Episode Two
One Plight One Fight

Welcome back to Big Brother Secrecy. When we last left the house Donna and JD quickly became the first HOHs. Then after their nominations of Tom and Ellie were made the house seemed to have settled down, but that didn't last for long. As Gerald and Eva contemplated who to vote, Gerald brought up the topic of Lisa, this brought Eva and Gerald to a long debate, ending with Gerald's promise to finally talk to Lisa. Will Lisa and Gerald finally rekindle their friendship or will their hatred towards each other continue? Let's find out tonight, on Big Brother Secrecy!

Gerald: So apparently Lisa is ignoring that we exist? Did she get hit in the head with a light bulb?
Eva: I don't get it, maybe you should talk to her even though I know how much you're sort of bitter about her...
Gerald: Did you talk to her? I don't like that bitch at all! Your taking me to the Final 2 right?
Eva: RIGHT, you better take me!
Gerald: You better take me!
Eva: Well then you better go talk to Lisa, I need you two to work things out to help us here!
Gerald: Fine I'll go talk to her, I'm not saying we will come out any better, it will probably make things worse but I'll do it, for you!

Lisa sat in the backyard alone and saw Gerald quickly approaching her from the corner of her eye, she and Gerald had met before and she knew this time would come eventually...

Gerald: So Lisa, thought you had a life now? Thought you had duties to do? And you don’t know me and Eva, shocking!
Lisa: Woah huh?
Gerald: Do you not remember us Lisa?
Lisa: Yes I do Gerald, I was just upset that you stopped talking to me.
Gerald: Why are you telling people you don't then?
Lisa: Telling people?
Gerald: Well, I got approached by some people today and people that know you and that know you have met me before, saying that you had never met me and Eva before! Lying already?
Lisa: Gerald, I was trying to respect your wishes to pretend I don’t exist, because yes, it bothers me a lot that you hate me apparently. I thought you didn’t want to be associated with me. Valerie was the only one to ask me that.
Gerald: I don't hate you, just a little hot headed towards you at this point.
Lisa: What did I ever do? You haven’t talked to me in months. I’ve been upset by it because I think of you as a good friend, and I STILL do not care what you say. It just bothers me that we haven’t been able to talk.
Gerald: You deleted your forum.
Lisa: We both did things we regret, Gerald, I should not have done that. But you also hurt me tremendously by calling me names and not asking me calmly why.
Gerald: Well is shouldn't have done that.
Lisa: We both shouldn’t have done either I'll admit it.
Gerald: I know we should have.
Lisa: I just don’t understand the..."hot headedness" towards me. I mean, I could never be mad at you.
Gerald: I know you couldn't, but you have to understand you deleted your whole forum. It's just that part that really aggravated me.
Lisa: It bothered me that... we're supposed to be really great friends.
Gerald: I know, and we were.
Lisa: Yet you didn’t let me explain why I felt how I did.
Gerald: I wasn't listening.
Lisa: I wish that we still were friends, but from the greeting you gave me... I guess you don’t feel the same.
Gerald: I don’t know what to feel, time passes and, I can get over it.
Lisa: Yeah, I’ve been over it...I was never angry, just really hurt and upset.
Gerald: I’m sorry
Lisa: You don’t have to lie.
Gerald: I’m not lying!
Lisa: I’ve been sorry too but its hard to tell you that.
Gerald: You piss me off, you get the cold shoulder...
Lisa: Gerald, you hurt me too... a lot. And when I get into a difference with a really good friend I talk it out I don’t like to lose friends because of something trivial.
Gerald: I know, and I really am truly sorry. You are right there, and I hate doing that.
Lisa: I’m sorry too, I really am. I didn’t mean to make you upset, it just kind of shocked me how you reacted... that was all.
Gerald: I’m sorry, but at that time, something like that really just pisses you off.
Lisa: I didn’t mean to piss you off though, I really didn’t. I did care about you as a friend, I didn’t mean for you to get hurt by it, and I didn’t realize that it would. I’m just stupid I guess.
Gerald: Nah not stupid, it’s ok. We can always forget.
Lisa: Are you sure you mean all this? Or is this just because we're in a game together now? Because I’ve been wanting to talk t you about this for a while.
Gerald: I have been thinking about it a lot, and was just like, I hate that, that thing happened.
Lisa: I hate it too, I think we both should have been more understanding.
Gerald: I think so to.
Lisa: I’m way too emotional when I start crying.
Gerald: And not so immature, mostly on my part.
Lisa: We're both immature to a point, you’re not the only one. So...are we friends again? And NOT just for the game? I mean not just because of that, ah I don’t make sense.
Gerald: This is not just for the game, I promise! This is for our friendship.
Lisa: I promise too! And I didn’t mean to offend you by saying I didn’t recognize your name I thought you would have wanted me to say no, since you were mad.
Gerald: Oh it's ok, I was just curious to why you said that.
Lisa: Well geeze Gerald, if I spout out everyone I know like you and Eva in this instance, well that would be bad I thought.
Gerald: Duh, yeah that might be bad. But to someone who is Valerie. She knows all about our past and stuff.
Lisa: See, I don’t know her though. You do, I don’t.
Gerald: She is suspecting you of lying.
Lisa: Ah, I didn’t mean to lie bad though, I just thought it wouldn’t be the smartest thing to do. I mean it would endanger anyone I named. Like you, Eva and me. I guess we all think of stuff differently.
Gerald: Yes I think so to, other people are suspicious of you and Landon as well for some reason.
Lisa: Are you serious? Why?
Gerald: I dunno where it came from.
Lisa: I don’t know where it could have either, that’s really weird.
Gerald: Hmm, we're good now though right, I wouldn’t want to leave and us not be.
Lisa: Yeah, I’m so glad we finally got to talk, I missed talking to you!
Gerald: Aw, I know and I missed talking to you.

