 Welcome to my diary room!
Thank you again Julie and Arisa for picking me to play. Hopefully I won't let you down! Right now, everyone is just kind of getting to know one another. Laura is the HoH but she has not been on AIM tonight yet - so I have no idea what is going to happen, nomination-wise. I'm assuming she is going to want to talk to her team before nominations? So maybe focus on the #TeamVenus people tonight.
I am on #TeamJupiter and I like my team for the most part. I clicked with Britney right away so I'm happy we're on the same team. Jen is nice and I think she'll be quite active too. Caleb is the only person I haven't talked to from my group yet but it's still super early. I don't think he is at his computer/AIM right now.
The first night of games is always so over-whelming. You have the entire cast to meet and sometimes conversations run short because you're trying to get in face time with as many people as you can. A lot of times with the first week - the person who is most perceived as "inactive" is usually the person to be targeted. So I need to make sure that's not me. |

So I'm talking to Laura... mostly small talk stuff but she asked me if I wanted to go to Planet X. So I'm hoping that's a good sign that I'm safe with her? I'm pretty excited about being one of the first people to take part in this twist. I'm hoping I get something good - would love to get a big power but if it's not something I can use this week - I think that could put an early target on me. So we'll see how it goes. I'm feeling pretty good - I'm trying to be as social as I can for the time being. It is a bit hard trying to juggle 15 conversations + the group chat but I think I'm doing a decent job right now.
Also, I finally started talking to Caleb and I really like him. I have a good feeling about Team Jupiter! |

I can't believe I got mandatory mutiny! I guess it's not the worst thing I could have gotten - probably would have been more useful down the line somewhere, like if I piss off an entire team - just switch over to them and then they can't do anything, lol. I'm hoping this doesn't put a target on my back - and I don't think it will because it's so early and the teams probably aren't super firm with one another yet anyway. Between the two - I felt safer with the people from Neptune - so I figured Team Saturn would probably be better because the only person there I've really connected with has been Victoria. So there was definitely some strategy behind picking the team I did - even if it is super early.
I am a bit sad that I am now split from Britney - because we had a really good connection last night and I seem to get along good with Caleb. I'm hoping they will still see me as a potential ally. I think they will. I think people will probably align more closely to people outside their teams anyway - since they're already safe with the people in their own teams. Maybe I can use this to make a more firm alliance with those two. "Even though I'm not Team Jupiter anymore, you're still safe with me!" etc. |

So Laura comes to me this morning and says that she wants an alliance between her, Victoria, Jace, Renny, Jason, and myself. While I like all of those people, it was the most random thing in my mind for Laura to suggest. Victoria and I discussed this and we both find it very shady and a bit scary that she's playing so hard. Obviously, we're going to agree to this - because I mean, why would you deny the current HOH when they're asking you for an alliance? It would be ridiculous. But I don't know how loyal I would be to that group of 6. When Victoria and I spoke, she mentioned that she loves Britney and that me and her are the only two that she really gets along with on a personal level so far. So I'm very happy that two of the people that I'm closest to so far are also good with one another! I think I'm doing pretty decently socially - multiple people have told me they get a good vibe from me and enjoy talking to me. So if I can play that up and just be social and friendly with everyone - the first half of this game could be very easy for me.
As far as these nominations go - it did scare me that initially both nominees were from my team - that is, until Renny switched with Kevin. Could you imagine if she switched with me? LOL. 3 teams in less than 1 day - a true PLANET WHORE <3 Hahahaha. That said, both Jessie and Kevin have been distant with me since the start of the game. Jessie, moreso. I will give Kevin credit that he at least tries. But Jessie, our conversations die so quickly and he never IMs me first. The few times we've spoken - it was me IMing him. & he questioned why I chose his team - almost in an accusatory way. I don't know, it was weird. But........ he is on my team. So even if something is off about him - he still has to keep me safe if he wins HOH. The problem with this also, is that there could be more mandatory mutinies out there. That, and I don't think I would have the house's support to keep him anyway. Laura wants him out and I don't think he's very social with a lot of people. Maybe I can craft this in a way with Kevin, where if these nominations stick and I keep him - he'll see that I kept him over someone on my team. I'll probably look a little more favorable in his eyes. |

