Week 1

[Nathan]

Ok, challenge is up - game is on...

I decided earlier that I wanted to go for HOH because I couldn't risk someone like Donna or Anthony winning. I do NOT want to be the first person out of the game.

So when I saw the challenge, I was pretty quick to find the answers and I feel like I was the first to submit. Then I sent messages to Will, Heather, and Barinade. I told them I got the answers and submitted quickly and that I feel like I have a good shot to win if they'll vote for me. I also promised them all safety if they did.

So hopefully they will vote for me to be HOH (since none of them know me - I think), I imagine they won't care. And I really would keep them safe. I had wanted to put Will up, but I don't need to rush that. I'd rather get Donna and Anthony out this week. They're not only working together, but they're working against me. I can't have that. No, no, no...

[Nathan]

Win the first HOH competition of Big Brother All Stars? Check.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it might not have been the smartest thing I could have done - winning the first HOH is a classic mistake in Big Brother - but I was starting to feel like I couldn't put my fate into other people's hands. I had a target on me anyway, so I realized I could either lay low and try to make people forget about me (which probably wouldn't have worked), or I could come out, guns blazing, and try to knock out some of the bitches who are trying to knock me out. So that is exactly what I'm going to do.

Oh, and did I mention the ass kissing benefits that come along with it? It's amazing how being HOH can translate into making so many new friends. I mean, really Anthony and Dick? NOW you want to “work with me”? After not even saying hello, and after me hearing how much you two are after me, you suddenly want to be allies now that I'm HOH. Not on my watch, biatch.

One of them has to leave this week. Every one of my allies wants Dick out first, but I think keeping him around is better for me. No one else is going to put Anthony up. If Dick stays, everyone will put him up. No one likes him. Having a big target around is always a good thing for me. So ideally, Anthony leaves this week. But what is ideal doesn't always happen, and what happens is not always ideal. I think Dick leaving is the more likely scenario here.

If that happens, I need to see if I can get Anthony to not hate me afterwards... highly unlikely, I know. Winning the first HOH has a lot of sides to it. It could completely blow up in my face if I don't handle if properly. But for now, I'm just going to be happy about my win, feel secure but appear humble, take out a threat to my spot in the game, and hope that one of my allies can take next week's HOH.

[Nathan]

And now, a chat with Doctor Thrills - a bit of background - he and I had words several times durin BB5. I'm not the kind of sit aroud and keep my mouth shut if someone is bugging me (as far as a host). If I think something is unfair, I don't see any problem with speaking up. I don't expect the host to care, but it's my right to speak up if I want to.

Well, Thrills and I had more than one disagreement. I haven't talked to him since then, and well... here you go:


"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:07:35 PM): hey hey

JDeanUT (10:27:52 PM): bitch
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:28:01 PM): i would hope you wouldn't put me up.. not THIS early
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:28:03 PM):
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:28:06 PM): lol
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:28:23 PM): but in all seriousness, no i wouldn't nominate you
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:28:37 PM): if you kept me off the block

