ALLAN

1. Melisa was the first person evicted from the game. What do you think caused her to get voted out and were you surprised by this?

I just think the other nominees were a lot more vocal and during the first round anything people have to go on will count for a vote.

2. Who do you think this rounds HOH is? How are you coping with the secrecy of the HOH and how do you feel you will use it if you win one?

Hmm...maybe Bill, or JustinG, or maybe Angela or JD. I am dying to win one...I would like to nominate prominent people who talk a lot and cause shite, just to stir thigs up and force peoplpe to start making decisions about the future.

3. What are your feelings alliance wise? Have you created any new ones since the first round and how do you feel these will play into your long term strategy?

I am basically still trying to keep up with everyone and not be nominated. I am talking mostly with Mack and Justin still. ANd Angela and Clayton. I am also trying to chat up the rookies as they can nominate me. ALl of them.

4. Angela won the PoV and chose not to use it. What are your thoughts on her winning the ability to choose who plays for each the HOH and Reward challenge and which would you rather play in?

I remember this from last year when I did not get put where I wanted because the person was inactive. I think ANgela will do a good job, and I am kinda planning with her and there is a good plan. I wanna play in HOH, but I may not be around that night.


5. Tian and Ryan are the final nominations for the round. Why do you feel they were nominated and if you were the HOH who would YOU have placed on the block?

I am fine with those nominations. I am not particularly close to eoither of them. If I had been HOH I would have out .. oh god...I dunno...I woulda flipped coins.

6. Any other comments you'd like to put, please say them here.

Nah, not just yet. This is fun and a half, though!!

-- To everyone voting:

Please list pros and cons of keeping or evicting each of the nominees, and then please say who you vote to evict from Big Brother Secrecy 8. You are voting for ONE person..

TIAN

Pros - I would nominate her because I have played with her before and she plays erratically. Totally unpredictable.

COns - Keppr her because she is an easy target for future HOHs to nominate. AND she isn't good in challenges.


RYAN
Pros - It would stir things up, as I have told people I am voting Tian.
Cons - He is a nice guy that'd not nominate me if he was HOH.

I vote to evict TIAN.

Reason: You are a sketchy player. And you're too young to party.

ANGELA

1. Melisa was the first person evicted from the game. What do you think caused her to get voted out and were you surprised by this?
I think it was her inability to really carry on a conversation when she was even online at all. I was not surprised by this at all, not one bit. Although the hoh's are secret, people are not very secret about their votes yet.

2. Who do you think this rounds HOH is? How are you coping with the secrecy of the HOH and how do you feel you will use it if you win one?

I think the HOH was Justin G or Clayton for some odd reason actually. Clayton is a pretty smart guy so i woudnt put it passed him. I am coping with this JUST FINE!!!!!!! I HATE IT!!! lol, I can't stand not knowing who has hoh and not being able to kiss the right persons ass to stay lol. IF I win an HOH I will definitly use it very wisely. I have told a few people I would tell them if I get it, but I most likely won't I might tell Nate but we willl see where things are at that point. Most likely it will be a very strategical move for me. Maybe Justin T and Mack would go up. Its hard to say right now. Im getting to know Justin T a little more nice guy but I dont know. And i just dont trust Mack.

3. What are your feelings alliance wise? Have you created any new ones since the first round and how do you feel these will play into your long term strategy?

I think alliances are very important in this game, it would be more important if they talked more game with me though lol. I feel alliances will help you stay longer in the game if not, then get to the winners circle. I have my alliance with Nate and the one with Clayton and Mikey. AS well as one with Mack (which I do not feel really exists). I have no more alliances as of now I dont think lol.
I think in the long run, My allaince with Nate will be a good one. I think we have eachothers backs for sure. I would really LOVE to have an allaince with Perry and Nate they are both relaly fun guys and we have awesome convos. I am not sure how protected I am with them though. I might be more protected with Clayton and Mikey being they know like everyone. Mikey actually I think would be good to ugh, we shall see. Its way too soon to determine anything yet. Too many players.

4. Angela won the PoV and chose not to use it. What are your thoughts on her winning the ability to choose who plays for each the HOH and Reward challenge and which would you rather play in?
I am totally THRILLED ANgela won it lol. It was a good choice not to use the veto, although Ryan really wanted her to. It really doesn't matter who she chooses to play hoh and veto, because she is going to win them both anyways.

5. Tian and Ryan are the final nominations for the round. Why do you feel they were nominated and if you were the HOH who would YOU have placed on the block?

I think Tian was nominated for the same reason Melisa was, she is not very social. There was also some talk that she may be an alias. Besides that she has a filthy mouth yuck, any guy wanting to use that better wear a condom lol. Ryan, well Im not really sure why he was nominated, maybe as a pawn? not really sure. Besides trhat I heard people say they are both weak players, so maybe thats why. I dont know I like Ryan sweet kid, but there are alot of people that have different opinions on people. If I was HOH I most likely would have Put Tian and Mack.

6. Any other comments you'd like to put, please say them here.

Yeah this game is getting so intense right now. People are scrounging everwhere for anything, including me lol. I think there are going to be alot of drama and chaos, when it gets to the big players gettng nominated, its gonna get HELLA nasty in here. We gonna need to AC turned Wayyyyyyyy up !!!


PROS:
TIAN: Well um she um, um um she is a female and um um she has alot of ambition.
RYAN: Good kid, he really wants to prove himself.
CONS:
TIAN: FOUL DIRTY MOUTH, hardly ever on and when she is, she makes no sense at all what so ever.

