Agghhh!!!! So excited to be playing this game. Looks like I'm gonna be up against good competition, these returnees are good. Everyone I've talked to seems pretty nice, except for James who sort of came off as a d-bag, but then said that was his strategy and told me he's his favorite newbie so far.
The problem is that James has made F3 every time he's played. He's too much of a threat to keep around for a long time. I really don't know who I'd target if I won HOH, and I really don't want that 1st one. Too many people talking to you and trying to get you to do what they want. I don't need that at all right now. Just gotta be nice to everyone and not be seen as a threat.

This twist makes things very interesting. It pretty much ruins the throw an HOH strategy. I think I could be finding myself in that bottom half for awhile, and that's not somewhere I wanna be.

This HOH is really interesting.It could put a huge challenge threat at the bottom of the Power Rankings, and you could get a group together to ensure all of your safety as well as have somebody that won't put you up as HOH.

I was pretty surprised by the HOH results. Finishing so low was disappointing, I tried to talk to as many people as I could, and finishing this low after doing all that just doesn't feel right, especially if I told the 5 people I was working with to put me 2nd finishing. Finishing that low is really surprising, especially since I still tried to socialize with the other people. Hoping Porsche won't put me up.

"An alliance has to have formed by now, and if there is one, I'm not in it. I have a feeling there's a group of veterans together, but I'm not 100% sure. These people know the game, if they all teamed up, they could cause a ton of chaos."

"Right now, I'm just trying to build good relationships with Porsche, talk basic game stuff. If I can just get on her good side, and be friendly, I shouldn't be going up this week."

"OK, so I got put up for not pressuring Porsche over her nominations? OK yeah, that makes sense. Meanwhile Jamie, who's been rather inactive is safe. All Porsche told me was that she was tired and that she had just got out of work, so I let her get some rest and just had a small chat with her. Haha, OK, sure Porsche. Yeah I had a vet vs newbie thing, it was just a feeling, it's not like I actually have power to do anything. Uggh, I just wish there was better reasoning than this, I've been a sociable as I can, and I'm not the only one that thinks there's a veteran thing going on."

"So apparently there's a rumor floating around that I'm going after the winners, when James and Shane are two of my closest allies, and me and Porsche have patched up any bad bridges. The only bad thing is that Shane told me he's not gonna use the veto on me. Gotta start heading onto that campaign trail now, wish me luck."

"I'm going all out to get these votes. This house is so huge, it's tough to remember who and who not I've sent things to, but I think I've got everyone in the house now. Hoping this stretch out could get me what I need to stick around another day."
