Episode 5

[Big Brother]

Episode 5: "This game will be one to DIE for. Literally."

Last week, Makosi had won HoH and placed Billi and Kaysar on the block. Then, Imogen and JJ constructed a plan to save Billi, who they knew would target Makosi. It was time to see if the eviction went as planned...

Bianca: Big Brother house, this is Bianca. The votes have been counted and verified, and I can now reveal that... by a vote of 5 to 1... the fourth person to be evicted from the BBCurve house is... Kaysar! Kaysar, it's now time to say your goodbyes. I'm coming to get you!

~Makosi Musambasi~
So Kaysar was evicted 5-1 and I'm sitting here thinking... WHAT THE HELL? Does no one respect my wishes as HoH to get Billi out? He's STILL here and it's like a tumor. It's fatal, and it will kill you but it does NOTHING except sit there, and you slowly die because of it.

My hate for Billi is justified. He REALLY does nothing in this game, I cannot imagine a more boring human. That's what bothers me the most about someone. If you're a terrible person and irritating as hell, I can handle that and usually enjoy that. Boring people just suck the life out of everything and do nothing at all except waste up space.

If Billi wins HoH, I'm going to cringe. He will nominate me because I am who he wishes to be. I am a threat. I came here to win. I'm a sole survivor. I'm the soldier sister. I am the bead to your necklace. I am the fabric to your design. I am Makosi.

The plan of the secret alliance of four (Imogen, JJ, Jessica and Dino) had been a success. But the plan had mainly benefited Billi's secret final two partner, Imogen. Dino, on the other hand, was less confident in the surviving nominee, but very confident in his alliance.

~Dino Delic~
Kaysar leaving really did nothing for the house so we're pretty much still at a blank slate. I feel like JJ/Imogen/Jessica/Me are like Lane/Matt/Hayden/Enzo, except we don't have specific roles in the alliance, we're just an unknown alliance that's waiting to make it to the end. But woteva! We're gonna win. ^___^

Our alliance is doing superb and I'm really proud of each and every one of us. <3 I love JJ, Jessica, and Imogen! :]

I wanna see anyone from our alliance win HoH; it shouldn't be too hard, I mean there will be four of us competing, against Billi/Lori, who are probably after each other xD lmao. Yay! I'd hate to see Billi/Lori win. Especially Billi.

Unfortunately, Lori and Makosi's chances for survival were even further diminished by the fact that neither of them realized the entire house was against them. Lori falsely believed that she had Billi on her side, and was part of a girls alliance with Makosi, Imogen and Jessica.

~Lori Valenti~
Well evictions are over and Kaysar is history....woohooo!! He thought he'd just pass by...bump that only I get that privilege. So we are down 4 guys and 4 girls....

Thinks are starting to worry me just a tad, I know for a fact Makosi and I are good, Jessica and Imogen worry me a bit I know Jessica and Dino talk and I know Imogen and JJ talk....if they decide to spill the beans I could be the next one up if a boy wins the HoH.

Right now, were it up to me, I'd want Billi to win HoH.....I would talk him out of putting up Makosi, and push JJ and Dan possibly. Were I to win HoH I would probably put up JJ/Dan and POSSIBLY backdoor option Dino. Not sure yet, it's crazy as hell.

I want all the boys out of here but I am want to have the least amount of blood on my hands.

I wouldn't mind winning the next HoH. But we'll see.

THIS IS LORI, SIGNING OFF.

*FLASHES BOOBS*

BOOB POWER!!!!!!!

Unbeknownst to Lori, Billi's closest ally was actually Imogen. However, despite wanting to go to the end with Imogen, Billi knew he would have to take out some of her other allies before the outsiders.

~Billi Bhatti~
As far as alliances go, me and Imogen are still stuck together like glue, the road has been laid for us to walk to the final 2 in this game if we can just get one or two small breaks here or there. I don't mean to sound cocky or anything, but if I had to bet my life savings on two people making it to the end of the game at this point it would be me and Imogen. I know for a fact that Imogen can turn it up when she needs to and its getting to the point now where we can start racking up victories as a team and take this game by the balls.

Ideally I would love to win the next HOH and take a chunk out of this whole, Dino, JJ, Jessica alliance. Because I know that once Lori and Makosi are gone, I'll probably be the number one target and even Imogen won't be able to protect me if one of those three win HOH.

By far the most powerful person in this game right now other than Imogen is Dino, he's got the challenge wins and the numbers to threaten my longterm gameplay, I don't have anything against him personally but the bitch has to go.

Billi's duplicity was not the only thing Lori had to be worried about. Many housemates were getting annoyed by her constant paranoia. Even Dan, who was not yet aligned with anyone in the game, commented on his dislike for her.

~Dan Gheesling~
Lori is SO ANNOYING.

Every fucking day she asks who I'm going to put up and every time I dodge the question. Bitch stfu I'm not going to tell you, and it doesn't matter who I would put up because I'm not going to win fucking HOH.

I asked Mr. Dino about the same thing and he said Lori asks him too. OMG +___+

I'm sure everyone is going to put up Lori b/c she's such a pain in the fucking ass.

I'm afraid of what she's going to say to me every fucking 5 minutes. OMG SHUT UP!

