Oh. My. God. I cannot believe I was selected to partake in such a fantastic experience as Big Brother! And to top it all off, I get to make this incredible journey with my best friend, Elissa Slater. I met her at a Cauc-Asian Expecting Momma Mixer when she was up in Chicago one day, and we clicked instantly! If I need someone to talk to or to give advice, Elissa is my girl. She makes the whole being away from my family thing A LOT easier...though...I really really really miss my husband and my two little boys.
*sobs for close to ten minutes*
and this one time, when they were just learning how to walk my husband and I- oh, I have to hurry up? I'm sorry, I just get worked up sometimes...anyway.
Entering the Big Brother house absolutely took my breath away from me. The lavish modern living room, the extravagant and beautiful kitchen, all the cute little bedrooms! It was all so perfect. My bedroom picking strategy was to pick the biggest room available. That way, if the house chooses to split by bedroom lines, I'll have the upper hand. I'm really pleased with the Casino room, and actually really like everyone there so it's a total win for Helen Kim!
When I saw Gary, he looked strangely familiar...I know that I know him from casting, though he's persistent we never met before. The guy I knew from casting was a great friend of mine, so it's a little weird that Gary is trying to throw me off when I know it's obviously him. I mean, he's the only person alive that carries that much glitter around with them. I called him out on me knowing him but he kind of ignored me...so I guess I'll find out soon enough.
Elissa and I have been really trying to crank up our social game. So far, I really like Gina, Nick, and Dr. Will. Gary hasn't been responding to me since I called him out, Layla has been pretty nice but overall pretty bland, and Ivette had to leave just shortly after I messaged her. Oh well, I'm already used to being ignored in this house. From Peter originally not acknowledging the fact that I checked in, to Gary checking in to the bedroom shortly after I did and not adding my name to the list...I feel a true calling to my Asian culture by being quite the stealthy ninja. My great great great grandfather would definitely be proud, and I hope to use the flying under the radar strategy to make it far in this BB journey.
I'm going to go back to socializing and exploring the house, so I'll talk to you next time Big Brother!

Chima is certainly a character....yeah.
But honestly, she seems super sweet and I'd love to get to know her better. She likes to YELL A LOT, I can only compare her to Joe from Big Brother 14....but I think she has a genuine heart. I hope people won't target her just because of her confidence and loudness, but I suppose whatever takes the heat off of Elissa and I is a blessing.

Will needs to stop. He needs to put on some clothes and stop making me question my loyalty to my husband He is just so attractive, I could literally just salivate on his body... Oh God. I just said that in the diary room. This is going to get aired. I'M SORRY.

Part of my conversation with Layla...she's either just not interested or really boring in general. I'm going to go for the latter, because I believe I have A+ social skills. Gary Glitter basically confirming my suspicions of me knowing him. We're so crazy. Eric's such a sweetie! I really enjoyed talking to him I had a conversation with Peter, but most of it didn't save, but basically...it was boring and awkward. Dr. Will and I talked a bit before I was able to get on my computer and turn on AIM Chat Logging, and I really like this guy! Nick and I never really finished our conversation he was very interesting to talk to and was on par with my social speed, so I like him! Gina and I had a really long conversation when I was on my phone, but alas it's gone I really really like her though. Helen and Elissa being Helen and Elissa, basically. I started talking to Ivette when I was on my phone, but I caught her at a wrong time because she had to sign off at that moment. Janelle also messaged me, but I was offline and didn't catch her in time to initiate conversation. Basically, everyone that has not been mentioned, I have not talked to.

Oh! I almost forgot that Chima and I had a riveting PM discussion about how she should portray herself to other houseguests.
And that was the end of that. I really hope this girl gets on AIM soon, because god bless.

I'VE MADE CONTACT WITH CHIMA. EEEE.
I want to keep her safe, she's very entertaining and seems a bit outspoken.

