Vykin stick his head into the Red Room confessional and says:

Hi Big "I", I don't really have anything to say right now, except that a few of us keep trying to catch up with Luke and he seems to be eluding us.

He smiles, waves, and quickly shuts the door.

You can hear a low cough from the Interrogator's side of the confessional.

Vykin eneters the Red Room confessional and sits down facing the screen.

He yawns and says:

Hi Interrogator, I realize its late and thanx for unlocking the door.


The Interrogator solemnly states:

The Red Room is always open if you have something to say.


Vykin nods and says:

I'm sure you've noticed, some of us have been worried about Luke today. Well, he's finally back on track and IMHO had valid reasons for not saying too much today. I know you have rules for this game, but I hope you give him a chance and don't banish him. We all have days when we will be distracted by something. I hope you find it in your heart to let Luke stay with us.

Vykin smiles and gets up to leave.

The Interrogator says:

We will talk again tomorrow.


Vykin pauses then says:

Thank you for listening.

Vykin yawns again, and saunters out the door.

Vykin saunters into the red Room and sits in the chair, dangling a leg over the arm. He says:

Hi Gator. I would have dropped in sooner but it's been a busy day, with a big Canuck Thinxgiving Dinner, I got full and needed a nap.


The Interrogator says:

You have gotten to meet and know each other for a couple of days. Sometimes first impressions last the longest. Select two houseguests, preferably one you like and one you don't (or one you like the least) and tell me YOUR impression.


Vykin gives a thumbs up and says:

Two people you ask?

Hmm, I like Arreal, probably because she and I live in the same time zone and in reality only 3 hours apart, though we've never met prior to entering this house. Its great to have someone to talk to late at night.

I also get a charge out of Xenia and her "psychic crystals", frankly I think they are only pebbles from the beach. However, if she feels they work for her then so be it. She's a real pistol though, not sure how fully loaded!


The Interrogator sternly comments:

Just one.


Vykin gulps and nods his head. He smiles and says:

ArReal.

On the flip side, I like Moondance, but it seems she consumed her time yesterday by pointing out to the rest of us that she was the one who said something "first". I think this annoyed some people in the house, because some TGPs have referred to the possibility that she has "JA-ME-ME-ME SYNDROME". Today she seems to be ecstatic that our challenge prize was a visit to her website. My opinion? It's all optics - the mirror has two faces.

There Gator, you satisfied now?


The Interrogator replies cooly:

If that is all, we will talk again tomorrow.


Vykin hops to his feet smirking and leaves the room.

Vykin struts into the red Room and sits in the chair. He says:

Okay Big "Eye" or "I" for those who speak Canadian. I'm ticked that Mantastic got to go surfing, while I had to babysit the rest of these mealy bugs.

It doesn't make things easier when the Big "S-he" H asks us to answer 25 questions knowing most of us won't do it, except Moondance who wants to get plastic surgery done on her Profile.

Also we're out of beer and wine!!!

Do I seem like a Fightin Vykin? darn tootin rites.

Vykin hops out of the chair and rushes out of the room.


You think you hear someone belch softly behind the screen.

Vykin ambles into the room and sits in the chair. He says:

Hey Gator!! Surprised to see me so early in the day?


The Interrogator replies:

No.


Vykin chortles and says:

Just had to come and blow off some steam. Xenia was gunning for me today it seems. Kinda ticks me off, thinks I'm talking trivia.

I'm thinking, unless its a subject about sex, the scope of her brain doesn't venture much further.


The Interrogator asks:

Any thoughts on the nominations?


Vykin nods and says:

I deeply regret the nominations I made earlier. It was a lack of sleep and pressure to finish the challenge and give nominations.

If I had it to do over I'd nominate xenia over mantastic and zebulon.


The Interrogator say:

If there is nothing else, we can talk again after you get some sleep.


Vykin stands up and says:

Later gator.

Vykin casually saunters into the room and takes a seat:

Evening Gator,
I wish those nominated, well and I hope this won't disrupt the house. I am sad to hear Mantastic has left the house, without speaking with us. I was beginning to enjoy his contributions. I would like to get a hold on the outside. Its tough being secluded for all of us. For myself, not being nominated. Well, Gator, I try not to "kick a gift horse in the mouth". I fully expected to get nominated, and fully expect I will in the future. I'm just going to play the game and try not to feel like I'm a step above the one's who've been nominated. For I know, my number will also come up.

Interrogator: If there is nothing further, we'll talk soon.

Vykin nods and exits the room.

Vykin enters the room and sits down:

Good evening, Host: Seriously, I don't mind digs and jabs, but to be honest with you the post below by Xenia, is beligerant and foul. I don't think anyone else is using such disparaging remarks in the game as Xenia is. Initially, it ws okay, but she is getting out of hand. I was trying to watch my language and the one time I used "•••••" it was bleeped. But this crap that XENIA is spewing for many outside watchers of this game is not what I'm here to play for. We all know what Dry "F--ks" are, these types of comments are being allowed, it should not be done. Neither you or I know what the age level is of some of the viewers. If Xenia wanted to share her sexual fantasies to the extent she is doing. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS THE PLATFORM. There are many Porn sites she could go to to get her kicks. It does not play well with me. I am asking that you either censor her comments, or something. Its become pathetic when she becomes so descriptive. I know people on the outside are really upset with this.

