EPISODE ONE
The Battle Begins

Big Brother Secrecy is back and this time the doors are opening once again to both new and veteran players. Nine veterans returned to the game to Battle again nine new comers in a game that would test friendships, create enemies and ultimately crown the eighth Secrecy winner. With two set groups coming into the game lines were drawn early, however these lines will soon shift as the houseguests learn that a third group will be formed, creating a battle for the ORG ages. As the players entered both groups were sent to two identical entrances. Neither knew of the other group and some were still not sure if they were the only ones entering the house...

THE ROOKIES

BILL
 
A 21 year old college student from Michigan

BRENTIN
 
A 20 year old pre-law student from Nova Scotia, Canada

BRIAN
 
A 17 year old student and desk clerk from Virginia

DANNY
 
A 21 year old student and audit intern from Massachusetts

JUSTIN G
 
An 18 year old student from Georgia

MELISA
 
An 18 year old student from Michigan

PERRY
 
A 22 year old store manager from Colorado

RYAN
 
A 19 year old java barista and student from Washington, D.C.

TIAN
 
An 18 year old Best Buy employee and student from New York City

Entering their side of the house, the Rookies saw nobody they recognized from previous seasons and immediately bonded over their "new blood" status...

Bill: So r we all 'Rookies'?
Tian: I figured that this cast is Rookies vs the nasty veterans :P
Perry: Man I haven't been called a rookie in forever!
Danny: Feels like a RR/RW challenge
Brian: First BB gameee!
Brentin: Yeah, no one has played BBS before right??
Tian: Plz and I mean plz let us not be rookies in MTV RW/RR challenges?
Melisa: There are no vets in here?
Brian: Zomg. Ohhh knew it!
Tian: I'm about to hack :-)
Perry: That's cause the vets are scared bitches
Melisa: Oh
Bill: They won't know what hit em when we break on the scene, Rookies are gonna pwn.

BRENTIN

'm Here! Look! I Made It! I'm Here I'm Here!
I'm So EXCITED! I totally didn't think I was getting picked and I'm HERE! YAY!

So this is like Awesome and Amazing! SOO EXCITING!

OMG I have so much stuff running through my head right now, I don't even know where to begin!

Okay, phew, breath.

So Big Brother Secrecy 8 officially started! YAY! And I'm a houseguest la la la la la la!

I'm Brentin btw, holla! 20, from Canada, University Student. 

Okay so, okay. 
The game started like Rookies in one room and Veterans, yes Veterans (We're totally playing with Big Brother Secrecy Alumni! Best Season Ever!) in the other. So we were all like "OMG What is going on???" And then Almighty Joe comes in (OMG sooo surreal seeing him in like his Host form, he's got mad skillz) and says we will be playing for the first HOH right now! 

Such a shocker, totally did not see it coming. So like right off the bat I was blown away! 

Danny and Melisa started to chat and realized how scary secrets could be...

Melisa: I wanna say hi to all my teammates!
Danny: You're name is Melisa right? I like the one S by the way
Melisa: Yes it is, thanks!
Danny: Are you in high school or college?
Melisa: Early start of high school.
Danny: You're young!
Melisa: No, I've told this a lot. You go for five years, and leave with a diploma and associates degree.
Danny: Oh very cool, sorry. I never heard of that.
Melisa: Are you nervous about possible nominations?
Danny: Extremely, but it's only night one. I'll just by myself though, you know?
Melisa: Yeah that's what I'm doing. I hate that.
Danny: I hope that people see it, and not be fake.
Melisa: Yeah because whoever wins this HOH really has nothing two base it off of. He/she won't know who is strong or not.
Danny: Right, they'll have absolutely nothing.
Melisa: We really will never know that, that means a lie can go a long way in thisg ame.
Danny: Yeah... it's scary actually.

Brian had recognized Ryan from somewhere and they realized they had a strange connection...

Brian: OMG you just Facebooked me yesterday
Ryan: I know... how weird is that?
Brian: Creeper psychic bitch!
Ryan: Not even, Facebook suggestions was just like "ADD BRIAN N"
Brian: I totally missed those messages..... hello?
Ryan: Too many people, my head hurts now.
Brian: Agreed. Joe doesn't know WHAT he casted. But yeah, don't nominate me thanks! I know you're going to win.
Ryan: ROFL
Brian: Don't lie!
Ryan: Why me!? I'm so innocent and helpless, it's not even funny

RYAN

Yay! Okay, so BRIAN. He's probably one of my favorite's so far. I really like talking to him. It's crazy weird how he kinda' lives nearby to me too. Talk about strange! Other than that, he's really funny and I can't wait to maybe work with him along the way?

While the Rookies got to know each other and their new surroundings, the Veterans were entering the house once again and were ready to play the game of secrets...

Angela immediately ran up to Clayton as the two were close during their season and was so excited to see a familiar, friendly, face...