I had an interesting conversation with Gary...
That kinda freaks me out. I'm trying to be as social as I can with everyone who's online, but by doing that it appears I'm also ignoring others in the process...ugh. Now I have to make an effort to focus and not ignore anybody, and when there's 10 people online talking to you, that can get quite difficult.

So Elissa and I have decided to try to get close to Nick and Sallie, since we both like the duo in general. Since Elissa really takes a liking to Sallie, I decided to try to get close to Nick, while also getting on Sallie's good side the best I can. They're a duo I'd like to work with because I don't think they would have as many connections as, say, Gary and Gina probably do.
I really like Nick, but he seems to get distracted as I do. Oh well!
Sallie <3 Loving her right now.

That awkward moment when I pretend to have a kernel stuck in my teeth to try to kick off my dream showmance with Dr. Will....
My grandma wasn't actually in the hospital, I just had a really stupid reason to poof and didn't want to tell him that.

Time for Helen's cast breakdown! Let's goooo. & Duo: These MILFs are gonna be final two. Helen: dis bitch is ferce Elissa: My total BFF. She introduced me to ORGs, and the only thing keeping us from working together in games is my paranoia of her screwing me over. However, this twist puts that to ease. I doubt she'd throw me under the bus...but you never know. & Duo: Very social, very smart, very charming, very dangerous. Gary: I've known Gary longer than I've known Elissa, though we haven't really been as close. He's a very social and funny person that I might be able to manipulate, but it depends on how loyal he is to his mysterious partner... Gina: I don't know who this is. Gary won't let me know and insists I don't know her, but from what I can tell, she's one of those players that will be a force to be reckoned with. I can tell she's already started building relationships and making connections, so she's someone I really have to watch out for. I also need to be more aware of our conversations so I can get on her good side. & Duo: Doofus and the Brain Boogie: He's nice, but he's not really that intelligent. He didn't know what a misogynist was and listed Aaryn and Jeremy as his favorite players this season...yeah. I hope he's not as ignorant as he comes off, but he seems to be the half of the duo that isn't holding their weight. Will: My showmance <3 Will and I see eye to eye on a lot of stuff and I can see him making it far in this game. As long as he stays on my good side & Duo: Strong chance of approaching them for an alliance, two lovely people! Nick: The one I was assigned to, I'm trying to bond with Nick as much as possible. Thankfully he didn't ignore me, as he later said his internet was cut out, and now we're just talking freely with each other which is a really good thing. Sallie: Really nice girl, I'm glad she's paired with Nick because I love the both of them. & Duo: Nice people, but I'm interested in seeing how well they'll do having never met prior to this. Ivette: I felt kind of bad when I first talked to her. She had to leave early and acknowledged the fact I was mobile before I even told her, so I thought to myself, "oh god Helen everyone hates you because you can't have a proper conversation you're going home first." But after I got my computer, I really liked the girl! She told me the gripping story of how she raced across the city to find the things she forgot on a drunken night and we just talked about Big Brother and the feeds and she was very natural, which is a good thing. Janelle: Janelle seems sweet, but she honestly has yet to leave a strong impression on me. & Duo: Hot mess alert! I love them though <3 Eric: We had a nice chat last night, we talked about how he went to the One Direction concert (something I could care less about) and how we live sort of near each other. Will is already complaining about his activity, which isn't a good thing :/ Chima: CHIMA <3333 My girl! I love this chick. She always types in all caps but she has hilarious one liners that wouldn't be funny if it wasn't said in all caps. I'm trying to get on her good side because I don't think a lot of people are willing to give her a chance, and she may end up being a nice ally. & Duo: A bit boring, not very active, and they don't know each other...not a good combo! Sam: I don't remember if I've even talked to him, honestly. He's either inactive or he made absolutely no impression on me whatsoever. Layla: She seems nice but she's really, really boring. I can tell she doesn't really want to talk to me, so I won't make too big of an effort on trying to communicate with her. & Duo: Please self evict. Alec: Hasn't been online at all. Why are you even here if you won't be active? Peter: I talked to him last night, and our conversation was more awkward and grueling than the four word chats you always have with that annoying girl on facebook. I've tried messaging him today, but he hasn't responded, and I think he's always online. So, you know...I won't even bother.