Lisa:

I want to say that Gerald, I don't hate you, you have no real reason to hate me. I was stressed, you called me names, I never once lashed out at you because I always saw you as a great friend. All you did was call me things and hurt my feelings because I cared a lot about you as a friend and always stood up for you. Anyone that knows me personally knows that I'm caring, emotional, and put everyone else's happiness in front of my own. To me, friendship is what matters most, and I always stood up for Gerald and just being in this game with him as he holds this useless grudge against me just hurts a lot. But, if he does decide to hold that grudge into this game, then I'll just have to take him out very soon, he won't last for long if that's what he decides to do. Gerald apologized to me so that I would keep his butt safe. He doesn't mean anything, I  wish he would, but he doesn't right now, I'm letting him believe that everything is "picture perfect" and I'm his ally but of course, that won't last forever.

As Lisa and Gerald continued to rekindle their friendship, James and Brett were quickly plotting a huge play in the house by adding not one, but two people to their alliance...

James: I was asked to form an alliance that I wanted to talk to you about.
Brett: Who's in it?
James: Lisa and Landon.
Brett: Can I tell you something real quick...
James: Yea, no problem.
Brett: I don't know if this is completely true....and I don't hold things from past games, but I heard Landon isn't too trustworthy.
James: Oh, really?
Brett: However.... I don't know this off hand...it's just hearsay, but that is what I’ve heard.
James: Oh ok. Have you heard this around?
Brett: Like the last Big Brother game I was in a few people said that.
James: Hmm ok. Also, in all honesty, I really like JD.
Brett: I do to, I think he's cool.
James: He has a great attitude.
Brett: I also like Ellie...she is a great girl, she is a cool person. I got an idea! Why don't we ask Ellie and JD to make an alliance with us? How do you like that idea?
James: That sounds awesome, I was just thinking the same thing!
Brett: Sweet...what are you gonna say to Landon?
James: I just am acting as if I forgot.
Brett: Oh.
James: It was a few days ago when he made the proposition.
Brett: Haha, he isn’t even talking to me. I have a hard time keeping a conversation with him too.
James: Yeah I know what you mean.
Brett: He says "hi" and then its over.
James: The people who I can actually make conversations with are Krista, you, Ellie and JD and Donna.
Brett: Basically the same here too, Krista and Donna are cool too. Or in your words she is “hysterical.”
James: Yeah they are, Krista is so awesome, but that's also a threat.
Brett: Yes I agree...plus you don’t want too many people in the alliance... that just causes more drama down the road since everyone want to win.
James: Yes. That's why I think the four of us would be content.
Brett: I agree. Want me to talk to Ellie and you can talk to JD?
James: Yeah I'd feel comfortable talking with JD no problem.
Brett: Ok, I can talk to Ellie.
James: There could be a likely chance that you or me and Ellie could win HOH which would be awesome.
Brett: Yes it would be.
James: If us four could get to final 8 then we'd have 4 vs. 4.
James: Ok!
Brett: And if we keep it a good enough secret the other four won't even know about us. Then we can get through no problem.
James: I know. This is so awesome!
Brett: But don't forget, I'm still loyal to our final two pact all the way.
James: I as well man!
Brett: *High Five*

Brett:

Hopefully if this alliance Idea works out, Me, James, Ellie and JD will be the final four. This should work out perfectly, as long as we keep it a secret!

