The Hive Mind/Confessionals

## Day 1: Cast Reveal

So I already know one person in this game from tumblr and I'm like this is perfect. He hasn't like OMG KEITH me yet so I thought we could be BB3 Dani and Jaosn, but he still gets 3rd and I don't get fucking robbed.
I want to use this as my advantage and I know him and I can work well. He is very loyal

## Day 1: Head of Household Competition

I'm gonna have to flirty my way to the end of this game
so far Keith is already hitting on me probably because I said the word "Nudes"
Ricki I know from another ORG and he's been hitting on me since the start of that game
and idk what's up with Blaine and Mackie but they're talking to me privately too like
I'm gonna get a lot of dick this summer and a lot of final 2 nude deals
I have been in the house
for less than 2 hours
and someone is already trying to send me nudes

Nick and I have played together before, once. I know he’s a strong player but he’s cool in my book. That being said, we never had that strong of a working agreement. Maybe we will in this game but I don’t see us being particularly strong allies, and at best only be able to work together every now and then.
Ricki’s kind of been annoying me with all the nonsense he’s been saying in the chat but it’s only been a few hours since we’ve started.
We have a Ryan in this house?
Linus is nice enough. I told him he was on my Sumbawa draft (though it was a random selection) which he seemed to appreciate.
Chris is nice enough as well, friendly, all that good stuff. Not much more to say on that for the time being.
This is my first time playing with Austin, though I am currently hosting him, and from my experience as his host, I really enjoy his gameplay. He writes awesome confessionals, is social and strategic, and is honestly one of my favorite players to host at the moment so I’m stoked to play with him. That being said, I know he and Nate have a connection, because Nate is Nick’s brother, and Austin and Nick are good friends, so I know he and Nate will probably very quickly align and have a tight relationship.
Mackie is the first newbie I’ve met who I’ve spoken to the most. We were just chatting about silly stuff like where he lives, going overseas, wanting to see snow, all that jazz. So I think we’re building up a solid connection there that hopefully will stay that way.
I predicted Grace would be on the season because it said there was a previous 703 winner, and for whatever reason, I guessed it would be her. This is also my first time playing with/meeting her officially, even though I know she’s been around for a while now. She’s alright, I guess.
Of course, back to Nate. He is such a troll. He loves trolling people, and I don’t know if I can work with someone like that who’s always messing around trying to be funny. So I’m not too sure about him at the moment, but Johnny assures me that we can work with Nate and Austin.
Blaine. Ugh, the last time me and Blaine played together, we had a bit of beef. We didn’t exactly work well together and the last time we interacted, it was me tearing into his ass in my jury speech because he was a BB Finalist. So, kinda awkward right now. But whatever, I’ll make the first move towards making amends. I know he’s a big fan of TWD, so I tried to bond with him over the recent trailer.
Slim, Keith, Nathan – no idea who they are. I honestly can’t even recall Slim saying anything in the chat.
Lexus – Austin’s girlfriend. She’s kind of…eccentric, I guess? She spoke to me entirely in acronyms and I don’t even know how to respond to that. I know the viewers are hungry to see a girl win too, and it looks like Grace and Lexus are the only two in the running.
Last but not least, Johnny. He and I have a really complicated frenemie relationship of sorts. He’s probably the guy I’m closest to in the entire community and we’ve played in quite a lot of ORGs together at this point, but we have a long and messy history. He’s betrayed me before, even when I was loyal to him, and I am very familiar with his game. He’s the kind of guy who would very easily turn his back on an ally if the majority was heading that way. That being said, he is an easy ally to have right now because I can rely on him not putting me up, even if I know I’ll want him gone eventually.
For this HoH, I know I’ll want someone up who won’t nominate me. I’m pretty sure the quiet ones like Slim or Ryan will be up first, because they haven’t said anything at all. I wanted to vote for Johnny to get HoH but he doesn’t want it, which makes sense because who wants to have first blood on their hands? If not Johnny, I’m thinking maybe someone else who I believe won’t have me on my radar, like Mackie, or maybe even Austin or Nick. But this is only the first day. I don’t think anyone’s going to be strategizing too hard so soon, and if all goes well, an inactive will be the first to go.