I planted the seed of my plan in Gary's head. I'd love to have a group of singular players who will keep each other safe in the event of their duo being nominated. It's the perfect plan, but most people honestly won't be too thrilled with the idea of throwing their partner under the bus, especially this early. I trust Gary and I know he won't tell Gina, but I have to start making a lot of friends to pull this off.

Going into the Have Not comp...I was NOT secure in my answers whatsoever. I was absolutely sure I was going to be a Have Not and not be able to compete in the Head of Household tonight. You should have seen the look on my face when I realized that not only was I a Have for the week, but I also got second place in the competition AND got favorable first impressions ratings! Elissa and I were the top two choices for most naive, which isn't exactly a bad thing on our part. People will believe that we can be easily manipulated, whereas in actuality I have no doubt we'll be cutting throats later on. I told Gary that I don't really care if Elissa gets evicted, but I'll most certainly be doing everything in my power to keep her around for as long as possible. Nobody thought I was annoying, people thought I was easy to talk to and entertaining...all in all, a successful first Have Not competition!
I was going to study trivia from BBUS, BBUK, BBAUS, AND BBCAN, but I realized I don't have the time or attention span to get as much info as I'm going to need. I'm going to keep pages of trivia open, get ready to ctrl+f, and hope for the best. I think I've made enough connections to go far in this mini, and even if I don't win, I really think I'll have enough support to keep off the block, or at the very least survive an eviction. I am going to try to win HoH so I can start making some official deals, but if I don't win it won't be that big of a deal.