XENIAS POST AT THE INTERNET CAMERA FOLDER THIS EVENING:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now, the more aggressive side of my personality must address Vykin.

Yo Giblets! YOU F-CKING PIECE OF SHIT!!!!

It's one thing to insult me based on something I have written or revealed within the game, but it's quite another to belittle my appearance--something that has nothing to do with the game.

How would you like it if I had said something so cruel and vicious about the death of your father?

I could still do it. I'm not above that sort of thing.

And a part of me wants to be as vicious as you were today just so you know how it feels to be hurt over something so deeply personal.

One more f-cking lame-ass post out of you before I get banished, and so help me God, I will rip you to shreds and either make you cry or go clinically insane.

I have read post after post where you have blatantly shown how truly inane you are. I don't like stupid people and you have proven to be one of them.

(By the way, the definition of "inane" is: "lacking significance, meaning, or point". I'm sure you didn't know that.)

Your post was completely unacceptable. And if you want to take this to a more personal level, fine by me.

Right now, I have PMS, unbelievable cramps and I am so pissed off. This would be a PERFECT time to spar with me.

If you have even one f-cking brain cell, Giblets, you'll ignore me for the next 24 hours until I get banished.

And once I do get banished, I am going to remind those on the outside every chance I get of what a total jackass you have proven yourself to be.

--
Well, let me leave you with a final thought, Giblets.

Right now, I'm fantasizing about putting on a 12-inch black strap-on dildo,
bending you over and dry f-cking your ass.

Maybe that would finally shut you up.


Vykin jumped up and walked out.

Vykin wearily enters the Red Room, and sits down:

Well Big "Eye", or Gator if you prefer:

Yesterday was not a good day in this house. The Thundererous Storms of Life swept down upon us with a gripping chill (maybe it a combination of the Full Moon & Friday the 13th). Sometimes Gato ( not to be confused for Kato), we as humans just can't stop the forces of nature once they begin their destruction. I think, the situation yesterday could have been avoided. Myself I felt attacked without justification by most of my housemates. It didn't matter to what lengths I went to tell them, I am not Neil, I am not a "plant" etc. (some of the most bizarre scenarios offered up about me, but by no means at all) They did not want to believe me. At times I felt like an injured animal with the lions closing in.

To go to the Challenge room and use additional questions to ask about me, wasn't a worry, because I knew I was being honest, though some accused me of lieing. Even when you answered Roger's questions in an effort to diffuse the matter, everyone pounced on one error you made, and said THERE, THERE! IS THE SMOKING GUN!. I am glad there are no trees around here strong enough to hold a rope, for its certain I would be hung. I certainly don't hold the Host responsible for his error and felt once it was clarified the whole issue could be put behind us.

However, to say there is trust in this house, would be a miscarriage of justice. The trust has been badly damaged.

Gato, I also feel bad for the Host. It must be difficult with all the burdens of the house, at times to deal with emotions of others. I respect their decisions, don't question them, and really am enjoying the ride. As Martha Stewart would say: "The Game - It's a Good Thing!"

Finally, Big Eye (I'd call you Big G but I use that for god in the church), I hope the people on the outside, will think very carefully about how they will cast their re-votes. I have no interest in influencing the public vote, but I urge the people of the outside world to vote with their minds and not their hearts. Sympathy votes are never good votes. Its good to take a page out of my pal BBer Eddie's book, where he said, "I don't need peoples sympathy votes".

That's it Big Eye have a great weekend.

Vykin leaves the room with a wave.

Vykin enters the room on Sunday evening, and says:

Hi Gator or Big H: Not sure who I'm supposed to be sending my "confessions" to so I'm hitting both of you. Today was okay, don't know why, but I'm feeling really tired. Well Gato, my son got home last nite, we had some catch up to do (Hmm Host does that constitute outside contact?). Speaking of outside contact, last nite a friend of mine signed up to the site and emailed me asking if they can only vote once or as often as they want. I responded that I don't know, that from what I recall from BigBrother Polls they can only vote once. Thats all I said Gato, but I wouldn't mind if you or the Big H could clarify for me if that also constitutes outside contact. It was a new friend who was trying to make their way around the site. I took it as a technical question, but who knows. I am a bit "paranoid" because of recent events about whether I shud even respond to technical questions that someone may ask me. Would appreciate your clarifying this for me.

Other than the above concern Gato, I had some laughs today at the Improv, then popped into Material Possessions and that was fun. That reminded me of a story about a chiropractor which I went to Creepy Folders to tell. So overall, its been a good day. Arreal and Roger and Talisker seem to have spent more time on the challenge. That's good. Don't know where Luke has disappeared to, maybe he reunited with his boyfriend. Oh yeah, I got a banner today from I think someone TVFC, haven't a clue who that is, but it felt good.

Interrogator: If there's nothing further, we'll talk again soon.

I think thats about it for now have a good evening!

