I lost because I was going up against cowards
James Rhine of Atlanta kicked off the sixth season of Big Brother with shady playing that included plenty of lying and deceiving. Doing so made the 29-year-old loss-prevention manager (who claimed he was a teacher) a huge target for the houseguests. They tried to evict him multiple times, taking out his beloved show partner and real-life girlfriend, Sarah Hrejsa, in the process. But the tough player kept winning the Power of Veto and used his skills at manipulation to pit the two alliances against each other. After his luck finally ran out a week ago, he spoke with TVGuide.com before heading to the sequester house — and showed off a surprisingly softer side.
TVGuide.com: For a bit, it seemed like the two alliances were more concerned about taking each other down than in ousting you.
James Rhine: Unfortunately, they didn't completely forget about me. [My plan] was working for a while. [Later] I felt deep inside that it was a lost cause, but I felt like I was going to try to take out as many people as possible.
TVGuide.com: You sound defeated, but on TV it didn't seem like you gave up hope.
James: Oh, I would never give up hope. I knew that, as bad as it sounds, I was dealing with people who weren't really that intelligent, so they made some of my work easy.
TVGuide.com: At least you made it to the jury, which is pretty good.
James: [Sighs] If I had been knocked out in Week 3, when they were trying to get me out the first time, at least I would have lost competing. That's what bothered me about this backdoor plan — I lost because I was going up against cowards, six people who were scared to compete with me. That is the part that sucks. I didn't go out on my terms; I went out because they were scared of me. HOH is a big responsibility. If you are going to nominate somebody, you'd better have the b---s to stand behind your decision. This backdoor plan.... [Pauses] I'm trying to be nice.... I love competition and I hate poor sports, and I think that was a display of poor sportsmanship.

Checkmate. James Rhine, the all-time Veto winner and 'Big Brother' chess guru, was finally booted on last night's live eviction broadcast. After miraculously escaping the threat of expulsion time and time again, James' luck ran out when he was nominated by April and his attempts to rally the HouseGuests failed miserably. Unable to shake his reputation of being the most devious player in the game, James was handed the opportunity to sit with Julie Chen on the infamous Couch of Shame by the unanimous vote of his fellow HouseGuests.
"These HouseGuests are crazy," James told Chen of how he was able to survive so long in the hostile atmosphere. "They wanted me out real bad and they just kept making worse mistakes than I did. They screwed up more than I so that kept me there for awhile."
Seeing that the surviving Outcast members - Janelle Pierzina and Howie Gordon - are still in the house and he is not, James felt his eviction was not a personal attack but a strategic vote by the HouseGuests to get rid of a serious threat.
To Chen, James maintained that he and Sarah would have remained loyal to The Outcasts Alliance if Howie had not turned on them weeks ago.
"That was one of the turning points. It was probably one of the biggest mistakes he could have made in the game and obviously it hurt my chances," said James, who was arguably the most manipulative and sly player to appear on the series since 'Dr. Evil' Will Kirby and Danielle Reyes. James is now the third member of the 'Big Brother 6' jury. Viewers were treated to footage from the ranch-style house the jury is sequestered in. Jury members Jennifer met Rachel as she arrived and they both watched the events which led up to Rachel's eviction on tape.