Angela: You do not know how happy i am you are here. You were the one person I wanted on here!
Clayton: Hahaha no Erin or Moniques this time, wheww. It's great to have you here!
Angela: Thanks the lord.
Clayton: Just hope the HOH doesn't put both of us up.
Angela: No crap, any idea who got it?
Clayton: Only one is getting evicted... that's not too bad.
Angela: Just not us, ok?
Clayton: Exactly, hope not.
Angela: Is Mikey good with us teaming up here?
Clayton: I haven't talked to him about that
Angela: I have to reread our season, I am so forgetful. It has been almost five years since I have done this. Did I tell you am I so friggin happy you are here!
Clayton: Yes.. same here!

ANGELA

Ok so first off I was surprised my this I'm with a big ANGELA!! Its me Clayton, its you me and Mikey. ( I didnt get the first part of the chat for some reason) I was like OMG CLAYTON!!!!!!!! Yeahhhhhhh I told him i was so happy he was here. I could not believe he wanted to start an alliance already with me him and Mikey right off the bat. 

I am not too sure about Mikey yet, he was very quiet and reserved didn't talk much at all. But tomorrow is another day. I am so happy Clayton is on here with me, I really liked him before and now as well.

CLAYTON

Several characters have started to arise, and others are not out yet. Angela, as usual, is quite an character. I'm glad to see her in the game. She was really thrilled to see me in the game as well. I'm not sure, however, if I will be teaming up with her this time. She seems to expect that her, me and Mikey will team up. I might be up for that -- but probably not the best ideas to fall into same alliances.

Mikey knew only Clayton and JD from All Stars and went to JD immediately to rekindle the friendship and offer his allegiance to fill a "gap" that JD lost...

Mikey: Hey JD I'm so glad to see you here!
JD: Hey!! I know, I only recognize you and Clayton, I can't even believe Joe suckered me into applying again.
Mikey: The rest are post-All Stars.
JD: AD was basically the last game I did, how have things been since then? It's been a long, long time.
Mikey: It was my last game as well, almost. Thing have been good, how about you?
JD: I'm STILL in school, I still need a diploma!
Mikey: Interesting group it seems.
JD: I feel older than most.
Mikey: We probably are. It seems like most have moved on from AS now though, we're just suckers.
JD: Have you kept in contact with Clayton?
Mikey: I haven't spoken to him at all, we seem to reconnect through secrecy. I'm not sure if I'm going to love having Mack around though.
JD: Didn't he go early in S7? I'm not going to like most/all my knowledge about seasons after AS come from Joe's YouTube recaps.
Mikey: I think he was around for a bit, I watched them all too plus I did help cast. So I'm going to be tacky right now, you ready?
JD: Yes, I love tackiness.
Mikey: I was hoping we could work together, right off the bat. I'm no Til, but I was hoping that you'd be playing because I'd love the opportunity to continue where we left off in AS.
JD: I'm totally down for working together also, I feel like I owed you big time for keeping my ass at the end of AS, you know I would have done the same for you.
Mikey: I believe it!
JD: I'm assuming you've run this by Clay?
Mikey: I haven't run anything by Clay at all. In fact, figured that it might be too obvious if I did.

MIKEY

Here's hoping that JD and I can really start where we left off and make a dent in the game. He's still the Golden Boy, but I actually like him. Imagine that!

Ben and Clayton starting chatting and learned they have something, well half of something, in common...

Ben: So what you majoring in?
Clayton: Deaf Ed
Ben: That's really awesome! I'm doing secondary ed.
Clayton: Sweet, me too. Deaf ed and secondary ed. Enlgish for me, what subject?
Ben: History, minor in Spanish.
Clayton: Oh nice, how long you been with the boyfriend?
Ben: Five and a half months now.
Clayton: Cute.
Ben: So you go to RIT? Wow that's a good school, now.... are you deaf?
Clayton: Haha yes, I am.
Ben: I'm deaf in one ear, we're half bretheren!
Clayton: Sweet! Do you know ASL or no?
Ben: No I don't, I could have taken a class in it but I knew I wanted to minor in Spanish so I took intro Spanish classes instead. ASL counted as a foreign language at my high school, believe it or not.
Clayton: Ooo aw! Could of learned ASL and worked with me somewhere! Yeah it does at many schools now.
Ben: Why do I feel like it would be much easier to teach English in ASL than history.
Clayton: Haha nah, History. ASL is a diff language than English and you're explaining a language using another language.
Ben: That's true, granted I learn English easier than History but it comes down to learning styles.

Angela was also happy to see Mikey and Clayton back in the game and assumed the three from BBS2 would align right away...

Angela: So do you think me, you and Clayton can get far together? Being we were all 3 in the same season?
Mikey: I think that we could make it work, but we are definitely out in the open with three of us, just because only season 7 has as many as we do
Angela: I got to look at that. Who was on there together? Allan Mack and who is the other?
Mikey: Justin, I forget which one though.
Angela: Probably the perverted one on the vets!
Mikey: Is he perverted?
Angela: I am assuming with his screen name he is!
Mikey: Oh! So what convinced you to play again? I'm glad that you are here!
Angela: I don't know, Joe emailed and I haven't heard from him since BBS2 and I just said why not try it. I'm nervous, not sure if I am ready for the lies.
Mikey: You did well for yourself last go around, I'm sure you'll do just fine.
Angela: I shop so, I feel good about it being I have you and Clayton.

