Hey guys,
I'm gonna try to be good with confessionals, so while I have some downtime here's an update on how things are going so far:
So the game has gotten underway pretty fast. The first HOH started last night at 8 and more than half of the POV players have already completed the POV.
I was the last person to check into the game, so I may have missed all of the very early on alliance making, so when I got home from work yesterday i went right to work on socializing with anyone I could. Earlier I had talked to Ed, Steven, Judd, Bart and Rhian. I continued convos with some of them and also started chatting with GM, Peter, and Deana. I would say out of all of those people I bonded most with Ed and Rhian. Having convos going on when the HOH started was very helpful. I immediately traded albums with Steven and Peter (the eventual 1st and 2nd placers). Then with Rhian and GM. Then out of no where Dan PM's me and asked to trade albums. Because I wanted to win I said yes and we also made a deal not to put each other up if one of us won. However, his approach came off as not very genuine, and we barely spoke outside of the trade and striking the deal, so he is kind of on my radar. Finally I got albums from Ed and Judd who signed on a little bit into the challenge. Jade came to me after I had already given away all my albums and she did the same thing as Dan. No, "how are you" or " nice to meet you!"....just "wanna trade an album?". She's also on my radar. I feel like I did pretty well on this challenge and would guess that I finished in the top 5 or so.
It would have been nice to win but I am totally fine with Steven being HOH. We have bonded quite a bit and have definitely taken part in some 'flirtation'. I am a flirt by nature and when involved in a game like this where there are a lot of gay men around, if my looks and a little flirting can help me get by, I'm fine with it. I doubt I am the only person he is flirting with either. He is clearly very social if he won this challenge, so that has not gone unnoticed by me, but I definitely like him and would love to have him as an ally. I wasn't surprised my his nominations at all, as Jen and Sam definitely seem to be the least active, and they were who I would have put up as well. I was also considering Faye as an option because she and I have had literally no interaction so I was surprised she got the first key.
There could totally be a big alliance that I am not a part of but as of right now the people I would want on my side are Judd, Ed, Steven, Rhian, GM and I guess Peter. People I would consider for eviction are Jen, Sam, Faye, Dan and Jade. Amanda, Bart, Deana, and Helen are somewhere in the middle.
Oh and I'm not sure if he was being totally honest but Peter says the he took the temptation and that he has to vote publicly for the first 3 weeks. That kinda sucks but it's not the worst thing that could happen.
Oh! And I was picked for POV....I'm pretty sure i did awful, but I'm fine with not winning challenges so early on. I woudln't change the noms if I won anyhow. I don't see noms changing and my gut says Jen is gonna go.
OK, that's it for now!
