So I said I was going to do a Week 1 recap (and still might) but I'm lazy. (What else is new?) 
I really want to go UTR, because I feel after last week I got myself well connected in the game, so if I can disappear from the radar for a few weeks and get myself to Jury I can really turn my game on at that point. This twist complicates things with the power of transfer and I need to win the Veto this week to ensure Lori isn't playing me. A replacement nom for her HoH could be risky and I don't want to be a pawn.
Anyways, Lori and I are getting really close again now that I'm back from vacation. I was worried about her winning HoH after Jun left last week, but I think all is well right now. Nobody seems to suspect how tight we really are, except maybe Karen but I've casted some doubt in her mind as of late. We talked a lot last night about what our options are for the Dom/Amy vote, and it's a toss up - in her eyes. I'm keeping Amy no questions and I think it's better for us in the long run because Dom might be the only person who could group the two of us together. Plus Dom's a strong competitor, and he's playing UTR right now and nobody really recognizes it. What Lori doesn't know is that I have Amy in my corner. I hope Dom doesn't come off because Karen might go up, and oh my fuck that would be terrible.
On her noms I really tried to help her make the decision that was best for herself, not just because I want her in this game, but because I know if my intent with her HoH is to do what's best for her, it's going to keep us trusting one another in the long term. (Not like we won't but still) I'd prefer Braden to go right now because I think he's a bigger threat, and also kinda UTR, but we'll see. Josh is a whiny bitch, and he doesn't need to slide to finals again. (Which I know he's capable of)
The only other big thing of note right now is my awareness of Porsche. Now, I want Porsche in this game because she's a threat, that being said Porsche's social game is dangerous. What's even worse is nobody recognizes it. She reminds me of James, because she's a threat nobody ever wants to get rid of because she has like magical talking powers or something. Like seriously, I was talking with her last night and she knows just how to twist things the right way to make it sound like she's playing everything off cool. However I didn't really like catching her in a lie last night about the votes. I was kinda trying to open up to her a little bit by confirming I evicted Jun, and she knew just how to counteract me getting to trust her. I want her gone ASAP. She's going to get people wrapped around her finger sooner than later and unless I know she'll have my back 100%, (Which I doubt she will, I think it's pretty clear we're both on guard with each other) I want her gone now. That's way too dangerous in this game. Here's our convo before the votes and last night's convo:
Before votes:
I later sent a PM to Porsche confirming I heard Jun was after me when discussing votes
After votes:
Ok, so wait? Before the votes you fail to acknowledge Jun and I had pre-existing drama, but afterwards you acknowledge it and say you didn't know? Like that's really shady. She had to have known. Half the house told me about Jun targeting me, and we all know Porsche is well connected socially. We did go on to talk about Jason/Chima having some sort of deal possibly, but still. I'm not sure if Porsche is just opening up to working with me, or trying to play me in order to fish for information. You can't ever read that from Porsche and that's what's scary. Probably the biggest threat in the game right now imo. It's really difficult to say with her. All I know is that I'm on guard with her until I can know for a fact we can work together. I'm gonna need Lori to be a mediator in that department. I want to be on Porsche's side rather than her bad side, but that still doesn't mean I don't think she needs to go. She'll go really far if she isn't dealt with soon.

Not a lot, just trying to chat with people tonight
Not trying to truly campaign quite yet, since apparently target is Dom
So I wanna just be nice and personable
Rachel Plencner 10:30 pm
Chima made that public?
Rainmoondance 10:30 pm
No, it was what Jason told me
But I've talked to people and they seem to want me to stay so fingers crossed

That's way too dangerous in this game. Here's our convo before the votes and last night's convo:
Before votes:
Rachel Plencner (12:54:25 AM):I'm worried Jun is gonna turn into Jen because she hasn't exactly been friendly lately and that concerns me.
Rachel Plencner (12:54:41 AM):I havent gotten to speak with her yet, but I'd like to in order to clear the air
Porsche Briggs (12:55:43 AM):yeah I havent heard much from her either with her she could really go either way, quiet and UTR or the total other direction Porsche Briggs (12:57:03 AM):In BBR 10 making All Stars was her obsession and goal so what she will do in this game I really have no clue
Porsche Briggs (12:58:33 AM):But you dont need to worry because you are both on the naughty list :-P
Rachel Plencner (12:54:41 AM):I havent gotten to speak with her yet, but I'd like to in order to clear the air

I later sent a PM to Porsche confirming I heard Jun was after me when discussing votes
After votes:
Rachel Plencner (11:25:22 PM):I just wish Jun didn't come into the game targeting me, because had she not I would have kept her, and I think she deserved to be here more than Chima. I just couldnt get over her being so outright about that early on. I just really felt bad for her in retrospect. That was an awful way to leave.
Porsche Briggs (11:36:04 PM):I didnt know she was
Porsche Briggs (11:36:09 PM):she didnt even tell me that
Porsche Briggs (11:36:13 PM):are you sure?
Rachel Plencner (11:37:11 PM):I heard from a lot of people during HoH last week Jun was openly targeting, and dropping hints about targeting me. Porsche Briggs (11:37:50 PM):I am aware you guys have had ups and downs like Jun and I have also had but she didnt say anything to me about going after you which I would have thought she would if she was :-\
Porsche Briggs (11:38:25 PM):I heard things about various people also, I took some with a grain of salt others I put more into I think
Porsche Briggs (11:39:05 PM):she may have been though its possible I just would have thought she would have mentioned something to me even something small
Rachel Plencner (11:43:31 PM):I heard from a good few people she was coming after me, and I don't think anyone would fabricate it either given most of the Recycled people don't know much about our history. Which was why it floated in my head so much last week, because I didn't know when she made her case if she was being real with me given I had heard from quite a few people I was a target to her.
Porsche Briggs (11:43:54 PM):wonder why she didnt want me to know Porsche Briggs (11:44:03 PM):but I guess thats Jun
Porsche Briggs (11:44:35 PM):She seemed to be open on her feelings about many so why she didnt say anything about you is what I dont get
Porsche Briggs (11:44:46 PM):she doesnt hold back most times LOL
Rachel Plencner (11:46:09 PM):That's an eye raiser to me as well because I don't get why she wouldn't be honest with you about it if she was just being out right about it to everyone else.
Rachel Plencner (11:46:20 PM):lol yea, the convo I had with her the night she made her case was hilarious xD
Porsche Briggs (11:36:04 PM):I didnt know she was
Porsche Briggs (11:36:09 PM):she didnt even tell me that
Porsche Briggs (11:36:13 PM):are you sure?
Rachel Plencner (11:37:11 PM):I heard from a lot of people during HoH last week Jun was openly targeting, and dropping hints about targeting me.