MIKEY

It bothers me that Angela thinks that we have some sort of unspoken bond just because we were both in season 2. I like her a lot, but it's been many, many years since we've spoken, she voted to evict me back then, and I have NO IDEA how she plans on playing this game. I'd like to keep her around if only because it might be good to wheel her around as I need her, but she really has to be careful, or at least wisen up a bit if she wants to last.

Mack and Justin T also talked about three people being in the house from their season and saw it as a disadvantage...

Justin T:  Mack!
Mack: Justin.... I can't lie I forgot your real name for a second there, I'm so used to calling you queefy!
Justin T:  It's all good.
Mack: How are you and where are these new people?
Justin T:  I know! My head is about to explode. I don't know who to talk to first. I'm ready to throw up.
Mack: Why? Did someone show you unflattering n00dz?
Justin T:  I wish, nah I've got a cold. And then with all these IMs my head is spinning.
Mack: Luckily for me, a lot of people are ignoring me.
Justin T:  You know what, I wish Jeremy was playing.
Mack: I was waiting to see how long it was before someone referenced him. Me, you  and Allan. He is the true victim here.
Justin T:  He is, Jeremy deserved to win and Joe booted him just like that. I'll never forgive him for that!
Mack: Joe h8. He is such a douche.
Justin T:  Did you see Joe's recap for our season?
Mack: I'm so proud I got 15 seconds of mention <3 Even if they completely bashed me.
Justin T:  I remember him saying that you were the most amusing player.
Mack: That's kind of a bad thing... by the way I'm totes on to you and Allan. One of you HAS to be HOH.
Justin T:  Not me, I'm shitting bricks honestly.
Mack: I think all three of us are, me/you/Allan. H8 there being three of us.
Justin T:  Yeah for reals, watch us all be nommed.
Mack: We were both nom'd week one of S7! I kinda want to now so we can carry the tradition.
Justin T:  No Mack! Some traditions are made to be broken.
Mack: I'm praying that they are. But the lack of people informing me that they could be HOH has me thinking. I am NEVER HoH.

JUSTIN T

Well well well.... Look at who we have here. The infamous Mack! lol He is one person that I was actually glad to see back in the game. However, I dont know if we will be aligning in this game. After what happened last season, he could very well come after me and tell everyone that Im a huge threat, which I am. But he doesnt need to be telling people that! 

Anyways, I have to use a different strategy with him this time around. He will totally be on to me if I acted dumb towards him again. lol I think I'm just going to play it off like I want to trust and work with him. We'll see how well that works. 

Both sides of the house were then told it was time for their first HOH and of course many of the Veterans fell right back into their roles...

Clayton: I guess those 9 rookies have no idea what they're getting into! That's for sure!
Mikey: Starting things off right away!
JD: Not wasting much time are we?
Nate: Yeah, Joe skips the foreplay!
Mack: I can't do this....
Justin T: Too much for you Mack?
Mack: I have to like, prep myself for HOHs!
Clayton: Overwhelmed already?
Mack: *spasm*
Clayton: Anyone know CPR?!?!

Everyone headed to their respective mess halls where several touch screens sat on the table. It was time for their first HOH and time to crown two secret winners...

For your very first HOH you will be of course challenges based upon your fellow Rookie or Veteran's personality traits.

Soon a set of three traits will show on your screens, simply select the correct player that corresponds to these traits and you will move on to the next.

Be the first to correct claim all nine traits and you will be crowned the first secret HOH for your side.

As the players feverously rushed through the traits two players calmly claimed the win... hiding it from the others as WINNER flashed on their screen.

The two HOHs for their respective sides are...

DANNY for the Rookies
NATE for the Veterans

The first two HOHs of the game were set but the rest were about to get a shock as almost 1/3 of the house would be up on the block a matter of 24 hours...

The two HOHs have now been informed that they are the winners, but for the rest of you nominations loom.

Each HOH will have 24 hours to nominate THREE people from their own group, meaning the Vet HOH will nominate three veterans and the Rookie HOH will nominate three rookies.

This will create a block of six nominees who will all be up for eviction. A POV will be played where one player from each group has the chance to be removed.

In the end one player out of the six nominees will be the first player evicted from the game.

These nominations hold more secrets behind them but you will have to wait for tomorrow to find out what else is in store.

With 16 very unhappy players it was time to reveal who they would be competing against as the doors to the house opened and the Veterans finally got to see who was invading the secrecy house...

Mack and Brentin met up right away and were like twins meeting for the first time, well maybe second, third, fourth ok who knows...

Brentin: OMG it's Mack!!!!
Mack: Brentin!!!! <3<3<3 You probably don't remember me, but alas.
Brentin: Omghai! Weren't you in the Big Brother Secrecy game? omgnowai!
Mack: Um... bitch. I was definitely the host of BBI: Las Vegas. The MIA host that no one knew about.
Brentin: Bitch I know who you are! Do we need to take this to Maury???
Mack: YES PLZ!!! Just so you know, I'm kind of in love with you.
Brentin: Get in line, get line! Everyone is. I'm kidding, but thanks <3
Mack: Well see, the great thing about you is that you're like..... me. So I know I can be like OMG HAI WHORE with someone.
Brentin: OMG that's really rue, I would never call someone a whore. WHORE WHORE WHORE!
Mack: OMG <3 Whore is definitely one of my favorite words.
Brentin: It's very like forceful and to the point. I try to incorporate it into my daily vocabulary.
Mack: What kind of music do you listen to?
Brentin: I don't listen to music, I only like the sound of the wind. I was hoping you were playing in this when I found out I got picked
Mack: Really? I doubt that.
Brentin: Bitch don't lie.
Mack: Mmhmm, either way thanks. Did you ready BBS7 eppys?
Brentin: I skimmed over all of them. Your season was one of the best. Everyone was like "OMG Mack is talking to me again ughhh" lmao
Mack: I'm expecting the same this season haha... I like talk to people a lot more than I should
Brentin: Yeah I always worry about annoying people, but so far it hasn't been an issue.