Vykin comes in humming the words to an old song: Good Bye Ruby Tuesday"

Yo Gato! Hope you had a great holiday where ever you went. Don't really have a whole lot to say to you this morning. I have to see a doctor this morning about a physical problem thats come up, so I will have to leave the compound for an hour this morning. Last nites chat was good, except I wish some of my cellmates would listen to the Host when the Big H asks questions. We are now down to 8, don't know what the future holds, but Moon or someone posted our Horoscopes, so that may give some insight.

Looks like Roger "pontificated" enough that he is going to be the "Person To Go to the Outside World". Personally, Gato, with all the mistrust that went on here over the weekend and subliminal inferences toward my identify and motives for being here, I have made a decision not to view what the report will be from the outside. Call it paranoia, but, I will read everything only when I am gone from inside the compound.

Oh yeah, Gato, updates to my website have occurred, hopefully Tali and Mantastic will stop by it for a visit, since the webdesigner has added some new pages. I think there will also be links to my other inmates pages there later this afternoon.

Thats it Have a Good One, Have a Safe One (But don't have Two)!Later Gato!

Vykin enters and looks disturbed:

Hi, it's 9:30pm pst, and deathly quiet most of this evening. I'm not sure where the rest of the inmates are. It's eerie Gator. I just get this feeling, the rest of the crew are somewhere in hiding, probably strategizing on how to get rid of me. I just have this feeling. Nothing specific, G., for the first time since I've been here I'm feeling like a REAL outsider. I don't know what it is, but its funny, how some of my housemates can fill up numerous folders giving sympathy to Arreal about her hard life, her
suspicions of me and then more folders concerned about her computer problems.

Yet, I know I mentioned a few times today, that I had a doctors appt. but no one seems to want to talk about it or ask me if I'm okay. I am a real person Host, I too have feelings. I suspect if Tali was here, she'd probably ask. Its odd, I see the mates posting how they don't get the chance to know me, yet, they don't really go out of their way to ask me things. Surely, I make myself available. Just fleeting comments which almost seem like an obligatory thing. Xenia makes me laugh at least, but she's been busy working. With the exception of Zebulon, who has generated some good discussions, Roger and Luke seem to be polite, and thats the extent of it.

Sorry Gato, don't mean to dump on you, but no one else is around. Roger and Luke seem to spend most of their time in the LR or HotTub. Gato, my application was pretty clear, I said I enjoy debates, and discussion of topics. That's where I usually hang out, because other peoples ideas, topics, get your brain thinking. My brain goes to mush when I go to the livingroom or hottub.

It also bugs me sometimes when one of the guys, usually roger , makes small comments about me having two styles in the house. They've said it enough that others seem to think , I'm not a "normal" person. Yet again, when I applied I said, I like humor, I like good discussions.

I don't know Gato, lots of questions flowing in my mind tonite. Well, I guess I'll go see if Xenia's around, she's always good for fun.

Vykin strolls in and takes a seat.

CANADIAN CONTENT:
Okay time for a Canadian Joke:
A Canadian Classic:

After the North American Beer Festival, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer.

The guy from Corona sits down and says,"Hey Senor, I would like the world's best beer, a Corona." The bartender dusts off a bottle from the shelf and gives it to him.

The guy from Budweiser says, "I'd like the best beer in the world, give me 'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser." The bartender gives him one.

The guy from Coors says, "I'd like the only beer made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors." He gets it.

The guy from Molson sits down and says, "Give me a Coke." The bartender is a little taken aback, but gives him what he ordered.

The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask, "Why aren't you drinking a Molson's?"

The Molson president replies, "Well, I figured if you guys aren't drinking real beer, neither would I. For I AM CANADIAN

(for u americans who don't get it, Molsons Beer in Canada like the above mentioned other companies has a huge, popular advertising campaign which now carries the catch prhase:"I Am Canadian" (All hell you guys probably still don't get it, I'm gonna copy and paste and email it to Neil, he's Canadian, he'll get it.)

The Interrogator coughs then says:

Is there anything in particular you would like to talk about?


Vykin grins and says:

Okay, now then, well we wrote a song, Gato. Its not too bad. :)

All hell broke loose when you left, but you know what Gator, I only have to live with these people I don't have to sleep with them.

If I could afford a CDburner for my son, I'd buy one. However, if I chance to win it, and my expectations aren't high, I know my son would be forever indebted and use it with pride.

Especially Gator, after today, when I went to clean up some files and accidently deleted his Napster program. Well, I was saved from execution by my own child, because one file which contained his massive library of songs had miraculously escaped my hands of destruction.


The Interrogator says:

If there is nothing else, we will talk again later.

Yo! Gato - TGIF!!!!!!!!!

Do you wish you had stayed away longer?


The Interrogator says:

I will ask the questions. Is there anything in particular you would like to talk about?


Vykin grins and says:

Its Raining outside!

I just did a nuclear attack on the Xenster.


Vykin pauses to chuckle then continues:

But that is not why I'm here. I just want to share, that I think my friends and family have left me here to die. I haven't seen a banner for me in 5 days. Though Roger is getting flooded with them.

