Episode One

[Angie Swindell]

Okay to start off my diary room I'm gonna do the challenge and I'll have an actual update for the first night later.

Alrighty here it goes...

1. Which female housemate looks better in a bikini? ANGIE or KAITLIN?

Not to toot my own horn, but I'm gonna go with ANGIE.

2. Which male housemate would make a better underwear model? BRENDON or CODY?

This one is really a no brainer. CODY.

3. Which housemate's book of memoirs is more likely to make the bestsellers list? ALEX or GINAMARIE?

If she's anything like the real thing, GINAMARIE.

4. Which housemate is more likely to lose this competition? NATALIE or KEVIN?

I don't know, NATALIE.

5. Which Canadian housemate is the nicest? KENNY or TOPAZ?

I haven't watched BB Canada, so I guess TOPAZ.

6. Which housemate is more likely to be a star in this year's episodes? SABRINA or CODY?

As hot as he is, Cody's pretty boring so I choose SABRINA.

7. Which housemate will be more boring in this year's episodes? JENN or JEE?

I feel like these are all based of the real people, but JENN.

8. Which housemate is more likely to win this competition? RONNIE or KEESHA?

Probably KEESHA.

Tiebreaker:  I predict there will be 80 points given out.

[Angie Swindell]

I am so excited to be entering the Big Brother house! I haven't seen any other seasons of BBStyle, so I kinda feel like a recruit but hopefully I can do as well as those who might have never missed an episode.  Anyways, I love the house mostly, except the bedrooms which is too bad.  I'm saying that now, but I'm sure if I'm a have not I'll be clamoring to get back in a real bed.  I'm really curious about the House Next Door, and I'm really bummed I came that close to winning the challenge.  I guess my vanity got the best of me, although I will maintain I look hot for being over 30. 

Anyways, on to the houseguests.  I really, really like Alex so far.  I feel like we talk really easily and we haven't had to pull conversation out of him.  Same goes for Keesha, she is great to talk to.  I'll put some of our convos up later, although they're not about game stuff and more just talking about whatever so I don't know how relevant they'd be.  Kevin is also really chill, so is Topaz.  I mean everyone seems nice, but I'm sure that'll change soon.  I like the people in my room so far, except Ronnie because if he had played in the competition I probably would've won unless he got everything wrong.

As for Roddy choosing to send himself to the House Next Door, I think it's gonna put a bigger target on his back because of the secret power that he might have now.  I think I'm gonna be set for this round, at least, because I've talked to mostly everyone so unless Ronnie shows up I'm not that worried.

[Angie Swindell]

That HoH comp was really fun.  I'm surprised I did as well as I did because I picked a random number for one of the questions, and suddenly I have to nominate people again.  I think that it also helped solidify my friendships with Keesha and Alex, as they both really had my back when I was nominated, at least votes wise.  I'm glad Kevin wound up beating Sabrina, because although I like her I've talked to Kevin a lot more.  He told me after that I'm fine for this week so here's hoping to a nice, easy first round.  I think that either Natalie or Ronnie is gonna go this week, because neither have been very social, at least not to me.  Other than that, I think this week I'm just gonna be chilling and continue to talk to people and hopefully start making formal alliances.

[Angie Swindell]

In what had to be the most suspenseful nomination ceremony of all time, Natalie and Ronnie were put up.  Shocker.  I really have no care as to which of those two goes out, because most likely the other will be heading home next week.  It's almost as if they aren't even in the house.  You see their pictures on the memory wall, and that's really about it.  Anyways, I don't think the HoH competition or the nomination ceremony really revealed anything, other than that Kevin is here to play.  I know Alex was trying to throw it, although I'm not really sure about the others.  I think right now I'm in a pretty good position, seeing as I've talked at least a bit to everyone besides Ronnie, Natalie, and Cody.  Right now I'm not too concerned about alliances, as I think they'll naturally happen once the game really gets going, since this week we're still feeling each other out.  I think the power players though are gonna be Kevin, Alex, and maybe Sabrina, just going off the vibes I've been getting.  Hopefully I'll be able to skate by these first couple of weeks without putting a target on my back, but if push comes to shove, I'm sure as hell not going down without a fight.

