Just so everyone isn't confused with the random rumours and love poems - we were all playing Truth or Dare in a group chat. I thought it was pretty boring but this happened to be the highlight:
Craig (8:21:07 PM): Christine! Truth or dare!
Craig (8:21:48 PM): If truth - Tell us a dirty secret, not sexually, but like muddy or something
if dare - make a post in the livingroom asking Kat to take down the britney playlist.
She went with truth.
Christine (8:29:02 PM): okay, so dirty little secret: I pretend to be on my phone to avoid talking to people all the time

Hello, Big Brother!
Gosh, It felt like we were in that pre-game limbo for an eternity! And of course once things do pick up we aren't allowed to talk about it. Luckily, most of us have been getting to know one another through various games in group chats. From "Truth or Dare" to "Never Have I Ever" I've come to the conclusion that I'm trapped in this house with a strange group of people. I've enjoyed getting to know most people so far so I thought I'd share just a few of my thoughts:
Drew has likely made the best first impression on everyone if I had to make a guess. He started the group chat and has been encouraging everyone to participate. He may be fun and entertaining but I have a feeling that all the laughter will stop once he gets ticked off. Christine seems rather simple yet easy to talk to so far. Her character choice could suggest that she's willing to do anything to get to end. Craig is someone I've had good conversations with and he seems like he could be a good strategic player. Anyone who picks to play as Dan should raise some flags as many consider him to be the best ever so my first instinct was to watch out for him however he seems rather bland and slow to respond so I don't think there's much to worry about on that front. I'm expecting great things from Ika however I think I may end up being disappointed because she suffers from grammatical errors too much. Definitely not as Ikafied as the real deal. Conversations have been fine with her though. Ivette seems to love to socialize as she messages whenever she has the chance. I hate it when everyone is conversing in a group chat and then you have that one person who wants to have private conversations at the same time. Monet is nice enough I guess but she needs to be around more. Shilpa is probably my favourite houseguest to talk to at this point - everyone just comes natural. I would hope she feels the same way about me but I'll just wait for now to see where things go. I've briefly spoken with Ash, Christopher, Harry and Nick so they will need to pick up their activity as others have noticed they aren't around much either. Jillian, Hayden and Sheila are nowhere to be seen but based on character choices I would expect a competitive liar, a dumb dumb and a trolly mom.
Long paragraph and rainbow colours for the win!
Winning the first HoH isn't a priority as of right now as I think I will most likely be good for this week, however I wouldn't mind winning as decision are usually simple in the beginning and it forces people to talk to me so I can figure who the best options as far as allies go. I have no idea what this twist could be. My mind is going bananas trying to think about it so I've decided to stop. The only thing I can think of is some sort of saboteur role in the house. I'm assuming it's something beneficial to whoever gets the most votes as a bad twist for just one person seems stupid.
Ash, Christine, Christopher, Dan, Harry and Rachelle all answered in the majority and are eliminated from the competition. Jillian did not answer the question correctly and is also eliminated.
I hate being out on the first question but apparently I was in the "majority" so I shouldn't have been eliminated. Get it together, GM! How on earth could Jillian have not answered that correctly? Lol, I'm really curious to see how she tackled choosing between two options.
I'm happy with Shilpa winning as I talk to her the most and her noms weren't surprising at all since there really is a big gap in activity amongst the houseguests. I would say myself, Christine, Craig, Drew, Ika, Ivette and Shilpa are the most active with Christopher, Dan and Monet middle of the road and the rest rarely make an appearance. The good thing about this is that it should buy me a few weeks to make stronger bonds and plan for the future. The bad thing is that it makes for a boring season unless someone decides to shake things up - which is where the MVP comes into play. I don't know why I didn't think of that twist - maybe cause I've blocked most of BB15 out of my mind. I was one of the few who enjoyed the MVP twist though.
Drew told me that he was awarded MVP which doesn't surprise me at all since everyone seems to love him. He nominated Hayden who hasn't made an appearance on aim yet so I'm fine with that. I'm sure he told all the other active players as well which is smart as that builds trust with them. Drew's a top dog so I'll need to keep an eye on him. Since it's predetermined each week I doubt we'll be voting for MVP all the time which makes things interesting. I wouldn't mind throwing a few curve balls here and there to keep everyone on their toes. Can the HoH win MVP in the same week??

I'm going to try and be really paranoid this time around as I tend to get too comfortable once I'm in alliances and such. Gotta watch out for Drew - everyone seems to like him as evident with his MVP win. How long will the active players be all goody goody? Why is Mariah not on the main staff - is she playing? Why is Ika not as Ikafied as the real one? Does she actually think Jillian picked her to play like she told me or is she unaware that it's randomly generated? Is SheBot really as crazy as she seems? Will Tom ever catch Jerry? I want answers.

Nick being expelled was expected so ttyn. This whole #vote2save twist is neat as it puts a different spin on things. I'd imagine it's strange asking people to vote for you instead of campaigning not to so it shall be interesting to see how things play out. As far as this week's vote goes, it's somewhat of a toss up as neither Jillian nor Hayden has made an appearance on aim yet. Shilpa prefers Jill to leave as does Ika and Sheila told me she's voting Hayden. I think Jill will end up leaving but I might throw my vote at Hayden just because. Jill has posted more on the board and seems nice and that's all I really have to go by. Shilpa did tell me that Hayden PMed her asking her to keep him which is strange since Shilpa can't vote lol.
Speaking of Shilpa, she approached me about wanting to work together long term which is splendid news. With half the cast not being super active and this being a strange week with twists and such I thought no one would approach me about an alliance. It's good to hear she feels the same way about me as I do about her. She'll likely be a threat down the road as evident with her clean sweep this round. We all know I'm terrible with betraying people I'm loyal to so I'm not going to say that I will for sure cut her when I need to, but I certainly will keep the thought in my mind. Last thing I want is to make the same mistake I made in season 2 with taking Dominic. So far I like the girls a lot more lol. Why do I always end up wanting same gender alliances? Won't be making any movies on trying to make that happen though
In other news, Ika is a tad bit annoying with all her posts on the board. In a way she's just calling out the inactives and that could make her a target should they win HoH. All in all, I'd say this has been a great first week in the RnF house for Rachelle. As far as Rachelle knows, she hasn't made any enemies yet. Thankfully so, because we all know Rachelle doesn't do well with enemies. Looking at you Heather! #talkinginthirdperson