Also alias-wise, I think I'm doing pretty well. This is really my first alias game in a long time. My last one was a year ago but that was my first ORG in two years - so figuring I wouldn't know anyone (which I didn't), it was a little easy because I mostly was just myself. Then I played in two all-star games back to back (which had almost identical casts, it felt like one exhausting four month game). So now playing this, I have to be very conscious about my alias and what I say to people about myself. For example, when talking about Big Brother - I can't be as pro-Vanessa as I usually am. I don't know if any of you are on or follow Rise and Fall All Stars - but I'm like the token Vanessa stan in the BB17 thread LOL. So when people talk about Big Brother to me - I have to pretend to be mad that Jackie isn't back and that Vanessa is "crazy" (WHEN SHE'S REALLY A BB QUEEN AND WINNER IN THE MAKING!) Also I have decided to tell people that I'm still in college - because those who know me, know that I'm a recent grad. I think that's really the extent that people will ask about personal possibly-identifying information. So I think I have my bases covered. |

So as you guys know, Laura made the 6 person alliance chat (the Bad Blood alliance = Laura, Me, Victoria, Renny, Jace, Jason). It was so awkward, nobody really talked in it. :x The way Laura went about it was so shady, lmao. She makes the chat and then immediately wants names for a replacement nominee if one had to be made (and now one does -.-). Nobody said anything - and then she mentions that she wants to put up Jen. Hmmm. I don't have the greatest relationship with Jen yet but it is odd that she wants to target Jen - when you have Alison here who is on the verge of being removed. I haven't spoken to her since the first night and that was for 5 minutes. All she did was complain about her 1 cent score in the first HOH.
I'm not a fan of this alliance. It was mostly just Laura pointing at us and saying "HEY YOU FIVE! YOU'RE IN AN ALLIANCE WITH ME NOW!" - Like she didn't even feel anyone out or ask for opinions of who others wanted in the alliance. It's an interesting way to play to say the least. But obviously since this was so poorly put together - it's going to leak at some point. I need to be ahead of it so people trust me. I talked to Victoria and she doesn't really trust it either. So we decided that since we both really like Britney - we would tell her. So Victoria and I both told Britney about the alliance and the three of us affirmed that we trust each other and we're together.
I also told Caleb because he is someone that I've really clicked with since the start. Britney and Caleb were the 2 people that I wanted to tell because I didn't want them to distrust me if/when this leaks out to the rest of the house. This could be what leaks it, lmao but for right now, I trust them. I feel like I can save face with everyone if it does come out but I wanted those two to be in-the-know about it. And I'm not saying that I don't like the people in the bad blood alliance - Renny is really sweet, Jace is really fun to talk to, and I think Jason is a really nice guy. It's just I don't like the way this alliance was constructed. I could see myself working with all of those people, but on a more 1-on-1 basis. As a group, just randomly put together, it doesn't work. |

Okay, Bye Alison.
So apparently, there was an argument last night after many logged off for the night between Laura and Jessie. Kevin told Laura that Jessie was throwing her under the bus and she was trying save face with him but it turned into an argument. If it's about her nominating him, what did he really expect? From a personal standpoint, he never speaks to me and I've heard the same from others. I would be more sympathetic if he at least tried but nope. If his veto score is any indicator of his competition abilities, I wonder if he thinks he can just slide by on competition wins. I would want him to leave soon tbh. But the good thing is that even though we have no relationship, we are on the same team - so if he can pull off HOH wins, I'm safe regardless.
Renny and I discussed the bad blood alliance last night and she doesn't trust it either. We made a 1-on-1 agreement with another that we're going to work together and look out for one another. I really like her. I feel like I'm on really good terms with a lot of people - but there are people I need to work on my relationship a little bit more such as Jen and Rachel. |