MACK

YES BITCH! I GOT ACCEPTED AGAIN!

Coming into this game, I was very well aware that if I made it, I would be acting as the Jenna Lewis. By that, I mean that I'm the person who got cast because there weren't enough applications, and was a good filler. It's slightly insulting, but whatever - I'm totes fine with being a replacement. I decided to embrace my title, so here it is... a shrine dedicated to JLew: 

JD and Danny had been friends outside the game for awhile and were excited to finally play a game together and hoped to go far without anyone knowing their true friendship...

JD: Are we ready to do this?!?!?!
Danny: I'm ready! I'm excited!
JD: Do you think we should remove Facebook friendship, for the first week or so of the game? I'm afraid of being figured out
Danny: Ohh, I think that we should. I think that's a good idea.
JD: I know! I hope it does not delete our wall-to-wall. Or you could change your privacy settings to show that people cannot view your friends.
Danny: Ooh! I'll do that instead.
JD: I did that, but if someone stalked you they'd see me.
Danny: So.......... I won the HOH!!!!
JD: OH MY GOD!!!! Yayayayayayayayayayaya. We need to really think about what to do. These first rounds are crucial.
Danny: Ohh yes! This is going to be interesting.
JD: I know, are you going to keep it hush hush? I feel like that's best. Cuz you can stir the pot enough to get people more scrambling for votes. Instead of trying to figure out who HOH is.
Danny: For sure, yeah! Plus I don't want to seem a threat.
JD: Definitely not.
Danny: JD.... where do I know Nate from?
JD: Nate is my BFF from forever ago!!! Remember? I met him like when I met you, almost. He's been like my older brother like I've tried to be to you. Though I haven't seen him in real life nearly as much as I've seen you. He went to Dartmouth and helped me try to get in.
Danny: Oh yea! That's how I recognize him. Is he nice?
JD: DUH! You two are like my best friends I've ever made. I really hardly talk to him anymore cuz we're both busy, you and I mange to find time to see each other. Nate's always going to be a good friend, it'd be so cool if you two became friends also.
Danny: Yeah! I'm going to talk to him later, I haven't yet.

DANNY

I'm so happy to be this season's first secret HoH! It's definitely a great advantage, especially since 3/8s of the others will be nominated this round. And, of course, I intend to keep it secret.

Right now, I have one main alliance that I intend to keep for the game's entirety -- it consists of myself, JD, and Nate. JD is one of my best friends outside of this game, and we visit each other as often as we can. Nate is one of JD's closest friends, and plus Nate looks really cute in his main picture. I haven't gotten to know him too well yet, but he seems like a great guy.

JD then went to his other best friend, Nate, and learned the good news that he was in the middle of a power couple...

JD: Dear God I hope you won for the Vets.
Nate: Will you love me even if I didn't get it?
JD: Yes, obviously.
Nate: Ok wel good, but that doesn't matter. BECAUSE I GOT IT!!!!!
JD: THANK GOD!!! Joe is going to think I'm pulling a redux of All Stars. Tilghy won first in that season, and he was like my super BFF then.
Nate: Well whatever gets us to the end.
JD: So how do you feel about Danny? Are you willing to trust me when I say he's someone you should trust?
Nate: Let me get to know him on my own first, but I trust him more since I know you trust him. If that makes sense.
JD: Yeah, understandable.
Nate: But ya, we get to be safe for the first round.
JD: I know! Such a relief. Round one usually is too much of a crapshoot.
Nate: Yeah, and where a lot of dynamics get sorted out.
JD: I was hoping Evan from S7 was going to be here, he seemed really cool.
Nate: Well you can help me figure out the best noms to make. After we get to know all the Vets.
JD: I'll say I'm already concerned about S7. I still don't know how many there are.
Nate: I need to figure that out.
JD: I almost feel like it could be smart for me to get close to S7 and then you put them up, so I can work to save them.
Nate: Possible.
JD: And if they survive, they're on my side and are after S7 people.
Nate: Yeah, we can't nom all S7 people because then they'll band together.
JD: Exactly. I just don't want us to get called out as a pair.
Nate: Who would know we're a pair?
JD: Mike and anyone who pays close attention to Joe's YouTubes. He mentioned I helped cast you. But Mike is kinda dumb. I doubt he actually puts 2+2 together.
Nate: I think we should be fine, we might stage a fight in a few rounds. Just to throw people off.
JD: I just don't know how many people will buy it.