[Angie Swindell]

Interesting development in the alliance department, Brendon has approached me about having each other's backs throughout the game.  I like Brendon, and he seems like he's here to try to play.  I think it's a good idea to make a pairing like this at least for the first couple weeks to know you have a vote or a safe round if the other person becomes HoH, but I can't say for sure if it'll be a permanent thing.  If I have to cut him eventually, I will, although that's looking way to far down the road.  I'm gonna take it one day at a time.

Relevant Conversation:

Brendon:
I feel like if us 2 work togeher in the game
we would be really good
Angie:
yea def
we've both been pretty active and as far as i can tell you're a stand up guy
Brendon: 
aw thanks! and you're a pretty stand up girl yourself
Angie: 
thank you i try
Angie: 
but yea if you wanna have each others backs id definitely be down for that
Brendon: 
yeah definitely
Angie: 
alrighty its settled then
cool
Brendon: 
wooot!

[Angie Swindell]

So apparently a lot of guys want my back, because both Jee and Kevin have also offered to watch it for me.  Both approached me, kinda like Brendon did, and I agreed because I'm not looking at them as formal alliances, so it's really a low risk, high reward thing.  Ideally, we could all work together at some point, except Jee doesn't like talking to Kevin which I don't understand but whatever.  I would also throw in Keesha and Alex, and I think that could be a really solid six if anything ever winds up manifesting.  I think I'm gonna have a hard time if I win HoH though, because I really do like everyone I've talked to so far, for the most part.  Except apparently GinaMarie was spreading a rumor that me and Keesha had a deal, which apparently stems from Keesha telling her she was keeping me in the HoH.  Maybe it was just poor English skills on GinaMarie's part, but she seems to think that we have a game deal, which is the first I've heard of such a thing.  I don't think anyone is gonna take GinaMarie seriously anyway, but it is kinda annoying.  Anyways, the house seems to want Natalie gone, which I have no problem with, except that she's become pretty entertaining now that she's starting talking more.  

Anyways, I'll put up the relevant conversations tomorrow.

[Angie Swindell]

Kevin:
Can you keep a secret
Angie:
yes
Kevin:
I'm not trying to start anything here, but since you brought it up
GM made a mention of you and Keesha making a supposed deal
Which I dunno if it's true or if she's just trying to get you guys targetted
Angie:
ive not made a deal with keesha that I'm aware of
in the hoh she said she wouldn't vote me off in the game and i reciprocated if thats what she's talking about
Kevin:
Yeah but she made it seem like you promised each other that and for the real game
Angie:
keesha told me gm got really mad at her for evicting her in the game over me so idk if she's just pissed at that
its also possible that maybe she misunderstood something or got the english wrong
its obviously not her first language
Kevin C:
Yeah I think she uses google translate
I don;t think like, she's a big threat atm
She's just jumping the gun on something that I think is no big deal
Angie:
well thank you for telling me
Kevin:
No problem. I trust you and think your a really cool person
Angie:
thanks i feel the same way about you
Kevin:
Really? Awesome!
Angie:
yea i think you're the person I've probably had the best convos with so far
def in the top two
Kevin C:
Haha thanks!
Is Keesha the other one ;D
Angie:
i do like talking to keesha lol
Kevin C:
Hahaha same for me actually
Angie:
im glad were in agreement
Kevin C:
Ditto. So how about like
I watch your back, you watch mine?
Angie:
yea that sounds good for me
Angie Swindell's icon
if i ever hear anything come up ill let you know and obviously noms and stuff
Kevin:
Ditto.
Angie:
alright cool
Kevin:
Yeah awesome!

