Confessionals

[rc]

What a CRAZY 24 hours!  I feel like I have gotten a chance to talk to a good amount of people.  I normally like to lay low in the beginning but this is All Stars and forming relationships in the beginning is important.  Right now it looks like we are one big happy family which makes things nuts because there are so many people to talk to. I'll just give a brief overview of my convos with everyone so far & my thoughts

1) Jefra, obv we talked and plan on working together.  I love her, shes hilarious and super sweet, the biggest issue I have is the language barrier.  I like to talk strategy and analyze different situations and its difficult to do with her, but shes a great one to align with because she is loyal and is a fighter. 

2)Cliff - I FINALLY chatted with Cliff today, it was general stuff, basically talking our season and the drama with Yul, but it was nice to touch base and open up communication (we didn't talk at all in our season).  I don't plan on working with him, because I was not impressed with him on my season but numbers are important and right now I have no idea who I will be on a tribe with so I need any connection I can get!

3) Brenda - Brenda has messaged me since our names were announced - she calls me her RC Cola.  I LIKE her but I don't trust her, I view her as someone who is going to play everyone and every angle.  She told me she doesn't really know anyone, she was in a fans vs favs season and didn't have a lot of interaction with the people from her season that are in All Stars.  She asks me my opinion on who to vote for and we have discussed working together so we'll see what happens but she is def someone I plan to be super cautious with and only give limited info to.

4) Ethan - We chatted for a while, about our season and our thoughts on this twist.  I messaged him when I saw he was also an all star and told him we should work together because in our season we both didn't communicate and we lost, so we should talk this time - he agreed.  Sweet kid - LOVES Brandon LOL  He has volunteered to have everyone vote for him.  He believes the outcome will be something good and says he is going to use it on "us" which I assume means people in our season.....I like him a lot, I can see myself working closely with him moving forward.

5) Jamie - He confuses me - he messaged me and stated talking about our season, he told me he was "Jamie-Robert" which I automatically read as JR because of the initials - he talked about Kass hating him, being on jury with me etc.  When I asked him if he was telling other people who he was in Island of Love he told me to keep it secret for now and he wanted it to stay between us. So I'm just questioning who is really is, its just a little odd to me.  He told me that Tanya has won 3 seasons (2 under the name Phillip and one under her name) and to watch out for Sean and Carter. 

6) Sean - We've chatted 2 days in a row, nice guy.  He claims he isn't familiar with a lot of the seasons or twists because he disappeared after his.  Nice guy, seems straight forward so far.

Other people I've had brief encounters with are Andrew, Ciera, & Carter.

Its just the beginning, once tribes form (assuming we won't stay one big group) things will pick up and strategising will be easier.  Right now I'm just trying to be active enough so people remember me, it seems like inactive people get voted out first.  As for my 2nd vote for the Odd All Star out....I'm not sure what to do - Jefra told me she voted for Ciera and Silas, which I thought was random.  I'm going to honor Ethan's request and vote for him, but I don' really want to vote for 2 Island of Love people because I'm afraid 1 of them will be out of the game, if not both.  More Later!  XOXO

I don't even know why I'm thinking about this!!!! We havnt talked gamd at all yet.....I just want the BBB alliance name in the game. Ok back to bed!

DAY 1
Successful day so far - I am happy with my tribe. I already liked Jamie & Silas so I was really excited to see them with me. I hopped online this afternoon and Jamie and I got right too it - we started talking strategy and figuring out who we wanted to pull in to make a majority alliance. First off, I was wrong to question who was really was last season - he's JR, he's given me enough specifics to prove it and I double checked our season to cross reference some facts. He doesn't want any of the guys to know who he is because he attempted to flip and vote Yul out and that makes sense so I am excited I get to know his little secret.  Jamie is a little worried about his position because he can't make it to the challenge tomorrow night and if we loose that could be really bad for him.   But I told him that if we form a majority alliance it won't matter because we can keep him safe, and I think he appreciated the fact that I was already thinking about saving him.  I basically suggested that we pick 1-2 more people and form a solid alliance and then break up and make fake alliances to cover everyone on the tribe.  SO Jamie and I discussed choosing Silas and possibly Ian as a 4th.

Then Silas writes me on proboards saying YAY we are on the same tribe - and I write him right back saying "I'm working on an alliance for us, get online" I didn't even ask him if he wanted to work together LOL, I just told him we were, but he was fine with it.  I am always afraid I am going to sound too strategic too quickly and then make myself a target so I try really hard to be careful.  I told Silas I had a good feeling about a few other people but I wanted him to have a chance to talk to our tribe and see if he came up with the same names (knowing Jamie was already talking to him)  SO a little while later he told me "Other than you, I really like Jamie and Ian,that would be my ideal alliance"  BOOM - perfection -So I told him I would approach Jamie and he could approach Ian.  Once the 4 of us come together, assuming Ian will be on board....(I hope) then we can discuss breaking off and forming fake alliances.  I like the fake alliance idea because Silas and I could potentially fake align with Heidi and Malcolm and Jamie / Ian could potentially align with Vec and then we have everyone covered - the alliance knows what everyone on the tribe is thinking and we can control the votes.  Its just a little risky because you have to really trust that the "fake alliances" that are forming are really fake.

