From my watching the show only perspective, and my felling that in Big Brother your word is....or has become in recent seaons, a very fluid thing...

Matt can't leave the house soon enough for me. I abhor him. I was ready to depart the show (easy this year) if Alex came back to team up with Matt.

I like James.

Meggie, you have email ..

==

James said last night that he felt Mattie had a chance at winning POV and he threw it (apparenly he fell off a beam and later told people that being a roofer, he walked stuff like that all day long).

Not sure that means he wasn't backdoored, but often people say, they want a chance at POV.

Found this article mentioning James. In August 2006 he was 19 (confirming his age as 21 now) and had "already climbed Mount Fuji and recently biked half way across the country," that's from his Big Sister (as in "Big Brothers Big Sisters"). That puts him at 18 and a half in April 2005 when the above Real Estate scandal was resolved, and presumably younger when the bad deeds were carried out, at which time the offender had his Real Estate License, his own business and rented office space. Can't be the same James Zinkand.

Let's see- James went back on his word about not putting either of them up.
But anyone who watched BBAD also saw Matt trying to get Nat to make a deal with James. Matt then turned to Ryan and said "Don't worry about it- she won't keep her word".
You can best bet if James had jumped down he would now be on the block. Anyone who thinks differently is just kidding themselves.
It's one of the reason why I do not let any of the lying, conniving, backstabbing, etc bother me.
I thought last year was bad with AP. This years group are just trying to out do last years.

What I don't understand is why BB doesn't do better background checks. Something comes out about the HG's every year that they should have found.

I'm sure CBS does background checks on everyone. If BB only cast people with clean records then Janelle would have never made the cut. And I'm saying this as a Janelle fan.

I do think that Matt should go; however, James should have kept the deal he made. He came back into the house all high and mighty and spoke as though he were better than the rest. He even went on about the veto, who knows maybe this is why no one else wanted to win it, and wanting to keep things the same. I really hope that Natalie wins the next HOH and suddenly realizes that she can no longer trust anyone. I hope that she keeps all knowledge of the game to herself and wins it all

I still say it's James only because it's what he said he did. He said he owned a mortgage co. You have to have a RE license for that. One RE license was revoked (father?) and one was suspended (James?) I think this is a guy who grew up very early in life. I'm still not sure about his real age.

Also, I think it was James who intended to bd Matt last week, but let Josh think it was his idea. When James suggested Chels for the noms, I knew he had an ulterior motive.

Another confirmation on his age as 21 now. He was 16 in May 2003 according to his local paper when he was part of this cleverly thought out (not) stunt:
http://www.jacksonville.com/apnews/stories/050903/D7QTKKL01.html

And I've been following the James Zinkand in the PA RE scam - he has since moved to Arizona and started up another mortgage company there - until AZ found out about his previous license suspension and suspended his new license too. He's also into playing bridge. I don't see BB James playing bridge.

Your comment cracked me up, Coco! He must be a genious to have accomplished that!! I agree that it was Josh's idea to backdoor Matt last week, even Matt went off on Josh so he knew. Why Josh wasn't put up instead of James I don't know. As far as ANYONE in the house trusting Sheila, they must all be fools. She has manipulated all of them. I hope Matt goes this week and Sheila follows right behind.

Also on James myspace.... he slist his income as $250,000

okay.... didn't he say he was "homeless" did he use that as a "ploy" to get on BB.... making it sound like he has a great story to tell by being homeless and traveling the world on $100.

Now couldn't he just buy his laptop with that income, and if he makes that kind of money..... why does he take all the free stuff like a brand new bike...free clothes, etc?
whats wrong with this guy?

also on his coments.... one of his freinds rights:

James! We are so proud of you! Way to stick it to <77> and win HOH! You never gave up! Got to admit I feel kind of bad for Natalie but she lets herself get taken advantage of by that <77> Matt. I wish he were gone already! But I think it would be better to show them what kind of man you are by keeping your word! Love you! Miss you terribly. Win that half million, okay?

okay..... what do ya think of your man james now that he didn't show what kind a guy you thought he was by KEEPING HIS WORD?

I think, like many people's myspace, Jame's Myspace is just filled with silly comments. If you believe everything it says he lives in Buenos Aires, majored in "porn and beer" and currently works for Boner Magazine (not even sure if that word will pass the red star test!) and is a "mortgage traveller," whatever that is. Kids make stuff up and post it on myspace, I wouldn't take it too seriously.

I seriously doubt "Crazy" James Zinkand had a fiance before going onto Big Brother 9. Only because prior to that he was busy riding his bike around the states and starring in gay porn.

In fact, Naked Sword and Dirty Boy Video are releasing a gay adult soap opera entitled Dirty Tricks this month that James filmed before BB9. In Dirty Tricks, James plays a guy named Alex along with a drag queen named Ginger Beef and two other gay guys named Martin and Eddie.

It's going to be really interesting to see how Chelsia Hart from BB9 reacts when she finds out that her "on camera boyfriend" is really a gay pornstar.

James has talked about his magazine. He started it in high school. He took pictures from other magazines first, and then started taking his own. It is/was called "Boner". He says that was his first real "job".

He and Chelsia talked about this for quite a while during their shared HOH. She asked him about the kind of articles and pictures he had in it.

Boner Magazine sounds like a quality periodical. I would be more than willing to contribute. Or not.

Seems to me like the HG's made the biggest mistake by voting James back in. They may never get rid of him now....He's making a plan to control the votes so that he can "VOTE" Matt back out of the house. So not only did he break his word to Natalie. You know...his word...the one thing you have in this game that you have that no one can take from you that...that others seem to give and not keep, but that I WILL NOT DO..IF I GIVE YOU MY WORD I WILL KEEP IT, MY WORD MEANS SOMETHING, I AM NOT LIKE THE OTHERS, WHAT I SAY I MEAN, I AM JAMES HEAR ME ROAR, WITH MY PINK HAIR AND ...ooops sorry, I think James took over my body to try to make fans on this website since it had his name on it.....

There are various strategies one may use when playing this game. One of them is to make and break promises. We'll see if this proves to be a winning strategy for James.

One thing that never ceases to amaze me though is how other players can see someone repeatedly break their word and then still believe what he says to them.

Jimmer - You have a good point. I think we HGs get desperate, they believe what is best for them - no matter how untrustworthy the promiser is.

Jimmer- You made me think of when Ryan was up in the HOH room and shook hands with just about everyone in the house that he was going to use the veto on Matt. He then turned around and put James up.
Yesterday he was telling James "You have my word dude".
I was sitting here yelling. James don't believe him.

I think what bothered me by James breaking his word on this one was that Natalie was fighting so hard in that endurance and they all, including James and Chelsea, were so sincere saying they would not put her and Matt up and afterwards talking about how hard she fought for him etc etc. I think that they probably should have put Matt up however, the only part of this that gets under my skin a bit was the way they betrayed Natalie while posturing about how hard she had fought and how proud they were of her and how they would not break their word for someone who had fought like that. Also, James was so adamant that he was not going to "backdoor" as was done to him, maybe because Matt competed in the POV it was a different story in his mind. I see this as a great move strategically by putting up Matt, IF the comp had not been what it was for James to win HOH and IF Nat had not fought so hard and they had not been posturing about how they could never break their word to her after watching her do that. I would not give 2 cents worth if they had broke their word really to anyone else because I do believe lying is part of this game in many ways, it was the manner, timing, and person they lied to that made this incident really look badly to me.