[Angie Swindell]

Jee:
so how do u feel about everyone in this house?
Angie:
i like most people
and these people are no exceptions
i think that sabrina is gonna be kinda shady
based on the hoh comp
but maybe its bc i just nominated her lol
Jee:
lmao really?
thats prolly whyy
yeah same tho everyones pretty nice but i only like get along with a few
Angie:
like whom?
Jee:
well of course u, sabrina, keesha, alex, and topaz
like i can hold convos with u guys
its kinda hard talking to kevin
Angie:
really?
i get along great with kevin
Jee:
really? idk i guess for me its cuz i usually have to keep thinking of things to talk about
like i usually try but its a struggle
im wondering if there are alliances out there yet
Angie:
I'm sure some are forming
Jee:
truee
can i ask u something??
Angie:
yea sure
Jee:
like by no means do we have to form an alliance, but what do u say to us like at least watching each other's backs for the next few weeks?
theres something i feel i can trust about u
Angie:
okay thats fine with me
Jee:
awesome! ^^

Also hosts, just out of curiosity, do you want the other kinda menial convos for the episodes?  Or is this good for so far?  I just wanna make sure I contribute what you guys need.

[Dan Neal]

This is good so far. Thanks Angie!

[Angie Swindell]

People just keep making deals with me...  Add Kaitlin to the list, which means I'm currently watching out for Jee, Kevin, Brendon, and her, and they are all watching out for me.  I'm a little worried about spreading myself too thin, but I think the only major outlier of that group is Brendon, like I think Jee and Kevin and Kaitlin could all hypothetically work together at some point.  I also think that group is more likely to last longer than some of these other people, so hopefully I won't have to worry about that for a while.  As much as I want an HoH room, I either have to win it like in the next two weeks or pretty much never until people start breaking into groups.  I would have a really hard time having to nominate from some points forward.  Anyways, the conversation is below.

Angie:
so what are you thinking for the vote?
Kaitlin:
Natalie for me
Angie:
i was thinking the same
Kaitlin:
I just think she's going to try and cause drama if she stays based on her "character"
Angie:
haha yea that could get old really fast
and also it might knock out two birds with one stone if ronnie is ejected for not showing up for anything
Kaitlin:
exactly, two people who didn't do anything first two challenges, and the real game can begin.
Angie:
yea lol
i feel like this week has been all so polite and people are itching to really start
Kaitlin:
omg, I just posted about that in my DR haha
(although I feel like it's genuine with you!) but definitely, I htink too many people are all like rainbows and flowers lol
Angie:
thanks i really do like talking to you so i hope I dont seem disingenuous
Kaitlin:
you don't :-)
speaking of which, I wanted to just officially I guess ask, if you would like to work together!
Angie:
yea sure
Kaitlin:
yay :-)
Angie:
like a watch out for each other kinda thing?
Kaitlin:
yes
I have your back and you have mind
mine*
Angie:
yea def
if i ever hear anything ill let you know
Kaitlin:
and vice versa!
and obviously if i ever win HOH, you would be safe and if you were to be on the block and I won POV, I'd use it on you.
Angie:
same for you
Kaitlin:
:-)
Angie:
so what do you think of everyone else in the game so far?
Kaitlin:
Like I said most people seem nice but we won't know for sure until later.
I do like Kevin a lot, he seems genuine as well
Gina Marie I have suspicions about, I don't know why, it's a gut feeling.
Angie:
i feel that way about sabrina
like she's not gonna be really all too trustworthy
Kaitlin:
I do too, I've talked to her a bit, she seems nice, but I agree with you, there is definitely something there
She seems like the type who wouldn't blink twice before stabbing somebody in the back
Angie:
exactly
like she'd agree to a deal and then when it comes down to it she'll get all flaky
Kaitlin:
mhm, and make up some silly excuse
Angie:
like i dont wanna disrespect the hoh or something like that
and then she'd get all upset if you dont vote her to win
Kaitlin:
What do you think of Kenny and Alex? (and she definitely seems like that type of person!)
Angie:
so far i really like both of them
ive talked to alex more but kenny is really cool
Kaitlin:
They seem so similiar to me from the talks I have had with them
Angie:
really?
alex is more jokey from my experience
if that makes sense
Kaitlin:
Kenny and Alex have both been like that
Angie:
do you think theyre not genuine?
Kaitlin:
oh no I think they are, I just meant they seem similiar as in personality wise
I haven't talked to Jenn, Natalie, Ronnie, Cody and Roddy
Gina Marie a little bit but I want to kind of stay away, Topaz I've only pm'd with so I can't say
I like Keesha as well
Angie:
ive talked a bit to jenn and roddy
ik cody is in australia so its tough to be online at the same time
Kaitlin:
ooh
Angie:
gm doesn't speak english well so its kinda tough
Kaitlin:
yeah that would be tough
Angie:
topaz is nice and keesha is great to talk to
Kaitlin:
It seems like half the cast isn't on a lot though, but than again, I'm not on a lot either
I had like a 10 line convo with Brendon before he had to go as well
Angie:
brendon is alright
he's nice enough and I've never really had a problem talking with him
i feel like I'm gonna say that about everyone though lol
Kaitlin:
I'm sure our opinions will change in a few weeks though
Angie:
haha yea

