OOHHH MAN! The game has started!!! 20 players duking it out to be the BBRNF champ! Right now I'm just gonna try and take it easy, get to know everyone and have fun! Everyone seems to be having a good time and I want to enjoy it while it lasts.
So I was able to get to know some of the HGs last night. I talked to Benedict, Kenny, Heaven, Allison, Ryan, Nick, Lisa...whew that is a lot of people.
Benedict- I can tell that this guy is thinking game 24/7. I got a very competitive vibe from him. From all the people the people I met, he's the one I have my eye on the most atm.
Kenny- Best thing about Kenny is his aim name lol. Cool guy.
Heaven- Super friendly but another person that I can tell will be a big threat later on. She was really nice though and easy to talk to.
Allison- Allison was flipping sweet. We got along really well and she is super duper funny. I hope that I can get to know her more soon.
Ryan- I think I talked to Ryan the most today. It took some time but we kinda broke the ice and talked a lot about interests, life, etc. He seems like a really down to Earth guy. He even kinda joked about us working together (which probably was serious) so yea lol. With a cast of 20 players, I'll take all the help I can get!
Nick- I had a short convo with Nick but he was really funny. I think he's someone that I would get along great with. I can't wait to talk to him again!
Lisa- It was suuuuuuuuuuper short cause gurl was bbq-in. She seems okay! She liked my post so she has great taste
Okay, let me just say that I'm not upset with getting out first in the HOH...
ALTHOUGH I THOUGHT THAT TOPAZ PUTTING THE WRONG KEY IN WAS A SURE INDICATOR OF STUPIDITY BUT WHO AM I TO JUDGE?!
The twist of splitting the houses into two is INSANE! I am stoked though because it kinda takes some pressure off of juggling 19 relationships at once. Now I can focus primarily on the key relationships I have in house 1 while checking in every once in awhile on my peeps in house 2.
I am really stoked that Ryan is in here with me. I think he's the person I can trust 100% right now and someone that will be important for me in order to stay alive in these first few rounds.
I also have been warming up to Lane a lot. We basically told each other that we'll watch each others backs (which is kinda like being engaged before you get married alliance wise.) I think he was sincere about it but who knows. I'll just have to keep my eyes on him and make sure hes down with the Pardy.
Kathy winning HOH is...interesting. We had a nice long convo during the first few days but I definitely need to revisit and water that seed. I want to make sure I get one more good convo with her before noms just so she can feel comfortable with me. I didn't think I was gonna have to turn on my cougar charm but like they say EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED!!!
I was able to run into Kathy this morning and we had a really nice convo. I think she feels very relaxed with me and even asked me what I thought about who to nom (although I hate when HOHs ask me that. ITS YOUR JOB GIRL!!!)
Lane and I are working together, its done. We talked about bring into Memphis and Ryan (which is great for meeeee) but we're gonna let things relax for now. No need to rush anything.
Aaryn/Lisa noms are great. As long as it isn't me! I havent spoken to Aaryn and Lisa went to a bbq and never came back sooooooooooooooooooo
For real though, I'm pretty happy to not play. I don't need no spotlight on Big Jon and winning a veto would certainly do that.
I talked to Memphis today to try and get more connected to him. He dropped the alliance word on me, which took me for surprise! I'm a "get to know you before we get something in writing" kinda guy but HEY I ain't complaining!
Right now I would like Aaryn to stay. She seems the more active of the two and I believe she might target Kathy if she stays, which would cause a lot of commotion in the house!
Memphis, Ryan, Lane, and myself have decided to form the Fraternity (I don't even drink alcohol...but don't tell them :S)
The group formed pretty smoothly and I have really strong individual relationships with the other three guys so I'm feeling good about these first few rounds.
I FINALLY talked to Aaryn and she was actually really really cool! I really really want to keep her in this week because I know she's someone that I can use to pick off some big threats in this house. (Kathy and Ben)
I haven't heard to much about house #2, tbh I think they have a much easier decision over there with Hayley (who is that again???). My biggest allies over there atm are Nick,Michelle, and Kenny. I think right now I'm doing a pretty good job of making friends hahaha I just have to make sure I don't spread myself thin.
Pretty pumped that my boy Ryan grabbed that veto. I just feel sorry for him, he's gonna be dealing with people all night lol. As for me, I think I'm gonna call it a night and see what happens in the morning.
I don't see any reason for Ryan to use the veto. The Frat will control the votes as is which gives us the power to decide who stays and who goes. I'm going to try and push for Aaryn to stay but I won't stick my neck out for her.