If in fact my people have deserted me, I'm not gonna waste time when I get out. I'll track down some new friends.


Vykin gets a serious look on his face and says:

Now, I have nothing to show in evidence that my friends have flown the coop, except last night as I lay sleeping, the song, "Hooked on a Feeling" kept playing in the background of my dreams.


Vykin starts singing:

o/~ "OOGACHUGGA OOGACHUGGA, OOGACHUGGA, o/~
o/~ I'M HOOKED ON A FEELING, o/~
o/~ AND I CAN'T HELP BELIEVING...." o/~


Vykin screams:

Damn it Gator, I really need to figure out how Napster works.

Vykin walks into the room, takes off his horned helmet and sits down.


The Interrogator says:

The second nomination has come and gone. Xenia and Zebulon have left with it. Was that a surprise?


Vykin scratches his head and says:

Morning Gato, Oops its past noon out here. I need a coffee quick! :)

Yes, it
was a surprise to me, I really enjoyed Zeb's topics and comments. Sometimes it seems he and I were the only ones to discuss something. Maybe it was the timing. I do miss his presence, after the banishment last nite, the boards were deathly still.

Have to tell you it is exhausting. One goes through all sorts of thoughts and emotions. You get a real sense of how the BigBrother folks must have felt after someone left, whether they liked them or not.

Xenia, aside from her crude language at times, I have to say I enjoyed her. I looked forward to her responses. I must say, I really enjoyed being called Giblets, and that name will stay with me long after this game is gone. I regret not catching that she was from Montreal, for some reason I thought she was in California. I would have liked to have talked with her further about some Canadian stuff.


The Interrogator says:

And what do you think it means for The Game? Does it impact the BG's?


Vykin nods his head and says:

Does it impact us? I think it does, this is a virtual game being played via computer. But at the end of each computer sits a human being from the real world. It feels a little more empty each time around.


The Interrogator asks:

Is there anything else you would like to say?


Vykin replies:

I am glad Roger is talking more with me the past few days. He seemed to have opened up a bit more. Once Luke takes 10 deep breaths from his Filipino 9 day funeral situation, we'll probably chat some too.

Well Gato, gotta go spread my word some more!


The Interrogator says:

We will talk again later.

Vykin charges into the room and sits in the chair. He looks at the screen and says:

Morning Gato!

How did you enjoy the short film in the Internet Camera last night? Personally Gatster I think it's Academy Award material.


The Interrogator says:

Good Morning Board Guest, I will ask the questions.

As you know by now, ArReal decided to quit The Game last night. Was it a surprise to you?


Vykin takes off his helmet and shuffles it from hand to hand. He grins and says:

Yes it was a suprise, I'd been on most of the day, normal fun day, sign off to watch Forrest Gump, come back and find the chicken has flown the coop.


The Interrogator asks:

What are your thoughts and/or feelings about it?


Vykin blinks then smiles and says:

My thoughts?

When I finally read the Hosts message he/she didn't say why Arreal left. If Arreal left because we've had disagreements, then Gato, I believe she left for the wrong reasons.

As I said last night, I'm sure
she'll find someway to blame me for her departure. I can't stop a runaway train, I have to look after myself and make sure I'm not on the train track cuz I've been there before in this house. I made decisions regarding the Tali debacle that I don't regret, I would make those same decisions again. If I give someone my word I stand by it, I'll take the consequences. Some may agree others may not, I'll be happy to discuss my decisions when I leave here with whoever is interested in hearing the whole truth.

I have no illusions, I'm sure there are people on the outside that like me or those who dislike me. All I can do is play the game. Oh, Gato this is still a game, isn't it?


Vykin pauses, as if waiting for an answer. Then he shrugs his shoulders and continues:

I was suprised when I came in the LR after I saw Roger's early post about Arreal leaving, there wasn't much discussion about her departure. Rather we all got into playing Truth or Dare. What does that say about us Gato, I don't know. Last night I had more fun than I have in awhile. With Roger, Moon and Luke (until he fell asleep just as it was my turn to ask him TorD)


After a moment the Interrogator says:

If that is all, we will talk again later.


Vykin puts on his helmet and says:

Have a good one Gatster, check out that film on the Internet Camera, You're a Star.

Vykin jogs into the Red Room and grabs a seat. He looks at the screen and says.

Hey Gator, Sorry I didn't send redroom yesterday, I got caught up in the truth or dare, and time ran away.


The Interrogator replies coldly:

Don't let it happen again.

You experienced the 15 minute chat with Zebulon. Give me your thoughts and impressions from it.


Vykin gulps, and nods his head. He replies:

Personally GatorAidMan I was glad we got that reward. I have missed Zeb in the house because he would always set up discussion folders. He always had thought provoking ideas. I enjoy that. Seeing Zeb in the chatroom was like seeing a long lost friend. I hoped I would see Xenias name in the crowd but I didn't. Zeb did a great job.


The Interrogator says:

You brought up, and heard mention of, the issue of ArReal. Any thoughts on what was said and heard on that matter in the chat?