NATE

JD 4EVER! He and I are friends in real life, so I can absolutely trust him. He has Danny in his pocket, so that's another bonus. The people I've most closely tightened myself in with are Angela (we have a Danielle/Jason-type alliance), Clayton, Mack, and Bill. Other people I'm pretty friendly with and have non-nomination agreements with are Mike and Allan. I'm also friendly with Brentin, Perry, and Ryan. There's no one I can't stand yet, but Mack is the most unpredictable/unstable, so he might be a liability sooner than later.

Ben and Tian were BFFs in The Hitlist and were excited to have their regime together again...

Tian: Ben! Should we work together?
Ben: You just wanna be jizzin in the goodness that is to be my roleplays.
Tian: Besides that. Do you ever have a moment in your life where you aren't stirring shit?
Ben: The answer to that question is no.
Tian: That is not true dawling.
Ben: True, you don't stire with me, you're a grand faghag <3
Tian: But you a disloyal fag.
Ben: How am I disloyal?
Tian: You were part of my demise in Hitlist and went to work with Matt.
Ben: I'm not disloyal, I'm a self preservationalist! This fag already gets enough attention with my hair. I didn't need to be Benny Christ Tian's lord and savior.
Tian: Aren't you glad that you are back in the BB house? And I even bet you are the first HOH
Ben: Yes, with all my too impressive challenge run in Hitlist. It's only natural I won the first HOH
Tian: I love your diction but this can be a ploy, reverse psychology or something like that.
Ben: Absolutely, it's so true. I even come from psych class just now. How it's taught me so <3
Tian: So how do you like the veterans side? Are they cut throat?
Ben: Mmmm deepthroat... oops misread. They're muy simpicato.

TIAN

Great, Justin T. and his humongous ego of being a douche. See, me and Justin has a horrendous relationship of not liking each other and for that I want him to go. This isn’t personal vendetta but I saw BB secrecy 7 and he is sneaky some of a bitch. I don’t trust him or I never will trust him since he is just a pretender, asshole and actually my slapstick in this game. I know this sound personal but this is Big Brother and most evictions are personal, right?

Justin G and Brentin realized that 18 players were a lot and believed an intense game was ahead of them...

Brentin: How did you find the HOH comp? It was really tricky!
Justin G: I kept getting lucky, I was like OMG I'm going to win and then like the last 2 I just assumed by process of elimination it could only be 2 people, I didn't realize there would be repeats
Brentin: There were repeats? I just kept randomly clicking images. Not the best strategy to win
Justin G: Did that work for you? Did you get it close?
Brentin: I finished, but Joe already posted that someone won
Justin G: Aw that sucks.
Brentin: Yeah. I got excited at first and then I was like awww darn. I like how only one person is leaving. That makes it less stressful
Justin G: Yeah haha however 16 evictions... its intense.
Brentin: Yeah. There will probably be some double and triple evictions in there
Justin G: -sigh- I loathe doubles I've never experienced a triple
Brentin: Yeah me too. Lately in games I've been voted out or whatever because of twists soooo I hope that doesn't happen here

BRENTIN

Speaking of HOH. MY GOD they are so secret! Like I know this is Big Brother Secrecy, but I didn't think it was like NOT TELL A SOUL Secrecy. Although, I guess that's the point. I just want to know, really bad. If I get nominated I'll be ubber pissed! 

Allan and Clayton found themselves sitting next to each other and started chatting, finding that they would become fast friends...

Allan: Gah so many people. I dont wanna piss of whoever HOH is yet either. Gahhhh
Clayton: Exactly, I wish I knew who the HOH was.
Allan: Me too, but meh. I am just chatting with everyone for now, hoping they don't nominate me is all.
Clayton: Yeah, same.
Allan: It sucks for us because there are three from each of our seasons, with little to go on.... it'd suck to be voted out first of six nomintations.
Clayton: Hahaha exactly.
Allan: This is intense.... everyone is still nice... I know it's round one but still....
Clayton: It'll be interesting to see how the vets and rooks interact.
Allan: I know, I am currently not talking to any Rookies... I will soon though.
Clayton: I talk to a few, nobody is nice enough to evict.
Allan: As long as it isn't me I am down for whatever. Any suspicions on HOH?
Clayton: NO idea, everybody says they don't know but uhm... on has to know
Allan: I promise it isn't me, I'd be comfortable telling you by now.
Clayton: Thanks, that's appreciated. I've got a good vibe from you for sure, no worries.
Allan: Well there are a few worries, since we're not HOH! Let's sleuth a bit.
Clayton: Yeah defintely, but only one of six will go.
Allan: Yeah
Clayton: Hopefully if one of us ends up on the block, one of the other five will go! If we both end up on the block, then ew.
Allan: I would hate that so much.

ALLAN

SO last night I chatted with a lot of people, but very little game stuff. My strategy is mostly to make the effort with everyone and be nice, and hopefully not get nominated until later in the game.

Problem is, that seems to be everyone's strategy right now. No one is suggesting anything and everyone is being neutral.

We're all trying to see if maybe someone will slip up in a conversation about HOH, but nothing really, and no one wants to talk about it all that much either so as not to look suspicious.