It was time for a new HoH to be crowned. The competition was called Diary Room Duel. In each round, two housemates faced off, and a quote that was said in the Diary Room by one of the evicted housemates was read. The first person to buzz in got to answer. If they were correct, they eliminated their opponent and got to choose the next two housemates to compete. But if incorrect, they would be eliminated, and their opponent would get to choose the next two to compete. Before the competition begins, Lori went on a rampage, and attempted to make deals with everyone in order to prevent herself from ever being put up in the competition.

Billi: I don't think Lori is as down with the girls alliance as we think.
Imogen: Yeah, she is full of shit.
Billi: She told me if I get to pick, I should put up Dino vs either you or JJ.
Imogen: What a little ho bag. I can't wait to evict her. Can it please be this round?
Billi: We need to try to get Makosi this round just from the standpoint that she wins challenges.
Imogen: I know... sigh. Lori is going to be sooo annoying each and every round.

Lori then tries to tell Imogen what to do...

Lori: What we're going to do is just keep picking the boys. Start with strongest to weakest: Dino, Billi, Dan, JJ.
Imogen: Okay.

...and Dino...

Lori: Hey, so who are we going after first? Should I pick you so it doesn't look rigged?

...which quickly gets her caught.

Imogen: She is for reals the new Dana. Ugh she drives me crazy.
Dino: Me too, she is so fake.

Ultimately, Lori's plan to never get put up in the competition fails, but she does manage to win two rounds, thus earning her a place in the final round against Dino. However, Dino answers with the correct answer first, and therefore becomes the new Head of Household.

~JJ Bird~
So despite me having a genuine feeling that I'd win HOH... I didn't. Whilst I was a little gutted to say the least, the eventual winner fills me with 'some' joy. It's easily the best result out of HOH since...forever. Me and Dino are quite close so for him to win means he will most likely keep me safe and allow me to sail on to another week. HOH was interesting, I got through, by Jessica guessing wrong. Then put Lori/Billi up only for the Billi to lose and allow Lori to get through. She then made it to the final head-to-head with Dino and I swear, I'm not even lying, my heart sank. Just the sheer idea of Lori winning fills me with much dismay, it would have been the worst feeling ever.

She does truly SUCK! if Makosi wasn't such a threat I would easily want Lori to fall under the bus! That should be the ultimate aim, I need to talk to Dino to see where his mind is at and see if I can sway it. I mean Lori annoys him like hell... as she does with everyone, so I imagine she'll be one of his prime targets.

~Imogen Thomas~
OMG YESSSSSSSS FUCK YESSSSSSS Dino won HOH and Lori got second place in the HOH competition. That bitch was denied! And especially after she was working everyone, trying to get everyone to put up each other for the HOH comp and not her. She almost won, but no ma'am! I hate Lori more than I've hated anyone in a long, long time. She is so blatantly seven-faced it's ridiculous.

Imogen: YOU ARE MY FUCKING HERO! My heart is still going...
Dino: Mine too. Yay!
Imogen: I can't believe our foursome is one step closer to final four! How long do you think it will be before Lori goes into full panic mode?
Dino: Immediately.
Imogen: Oh gosh. So what are you thinking about noms?
Dino: I have no idea... All I know is that you, Jess and JJ are safe.
Imogen: Well I don't want to push you one way or another, but I have thoughts about it all which you are more than welcome to take or leave or not hear at all.
Dino: It's alright. I'd love to hear them.
Imogen: I honestly think it should be Dan/Lori with the really tempting option to backdoor Makosi so she can't win veto. And if she does win veto to keep it at Dan/Lori, we at least get one of them out and that keeps Makosi vs Billi at each other's throats.
Dino: That's true, but I could see Makosi saving Lori to get Billi up.
Imogen: Yeah, likely. Lori vs Makosi then? So we at least get one of them?
Dino: That's what I was thinking. And then they will think it's a guys vs girls thing.
Imogen: I really think you'd be a hero to the rest of the house by getting one of them out. Cause it isn't guys vs girls, it's really all of us vs Lori and Makosi.

~Imogen Thomas~
I think I managed to keep Billi safe and me and Dino decided that he should nominate Lori/Makosi. I originally suggested Lori/Dan to backdoor Makosi, but Dino wisely pointed out that Makosi could win veto and save Lori, saving them both for the week. At least this way, Lori vs. Makosi should ultimately get rid of one of them. That has to happen.

Lori, to no surprise, was paranoid as ever. She goes up to the HoH room and rings the doorbell, at first to no response.

Lori: Are you still going to talk to me? ...Hello?

After a few minutes, Dino finally opens the door.

Lori: I'm like he won HoH and forgot me. Hehe. This was a huge HoH to win, it would've made my job easy.
Dino: Haha, job?
Lori: Yeah, in choosing noms. Dan doesn't even try in competitions. So am I safe?
Dino: Yeah! I don't want you to go home at all. I don't know what to do yet though.
Lori: God I was worried. I was like he's gonna hate me...

Trying to gauge each member that is not part of his alliance, Dino tells Dan that Lori suggested he be nominated, to which Dan is not surprised.

Dan: I've never seen someone so nervous about a game. Where do you think the game is headed? I'm not trying to get info or anything, I'm just curious as to like what the future holds. I feel like people think I'm a floater or something?
Dino: Hahaha I have no idea. I think pretty much everyone is just floating. Except for Lori and Makosi really, I think they are a pair.

Makosi, who had already been nominated three previous times, knew that she could potentially be in danger again and was rightfully worried.

