I'm very honored and excited to be a part of this game! Being a "Super Fan," I'm going to embrace every part of the experience. With the possible exception of being nominated but that is probably going to be part of it, as well.
With the luck-based HOH and then the reveal of the group twist, I was probably about 57% nervous. Seeing that our group was not immune and I'm vulnerable this week pushed that to 78%. Talking to Laura for the first time this morning pushed it to 89%.
I felt our conversation started out okay and she did give me a hug when I asked so, that was good. I'm not the best in social situations but at least she didn't laugh in my face.
I didn't get nominated and was breathing much easier. So far so good. I was okay with Jessie and Kevin being noms and happy neither were in our group. I like my group. Well, I liked it more before Renny had to switch out and put Kevin in her place. Now I'm back to being a little more nervous again. I'll just have to try for the veto and hope the noms stay the same.
The people I really like so far:
Jason, Britney, Casey and Day. I'm closest with Jason and Britney but Casey and I have talked some strategy and he made me his bro. I'm a left side, he's a right. I'll let you figure that out. Day is very smart. She's a strategist and she likes to be in charge. I'm fine with that for now. I'm thinking of her like a big sister right now and letting her boss me around. I'm used to that in life. Britney is very sweet and I have a little bit of a crush on her.
The people I like okay so far:
Victoria and Rachel are the house divas but seem fun. Nick is friendly but I think he has a sneaky side. Renny is nice but she didn't do our group any favors by sending Kevin over. She's doing what is best for her game but I will file that away in the back of my mind.
I have to scamper now and try to socialize. I should also prepare my mind for the POV but I promise to fill you in a bit more and hope to get an up-to-the-minute cast assessment in soon.
Can I tell you something? I'm playing a game .... in a parking lot. Perspective. That's the key!

- Victoria seems really sweet. I think the first night I really liked her or at least I wanted to. She calls herself a "Princess" which I understand. She's in character. I can appreciate that. I don't know if she really has a lot to offer, though. She's friendly enough but our conversations so far haven't ever gotten past the initial greeting and small talk stage.
- Jessie seems like the typical meathead guy. I don't know if that's his schtick or if he's really just kinda blah. He was pretty bitter about being nominated and has a different story from what Laura says. I'm not really concerned with who's right, I just like that they are not happy with each other. Discord in the house is good as long as I'm not involved in it. 
- Nick is talkative but mostly we just talk about BB. I'm good with that, it's my favorite subject this summer lol. So far we haven't gotten into any kind of strategy talk. He also was somehow picked by Laura to go to Planet X which makes me think he's good with her or he was just schmoozing her. I can't imagine she made her choices at random. When given the decision to mutiny, he picked Team Saturn over my group. I'm just keeping that in the back of mind. 
- Renny seemed friendly night 1 but was probably my least favorite on my team. That being said, I'm not that sad that she switched off of our team but I don't like that she sent Kevin to us. I guess it could be worse. She could've sent Jessie. My point is, she knew Day's strategy to befriend the team with the nominees and she purposely sent Kevin to us. It just seems underhanded and sneaky in my opinion. I also have to think both Renny and Nick have some kind of connections on this team or they wouldn't have chosen the way they did.
- Laura is a sweetheart. I think I'm in a good spot with her and hope she wouldn't nominate me if the veto is used. We have a little bit of a flirtmance going but it's innocent enough. I ask her for hugs and she asks me for kisses. We both oblige. I don't think she's a very strong competitor but could be someone I'd want to work with long-term. She'd be someone good to take to the end. 
- Jace is growing on me. I find him pretty friendly but have only started talking to him more recently. A few people have mentioned really liking him so I reached out. He's currently watching a documentary on serial killers lol. He could be cool to work with.
- Casey and I hit it off night 1. We talked about "which side" we hang on lol. He's Right Side, I'm Left Side. We talked early about working together and so far the communication has been pretty open. He also said he's gotten into Laura's ear about me. Could be true, who knows. I think Laura likes me regardless but I'll take the help!
- Well, anyone who plays Rachel has a certain mindset going into a game in my opinion. She obviously wants to play the loud Diva role. I don't find her the least bit interesting so far. All of our talks have fizzled. She's probably someone I would consider nominating if I had to choose right now. She could be thinking the same thing, though. I'm going to have to give it a little more effort. I guess. 
- LOVE BRITNEY! She's adorable, sweet, cute. She's my game crush. I've been flirting it up with her a lot. I won't act on it in the house, though. I'm not into a showmance. Maybe if we both end up in the jury house...but not with cameras on us 24/7 and not while we're still playing the game. I also have heard a few other people say they really like her too so I know she's going to fill the role of the house sweetheart. 
- Jen is someone I didn't talk too much too at first. We had a very short convo on Premiere Night but nothing since until today. I found her easier to talk to. A lot of other people really like her, too, so I'm keeping that in mind.
- Caleb seems cool. Somebody told me he said that about me, too. Casey maybe? I feel like I keep repeating myself because I had a short convo with him on opening night but not much since. He's friendly, though. I think he's a good guy.
- Alison is someone I didn't speak to until today, but by the end of our conversation I had spent $50 lol. Allow me to explain: She started telling me about this school project about whales and orcas. This is something I'm very interested in having recently watched the film Blackfish. If you haven't watched it, you should! Long story short but, we had a long convo about it and I ended up adopting an Orca named Fife who lives in the Pacific Northwest. Then she told me about this recent reality stars event and a bunch of fights that happened lol. She's fun to talk to. I like her a lot!
- A bit nerdy but overall a decent guy. 
- Mama Day! I like her. She's bossy as heck lol! But, she's like my big sis. We get along just fine but I do know she's the type who is in this to win it. She's coming on super strong lol. She had strategy ready to go as soon as our teams were formed. I'd rather have her with me against me, lol. 
- Jason is a cool guy! I think so far he's my #1. We clicked on night 1 and it seemed to flow easily. We've talked about working together and so far I trust him the most. It's just a gut feeling.
- Kevin was dumped on our team and we had a brief talk. Not that impressed so far. We'll see what happens. I know he's been busy but I'm hoping he's going to be around more in the future. 
My score..ugh. At least I finished!