Mack saw that Angela was a bit overwhelmed so he decided to break the ice and learned he may find a mother figure in the game that he could trust...

Mack: I feel like the Jenna Lewis of this game... coming back when I didn't do well last time.
Angela: No worries, we can hang together!
Mack: So do you have any kids? How old are they?
Angela: I do, my son will be 17 on the 22nd and my daughter is 14.
Mack: Wow so I'm like right in the middle. That's awesome!
Angela: I really am not that old though, ok!
Mack: I don't think of you as old, my siblings are a lot older than me so its not weird for me.
Angela: Thanks, my kids and hubby tell me I act like a kid
Mack: Like, my brother is 30 and he has two kids and we get along just fine
Angela: That's good, as you should!
Mack: Mhm, my family, I have 10 siblings.
Angela: Wow that's great, I love big families especially reunions.
Mack: My family reunion would NOT be pretty. I only have this many cuz of various divorces and marriages.
Angela: Oh ok, got it. Drama huh?
Mack: Right, my parents are civil with each other, but just barely.
Angela: I'm sorry...
Mack: Meh its fine, I live with my grandma anyways so they don't really interact with me.
Angela: Does she spoil you at atleast?
Mack: Oh yes, I'm too spoiled.
Angela: Good! You deserve it then.

MACK

I DO have an alliance with Angela! It came out of nowhere lmfao. In our second conversation, she randomly asked me for one. I just said sure and went along with it, because there really wasn't anything else I could do. I'm glad we had one, but I hate that she asked me for one... I feel like she's gonna be an early boot =/.

ANGELA

Ok I got to tell you this kid is something else. What a very nice kid. I know I know I am a sucker for the young kids. I can't help it, being that I have 2 teens of my own. I am definitely going to see where I can get with him in conversation. I may be able to allign myself with him. Maybe he will feel bad for me being I am the only female on vets team.

Justin T and Allan were close during BBS7 and both wanted to work together again as they entered this season...

Allan: I am flirting with people without even knowing their sexual orientation. Whatever. 
Justin T: That's awesome haha.
Allan: And FUN, and every so often lucrative. I think I have talked to enough people form both sides to not be evicted.
Justin T: I still need to talk to the newbs.
Allan: I talked to Brian and Ryan, and Perry and Tian.
Justin T: I haven't spoken with Perry, or Brentin orum...
Allan: I forgot half of them. Melisa?
Justin T: Yeah, what about Perry?
Allan: I chatted with him a bit, Clayton just added me on Facebook.
Justin T: Woot! I like Cayton, he's cool.
Allan: Yes he is, I hate not being able to refer to you as Justin.
Justin T: I know....
Allan: I never call you Juice, well with Andii.
Justin T: I know, you did in Housecalls with Tina though.
Allan: I know I wonder why, I am surprised when I read myself having typed it. Altough NOW I have to, lets just vote Justin G out.
Justin T: Ok! There's only room for one Justin.. 

JUSTIN T

Good old Allan. I'm so glad he's in this game. Right now he is the only person that I am going to put any trust in. I know I went against him last season but I feel like we're past that. We just good buds and always will be. I'm looking forward to playing with him again.

He seems to be hitting it off with people. So what I want to do is get as much info from him as possible and use it to my advantage but I also want my decisions and moves to benefit him as well. 

ALLAN

Yayyy!! We've started!! I have been waiting for so long. I need validation. LOL.

We are in the intro section now. I hate this part, simply because it's overwhelming making the initial talk to everyone thing work with 17 pms at once.

Justin and Mack are back from my season. Not who I would have chosen. Well, actually, maybe. I can't decide.

I am going to go now and make the fucking effort getting to know these idiots. I have to pray my nice-acting skills are up and in good shape.

Mack thought that Clayton could be the HOH and tried to smooze him into not putting him on the block...

Mack: Wow you have nice hair.
Clayton: I'm not HOH, sorry.
Mack: Ugh... whoever is HOH can suck it... they are such a shady mofo.
Clayton: Hahaha I agree. OR is it you?
Mack: I wish! I'm horrible with challenge, and I say this hoping irony is on my side and I win whatever the next one is.
Clayton: I just dun wanna be nom'd the 1st round, but we'll see. I'm ok with challenge, but that recent one *coughs*
Mack: I really have NO idea who would be nominated, hopefully not me? I bombed on the last one too.
Clayton: Someone said they heard that me, JD and Mike were gonna be up since we ere on AS.
Mack: Oh really!?!??! That's NOT a good thing because I Haven't heard anything considering nominations.
Clayton: I heard it from JD though, but if that's the case hope the Vets got my back, we'll see.
Mack: How would it get to JD? That's what I want to know.
Clayton: No idea, but if the reason is cuz we did All Stars... pssh.
Mack: I'm not worried about you guys being in AS at all. No offense of course.
Clayton: No offense taken.
Mack: I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get nominated, I would be one giant spasm to say the least. I'm obnoxious enough as it is without having to worry about being nominated.

Brian and Melisa both seemed somewhat confused on some aspect of the game and used their confusion to bond, and worry about nominations...