~Makosi Musambasi~
So Dino won HoH. This isn't the best case scenario for the girls, but do I think I will get nominated by Dino? Personally, I hope not but I don't know. The shenanigans Lori and I pulled last week may leave me in hot water. I knew that this would happen sooner or later where I became too big of a threat to avoid the block... it happened in week one. If I can make it through this week, I'll be PROUD.

Makosi tries to talk to Dino, but it doesn't go so well.

Makosi: Congrats on HoH! Bout time you won it!
Dino: My thoughts exactly, hahaha.
Makosi: Who do you think is gonna go up?

Apparently too nervous to tell Makosi she is in consideration, Dino simply leaves without answering.

~Makosi Musambasi~
FUCK DINO. He's not a MAN. If he wants to nominate me, he should have the NERVE to tell me to my fucking face. He's pushed this faux-friendship for 5 weeks now and he doesn't have the decency to tell ME who's going up? Screw him! He's an ass.

When he nominates me, and gives a bullcrap speech, you better BELIEVE I'll castrate him at the scene. He isn't using his balls, so why have them! He puts the COW in coward, best believe it.

Makosi vents her frustrations and fears to her closest friend and ally, Lori.

Makosi: I think I'm going up.
Lori: I have no idea who's going up. I was trying to push on Dan.
Makosi: It's definitely me. I'm one of them.
Lori: I kept on telling him that it's dangerous to put you up cause you could win PoV.
Makosi: So I'm gonna get backdoored.
Lori: No, here's the thing. I'm hoping he listens to me. If he doesn't put you on the block, that's good. There are only eight people left and the chances of you not playing veto are VERY slim.
Makosi: When I was talking to Dino earlier, he was very unresponsive, and we're usually friends.
Lori: I dunno why he wouldn't put up Dan. That's an easy out.
Makosi: I hope so.
Lori: I hope he doesn't put you up. If he does though remember you have me, Jess and Imogen.

~Makosi Musambasi~
Dino's an idiot. He should WANT to keep me around because I am a threat. If I go this week, he's going to be walking RIGHT out the door because he's won the same amout of competitions. It's really bad strategy 101 because Dino only went after me because he's FLAKEY as hell. He's a floater. Everyone here's a floater. No one has any game. I'm on another level when it comes to this game and competition. It's from another realm. Naturally people are envious of my bohemian talents.

Right before the nomination ceremony, Dino goes over his options a final time with one of his close allies, JJ.

~Dino Delic~
I think I'm going to nominate Lori/Makosi & target Makosi... idk yet tho! Gotta tak to JJ.

JJ: Well I was going to put Lori up and to save the brunt of her annoyance tell her she's a pawn. I mean you have no obligation to keep Makosi around. She's an obvious threat. Let them fight it out, and if one of them wins PoV, then slam Billi in. Or Billi vs Lori and then backdoor Makosi... that's an idea.
Dino: I considered that one as well but I feared Makosi winning PoV and saving Lori.
JJ: That's IF she can even play for PoV. It's a tricky one... What about Dan vs Billi? Don't let Lori and Makosi think otherwise. Whoever wins PoV, explain that you'd want one person off.
Dino: That's what Lori is trying to get me to do! I just realized both Lori/Makosi could win veto if we do Dan/Billi. Then they'd leave the nominations the same. It all comes back to nominating them together I guess.
JJ: Yeah that's the only way to make sure ONE of them leaves.

~Dino Delic~
Okay yea my alliance seemed to think that's the best, too. yay ^_^ We're all on the same page <3

~JJ Bird~
So Dino told us, the four person alliance members, that he will be nominating Makosi and Lori ... not going to lie, after going through all the options this is the ONLY option to ensure at least ONE of these two leaves this week. Good times.

Our resident lunatic, Lori, is by far the most annoying housemate in the game so far. If she isn't trying to falsely predict an 'All Male Alliance' then she is running to each and every person and going 'We should take so and so out of the HOH tonight'. She is just an awful, awful player. She winds me up more than anyone else and she is just painful to endure. I find her unbearable I really do. She yaps on and on and on and her style of speaking to people is so disrespecting that it's laughable. If Makosi saves herself this week Lori should 100% go, I would push for her to go this week if Makosi wasn't such a wizz with challenges. Lori does need to go though, she came too close to winning HOH.

At the nomination ceremony, Dino follows in line with his original plan.

Dino: Our nominees this week are obviously Lori and Makosi. I'll start with Makosi, this is nothing but respect. You're a huge competitor in this game and have kicked ass in so many competitions. If you haven't won them, then you've come as runner up in them. Towards the end of the game, it's always risky to have a competitor like that in the game, when all it takes is a couple competition wins to make it to the final two. Now, Lori, nominating you was so much harder, believe me. I like you as a person (without the game). You're very hard to predict and hard to pinpoint, because you may tell me one thing, but you tell each person a new story so I can never be sure of where your head is at. Another thing is that I'm afraid you may have saved Makosi with the veto, and that's not helping me either. I'm sorry I had to do this, I hope you can understand. :\ Good luck to both of the nominees! This meeting is adjourned.

This marked Makosi's fourth nomination, and she was none too pleased.

~Makosi Musambasi~
I'm not gonna bite my tongue anymore. I'm the target this week, I'll go no matter what I do so I might as well speak my mind and shit is going to hit the fan. Dino will be dead.

Makosi and Dino begin arguing in the kitchen, and Dino ends up referencing the fake conversation Lori and Makosi had the previous week, in an attempt to worry him and make him try harder to win the veto.