RYAN: A little naive, I do not have a good sense with him yet.

I vote to evict: TIAN

BEN

1. Melisa was the first person evicted from the game. What do you think caused her to get voted out and were you surprised by this?

She was boring as paint drying, like I emphasized multiple times last week? I was as surprised by this as Tian was surprised at finding out she had herpes.

2. Who do you think this rounds HOH is? How are you coping with the secrecy of the HOH and how do you feel you will use it if you win one?

I could care less. I don't care who the HOH is. As long as I'm not nominated, I won't care. I don't like secret HOHs when I'm not the HOH being secret. When that time does come, I'll be an illogical idiot with it, probably.

3. What are your feelings alliance wise? Have you created any new ones since the first round and how do you feel these will play into your long term strategy?

The veterans are working together, apparently? Cool. More people on my side. I'm not doing anything strategical and I don't think I will for awhile.

4. Angela won the PoV and chose not to use it. What are your thoughts on her winning the ability to choose who plays for each the HOH and Reward challenge and which would you rather play in?

Well, obviously she's going to put mostly veterans in HOH. We want to have control of the nominees, so that's the besy way to do it. I'd want to be in the veto competition, just so my ass isn't on the line with a Battle.

5. Tian and Ryan are the final nominations for the round. Why do you feel they were nominated and if you were the HOH who would YOU have placed on the block?

They're threats that are rookies. I thought that was a clear message. If I was HOH, I'd probably put up Tian and Perry. Two rooks that I don't have a strong report/liking for.

6. Any other comments you'd like to put, please say them here.


-- To everyone voting:

Please list pros and cons of keeping or evicting each of the nominees, and then please say who you vote to evict from Big Brother Secrecy 8. You are voting for ONE person..

Pros:

Ryan: He's a likable guy?
Tian: Everyone hates her. Will not leave over her.

Cons:

Ryan: Seems like he can hold his own strategically and competitively.
Tian: Is a bitch at strategy.

I vote to evict RYAN.
It's secrecy. I don't have alliances. Best thing to do is fuck with people's heads (:

BILL

1. Melisa was the first person evicted from the game. What do you think caused her to get voted out and were you surprised by this?

Melisa was the epitome of an easy first boot. She was not interesting, she didn't not seem into the game, and didn't seem to offer any sort of strategical or competitive benefit. There was no other vote that could be made from my perspective.

2. Who do you think this rounds HOH is? How are you coping with the secrecy of the HOH and how do you feel you will use it if you win one?

Again I don't like trying to speculate who the HoH is. It obviously isn't a rookie. It's not me. I know those two things. Out of the 10 other candidates I think Juice, JD, and Nate are my top suspects.

3. What are your feelings alliance wise? Have you created any new ones since the first round and how do you feel these will play into your long term strategy?

I've been developing several good individual friendships/alliances/implied teamwork. I am not part of any big alliance other than the misfits agreeing to looking out for each other. On the rookies I have an alliance with Brentin and a friendship with Brian. I'm much closer to the veteran misfits than Justin G. On the vet team I have two quiet relationships with Allan and Nate. Allan is a voyeur alum like myself (and seems to be a bit obsessed with me and he watched me win my season) while Nate I knew pre-game.

4. Angela won the PoV and chose not to use it. What are your thoughts on her winning the ability to choose who plays for each the HOH and Reward challenge and which would you rather play in?

I asked Angela after the competition to let me play for HoH next week. Because I cannot be put up as a replacement nominee, original nominations are critical to me. Therefore I want to either get HoH or try to in whatever way control who does.

5. Tian and Ryan are the final nominations for the round. Why do you feel they were nominated and if you were the HOH who would YOU have placed on the block?

When I saw the nominations, I expected that Tian was a pawn and that the target was Ryan. However, in talking to the rest of the cast everyone is saying Tian is the slam-dunk for elimination. It's possible that the HoH nominated these two players because they haven't been online as much, and they wanted to target a rookie. I'm not sure who the HoH wanted to go home. Apparently my views about the game are different than the majority of the house. If I were HoH I would have put up Perry and Danny in an attempt to get Perry out of the house.

6. Any other comments you'd like to put, please say them here.

I feel like the HoH's are staying really well hidden. I don't know if that's common or not in this game, but there's yet to be an official 'leak' on any of the three HoH's so far.

Vote:

Ryan vs. Tian


Ok time to figure out who my vote will be for. Ryan definitely wants to be in the game. He was conscientious enough to come to me to ask for my support.

Tian is a sweetheart. I had a lot of fun talking to her this last week. She is funny and interesting. She asked for my help in the HoH, meaning to some degree she trusts me. I also do not see Tian as a huge threat... she posted last week's diary room in public for god's sake. If she won HoH I do not think she would nominate me.

However,

Ryan doesn't give me a lot of positive vibes. I've just been wary of him from the start. I don't have any proof of him being against me, but I just feel like he'll never be on my side. I really am counting on a majority of rookies having my back the next few weeks, and I just don't know Ryan could be counted on.

Tian doesn't seem to take the game very seriously. Her asking for help in the HoH shows she has a desire to win, which could be underestimated. Many people in the house seem to want her out, so keeping her may be going against house wishes.

In the end, I vote to evict Ryan

BRENTIN

1. Melisa was the first person evicted from the game. What do you think caused her to get voted out and were you surprised by this?
I think she was a Rookie and that for one lead to her being evicted. I also think she was boring, she was just hard to talk to and no one wanted to keep someone like that into the game. She didn't really show much effort and it wasn't surprising to see her leave.

