Week One Entries

[Parker]

Right out of the gate when finding out what the Head of Household competition was all about I knew that I was not going to get it. It's not that I'm socially incapable and that I wouldn't be able to get people's Chenbucks but it more goes along the line that I didn't want to put an unnecessary target on my back. I also did not want people getting paranoid of me and my intentions so starting out I wanted to focus entirely on my social game, get a better feel on people, and ultimately see where their heads are at.

As the day went on and I started to meet more and more people for the first time, an interesting proposition was thrown onto the table by Braden.

bigolhank
Well...
ive asked a few pepole this
i know the first HoH is like a huge target
so im offering people safety in exchange for hooking me up with their bucks

ryouseiken17
Oh yeah I can understand that logic. :-)

bigolhank
so yea im your interested I will deifnately keep you safe

ryouseiken17
Yeah I'll totally keep that in mind bro, promised safety is never a bad thing at all in BB, thanks~

bigolhank
okay man just let me know so i know who gave me bucks and what not

ryouseiken17
Alrighty sounds good.

This made me cautious right off the bat. He's offering several different people safety, I not knowing how many exactly, and in return he gets their Chenbucks. Sometime later others began to talk to me too and my suspicions were further intensified.

Dustin Simon
Parker?

ryouseiken17
Yeah?

Dustin Simon
Has anyone asked you for your $5?

ryouseiken17
Nah not yet, I'm not even sure who I want to give my $5 yet. It's not as easy an HoH as it looks because Julie has that lil' warning to be careful with our decision.

Dustin Simon
How close are you with Braden?

ryouseiken17
Not close at all yet.
He only talked to me for about 15-20 mins today and that was the first time we talked.

Dustin Simon
He's been asking EVERYONE for the $5
And promising everyone safet]

ryouseiken17
He asked me too, yeah.
I'm not going to just give it to him obviously, I thought something was kinda sketchy
Quoting him you were right, he was asking people for their $5 and in return, give them safety.

Dustin Simon
I just wanted to warn you

ryouseiken17
Yeah I know, thanks for warning me though Dustin. It's definitely a red flag

Dustin Simon
No problem

Jameka Cameron
WeIcome back!
Ready to taIk gamepIay? =P

ryouseiken17
Haha sure.

Jameka Cameron
I just wanna see where your head is at

Jameka Cameron
Cause Braden wants my bucks
but idk if I shouId

ryouseiken17
Noooooonono
He's been asking everyone
me

Jameka Cameron
he promised me safety
but ya

ryouseiken17
dustin
you

Jameka Cameron
I heard that too
I know a few are giving it to dick cause he wants Braden out

This is just a sample of what people have told me about what Braden is doing. The dude is going around offering so many people safety in exchange for bucks & the power of HoH and it's just sketchy... you can't protect everyone. At that moment in time I knew I wasn't going to go through with my suggestion of maybe throwing my chenbucks his way, absolutely not.

[Parker]

Here's something fun to show before I get to the 'real' good stuff. I took time to talk to both Lori and Cassi and among discussing the HoH Competition we also agreed on one thing...

ryouseiken17
What do you think of Dick & Lori, our fellow roomies?

Jennifer Downton
Dick, I haven't spoken to

Jennifer Downton
and Lori seems nice

ryouseiken17
I have a bit of a theory as to what the decision could end up doing Chances are slim but it might be possible.
Maybe whoever wins HoH, the entire room gets immunity!

Jennifer Downton
That would be heaven!

Lori Valenti
yeah, it's a toss up
do you know who you're going to give you money too?

Lori Valenti
wait and this is parker right? lol just making sure
i need to change the names on here

ryouseiken17
Not yet, I'd probably feel most comfy giving my bucks to someone in our room though like you or Cassi. (yes this is Parker xD) since I've actually talked with you two the most and gotten the chance to know you both better than the others so far.

Lori Valenti
our room should just keep each other safe for a little bit

ryouseiken17
Yeah, I mean it doesn't have to be an alliance or anything but seeing the twist might refer to our rooms and the three wise monkies (thats what the names of the rooms are based off of) it'd probably be smart for us to have one another's backs through the first few rounds of competition.

Lori Valenti
right, i totally agree

So the Kikazaru Room is more than likely going to work together for the few rounds, at least until the Veto Store twist is over preferably which is not going to be until the end of Week 5. Oi vey...

This next entry is quite the doozy... it's a conversation Dick and I had about the above situation and his thoughts on it. It also came to my attention that people were coming to 'him' now as a form of countermeasure against Braden, slightly unusual but at least this is someone I am more comfortable with. It's like choosing between two evils, I'll pick the one that I can most likely keep under control in the long run.

dpd2108
yeahhh that would be funny
and they'd be pumped up to win a veto
so what's up with our game? lol braden is going psycho

ryouseiken17
You noticed that too huh? Several other people including myself were asked to give him our bucks and in return, give us safety.

dpd2108
yeah it started with myself and adria
like.. 4 hrs ago
and he came up with this idea
and I was like... okay. I'll do it.. you gotta put up floaters.
but now.. he's like asking EVERYONE
lol
he literally made a post in his bedroom
offering deals to everyone
I was like... uh oh. who's guna go up?