[Angie Swindell]

Also this was me relaying the convo with Kevin to Keesha:


Angie:
gm has apparently been bitching about some deal we have
Keesha:
like
you and i?
Angie:
yep
Keesha:
lol geeze
Angie:
i think it had something to do with the hoh
Keesha:
i'll remember to lie to her in the future
:-P
i just told her
i was evicting her
it was a silly mini
i thought lying over it would be way worse
Angie:
haha i think it might be her english skills
Keesha:
or lack thereof
Angie:
exactly
maybe she was confused or translated something wrong
Keesha:
yeah i dunno
that's silly though to be talking shit already
Angie:
yea idk whats up with her
if anything its just annoying
Keesha:
it really is
i doubt anyone's taking it seriously?
Angie:
i hope not
it is gm after all
Keesha:
haha
very true

[Angie Swindell]

First Eviction Vote:

I vote to evict Natalie.

Natalie showed up late, whether it was her fault or not, and has just been strange.  I feel kinda bad since Ronnie hasn't even bothered showing up at all, but the others also seem to want to boot Natalie, and I really don't care that much about which of Ronnie and Natalie leaves first, so whatever.

Goodbye Messages:

Natalie - Sorry, but you didn't show up on time and when you did, you just didn't seem sane and that's not really a person I'd like to play with.

Ronnie - I doubt you're even gonna show up to your own eviction, so good riddance.

Jenn - If you are seeing this, there is something seriously messed up with the rest of the house.  You should not be leaving, but if you are, I don't even know what's with these people.

[Angie Swindell]

In a stroke of good luck, Topaz approached me about working together, and the names that we decided to try to form an alliance with were Jee and Alex, with a chance of Kaitlin.  This really helps me out a lot, since I have deals with Jee and Kaitlin, and it will be a lot easier to manage by grouping them all together.  So far, Alex is on board with it, which is great because I really wanted to work with him.  I think Jee will definitely agree to it, we had been talking about expanding whatever our deal is to make more of a dent in the total votes and stuff.  The only thing is that Topaz thinks Kaitlin might be too close to Kenny, since I mentioned to her that I know she likes talking to him.  It seems to me that she's being a little paranoid, because she thinks that since Kenny hasn't really responded to her that he's already in an alliance and doesn't feel the need to talk to other people.  Same with Kevin, although I don't get that at all because if either of them have a brain they'd know better than to completely shut everyone else out once they form alliances.  I'm not too worried about it anyway because I've kept a good relationship with each and have something working with Kevin so I think I would know if something was up.  Regardless, I'll be talking it over with Jee and Kaitlin later to try to get them on board, so here's hoping it'll come together.