Vykin nods his head and says:

I was worried about the conflict with Arreal. Then she sent the banner, she didn't deserve to win? I couldn't understand what she meant. Then Roger asked Host to tell us why she left, and no response.

Gatester, I had a continous run in with Arreal. I suspected she left because of me to the extent she realized the whole truth was going to come out if the conflict escalated even more. I had almost reached the point where I was going to post a very detailed account of the background of her IMs to me and the detail of what she had asked me to do. I felt confident that once the other guests knew exactly what went down, the questions would stop.


The Interrogator interrupts:

Yet you did not address any of this. Why?


Vykin blinks and says:

The problem was I'd seen questions raised about me before and I rode them out, thinking its best not to answer them. I probably should have been more open - concerning the truth of Arreal's IMs to me. Angry words had exchanged btwn us these past few weeks.

I really felt she would take her vengeance out on me on the outside, which I wouldn't see and couldn't defend. So, since she left on Sunday, and Host didn't give reasons like he did with Mantastic I felt I had to ask. Unfortunately from the questions in the chatroom, my suspicions were confirmed to some extent.

Gator, this game is really stressful, I am not immune to feeling the stress transgress into my real world.


The Interrogator says:

If that is all you are willing to discuss now we will talk again later.


Vykin sighs and says:

Okay later gator, if I have "vascilated" I'm sorry buddy, but her sudden departure did impact me.


Vykin gets up and heads out the door.

Vikyn enters the Red Room and sits down.


The Interrgoator says:

Good Evening


Vykin smiles and replies:

Good evening now morning to you Gato, wow what aprivilege you beckon me twice in one nite!

(Are you out of cigarettes?)


The Interrogator says:

I will ask the questions.

You have already received the general email about the chat sent to all the Board Guest's asking for their thoughts . However, you also received an additional 5 minutes of fame because you won a challenge. There are some questions left unanswered during that chat.


Vykin nods his head and interrupts:

Okay Gato, I said I am willing to answer any question.


The Interrogator coldly queries:

As I asked during the chat, you have been accused of cheating not only through IM, but also by getting information from friends, your "advisors". How do you respond to that?


Vykin sighs and says:

Who coined the word "cheating"? Or are you referring to the question about the NY Times article? I emphatically state, "I am not cheating"

Gator I have set up a folder in the Discussions to answer any and all questiions my housemates may have. I am also including any emails I may have received. I have nothing to hide.


The Interrogator says:

What about the NY Times article?

The NYTimes article was emailed to me by a BB chat friend, innocently. It was the only email I received, aside from Arreal, about the Game. It came in the first week of the game before Host clarified emails. This was a new friend registered who told me they wanted to support me before I became sequestered. In that first week, while Arreal and I were just IMing, - when most of my IMs asked about website technical stuff, i.e. how to do clipart etc. My friend inadvertently emailed me about the NYTimes article, I assume now, which was posted on the public side of the boards.

I got "sucked" in. (Hell I even phoned my real world friends and told them - they thought I was nuts!). Just as I got the email, Arreal coincidently, IMd me. I told her apparently "we've made the NYTimes", so we both talked about that.

Shortly afterward I came to my senses. I emailed my friend and said: "Are you sure its not a Hoax?", I also referred that it "smells" of the false news articles the BigBrother ppls got in tennis balls. My friend responded, they felt it was real, cuz someone named Ocean had posted it. Only other email I got about that was a one liner from my friend: "Its a Hoax, even the Host got taken". Not long after, a banner flew in the house about NY Times article. By then I knew its likely a hoax and I posted that. End of Story.


The Interrogator asks:

Who are you advisors?


Vykin chuckles and says:

The "advisors", in all my online discussion groups, since 7 years ago, we have this "rapport", when the situation calls for we call ourselves different things. It keeps the humor in our chats. The term, "advisors" is reference to friends, we've also used words such as "doctors" (this was new "invention") coined after BigBrother was over, my new group of friends from BigBrother Chats, wanted to stay in contact. To do so, wecreated a private chat room Called BBB Therapy this is simply a place for all of us to go and commiserate about how we miss BigBrother.

So, we would always say, I need to go visit the doctor, I need therapy. That is our way of saying, "lets go chat about anything", we are bored". Heck we even have one guy who goes and chats about his flower gardens! I have other friends with other chatrooms where a bunch of us go for privacy to talk about Politics, Also about JonBenet, Martha Moxley. My oldest discussion group is called ProJayers, it refers to stragglers from the OJ trial (sorry gato we still despise the man). We use private chats because AOL has a lot of perverts and lurkers stalking the public chat rooms, who spam alot.


The Interrogator says:

You mentioned that a friend was threatened after the IM's with ArReal. Please elaborate.


Vykin nods his head sadly and says:

Certainly Gato, Let me put this into perspective. This question correlates to the one about me pulling out of the game.

When Arreal went ahead with
exposing Tali, she had first IMd me because I came into LR int the middle of some discussion btwn her and Roger and she said, "Vykin, tell roger the secret, tell him tell him". I had no idea what she referred to, I hadn't read the previous converse btwn her and Roger. I posted, "What secret?" I honestly didn't understand, then I saw Tali enter the Livingroom and saw something about "someone's head under water", Regardless, I thought Arreal was just playing a game, so I played along, posting a "fake" story about seeing tali go into the church the nite before.