Brian: I'm going to pee my pants!
Melisa: It's scary, but only one person will go home..
Brian: Yeah, out of six! So I'm not TOO scared.
Melisa: I thought it was one from each side? 11.66% chance.
Brian: I'm pretty sure it will be a vet, because they all have past experiences and some of them have to hate each other.
Melisa: Wait.... 16.66% chance.
Brian: Oh wow! How did you do that?
Melisa: Calculator.
Brian: Shoulda just said "I did it in my head!"
Melisa: I was going to!
Brian: I would have believed you and been so impressed
Melisa: We all don't know each other, they have pasts with each other. We don't know how anyone did so you really can't nominate "Weak" players.
Brian: Right, or the strong ones either.
Melisa: I thought coming in that I would know who HOH was, like I had an extra sense. I have no idea!
Brian: Me neither, it's odd.

MELISA

So... I still love all the people. But im still nervous abut the nominations. I kind of feel like Brian is is our HOH. Him or Ryan, or Perry. But something leans me toward Brian, so i need to talk to him.

BRIAN

Zomg! I was accepted! Yayz.

That's it for now, lol. You'll get more! Calm down, Joe! You're scaring me!

PUT THE KNIFE DOWN!!!

After seeing some of the veterans in the game, Perry realized he was on the wrong team and talked to Danny about possibly working together as the "grandpas"...

Perry: I got to say man our team freakin sucks, I already like the other team more.
Danny: Why? I haven't gotten to know too many people yet.
Perry: Wait until you talk to them.
Danny: You're actually one of the only ones from our team I know.
Perry: Seriously your the main person I get along with, they just aren't that talkative and its a little hard to relate towards them. I mean Brentin is cool and funny.
Danny: Yeah, relating to other people is everything, some do seem kinda bitchy though. Am I right with that?
Perry: Yeah or they are the type to go OMG thnkx i <3 you fver. Which I'm not sure how to respond to that stuff.
Danny: LMAO.... itsryankthx.
Perry: Yeah, plus me and you are the oldest people on our team also I think. Which is like wow since I'm 22 and you're 21.
Danny: Yeah it's kinda weird.
Perry: We are basically the grandpa's
Danny: It would be cool if we both made it for, I'd like taht a lot.
Perry: I'm hoping to be around a lot of the more chill people towards the end. But so far you are the person I like the most.

PERRY

Right now the people I think won the HoH are Bill, Ryan or Justin. I just cant picture anybody else winning it honestly. I think Justin would be cool with me and wouldnt toss me up. Ryan....well he might cause I dont see Ryan as somebody I can connect with on any level plus he reminds me alot of this other Ryann that plays these games. Then there is Bill *sigh* ok well after me and Bills last game together I know he does not like me as a person infact he loathes me as a person. He says thats behind him and he just snapped and blah blah blah. But last I checked he didnt bash anybody else in that game personally just me. He wants to work together but he is full of shit I will whack his stupid mentally challenged ass out asap he doesnt mean shit to me anymore after what he has said about me. Kiss my ass Bill.

The person who I hands down like the most right now though is Danny on my side. We just click right off the bat but I dont see him much of a power player sadly enough. But if I had to pick anybody to work with it would be him right now.

DANNY

In making my decision, I'm also giving careful consideration to the adjectives each Rookie used to describe himself/herself in the initial application for this game. Why would I want somebody who is bitchy and outspoken (Tian) or a controlling douchebag (Perry), or somebody who is disagreeable and cantankerous (Brentin)? Hmm... sounds like it could be an easy out for my nominations speech as well.

"Perry, I nominate you because you are a self-described controlling douchebag who I have yet to connect with. Similarly, Brentin, you described yourself as cantankerous in your application." Hmmm... I'll definitely need to modify my way of writing as I type my speech.

Mikey and Mack had yet to chat and with both of them having two others from their season, both realized that their entire "group" could go up on the block first round...

Mack: You are from BBS2 right?
Mikey: Yes
Mack: There are three of you right?
Mikey: There are three....
Mack: Thank GOD! That makes me VERY happy.
Mikey: Really?
Mack: Mhm, I thought that because there were three BBS7 people, people would target us. Butttt there are three BBS2, so hopefully they target you guys instead. Kidding...
Mikey: Hahahahaha
Mack: Because three noms = one season gets put up together.
Mikey: It's been something I'm worrying about.
Mack: Same here, and I'm awful in first impressions (if you can't already tell I'm sure you are bashing me as we speak) too so when I get nominated in week one... it's just like one spasmadic trainwreck.
Mikey: I'm honestly not taking any of this conversation out of this box, first off there are too many intros to do and secondly it's too early to make judgements.
Mack: Be right back, I need to construct your worship shrine. If only everyone else thought along the same lines as you!
Mikey: That's for now, I don't think I'm a BB saint.
Mack: I definitely am not, BB istn' my game but I love the dynamics of it.
Mikey: I enjoy it too.

MIKEY

He's going to be fun to talk to, but he's a little too off his rocker for me. I don't think I'll be able to trust him, but hopefully I can get on his good side for a while. The season 7 people are the freshest and the people that I worry about the most right now. I really hope that I can avoid being lumped in with the season 2 folks, especially because it's not my intention to work with them at all.

Tian then saw that Justin T was in the game and just had to congratulate him on his relationship with past BBS7 houseguest Lilly...