[Angie Swindell]

Topaz:
Has anyone approached u for an alliance yet?
Angie:
not really
like some people have been like we should look out for each other but no concrete alliances
Topaz:
I was gettin worried people were aligning and I was gonna be on the outs
Angie:
i think you're fine
like as far as i know people are still just kinda bent on getting ronnie and natalie out
Topaz:
I hope so
Angie:
and then idk if anyone has any real plans after that
Topaz:
Hopefully we can work together tho I'd rather work with people who I get along with it makes things easier
Angie:
yea id like that
like you're one of the people i could see being with
like for a group
Topaz:
Yeah definitely me too! I think were on the same page so it would work well
Angie:
i've been getting on well with most of the people but for people id want to be together with i think id rather go with people who seem to be competitors
like kevin and alex
maybe kaitlin
Topaz:
Yeah I agree! I like Kaitlin and Alex I get on with them well!
Kevin's great too but I haven't spoke much to him the last couple of days! He's a great competitor tho
Angie:
and all of us are pretty active too
i think that could be rather good
Topaz:
Yeah definitely! Do u speak much to Kevin?
Angie:
yea i talk to him whenever we're both on
we get along pretty well
Topaz:
He doesn't really put much effort into replies to me so I get a bit worried about that
Angie:
i think jee was saying that about him too
Topaz:
I messaged him earlier and he's been online for ages and hasn't replied
Angie:
hmmm thats weird
I've been talking to him pretty much this whole tiem
time
Topaz:
See that worries me!
Angie:
huh
Topaz:
He might just be busy or something tho!
Angie:
idk what to tell you
Topaz:
Haha no it's fine!
Angie:
that seems to be a trend though
Topaz:
You mean about Kevin only replying to certain people?
Angie:
yea like jee told me it was difficult to keep conversations flowing with him
Topaz:
That makes me think that he may already have an alliance in the game so isn't too worried about speaking much to other people!
Angie:
ooo maybe
Topaz:
So I don't think we should go to him about an alliance cos if that's true and he does have joe and he knows we are trying to start an alliance then he could come after us
Angie:
very true
Topaz:
One* not joe
Angie:
haha i was like who's joe?
would you want to try to fill the space with anyone else?
Topaz:
Haha joe is the new houseguest livin with roddy
Angie:
secret joe arvin appearance lol
Topaz:
Do u get on with jee? I like him.
Angie:
yea i like him and he seems to have a good head on his shoulders
like he won't do anything crazy
Topaz:
Yeah I agree! I think we could make it work it would be a good group
Angie:
i agree
how would you wanna go about this?
like trying to get it together?
Topaz:
Well I am talking to Alex now so I am gonna mention it to him
Angie Swindell's icon
alright i can bring it up to the others later
like ik thats its getting late where you are
Topaz:
I have been speaking with Jee and I think he will definitely be up for it. Alex is up for it too
Angie:
okay cool
ill bring it up to kaitlin when she gets on
Topaz:
Do u think Kaitlin is close to anyone else who it could get back to? I know her, Kenny and Kevin hate Natalie and want her gone so maybe she is working with them? I dunno I rele like her tho I just don't want our alliance to get out to anyone
Angie:
i dont think so
she isn't online that much
Topaz:
Yeh she's not on AIM much is she
I always speak to her on the board so she is on that a lot
Angie:
ik she likes kenny
idk about kevin
Topaz:
Kenny is another one who ignored my messages on the board :/
I don't know what I've done haja
Angie:
i couldn't tell you lol
Topaz:
Haha*
Angie:
maybe they think if they become friends with you you'd vote for the other person at the end
Topaz:
Hahaha maybe
Angie:
thats the only clip I've seen of bb canada and i love it
Topaz:
If Kaitlin likes Kenny and Kenny clearly doesn't want to speak to me do u think it is dangerous telling her about it?
I can't believe u haven't seen bb canada
Angie:
i dont think so
it might be
and nope I've never had that much of an interest
I've heard good things though
Topaz:
Hmmm it's so dangerous setting up alliances cos u have to be so careful haha. It's so much easier on survivor doing it
Yeah it's great u shud watch
Angie:
i think we can trust her
if I'm talking to her later and it seems like it wouldnt be a good idea i won't bring it up
Topaz:
Ok sounds great. Well I think if we have me, you, Alex and Jee for now then we would be good! Then I think maybe add Kaitlin once we've spoke to her ,more?
I need to go to sleep now but speak to Alex about it too
And see what he says
Angie:
okay will do