I finally got to talk to Ian, sweet kid - it was all normal chat but its funny because he is from the town I was born in - Canton, Ohio.  Such a small world.  He and Jamie played a previous season together and have a little bit of negative history but Jamie doesn't think it will carry into this season.  I didn't talk to Ian about aligning because both Jamie and Silas sounded like they were going to, so I just tried really hard to be sweet and appealing so when they bring up me being in the alliance he will have a positive impression of me.

Malcolm, hes really nice but I don't like that he is already talking about people.  First thing today he told me Jamie wouldn't be able to make the challenge and acted upset about the possibility of loosing.  1st of all, others may not show up, 2nd, we could still win depending on what the challenge is, there is no reason to panic.  I reminded him that IF by chance we loose we will still have even numbers because we will replace one person with Ethan.  He also made sure I noticed that Silas had not been online yet and no ones heard from him yet. It just rubbed me the wrong way, its day 1, we are just starting to get to know each other, I don't need people bringing up negative things about other tribe members yet.  And if he is saying things about them what could stop him from saying something about me.  google eyes

Ugg I really want to decorate this more so I get points but my baby is screaming.....so no decorations today....I'll try and add a RC pic when he settles down.

SO much to say, so little time - OK here it goes

We lost the challenge -  Jamie couldn't show up, Vee & Silas were late.  It was tough, I don't know if having them would make a difference or not. 

Both Heidi and Malcolm approached me last night and started discussing the vote with me.  I assumed he was going to target Jamie, because he seemed upset that he couldn't be at the challenge but to my surprise he was targetting Silas - he was a PW in our season and is worried about having Silas and Ethan together.  I, obviously, do not want Silas gone but its hard because I don't want to defend him too much to cause people to question our relationship.  I casually mentioned Vee and told him it wasn't anything personal against her but she has never talked to me, even though I've said hi a few times when she has been online.  I told him I liked the idea of Silas staying on the tribe because of the time zone.  When we have a positing challenge Silas will be a HUGE help.  But both of them are very set on Silas, Heidi started a chat between the 3 of us to discuss things. I don't know if the purpose of the chat was to try and prove to me they had the numbers or if she really thinks the 3 of us are working together.

My plan is that same. I want to work with Jamie, Silas and Ian.  Ian and I were chatting last night and he seemed unsure about the vote.  Both Silas and Jamie were supposed to approach him about an alliance but it was obvious he was clueless. SO I bit the bullet and just did it. He seemed surprised Jamie wanted to work with him but said he felt closest to me on our tribe, felt like we are are both trustworthy players and should be a pair.  He wanted to vote Vee out but at first he seemed to side with Malcolm about Silas - I reminded him that Silas could be in our alliance with Jamie and assuming Silas pulls Ethan it, that gives us 5 people with a possible idol.  I told him that The 5 of us could be strong and when the time comes Jamie he and I can break up Ethan and Silas because it will be 3 vs 2.  Then things changed and he got excited about the plan.  During this conversion Silas and Jamie were also PMing him and they both told me they felt like Jamie was on board with us. 

Then I make a group what with myself and the 3 guys (plus Brandon xoxo) Its easier to talk strategy and I think it builds trust between the alliance to be able to communicate and discuss things.  We discussed switching the vote to Heidi because shes going to be upset and has won before so she is obviously a huge player - but Ian thinks Vee has more connections in the game, so we are sticking with Vee.

Throughout the entire night I was also getting messages in my Heidi / Malcolm chat, which was so awkward because after they continually rejected my Vee plan I gave in and appeared to be open to vote Silas for "tribe unity"  Both conversations would tell me when they talked to other tribe members - Heidi would say "I talked to Ian and hes on board with voting Silas out"  Ian would say "Heidi just approached me I just told her what she wanted to hear" etc.  It was a fun night but IF the votes go as planned we are going to have 2 very upset tribe members, which is never a good thing. 

The first round is always revealing.  People COULD be lying to me, heck I could be blindsided, but tribals always show who you can trust.  SO part of me is glad we lost the challenge - we get Ethan, who I know will work with me and HOPEFULLY we are getting Vee out. Fingers crossed!!!!

One worry I have is the possibility of an idol. I noticed a thread on our challenge board that is password protected. If Malcolm Heidi or Vee have it, I'm hoping they won't use it this early. Everyone is saying we are on board with Silas so they shouldn't feel a need to use it.