Makosi: I've only won 2 vetos and 1 HoH, and they were for self-preservation. Last I checked, you've won the same. Maybe you shouldn't be pointing fingers at which people are threats when you're on the same level. But whatever, Dino, I know your TRUE colors now.
Dino: You actually pointed those fingers last week; I wasn't even thinking about it until then, so don't go & play all high and mighty with me, thank you! :] And no, you don't know my true colors.
Makosi: What the HELL are you talking about? I had no intention on nominating you last week. You KNEW who I wanted gone last week. I know about your true colors, Dino. Actions speak louder than words and your actions speak SO much to everyone. You can sit there and pretend you're everyone's friend but I see RIGHT through your act. It's malicious.
Dino: I said nothing about you nominating me, but last week you had said (and I quote) "there are stronger competitors out there more of a threat." I'm not an idiot, nor am I oblivious to your actions either. Also, I'm not everyone's friend, despite what you think of me, I'm not everyone's friend. I just hardly spoke to you and I'm sorry if you feel like that constitutes me being friends with everyone else.
Makosi: WHEN THE HELL DID I SAY THAT? WE *NEVER* HAD THIS CONVERSATION DINO. STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH. Dino you may believe what you're saying is true, but DOES THE WORLD BELIEVE IT? I don't think so. You're a LIAR. You lied STRAIGHT through your teeth tonight. My whole prerogative last week WAS to get Billi out of the house. What the hell are you talking about saying I was going for big threats? If we NEVER talk then what the HELL are you basing this on? Don't give me that bullshit. I could slap you right now, didn't your mother tell you never to lie?

~Makosi Musambasi~
So I know exactly what conversation Dino is talking about, but that was just the staged convo that Lori and I had so he would give up everything for the veto (and it essentially worked) and he's trying to use it against me but my goal right now is to deny, deny, deny because going by his logic, it will make him look like a fool. The book Dino's been studying, I wrote the book on it, so he doesn't scare me. Tryna say I started this, like BOY, GET A CLUE.

Dino: You're deluded and a hypocrite. Now you're putting words in my mouth. I never said you told me that, which you didn't. I just happen to have heard the conversation you did say that in, though, and it wasn't a conversation with me. Also, nor did I say that you were coming after bigger threats, I'm just saying you considered it and/or simply mentioned it. I actually have not lied. :\ Sorry to disappoint you, I'm only telling you what I heard. It's a fair warning, I suppose. And my mother doesn't need to be brought into this discussion, honestly...
Makosi: SO YOU'RE GOING OFF HERESAY? If I didn't DIRECTLY tell you something how in the HELL can you believe it to be true? If you're basing OUR friendship off something that someone else said, then you're just not a good friend. I was here for you Dino. I held your hand, I walked you across the street and you're denying it ALL. We had something... we did! You are lying to your heart. You are lying to your soul. You may not see it now, you may not see it in a million years from now but you are! If you honestly thought that I was specifically targeting you, specifically, I mean SPECIFICALLY AS IN SAYING "I WANT DINO OUT" then I misjudged you. I thought you were smarter than that to go and base your life on heresay. Guess you aren't as smart as I gave you credit for.
Dino: Yes I'm going off of hearsay, cuz the last time we spoke was week one, aside from the day after I won HOH. That's ALL I have to base our "friendship" on. I liked you at the beginning and I felt bad you kept getting targeted. And I don't think anything about this game is lying to my heart/soul, nor am I basing my "life" on hearsay. This is just a game, wake up and smell the coffee. And I never said you were targeting me specifically. I had a decision to make and I'm sorry you didn't like it, but you shouldn't be complaining when the last time we spoke in depth was in week one/two/whatever. How am I supposed to feel safe with someone I hardly talk to? Lori on the other hand, we talk all the time and I've liked you, but how am I supposed to feel safe with someone who tells everyone the same thing and has been lying to me since the beginning. You can deny it all you want but I know the truth. Nothing is distorted and I know the reality of this game 10x more than you.
Makosi: WE SPOKE LAST WEEK. There you go LYING again Dino, because we talked last week. We had a conversation! IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN A CONVERSATION DISCUSSING WORLD ISSUES SUCH AS WAR AND FAMINE BUT IT WAS A CONVERSATION! I just know what type of person you are Dino. You will throw your FRIENDS to the curb and deny the WHOLE friendship. IT'S LIKE I AM JESUS AND YOU ARE JUDAS. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS LIKE. This isn't just a game for me. Maybe I've been playing it wrong, or maybe I'm just HUMAN, but people in these games, I've MADE friendships with them. I don't go and throw them to the curb when I don't need them. It makes me believe you are a gamebot vile little monster Dino! You have everyone fooled with your glossy eyes and your darling smile but YOU are playing the game maliciously and that may be a successful way to play the game, but it is not a game I respect. One thing a gamebot can't detect is human emotion.

~Makosi Musambasi~
Time for psychological warfare to begin. I didn't want it to begin this early, but if I can get Dino to meltdown (and he's already beginning to meltdown) then I can say I truly won at life. Dino is an assclown. He belongs in the circus of reject humans because I can't imagine him being successful in any other aspects of life. Like really, what skills could he possibly hold that aren't terrible?