Okay, so....
Going into this HOH, I was unsure if I wanted to win it or not. With the team dynamic and the golden keys - it really limits my options. It makes me so mad that Jessie go all people got the golden key for my team. He basically cornered me, saying he wouldn't be here for the challenge. So if I fight him on it - I'm the asshole in that situation. and Renny just agreed to it. I know Jessie is a target for a lot of people and I wanted him in the nomination batch to help my chances of NOT going on the block. But whatever. I'm pretty sure I'm good this week.
So this HOH competition, wow. I'm still drained, lmao. It may not have looked flashy on the board but it was so exhausting. I really did not want to hit anyone because honestly, I don't even know who I would hit. I feel like I'd be good with a lot of people winning this - so I didn't want to make any unnecessary enemies by targeting people in the 2nd HOH of the season! That said, Kevin and Jen were the two people I wanted out because I have no idea what they would do if they won HOH. Kevin is barely around and Jen, I just have trouble creating a relationship with her. It's weird. Kevin takes out Jen, and then Kevin is my only worry. But then Jace takes him out right after and both of my question marks are removed from the competition! After that, it was a little more relaxing. I would log on the board every few minutes from my phone and didn't fall asleep until 4am. I realized that with a lot of golden keys about (and possibly more from Planet X) - winning the HOH might not be in my best interest because I have a very limited group of people to choose from.
Da'Vonne really pissed me off during the challenge - posting those gifs. Her and Kevin clearly worked together. Whenever he would post a shooting target, there was Da'Vonne with a gif in the next post. Okay. You're safe, girl. You have a golden key. Why make enemies? I don't know, I get a weird vibe from her. Renny told me last night that Da'Vonne wanted our teams to look out for one another but I was hesitant because Kevin is someone I would nominate if I won. Renny felt the same way. But we agreed to just tell Day what she wants to hear. Da'Vonne finally brought this plan to me tonight - and I agreed with it to her face. If it can save Renny this week, of course I'm going to do it! But honestly, I don't think that is something I woulds stick to. Da'Vonne could be a target for me in the upcoming rounds.
Renny did say also that she doesn't expect me to use the veto if I win it, which is a big weight off my shoulders. I honestly would like to use it but I don't want to put Jace in that situation, he wants nominations to stay the same.
Speaking of Renny, she told me that she would want me/her/Britney as a firm alliance. It's funny because Britney/Myself/Victoria are an alliance and Caleb mentioned to me how he wanted a Me/Britney/Him alliance as well. Me and Britney really are the JON AND JACKLYN of this game so far <3 haha but Caleb did bring up a good point about Britney to me. She totally seems like the person that everyone is going to fall in love with. And I really do think there is a lot more to her game than just being nice to people. But that said, I do think her and I are tight gamewise right now. So while she might be favorable with others, I do think she will be loyal to me.
So Jace wins HOH - and I feel like I'm good with him. We talked a lot during the challenge last night and I feel like he will not put me up. I get a good vibe from him. Ideally, I would like to see Jen leave this week because she is just a huge question mark to me. She seems active - always in the chat yet we can't get past small talk when we eventually do have a conversation together.
Also, I keep forgetting that Angie exists, lmao. Every time she IMs me, I'm just like "oh shit, right - new girl" (BBCAN2 reference!). She seems sweet though. I'm so tired right now so this entry is probably a mess LOL. But I wanted to write one before I fell asleep. |

