I thought this needed it's own thread, so people would see it and send questions or comments if they want. I don't know if James will make it here tonight or not, but Dcakes is the Admin for James' site. She asked him to come here and he is going to do his best to check in here sometime this evening/tonight. Here is a copy/paste of Dcakes post from the vote for James thread: Dcakes Member 07-28-2005 Wednesday, June 28, 2006 - 9:45 am FYI...if you have any questions for James you can send them to me and he can answer them for you. He said he was going to TRY to come here today and asked if I could get questions in advance that would help. You can send them to my email dkbcakes@hotmail.com or on my myspace http://www.myspace.com/brokenandblessed I can't make any promises because he has a Blood Drive today from 1pm-6pm Central Time so it would be after that if he comes on. He's also trying to get all of his personal stuff n order. But, he wants to do what he can as far as answering any questions.

James, this is what you have to do....Talk to Howie, Janelle and Kaysar. Each of you pick three people in the house, offer to form an alliance with them. That way you all have an in with every alliance in the beginning. The internet fans will be forever in your debt if you get rid of Cowboy immediately and Mike Boogie next. Dont trust Dani, Bunky, Lisa, Mike, Alison, Will, Marcellas, - They would sell you out in five seconds flat. Loyal players: Erika, Dana,

OK - this is for James: I know you said you and Howie are ticked at each other because he won't admit making a deal with Maggie, but aren't you guys adult enough to let something from a game go to work together to get ahead in the house?

Watching--I think Dcakes wants people to email the comments and questions to her at the email address above. That way he has them before he gets here. I think he's really pressed for time and this might help.

If voting is over tonight at midnight, does that mean that by tomorrow or Friday the ones going into the house, or all 20 of the wannago's will be disappearing from the public eye until the show starts next week?

It doesn't matter...you can post the questions here and he can look at them when he comes....IF he comes. I haven't talked to him yet so I don't know what his plans are for sure. FYI...I am ONE of the admins at James' site, but I'm not the head admin....just to clarify.

I wish I could recall who wrote that brilliant post about James that spoke about how his downfall was not being loyal to anyone. BB is not a game you can play by yourself and that poster completely nailed James, and I think it would by far be the best advice he could get. It's fun to watch stategies and making sub-alliances is ok too, but I truly think for James or anyone to have any long term success you HAVE to have a group to be truly loyal to and stick with. That or win the veto every week and come in a loser. Won't work. So my hope is James thinks about this cause I like him, he's fun, but to just cause hate isn't gonna get him far especially with this bunch. I also am concerned because he has a friendship with Ivette that will be his core alliance and I truly believe that's not gonna be strong enough to go far. Not to mention every time she says 'do you know what I mean/do you know what I'm saying" EVERY viewer stops watching and their ears bleed lol. This does not make one a fan fav--and they say this year the fans will have more say than ever so I think that might be something to consider. So I wish him the best of luck IF he plays hard but also has learned to be loyal and committed to folks. If he had done that all the way with the Sovs last year I truly believe it would have ended up totally differently. Cause face it, if he hadn't been caught in lies to everyone the house never would have united against him, so when the Sovs had power they could have picked off those yucky friendship not wasted it on Sarah etc. That happens the game goes totally differently. Well enough comments lol...but I just hope he and others really see their mistakes and take this opportunity to do it totally differently--and still play hard and make it interesting of course lol.

LOL at Maris's post! I do agree, for James to be successful he has to have some loyalty (assuming he gets in. I'm personally not voting for him as I have other favs, but I know he has quite a fan base.)

I don't think so. He was really swamped at the last minute especially with the blood drive that he was involved in yesterday afternoon.

I just thought of this thread and also wondered if he had made it here...I just came from reading an awesome chat log with Nakomis, and they were giving her advice and one of the most major things they pointed out was to not trust James because he isn't loyal. I rest my case! She agreed how important loyalty is in the game. Sigh...sure hope he has learned some of this, with or without our sage advice lolol. I'm certain he's heard it from many others...hope he was listening!

Well, if anyone questions his allegiance, he can always say in that smartass James voice, "You think I would be disloyal?...Why? Because playing both sides worked so well for me last time?"

Loyalty is all well and good, however the reason James was voted out last season is because Howie made a deal with Maggie faster than you can say "Cappy" when he lucked (Rachel threw the comp) into the HOH. Sugar-coat it all you want, Howie...I was there in your cranium right up until you promised NOT to nominate Maggie or any of the "Friendship", remember? Worst. Move. Ever.

I'm one of James' fanbase and would say this to him: Try not to play "the game" 24/7; take some time to relax. We realize you had Sarah to watch out for last summer so you played twice as hard but I can't recall you ever NOT stratagizing. Okay, playing hours upon hours of "coasters" isn't the most stimulating thing one can do, but getting to know another player while relaxing can build a rapport. Other people's minds don't race 150 mph like yours; they need to take breaks and not think ALL the time. Good luck, James, and make us proud!

James has taped a thank you message that is on the front page of his site. I listened to it, and it made me want to cry. He is very grateful that we were able to get him back in the house. Also, he says that when he wears his army shirt...it is his salute to us...his "army" of voters.

Sorry that James wasn't able to make it here to answer questions before he left. I'm sure he'll make it up to you guys....if you still want to talk to him afterwards. I didn't sign any kind of release or anything, although I don't think it matters with user names or nicknames....but, I've already gotten shoutouts from James, Kaysar, and Howie which is kind of cool...I heard the FIRST shoutout from James/Kaysar but missed the Howie/James shoutout today. Thankfully, someone recorded both so now I have them saved in my youtube account....Hey, that's 3 out of the 4 BB6ers...not too bad.... It was totally unnecessary...I didn't even ask any of them for that...so it was a nice surprise.