I think Arreal got angry, she then IMd me, she said something to effect of, "You have to help me, I want to set Tali up and expose her, the Host is not listening to my emails". It was then, I realized Arreals reference to a "secret" meant exposing Tali. I responded, "Arreal, I have told you a number of times, I'm not gonna question what the Host decides. I don't know anyone here." I also said, "Arreal, if you want Tali's role out in the open, then you have to deal with Tali and get her to tell the other housemates" I think I even posted something to that effect when I saw Arreal start LR posts calling me a liar or hiding something.


The Interrogator says:

Kearie mentioned in the chat that you promised to back her against Talisker, but withdrew your support. How do you respond?


Vykin shouts:

This is a flat outright lie! I have NEVER promised her anything like that, in fact, I told her she should ask Tali to reveal her role it was not my place to do so, but Tali's. Arreal was getting more angry at me, she couldn't resist, she twisted things to Roger, and pulled him into her devious plot. To the extent that he went to Challenge area and posted a ton of questions about me. Wondering if I too am a Mole, etc. (it's all on record)


The Interrogator says:

Also, you still haven't really talked about the friend who was threatened.


Vykin nods his head and says:

Shortly after all this began to unfold, I think the next day, I get a frantic email from my friend who said, "What's going on??? someone just IMd my husbands screenname and made threats against you!" I thought "What the Hell? ". My friend was worried and didn't know how the screenname had been found. Then I remembered - when before the game started, I double clicked on the user names and some had email addresses. I said to my friend, "Go to the site and check your user name, you may have put your email address in the Profile portion of registration". Yes, my friend had done that thinking it is private, not realizing anyone can click and see it. Especially people familiar with TVClubhouse.

I asked who the person was that IMd my friend. I was told someone named SARA. I then remembered in one previous converse with Arreal that she had referred to a friend on the outside boards called "Sara".

Gato, I didn't fall off the turnip wagon yesterday!! With all the other weird IMs from Arreal taunting me. I got angry. I also knew that only AOL members know that they can IM to a screenname that is also an email address and Arreal is an AOL member who would also know this.

This "Sara" person, said something to effect of, "We are gonna get or nail Vykin, ....There is a Mole in your group of friends". (I think there was more). I was LIVID, I almost pulled out of the Game. Call me what you want, hate me in the posts on the outside, hate me in posts on the inside.


Vykin stands, shaking a fist, and shouts:

BUT NEVER ATTACK MY FRIENDS, USING EMAILS, IMS, ETC.


The Interrogator says:

Some feel that you should pull out of the game, as ArReal did, because of the IM cheating. How do you respond?


Vyking shrugs his shoulders and says:

Gator, How am I cheating?

The Host has responded clearly & concisely about the use of emails & IMs. I even posted somewhere that Host clarify the use of emails/IMs. I believe Host re-stated the Rules and said he can't stop it and its not part of the official rules.... However, I immediately stopped when I saw there was confusion about use of emails/IMs. I also sent emails to anyone and everyone on my mail list not to refer to the game. This was during the escalating conflict btwn Arreal & Me. However, Arreal STILL tried to contact me via IM at least 3 times, The first time, I responded, "Arreal please do not attempt to contact me anymore via IM or email, I am complying with the Host's request".

This may have angered her, because then her next two IMs were "Vykin - Remember : Cut & Paste, He He He", "You are a liar, i'm exposing you" - this implied that she was threatening me with something. I didn't respond. During this same period of time, a number of other things occurred almost simultaneously.

1. I received an email from a friend, who I think may have posted on the outside boards, very confused and worried because someone named Sara had IMd.

2. Shortly thereafter, in the chatroom Friday nite, I saw a full screenname of another friend, I thought it was odd, because before the game started (this person, (who by the way, is 59year old female, breastcancer survivor, and I met during BigBrother) I had told Arreal about cuz she had asked me a question about someone named muzzy , cuz I had referred to muzzy in an internet camera address one night. I said, "Oh you mean, muzzyg***"

Arreal was the ONLY person who knew muzzy's full screen name. Muzzygra** kept disrupting the chat. I recognized the name, if I recall, I asked muzzy to stop more than once, 2 or 3 times, the Host also asked this person to stop disrupting. I couldn't understand, that was totally out of character for the muzzy that I knew. Then I remembered , during BB Days that going into a chat you can use any name u want, it doesn't have to be your clubhouse user name.

I thought with all the other weird stuff perhaps someone impersonated my friend, I don't know if its true. I even thought for a brief moment that Arreal could be impersonating Muzz, I don't know if its true, but Arreal had missed two chatroom discussion during the Tali explosion, and was fighting with me on the boards.

Now regarding your question about pulling out and IM cheating. Arreal refers to everything BEFORE Host clarified for us. It wasn't in the rules not to IM, I was new to the Game, still stumbling around. If people feel that constitutes cheating, the question I ask is: Why haven't they requested that the Host pull me out? It's been more than two weeks. To pull out is to "cave in" to my Haters. I feel they've probably destroyed me enough. What do they want from me? I am sure they have the Host's email address to formally request that I be pulled for what they see as "cheating".