2. Who do you think this rounds HOH is? How are you coping with the secrecy of the HOH and how do you feel you will use it if you win one?
I really have NO Idea! Like None! Some people have said maybe Juice got it, which wouldn't be a far stretch, but I really have no clue.

The HOH always being secret has been hard, a lot harder than I thought. I can sometimes be a control freak, and I usually like to always know whats going on, so not knowing what is going to happen has been a challenge. I continually freak myself out over worrying that I'm going to go up, when in reality, I haven't been nominated yet. I would like to keep it that way too.

If I ever win HOH (which won't be this week because of Angela's DUMB picks!) I will keep it all to myself so everyone can suffer just as much as I did and I will fucking nominate the ass off two vets! Like seriously, they won't have asses after my nomination ceremony is done.

3. What are your feelings alliance wise? Have you created any new ones since the first round and how do you feel these will play into your long term strategy?
I have a few, well actually really only two that I consider. I have one with Brian and then one with Bill. Although, I think I trust Brian more than Bill. I like both of them so I wouldn't mind working with them in the future, I feel like I really could go to the end with them; however, with 17 peeps still left, I aint even thinkin about no future!

4. Angela won the PoV and chose not to use it. What are your thoughts on her winning the ability to choose who plays for each the HOH and Reward challenge and which would you rather play in?
At first I was excited and then I found out shes a fucking bitch and is really only looking out for herself. I would really like to know why I always come so close to winning these rewards and then I become the most screwed over by them. I would rather being playing for HOH! But noooo thats not the case. The dumb boring alliance gets that privilege.

5. Tian and Ryan are the final nominations for the round. Why do you feel they were nominated and if you were the HOH who would YOU have placed on the block?
I feel like Tian and Ryan were nominated because they hardly talk. They, other than maybe Danny, are the two that I talk to the least, so seeing them up there was no surprise. If I would have won HOH I would have probably nominated different people than who I would nominate now. If I had HOH now I would probably nominate Juice forsure and maybe Nate.

6. Any other comments you'd like to put, please say them here.

I would just like to secretly say that the Vets suck, and they can kiss my ass! What what! *middle finger*

The pros for keeping Tian is that I like Tian more. I think she would be open to working with me more than Ryan. I think that she would be better to my game in the end than Ryan would be.

The pros for keeping Ryan is that he's not as crazy as Tian is. He's not random or sketchy and he's actually quite pleasant to talk to. I like him too. Ohh, and he didn't call me annoying.
----------------------------------------------------

The cons for keeping Tian is that she's fucked. Like thats pretty much it. She's really random, doesn't know how to play the game, she called me annoying, and she's really flip floppy.

The cons for keeping Ryan is that I suspect he is so far wedged up Perry's ass you can't even see him. I think he could be aligned with some of the Vets and all around he's a bigger threat than Tian. I would way rather see Ryan leave than Tian at this point.

I vote to evict......Tian.

BRIAN

1. Melisa was the first person evicted from the game. What do you think caused her to get voted out and were you surprised by this?

Inactivity and general awkwardness got Melisa evicted. I wasn't happy about it, per say, but I voted to evict her and I was glad the vote went my way.

2. Who do you think this round's HOH is? How are you coping with the secrecy of the HOH and how do you feel you will use it if you win one?

Well, it's not Brentin, Danny, Perry, Ryan, Tian, or myself - that much is certain. I also doubt that it was Bill or Justin G. I'm reasonably sure it wasn't Mack, as well. I don't think he would nominate Tian. Other than that, it doesn't really matter to me. I didn't get nominated. But, since you asked, I'll take a guess. Out of the remaining vets, I don't think it was Benny, JD, or Angela. I feel like they all have bigger targets to take out. That leaves Allan, Mikey, Nate, and Queef. From those, I figure Mikey to be least likely to make a Shambo joke in his nomination reasoning. Allan, Nate, Queef. I'll rule out Nate, just from a feeling. My final answer is that Allan or Queef is HoH, and from those, I'm leaning towards Allan. *Shrug*

3. What are your feelings alliance wise? Have you created any new ones since the first round and how do you feel these will play into your long term strategy?

As a matter of fact, I have created a new one since the first round. I made my bond with Brentin official a couple of nights ago, which is good. I like him.

4. Angela won the PoV and chose not to use it. What are your thoughts on her winning the ability to choose who plays for each the HOH and Reward challenge and which would you rather play in?

Oh god, I think it's the best thing in the world that the old woman won the Bingo competition. I mean, seriously. That couldn't have been any more classic than it was. Loved it. And, I told her I didn't care which competition I was in, which hopefully means she gives me the PoV one rather than HoH. I'm not interested in being HoH, and if people know for sure that I'm not, I'm seen as more trustworthy. I have nothing to hide if I'm positively not HoH, which is the reason I'm sorta glad a Rookie was put up. Eliminates me from the list of possible suspects.

5. Tian and Ryan are the final nominations for the round. Why do you feel they were nominated and if you were the HOH who would YOU have placed on the block?

Well, it seems to me that Tian was nominated for being Tian, and Ryan was nominated simply because he's a Rookie that the HoH probably talked to the least. Two Rookies were put up to keep the possibilities of HoH's to a wider spectrum of both Misfits and Veterans, rather than just 1.

If I was HoH, I probably would've put up JD and Allan, with JD hopefully being sent home.

