I use this smiley: maybe too often.

Bring on veto. I'm ready.

Also I don't hate Eric. And maybe he's not as dumb as I felt he was yesterday. lol

:-P
Eric 2:05 pm

i just really hope jeff doesnt win tbh
finerhine 2:05 pm

you'd be okay with me winning? lol
Eric 2:06 pm
lol well id rather win myself ;-)
haha
finerhine 2:06 pm
well
yeah
finerhine 2:07 pm
but if I won it, you'd be less disappointed than if Jeff did?
Eric 2:07 pm
precisely :-)
finerhine 2:07 pm
I'll take that.
lol
Eric 2:07 pm
id much prefer you win than jeff lol
finerhine 2:08 pm
so Jeff winning is bad for both of us
lol
Eric 2:09 pm
idk tbh lol
i dont really want you to go
finerhine 2:09 pm
wow
that's good to hear
but
couldn't you have felt that way before you put me up? :-P
Eric 2:10 pm
haha i dont want to stir things up unless its necessary!
finerhine 2:11 pm
I understand
I didn't mean to stir things up last week
lol
Eric 2:11 pm
its ok im sure it was just a misunderstanding
i wasnt around so i really dont know what happened lol
finerhine 2:11 pm
Can I explain to you my thought process?
I knew the vote was going to be close
I had both nominees and other people asking me to vote a certain way
I think that the people who were voting for Angie to stay really wanted her to stay, whereas the people voting for Sheila to stay were only doing so because they'd prefer Angie to leave. lol
which I thought made Angie more dangerous than Sheila.
finerhine 2:14 pm
which is why I ultimately changed my mind, because when I told Angie voting for her was something I could do, I was leaning in that direction.
Eric 2:15 pm
yeah but if angie were here and people wanted her out, wouldnt that have meant there would just be one more person theyd all want out before you? lol
finerhine 2:15 pm
sure
but then I felt like Angie had a bunch of other people she was more loyal to than me.
that's what it came down to
finerhine 2:16 pm
what's done is done now. lol
People can call me a liar, or a douche. :-P
anyway, the events leading us here has given us the opportunity to chat a lot more recently, so that's only a good thing.
right?
Eric 2:19 pm
yess lol thats the attitude :-) finding something positive to look at
finerhine 2:19 pm
well really, where's the sense in getting angry?
you know
cause even if you wanted me to go this week
and I ended up staying
then we'd be at odds
and that's never any fun
lol
Eric 2:20 pm
true lol
and i think you took your nomination much better than jeff did
he was a bit angry lol
finerhine 2:20 pm
well I can understand that too
:-P
Eric 2:20 pm
haha yes but atleast you're composing yourself well :-)
finerhine 2:21 pm
I was a little annoyed that you made it seem like it was about what happened last week to be honest, but I'm over it.
only because like I told you, it wasn't against anyone but Angie.
Eric 2:22 pm
yeah i know, but that wasnt the only reason
finerhine 2:22 pm
I know
Eric 2:22 pm
i mean we havent spoken much before this
which thats obviously changed :-)
finerhine 2:22 pm
I know that too
lol
yeah so we're cool
I'm glad we had this chat
Eric 2:23 pm
me too :-)
but just cuz i want you to safe doesnt mean you can take a breather
obviously alex's hoh didnt go his way lol
finerhine 2:23 pm
I know
Eric 2:23 pm
so still try
finerhine 2:23 pm
lol
Eric 2:23 pm
:-)
lol
finerhine 2:23 pm
My focus is on winning veto
or keeping it out of Jeff's possession. ;-)
Eric 2:24 pm
good goooood :-)
i like this idea
finerhine 2:24 pm
what kind of comp do you think it will be?
people have been saying How Much Do You Want it?
Eric 2:24 pm
nooo idea, all im hearing so far is that stupid
yeah that
lmao
but i doubt anybody knows
finerhine 2:24 pm
I hate that one
lol
Eric 2:24 pm
same
finerhine 2:25 pm
if it is that one...
finerhine 2:25 pm
it increases our chances of winning it
Eric 2:25 pm
yeah especially if jeff doesnt know he's the target
which hopefully he doesnt lol
finerhine 2:26 pm
I don't know if the others will want to sacrifice too much when especially if they feel like their neck isn't on the line.
and oh, he won't be hearing that from me, I can guarantee you that much.
:-P

[James Rhine]

So now I'm thinking if I'm good with Eric, maybe I will be good with Casey, Jee, Nick, etc.

Also, Sheila told me today that Eric knew Jee had promised me his vote. And I only told Sheila. And Alex.

So Alex let Eric know that Jee wanted me to stay, which my first thought was that Alex was trying to get Jee on the block, if I was indeed Eric's target this week, which I am no longer.

But boy, am I glad I kept my cool. Things are looking much better than they were before I logged in. I'm assuming now if Veto is used, Natalie may be the replacement...

