Well this oughta be interesting, I've never played Big Brother before but I'm all about new challenges. I don't play ORGs that often, because I don't want them to ever become routine or stale to me. This is something I've never done before. I like that. But damn, it ain't easy. Trying to stay on top of 19 mostly similar PM conversations gets confusing after a while. Not being a Rugrats fan so far hasn't really been too much of a handicap, I've just been trying to be myself basically and crack jokes, which is going down better with some than with others. I've gotta at least try and make an impression, because people are probably gonna nominate the people they've talked to the least, and you can't afford to leave anyone out because anyone could be the next HoH. Anyone! We have no way to gauge challenge skill at this point. Obviously Lil is someone I felt I could connect with quickly. She was very quick to get an alliance going between me, her, Kimi and Chuckie. I'm worried it's way too soon for that but I do like Kimi, she's probably my favorite PMer at the moment. People are already starting to think of me and Lil as a pair which is NOT what I want so hopefully she doesn't play too hard and screw me. As for the rest of the pack.... Good first impressions: Susie - She's funny and has attitude but not in an overbearing way. Chaz - One of the few I've had open up to me and had (relatively) detailed conversations with. Stu - He seems like a genuine guy and conversation flows naturally with him. Cynthia - I wanted to hate Cynthia because I hate her creepy-ass doll emote, but it turns out I'm not as superficial or petty as I thought I was. She seems woefully unprepared and inept much like myself, and that's endearing to me. Bad first impressions: Angelica - Grade A bitch. I'm trying to banter with her, but I dunno, we're really not clicking and I don't think she finds me funny so we're probably not gonna get along. Probably the person most likely to nominate me. Tommy- I don't get his schtick! I don't get it! What the fuck is he talking about half the time? Dil - He's much better in PMs than he is on the board, but like the wise black lady said: There's still a small handful of people I haven't talked to yet, but those are on the less active side and I will probably have to wait til tomorrow. |

I haven't seen a lot of talk about nominees, other than the standard "let's get rid of the less active people first". I feel it'll likely be some combination of Lou, Kira, Drew, Betty, maybe even Lucy. With this many people there's plenty of room for an unexpected pick though. I won't be nominating Drew or Betty. Drew because he's in a non-US timezone like myself, and Betty because she asked me for an alliance, probably thinking she doesn't have many options other than to pimp out the family connection. I don't think either of them are long for this game, but they're both useful to me for now, so I'd like to see them stay. Well, I highlighted the stand-outs earlier, and my opinions haven't really changed much. Conversations with Angelica have improved, though. I still don't she really likes talking to me, but she's making a valiant effort. Dil is kinda...needy. He's restarted PMs with me more than once, and I don't think I've taken that long to respond to him, definitely no longer than he has to me. Lou is the only one that hasn't messaged me back now, so fuck him. |

I'd say a 5. Nobody else I've asked has got a response from him either so it might just be a crapshoot. I've sent him a PM, that's the most I can do on my end. You raise a good point, though. He hasn't spent enough time here to get to know us, so whoever does get nominated in that scenario would be getting majorly robbed. They would not be getting voted out because they suck. They would be getting voted out because he sucks. And that's a harsh way to go. I could very well be nominated. You never know what these guys agendas are. Someone might want to shake things up, rather than going for the safe option. I don't really have a good feeling about Tommy or Didi. There's still quite a few relationships I need to improve. I'm definitely not taking my safety for granted. |

Alrighty about an hour and half to go! Feeling good about your chances? I see Lou has been on a good portion of the day. Has he managed to "save" himself so to speak, or no? If so who goes up in his place? GLSM

Lou may very well have saved himself. He randomly turned up out of nowhere and Lil decided to put me and her in an alliance with him. That was a pretty big WTF moment. She thinks that by being his savior he'll be a loyal soldier to us, and that there's bigger fish to fry. That's all well and good, but I've been one of the people targeting his ass for the last 2 days, and I've told almost everyone that, so to go back on that now would look hella suspicious. I'm not going to move mountains to save him if he does end up on the block, that's for sure. We know there's a Pickles alliance out there because Drew told me about it, but we don't know how big it is yet or who is in it. I do know that Dil has asked me for a one-on-one alliance, which I accepted. I don't know how he's going to fit into my plans yet but he clearly does not plan to vote me out any time soon and thus it's not in my interests to go after him for now. Possible new target: Charlotte the Harlot. Depends on how the playgroups turn out and how serious we think the Pickles alliance is. Susie and Lucy could be in danger too. Would be a shame to lose Susie so early, she's one of the stand-out characters so far. Anyway, the so-called "inactives" Lou and Kira are here and ready to play. Forget freebies. I thought this was gonna be a dull round at first, but it's definitely not ending up that way. |