"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:30:47 PM): thank you
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:30:50 PM): *deep breath*
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:30:51 PM): lol
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:30:58 PM): i was worried you held some animosity towards me
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:31:02 PM): cuz i was such a hard ass in bb5
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:31:12 PM):
JDeanUT (10:32:04 PM): haha as if I wasn't a hard ass during BB5
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:32:11 PM): so you have it planned out?
JDeanUT (10:32:22 PM): yeah I know who I'm putting up
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:32:35 PM): I see
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:32:52 PM): should be pretty darn suspenseful
JDeanUT (10:33:02 PM): well, it won
JDeanUT (10:33:07 PM): won't be too big a surprise I'd imagine
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:33:11 PM): maybe we could work together in the game, but as for now i think its safe to just know we arent targeting each other
JDeanUT (10:33:28 PM): yeah exactly. that's what I wanted to hear from you
JDeanUT (10:33:34 PM): cause I'm not after you
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:33:38 PM): same here
JDeanUT (10:33:54 PM): awesome
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:35:37 PM): do you know most people in this cast?
JDeanUT (10:35:40 PM): that's good that we know that we don't have to be watching our backs with each other
JDeanUT (10:36:01 PM): I know a few. there's a lot I am just meeting now
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:36:12 PM): yeah well I trust you, i saw firsthand in BB5 you really were for the most part a straight up guy
JDeanUT (10:36:36 PM): well yeah I was a bit bitchy, but I didn't go around lying and backstabbing all over
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:36:39 PM): well i could probably dish some dirt on anyone you wonder about, im pretty familiar with everyone
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:36:40 PM): haha
JDeanUT (10:37:07 PM): nice...
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:37:10 PM): this is a pretty good cast
JDeanUT (10:37:18 PM): well we'll have to gossip later. I am about to head to bed
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:37:26 PM): sure thing lmao
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:37:42 PM): i think i will too now that you mention it
"BBAS RGO - DoctorThrills" (10:37:52 PM): night
JDeanUT (10:38:41 PM): night



Ok so despite the fact that he clearly did not agree to "work with me", the fact that he mentioned that he is not after me is good enough. It's a lot more believable than Anthony suddenly promising to have my back. Truthfully, Thrills would have probably been my veto replacement this week if it came to that. But after our chat, I think I can let him live.

[Nathan]

Hahahaha.... Donna quit after I nominated her! What a sore loser. Good riddance.

Well, there's one down. Donna suggested we move on to HOH #2 now, but I still think I should get to play out my HOH week. Or at the very least, I should be able to compete in the next HOH.

[Jeffie Chen]

I felt the same way (about the HoH part). You're competing in the next HoH.

[Nathan]

Thanks Jeffie. I appreciate that, and think it is very fair.

[Nathan]

Ok, final thoughts on this week:

Overall, I’d call my HOH a success. I got Donna out – and I get to compete in the next week’s HOH. Not a bad scenario. I also think I escaped relatively unscathed as far as making enemies. Anthony might not be too happy with me, but I’m trying to mend that fence:

JDeanUT (12:02:27 PM): hey Anthony
"BB5- Anthony” (12:02:35 PM): Hey
JDeanUT (12:03:54 PM): just wanted to say that I am not after you
JDeanUT (12:03:56 PM): I never was
"BB5- Anthony” (12:04:12 PM): Ok, nice to know haha, but that past game I think Sheree pitted us against each other..
JDeanUT (12:04:20 PM): yeah she did
"BB5- Anthony” (12:04:31 PM): and Whoever was saying that I am after you, is lying. because i havent spoken to anyone in this game except that 1 pm to you
JDeanUT (12:05:26 PM): yeah it's possible. people are going to start trouble in this game
"BB5- Anthony” (12:05:49 PM): ya, but im not after you. so you dont have to worry about that.
JDeanUT (12:06:05 PM): ok cool
JDeanUT (12:06:14 PM): then I'm not after you
"BB5- Anthony” (12:06:26 PM): ok, so we are cool then haha
JDeanUT (12:06:32 PM): yep, as far as I'm concerned we are


Do I believe him? Not exactly. But it’s a start. Hopefully one of my allies will win HOH. I don’t think it will be too smart for me to win twice in a row, so I’m not going to try TOO hard, but we’ll see. I still don’t feel completely safe in this game, so if I have to win, I have to win… although now that Donna is gone and I’m trying to make nice with Anthony, I have NO idea who I’d put up. Maybe Chad or Heather just because they are boring as hell, and there is no room in All Stars for that.


Oh, and P.S. In my nomination speech when I said that several people had come to me to tell me that Donna and Anthony wanted me out? You know... the reason that Donna imploded and quit the game like a big fat pansy? Oh yeah... I made that up. No one came to me and told me anything. I just needed an excuse for putting them up in the first week.
