Pre-Game:Coming into the all-stars game is hella exciting. I've got some ideas bouncing around in my crazy noggin, which I will be sharing with you from time to time. Now, however, is not the time. But I would like to say to expect the same James Rhine you watched and rooted for in season 8, but this time a little more devious.  This is all-stars, man. I'm expecting every single person to come into this game with 50 alliances. lol My first main goal of the season is to survive the early evictions, nobody wants to be the first person evicted in a game like this... I'm looking at a few people as potential allies, and a few people as potential targets. I'm hoping that I'm not the potential target of anyone in particular at the beginning of the game...that would just be so wrong! Also, I will be bringing back my fantastic rhymes, haha, but they will have their place here in my voting thread of all places! I think they could be a lot of fun in there.

Waiting for the game to officially begin before I spill the juicy gossip. But I've been talking with one housemate in particular about a plan that will hopefully take us to the end. Ah, what the hell? You'll probably read about it in her diary room anyway... James and Sarah are back on.We talked about many things, which I'm sure you'll read in the convo she will post in her DR  , including each of us getting in good with a different set of people and sharing a couple as well... SarahDick Jee Alison Brian Natalie JamesAlex Erika Sheila Brian Natalie We might need help with the competitions, that's where Alex (and Alison) come in. Alex and I go way back. lol We've had our ups and downs, but hoping we can give it another go here. Also hoping people forget that we know each other from elsewhere. Sheila and I have a secret alliance, but I'm not expecting her to last very long, which is why I hadn't mentioned it to Sarah, I only told her I talked to her a bit. But Sarah warned me that she's very close with Jordan. Speaking of which, Sarah also told me that Jordan asked Erika for an alliance. So I could find myself in with all three of these ladies at some point. Also, Dick informed Sarah that Angie thinks Sarah was the best player from season 8, which could mean that Angie wouldn't mind seeing Sarah go. That would not be a good thing. We agreed on Angie and Jordan needing to leave very early, we think that Dan will be an early boot, as well as Sheila. Also that if Will makes jury, he'll be dangerous... more to come later! |

Interesting bits of a convo with Dan. If he is going to be tight with Angie, it might be a good idea to stay in touch with this guy. And I've played with him before and know how his mind works, so I know that he could just be trying to start a rumour. Dan 2:59 pm
so im kind of hoping Russell actually checks infinerhine 2:59 pm I was just going to mention Russell. lol Dan 2:59 pm
lolfinerhine 2:59 pm he's got some time Dan 3:00 pm
only reason I say that is because I think its fairly obvious who is replacement will befinerhine 3:00 pm you'd rather have Russell in than Jeff? Dan 3:00 pm
yeahfinerhine 3:00 pm well I talked to him a couple nights ago, he seems to think it's going to be him. Dan 3:00 pm
he's signed up for the board already so yeah I'd assume sofinerhine 3:00 pm but you'd rather him not be in the game? lol Dan 3:00 pm
well
ive played 3 games in a row with himfinerhine 3:01 pm ah right Dan 3:01 pm
urtv9, starz, urtv10
its like
-_-finerhine 3:01 pm you don't want to have to worry about having an alliance with him if you don't want one Dan 3:01 pm
well not only that,
he makes alliances with everyoneDan 3:07 pm
yeah true
but you also have to remember that theres a lot of people in this game with friends
and who are very likeablefinerhine 3:07 pm I know Dan 3:07 pm
its already been labeled as the "popular kids"
lol, not by mefinerhine 3:07 pm really? Dan 3:07 pm
but ive heard that name already
yesfinerhine 3:08 pm who might be included in that group? Dan 3:08 pm
i really dont know for sure. but i mean, the obvious ones would be like Angie, Taylor, Shadow, Jessica, Jordan, Brittifinerhine 3:08 pm ah I'd agree with the Angie and Jordan and Britti Dan 3:09 pm
its just speculation of course. its hard to confirm such a huge groupfinerhine 3:09 pm and I could see Taylor Dan 3:09 pm
well taylor and angie are like bfffinerhine 3:09 pm this is the first I've heard of this group. lol Dan 3:10 pm
well dont quote me on it. it seems like its just rumorDan 3:11 pm
im friends with people, but i can see myself being expendablefinerhine 3:11 pm I can only tell you that for myself, you won't have to worry about me. At least not right away. ;-) Dan 3:12 pm
lol thanks and same for me too dude. Im starting to get a feel for who is with who and how people interact with one another
its going to be interestingfinerhine 3:12 pm that's the truth ================= Also, last night I ended up talking to Alex. We talked about the season 9 peeps, he called them a 'scary group', also told me that he thinks Dan and Jordan are tag teaming people. They were asking him about the stuff in the chat box...there was stuff about Dan and Angie in there recently. I also told Alex I was hoping to have what we had in the past, and I think he agreed, but I can't take that as 100%. But the plan is to go to him at certain points in the game. ================= And this from Brian just now: finerhine 3:28 pm the closer we get, the more nervous I get. :-P I'm glad we have each other. Brian 3:29 pm
me too
like i always need to have that 1 person in a game who i can 100%
and i think you're my guy  So hopefully I'll be okay for a while. |