This is Big Brother. Helen, please go to the Diary Room.
Big Brother Helen, what were you thinking when Peter first started acting strange at the HoH competition? 12:08 AMHelen (BBCharm) When Peter brought up how Big Brother "messed up" in the PoV results, I was laughing under my breath. He got on my nerves from day one, and I was glad to see that he was as big of an idiot as I first assumed he was. Of course, when Nick called him out I started laughing so hard because Will was just telling me previously about how Peter had asked him for an alliance day one. 12:08 AMHelen (BBCharm) not PoV 12:08 AMHelen (BBCharm) Have Not 12:08 AMHelen (BBCharm) sorry 12:10 AMBig Brother After storming in and out of the backyard a couple times, Peter decided to quit the game. What was your reaction to that? 12:13 AMHelen (BBCharm) When he first said he was dropping out I thought he was just being a baby and trying to get attention. I knew that everyone was ganging up on him very harshly, with Nick posting screenshots of him cheating and asking for an alliance day one and everyone else being pretty rude to him. I was trying to stay out of it for the most part but I mean he was a total idiot who would ignore me when I tried to talk to him. I think that quitting was a really cheap thing to do, both for himself and his partner Alec. Alec has a huge target on his back as a result of his partner being a baby. 12:14 AMBig Brother With Peter gone, the HoH comp then continued. What were your thoughts going into the comp? Did you want to win? 12:19 AMHelen (BBCharm) I really did want to win that competition, especially after Elissa volunteered to be first gone and then messaged me shortly after telling me that I need to try to win it. I formed an alliance with Nick for the mini, since Sallie was not there and Elissa was the first gone. When Janelle became HoH, I asked her to keep me safe, even before Elissa volunteered to go. Then, the next round, when I won the HoH, I nominated Janelle and Ivette since they were the duo I was least closest to and they both did well in the first round of the competition. Janelle was way pissed at me after that, but thankfully I was able to work with Gary, Gina and Nick and make it to the final four. In my mind, the only situation I could think of not making it to the final two was if Gary or Gina won the final HoH, and when Nick took himself off the block at final four I was super happy that I was practically guaranteed final two. And then, the bastard turned on me and voted to evict me! I was super pissed at that moment, and it still kind of bugs me that he didn't take me farther than that, but I know that I'm safe this round and I don't even have the target on my back from winning the HoH. 12:21 AMBig Brother Why do you think Elissa volunteered to go first? Did that bother you at all that your partner didn't try to win HoH? 12:23 AMHelen (BBCharm) One of things that I love and hate about Elissa is that she's completely unpredictable. When she volunteered to go first I thought, okay, she probably doesn't want the target on our backs, I can live with that. But it surprised me when she then whispered to me to try to win it. I still don't really understand her reasoning for it, but I knew that I had to prove myself in that competition and I think I did pretty well. 12:25 AMBig Brother Are you worried anything you did in the HoH comp might come back to bite you, such as nominating Janelle as you mentioned? 12:27 AMHelen (BBCharm) I've been a bit weary when I've been talking to Janelle as of late. I don't want her to get the wrong idea; I just wanted to make it far in the HoH without getting a lot of blood on my hands and nominating her was my best option. In actuality, I didn't make a deal with her, but I understood why she was upset. I don't think it really made a lasting impression though because our recent conversations have been nice but of course I have to keep an eye on her. I'm not going to overanalyze the HoH like Boogie was doing. 12:29 AMBig Brother When you say overanalyize the HoH like Boogie was doing, what exactly do you mean by that? 12:33 AMHelen (BBCharm) Boogie came to me after the competition and immediately claimed that we needed to work together. I, of course, accepted and told him everything he wanted to hear. He said that he learned a lot throughout the competition and gave me a long list of things he found out. I don't remember most of it, because honestly a lot of it was just bullshit, but he said that Nick and Sallie must have a final four with Gary and Gina and that Gary and Gina are out to get him. He told me that he thinks that Gina made Gary vote him out of the Head of Household, when in actuality I told Gary to vote for Boogie since I had a deal with Nick. But Boogie doesn't need to know that ;-) 12:36 AMBig Brother Earlier you mentioned being a little bit annoyed that Nick voted you out of the HoH competition. How do you feel now that he's HoH? Have you talked to him about how you feel? 12:38 AMHelen (BBCharm) When he evicted me I kind of blew up on him in private, but covered it by saying I was just kidding to cover myself. I'm glad he won HoH, since I have been working on him since day one as Elissa wanted me to. I kind of wish he didn't win the HoH, since asking him for an alliance now would seem like a half-assed attempt at trying to save myself, but Elissa and I still want to work with him and Sallie so hopefully no ass-kissers beat me to it! 12:39 AMBig Brother So now that Nick is HoH and he has no restrictions this week in regards to the partners twist, who do you expect to see up on the block tomorrow? 12:40 AMHelen (BBCharm) To my dismay, I expect Chima to be up on the block since she seemed to have gotten into it with Nick's partner, Sallie. I've been kind of subtly dropping hints to Nick that I really want Alec out of the house, so if all goes well the nominees should be Chima and Alec. 12:42 AMBig Brother And, ultimately, who would you like to see walking out the front door this week? 12:42 AMHelen (BBCharm) Alec. It would make the following weeks so much easier if we just act like Peter's meltdown didn't happen. They would have been the first two gone regardless. 12:44 AMBig Brother Is there anything else you'd like to discuss with Big Brother? 12:44 AMHelen (BBCharm) I think that's fine! 12:44 AMHelen (BBCharm) Thanks Big Brother! 12:44 AMBig Brother Thank you Helen. The Diary Room Door is now open.

This vote is a no-brainer.
I vote to evict Alec.
I'm voting for Alec because it's the easiest and best thing to do this week. I've had little social interaction with him, he hasn't made an effort to campaign or even save himself with the veto, and his partner's little meltdown has made him blood in the water.
Good-bye messages time!
Alec, you're probably going to blame Peter for your eviction, but in reality you only have yourself to blame. You haven't been active, you haven't competed in ANY of the competitions this week, and I don't think you deserve to be here over Layla.
Layla, if you're reading this, I have no idea what the hell happened. I'm going to guess that people wanted to take you out for being a bigger threat and inactive Alec, but you definitely deserve to be here over him. So, I'm sorry.
