Week 1

[Brian Hart]

I've met spoken with a few newbies. Mainly Britney and Angie. They seem pretty nice. Hopefully its not a front!

This is going to be tough! I don't know as many people in this house as I did in All-Stars. Ack!

[Brian Hart]

I've been a social butterfly so far.

I've made a deal with Chima and got to know my partner Rachel pretty well. She seems really nice, I just hope she can carry her weight.

I got to know a few people a little better.

Thus far

Alex - Seems nice but also naive, said he wasnt reading the episodes and was gonna wing it
Angie - Crazy
Britney - A little too nice to everyone, may have ties to Janelle and Jordan
Chiara - likes my dog
Chima - alliance but expendable
David - Will probably have my back for a good while
James R - solid alliance
James Z - will keep me safe for a while, he seems to like me
Janelle - Being weirdly nice, not too sure about her, but thus far has not given me any reason to be worried
Jordan - havent spoken with her. leaves me a little worried but partner Alex will probably keep me safe.
Kevin - havent spoken directly but will probably keep me safe
Matt- have absolutely no idea
Memphis - seems nice but is probably already scheming
Michael -
Michele - will need to be kept around for a while, easily manipulated
Michelle -
Nathan - is somewhere in Europe. Seems nice but very quiet
Rachel - Glad to have her as a partner! She seems solid and is ready to take charge!
Sharon - havent spoken with her directly but I think I'm safe with her and her partner
Will - I feel safe with Will, hopefully his partner will agree with him.

wow that was a ton of people.

I can't believe we were so close to winning HoH! Damn.

Well, I'm not terribly worried with Will as HoH. I'm hoping that he'll take out one of the blondes (Janelle or Jordan) but thats wishfull thinking. I doubt he'd try and stir up trouble this early in the game. I spoke with him and told him that the easiest way to appease the house would be to nominate Chima's team since most people dont like her and Michele's team since they have upset each other in the past.

James R is very nice and is constantly keeping me up to tabs with whats going on in the house and I am very thankful for that. He let me know that Alex and Jordan are definitely gunning for me and Rachel. Us doing well in the HoH competition probably isnt helping our cause.

Our best bet will be to win the next HoH or have James R or Kevin win. This week shoudn't be stressing me out, but it definitely is.

Janelle's message

"I messaged Rachel and was wondering where your heads were at. She told me you guys haven't thought about who you're gonna evict, and said that whoever you wanted to evict, shed be on board. I was wondering if you guys could spare me this week, because its really gonna come down to your vote. If you guys kept me, maybe we could spark up a deal: you me, and Jordan. I think we could be really strong together. Let me know what you're thinking, because I really need your guys help. And I'd definitely remember it in the future. "


My potential response, saving for after the veto is used

"Hey Janelle,

Thanks for taking the time to message me. I really have no idea why Will nominated you or what exactly is going on in the house. Being a have not definitely blows. I know you and Jordan are close and I'm not quite sure I can 100% believe that we'd make a good alliance. You are a nice girl and I appreciate the fact that you think we'd make a good group in the house but I can only trust someone as far as I can throw them. The way you blew up at Will and Ivette was just crazy. I really feel like you dug your own grave this week. I genuinely think that if you hadn't blown up you'd be safe this week and everyone would have voted out the inactive."