I didn't want to make too many alliances in this game. It could most definitely backfire.
But somehow Casey and I have just agreed to work together...could work out though. I know that "Dan" is sick of him in these games and him always getting so far and sometimes winning. So I know that they're not the best of friends. So we'll see how it goes.
Other than that, I plan to continue talking to Alex, Brian, Dan, Jeff, Erika, Sheila, Natalie (and my Sarah) on a regular basis. I think that these people have connections with others that I may not talk with a whole lot at the moment, and that might put in a good word for me when it comes nomination time and one of them's in power. But also for this reason, I'll have to be extremely careful of what I might say to them as well.

So I wanted to keep in touch with Dr. Will, but not be associated with the guy! He's got to be the biggest target coming into the game and he chose me to be his partner for the first competition!?! Thanks. lol I'm betting it's for hoh. And each partner will be hoh for their respective groups. I feel safe within the red group, so I'm okay with not winning. But Will is the opposite, so I told him we'd go for the win. I always do try, but maybe I could sabotage our chances???

Week One:
These pairs make nominations even scarier. We win and lose together, get nominated together and possibly even evicted together...
Where to start? OK. Erika told me that people are already talking about our pairs. Now she came to this conclusion after talking to Will, so I'm not sure if Will was just being super nervous or if was working his magic on her to make their pair go for the win.
Will was worried about Dan so I talked to Dan and told him Will and I were planning to leave him and Jessica alone. And he offered the same. I rarely do this, but I'm using my cross-game connections this time. I figure it's all-stars anyway, so why not? Will then confirmed this with Dan himself. So we're good there. And I expect Dansica to be a contender for this first hoh.
I'm hearing that a bunch of pairs are planning to throw it, leaving just Erikail, Anjee and Dansica to compete. I also know that Sheilex are deciding whether or not they'll go for it. But we're alright with them too.
And I just had a short, friendly conversation with Angie (cause we've never really spoken) just incase.
I have good enough relationships with mostly everyone as individuals, but I guess we'll see what happens with partners.
But I'm pulling for a Sarah/Nick win, a Dansica or an Sheilex win.

finerhine 11:33 am

Dan 11:33 am
for sure. just wanted to give you a headsup because it seems like everyone is throwing me and jess under the bus like using the fact that we tried winning hoh not cool finerhine 11:34 am what's wrong with actually trying to win an hoh? lol I think people may have forgotten this is all-stars Dan 11:35 am i know. but people have been asking us who we would put up, and even if we say any names, they go right back to that person to tell them finerhine 11:35 am right Dan 11:35 am so i wanted you to hear it from me first finerhine 11:35 am well thanks It will be interesting to see if it does get back to us. finerhine 11:41 am so are people actually wanting to see me and Will up? Dan 11:41 am lol didnt think so yeahh I know for a fact that Angie said she would put you guys up
thats actually where the brian/allison rumor started
she said she would put you/will up with brian/allison
and i just agreedfinerhine 11:42 am interesting Dan 11:42 am so she ran right back to brian and told him finerhine 11:42 am lol Dan 11:42 am lol finerhine 11:43 am Angie told Brian that you agreed that he and Allison would make good nominees with me and Will? finerhine 11:43 am so much going on already Dan 11:44 am yeah she did, then apparently she mustve told other people cuz they went to brian and allison too so i had to clear that shit up finerhine 11:44 am did you talk to Brian/Allison? Dan 11:44 am yeah finerhine 11:44 am what did they say? lol Dan 11:45 am well allison already knew it wasnt true and she was waiting to talk to me about it first and brian is always a bit more skeptical so i basically told him to talk to your partner, she knows whatsup finerhine 11:45 am oh okay Dan 11:45 am but yes, everyone is playing hard already and im surprised I'm feeling like a double agent. Kinda of liking, but I need to slow it down, or I'll get tangled up. |