## Day 2: Head of Household Competition

So far I've talked to Blaine, Chris, Marco, Nick, Mackie, Slim, Ryan, and Linus. So I'll talk about them, the rest of the house guests haven't even attempted to approach me yet so I'll write about them when/if they do.
Blaine- Blaine is great, we're like pretty good friends and I know that he'll definitely work closely with me this game, and I don't mind that at all.
Chris- Chris is going to be a HUGE problem later on. Idk if the hosts know this, but Chris and I have a huge history going back to like my days in the tumblrbb community. He knows my game weaknesses so it's going to be hard to pull anything against him. But luckily for me, he doesn't know anyone else therefore I can take him under my wing and hopefully give him a footing in the game because I do want to work with him, just know he's going to be an issue eventually.
Marco- Marco and I's conversation seemed very dry, and he's the one that stopped answering without an explanation which isn't a good look, but granted, we did talk so that's a win in my book
Nick- Nick is going to be my like ride or die for right now. We didn't get to do it in BOTO so what is stopping us here you know? I trust Nick 100% so I know he's going to be included in whatever plans happen.
Mackie- I like Mackie a lot. Out of everyone I didn't have a previous relationship with, we had the best conversation. The only problem is his skype name. When he put it in the main chat, it was so fucking familiar and that led me to realizing this guy was in the giant friend group chat with me. Idk how close Mackie is to like Austin and his gang but I know he's in that chat and it's something to be cautious of.
Granted he did tell me information about Johnny campaigning for the first hoh on that skype call? Really dude? It wasn't even 12 hours into the game what could you possibly want with that hoh.
Slim- May or may not have gotten so confused because his name is actually Chris too but I adore this guy. We talked a little while a few minutes ago and he said I "seem cool" and he said he was glad someone was up because it's lonely LOL. I definitely like him and I'm going to put in a good word for him with Nick.
Ryan- This may also be a problem TBH. Ryan's known me for a while and he doesn't know many other people in the game. Idk how well he's going to mesh with the other houseguests so it's a game of "do I protect him or do I pretend I don't know him". We'll see
Linus- Linus also seems really chill like I left the skype call last night and he was like "good decision it was so awkward there". I'm pretty sure Nick likes Linus a lot because mutual friends of Nick/I are friends with Linus so that might be something good too.
For now I'm going to try and lay low and evaluate relationships. There's an obvious friend group in here and I'm hoping while there's attention on that, there's not attention on my relationships. That's all for now

people keep telling me that they're gonna vote for me and here's why
people keep starting convos with me
and then saying "Damn I don't know who to vote for"
and then I say "me"
and they're like "actually that's not a bad idea you have my vote"
LIKE WHAT THE FUCK
I'm gonna tear through these house guests if they act like this all season

Having only 2 girls in the house meant the thirst level went up, though I don't envy the choices Lex and Grace have. I'm looking to bro down with some peeps and run things with having a side piece puppet to make options open up more.
The HoH comp is deceptively enlightening to me. Basing the HoH on a campaign is going to show who is playing hard from the jump and who is going to sit back. Johnny had made it known that he wants the private room first and wants to target inactivity. Fine by me. I'm just glad that wearing Top Gun aviators, an Airwolf windbreaker, jams, British Knights and an Alf from Melmac shirt doesn't seem to have made me an immediate target.
Time to retire to my Jem and the Holograms room for a nap. Apreesh!

## Day 3: Power of Veto Competition

Starting to see a few red flags being planted around the house too. It's never a good sign when you have to be the one to initiate conversation. And when you are not added to any alliance by Day 2, especially when all the big ones get together early...it is cause to look out. All I know is I am no one's pawn, and if I play in the veto, I'm aiming to win.
Back to the hammock. Apreesh!

## Day 3: Power of Veto Competition Results

After like 2 days in this game I came to the realization that I actually know Keith quite well. AND I HAD NO IDEA. I actually didn't cast him for a bb game and I have him on snapchat so uhm lets add Keith along with Chris on the list of people that I randomly know.
Originally Nathan wanted a group with me, so I threw Nick into it and Mackie was kinda there too. Nathan is kinda like a chicken with his head cut off so I like warned Mackie and Nick about it.
Then Austin wanted to call Nick and I and Austin is supposedly putting Nathan up which like is also fine, I'll just keep the group of Mackie/Nick/I and just throw in like Slim or something.
I could also go the route of Ricki, Keith, and Chris aka tumblr but that's no fun and Chris might kick my ass but for now my relationship with Chris is like a dirty little secret.
This was all over the place but the tl;dr is rip Nathan, Mackie good, Nick dumb, I somehow know Keith. Boom

## Day 4: Power of Veto Ceremony

Just goes to show people are gunna play follow the leader for a while. I guess I was the only one that wanted to use him as my own number. That's going to dictate how the first part of this game is played. Everyone will just do as they are told for the first 3 weeks, and it'll give me enough time to plant seeds of doubt into people's heads. By the time the 4th HoH comes around, your boy is going to be king of the castle
