo Palumbo : yeah and we were against each other all game long. she got backdoored by James!
Enzo Palumbo : so i mean, yeah... we arent one big happy vet family or anything
Drew : Haha right. Well, I'm excited to see the secrets of this game unravel and the alliances start to form...and then break down later on. so exciting. xD
Enzo Palumbo : but I'd like us to be cool and talk more if you're willing. Hopefully if you win hoh, you can return the favor to me :-)
Drew : I'd definitely like to talk more with you....and if I win HOH, you are safe :-D
Enzo Palumbo : thanks man and remember, i dont bite. so you can talk to me anytime ;-)
Drew : lol alright I'll remember that from now on.
Enzo Palumbo : sounds good dude and ill do the same
Drew : alright :-D




So yeah, I thought it would be smarter to make a potential ally out of him rather than an enemy. It was fairly easy too. A little too easy. Not sure if he's just dumb and gullible or just as calculating as I am. Hmm... I guess we'll find out.


Anyways, I think it's funny that Lori wants me to nominate people in her camp. I know why too. She wants the target on her back to get smaller and that would totally happen if she had less people on her team. Makes sense. I think everyone in the TWC wouldn't mind having a smaller bullseye on them. I might be the only one who doesn't mind it and now being first HoH, I think my bullseye has grown a bit. Ohh welll.... I'm not going to start sucking just to seem weak. Not how I play!


That's about it for the most notable stuff from after the HoH. Everything else was pretty chill. I'll have nominations up in a little while after I eat and shower!

[Enzo Palumbo]

Josh's bitchass trying to give me a guilt trip Lol what a fool. First off, I don't give a fuck if he's sick. It's January, everyone is sick. Idiot. Secondly, this is motherfucking Recycled. If you can't take the heat, get the fuck outta the kitchen yo.



Enzo Palumbo: hi
Enzo Palumbo : are you mad?
Josh : well, disappointed is more the word
Enzo Palumbo : did you read my PM?
Josh : yes
Josh : you should have sent me a PM before. i've been sick the past couple of days and didnt have the strength to get on AIM and chat full blown convos
Josh : but i did check in every day
Josh : and even congratulated you on your win
Enzo Palumbo : aw well Im sorry. I didnt know. Its not like it was an easy decision for me. I just didnt have much to go off of :-(
Josh : this is my first recycled game. in fact i think i told you that. there are a TON of people who have played before.... at least give me a chance :-\
Enzo Palumbo a ton have played before? like that are in this game?
Enzo Palumbo : besides the 4 that came in?
Josh yeah i am pretty sure there are others who have played in recycled series before
Josh : as different people of course
Enzo Palumbo: Ohh I didnt know that. Im gonna find that out and ask Julie
Josh : ok. i am not 100% sure, but i am pretty sure there are
Josh: cause i've had several people ask if ive played in the series before
Enzo Palumbo hmm well Julie would know if thats true or not.
Enzo Palumbo : Anyways, I am sorry man. If you want to hate me I guess Ill understand. But like I said it was hard and everyone else was talking to me like crazy :-\
Enzo Palumbo : but i meant what i said in my pm
Josh : i dont hate you lol
Josh : i know its part of the game
Josh : i just wish that maybe you would have sent me a PM yesterday or something, i would have answered that
Josh: hopefully libra stays inactive tho and goes home
Enzo Palumbo : no, youre right I should have sent one to you. Or you couldve sent me one saying you werent going to be around and stuff.
Enzo Palumbo : i think it was just miscommunication though
Josh : yeah i know, its half my fault too lol
Enzo Palumbo : both of ours
Enzo Palumbo : I hope she does too, honestly.
Josh : easy first vote off lol
Enzo Palumbo : yep and I think as long as youre around, its a no brainer for people
Josh : well thanks for the encouragement :-)


Like wtf? Why is it MY job to comfort this kid after he's trying to make me feel bad? Then he has the NERVE to tell me I should've put up someone who's played before? Like there are others besides the vets? Again I say, What the fuck? I'm the HoH and it should not be me who has to act like his Big Brother. (No pun intended) Anyways, if Libra wasn't such a twat burger, I'd want Josh out instead because he is one of the people that is too hung up on this vet shit. It's annoying as hell.

[Enzo Palumbo]

Thank you Libra Fuckhead Thompson for proving exactly why I nominated you. Don't sign in for a few days and you get the boot for being an inactive cock knocker! I hope you let people actually vote her ass out though. I'm interested to see who will and who is gonna be shady and try to keep her. *cough*Cassandra*cough* lol

PoV was rather simple and if you've got experience on your side, it's a no-brainer as far as how to play it. Especially if you're me. I don't want a nom coming off and then I have to replace. That would suck balls and not something I want to do. If I happen to win, I will explain to everyone that it's not a big deal to be put down as Foe and I don't consider any of them to be my foe. (Yet) Lol It's just a competition but I'm sure a couple of them will get butthurt. Whatevs.

[Enzo Palumbo]

So Drew wins veto and I guess I shouldn't be shocked but I kind of am that almost everyone else picked Foe. It wasn't hard to figure out that was the best strategy in order to win. Especially since we couldn't talk about it with anyone. I am totally fine with Drew winning it too because I knew he wasn't going to use it. He seems like a smart guy who realized it's not wise to step on any toes this early AND because I think the vote will be fairly obvious. I'm relieved I didn't win it either. I'm already a crazy major threat in the game so winning both comps week 1 would've been BAD.


In other news, I have another alliance!



Karen : A few of us have been talking and when I say a few I mean Drew, myself and Russell and we're hoping Rachel... but we're wondering if maybe you'd consider an alliance with us.
Enzo Palumbo : ooh that would be cool. I like talking to all of you guys and I think we'd all work well together. So yeah, I'm down :-)
Karen : AWESOME! We just ask that you not tell anyone about the alliance is all.
Karen : Is that cool?
Enzo Palumbo : umm duh. lol I think I can handle that :-P
Karen : Sweet deal!



So this amuses me for a couple reasons.

1. I'm outgoing HoH and can't help them stay safe next week. lol So it's more me relying on them.

2. They realize they just asked for an alliance with ENZO, right?
I don't ever stick to just one alliance.


We'll see how this goes, but I'm liking where I'm at for just the first week. Things can easily change at the drop of a hat but so far so good!