ryouseiken17
You can't predict whose going up because he asked so many people

dpd2108
he's promising everyone the same thing!
lol
I know!
like.. I hope people understand that lol
I had to change my votes... I'm not giving any to him now.
that's nutz

ryouseiken17
He's probably trying to ask everyone but the nominees he already has in mind to give him his bucks for their safety, one of his noms go home, we're supposedly supposed to be happy and trust him and things are hunky-dory
Yeah I don't plan on giving him any of my $ either

dpd2108
yeah I was just like... that's not a good deal
it was good when it was like 2 people
maybe 3
but promising the whole house safety is ridiculous
now people are saying they're voting for me as an alternative

dpd2108
which is crazy
lol
I didn't even ask to get it lol

ryouseiken17
and good! I mean what if this twist has something to do with our weird-ass rooms? xD I personally think someone from our room should try to get the power because maybe whoever does, the entire room is safe.

dpd2108
yeahh I was thinking that!
cassi said something like that too.. that she'll only be voting for ppl in our room
I mean.. I don't wanna win.

dpd2108
but if it's between me and braden
I guess I gotta go with it
this totally blows my strategy tho... I was totally going to try to throw the 1st HoH
b/c who wants to be the 1st one to put ppl up
lol

ryouseiken17
Yeah I know what you mean. Thankfully there's at least one inactive I think in the game (sheryl, right? I haven't seen her around) so you're pretty much covered nom-wise if that's the case.
Braden for making deals with everybody, and whoever the one inactive is.

dpd2108
yeah I think that's the best way to do it

dpd2108
braden just makes me nervous
I wish he didn't do thatt
I was fine with letting him win lol
like really.
he just shot himself in the foot by talking to everyone

ryouseiken17
At first it was okay with me too but then I started to hear him offering these deals around to everybody and it just got way out of hand.
exactly.

dpd2108
yeahh it was waay out of hand
I was over it once I heard about him making a post in his room
about the deal
lol
it was like... guys if you give me all 5 votes I'll keep everyone in this room safe. we'll be the power room. or something like that

dpd2108
that's when I was like... yeahh this is not good.
I'm changing my votes now lol

dpd2108
idk if I'm comfortable winning it either..
ugh
this game got so psycho
I thought the 1st week was supposed to be easy/straightforward
lol

ryouseiken17
I know right?? XD But don't worry, people will have your back and understand.
I mean.
It's better someone we can trust than someone throwing out deals to every competitor in the house.

dpd2108
yeahh. I mean it's less scary if I say .. . like the house came to me as an alternative b/c you were freaking everybody out

dpd2108
I feel bad for him in a way... I'm sure he didn't mean to go psycho.

ryouseiken17
Yeah I mean he probably didn't think about the potential consequences of going around doing something like that, but what can ya do y'know? It's a game and that's not cool. o.o

dpd2108
yeahh you gotta think
I mean.. everybody talks
what did he think? like.. we wouldn't all go.. so what's up with that deal that braden is offering everyone?
lol

ryouseiken17
Like I siad, he probably thought he could get away with it and come out as some super trustworthy guy we can all rely onm and that could've seriously benefit his game had it worked.

dpd2108
yeah I still feel bad for him... this whole thing really blew up in his face.
but I agree.. that's the game
and maybe he won't go
and like... being on the block will be his lesson learned moment
idk. we'll have to wait and see
he may still win
HoH

ryouseiken17
Yeah it's still a possibility

dpd2108
im just scared now
b/c people are giving me their votes
but like.. if I come in 2nd
and he wins.. it looks like I was totally trying to beat him

ryouseiken17
No worries bro, I mean there's that sliver of a chance but if everybody knows that Braden is pulling a lot of crap, then they'll either vote for somebody else or you. The odds of him winning have slimmed down a lot

dpd2108
like I have no idea how I was elected to be the one to stop braden from winning
lol
people just imed me and were like
we're all voting for you
b/c braden's psycho
lol

ryouseiken17
*sing* You're eval.... Eval Dick...
:-D

dpd2108
I was like... oh. okay.
hahaha
haha Evel Dick to the rescue!!

dpd2108
god. why is it always me?
lol
of course everybody elects me
right after I tell myself im going to keep a low profile

ryouseiken17
LOL
Oh the irony? XD

dpd2108
haha
this is what braden just told me
b/c he still thinks I voted for him to win... yikes!
so how'd it go with the others?
i think i have 5
five people giving you 5?
You, Adria, Scott,
Carol and Jameka
scott is giving me 4
dude that's awesome
Parker is a maybe
that's really good.
yea
I definitely know myself and Jameka didn't vote for him lol..

ryouseiken17
lol and my maybe is a no so he doesn't have as much as he thinks. xD

dpd2108
haha

ryouseiken17
Anywho I'm gonna be heading off shortly to rest (been a long, stressful day) but overall at least we have a gameplan eh? :-) I know it's probably the #1 plan in your mind because people want you to win but at the same time it could be a good start of the season for ya.

dpd2108
yeah if I do this for the house then I guess that can only be good, right? lol
but okay man. nice chatting. I'll catch ya later

This is getting really out of hand. After this whole exchange of words I went to give my $5 to Dick, fingers being crossed that I made the right choice and judgment call.
