Week 1

[GinaMarie]

Well that HoH was not as bad as I thought it would be. I expected something that would've taken almost all night, so it was a relief that it only took about 30 minutes to do it. I wanted to win, but I wouldn't have been upset if I didn't because it wouldn't make me an early target. Peter made a comment to me that if someone had seven friends already than they could win this pretty easily, so I'm almost glad I didn't win so people wouldn't assume I had a lot of friends, which I really don't. 

As I was waiting for results, I did kind of thing I had won. It seemed like I finished trading before anyone else, but someone could have lied to me or just not posted their's quick enough. I didn't really see the point in lying in this competition because if you get caught as a liar this early than that could be very troublesome. I figured that I would just tell everyone the truth of who I traded with and that I would give them what albums I said I would and if someone lied to me than that it on them. The first HoH is really just about getting out the inactives anyway so I wasn't too concerned that I didn't win.

I agree with the nominees that Steven put up. I think those two are the only ones that I haven't talked to yet and it sounds like a lot of people have said that as well. Its unfortunate since they could be busy and the game just started, but that's really the only thing to base it off of right now. I'll probably end up voting for Jen because I've at least seen Sam on AIM and on the board and I don't think Jen will even compete in the POV. If she wins than good on her, but it seems like her fate might already be sealed.

Now that I've pretty much talked to everyone and the game is in full swing, I wanted to touch base on how I feel about each houseguest based on the conversations I have had with them so far.


I haven't talked to Amanda in the last two days so my opinion on her hasn't really changed. I still think she is trying to play up the Amanda character and if she is then I feel like she is going to annoy some people. She seems like a very in your face person and someone who I can see maybe clashing with down the line if she keeps up the shtick. I am not really fond of her, but that could change after one good conversation with her, so we'll see.


Bart is really nice! The only thing about Bart is that its like pulling teeth to keep a conversation going. He said he is Dutch, so maybe that is why he doesn't talk much so there could be a communication barrier or something? I really do like Bart, I just wish he would talk more. I keep asking him questions in our conversations so that I can keep a conversation going with him.


Dan is also a nice guy, but its another case of being nice and not talking at all. Dan literally does not talk and I think he is the hardest person to talk to in the game other than Jen who just hasn't been around at all. It seems like he just doesn't talk very much, which I don't think will bode too well for him. Either way, he's not really at the top of my list.


I like Deana too, but she seems to be always busy. I had the chance to chat with her a little yesterday, but she didn't talk much because she said that she was working. I enjoyed the conversation that we had even if it wasn't for that long though. I talked to her today as well and she was able to talk a bit more, but again she said that she was busy and that if she didn't get on today than she wouldn't be able to until Monday. It seems like her availability might be limited during the game, which I hope isn't the case because I really like her and want to get to know her more!


Ed is my buddy! He said he wants to be my Nick this season, which is fine with me because it means that he wants to stay close with me. I really do like him and I think he is the easiest guy to talk to in the game. I told him that I think the two of us should watch each other's backs and he agreed with me right away, so I'm happy about that. I was afraid to approach him about it and wanted him to ask me, but it seems like it turned out fine anyway. I hope he and I can stick together.


I like Eric too! However, Eric knows who I am and the last game we were in together, he was not a fan of me at all. We have played together twice, in the same series, and he thought of me as the biggest threat I think, which means he cannot find out who I am or I think he will target me pretty quickly just based off of that, which sucks but its inevitable. Anyway, I do like chatting with him when he isn't coming after me and he is actually pretty easy to talk to when he's around. He leaves his AIM up on his phone all the time which is sort of annoying because you never know when he's actually there. Overall, I do like him and enjoy talking to him.


LOVE Faye! Her and I have connected quite well and she is someone who I think I want to work with in this game. I have talked to her a lot and she is one of the people that I have talked to the most. She is just very easy to talk to and her and I get along quite well I think. I hope she feels the same way, but it seems genuine from her end so that makes me feel good. I feel like her and I could work well together so that is something I could see myself pursuing in the future. 


I also really like Helen too, lol I like so many people I know. I haven't had a chance to talk to her as much as I'd like and I think that could be due to the time difference. She told me she lives in California, which is why she was late to the challenge. From the conversations I have had with her, she seems awesome and her and I have clicked pretty well when we do talk. 