As the time passed the houseguests started getting to know each other better and even started discussing their home life...

JD: Hi Gerald, I mean Turk.
Gerald: Hehe, so what are you doing?
JD: Just getting to know mostly everyone from the game, how about yourself?
Gerald: Oh, I’m listening to music.
JD: Ooh what song?
Gerald: The format- On your Porch.
JD: Hmm never heard of them.
Gerald: It’s a good song, my boyfriend gave it to me.
JD: Oh cool! So you have a boyfriend at the age of 16? That’s interesting that people so young are out of the closet like that.
Gerald: Yes, not usually.
JD: Yeah I know, I cant see that around here where I live, it’s the main line-everyone drives BMWs and has Louis Yitton/Prada/Kate Spade- I wear A&F and Polo t-shirts, only society. So.. there is nobody that is "out of the closet.”
Gerald: Are you gay? If I can ask.
JD: Haha no, I’m not.
Gerald: Ah
JD: But I don’t blame anyone who lives in my area who is and hasn’t said so.
Gerald: What area do you live in?
JD: It’s the suburbs of Philadelphia, I live 40 minutes west of Philly. Basically the OC on the East Coast. No beach, but everything else.
Gerald: Why, that doesn’t sound so bad. I live in a town with only 1000 people in it. Haha
JD: Haha its not horrible, but its very annoying when all everyone cares about is what they wear or how they look.
Gerald: Oh, that is terrible. That’s like it is here too, really cliquey.
JD: Yeah, I think all teenagers are going to be like that, but I feel like around here it’s worse, I dunno. Just because there’s so much affluence.
Gerald: Yeah I agree.
JD: But it’s also fun to enjoy the spoils of my friends haha.
Gerald: Hehe. Really rich town?
JD: Yeah, my school is regarded as like a private school, it’s a public school, but it is really good.
Gerald: Our school is just very like, groups are evident. We have preps, goths, scrubs, stoners etc. And they are all split apart, and your forced into one group.
JD: That’s crazy! Yeah, there aren’t really classified groups like that in my school, there are definitely cliques, not in that sense though I guess. I refuse to be part of one specific group though, I'm a floater I guess, I feel comfortable around a lot of people.

Valerie: So who do you know here in the house besides me?
Eva: Hmm, obviously I know Gerald.
Valerie: Yeah, I'd hope so!
Eva: I know! It would be kind of rude NOT to know him. And I just figured out that I know Brett.
Valerie: Oh, awesome, I've known him for a really long time.
Eva: Is your family religious?
Valerie: Yeah, basically.
Eva: Oh, yeah? My parents aren't really.
Valerie: They control the TV that I watch, sometimes I wish I could just watch WHAT I want, WHEN I want.
Eva: When can you not watch TV?
Valerie: Like most of the time, really.
Eva: Seriously? Man that's really bad. So Brett's your best friend then?
Valerie: Best friend that I keep in touch with.
Eva: That's awesome! Damn I wish I knew someone for that long. I sort of have, like.. I think maybe.. 5 years. But I lost in touch with her after a few years.
Valerie: Aw, I used to have other non-ORG online friends but they left me after I got addicted to ORG.
Eva: Seriously?
Valerie: Yes.
Eva: That sucks. So what do you think about next round in the game, I think it will be tough!
Valerie: I know! I'll need to look at people who bug me,what do you think of Landon?
Eva: Hmm, only talked to him once.
Valerie: We can't get past "hey" "hey" "sup?" "nothing much, you" "same.”
Eva: Well yea, me either, for the first half hour.
Valerie: He's not very social, which is bad in Big Brother! I know that, you know that, the cats in the animal shelter know that, my TOASTER even knows it.
*They both laugh*
Eva: He MIGHT be social.. just dunno to who.
Valerie: Lisa? Perhaps?
Eva: Perhaps.
Valerie: I know they're tight.
Eva: Everyone knows they are tight silly!
Valerie: In a game called Secrecy, that ISN'T a secret.
Eva: That’s cos, well, Krista announced it on the first day!
Valerie: True! But you know, do the guys know that? I wonder what motive Krista would have for saying that.
Eva: Maybe because Krista doesn’t like Lisa obviously.
Valerie: That's right...who DOES like Lisa? No offense if you do by the way.
Eva: Why is Lisa so bad? I’m trying to understand that. I mean I talked to her, and she sort of reminds me of Ellie.
Valerie: Yeah, I really like her too, but there are others in the house who are just "I hate Lisa SO much.”
Eva: I don’t understand that, but its only Krista.. so far. And maybe Gerald.
Valerie: Why would Gerald hate Lisa?
Eva: Oh you know.

