Diary Room

[libra]

1. Did you enter the game with a set strategy? If so, (how) has it changed now that the game has officially begun and you've probably met some of the cast?

Entering the game, I just had the plan of being myself when socializing. As in don't turn Libra into the stereotypical black woman that appears on TV. I believe I've had some groundbreaking conversations with a handful of housemates. I might have offended some housemates by mentioning I was smoking (marijuana) and drinking 3 or 4 beers. My plan to be myself is still intact, although I sometimes can rub people the wrong in actual life. Who knows how I'm being perceived here. I did try to up my social game by finding things I can relate to with each housemate. I asked a few people, "Recommend me a song to listen to." Of course, I enjoy hearing new music, but it's mainly to break ice. I need people to feel comfortable with I.

2. What kind of player would you consider yourself? (The hero, the villain, the socialite, the competitor, well-rounded, etc...?)

Let's be real here, I'll ride the coattails of the hottest thing of the week. I'm not saying I'll be a Kalia by eating and sleeping. I'm saying if I can get the least blood on my hands as possible then my journey to the finale will be simpler. I would like to have others make my moves until I'm comfortable to do them myself. It's all about position and timing. This will be a fun season for sure, this cast seems very active.


3. What are your strengths and weaknesses as a player?

My strength would be socializing and being around, but that can be viewed in a negative light. I like to keep communication to ensure I'm not the lowest of the week. My weakness would be my openness that leads to my frank comments. Again, as I said, I've been known to rub people the wrong way. I tend to sneak in quick jabs. Then I'm shocked I said it . . . oops, no filter. 

4. What are your pet peeves in people? Are there any kind of players that just really grind your gears? Would you target them automatically or try to work past these differences?

My biggest peeve would be the ones that can't hold a conversation, like Joshuah. His communication skills suck more balls than New Year's Eve. It's the first week, so I'm honestly hoping I just place in the top tier of HoH and advance to week two. I would hate to make a first call the first week because we all know what happens to those who act like a leader.

5. Have you communicated with anyone yet? Who has made good first impressions? Who has made bad impressions?

I've actually communicated with everyone as of late last night! There are some that are very easy to chat with and some just suck. I understand everyone has a life outside the game, but there is no substance for 3/4 players. I'm really enjoying Kathy though, she's a hoot! I like Howard, Shelli, Steve, Becky, and Kelsey as well! Nick is cool too. Cassandra seems like she could be a little crazy! Joshuah, Ramsey, James, and Sam really bore me. 

6. (Why) do you think you have what it takes to win Big Brother: Rise & Fall 14?

I do have what it takes, I think? I'm social and I will my will to win if need be is there. These HoH results are very distracting, btw. 

7. Anything else you'd like to add before your journey for the victory begins?

Thank you for casting me!

|| Week #01 ||

The game has officially begun people! It has been such a great experience thus far. I've gotten to know some fun people and have had amazing conversations. Although, I have met some duds; obviously, they're not meant for TV. Coming into the house, I want to lay low for a couple of weeks. I do not need any drama shedding a light my way. I'll dodge it as much as possible until I have to play dirty!

During the meet and greet, I had the pleasure of meeting another mom. . . Kathy! She's a cop and she was so quirky. I've noticed she likes to take her time on things. I enjoyed my conversations with Shelli, she is easy to talk to. I could see myself hanging out with her during the summer. Kelsey is great as well, her and I hit it off today actually - our conversation is still going on! Nick and I have had a few good conversations too! Josh and Sam are the two housemates that are hard to chat with. Josh is very vague and boring. Sam is just there, and of course, he's Head of Household this week. I'm a little worried, but a few others have mentioned they haven't communicated with him. I feel okay with James, let's see if our choppy conversation will save me this week. Other than that there is nothing going on at the moment. I haven't thought about alliances or deals yet, it seems rather soon. I have hinted to some that I'm digging them as a ally, but it's very subliminal. 

The twist announcement earlier had my heart pounding. The chances of being nominated have double and it's a bit concerning as numbers dwindle. The fact that you could go from Head of Household to evicted in the same week. Or having your nominee partner throw the BotB competition to have you evicted. I feel a baking session is coming soon.

Hey, hey. Hey. Hey! The first week has been rather quiet and to a degree it rather excites me. It may be boring for the live feed viewers, but it's so early that making a move is too dangerous. I have coasted a long just getting to know the housemates more. I have bonded with just about everyone, yet we still have some that are not conversationalist. I'm hoping this will urge the house to band together to oust them out of the house. It sucks that it's mainly the guys in the house (ie Ramsey, Sam, Arlie), but I guess that's how the cards are playing out. 