Makosi: Dino you were ALWAYS safe with me. Even if you 'claim' we didn't talk much, you KNEW who I wanted out of this house. YOU KNEW IT. DON'T SIT HERE AND DENY THAT YOU THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO NOMINATE YOU. I am the LAST person in this house that would've nominated you and if you don't believe that, then YOU just made a big mistake and I hope you can live with it. If I go this week, c'est la vie, but I want you know that I'll be here in disguise... setting booby traps, stalking, harrassing, crashing dates, intentionally trying to screw up over scheduled plans, hiring hit men, rat poisioning food and drink unsuspectedly, "accidental hit and runs", etc. All while being dressed as Carmen San Diego and you won't realize it's me who will be terrorizing you. So feel free to spill all your game plans to me. This game will be one to DIE for. Literally.
Imogen: Umm, these death threats make me uncomfortable.
Dino: Whatever Makosi, you're mentally unstable lmao. Talk to me when you can have a rational conversation.
Makosi: How can I be rational with you when you made irrational nominations? Something doesn't add up here.
JJ: I think everyone should just calm down. Just saying.
Makosi: JJ is right. Dino, you need to stop being so hostile and malevolent.

~Makosi Musambasi~
I am eyes that sing, smile that brightens, touch that rings, and supply euphoric release. I am a Grand Dame Queen Beast.

~Imogen Thomas~
Dino put up Lori and Makosi as planned. Score! He even used the exact same nomination speech that he ran by me first, so this gives me more confidence that Dino really is on my side (at least for the time being).

With so many distinct HOHs in this game, it's been a real challenge making sure that I'm in the good graces of each HOH enough that I am not a nominee or a potential replacement nominee. My strategy worked again this week and hopefully it'll keep working!

With Lori and Makosi on the block together, both nominees are as unhinged and paranoid as ever.

Makosi: I'm a mess right now.
JJ: Aww, why?
Makosi: Over this game.
JJ: Oh, don't take any notice. You're doing a good job.
Makosi: 8th Place isn't what I was striving for.
JJ: Well there's still a PoV, and who says you're going to leave?
Makosi: That's true.
JJ: Just stay positive and I'm sure you'll be fine.
Makosi: Thanks, JJ. I needed that.

~Makosi Musambasi~
He is SO voting to evict me. Forget JJ. He's a nerd.

~JJ Bird~
"You are lying to your heart. You are lying to your soul."

Those are the words echoing through my head based on yesterday's drama. What a joke, I can't put into words how much that made me laugh. Exaggeration is an understatement, hyperbole perhaps? Dino did the right thing, it was the only way to make sure that we got our desired outcome, which is Lori or Makosi getting evicted. This way, at least ONE of them will go because me, Imogen and Jessica are the voters.

At the PoV Drawings, Dan, Billi and Imogen are randomly selected to compete, making Jessica and JJ the only housemates ineligible to play for the PoV this week.

Before the PoV begins, Lori has a conversation with Imogen in which she hints at her suspicions of Imogen's betrayal.

Lori: Dino pretty much told me there is a rat in boob power, he knows way to much.....that sucks doesn't it. I told people, "do not trust dino", we have a solid pact and have numbers. But noooo. Someone has been feeding him alot of info and im sure will go and run to him about this too.... I wonder who the hell would do that, any ideas?
Imogen: If you're accusing me of something, get on with it. I don't appreciate passive aggressive shenanigans. Also, be very careful with how much trouble your paranoia is going to get you into. I also have heard plenty of rumors of you conspiring with other people, against me specifically, but I have chosen to give you the benefit of the doubt in those cases. I have already told you that I will be voting out Makosi this round since I will have to vote out one of BOOB POWER if the noms don't change, so it really hurts when you question my loyalty to you, even through subtle implication. I also find it funny that you tell me DON'T TRUST DINO!!!1!! Yet, you believe everything he tells you about some mole? Don't you see that he's trying to divide and conquer? And, with your paranoia as an assistant, it seems to be working.

Now completely unstable after he confrontation with Imogen, Lori goes to Dino and accuses him of cheating.

Lori: So if you win PoV, you're saving me right?
Dino: Haha.
Lori: Is that a yes?
Dino: I'm not winning veto.
Lori: Why not? I'm throwing it for you to win.
Dino: I'm a have not, of course I'm not winning.
Lori: That don't mean nothing. Maybe someone can sneak you some answers or you can sneak someone answers. Like... I don't know... Imogen for example? Or anyone?
Dino: You're a mess accusing others of cheating. This game isn't created for you to fly to the end.

The conversation then turns strangely personal.

Lori: Are you gay?
Dino: Pretty blunt, eh?
Lori: Well what the hell?
Dino: Honestly, I don't want to sound rude, but can we just drop it? Sorry.
Lori: How did you find out you were gay?

Lori becomes seemingly infatuated with Dino's sexuality.

~Lori Valenti~
Dino indirectly admitted he was gay; no joke. We were arguing and talking about "play on words" so I said so if I called you a fag I could be talkin about a cig. And he got all butt hurt and stormed off, then came back and said he misheard and thought I called him one for real. So then I asked "Are you gay?" He took forever to respond and then said no. But yeah, he's gay. No offense to gay people, I have friends and such who are gay. But yeah Dino is gay... for real.

Frustrated with her bad position in the game, Lori completely loses it, and starts yelling at Dino in the backyard for everyone to hear.