Eva:

I actually really like Valerie. She seems to be a nice girl. She seems loyal, and honest, and just down to earth. God, this really sucks. The more I talk to some people, the more I'm getting attached with them, and the more I question about how strong Lisa and my alliance will be. I'm sure for now, it's okay, but man, when relationships DOES deepen, I only hope I put only more faith in Lisa.. *sigh* Fuck, fuck, fuck and fuck. What am I going to do now?

Valerie:

Yes, I have indeed made alliances. I formed one with Gerald, and I think Brett and I have a sort of unspoken one. That one with Gerald comes with the additional baggage of Eva. But since I love Eva a lot, that's not a problem. But there is one problem, my biggest threat at this point is definitely Eva. She's well-liked, popular, from what I know she's a challenge threat, and overall, she's one to watch out for.

As the night wound down the house still was in shock at the nominations, they all tried to comfort Ellie and make her feel safe, but not everyone felt this way...

Ellie: Hey Turk!
Gerald: What you up to? Do you have any nicknames? I might be a little weird, but I’m a really nice guy. I promise!
Ellie: Hmm... Ellie is kind of a nickname. But some people all me El, Els, L.E. You seem nice, weird is good. I'm weird too!
Gerald: Awesome, weird is good!! I like Elz, would that work for you? Hehe
Ellie: Yep! Sure. Is Turk your nickname?
Gerald: Mostly, yes. I have a bunch, Gerri, G, Turk.
Ellie: HAHA, Gerri is cute. I like G too. Sounds gangsta! Not that I know what gangsta is.
Gerald: Neither do I, so lets just not know together hehe. You can call me Gerri!
Ellie: Ok, sure Gerri! How was your day, by the way?
Gerald: It was great, well it was ok besides the chap lip part.
Ellie: You have chapped lips?
Gerald: Yes, I get them all the time. Too much making out. Hehe, just kidding.
Ellie: Lucky guy! I think that would be worth all the making out... constant chapped lips.
Gerald: You are my kind of girl, don’t worry I'm gay. So tell me some more about yourself.
Ellie: Lets see... I'm so boring. Let me think of something good.. I'm 18, from New Hampshire and I love animals. I have 2 cats, a dog, and a horse
Gerald: Wow.
Ellie: I really like horses - I know very lame.
Gerald: I like horses, I was thinking about painting a horse today in art. Well I’m the exact opposite, I love horror movies.
I like dogs but i cant keep one and I’m 16 from Washington.
Ellie: I like horror movies too... usually really cheesy ones. I love dogs too... My dogs name is Bugsy and she's like my child.
Gerald: Oh I love cheesy ones, hehe.
Ellie: They're the best... easy to make fun of with your friends!
Gerald: Yes, definitely, so what else do you like?
Ellie: I'm a huge Stevie Nicks fan, which most people my age find weird as hell.
Gerald: Stevie Nicks! You are my idol
Ellie: You like her? I love her!!
Gerald: Nice!

Gerald:

I think Ellie is pretty secure this week, unless some bitches try to stir the pot. Which would be terrible, cause I really get along with Ellie, and I think she deserves to stay. I won't be evicting her, and I'm hoping others won't.

Eva:

When it was only my key, Ellie's and Tom's left, I was literally crying out loud. Finally, my key was pulled and I suddenly relaxed. But then I realized who was up -- Ellie and Tom? Tom, I understand because no one has seen him yet, but Ellie? My goodness, she's one of the nicest people here. Then I found out later than Donna put her up, and I was quite disappointed in her decision. I have a feeling Donna won't be making it through, and I won't be surprised if she ends up getting put up next week. She's not only a boring player, but not talkative and very secretive. She's definitely not someone I want to be aligned with. She's definitely out in my list. As for Ellie, I'm pretty sure she's a pawn, but sometimes I find her a bit too... nice. She doesn't have anything bad to say about anyone, which freaks me out a little... would she be "kind-ing" her way through the rest of the game?