What a round! Shall I start with the good or the bad? The good: - Safe for another round. - Finding out I'm aligned with a challenge star. - Lil won't have to face the vengeful wrath of Didi, who was kind of a bitch. - Fallout from voting Lucy will be mild at best, as she doesn't seem to care enough to give a shit. - I actually like Lucy and wanted her to stay around. The bad: - Managing to vote in the minority. Syncronization fail. - Literally nobody initiated PMs with me during that vote. Thanks for valuing my opinion! - The vote exposing where everyone stands a little too well. I get that the round was kind of a clusterfuck but c'mon, there's clearly an alliance between most if not all of those Didi voters. Even if there wasn't, I'm sure it helped create one. The battle lines have been drawn and the field is split halfway down the middle. Lovely! I think that vote really set the tone for the game though. Scrambling, uncertainty, drama. It's going to be pretty unpredictable from here on out. |

[align=center]ROUND #2[/align] Unless people be lying, the ones that voted with me tonight were Kimi, Chaz, Charlotte, Dil, Howard and Lou (citation needed). Which makes the Didi voters....Angelica, Stu, Chuckie, Drew (pre-vote), Spike, Cynthia, Kira and Betty. I think the ones I'm most worried about in that group are Angelica, Stu and Cynthia. Chuckie too, oddly. I think he has something going with Tommy, who didn't vote tonight, so it's hard to know where his head is. I like my playgroup, they seem strong in challenges...Chuckie came 2nd in that HoH and Spike won that PoV...but at the same time it's kind of a waste because I don't think Chuckie or Betty would've nominated me anyway. Could there be a backlash against Lucy voters? It's possible. It depends who gets HoH but I feel good about a healthy portion of this cast. Lil obviously has my back. Kimi and me are tight. Dil is really serious about our alliance after all, I think he really does trust me, so I trust him too. I'm working on Chaz, Howard, even Charlotte. I felt like if I could make Charlotte paranoid about having voted in the minority she'd feel better about working with me, so I tried to do just that. |

Originally I wasn't gonna put too much stock in the playgroups as I didn't think anyone else was. But now I see everyone else is taking them seriously, so I should too. Here's my plan: between me, Kimi and Chaz, we've got eyes and ears in all three intact playgroups. This gives us influence over a voting bloc of 12 and allows us to just keep picking on the two smaller groups because they're never gonna have enough votes to save themselves. I know Kimi is closer to Chaz than I am, but between Howard, Lil and Drew, I've got plenty of connections in that playgroup too. For my money, Kimi is the best player in the game. That's just an impression I got very early on, which I think will prove to be correct. And if I can stay close to, but still keep up with, the best player in the game, I think I'm in good shape. Lucy gotta go tonight, for real this time. She's literally asking for it and I doubt anyone's complaining at the idea of getting a free pass this round. |

[align=center]ROUND #3[/align] Well, Lucy trolled us and trolled us hard. Honestly, you'll never convince me that was a strategic move, she did it for shits and giggles. She was trying to make Charlotte feel bad in the eviction thread, but none of it made any sense. Lucy asked to be nominated, and she was. The end.I think Charlotte did feel guilty, but she really has no reason to. We all got punk'd. She was just the one that happened to win the challenge. I feel a little bad for Kira too. She had a bad day and this probably just made it worse. Her activity level was improving and she didn't deserve to go. Why did I vote for her, then? I pretty much had to. It would've certainly raised an eyebrow from Spike and Chuckie had I turned on a playgroup buddy so quick. Plus Howard was all "I'll never vote against a DeVille", so I just followed his lead. If she had stayed though, I would've been fine with that. Maybe even preferred it. She was going to help me go after Angelica and it's not like Betty has been any use in challenges so far. Step 1: Make sure Spike, Chaz, Kimi, Howard, Chuckie or myself win HoH Step 2: Nominate Lucy, Angelica, Tommy and/or Stu Step 3: Send Lucy or Angelica or both home Step 4: Profit This is, if everything goes to plan.......<<< is a great example of a sentence you shouldn't use to end a confessional, if you believe in jinxes. Banana hammock. |