6. Any other comments you'd like to put, please say them here.

Life's like an hourglass glued to the table.

The nominees this week are Ryan (R) and Tian (R)

Positive things:

Ryan: Ryan is hilarious. Love him. He's easy to talk to and he trusts me.

Tian: Tian is batshit crazy and I love her, too. She's a wildcard and someone people will target before they target me.


Negative things:

Ryan: The Veterans want Tian out, and I'm not a fan of the Veterans. That's a reason to evict Ryan.

Tian: She's wild, unpredictable, and not as active as Ryan (or at least I see Ryan on more often).

I vote to evict Ryan.
You're not going. I just want to be able to say "I told you so!" when this turns out to be a mistake.

And if you do go, lolz. My bad.

CLAYTON

1. Melisa was the first person evicted from the game. What do you think caused her to get voted out and were you surprised by this?

I think her inactivity and inability to carry on a conversation cost her the game. I was not surprised at all. I was thrilled actually as -- I was nominated against her. I'm glad she went.


2. Who do you think this rounds HOH is? How are you coping with the secrecy of the HOH and how do you feel you will use it if you win one?

I have no idea -- I do think it is either JD or JUICE that won the HoH. I'm not sure though. I'm doing okay -- it sucks not knowing who HoH is, but thats the whole point of this game. ha.. If I ever win HoH -- I will not tell ANYONE, including my alliance partners. No body will know that I am HOH. I'll just hope nobody exposes me when they choose for the battle. lol

if I win HoH, I'm not sure who I will nominate, but I think it'll probably include BEN or BRIAN! LoL They're starting to really irritate me!

3. What are your feelings alliance wise? Have you created any new ones since the first round and how do you feel these will play into your long term strategy?

I got a pretty solid alliance going on with Mike, Danny, and Perry. We've decided to call ourselves
the Loompa alliance
(Oompa Loompas) and we're gonna go to the end I hope. I also have a few people on the side (JD, Allan, and Angela). We'll see how it works out hehe


4. Angela won the PoV and chose not to use it. What are your thoughts on her winning the ability to choose who plays for each the HOH and Reward challenge and which would you rather play in?

I was sort of hopin she would use it on Ryan, becuase I sort of like the kid and think I can control his vote -- but it seems like the vote will be goign to Tian so. I'm okay with it. I havent talked too much with Tian so -- I'm not complaining.

As for her deciding who plays HOH/POV. I'm glad she won it so I can influence how she decides the groups. I would rather play in the HoH as I might not be able to make the POV as I'll be on a holiday trip to Indianapolis. I asked her to put me in the HoH and she said she would! yayness lol.

5. Tian and Ryan are the final nominations for the round. Why do you feel they were nominated and if you were the HOH who would YOU have placed on the block?

I have no idea. Maybe they did not have a connection with the HoH? Some people have said that Tian is an alias! I dont know if she is, but we'll see how it works out!

If I was HoH. I would have probably put BEN and BRIAN on the block. They both are irritating me -- however that would make it obvious that a Misfit is HOH so I would probably actually put up BRIAN and JUSTIN G. No connection with them both and I dont see them benefitting in the long run. If I want Ben up more then I'll probably put up BEN and JUSTIN T. *shrugs*


6. Any other comments you'd like to put, please say them here.

LOVING THE GAME! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!


-- To everyone voting:

Please list pros and cons of keeping or evicting each of the nominees, and then please say who you vote to evict from Big Brother Secrecy 8. You are voting for ONE person..

TIAN:

PROS:
She seems to like me and dont think she'll nominate/vote for me for a while.

CONS:
Tian is said to be an alias by everybody and people think something' sup with her. I'm not in an alliance and I dont think I will be able to manipulate her vote if she stays.

RYAN:

PROS: I will be able to persuade and sort of control his vote -- so him staying will benefit me as I have more of an connection with him.

CONS: I can see him attempting to grow a brain and developing a counter-alliance -- but thats not exactly a concern right now with 17 people remianing.. Hmm


I VOTE TO EVICT TIAN.

DANNY

1. Melisa was the first person evicted from the game. What do you think caused her to get voted out and were you surprised by this?
I wasn't surprised at all by this; Melisa did not know how to effectively communicate with others, and so she was bounced from the game I'm glad that she left.


2. Who do you think this rounds HOH is? How are you coping with the secrecy of the HOH and how do you feel you will use it if you win one?
JD is the HoH I'm really happy about this secrecy twist. House paranoia is at an all-time high as nobody besides myself, Nate, and JD know who the first two rounds' HoHs have been. I love it. If I win the next HoH (which I can't since I can't compete, ugh), I would definitely keep it secret to all besides Nate/JD.


3. What are your feelings alliance wise? Have you created any new ones since the first round and how do you feel these will play into your long term strategy?
Alliance #1: Danny, Nate, JD --> I plan to stick with this alliance until the end-game. I will be most loyal to JD and Nate.
Alliance #2/3: Danny, Perry, JD, and JT ::: Danny, Perry, Mikey, Clayton. These are my secondary alliances.

I feel like I am aligned with enough people without overtly over-extending, and I am on good terms with Ben, Justin G, and Ryan.


4. Angela won the PoV and chose not to use it. What are your thoughts on her winning the ability to choose who plays for each the HOH and Reward challenge and which would you rather play in?
I'd much rather compete in the HoH competition, and I'm sad that I'm not playing in it haha. Although, as long as I remain close with Clayton, I should be safe. He has a lot of political power in this game, and could influence those who I am not so close with, like Angela. I'm thankful for this, although the amount of political influence that he currently has could come back to hurt him later in the game.