Valerie:

So we near the end of our first week in the BB Secrecy house. A little summary of the week's events. JD and Donna win the luck HoH. If I have my way, that's the only HoH they'll win. Either of them. Then each of them nominates one person. o JD and Donna made their nominations. Damn. I really wanted Landon nominated. He deserves to go so much more than...say...Ellie. I don't know who did who, but whoever nominated Ellie was stupid. Seriously. Why nominate the possible sweetheart? I'm the sweetheart with an ace up her sleeve. But Ellie is just pure and simple sweetheart, like me when I was a beginning ORGer. The other HoH puts up Tom, which was the smartest move, even if it wasn't the nomination I would have wanted. I want Landon nominated next round. Landon and Krista, perhaps. So JD and Donna made their nominations. Damn. I really wanted Landon nominated. He deserves to go so much more than...say...Ellie.
 

The votes weren't what Ellie was worried about though, all she cared about is exactly why she was nominated...

Ellie:

It's not a good feeling being nominated, obviously. I really didn't like Donna's reasoning for putting me up either. Had she given a more concrete reason for nominating me I'd have more respect for her decision. I just hope I make it through this round because I feel I could do way better than being evicted first.

Donna: Sorry you got nominated, but I think your safe.
Ellie: It's ok, I guess.
Donna: It wasn't against you. I think because Tom isn't really here that he will go, I was hoping you would understand.
Ellie: I do, sort of.
Donna: I don't blame you, no one wants to be vulnerable
Ellie: I don't know.. it's my first game and now I have a 50/50 shot of going. It's kind of upsetting. It's ok... I just really hope I'm safe. Do you think I am?
Donna: I think you are safe. I was kind of using you as a pawn. I don't want to ruffle feathers at this point. I know Brett said he wouldn't vote for you
Ellie: Aw, that's good to know

Ellie:

I can't believe how naive I was. Being nominated first is like a slap in the face and I don't understand Donna's reasoning. She says she doesn't want to ruffle any feathers. Ok, I guess she's not concerned about MY feathers. If I ever win HoH or have the chance to vote her out, I'm going to jump at it. She made it clear that she has no regard for me as a player and now I have none for her. At least I got to see where she stood this early. Now I know I can't trust her at all. As for the vote, I'm really not sure. Everyone says I'm the pawn but doesn't the pawn in Big Brother games end up being evicted half the time? I've had a lot of people tell me they weren't voting for me including Eva, Lisa, Landon, and Gerri. So I feel reasonably safe. I just hope this isn't a house full of liars!

Donna finally left Ellie and as her eyes teared up JD felt she he needed to comfort his good friend...

JD: Ugh, Donna and I got to pick one person each, I told her I picked Tom.
Ellie: That's what I thought.
JD: She was like "ok then I'll pick Ellie.” I was like "um ok?" And I didn’t want to be like "oh no don’t do that!" I didn’t want her to know I'm friends with you. I feel like Tom’s a sure bet, but I’m still talking to everyone.
Ellie: I guess so. Nothings a sure bet really.
JD: Yeah I know, well as far as I’ve talked, Landon, and James are voting Tom out.
Ellie: That's good to hear, I guess.
JD: I just don’t get why anyone would vote you out over Tom.
Ellie: Well, Tom seems boring so maybe they'll think they can get him out easier later on.
JD: Hmm, well, if people did that, they'd be setting the tone for a nasty game.
Ellie: True. If it's that nasty of a game then I guess I wouldn't mind leaving first.
JD: Yeah, I'll want to follow you out next if you go. But I honestly do not think you'll leave.
Ellie: I hope not. I'd love to stay and play more.
JD: Well I'll be campaigning subtly for you, and if Lisa and Landon are buddies like everyone says they are, they'll vote the same way, which will be against Tom.
Ellie: You and Donna don't vote, correct?
JD: Negative, unless it’s a tie. In which case, I guarantee you that Tom is leaving. So you really only need 4 votes to stay.
Ellie: I like your logic!
JD: Trust me Ellie, I have your back! You're not going anywhere if I have anything to do with it!
Ellie: Thanks I hope not. Is there a veto?
JD: Negative, which sucks but I don’t think we need it for now.
Ellie: Damn!
JD: Yeah.
Ellie: It seems like I might stay. At least that's what Lisa said and Eva said she couldn't believe I was nominated.
JD: I really think you have nothing to worry about.
Ellie: Landon said the same, Eva just said she wouldn't vote for me either!
JD: Which also means Valerie/Gerald won’t either, so that’s 6. Brett wont vote for you, it will probably be unanimous. Unless you fall off the face of the earth and Tom comes out and makes contact with everyone.
Ellie: I won't, I promise. I hope Tom doesn't do any major campaigning.
JD: I  don’t think he will.
Ellie: Gerald said he wasn't going to vote for me!
JD: YES!
Ellie: Donna says Brett said he wouldn't vote for me too, I sure hope this game isn't filled with liars.