Congrats on F17! It's not much but surviving a night is something! Where do you go from here? What do you make of my cryptic message in the schedule thread? You mention going after Angelica, do you actually have the support to make such a move at this stage of the game? What's up with you/Spike/Chaz/Kimi/Howard/Chuckie? New alliance? Why should one of you win so bad? Is this a "I know they'll keep me safe" thing or is there more to it? You are fantastic in this! I think Big Brother was your ~nitch~ all along. Having seen you play THREE times. Phil >>> the rest! |

That's not an official alliance, just people that I feel confident in and people that will listen to me when I suggest nominees. I forgot Dil on that list. I'm always forgetting Dil because he's so disconnected from my other alliances and I have no idea what I want to do with the guy. We have a great relationship, and I think I'm his go-to guy at the moment, but as far as the big picture, I'm just not seeing how he slots in. I know his plans include me, and I know they include Drew to some extent, but other than that, I know fuck all. Getting Angelica out certainly won't be easy. I can tell she's a good player so she may well have friends in places that I don't know about. But we've talked basically zero strategy so keeping her around does nothing for my game. If she doesn't go soon, I'm going to be living every round in fear that she will win the HoH. So, the task for today is to poison the well against her. I'm glad you're enjoying me in this game, Blue. I'm enjoying it too. Thanks for asking me back, I'm happy that I'm able to repay the faith you had in me. I did promise you I would play a more aggressive game this time, and I think I've done that? Big Brother certainly has a lot more intensity than Survivor, because the game can TOTALLY change just based on who wins HoH. And then, it doesn't matter how many eggs in your basket, one bad egg can spoil everything. I could leave at any time! |

I need some strategic insight from you this round. Lay out all your deals for me. Who you're loyal to the most... who poses a threat to your game etc... luv ya!

I'd told most people I spoke to yesterday to NOT nominate two no-shows and give Lucy a free veto again but unfortunately Dil was the one person I missed out. If me, Kimi, Howard, Spike or Chaz had won, then Angelica would've been put up...or so I was led to believe. Regardless, Betty leaving didn't impact the game much, if she's gonna be inactive then weed them out I say! The only mildly interesting thing to happen that round was that the vote was so close. Me and Stu ran some numbers and there's still at least two Tommy votes unaccounted for. I have no idea who made them. I don't get it, were people trolling? Did people hate Tommy and want to send him a message? I've personally found Tommy very hard to get in this game and wanted to see him go up just to get some idea of his challenge ability more than anything. Dude is a complete mystery. He randomly decided to start playing a few days ago when he told me he didn't think his playgroup liked him, but other than that, I have no idea what's up with him. As for nominations...same as last time. Angelica, Stu, Tommy and Lucy. Can't have a PoV without Lucy! I feel it's my duty to nominate some active people tonight and give you an actual contest, seeing as you were so excited about last night's challenge. As for deals...Well, there's the Phil/Lil/Kimi/Chuckie alliance (not to be confused the Lil' Kim alliance, a fangroup for everyone's favorite female rapper) that was made on day 1. I think it's still good, but Chuckie is so damn quiet, he might be drifting away from us. don't know if Kimi and Lil are keeping their connection open either, soin order to keep Kimi onside I had to create what I call the network of awesomeness, a F3 with me/Kimi/Chaz. Chaz and Kimi are two of the most level-headed and strategic players in the game, so the idea is for all three of us to try and HBIC our playgroups as much as we can. Chaz is also part of the DeVille-Finster connection, which is my main strategic connection to Howard. Howard's taking it very seriously as is Chuckie last time I asked. Then there's my playgroup trio. Spike is all for this, and was PMing me during the last vote trying to get me to save Betty with him. Chuckie I'm not sure on. When I asked him about it, he just said "I hope we win lots of challenges ". Hey, nobody gives non-committal douche answers better than me, so I know one when I see one.I have an alliance with Dil which I'm pretty sure no-one knows about. He's been a good asset so far. I don't necessarily have an official alliance with Drew, but we have a good connection. Not unbreakable though, he told me he wasn't willing to vote out Angelica...causing some furious backtracking on my part because that guy leaks everything. And then finally, I'll let this PM explain my last alliance, which was the LOL moment of yesterday:
Yes, we're aligned with Lou of all people and forgot about it. Lou is sort of the Dan Lembo of the game. A complete non-entity that sucks in challenges and only once in a while pops up to provide a brief LOL moment like a funny gif or something, yet still inexplicably skates by. And if the right people win HoH, he'll survive again tonight. |