Justin T: Hello Courtney
Tian: Juice, congrats!
Justin T: You too!!!
Tian: Well I was talking about your love life.
Justin T: Oh! Hahahaha, thanks!
Tian: Who would of thought?
Justin T: I don't know, it's amazing though. I'm incredibly happy.
Tian: OMG that is so sweet that two orgers fell in love.
Justin T: It is
Tian: So how have you been?
Justin T: Pretty good, Lilly actually gave me a cold. She left this morning.
Tian: By swapping spit?
Justin T: Exactly, many bodily fluids were exchanged.
Tian: OMG!!!!
Justin T: Did you win HOH?
Tian: No....
Justin T: Me either
Tian: At least you have a comfy girlfriend.
Justin T: Mhm that is true!

JUSTIN T

Oh boy... Honestly, she isn't someone who I really wanted to see in the game. We have had a history of not getting along. We were in a game before and it didn't end well. haha 

But Im going to try and mend the fences a bit and try and get her on my side and hopefully she will trust me, blah blah... I find her to be annoying but maybe she has changed? Doubt it. But we'll see. 

Nate had made his nominations without talking too much to JD and both wantd to ensure that Ben took the blame, not Nate...

Nate: I took your advice into consideration
JD: Who is going to be on the block?
Nate: Between what you told me and who I felt least comfortable I think I've made a good decision.
JD: I was hoping to talk to you and see if we could put Justin up. More or less because I wanna see what he's made of.
Nate: It's between him and Mack.
JD: I LIKE him, I just wanna see how he handled the block. I know how others do.
Nate: I just felt weird pressure from Mack, and wanted to see if he'd be gracious on the block or not. I want people to think Ben's HOH. I'm even going to include "yah" in my nom reasons. Which is what Benny uses. We'll see how it plays out.
JD: I'm trying to figure out who they'll think HOH is.
Nate: Let's just keep deferring it to Benny, all the noms are seasons 2/7 people and Benny is S3. If people think it's me I can deny it and direct them elsewhere.
JD: I'm mostly saying I think it's Angela/you/Ben. I have to act normal and throw your name into the mix.
Nate: That's fine, just don't throw me under the bus.
JD: I think it's really going to fall upon you or Ben.

Everyone was then called into their respective mess hall for their nominations to begin. The Veterans were up first and it was time for three of the big guns to face elimination...

Benny...... you are safe

Ben: ...!
Mack: That's not my name x.x

Allan...... you are safe

Allan: <3
Ben: I made it past my original season!
Angela: Wooohoo ALLEN

Nate........ you are safe

Angela: YEAH NATE
Nate: alifejaw;ief

Justin T..... you are safe

Mack: Oh shit
Justin T: pheww
Angela: WTG Justin
Mack: Haha two more keys

JD...... you are safe

Angela: Go JD!
Host Joe: One key remains
Mack: FUCK ME
Justin T: Thank you hoh!
JD: Thank you

Angela..... you are safe

Ben: Oh no
Angela: Oh wow Thank you
Justin T: Mack....
Mack: Welp, bitches.
Ben: That's action packed!
Mack: OMGAH SPASM ATTACK

With all the keys pulled that means that CLAYTON, MACK and MIKEY have been nominated for the Veterans. Nate's reasons were then read over the loudspeaker...

NATE

That means I nominated Mike, Clayton, and Mack. I haven't really talked to any of you much yet, so yah that's why.

While Mack had a mini-freak out over his nomination, the Rookies were getting their first taste of the secret key pull...

Danny........ you are safe

Brentin: Good luck!

Tian......... you are safe
 

Ryan...... you are safe

Ryan: OMG!
Brian: How many keys?
Justin G: One more
Host Joe: A total of six.
Ryan: Thank you secret HOH! I love you!

Perry....... you are safe

Perry: Cool thanks HoH!

Brian..... you are safe

Brian: OMG kl;gsdflgk <333
Host Joe: One key remains

Brentin...... you are safe

Justin G: OMG :-(
Danny: Wow
Brentin: Phew!
Danny: This is scary

The three that would take the heat for the Rookies first were BILL, JUSTIN G and MELISA. Danny's reasons were also then read over the loud speaker...

DANNY

I nominate Melissa, Bill, and Justin G for this week's eviction. Very sorry but I didnt know who to pick, but God Bless and best of luck!!!!

The two sides then met in the living room where they saw the six nominee's keys laying on the table. Their keys were now a different color and the game was about to shift as the Battle was about to grow...

As you all know this season is called the Battle. You entered this game in two groups: Veterans vs Rookies.

The six nominations have now created a third group called the Misfits and now consists of Bill, Clayton, Justin G, Mack, Melisa and Mikey.

In the rounds following this one, the winners of the HOH cannot nominate anyone in their own group. This means that a Veteran HOH cannot nominate a fellow veteran, a Rookie HOH cannot nominate a fellow rookie and a Misfit cannot nominate a fellow misfit.

Get used to your new groups, Misfits a new barracks will open up for you and as you move in your things get prepared as the Power of Veto is near.

We now leave the house as the players soak up the news and get ready for their first Power of Veto challenge. Who will win, who will be saved and who will be the first to go?