I like Jade a lot, too. She was nice when I talked to her the first time and her and I helped each other out in the challenge last night too. She seems like someone who is very trustworthy, but I haven't gotten a chance to talk to her as much as I have others, so I'm hesitant to make anything official with her. I want to talk to her some more to get to know her and get a feel for the type of person and player that she is, but as of right now I really like her and hope to chat with her again soon.


Inactive and should be an easy first week eviction.


Judd, you really are a stud! Haha he's a nice guy, but he's very hard to talk to. I have had three different conversations with him and none of them seemed to last very long at all. I can tell that he is nice, but I wish he would just talk more. He doesn't seem very engaged in the conversation at all when you talk to him, which makes it so hard to talk to him. He gives short answers and doesn't really ask any questions.


I like Peter a lot! He is one of my favorite people here. Last night was the first time I talked with him and we talked for quite a bit before the challenge. Than when it started, we helped each other right away and he also told me when he found out what his temptation was. He is one of my favorites even though I have only talked to him once, but it was for a few hours and I feel like he is a pretty straight forward guy, which I really like. 


This is my girl right here. I think I have talked with her the most out of anyone and she is definitely my favorite. Her and I made an official alliance and said that we are sticking together all the way, which I love so much. I feel like her and I can make a lot a damage together and be an awesome duo. We like and dislike basically the same people and our thought process on everything just seems to be on cue with one another. I'm so happy to be working with her and I know that her and I are going to do very well and hopefully we can make it to the end.


I'm actually talking to him as we speak and its the first time I am meeting him. I like him a lot and I wish he could've came around sooner haha but I don't think he is going anywhere this week since no one has seen Jen so he should be fine. He is a fun guy to talk to from what I can tell and I can't wait to talk with him more.


Don't know how he won the HoH at all. He is one of, if not the hardest person to talk to in this game. He doesn't say much and the conversations always end very quickly when talking to him and others have said the same thing so I know its not just me. He and I haven't talked much at all and I continue to try and make conversation with him but it never ends up working. It's very frustrating and I wish he would just talk more.

I wanted to post this conversation I had with Faye because I thought it was both funny and ironic. 

Faye: (4:41:38 PM) May I vent? I feel like I gotta vent to someone, y'know?
cyber_life_xx: (4:41:50 PM) of course!
cyber_life_xx: (4:41:51 PM) whats up?
Faye: (4:42:17 PM) I have no clue how to play a BB online game
Faye: (4:42:22 PM) because I've never seen BB
Faye: (4:42:52 PM) So, is it normal for there to be no alliances week 1? The only experience I have is Survivor, and in Survivor things get going immediately. I'm not sure if BB is the same
cyber_life_xx: (4:43:23 PM) its more common for there not to be any immediate alliances in BB than Survivor
cyber_life_xx: (4:43:42 PM) things are a lot more slow moving in BB than they are Survivor
Faye: (4:45:00 PM) oh okay I gotcha
Faye: (4:45:02 PM) then I'm good?
cyber_life_xx: (4:45:43 PM) i mean i really like you and i'm sure a lot of others do as well!
cyber_life_xx: (4:45:48 PM) so i'd say you're good <3
Faye: (4:45:54 PM) awh psh, don't make me blush <3
Faye: (4:45:55 PM) Thanks!

The reason this is noteworthy is because next to Faye, I probably know the least about Big Brother than anyone else playing this game. So the fact that she asked me about this just makes me laugh I guess because I don't know much more about it than she does. Its nice to know I'm not the only noob to the Big Brother world that is playing this game though!

Femme Fatales

This is an alliance that was just formed about ten minutes ago. All three of us have said that we like the other two the best out of everyone in the whole cast. Rhian and I were already working together and when I was talking to Faye earlier, she told me that she liked Rhian and I the best. I went to Rhian and told her that and she said that she loved Faye and that we should scoop her up to work with us while its still early in the game and I agreed. So I approached Faye about it and she was so excited and now we are all officially working together and call ourselves 'Femme Fatales' after Britney of course. I think this group can do really well together and maybe even go all the way because we are all very well liked by the rest of the cast. I couldn't be more happy about this!