Haiiiiiiiiii! How FUN was it to lose two people? Less people to message <3 Even better to be SAFE SAFE SAFE! Do you have some mild appreciation for Tommy because he didn't nominate you? Or will you cut him soon because people think he's weird?What would have happened had Angelica not "quit"? Was Dil in danger or no? Thoughts on Lucy? Yeah yeah yeah everyone "hates" her but she's clearly decent at comps. Almost as if the bitch is due a HOH one of these days. What are you to do to avoid her "wrath" should the ~worst~ happen? Have you tried reaching out to her in anyway? Congrats on F14!! |

Yay for final 14. If this was Blue's World 7, I'd be on the jury already. It feels like we're getting somewhere now. I had a feeling Tommy would be a secret challenge whore and wouldn't you know it, he was! I don't think there was anyone there other than Chaz, Kimi and Cynthia that wasn't on the verge of shitting themselves when he pulled out that win. I bet he loved it, watching everyone else sweat, and why wouldn't he? In his position, I'd be all "Who's the boss now, bitch? Beg for your lives!" I don't know if Angelica still would've gone if she hadn't quit. Very possibly. Me, Kimi and Charlotte were voting against her for sure...Chaz, Lou and Howard would've been at least enough for a tie. But regardless, it was a pretty weaksauce ending for one of the major characters of the game. What was her reasoning again? Too much for her to handle? Lame. I bet it wouldn't have been too much if she hadn't got nominated last night. I don't blame Daggett for badgering (beavering?) her about it. So seeing her go was a big relief for me, it's one less enemy to deal with and I can breathe a little easier at HoH challenges now. Drew as a sweet kid and I liked him, but it was obvious not attending any of the challenges/evictions was going to catch up with him eventually. As for your Lucy question, I actually don't think my relationship with Lucy is that bad. It's not great or anything, but it's certainly better than, say, Dil's. Or Charlotte's. Anyway, I think we finally have a way to get Lucy out - put her up against Tommy. He can't compete for the next HoH, he doesn't have many allies, and he's a freakin' challenge beast. The main drawback? The possibility of having to feel Tommy's wrath again in two rounds time, if he wins another HoH. Which he's very capable of doing. |

I suppose I should answer this, although the weekend took me out of Game Mode a bit. I'm hoping to get back into it soon. A lot of people in this game are working on the theory that Lil is with Lucy. I don't know if there is concrete evidence for this, or if people are just pissed/paranoid she was sucking up to her and that they voted together at the last vote. I've heard Tommy's name thrown in there too, so if this is real, it should absolutely be taken seriously, as those are three of the biggest challengewhores and could easily run the game. I know Lil did not want to put up Tommy last round because we're apparently in an alliance with him and I either forgot about it or she didn't tell me. Lil has a habit of putting me in alliances without asking me, so it could be either. Lil's never done me wrong in this game so I don't think I need her out urgently, but if you think I'm afraid to cut my own sister, think again. I'm fine with her having a big target on her back. Hell, I even helped put it there by letting it be known she was targeting Howard (Hopefully I wasn't the only one who did that that though). I wanted to burn her a little bit, as she's trying to play to the jury and that needs to be stopped. More importantly, I don't want to be left out of any Lil hate train movement and go down with the ship. People are no longer thinking of us as inseparable, so that's great news. Chuckie is trying to defend Lil rather than distance himself from her, though. If this alliance is a real thing, Chuckie is obviously a part of it. I haven't had a good feeling about him for a while and if I was really good, I'd find a way to get him out soon. He's probably too well-insulated right now though. But seeing as I haven't cut my ties with them completely I'm hopefully not in the crosshairs of the anti-Lil alliance or the challengewhore alliance. They're both after eachother and I'm reaping all the benefits.

If you won, who would you nominate and why?
I know you were paranoid about someone not talking to you randomly winning HOH. On a scale from 1-10 how scared will you be if Lou won it?