JD:

Ellie seems to be okay with the nomination. Originally she appeared upset, but I think she realized that she's going to be safe. People could just be lying to her, and if that's the case this game will be very dirty. But I have faith that these people wouldn't be heartless and vote her out. I hope not at least. Otherwise, I'm screwed.

As all the houseguests worried about who to vote for, the other Nominee Tom finally came out from hiding and nervously approached a very surprised James...

James: Hey Tom!
Tom: Hi there.
James: How are you?
Tom: I'm alright and you?
James: Doing good, so how do you feel about being nominated?
Tom: I'll survive it. It's completely understandable and I'll get by one way or another.
James: I don’t know, what have you heard?
Tom: Not to much, but I'm going to stay optimistic!
James: Aw, that's the spirit!
Tom: Yep, definitely!

James quickly pushed Tom out of the way as he saw Gerald come into the house, he needed to make sure there was no tension between them...

James: I was just curious, do you like me or not? Because at the opening night it didn't seem like you did.
Gerald: I don’t have an opinion on you... because you really haven’t talked to me.
James: I think it's because of what you said to me at the opening night and I just got scared of you, in a weird sort of way.
Gerald: You shouldn’t be scared of me, it's just seemed like you were putting on this character of "all truth.”
James: No, not at all, you can't expect a Christian to not lie, that's a stereotype.
Gerald: Mhm
James: And I really don't want you to think that I'm like anti-gay or whatever because that's not the fact at all, and I really want to get to know everyone so I'm sorry.
Gerald: I never thought you were anti-gay.
James: Oh ok.
Gerald: I just had a problem with what you said that first night.
James: Geez, I'm coming up with the wrong things to say aren't I. I did as well but the other way around.
Gerald: What do you mean?
James: How you said "you should watch out" after I said that I was a religious person.
Gerald: You should, people are going to attack you for being religious.
James: I thought that meant that you were going to be the one to attack me for being religious?
Gerald: And you said "Honest and whatever,” it just seemed that you were lying already, because no one is honest in this game.
James: But that's who I am. I never said that's who I am in a game. There's a difference there.
Gerald: Mhm
James: So I'd like to apologize for whatever you thought. But in someways it kinda offended me.
Gerald: How?
James: One thing people don't realize, again, it's a hypocritical statement, CHRISTIANS ARE ALWAYS PERFECT.
Gerald: But you were preaching that you were perfect by saying honest and anything else.
James: But you interpreted that in a different way then I intended people to.
Gerald: Mhm
James: You offended me, it was like saying I better watch out for being a Christian and all religious and crap like that. There is nothing wrong with saying that I am in a game. I'm playing this game to win!
Gerald: I wasn’t pointing out that you were religious, you were saying that you were honest and all. I don’t have a problem with you...yet, so just leave it at that.

James did just that and quickly ran to Brett, he needed Ellie's commitment to an alliance so he dragged her into their room...

