Welcome to your diary room, James!

This may be the most important place in the game. It's where you will vote and more importantly, talk to us! Feel free to divulge your darkest secrets, current strategies, alliances, and hell... just pure hatred for other players. You are the only player that can view this forum. Outside of Alumni and Hosts, it is completely private. We love getting the dirt and there are plenty of us here to ask you questions. As you can see, this thread is labeled "Episode 00". Each round (meaning challenges + eviction) we will start a new thread with the title of each episode. After every Eviction, a host will start a new thread asking you more questions. Again, this is your forum and you can feel free to start whatever topics or make whatever posts you like. We will be here to help you out, make you think, get you to talk, and really just lend an ear.

We take Diary Rooms seriously because we're genuinely interested in your story. We want to know everything you're thinking and more importantly, what you're feeling. Think of it as free therapy. We will be guiding you along the way and asking you questions, provoking thought and helping you think about things you otherwise might not have. We find that just talking through your situation can help you get a fresh perspective on things.

Beyond that, it's just fun. What's more fun is having a record of what you were thinking at different stages of the game, and being able to look back on that is priceless so take advantage of it!

Here is a practice mini-challenge for you to work on. It is a challenge that might appear once or twice throughout the season in a different form. While it will be easier to do in the actual challenge using a puzzle-builder, this will help you practice reposting images. Image posting is something that will pop up in multiple challenges and is a skill that you should perfect. Please refer to the guide in the Plasma Screen forum for detailed instructions on how to post images.

This particular challenge is a 4x4 16-piece puzzle. You must correctly unscramble the puzzle using the ORIGINAL image links. Meaning, you can't simply rearrange them in a photo editing program. You must use the original images by using the IMG tag. (more information on this in the camp how-to threads.

Good luck, please ask us for any help or further instructions :)


You will need to reply to this thread ahead of the season and sign the rules in order to avoid being replaced.

WHAT THE FUCK IS UP LURKERS!!!! I’M CRAZY FUCKING JAMES!!!! :zany: :crown:
I'VE GOT A KEY AND I'M IN THE ISOLATED HOUSE!!! FOOLS!!!


Let me hit you up with a pregame confessional so you know what I'm thinking before we get started. To start, I'm assuming you all can read my application so no need to rehash that here. But key stuff is I'm a 31 year old married lawyer who has never done a "true" ORG other than shit with my friends. I also know Steve Moses (kinda). I messaged him a few days ago to get tips for Isolated and he totally ghosted me mid conversation!!!

WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GO STEVEN!!!!!

It's ok, I got back at him by sending him a photo of Steve from BB20:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alright moving on from that nonsense, your obvious question at this point should be, "why the fuck should I give a shit about you?" And that's a good question, there's 20 (twenty!!?!) of us in the cast, and you lurkers are real humans (presumably) with shit to do and people to fuck. So why is watching me trying to find common ground with a bunch of gen-z discord gamers worth your while.

Well, to start, I'm taking this VERY FUCKING SERIOUSLY. Don't get me wrong, I want to have fun and hijinks and chaos (it's a game). And "Operation convince everyone to dislike posts instead of liking them" is still a thing! But I didn't spend the last month CONSUMING EVERY OUNCE OF ISO/STRANDED CONTENT to go home night one. That's right, I listened to all the podcasts on youtube. I read through a bunch of the forums (even before Poody's recent website redesign made the forums visible without knowing the url). I even read through ~50% of the challenge threads from the last 4 or 5 seasons. So, will all this preparation mean I'm about to fucking DERMINERT!!!!!!!!!!

No.... I could still suck very easily. But what it does mean is that I'm going to (hopefully) play this game like a Vet in a Noob's body. And I think that will serve me well.

Once I got through challenge threads, the bulk of my most recent game prep had been trying to figure out who were the most likely returnees and building dossiers (dosiers? dasiens creek?) on them. Now I get here and it seems like all 20 reps are new. That doesn't necessarily mean the players themselves are all new (see Iso4), but it does make it harder for me to know how to handle the players unless they are somehow forced to admit to their prior reps? But for your entertainment, here are some thoughts on who I thought would be returning:

Erik: I figured Erik was a shoe in after being a first-boot turned lovable-loser-lurker. Erik's bio seemed to indicate some random chaos-loving comedy like me. I figured approaching him right off the bat and saying something like "don't worry about first boot we're going deep this time together, you've got me" could work. Since a first boot's biggest fear has to be...being first boot again.

Reynold: An ass who thinks he's funny (that doesn't apply to me too...get that out of your head!). How to handle people like that is to....make him think I think he's funny! He also hated Garrett so noooo chaos talk around him.

Hope: Opinionated, young, and witty. Big on weed, which is not my thing (sorry!). Nothing wrong with her, I just don't see us clicking. Also says "epic" a lot. Best thing may be to act the old confused uncle and ask her to help me fit in. Make it seem like I need her.

Alexis: Fan favorite, gets along with the girls and the guys. Basically your ideal social player. I would want to get visibly close to her and hope her social influence keeps people off my back, while strategically keeping her at arms length so that I can have a true final 2 or 3 with someone else who is less of an ultimate threat to win.

.............................................................

OK, but since NONE OF THAT FUCKING PANNED OUT, let's move onto my current schemes/conspiracy theories:
  • The biggest one here derives from Poody ending the Tuamotus reunion by teasing that this season was going to be a unique lurker experience (or something like that). For all I know, all that means is he made the forums more user friendly or some shit...lame.
    BUT, I'm taking it to mean something else. I think there is going to be an America's (Lurkers') player this season. I think that you guys are going to have control over someone's game. And the good news for you is, I want to help you. I want America's player to survive. Why? Because it allows ME to play chaotically and blame everything on the America's player. In fact, there doesn't even NEED to be an America's player. I can just try to plant seeds so that everyone THINKS there's an America's player to give me cover to Hinky vote to my heart's content.
  • Second conspiracy... I think Renny is Poody's wife. All the other cast reps are from BB9US or BB7UK. So the inclusion of Renny from BB10 is intentional. Renny's also from Louisiana, like the Poodster, and they weren't exactly reluctant to be so on the nose last time when they made her Julie Berry. Not really sure what to do with this conspiracy. But it is one.
  • Finally, this is a scheme not a conspiracy (should I have made two separate lists?), I won't be telling anyone I am married or an attorney. I'm going to be recently divorced and working as an "associate media director" at a media company. I have clients in the media world , so I should be able to BS this. And recently divorced because (a) I've found that being married makes you less threatening and generally more warmly regarded by people, BUT (b) I want to be able to keep myself open to showmances and beneficial flirting. So vulnerable, recent divorcé it is.
Ok, that's it for me for now. More to come, Crazy James out!

Congratulations James!

The viewers have chosen you as one of two spies for this round. As Big Brother stated in the Welcome thread, you will be given a task to complete. How you play it is completely up to you. You might keep it a secret, you might use this to gain favor in the house. The options are endless.

Your task is simple. By 9:00:00 tonight, less than two hours time, Big Brother needs you to select a houseguest from your entrance group (in the welcome thread) to receive immunity from the round. You are not immune yourself but Big Brother trusts you to make a decision that will help your game going forward.

YOU MUST CHOOSE IN THIS THREAD by 9:00 who you would like to receive immunity.

You are allowed to tell anyone you wish about this task should you choose to.