Here's some snippets from a convo with Sheila:

Sheila 2:07 pm
so dick/allison/sarah
theres also hope
cuz if jeff comes off
eric may not wanna target u
he doesn't have a back-up for is jeff wins and thats a good sign for u cuz it means he wouldn't wanna just ensure u get evicted
finerhine 2:08 pm
right
so what did Eric tell you exactly?
about Jee and his vote
Sheila 2:09 pm
that he had just heard jee promised u his vote
Animal (2:10:07 PM): james told sarah? told nick? told casey? idk who lol but someone showed me that lol
Sheila 2:14 pm
oh my
Animal (2:13:45 PM): and i was thinking maybe if james isnt safe and i won pov.. maybe use it on him and put up natalie or somethin
Animal (2:13:46 PM): idk yet lol



xxyourdead101xx (2:13:54 PM): oh my =-O
xxyourdead101xx (2:14:01 PM): thatd be insane xD
xxyourdead101xx (2:14:04 PM): but in a good way




So now right this second, Sheila, my Mrs. Robinson is the person I trust 100%. She is really grateful for me saving her ass last week, and is really trying to help me out this week. If I get to choose someone to play for veto, I'm picking her. We can use the excuse that she owes me if anyone questions it.

I'm a little confused at the moment who I can actually trust right now. But Sheila tells me I have her vote, Amanda's vote and Casey's vote to stay. I would be shocked if Sarah didn't vote to keep me, and with Sarah hopefully comes Allison, who I'll have to confirm with when the time comes. Sheila also says Dick may be a possibility, and I'm not sure if Jee was being genuine or not.

I don't know about Alex, Natalie, Nick, Will.

Alex could hold a grudge against me for keeping Sheila in the game. Alex and Nat are close, but Nat voted against what Alex preferred last week too, so maybe they could split the vote this week. But Sheila says that Nat has a deal with Jeff? But so do I, I thought. I didn't ask her yet about what she would do, I think it's too early still. I just have to have faith.

Will I believe is the chatbox trash talker, trying to make me out to be the bad guy so he stays off the block. So would he vote to evict me? Possibly. And Nick I have no clue about. We talk occasionally, but it's never game talk. And he was a big fan of Angie's too.

[James Rhine]

So much for veto.

I'll now have to rely on people's votes...Sarah told me that Alex wants me to stay. And Jeff picked Alex to play veto, I'm not sure what's behind that pick. But Will is also playing. I can see either of those two winning: Alex or Will.

And if Alex or Will can somehow get Eric to agree to put up Sheila, they may just use veto on one of us.

If it stays between me and Jeff I should have:
Sarah, Sheila, Amanda, Casey, Alex, Dick, Jee?

If Jeff wins veto, and either Sheila or Amanda go up in his place, I should have:
Sarah, Alex, Casey, Jeff, Jee, Natalie, Allison

I'd like to think I'll be good in either situation but I have work on some of those people to be sure.

[James Rhine]

Eric told me tonight that if he won veto, he'd consider using it on me if he didn't feel like I would stay. I'd like to think I have the votes, but I'd rather not chance it.

I do know he wants Jeff gone though. Who else could he put up to ensure that happens? I don't know. I'd hate to say it, I may be the best person for the job. Or maybe Natalie?

[James Rhine]

Casey just told me (but it didn't come from him) that Eric is considering vetoing me if I would be willing to make a deal with him...what kind of deal might this be? I'm a little nervous to find out because I think I could already have the votes to stay.

Casey, Sarah, Sheila, Allison, Amanda, Jee (if that's what Eric wants, Jee will do it, plus he did promise me his vote already ), Alex.

I don't know about Nick, Dick, Will or Natalie. But I need 6.

[James Rhine]

Apparently things have completely flipped on its head and now Jeff might be staying. Ridiculous. I know I may have "lied" about the vote last week, but that was only against Angie, nobody else.

I always thought Alex might still be mad at me for it, but I never thought he'd actually vote me out. I'd never vote the Kitty, unless he were up against Sarah. But he doesn't need to know that last part about Sarah.

And Nick is the dumb one now. Why did he make that deal with me last night? I had to promise him safety if I won HoH and I'd have honoured it, and I was planning on possibly putting him up before that.

People are stupid. I love Jeff and all, but I want to stay in this game. I need to at least make jury.

And maybe I'm just stupid and everyone's been playing me this entire week. I guess we'll soon see, but if that's true, then they're all bigger villains than me!

Sheila, Casey, Jee, Will...I know I have their votes.
Sheila told me Dick and Amanda are keeping me. That should be enough.
But I've asked Sarah to please keep me too.

The others can f*ck off.

Next week, things are going to be different. You can count on that.

And if I am evicted this week, well, I'll have a few choice words for people. Not sure if I'll share them publicly, we'll have to wait and see.

Perhaps we'll see the return of Christian...

[James Rhine]

I've got time for one more rhyme.


There once was a loser named Shadow
Who herded his allies like cattle.
Allison, Sarah, Nick and Natalie
all turned on me for Alex was mad at me.

"You made me vulnerable to Sheila", he cried.
"And you were the only person who lied."
I lied because you couldn't see,
you were starting to group with Angie.

So I screwed up your plans, oh no! So sad!
But Angie leaving was not that bad.
You put yourself in a spot with the oldest one
By letting Sheila know that you wanted her gone.

She's still in the game and she's got your number.
And you evicted an ally, could you be any dumber?
I was still on your side and would have had your back
But now I'll just watch my Mrs. Robinson attack.

Because again, you did fail and she won the veto
And when I saw the results, I just thought it was neat-o.
Even though I'm out, I'm still laughing with glee
Because perhaps she'll get her chance to avenge little ol' me.