Brett: So are we all good on the alliance idea?
Ellie: Sure, I'm in... I think we can go far, the three of us, if I get past this first vote.
Brett: I hope you do! You two are the coolest in the game, I know I’m in an alliance with people that I actually like.
James: No you two are the coolest, I'm simply the best.
*They all laugh*
Ellie: A lot of people have told me they voted Tom, but I guess you never really can be sure. Many of them just told me flat out without me asking, so I would hope they wouldn't blatantly lie to my face like that.
Brett: I hope you don't go, I haven’t even talked to Tom.
James: I discussed the vote with Landon and Lisa several times, they will be voting Tom as to what I can gather.
Ellie: If I did go it would be a slap in the face being beaten by someone who doesn't even talk. But JD even assured me that if we did have a tie that I would be safe, Donna too.
James: JD seems like an honest guy, I'd totally trust him if he said something like that.
Brett: I'm always afraid when I play games with a Gerald...how many are there in the ORG world...do either of you know?
James: Guys named Gerald?
Brett: Yeah, how many are there?
James: Hmm not many, but this game is filled with surprises. He could be like a Secrecy Spy or Bug.
Ellie: No idea, have you talked to Gerald yet?
James: I have, and I have no respect for him. I hate to say it!
Brett: Well, I talked to him once, but he really didn't talk much.
Ellie: I like Gerald, but I don't agree with what he said to you James. He also knows quite a few people I here. Also, he's talkative with me but he does go quiet, but then he eventually responds. I think he likes females better.
James: Yeah, I'm threatened by him and almost intimidated.
Brett: Why, what happened?
James: I already told myself that if I win the HOH I'd probably nominate him. Unless otherwise.
Brett: Did he say something to you?
James: Remember that "I should watch my back because I'm religious" statement that he said to me? That still really pisses me off!
Brett: Oh that was him that was saying?
Ellie: For some reason I think he likes females better.
James: He told me he was gay. I don't know, I think that since he knows that I'm Christian, he is like 0o0o anti-gay yet he doesn't want to admit that's the case.
Brett: Yea, he is gay, someone said that. I don’t know why he would think you are anti-gay right off the bat. He didn’t even talk to you did he?
James: No, but when I talk to people in real life who are homosexual they flip. And it is all because I'm Christian. I even have gay friends, so it doesn't bother me at all.
Ellie: Same! I don't think any less of a person because they're gay.
Brett: Nor do I.
James: Exactly! Haha.
Brett: I don’t understand why people let it bother them...but they do I guess.
James: We need a change of subject, so do you guys that think we should get a fourth in our alliance to make the numbers equal? It's just a thought to ponder I guess.
Brett: Well, it couldn't hurt, do you have anyone in mind? If its ok with you guys its fine with me.
Ellie: That's fine, who did you have in mind though?
Brett: Do you know of anyone James?
James: Well personally I know that Landon and Lisa have a deal as of the moment, so I rather not interfere with that, ya know?
Brett: Yeah.
James: Donna, I've seen her actions in games before, she is a sweet person, but she is a competitive person and has screwed me over in games before. Gerald, I don't really care for.
Ellie: I don't want Donna. She nominated me and her reasoning made me uneasy.
James: Krista I have a feeling has some sort of fling going on with Gerald, just because of how they interact with each other.
Ellie: If anyone else I'd say JD, he's so nice and intelligent.
James: JD, was actually my #1 choice.
Brett: I like JD, well, I guess it’s unanimous, we should ask him. Guys, I'm totally loyal to our alliance, I'll give my word right now.
*All three shake hands*

Brett:

This is awesome! We were trying to bring JD's name up without it being so obvious to Ellie that we already had planned to include him...but she shouted out his name before we did. Couldn't have happened any better. Now we just gotta ask JD!

As morning came the houseguests were woken up with an announcement for all of them to get ready and go to the living room, it was time for everyone to nominate and they were in for a little surprise, another secret would be held from them, but not the last...

Co-Host Monique: TWIST TIME
Eva: blah
Brett: Oh no!
Krista: Not good!
Landon: On yeah!
Host Joe: I have another secret to reveal to you all, the vote tally will not be revealed during any eviction AT ALL throughout the whole game!
Gerald: Oh, coolio beansus!
Eva: Ooh!
Ellie: Is this a good thing?

Before the votes were made both nominees, Ellie and Tom, were allowed to say their peace to all of their friends and enemies...

Ellie:

I'm not going to lie and say being nominated is no big deal because it is a big deal. As it stands, I have a 50/50 shot of being evicted first and that's very scary and upsetting. However, I knew I would have to deal with this eventually although I had hoped it would be later, so I'm prepared to try my hardest to stay in the house. I'm not giving up because I feel I do deserve to be here competing along side everyone else. I should stay in the house because I really do care about this game. Just like everyone, I want to do my best and I know I could do better than being evicted first. I'm sure Tom could too but I really have tried hard to get to know my fellow houseguests. I genuinely want to start friendships and relationships that will hopefully last outside of the game. All I want is the chance to keep on playing. That's all I ask. If I'm safe this week and evicted next week, well, then so be it. I obviously wasn't meant to be playing these games! I know that if anyone of you were nominated in my place you would want the chance, as the more deserving player, to stay. So please give me that chance. Thanks!

Tom:

I have nothing to say.

It was now time for everyone to vote, they each entered the diary room to give their opinions on each of the nominees and cast their vote for eviction...

