Week 0: Think About How To Think

[craig]

I think I'm going to keep it a secret about how little I've watched BB, only because that'll make me an outsider. I know all my terms, HoH, PoV, and nominees and such. I just gotta hope that no one talks about past seasons or something. If they do, I'll make shit up.

Really pumped though! I got great news this morning about my personal life so I was in a great mood all day, and then this game started. Nothing like being in a good mood during the start of a game. I hope it makes my social game stronger since I'm all giddy.

Wish me luck! Will post more often then usual since my boss actually lowered my hours for a change! SUCH a welcome change compared to Shadow Survivor, when my boss was fucking me with hours. I'll need the hours tho. 16 people is crazy. I'm used to tribes or 6! AT MOST, 10! I gotta adjust big time. Do I go for the "wide" approach, talk to everyone a little bit, or the "tall" approach, talk to a few people a lot.

I'll be thinking ON THE FLY for this game!

Holy shit I got so scared! I was like "HOW DOES SHE KNOW??"

Day one is drawing to a close and I'm super pumped to play the game. I had a slow start, meeting about half of the people who signed up. I never go full throttle in one night because it makes my conversations I am having a little harder to deal with. So far my favorites are...

1) Shilpa
2) Anthony Drew
3) Rachelle
4) Nick
5) Christine
6) Monet

I still have quite a few people that I need to meet! That'll be for tomorrow.

As everyone has hit the bed, I just need to think about what I want to do and accomplish in this game. I know very little about big brother, but I don't have much time or patience to watch a whole season of Big Brother, so I've been doing some reading instead on how to play a good Big Brother game. For one, competitions are crucial. I need to win a few competitions and crack a few eggs to do well in this game. Another option is the 'floater' method, not sticking too close to a single strong group would take the target off of my back.

Basically, just like Survivor, there isn't really a set science into doing well for Big Brother. I think I'm going to not read anything about the show anymore, because I want to try to make a fresh perspective out of what I'm doing. I just need to do a few things: stay social, don't try to own the game. I'm going to wing the rest one week at a time.

Wish me luck! Signing off for tonight.

Good luck from Kass!

Thanks Kass! I'm not as sorry about your untimely exit but it was definitely untimely! Good game

Ahhhhhh day 2 of the house started well! I woke up early and made my favorite breakfast for the house, cinnamon toast crunch! I made it in a large bowl and shared to the fellow houseguests, but I don't think it went over that well. A lot of it was soggy and I used a lot of milk. Oh well! It's hard to cook for 16 people so they'll deal with it.

As I make my rounds in the house, I keep a mental note of each individual I meet this far. The game has started long ago, but I haven't met everyone quite yet! It's hard, because what if they win HoH? I'm in trouble then, right? Right you are! So I gotta make sure I know everyone at least a little bit before walking into this coming HoH competition. It's hard, with Tahan and Jillian being comatose, so it's still a work in progress!

I've met some great people so far though. I'll go through them all, because this is my confessional and I do what I want! I will skip those who I have not met and clump them in at the end. 

After an iffy start on Christine, where she sends me a message and then dissapears, she has turned around for me and chatted me up. I wouldn't say she's a great individual or a favorite or anything like that, but she's nice and normal. We got into our hobbies and she can hold a conversation fairly well. Everything you would expect out of your typical human being. Christine is exceptionally average! Not in a boring way!




Chris is pretty swell and all, but the guy takes a few minutes to respond to your typical Pm. This makes me lose interest quickly. To give you an idea of his average message, he was talking to me today as I was eating lunch. I ate lunch for roughly 30 minutes, and got 4 messages tossed back and forth during that time with him. It's oddly consistent too, he takes roughly the same amount of time every time. Nice guy, I get good vibes from him, but that's what Chris does!



Drew is my favorite so far. He's very easy to talk to, asks questions, and can be interesting. I would rank up #1 if I had to rank everyone right this very moment. Our chats range from dating to booze and I really like where our chats are going! We were chatting once about our avatars, and he said things along the lines of "The person I'm playing as has too long hair, not attractive" and I said something like "I agree", and he asked if I was gay or a woman. I told him I was bisexual, but in reality I'm straight. I just agreed with him so he'll like me more. Impressing people is hard!



Pretty shitty communicator not gonna lie. Basically our convos go like this: I say hey, 20 minutes, he says hey. I say whats up, 40 minutes later, he says ntm just eating u? 



Another really shitty communicator. It's like these people never had to rely on a social encounter in their lives.



I wouldn't put her on the level of Harry or Ika, but Ivette was still fairly unresponsive and it took a lot to get her talking. We finally settled on bashing the grammys and Sam Smith, however once the conversation got actually good she left. Wasn't meant to be, I suppose!



Another bad communicator lol P: Maybe it's me




I liked my chat with Nick! I haven't seen him online at all today, but he was probably busy. I kinda noticed he liked to talk about himself and some game or something. Hey, talking about yourself is way better then not talking at all. At least he was interesting when he talked about himself.




She's great! CLOSE second after Drew, Shilpa is a fun girl who stays up the same time I do. She has great taste in anything and everything, and she can carry a conversation. If I had a wet dream of alliances, it would include her, Chris, and Drew. And myself of course!

Having a great time so far! I've been a little crazy with my confessionals but it's just such a fun change to me, playing a BB game instead of a Survivor game, so I'm having a great time with it. Expect to hear from me often! I noticed in the post count that I was posting like... quite a bit more then the others, so I'm just going to guess that I'm your favorite and that's all fine and dandy! Root 4 me! I still need to meet the following: Ash, Dan, Hayden, Jillian, and Tahan. I plan on doing so throughout tomorrow, meeting at least 3 of them! Wish me luck!