The Interrogator asks:

Is there anything else on the subject that you wish to say?


Vykin nods his head and says:

Yes, one final thing, Any of my friends I've referred to I am absolutely willing to email the Host with their emails to verify whether my response is accurate. I will not reveal them here because, my friends, IF I HAVE ANY LEFT, don't deserve any further spamming or threats. But if the Host requests I will comply.

Also, I will be posting some questions that I would have asked Arreal if she was on the hotseat in chatroom last night, and I was the outsider wondering about her character.

I posted a letter I found that Arreal had sent me. Last night, I decided to do a search of my emails to see if there was anything that could back me up and I found the letter. To tell the truth I dont even remember receiving it. At the time I was getting so much email and IMs from ArReal that I don't even recall receiving it or what prompted her to send the email to me.

Finally, what more can I say to those people on the outside who are my "Haters"? Do they want me to take a Lie Detector Test??? Or do they want to Impeach me?


The Interrogator says:

If that is all we will talk again later.


Vykin smiles and says:

Okay Gator, I have work to do. Have a good one! Thanx for the coffee!


Vykin leaves the Red Room.

Vykin stomps into the Red Room and raises a beer in salute. He says:

Hey Gator, here's a beer on the house for you.


The Interrogator says:

Good evening. Is there anything in particular you would like to talk about?


Vykin grins and says:

Tonight I'll keep it short and to the point.

Its aggravating that some housemates, are scared to post things on seemingly "controversial" subjects. They retract back into their cocoons (because they think its "safe" there).

Humor mainly consists of cut and paste jokes we get from Jokes of the Day, I don't know Gator - is it me or don't some people have anything funny happen in their lives?


The Interrogator says:

I will ask the questions!

If that is all we will talk again later.


Vykin smirks and leaves the room.

Vykin charges into the room and jumps into the chair.


The Interrogator says:

Good morning Board Guest.

Yes, it is banishment time again. On the morn of a banishment date where
everyone is up for nomination there is only one question to ask. How do you
feel about it?


Vykin raises a bottle and says:

Top of the Morning Gatester, well this may be our final chat buddy, so
here's a bottle of cognac, enjoy!


The Interrogator says:

I am unable to accept gifts.


Vykin shrugs his shoulders and says:

How do I feel?

To be blunt Gato: I feel like a DeadManWalking


After a moments silence The Interrogator says:

If you don't care to elaborate we will talk again later.


Vykin chuckles and says:

Oh what the heck Gator, I'll stay and have a shot of cognac for you!


He takes a swig from the bottle and continues:

If this is our last meeting, I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated
your "ear". I know at times I may ramble on with you, I think that was
during the time of "conflict" with Arreal.

In the early days, and actually up until Arreal did her "premature ejaculation" (can I say that?) on Sunday, I felt somewhat disassociated especially after Tali left, she seemed like a good person. Then when Zeb and Xenia left, the house was quiet. Of course Arreal's actions and my reactions kicked up the volume.

But, you know Gato, since Arreal left, the 5 of us in this house came together, I think in the past week we've had some really good talks and laughter. It has been peaceful, everyone is relaxed. I'll just share a few brief thoughts on my co-inmates.

Luke - how can you not love the guy! I remember in the beginning, he was tied up with some personal issues in the real world. I am glad he was given a chance to prove he is a worthy player.

HiMay- She has opened up this week. She is a smart woman. Getting a chance to speak more of her thoughts. I like her.

Moondance- I really like her, she has been active on the boards, for awhile she and Xenia did the retrograde in Mercury stuff, sorry I don't necessarily have time to figure out the retrogrades. Some of the "if you were a tree" posts were fun to read. She had a bit of a crush on me, but I guess she didn't read my online relationships post. Last night she posted about some abuse she had. I hope she has recovered. Moon is never afraid to jump in and give her "two cents worth" I like that!

Roger - At first I kept missing him because he seemed to be a nightowl especially with Arreal. So I didn't get to know him much. Then of course when A got him to believe her version and he asked the questions of the Host, he greatly disappointed me. I wished he had asked me directly. These past few days though he and I have had a number of great conversations! I think, or I hope, we developed a mutual respect for one another. Lol, though he has to loosen up and have some humor, sometimes he's too serious! (Maybe he needs a good woman in his life).


The Interrogator says:

If that is all we will talk again later ... maybe.


Vykin grins and says:

Well Gato, Terrog, Gatester, let's hope, I can come back and empty that bottle of cognac! If I do come back to RedRoom, I'll try bring some great local beer, Kokanee.

Vykin storms into the Red Room and glares at the screen. He says:

I am damn angry at what has happened!!!

I've done many polls in the past, after the chatroom discussion, i had a look at the percentages and can see someone was stacking the deck.


The Interrogator says cooly:

Go on.