Lori: DINO IS A HOMO! HE ONLY BLOWS RANDOM JOES! HE LIKES TO TAKE IT IN THE ASS, HE GOES IN AND OUT REAL FAST! LIKES WHEN THE GUY JIZZES ON HIS FACE, OH HOW DINO LOVES THAT MAN JUICE TASTE! LOVES TO JACK OTHER COCKS, LIKES TO GET ANAL'D STRAIGHT OUT OF HIS SOCKS! DINO DINO DINO LOVES TO MAKE A PORNO, TAKE 10 DICKS, A GANGBANG....FUCKIN HOMO! THATS ALL FOR NOW "CIG"BOY, GO DO YOU DICK CALL SOMEONE HERE FOR DINO, A BIRD? A PLANE? NO RUPAUL! PS..FUN FACT... IN ENGLAND A CIGARETTE IS KNOWN AS A FAG = TRUTH.
Imogen: Making fun of gay people or demonizing people by calling them gay in a derogatory sense is what leads so many people to kill themselves. I don't think this is very funny, no matter who it is directed at.
Lori: I totally disagree...if someone wants to kill themself because they are gay, don't blame someone who called them gay...maybe they killed themself because they felt guilty...who knows...if Dino kills himself...meh...that's his problem...I will have felt 0 guilt.....another homosexual dead doesn't harm nor help me.

Lori's comments crossed a line, and she was called to the Diary Room to speak with the host, Bianca. However, she doesn't seem to get the message.

Bianca: Your last comments are passing the border on what you can say. Please cool it off a bit.
Lori: Which one?
Bianca: The thing about suicide and "another homosexual dead doesn't harm me."
Lori: I said it doesn't harm or help me. Cause IMOGEN was saying it makes people kill themselves. So I was saying my opinion.
Bianca: Either way, it was very much on the border.
Lori: Was what Imogen said on the border?
Bianca: No.
Lori: I was replying to what she said.
Bianca: The way you said it makes people feel uncomfortable, including viewers. It's a very touchy subject.
Lori: Wow, okay. I'll shut up.

But Lori did not shut up.

Lori: Ugh....tell Dino to grow a pair and come here himself....what a cigarette!
Dino: You mad?
Lori: After all this time THAT'S the best you can come up with......figures you would say that......drag your ass across a ground made of dicks.....HOMO. PS *LORI RUBS HER PERIOD BLOOD ALL OVER DINO'S CLOTHES AND TOOTHBRUSH*

At this point, the vast majority of the housemates were disgusted with Lori's behavior.

~Jessica Hughbanks~
I'm almost in tears, literally, over what Lori wrote about Dino's sexuality. You don't mess with my best friend E V E R. I don't give a fuck who you are. I wrote out a long counter-response to Lori, and I realized that it involved too many personal threats :x So I didn't post it ahaha. But I really wanted to. I hate her.

I also realize that it would ruin my game to get involved. I'm pretty sure she's going to end up going soon anyways, so I'll just wait it out. I hate her.

She's a bitch. I hate her.

OMFG. I hate her.

She's always been annoying, but it eats me up on the inside to know that she posted that. I hateeeeeeeeeeeeeee her.

I really hope neither her, nor Makosi won POV.

Dino: I'm not engaging in a pointless fight with you, Lori.
Whenever you decide to begin thinking/speaking rationally, let me know. Until then, good night!
Lori: Gonna go let that Bieber blowup doll have it in the hoh room huh? Grease up!! PS Other then me who else did you promise final 2 to, the whole house?? LMAO Go have your BieberFever.
JJ: I really think you have outdone yourself Lori. And please don't take that as a compliment. Your behaviour, values and beliefs have not only shocked me but really opened my eyes on what kind of person you are. If you think making fun of homosexuality or gay people is funny then you're more deluded then I first thought. The way you have shown yourself in a day or so is disgusting. At first you were annoying, as were many people, and now I have no respect left for you and I think you should seriously think long and hard at how appalling you are coming off. All your comments just point at how immature and childlike you must really be. Abuse directed towards someone's sexuality is just as bad as sexism, ageism and racism, so well done, for being moronic.
Lori: Look Dino's boyfriend has come to save the day......homo dos!
JJ: Carry on, and hopefully your fate will soon be sealed. I guess we should all be like you, with appalling game play which includes being shockingly stupid, unbelievably boring and be a natural butt kisser. A right role model you are.
Lori: And sucking cocks is a good example to set? Pffffft....go get anal'd.
JJ: It is laughable how much of a joke you are Lori. Other than you, nobody else is going anywhere.
Lori: After you remove your dick and balls from Dino's throat please have him fight his own battles. Thanks.
JJ: As soon as you get your tongue out of everyone's arse for longer than a day then I might consider it.
Lori: Don't swallow.

Lori's homophobic comments had affected the game on both a personal and strategic level, and each of the housemates struggled with how to now proceed in the game.

~JJ Bird~
Lori has outdone herself truly. One thing I’d like to make clear as I say this is that the way I feel or the level of my response has nothing to do with my friendship with Dino.

EVEN if Dan or Makosi were being attacked like that I would have spoken up. That is what surprises me the most about the people in this game. How more people have not spoken up and shut that girl's mouth is beyond me. The stuff being said is no different to if it was a direct sexist, ageist or racist remark so I can’t understand why more people have not shown their dislike for it. But hey, each to their own, I suppose if they don’t think it’s their beef to get involved in why would they bother?

I understand that I might be making a mountain out of a mole hill but that right now is irrelevant. I’m not asking for her to be banned, but a little bit of singling out for her comments wouldn’t have gone a miss.