5. Tian and Ryan are the final nominations for the round. Why do you feel they were nominated and if you were the HOH who would YOU have placed on the block?
I'm really actually not sure who I would have placed on the block, but I love that these two are nominated. JD nominated two from one team so that there would be more suspects for HoH, which I think is a very smart decision. I would really like for Tian to go home this round.


6. Any other comments you'd like to put, please say them here.

-- To everyone voting:

Tian seems very sweet, yet with that she is also very conniving and comes across as rather fake. If she stays, and knows that I saved her, however, then I would likely have a solid ally in her.

Ryan is sweet, and he's definitely trying NOT to come across too strongly, which I think is a smart decision to make. If he stayed, I'm sure that I could potentially align with him in the future, however I have not made a concrete deal with him yet. That worries me...

I vote to evict Tian.

JUSTIN G

1. Melisa was the first person evicted from the game. What do you think caused her to get voted out and were you surprised by this?

Not at all. Everyone said she was going. I think Perry's determination to get her out was kind of the catalyst to her demise, but really her terrible social game is what really brought her down.

2. Who do you think this rounds HOH is? How are you coping with the secrecy of the HOH and how do you feel you will use it if you win one?

I don't give a shit whose this round's HoH is because I'm not nominated. I'm pretty sure it's a vet, probably from the vets team. The great part about being in the misfits group is that vets will nominate rookies and rookies will nominate vets. However, they dont want to nominate a rookie from one side and a rookie from the other because it will dwindle the HoH possibility down to 5 or 6. So each HoH will probably nominate 2 from one group.

I don't like the secrecy of the HoH to be honest, but it's what I signed up for. When I get HoH I'm going balls to the fucking walls. I'm not telling a single person that I'm it.

3. What are your feelings alliance wise? Have you created any new ones since the first round and how do you feel these will play into your long term strategy?

Um basically my only true alliance at this point lies with Brian. I should probably start creating new ones but at such an early stage in the game its hard to get an effective alliance of just like 4 people.

4. Angela won the PoV and chose not to use it. What are your thoughts on her winning the ability to choose who plays for each the HOH and Reward challenge and which would you rather play in?

The game was entirely luck so it gives me no hint of an idea that Angela is a strong competitor. I'm not saying she's not, but this competition does not help her. I think that having the burden to decide who plays what is a gift and a curse. You can put 8 people in the HoH competition that you know won't nominate you, but some of those 8 might just want to play in reward.

5. Tian and Ryan are the final nominations for the round. Why do you feel they were nominated and if you were the HOH who would YOU have placed on the block?

Tian was nominated because she's an outlandish retard and Ryan was nominated as a pawn. He's not too sociable, but he's likable and will probably stay.

6. Any other comments you'd like to put, please say them here.

Lata.

-- To everyone voting:

Please list pros and cons of keeping or evicting each of the nominees, and then please say who you vote to evict from Big Brother Secrecy 8. You are voting for ONE person..

A good reason to keep Ryan in this game is that he seems like he has a good head on his shoulders and could prove to be a great ally in the future.

A good reason to boot Ryan is that he has a good head on his shoulders and could possibly be a strong enemy in the future.

A good reason to keep Tian is that she's crazy, attention-seeking, and people will target her until kingdom come.

A good reason to boot Tian is that we made an alliance and she would most likely throw me under the bus to save herself. I also think there's a possibility of a Brian/Tian alliance and I want to cut that shit off.

I vote to evict Tian.

JUSTIN T

1. Melisa was the first person evicted from the game. What do you think caused her to get voted out and were you surprised by this?

She had ZERO personality. She never wanted to have a fluid conversation with anyone. She even admitted to several people that she didnt want to be in the game. LOL FAIL!

2. Who do you think this rounds HOH is? How are you coping with the secrecy of the HOH and how do you feel you will use it if you win one?

I have no idea who the HoH is this round. It could be Mikey. He is my likely suspect as of now. I'm coping just fine with the secrecy! Its nothing new for me.
I'd use it the smartest way I knew how! Make it seem like it was someone else. lol Also, the reasons the HoH's have been giving so far have been totally BORING. I'd definitely change that up.

3. What are your feelings alliance wise? Have you created any new ones since the first round and how do you feel these will play into your long term strategy?

Yikes. Im probably doing too much this early in the game, but its good to establish things with people early on. So far, I have Allan. The straight guy alliance with Me, JD, Perry and Danny. I dont know how well this one is going to work out, honestly. There is also the newly formed alliance between myself, Angela, Justin G, and Ryan called the Rugrats! lol I feel there is a lot more potential for this alliance than the other. Ryan has to survive first. But as you know, Joe, I am always open to more deals with people!

4. Angela won the PoV and chose not to use it. What are your thoughts on her winning the ability to choose who plays for each the HOH and Reward challenge and which would you rather play in?

I'm totally fine with her winning it. Especially since shes a vet and Im now in an alliance with her. She picked almost all vets! and the rookies she picked, Im working with! lol So Im totally happy about it.

5. Tian and Ryan are the final nominations for the round. Why do you feel they were nominated and if you were the HOH who would YOU have placed on the block?

Tian because she is annoying and she rubs people the wrong way. Plus, its possible that the rumor of her actually being a dude might've come into play, but I doubt that. She is just not trustworthy, in my opinion.
Ryan because maybe people think he's inactive? I have no clue really. If I was HoH, I wouldve put up Mack and Bill, which is what I'd like to do if I win. Its smart because theyre safe from the Battle and they've already proven that they can win a comp with so many people still in the game.

