Round 1 - "Basic Fundamentals"

[Ryan Quicksall]

So I didn't have my mouse for this PoV so I don't have high hopes of winning it. I would like to just to see what deals I could come across, but now knowing who Aaryn is, it might not be in my best interest. It wouldn't be smart for me to take either of the nominees down and I don't need to.

I'm curious if the whole house still votes as one or if the votes are side relative. Also, will the HoH's swap sides now? Will the nominees swap after we find out who survives? Endless possibilities really; could be fun! I definitely feel the need to amp up my game though. A lot of people are ahead of me in terms of contacting people socially.

Anyways, sorry for the jumbled video. 2am=rambles. Hopefully they are good rambles or at least insightful because I doubt they're entertaining.

Thanks for the vid. I liked it!

[Ryan Quicksall]

Apparently there is also a Lisa in this game that I have failed to contact to this point. God, I suck!

[Ryan Quicksall]

Topaz is seriously the worst person to talk to ever.

Topaz Emerald (10:44:30 PM): Hey Ryan!

Ryan Quicksall (10:44:30 PM): Away

Topaz Emerald (10:45:02 PM): we went out to the planting fields
Topaz Emerald (10:45:09 PM): my mom is a horticulture fanatic

Topaz Emerald (10:53:32 PM): same

One word responses and some of them weren't just one word, but they were shortened versions of that one word. If there is something that says "I don't want to talk," it's those types of responses.

Topaz Emerald (12:04:59 PM): Hey Ryan

Ryan Quicksall (12:05:47 PM): hey Topaz!
Ryan Quicksall (12:05:49 PM): what's going on?

Topaz Emerald (12:06:59 PM): doing gooooood watching Masterchef I missed last night

Ryan Quicksall (12:07:23 PM): I've never watched it I don't think
Ryan Quicksall (12:07:28 PM): I've watched Chopped though
Ryan Quicksall (12:07:42 PM): is Masterchef the one where they can take away the other people's stuff to make it harder for them?

Topaz Emerald (12:07:48 PM): its similar to that, but more contestants
Topaz Emerald (12:07:57 PM): lol yea they do that sometimes

Ryan Quicksall (12:08:23 PM): then I think I know what show you're talking about hah

We haven't even talked any game! The only conversation about BB we have had is where she told me what her character was infamous for! Then proceeded to say it wasn't so bad for her friend who got screwed and it would be far worse if that happened when they were playing for a million dollars! THE DUDE LOST LIKE 75 GRAND! I'd be pissed knowing I would have won if it weren't for one airhead move.

Sigh...Topaz is not the social one of the group. Wouldn't be surprised if she got eliminated relatively soon. She seems to be this way with a lot of people, but I'm wondering if it's because she feels 150% secure with other people or if it's just because she's a bad social player. Time will tell.

[Ryan Quicksall]

So I won the PoV!! AWESOME!!!! My first win in 3 BB games. Ladies, don't all jump at me at once!

So when I won this thing, the MINUTE I hit aim, I got a swarm of messages! I didn't even know I had won it -- a few people spoiled it for me, those jerks!! Anyway, I'm glad to have this thing I guess because it means nothing odd can take place out of my control. Who knows what crazy people might have something planned this early in the game. I don't care to find out right now and I like the way things are.

So obviously week 1 is a hard one because maybe there is someone you should target to prevent nasty things happening in the future, but because of inactive people, your hand is forced. I don't see that now, but basically what I'm saying is there is no reason for me to change the noms. I think Kathy could be a good ally and I don't think she wants to make another enemy two of which would stay in the house within the first round. I don't want to make her do that either and have her pissed with me. So I don't change noms and we both win. I feel like she has an easy HoH in the sense that she put the two people up the house wanted because neither of them were around much. It worked out for everyone I guess so she would not want to have to put another person up who has been around and talking. Plus, I have three guys on my side in this house that I need moving forward and pulling a nom off puts them in danger. Not something I should do right now. It wouldn't make any strategical sense for me to change things even taking mine and Aaryn's interesting relationship into account. She can fend for herself right now and I'm not giving her a get of jail free card just because I found out who she was.

What was funny to me is that once I got this thing around my neck, people who weren't so chatty before all of a sudden became my best friend. I've never won anything in BB, but I've seen this on the show. It's fun being in this position, though the first week it's hard because I don't get many deals out of it. I made it clear to Aaryn I won't be removing her, but simply because I heard Lisa will be getting the most votes here. Which, by the way, I didn't even know the other nom. This convo is embarrassing; people are going to think I'm an idiot:

Ryan Quicksall 10:32 pm
well I hope Aaryn won't expect me to use it on her
we talked a lot the other night
but I think Alison will go easy anyway
so I don't want to mess with anything

Lane Elenburg 10:34 pm
Alison?

Ryan Quicksall 10:37 pm
wait
no

Lane Elenburg 10:37 pm
lol

Ryan Quicksall 10:37 pm
who is our other girl?
dangit
that blonde girl

Lane Elenburg 10:37 pm
hahahaha
Lisa!!

Ryan Quicksall 10:38 pm
who is that?!!
=-O
the brown haired girl right?

Lane Elenburg 10:39 pm
haha yea man

Ryan Quicksall 10:39 pm
I haven't even talked to her or seen her

Ryan Quicksall 10:39 pm
who are these people!!

Lane Elenburg 10:39 pm
lmao!!

Ryan Quicksall 10:39 pm
I know like 8 of them!!
I didn't even know a Keith was playing until the memory wall came up
this is bad
they keep popping up like little imps

Lane Elenburg 10:40 pm
well lets just knock them back down!

I really need to figure out who these people are. I should study or something because I look like a dork!

I consulted Kathy and my guys about this and they all would prefer I don't use it. So I guess this will just go in the books under a win for me which is fine enough!

There was one red flag though which is when Kathy told me she would prefer Lisa goes over Aaryn because "Lisa is a bigger threat". What?!?! Maybe I'm used to Survivor, but I just won a competition and now Kathy is saying she wants to go for threats. I heard this would happen and that the threats in the game would be the ones taken out early, but it's a bit new to me. I also don't find Lisa threatening at all because I haven't seen the chick online once. The votes going to Lisa benefit me a lot more than people will realize so I won't fight it, but knowing that I could potentially be on people's radars just because I won this comp now is a bit unnerving. I will have to watch myself I guess. Just make sure that I don't come off too threatening.