The question remains this, this is a game and I’m here to play it. Yes I threatened her eventual departure by indicating to her that she will be out of the door if she does not win POV. But that isn’t strictly true. Makosi is still a bigger threat then her, so she will definitely be in the firing line IF the nominations stay the same. I’ve already said that a part of me wants one of them to win, so that the decision to evict is easier. Right now I wouldn’t mind evicting them both. Part of me would also like to see Makosi win so that Lori’s fate is sealed. Hurry up POV results, I’m intrigued.

~Makosi Musambasi~
Lori is melting down. She's accusing people of cheating, crying, calling people homosexual, threatening to quit, making DEEP personal attacks and literally combusting at the seems. This is PERFECT for me because I have kept my composure all week so people will want to evict Lori over me because she is insane.

My whole strategy right now is to be under the radar as possible. I hope to GOD people evict Lori because even though I'm her ally, I do not stand by her actions. If I am still evicted over her, well then everyone agrees with homophobia.

The only reason why Lori is acting like a huge psychomaniac is because she doesn't wanna play the game anymore and she wants out because things aren't going her way. She won't quit because she wants that spot on the jury.

I still want to play and I think if I get through this week, I can win an HoH and possibly get to the end. I want to be here which may be a reason why someone evicts me. I just hope that Lori's behavior sends her out the door. Maybe even... ejected?

But Makosi's hopes were unanswered, as it appeared that despite Lori's attacks, she was still the target.

~Imogen Thomas~
Um wow. All I can say about this week is that we've sure made up time for how boring the first few weeks were. Wow, did Lori take about 840302843 crazy pills and turn into an evil, homophobic demon. How is it that Billi isn't even in the top three of crazy / offensive houseguests? I almost wish Lori would get banished and Dana would end up on the jury. I know, I can't believe I said that either, but I wish it were true. It's crazy that as soon as Lori's back is really up against the wall, she flips out and goes full on psycho. And, interestingly, Makosi has gone completely radio silent for the past few days - maybe she thinks she'll be able to survive if Lori digs herself a giant grave. And, usually that would work, but the sane players in the house (me, JJ, Dino, Jessica, and Billi...who knows about invisible Dan) know that getting Makosi out is the smartest move gamewise so that any of the rest of us have a shot at winning key competitions in the future. Lori is going to be shocked when she's still here after this next eviction and the rest of us are hopefully going to go forward with a singular focus - get Lori out next. And if Lori wins the next HOH, we should all just mass quit because that is going to be an even more unbearable weak than this has been.

~Billi Bhatti~
Crazy ass Lori has officially fallen off her rocker. She's been teetering on the brink of sanity since I put Dana and Makosi up on the block together and she finally decided to hit the self destruction button this round.

This ended up working out perfectly for me, now Makosi and Lori are both high up on the hit list before anyone actually considers it's time to get rid of Billi. I swear to god I'm the only person on the planet that could play a game, win an HOH in the first 3 rounds and still be considered a boring floater.

But anyyyyyyways, if the nominations stay the same, I'm gonna fight like hell to keep Lori in the game, Makosi is a much stronger challenge player and the fact that Lori is FUCKING NUTS, keeps the target off of myself and that's absolutely fantastic.

Moving on to the PoV Competition, the housemates compete in a game called Aixelsyd. In each round, they are shown a word that it spelled backwards one letter at a time. They must identify the word using as few letters as possible. The competition isn't even close, as Imogen completely obliterates her opponents and wins the Power of Veto.

~Imogen Thomas~
YESSSSSSS I won POV and saved the house from the escape of Lori or Makosi! We needed a win like this to get Makosi out so the rest of us could win competitions whenever we want. My only other major competition threat after this will be Dino, but he's on my side for now.

I really think this week of Lori going crazy has really worked great to bond the rest of us (minus Dan and Jessica, who aren't really around much). I think that will work to our advantage next week when the nominations will almost certainly be Lori vs. Dan.

After all the drama of the week, Imogen wasted no time in announcing her veto decision. But before she does, Lori makes yet another speech.

Lori: What a fuckin joke, I said it from the beginning Imogen would win Veto, how did I know... I urge you guys to evict me PLEASE, evict me and keep Makosi in the game...PLEASE, I am a ass and talk crap etc etc..get rid of me or I will make everyone's life MISERBALE...Keep MAKOSI IN THIS GAME...KEEP HER IN THE GAME!! Let her do her thing...PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE.....I URGE YOU I WANT TO BE EVICTED, PLEASE SEND ME HOME....PLEASE...NO ONE VOTE FOR ME TO STAY...MAKE IT UNANIMOUS....PLEASE... I have been annoying all week, you want to shut me up? Then vote to evict me..it's the only way...if not prepare for another 3-4 days of this x10000. EVICT ME!
Imogen: I dedicate this veto win to everyone who isn't Lori or Makosi. I hope I speak for everyone legitimate in the house when I say the following words: I CHOOSE NOT TO USE THE POWER OF VETO.
Makosi: What did I ever do to you Imogen? Nothing. So please don't villify me.

~Makosi Musambasi~
I really can't stand Imogen now. I've done a completely 360 on her which makes me think that my basic instict was right. Imogen is just saying what she thinks everyone else wants to hear. She said she won the veto for everyone BUT Lori and myself but like, I never did ANYTHING to Imogen and she's acting like I'm JUST as bad as Lori. It must be a race issue because I never posted anything about Dino's sexuality or anyone's sexuality. If she thinks those death threats were serious, then she is stupid.