6. Any other comments you'd like to put, please say them here.

Still too many people, Joe!!! AHHHHHHH

-- To everyone voting:

Please list pros and cons of keeping or evicting each of the nominees, and then please say who you vote to evict from Big Brother Secrecy 8. You are voting for ONE person..


Pros to voting out the nominees:

Ryan - He maybe someone who could be dangerous later on.

Tian - I cant trust this girl, no matter how much she says she's not after me. Plus, she is just too much in this game, especially with all the gays. She is the epitome of fag hag.

Cons to voting out the nominees:

Ryan - I'm in an alliance with him!!

Tian - Keeps a target in the game, but there are no cons right now. She needs to go.

I VOTE TO EVICT....

TIAN.

She is just wayy too annoying and I can't stand her. I tried to like her, but I cant. I know she is just weird and thats cool, but in this game, she isn't someone I could fully trust and keeping her would screw me later, so she has to go now.

MACK

1. Melisa was the first person evicted from the game. What do you think caused her to get voted out and were you surprised by this?
Let's be honest: Melisa, although her profile picture SCREAMS "I'm an emo fat chick obsessed with twilight... I'm gazing at this camera as though it was Edward Cullen <3 <3 <3" she has the personality of a dead rock. Sorry Melisa, I love you as much as I love the next waste of space, but you just aren't made for the game of secrecy.

If you couldn't tell - no, I wasn't surprised.

2. Who do you think this rounds HOH is? How are you coping with the secrecy of the HOH and how do you feel you will use it if you win one?
Honestly, I have no effing clue who this HoH is... They made safe nominations, so there really is no reason to care who the HoH is as far as I'm concerned.

HoH being a secret isn't really bothering me this much as it did last season. What can I say, I've adapted ot this game of Big Brother, Joe <3... If I won HoH (heaven forbid - I'd be quite the trainwreck), I would DEFINITELY use the secrecy aspect to my advantage.

3. What are your feelings alliance wise? Have you created any new ones since the first round and how do you feel these will play into your long term strategy?
I don't think alliances are necessary for me to survive at this point. This game has enough people that are barely active, so I should be able to slip by in the coming weeks. I have created an alliance since the first round - with Tian... but it doesn't do me much good considering she is doomed =[

4. Angela won the PoV and chose not to use it. What are your thoughts on her winning the ability to choose who plays for each the HOH and Reward challenge and which would you rather play in?
Her reward is friggin awesome, and she used it the right way - she put all of the veterans in the HoH group, increasing her chances at immunity. It was a smart move, and it made perfect sense as far as I'm concerned. I'd rather play in the RC though. If I get nominated, I want a chance to save myself.

5. Tian and Ryan are the final nominations for the round. Why do you feel they were nominated and if you were the HOH who would YOU have placed on the block?
I think that they were nominated because the HoH wanted to try and weed out the lesser active people, and that meant those two went up. I feel like Danny should've gone up instead, but that's just my own opinion.

Had I been HoH, Nate and JD would've gone up. I don't have ANY read on them and the vets are threatening enough as it is, so it would be no skin off of my back to see them go home.

6. Any other comments you'd like to put, please say them here.
I am scared shitless that I'm going up & out next week. . . My ideal F3 (Melisa, Tian & I) are being SLAUGHTERED

Please list pros and cons of keeping or evicting each of the nominees, and then please say who you vote to evict from Big Brother Secrecy 8. You are voting for ONE person..

Ryan
Pros:
Ryan is such a sweetheart. He really has good intentions, and he is just an all around great guy.

Cons:
He really could up his online time, but I guess we all can't live on the computer like myself. His biggest con is that he is nominated against Tian =/

Tian
Pros:
Tian basically makes this game worth playing. She is a fucking hilarious goddess, and I aspire to be her. Plus, we have an alliance.

Cons:
OUR ALLIANCE MEANS NOTHING BECAUSE SHE HAS LIKE TEN OTHER ONES >:O. I'm sorry, but I can't deal with double dipping hookers.

I VOTE TO EVICT TIAN.

NATE

1. Melisa was the first person evicted from the game. What do you think caused her to get voted out and were you surprised by this?

She hadn't made many connections and, once she found out she was nominated, didn't seem to do much to save herself. I think some vets came into the game hoping to go for blood, but I think everyone was really happy in the end to have a safe first week and just boot an easy target. I wasn't surprised by her boot; rather, I was surprised by how easily she went.

2. Who do you think this rounds HOH is? How are you coping with the secrecy of the HOH and how do you feel you will use it if you win one?

JD is HOH. Yay! Well, I've known who all the HOHs have been so far, so I'm not having to cope with the secrecy aspect quite yet. If I won again, I'd just put up two useless people and be happy if either one went.

3. What are your feelings alliance wise? Have you created any new ones since the first round and how do you feel these will play into your long term strategy?

At this point, I pretty much have reciprocal, "I won't nom you if you don't nom me" agreements with everyone except for Benny and Justin G, though I'm friendly with them both. I've secured a stronger deal with Ryan in exchange for me voting out Tian this round. My larger alliances are with most of the people on my team - especially JD, Angela, and Justin T. I'm also really close with Perry and Danny (through DJ). I have a feeling (and a good hope) that the endgame will come down to these people.