Vykin glares and says:

First, I have received nothing but damn abuse from Vykin Haters, which I know were organized by Arreal! I have spent the whole damn month having to explain myself! And not one person, except Tali when she was here, really believed me! Last chat before this was evident when I got my 5 minute "Reward", and Haters started once again trying to accuse ME of cheating.


Vykin throws his hands in the arm and exclaims:

Now what the hell happens??????


He fumes for a moment and then points and says:

This is what I think happened. The Arreal Haters were so obsessed with killing me off, they inadvertently ended up with Moondance as their Sacrificial Lamb!

Then I don't get booted and they CRY FOUL?????

This is bloody ridiculous!

Furthermore, I am even more angry, because Moondance has posted after chat that last night she received outside mail!!!!!! She didn't tell us last night, but only this morning!!!!


Vykin shouts:

AND YOU PEOPLE OUTSIDE ACCUSE ME OF CHEATING?? HOW DARE YOU!!

I played by the rules, and you people chose to attack me because I wasn't part of your former BBFC Clique!!!! I never had a chance from the minute I was chosen!


Vykin rushes out of the room, slamming the door as he leaves.

Vykin charges into the room and throws himself into the chair. He says:

Yo Gator, nice to see your cough is better. Probably cuz I tossed you that Hall's in the chatroom last nite.

I have a question for you. Did you see that weird post in the Internet Cam folder?

Some guy named Batman infilterated the compound and left you a weird message. Something about hockey.


The Interrogator cooly says:

I ask the questions.


You think you hear someone mumbling:

The bat will fit right up that 'Nuck fans .....


Vykin blinks and says:

Hey Gatester I see u must have found that case of Kokanee because it ain't in here now! Hope you didn't drink it all in one sitting!!! Though last nite u looked kinda "off" in chat. Rolling your polished bat in your hand with a sadistically pleasureable grin on your face!

And whats with that cape? You trying out for a role in "Zorro"?


The Interrogator says:

Gifts are not allowed during Gameplay.

I will ask the question.

You have entered the last leg of your sojourn. How does it feel to be one of the final 3?


Vykin gulps hard and says:

Ummmmmmm. Let's see now what was your questions?

Oh yeah the last leg of sojourn. Well Gatrog, you know it's not like I'm Eddie!!!! I do have two legs.

I think it took me a few hours to sink in that I was still here.

Last night about 3 hours before open chat, I tried to tell Moon that I didn't blame her for revote and she misunderstood, so off went another explosion. I chose to leave the challenge and go post funny stuff in the other folders. By the time chat came, i think i posted close to 25+ posts. So I was calm when I went into chat.

Today I've been tied up with birthday stuff, and trying to post, and get a costume together. I am relaxed. Its quiet and for some reason I feel the house is peaceful.

Though good ole roger sitting on the fencepost non-controversial, seems to be deep in speculation on how the final round of voting is going to take place. It almost seems to be eating at him right now. He's said he's competitive many times in the house, but frankly Gatester, I've yet to see it. At the end of the day, he's harmless and probably as nervous as Himay and I are.

I misss the Lukester, I got a kick outta him. I hope he's out there somewhere having a gay ole time!

Well Gatrog I gotta get "postal" before the night is late.


The Interrogator says:

If that is all we will talk again later.


Vjyin nods and says:

Have a good one!

He then adjusts his helmet and charges out of the room.

Vykin stumbles into the Red Room, sits down with a case of beer, and starts drinking.

The Interrogator says:

Is there anything in particular you would like to discuss?


Vykin shotguns a beer then shakes his head no. He then starts on another beer.


After Vykin has drank 6 beer the Interrogator says:

You are just going to sit there and drink beer?


Vykin downs another beer and burps:

Yepppppppppppp!

He then drinks the rest of the beer. When he is done he leaves the Red Room but unknowingly, he leaves the door open.

Vykin stumbles around in the doorway, with a silly grin on the face, humming then belts out:

I've been drinking with the GatorAde
Yesh the whole dang day!
I've been drinking with the GatorAde
On this Final Day!
Can't you hear the public cheering
Inmates please go home!
Can't you see the HOST is leering?
As patrons start to roam!

(COME ON NOW EVERYBODY)

OOOHHHHHHH Gator won't you blow!
Gator won't you blow!
Gator won't you blow the breathalyzer blow!
Give it all you Got!
Don't smoke Pot!
Gator blow the breathalyzer blow!

(hush)

Someone's in the HotTub with Lukester
Someone's in the HotTub we know oh oh oh
Someone's in the HotTub with Lukester
PLaying with Xenia's dildo!

(Chorus)

Mantastic the elastic is gone now
Talimole left us too!
Zeb and Xenia followed together.
While Arreal went to use the loo!

(chorus - everybody now)

Soon we were drinkin Five Alive
That day too did pass!
Moonie and Lookie left us
Man they were a gas!

(chorus - come one everybody now)

Then there were the final three!
Feeling so alone!
But the Gator's bat hit them on their heads
And they did too go home!


Suddenly Vykin looks like he feels like pukin, or Lukin. (He appears to be too drunk to tell.) Vykin trundles off into a corner, out of site of the doorway.


You hear someone chuckling in the Red Room, then the door shuts.