Jordan/amy 3:41 pm yeah its pretty stressful i do agree with you on that. it makes things harder. :-\ finerhine 3:41 pm especially when your partner is Cody. lol Jordan/amy 3:42 pm this is true. do you feel like that could put a target on your back or something? lol. finerhine 3:42 pm um yes. lol it is Cody, afterall. but I'm hoping we'll be alright Jordan/amy 3:42 pm ya. well, i get why you would feel that way. but id just look at the bright side. its only week one and i think ive already had a freak out moment. finerhine 3:48 pm what did you freak out about? :-P Jordan/amy 3:49 pm oh, im being paranoid. like real bad. :-\ like just being cute little me isnt going to work this game. lol. finerhine 3:50 pm we're all-stars now ;-) Jordan/amy 3:51 pm lol, welll, ya. time to put my big girl pants on. *puts on* :-) and thanks for the update on me being in AS. ;-)  finerhine 3:52 pm well just saying we've all come into the game with reputations good or bad Jordan/amy 3:55 pm no i get that. :-) i didnt think i had a bad rep until like yesterday. xD finerhine 3:55 pm I wouldn't say that lol Jordan/amy 3:55 pm what would you call it =-O finerhine 3:55 pm but you are pretty popular that's all why, have people been saying things about you?

Jordan/amy 4:01 pm oh, hmm, i dont think so. i think ill be okay for this round tbh. finerhine 4:01 pm good Jordan/amy 4:01 pm and you're right. people arent set in there ways about the game just yet finerhine 4:02 pm Right now, people have to act certain ways or agree with certain ideas because of partners Jordan/amy 4:02 pm its just this whole twist. :-\ finerhine 4:02 pm exactly Jordan/amy 4:02 pm i know. its like one person has to run the show for the pair, so it makes it harder if you butt heads with that person finerhine 4:09 pm yeah plus people having alliances with a person in another pair means the other partner is auto protected too. :-P Jordan/amy 4:11 pm yah, see thats another crazy thing. :-\ i mean its good for one person at least. :-D being auto safe. so do you know anything about what might happen with nominations
finerhine 4:11 pm
no
but I've been hearing it could be me and Will.
but Dan's said they've not come to a decision yet.
Jordan/amy 4:15 pm
interesting.
yah, i guess yall were one of the names going around. :-\
finerhine 4:15 pm

It was probably Dan or Jessica. Either way, it seems to be the truth. Dan would be stupid to screw me over this early, when he's got a few people after him already. |

Apparently I missed some heavy drama last night. lol I had Dan, Brian, Nick, Sheila and Will fill me in individually, just for fun. haha. I'm hoping with all this drama going on, the target comes off of us and onto Erikail. I guess Kail started some trouble with Jordan, Natalie, Dansica, and Erika took Kail's side and everyone else in the chat just watched the fight. Not the smartest move by Erikail, but I'm loving that drama is surrounding that pair and not my boy Bri and Allison. I need them to stay. By the way, Dan told me that we're not going to be the replacement nominees, but that he wants whichever pair stays up to be evicted. Obviously I suggested it be someone who wouldn't get a lot of votes, and that wouldn't be me and Will. lol Either way, we have a deal with them, so we're good. Also, the fact that we just got these brand new dual keys leads me to believe we'll be paired up beyond the first week, like so many people were hoping not to be true. |

finerhine 1:59 pm
very nice
so I guess we're waiting on Joeff again.
the last couple to vote
ha ha
Angie 2:00 pm
haha figures. i think we all know what the outcome is gonna be
finerhine 2:00 pm
yeah
but it will be nice when it's made official
I don't know about you, but I'm ready for week 2.
so much drama this round
most of it I missed but still
finerhine 2:01 pm
:-P
Angie 2:01 pm
oh gosh me too. the drama was just ridiculous
finerhine 2:02 pm
most of it, not surprisingly started by or revolving around Kail.
lol
Angie 2:03 pm
oh yes, luis is crazy, we all know that
finerhine 2:03 pm
so hopefully that lessens the amount of potential drama for week 2.
ha ha
Angie 2:03 pm
i hope the partner twist is over too
finerhine 2:03 pm
it can't come soon enough for me, Angie.
I know Will is a huge target
Angie 2:04 pm
i understand you completely, you're the main one i'm worried about
just because your partner is a previous winner
finerhine 2:04 pm
yeah
and just because we're partners now because of some stupid twist
doesn't mean I want to see the guy win a third time. lol
there's lots of time to deal with him
:-P
Angie 2:05 pm
yeah, can't say i wanna see him win again, but not badly enough to screw you over cause of it
finerhine 2:05 pm
well thank you Angie.
finerhine 2:05 pm
I appreciate that.
Angie 2:06 pm
anytime :-)
which is why the partner twist needs to be over. there's no specific pair that i want to target
finerhine 2:07 pm
exactly
me neither
well here's hoping it happens in week 2
Angie 2:07 pm
cheers to that
finerhine 2:06 pm
so
you know Angie a bit better than I do.
if she tells me something, can I trust it?
Brian 2:07 pm
we can compare what she says
what did she tell you?
finerhine 2:07 pm
oh ok
we just got onto the topic of partners and how we want them to end soon
finerhine 2:08 pm
and I said that even though Will's my partner because of a twist, there is no way I want to see him win again.
and then she said this:
Angie 2:05 pm
yeah, can't say i wanna see him win again, but not badly enough to screw you over cause of it
Brian 2:09 pm
shes told me something similar
finerhine 2:09 pm
so she's being genuine then
excellent
Does this mean I can trust Angie then? I am trying to stay on good enough terms with as many people as I can to keep me (and Will) in the game.
Erikail should be as good as gone. I told Casey we were voting to keep him and Eric, just to reassure him incase some other pair throws a hinky. But I think it'll be unanimous.
Then next week, if pairs are still in play, hopefully me and Will or Brallison win hoh.