Gerald:

Ellie is a terrific person and it would really suck if she went.

Tom is a good person as well, but I just don't think he can hack it.


I vote to Evict.... TOOOOM
Sorry boy, I just don't think you deserve to be here.
 

Krista:

Tom is someone who seems to be very nice and very well rounded. I have heard that he is a good guy in general.

Ellie is a wonderful girl who has a lot to offer. All she does is bring happiness to the table.

Unfortunately, Tom isn't around the same times I'm around due to his work schedule. So, I will have to say that I cannot get to know him any more than I already have for that reason.

Ellie with her personality and kindness is eventually going to turn into a threat. Someone who is nice is someone who you need to evict.

I vote to evict Tom.

James:

Ellie seems really outgoing, seems really into the game and sounds as if she can make friends really easy with her positive attitude and outlook on the game. She also presents herself really well in the game.

Tom is a very optimistic person in the house and staying optimistic with the fact that he is nominated and has a chance in being the first evicted.

With Ellie being so outgoing and always being positive could be a threat down the road and could swipe the jury votes.

Tom just doesn't seem to much into this game as much as Ellie and I would hate to cut Ellie's game short by voting her over a person who isn't very motivated about the game. With that said....

I vote to evict TOM

Eva:

Ellie is a very nice person. She's one of 3 people I've talked to who I have not known before the game and I have felt a great connection to.

I don't know much about Tom. However, if Tom is kept around, he'll be a huge controversy since he's so inactive. Thus, that means, my allies and I will be safe for at least another week.

Because Ellie is so nice, I feel like she can just ride on other people's back to get far in the game. She is not too strategic either, and I don't really trust her that much in the game yet in order to include her as one of my "allies."

Since I don't talk to Tom, there might be a huge possibility that Tom might be active again and doesn't like me and tries to kick me out of the house.

I vote to evict Tom.

Brett:

~Positives~

Ellie: She is such a great person. I had the best chat with her the other night and she is definitely my favorite person here. No doubt about it.

Tom: From what I hear Tom is really cool.

~Negatives~

Ellie: Nothing Negative.

I vote to Evict Tom
I haven't talked to you yet, so it makes it really hard for me to try to keep you in the game.

Lisa:

Well, Ellie is really sweet, and we have a lot in common and get along well, so I can use that to my advantage. Tom, on the other hand, hasn't even talked to me yet. I really wish there were different nominees *cough* Krista/Valerie *cough* but I guess that I'm stuck with voting out two potential allies due to the fact that the first HOHs played it stupid and weak and basically gave Gerald and his friends a free pass for an extra week.

I vote to evict Tom.

Landon:

Ellie is a really nice person for the few times I have talked to her

I never really got the chance to talk to Tom but once

Ellie is a sweet person but is also anxious and seems to come on to strong which could hurt her in the game

As I said not much to say about tom since we don't really talk


I VOTE TO EVICT..... TOM

Valerie:

Ellie

Pros- She's very sweet, a possible future alliance member, into the game, overall a great person to have around the house

Cons- A threat down the line personality-wise

Tom

Pros- I can't think of any pros about Tom

Cons- Not really around, hasn't contributed anything to the house, easy boot


With that said, I vote to evict... Tom from the BB: Secrecy House
Reason: This vote is not so much a vote against you, Tom, it's a vote for Ellie. I love Ellie, and I want her to stay, and the only way I can accomplish that is by evicting you NOW. I hate the first round of evictions because you always wonder what could have the evictee brought to the house. Tom, you haven't brought anything, while Ellie has brought a sense of niceness to us all. I don't know about the future rounds, but at this point, it's the best move for me, and for the house, if you are evicted. Good luck you two.

With all the votes in let's go tell the houseguests the news...

Host Joe: So everyone ready to see who is evicted?
Krista: I think you're safe, everyone I talked to evicted the silent guy.
James: Jaja!
Gerald: Duh!
Host Joe: The first person evicted for Big Brother Secrecy is..... 

TOM

Krista: Yaya!
Eva: Next!
Gerald: Gooo Ellie!!
Ellie: Thanks to whoever didn't vote for me!
James: Thank god, Tom was annoying and mean to me!

Well there you have it, the first person has been evicted from the Big Brother Secrecy house by a vote of 8 - 0. Make sure to check back next time where the biggest twist of the entire game will be revealed to the houseguests, causing paranoia and confusion. Plus an argument erupts once again do to a certain nomination and the second person is evicted from the BB Secrecy House.