I haven't done a DR in three days. It's been pretty low-key - just been working it socially. Trying to get closer to Jason and Jace - both seem like cool guys and keep good relationships with Caleb, Britney, Victoria, and Renny. Likewise, I'm in that fake Saturn/Neptune "agreement." So I think I have my bases covered.
Jen was evicted. Bye. Very happy Renny stayed because she's one of my closest allies and she's on my team. I was a bit nervous because I didn't know how well Jen had ingrained herself socially. Maybe it was just me she wasn't talking to? But no. So... that worked out well for me.
and now Caleb is the new HOH which I am thrilled about because I've been close to him since the first week! We discussed nominations and I think he's going to do Jessie/Angie - which is perfect! I know Jessie is team saturn, but I want him out so bad. He barely even speaks to me, I have no clue where his head is at. Something just seems so off about him. I can't put my finger on it but I do not trust this guy at all. Caleb wants him out too I believe, saying it would be a waste to take out Angie. And I agree. For someone who came in late, she's not making a huge effort to be social with a lot of people. I understand that it's overwhelming, but jeez.
If Jessie goes this week - it leaves targets in the game for me to go after if I win HOH. Notably Kevin/Angie. Those would be my nominations if I win next round. Maybe Da'Vonne but if she thinks I'm with her for the time being - maybe I can play into that, I don't know. Rachel too, since my conversations with her die rather quickly. She seems sweet though and probably doesn't have a lot of allies at this point? |

I hope this HOH is something that I'm good at because I really want a win. I'd love to target Kevin. Kevin/Rachel or Kevin/Angie would be my nominations. Da'vonne as a possible back door target - but I don't know if I would do her as a nominee initially. If she thinks I'm on her side, then why mess with that? Let someone else take her out since apparently she has a large bulls-eye on her. and Kevin is an easy target because I don't think he has any connections with anyone. I haven't talked to him in days. It gives me the HOH power, the ability to create stronger ties with people from a position of power, and take out someone that results with zero blood on my hands. I want this HOH. |

WELL RACHEL MADE AN ENEMY OUT OF ME. Congratulations, someone in this game now hates you.  Okay maybe not hate, but I want her out ASAP. She picked me to go up in the competition like the second round. This is when we still have Kevin, the guy who hasn't logged on AIM in over a week still in the game. Really? She is without a doubt the hardest person to talk to in this game. I've tried but our conversations never go anywhere and apparently it's like that with a lot of people with her. She's safe this week but in the upcoming rounds, she is my clear target. Also Steve kinda called me out today for picking him the competition. I basically told him the truth - I thought he could beat Rachel in the challenge and he did. But I think he took it more as a move against him and it really was not. Casey as HOH isn't bad. I get along with him personally and I think he likes me and I like him. It's just we don't talk a lot of game. But I think my social connection with him is keeping me safe this round. Not only that, he put up two people I wanted to see up without me having to get any blood on my hands. A lot of people want Da'Vonne gone but I know she doesn't like Rachel. So maybe her staying isn't terrible for me? But I feel like she's burned a lot of bridges so far. But I want to see if I can instigate a Da'Vonne/Rachel rivalry - and boot Kevin. I don't want Kevin in this game anymore. Why keep him around if he doesn't talk to many people? What happens if he stumbles into an HOH win? It could happen. When he and Rachel were out of the competition, I could breathe a little easier.
So yeah, we'll see what happens this round! |

So I wanted to get rid of Kevin last week - but I didn't want to piss anyone off and it wasn't worth it just to keep Da'Vonne who was a wild card. Well, look how that worked out for me. Of course with my luck, the guy who is never on AIM wins the HOH! OF COURSE! I knew I would be going up. I did have to laugh at his reasoning though because he IS NEVER ON AIM. He went a full week without ever logging on. He's absolutely ridiculous. But I can't freak out because I'm up against Rachel, who is a target of mine and I think if these nominations stick, I would for sure stay against her - so I can't make a big fuss. I wanted to drag Kevin in the nomination thread, but I kept it cool
Jace told me that Kevin wants Rachel out bad and doesn't even care if I win veto. Sweet. These picks are AWESOME for me. Because I'm good with Jace, Renny, and Caleb. I honestly think they could use it on me if they win or they could even throw it to me, maybe? Even if Kevin wins it and nominations stay the same, that's okay. Although gag at Kevin winning another competition. The only one who cannot win is Rachel. Please, please, PLEASE BB GODS, LET RACHEL LOSE THIS POV TOMORROW NIGHT.
Oh and Jase told me that Kevin said that I have actively ignored his IMs. WHAT THE FUCK? No I haven't! We haven't spoken in weeks and he never IMs me. hsjkfahsjfkhajkfhakjhsjakhfjk HE WAS NEVER ON AIM AT ALL UNTIL RECENTLY. GIRL, BYE. Please let me stay and get his ass out next. |