Week Two:
So Will and I won HoH! We had even agreed on nominations! And then...
A split! Two houses! And everyone I would have nominated in the other house!
I do like being in the Heroes house, though I think I'll quickly become a villain after this week is over. I really don't want to have to nominate any of these people.
I have Alex and Brian with me, which is extremely good! Also Nick, who wants to talk to me every time we're on AIM together. I guess that's not a bad thing. ha ha. My house is full of nice people, which makes my job that much harder.
I want to talk to at least Brian and Alex about nominations before I make a decision. Ideally, I'd like to talk to as many people as possible. We'll see how that goes...

I've talked with Alex about potential nominees. We're both iffy about Jee. He doesn't seem that social, but maybe it's just with us. Who knows? I've only talked to him once though.
Alex brought up the idea of Jeff and Jordan, which could definitely work, since they have probably got allies in the other house.
My original thinking when Will and I won HoH was to nominate Jordick and Anjee because it looked like they may have thrown the hoh competition. The only reason they'd do that were if they were confident enough to feel safe. And that to me is dangerous. So I still have the option of putting up Jordan and Jee for that reason. And because it's not fair to solely put the blame on them since we all had partners, it's also a communication thing. I've only talked to both Jee and Jordan once.
Now the question is, will Jeff save Jordan if he wins veto? He'd be stupid to do that, it would prove that they're together. So maybe I'll leave him off to see what he does.
I told Natalie straight up that I didn't want to have to nominate anyone, but told her that it could possibly be Jordan and Jeff. I know she's close with Jordan, but she agreed that she's a huge threat and promised not to tell her. But if I find out that she knows, that's not going to sit well with me.
So basically, I'm testing Natalie, and Jeff this week.
I plan on talking with Jessica to see if that deal we made last round still stands, also with Casey. And I may also try to make a deal with Nick.
I'm hoping that having Alex, Brian, Nick, and Casey in my corner will lessen my chances of being nominated next week. I'd say the odds are pretty good of one of them winning hoh. And if it's a luck based competition, I may also be able to count on Jess and Natalie. And hopefully I won't have to put Jeff on the block, so I'll still remain good with him.

I'm rethinking things now...
First let me get this out of the way first---I told Brian that Dan suggested that maybe he should be a nominee if I wanted to play it safe. I trust that my boy, Bri will keep that to himself. But that's when Brian told me that he think Dan might be America's Player and his task was to have him be nominated or evicted. It's possible, and it makes sense.
Anyway, Sheila brought up the fact that there are obvious pairs in my house:
Alex/Natalie
Nick/Jessica
Brian/Casey
Jeff/Jordan
So it makes sense to target one of those pairs...
And it won't be Alex and Natalie, because I love them. lol
Nick and Jessica seem to have the most connections inside our house and outside our house. Sheila told me this, and so did Jordan. And luckily, I didn't tell either Nick or Jess that they're 100% safe.
The only people who I did tell were safe were Alex, Natalie and Brian.
So as of now, the possible nominees are going to be Nick & Jessica or Jeff & Jordan.
I'd like to talk to Sarah and Alex before making a final decision.
And I'm thinking that if Will really wanted to get rid of Dan, he could probably get it done. And it could be a good idea, but then Will probably fills in the role of public enemy #1.

Looks like my nominations are causing quite a stir...which means I made the right decision in my opinion.
Jordan said she's not mad, but I know she is...She's probably the one posting in the chat box. lol I really do love it. I'll embrace the heel turn, maybe it's what I need to keep me in the game longer.
I know Jeff's upset with me. And I feel bad about that. But I told him I don't want him gone, and that I'll give him answers later on.
Anyway, I don't have a lot of time, just wanted to give a quick update.