Imogen is sitting there with the veto acting like her shit don't stink. She obviously hasn't read the book EVERYBODY POOPS and because of that, she will never be happy.

It was then time to vote. The house had to decide whether it was more important to get out the bigger threat, or the bigger annoyance.

~JJ Bird~
The person I choose to evict from the BB Curve house is….

Makosi.

Let me start by saying that this is a vote to evict Makosi, NOT a vote to save Lori. This is a game and ultimately we are here to PLAY IT. We cannot play correctly if we play with our hearts on our sleeves. We have to use our brains and ultimately, Makosi is a MUCH bigger threat than Lori. Despite Lori’s crazy outburst this week, she still remains as one of the worst socially, and has yet to win a competition (yes I acknowledge that neither have I). We may never get this chance again, Makosi could fight us all out of the house, she’s too dangerous to keep around.

~Imogen Thomas~
Screw you Lori and screw you Makosi. Lori, you're lucky you aligned yourself with the only person people want out more than you. Makosi, you are lovely and endearing when you aren't crossing the line. You are too much of a challenge whore and I need to open up that pathway for myself.

I VOTE TO EVICT MAKOSI...and I hope Lori quits after Makosi is sent packing.

Dan, meanwhile, is left out of the loop on the plan to evict Makosi.

~Dan Gheesling~
Lori should be leaving and that meets the half way point of the game.

I vote to evict Lori.

That leaves the eviction in Billi's and Jessica's hands.

~Billi Bhatti~
I know Lori is going around begging people to vote her out, but I don't think she actually wants to go anywhere this round, and she knows she's going to stay. She just wants a free pass to be able to bash gay people some more and it is what it is. The more she runs her mouth, the more everyone else in the game stays oblivious to the fact that Imogen and are working together, so I'd like to keep Lori around at least one, maybe two more rounds. So with that being said.

I VOTE TO EVICT MAKOSI.

I MADE IT FURTHER THAN THE AFRICAN BITCH DOCTOR.

See you on the flip side you fucking cunt.

Jessica also votes to evict Makosi, making the decision near unanimous. Dino, while deeply hurt by Lori's attacks, knows that his alliance is making the smarter choice, but isn't too happy about it.

~Dino Delic~
Lori's staying this week. [Jessica, Imogen, JJ vs. Billi, Dan] probably. It's what has to happen if we wanna make it to the end. Makosi is a better player, unfortunately (obviously). But the thing is, the longer Lori is here, the more apt I am to quit. I've considered it several times already and I'm just hoping it's a waiting game, and Lori self-destructs first. Maybe she will even quit herself.

Bianca: Big Brother house, this is Bianca. The votes have been counted and verified, and I can now reveal that... by a vote of 4 to 1... the fifth person to be evicted from the BBCurve house is... Makosi! Makosi, it's now time to say your goodbyes. I'm coming to get you!

Of course, Lori and Makosi don't take the news quietly.

Lori: Horrible.
Makosi: IT JUST PROVES THAT BY EVICTING ME, YOU AGREE WITH HOMOPHOBIA. It's a shame we are in 2011 and still have people hating on the homos. Go Lori, Jessica, Dan, JJ, Billi! I made ZERO personal attacks to anyone. A black girl gets upset over the game and she gets evicted. A non-black girl makes personal attacks and she stays because you ALL are racist. Every last one of you (except whoever kept me. Thx!) I hope a cloverfield-like monster comes and CRASHES this house because y'all deserve it. But there goes the class in the house. I walk out with ALL the class. JJ, Dan, Imogen, Jessica. I NEVER DID ANYTHING TO ANY OF YALL. I hope you can sleep at night. I CRIED OVER THIS GAME. I PUT IN BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS TO STAY ALIVE. But apparently, you all don't admire a working class women. You coast during this whole game, then try getting my jury vote. But I will walk out with my DIGNITY. I am a proud player. I was a threat. My competitiveness was from a different REALM. It was on a whole 'notha level and you all couldn't withandle it. I needed 3 of y'alls back! 3 of y'alls! I had your backs when times got rough. But I guess because of my race, you think I'm gonna mug you.
Lori: This house is filled with racists! Just cause I am white they kept me...how sad!! You guys better PRAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I don't win HoH BECAUSE IT WILL BE ON.... ESPECIALLY FOR YOU DINO...AND YOU'RE A HAVE NOT THIS WEEK? MAKOSI I WILL AVENGE YOU GIRL....TRUST ME....JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL! What people don't realize...the outcasts in this game...You, Myself and ONE MORE....hold 3 out of the 7 jury votes in the house......LMAO, the Jury House will be filled with the ones everyone hate, but at the same time, we'll have all the fuckin control....
Imogen: It had nothing to do with race. Makosi is an amazing challenge threat that had to be stopped while Lori is a self-destructive animal. Trust me, Makosi, I wish we could have kept you instead of the vile thing that calls itself Lori.
Lori: Awww Imogen I was rooting for you too. If I win HoH, I wonder who I should put up next to Dino??
Dino: Lori, I appreciate the encouragement, and thank you for your words! But I do hope that you realize 3/7 votes is not "all control." But thanks nonetheless.
Lori: You better pray to god Imogen wins HoH fella...hahahaha!

An explosive week in the Big Brother Curve house had ended with Monsoon Makosi's departure. Now, only seven housemates remain. Will Lori's meltdown seal her fate as the next to go? Or will the game take an unexpected turn? The roller coaster ride had just begun.