So POV was a bust for me. I feel dumb for not being able to get it, lol. But I'm so happy that Rachel did not win. She was really pissing me off in the chat. First she was snippy about getting the challenge started when others had questions. Then she acts like a poor sport when she loses. Well, thank you for making everyone's decision easier, Rach. Kevin told me that I am safe - but I already knew that. All I need is five votes - which I know I have. Not to sound cocky, but I think I would have almost every vote this week for Rachel to go. Britney, Renny, Victoria, Jace, Caleb, Jason, and Casey I think are all the people who would 100% keep me at this point. Steve, I'm like 85% sure of, lol. Angie? I have no clue but I think she would just go with the majority. So I think this could work out for me.
I really hope I can pull off a win with this next HOH. I know Kevin would be my target but coming up with a 2nd nominee is hard, considering almost everyone is potentially keeping me. Maybe Angie because it seems to be an easy nomination. But I'm getting ahead of myself here. I need to work on staying this week. I'm going to play it cool and not do what Da'Vonne did and drown herself. I'm gonna rely on Rachel to do that to her own game.

Okay, so yay. I stayed! But I got two votes against me, which means that there are two shady motherfuckers in this game! Everyone but Steve told me I had their votes to stay and I really do feel like Steve was one of the two votes to evict me. The other? I have no idea. I think maybe Casey? But I base this off of nothing. I feel like Steve and Casey are close. I'm not too stressed out about it right now though - because even if Steve wins HOH, he can't touch me! We're on the same team. I feel good with most people going into this HOH but I want to win it. Kevin would obviously go up - but I don't know who else I would do? Do I go the safe route and put up Angie? or do I go for Casey? If it's Kevin/Casey up, I don't know right now which one of them I would want to leave.
I'm gonna do this challenge in a few hours - hoping I can finally pull off a win!
and omg, the comeback twist! Oh gosh. At first I mis-read it and thought a pre-juror was coming back. And I just thought to myself, "OH Shit. Day gonna be out for BLOOD" LOL. But then I re-read and a juror is coming back  That's crazy! But at least if I do somehow get evicted in the next four rounds, I'll have a chance to comeback! |

BEAST MODE!
Super pumped that my boy Caleb won this! I know I would have been safe with him regardless if I was on his team or not. But it's still refreshing to know that I have immunity for the week. I still wish I had won, I was close-ish. I have no idea what he wants to do for nominations though. I'm hoping his game objectives are close to mine, but I don't know if we're close to the same people or not. We're just close with each other.
Victoria told me today that if she had won she wants to backdoor Steve. We're so in sync <3 Steve would be a target of mine but I can't do anything as long as he's on my team. I still feel like he would target me. After the eliminator HOH, he made a comment about how I chose him to go up in one of the duels. I think he still holds that against me tbh. He's smart and I could see him being good at challenges down the line, so going into the DE - I hope he is the one to go. I'm hoping/wishing teams will be dissolved for the DE and I can be the one to do it. But if not, I just hope I can get SOMEONE to do it.
and I still have Kevin as a target too, don't think I forgot about him! I'm hoping I can kinda push Caleb to a Kevin nomination or a Casey nomination :x But we'll see how that goes! |