4. Angela won the PoV and chose not to use it. What are your thoughts on her winning the ability to choose who plays for each the HOH and Reward challenge and which would you rather play in?

I'm so glad Angela won veto! That basically gives our team over a 50% shot for HOH next week! And, after seeing what the HOH competition is (winding letters), there's a good chance I could win it again...I remember being really good at that challenge during BBS6. I'm glad I'll get to play in the HOH competition and I think my chances of getting thrown into a battle are pretty low since I haven't made any enemies that I'm aware of.

5. Tian and Ryan are the final nominations for the round. Why do you feel they were nominated and if you were the HOH who would YOU have placed on the block?

I helped JD decide on these nominees. We wanted to see how some of the rookies would play, since we're unfamiliar with their gameplay, and we were least close to these two. I probably would have made the same decision as HOH.

6. Any other comments you'd like to put, please say them here.

Yay for BBS8!

-- To everyone voting:

Please list pros and cons of keeping or evicting each of the nominees, and then please say who you vote to evict from Big Brother Secrecy 8. You are voting for ONE person..

Ryan PRO: He agreed to pay back the favor if I vote to keep him this round. He seems like a nice enough guy.

Ryan CON: He's probably better suited to the social game than Tian, so by keeping him, he has a better shot of going a long way.

Tian PRO: She's a great distraction in the house and with all the rumors going around about how she's probably an alias, she'd make for a great shield for a while longer.

Tian CON: She's probably an alias. And she's hardly ever around and doesn't talk to me as much as Ryan does.

All that said, I vote to evict TIAN.

MIKEY

1. Melisa was the first person evicted from the game. What do you think caused her to get voted out and were you surprised by this?
I really wasn't surprised with the results of the eviction. I think it was decided fairly early on that she would be the one to go. I was happy that it wasn't me! In the end, I think she left because nobody could relate to her and at the beginning of a game, personality is the only weapon you have.


2. Who do you think this rounds HOH is? How are you coping with the secrecy of the HOH and how do you feel you will use it if you win one?
Again, I don't have a clue as to who the HoH is this round. I know that it wan't a rookie. I hate not knowing because there is nothing you can do about being proactive to save your own skin, but we all knew that coming in. If I were to win HoH, I would switch it up and go after people who I believed to be threats.

3. What are your feelings alliance wise? Have you created any new ones since the first round and how do you feel these will play into your long term strategy?
I formed an alliance with JD, although we don't talk game very often, so I don't know where that stands. I have also alligned with Clayton, Perry and Danny, but I'm not too sure where that is going to go either. I like Perry a lot, but I think that alligning with Clayton is way too obvious and I don't even know who Danny is, really, so I'm not putting stock into much of this. As long as people I'm "alligned" with can keep me off the block, it's all good.

4. Angela won the PoV and chose not to use it. What are your thoughts on her winning the ability to choose who plays for each the HOH and Reward challenge and which would you rather play in?
I was happy that Angela won POV because she believes that Clayton and I will take care of her out of our season two connections. Because of this, she has been rather easy to manipulate this far and will keep things in our favour. I'd love to play for HoH, but I'm not going to be around, so she'll throw me in with the Veto and that's cool with me.

5. Tian and Ryan are the final nominations for the round. Why do you feel they were nominated and if you were the HOH who would YOU have placed on the block?
Honestly, in this particular round, I probably would have done the same thing. Ryan seems to be a non-entity and Tian is as annoying as sin! Secrecy or not, you also don't want to risk rocking the boat this early, just in case.

Vote

Is it wrong that I can't think of any pros for keeping either of them?

I guess a pro for evicting Tian is that she is talkative, but a con of keeping her is that she sucks to talk to and if I leave her in, I'll have to do that...

A pro for evicting Ryan is that I'd be getting rid of someone that I don't know enough to think that he'd keep me safe, but a con for evicting Ryan is that I think he's not around enough and will be nominated again later. If we axe him now, there's no one to hide behind as an automatic safety.

I am casting my vote for TIAN. I just can't handle any more...

PERRY

1. Melisa was the first person evicted from the game. What do you think caused her to get voted out and were you surprised by this?

I was not surprised she left at all. She was easily the most boring player and didnt even really try to stay that badly it was a easy first out.

2. Who do you think this rounds HOH is? How are you coping with the secrecy of the HOH and how do you feel you will use it if you win one?

I want to say Allan was the HoH but im not completly sure. Mack felt very comfortable this week and what do ya know he got the first key. If I won HoH I probably wont keep it that big of a secret im aiming to earn peoples trust not hide it.

3. What are your feelings alliance wise? Have you created any new ones since the first round and how do you feel these will play into your long term strategy?

I feel very strong alliance wise at this point. Im with the Oompa Loompa alliance now and still with the J & C. These are both long term commitments on my part and I hope we can all make final 6

4. Angela won the PoV and chose not to use it. What are your thoughts on her winning the ability to choose who plays for each the HOH and Reward challenge and which would you rather play in?

Im very happy Angela won because I know she loves bingo. Plus I trust the choices that Angela makes in this game. I prefer to play in the HoH and asked her if I could play in it she said yes sooo we will see if thats what she goes through with.

5. Tian and Ryan are the final nominations for the round. Why do you feel they were nominated and if you were the HOH who would YOU have placed on the block?

Ryan is the male verision of Melisa basically. Tian hasnt been around that much honestly she is very overrated in this game I feel. If I was the HoH I would have nomd up Bill and Ben most likely.

