The way James is talking to Sarah, it sounds like he's gonna take himself off. Telling her to call someone when she gets back home about a job.Sarah wants him to win HOH, but not nominate Howie & Rachel, so he doesn't go back on his word. She wants to be known as someone who didn't lie.
Janenlle , Rachel ,Howie, realize that James vetoing himself is good for them, because it makes him a target again, and takes focus off themselves.
Howie telling everyone in HOH room that next week they have to get rid of James no matter what because he is too dangerous to take out.
Howie makes everyone promise that nobody can take James into an alliance. Everyone in HOH except James & Sarah.
When it comes time to replace James on the block, they are going to do a spectacle where everyone stands up one at a time and volunteers to go on the block and eventually they will send up Jenny to be the pawn.
James walked into the HOH bedroom... he tells the idiots that Maggie is still his target, regardless.
James says that he couldn't believe that they were that dumb to think that he would want to take on the entire house by himself.
James tells Howie to remember who is friends were before he won HOH. James says that if he makes the final 2, he won't win anyway.
Howie: The CBS Gods love you, America Loves you...
James leaves. Howie stands up to show him to the door. Rachel gives him props, all the while with a mortified look on her face.
Rachel believes that at least one of Howie/Rachel will go up when James wins HOH next week
Sarah & James ~
James knows Howie & Rachel were trying to put a nice face on everything to keep him from targeting them.
He thinks Janelle is the least poisoned towards him.
Sarah is mad at Kaysar because he said they'd protect her.
Sarah "This whole thing started because you tried to help the house by getting Mike out."