6. Any other comments you'd like to put, please say them here.

I rock

My vote


Tian

Pro - She might run to me later on in the game for my help possibly

Con - I dont see me and her ever clicking. She already has deals with other people who I dont have deals with. Im the one that started up the giant rumor of her being an alias and being a man.

Ryan

Pro - He sucks and is on my team

Con - He sucks and is on my team

Sooo with that all said im going to sadly evict..........................................................Tian

Goodbye Messages


Tian I never felt like we clicked and I didnt feel comfortable around you honestly. Me and you had alot of potential to be friends but it just didnt work out. I felt like you had other deals also in this game that did not involve me. Between you and Ryan you were the better player and just had to go.

Ryan I never really spoke to you that much and I dont think others have spoken to you that much either hints why your probably out of the game.

RYAN

1. Melisa was the first person evicted from the game. What do you think caused her to get voted out and were you surprised by this?
You know. I think that the reasoning for Melisa’s eviction was that she was hardly online. I felt like she was only online a few minutes before challenges and a few minutes after, and then she left. But besides that, she also couldn’t hold up a conversation either. I mean, Melisa was there .. but it felt like she wasn’t. She just didn’t have good social ability and I think that’s what caused her booting. Was I surprised by this? No. I honestly wanted Mikey gone instead, but if Melisa was the majority, I was willing to go with her. It was a shame to see her go, but maybe she’ll try and be more actively social in other games she signs up for.

2. Who do you think this rounds HOH is? How are you coping with the secrecy of the HOH and how do you feel you will use it if you win one?
I think a Vet was the secret HoH this round for nominating two Rookies, being myself and Tian. As for who it specifically was? I haven’t the slightest idea. This whole secrecy thing is crazy hard and whoever wins the HoH keeps it a very good secret. I honestly can say that if I were to win HoH soon, I’d nom two Vets. Though, then it would be obvious that it was a Rookie. But whatever. You gotta’ play the game, and that’s exactly what I’d do. I really hope I can just stay in this game after this round and win one for myself and alliance!

3. What are your feelings alliance wise? Have you created any new ones since the first round and how do you feel these will play into your long term strategy?
My first alliance was made with Tian, whom I’m nominated with. Pretty crazy, right? I’m perfectly fine with that though, because I honestly didn’t trust her that much when it came to it anyways. Her way of asking for an alliance was really random and I feel like it was just her way of using me. Other than that, a new alliance was made last night between myself, Justin G., Justin T., and Angela. It’s pretty much a Rookie cross Veteran alliance, and I think it’ll be really successful. I hope that this alliance also keeps me in the game tonight and I can go on and continue to be apart of this “Rugrats” alliance and the game.

4. Angela won the PoV and chose not to use it. What are your thoughts on her winning the ability to choose who plays for each the HOH and Reward challenge and which would you rather play in?
I love Angela! I remember going to her immediately and basically begging for her to make a battle between myself and someone. Though, then it hit me that it would put her in a tough spot and I didn’t want to do that. So, she ended up not using it and there were no hard feelings whatsoever. I think her ability to choose who plays in what was a big decision on her part. Though, I heard a lot of people made requests to her, and she seemed to listen to everyone so that probably put her in the good graces of a lot of people. I was placed in the HoH group, and I wasn’t too excited at first, but now that myself and two other people of our “Rugrats” alliance are playing, I feel like I have a better chance of staying this next round, if I survive tonight’s eviction. It should be really interesting.

5. Tian and Ryan are the final nominations for the round. Why do you feel they were nominated and if you were the HOH who would YOU have placed on the block?
Well. At first I heard that Tian was nominated because people had thought she was an alias. This drove me to believe that maybe I was put up for the same reason? I mean, I don’t want to toot my own horn or anything like that, but I feel that if you’re attractive and play an ORG .. people will assume you’re an alias. As much as a gift as it is, it’s really a downfall in these games. And please, please don’t take this as me being egotistical or anything .. this is just how I perceive it if I were someone else. Other than that, it could be numerous reasons, but I really don’t know what they are. If I was secret HoH, I would want to put up either Mikey, Bill, or Mack for personal reasons; I just don’t like them much and want them gone.

6. Any other comments you'd like to put, please say them here.
No other comments, except pray for me to survive this crazy ass eviction!

WHY I FEEL I WAS NOMINATED AND PUT ON THE BLOCK -

As I stated in one of my diary answers, I feel like I could’ve been nominated for numerous reasons. One being, that I didn’t appeal to the secret HoH’s liking. I know for a fact that I talk to each and every houseguest, and I always try to be the most bubbly and outgoing person I can. The only person that I never talk to is Mikey, and that’s because he’s never on when I am, and he’s freaking boring and a half. The other reason is the whole idea of alias’. If it was going around that Tian was nominated for being suspected as an alias, did that also put me in the same category? Who knows! And lastly, it could’ve been a Vet trying to diminish some of the Rookie’s, which is probably the best bet. Screw the Vets - jerks!

As for why I should stay in this game? I think I’m much, much more active than Tian is. I’m always online way before challenges and I think I show dedication to Secrecy. Tian, on the other hand, is hardly ever on and barely sticks around when she is. I just really think that if everyone in the game wants someone loyal, outgoing, and active player, they’ll vote to evict Tian and keep me around. I mean, I love everyone in this game that I’ve met and talked to so far, except a small number who have already been named, and I want to stay in this thing and continue playing with them. I just really hope Tian goes tonight, and if not, I swear I will apply for this game again and prove everyone that I can make it far in this game.