This week started out great by receiving my key from both James and Sam. Kelsey and Josh were nominated by Sam then James nominated Nick and Ramsey during the Nomination ceremony. The Battle of the Block consisted of the duos competing in a wordsearch. Nick and Ramsey won the competition freeing themselves from the chopping block. Nick mentioned (to me) that Ramsey found 8 words to his 23 words and didn't not speak once during the competition. Ramsey is horrible at communicating, I don't foresee him lasting much longer. He's very hard to chat with and our conversations are very dull. Ramsey and Sam will become my targets if I become Head of Household next week. The irony of receiving my key from him then nominating him. Liz won the Power of Veto granting her instant immunity and the decision to remove a houseguest from the block. Liz and I chatted about what she should do; I told her it'd be best for her game if kept the nominations the same. Which I think she already knew that, but I like the fact she valued my opinion. I need Liz in the game (aligned with me, of course): 1) she's very likable, 2) she's great at competitions, 3) she can hold a conversation. She decided not to use the Veto on either Kelsey or Josh during the ceremony. We have mentioned how we prefer Kelsey staying over Josh. It's unfortunate because Josh really wants to be here, but his desperate attempt to save himself is a bit late. Josh, if you see this, I was being sincere when I said I enjoyed chatting with you. Even though you communicated with me more after being nominated.


Despite bonding with most of cast, I feel some bonds growing tighter than others. I'm sad to say Shelli and I are communicating less and less each day, as well as Becky. I guess that just gives me some targets later in the game. I'm absolutely loving Liz, Naeha, Kathy, Kelsey, Nick, and Howard. Cassandra and I have some room to grow, but nonetheless, I like her. I'm trying to keep all types of communication though, I don't want to be anyone's low totem pole. Arlie and I have lowkey conversations, so I probably need to butter him up some more. James and I are hit and miss, but we do have some good conversations. Ramsey and Sam are quiet. Steve and I are getting better at holding a conversation with one another, so I hope I can gain his trust. Cassandra seems a bit of a wildcard and I don't know what can happen with her. I will continue to socialize with her until I see what she's all about. 


I'm so curious about alliances and the division of the house. It's early in the game, but I know there has to be some alliances (or maybe deals) happening in the house. Howard did mention to me he'd like to work together, but he was very hasty comment. I will take it a grain of salt even though I adore him. Just curious if he has made this deal with many others. I guess time will show his true intentions. OK, it's time for me to bake a cake for Josh.

Summary for Week #02. . . .



Libra had a very rough week inside the Big Brother house. She covered herself with blankets and only maintained a relationship with food; not wanting to talk game. Howard and Liz won Head of Household, but Liz's nominees won - overthrowing her reign. In the end, Sam and Cassandra were left on the chopping block once Kathy did not use the Power of Veto to save either. Libra suddenly felt better to cast her vote to evict... "Sam!" 




I promise my absent was a one time thing; I'll have a new Diary Room up tonight or tomorrow mid-day (most likely). I'll summarize things such as being a one man bandit (happily), loyalties, plans within the next few weeks, etc.

|| Week #03 ||

What a great week for my game. I get to lay low (for now) and ride the coattails of those I've built relationships with. I'm honestly just a social butterfly in the game and not much of anything else. I'm a bore whore to the max, but it's all good. . . it's still early. This cast is boring and hard to communicate with. Nobody is making any moves and BotB is probably one of the reasons. Kill the twist after week 4 and watch the game get interesting. Howard has offered me an official alliance with him. Oh ya, numbers! Everyone else is being social butterflies as well. I bet the DRs are filling up with the alliances/deals that don't mean shit. I don't have time to making all those pseudo alliances to advance myself farther. I just will rely on going with the wind each week and being a one man bandit. I don't really have full trust in anyone because the communication this season sucks.

Nominees > Ramsey & Nick
Veto > Howard

|| Week #04 ||

The game begins. . .


So, today after another week of riding coattail, Little Miss Sunshine herself (Naeha) approaches me. That second I knew what was up; I'm about to be nominated. Our schedules haven't matched up, so she feels we've been distant. She counters it by saying that it wasn't all my fault either. Smart choice of words, but I'm not Helen Keller; I see what is going on. This situation is so telling as I've messaged the girl on several occasions (to no avail). I will fake it to make it and pretend it's okay that I'm nominated. I'll fake it to make it with the ones I chat with more as well. "I'm okay with being nominated, I totally understand. Naeha was never my target and will not be. I have bigger fish to fry at this current time." Which is complete and total bullshit because Naeha is my current target NOW.  Naeha and Kelsey will look great sitting beside one another. Maybe this is what I truly needed to liven me up. 




Arlie and I will be nominated together. This means I have to compete alongside of him in the Battle of the Block. How interesting. No matter what happens this week, I will not go down without a fight. I'm not going to turn over and let Naeha fuck me over. No way. I have two chances to save myself from being evicted this week. I would prefer to win the BotB and not worry for the remainder of the week. 


Naeha mentioned that if James is overthrown and the Power of Veto is used then he will be a replacement. I will store this information in case Naeha is overthrown, so she can be backdoored. That would bring joy to myself. It's time (once BotB is over) to butter up my alliance; Liz needs to be saved this week then Naeha must be turned on. 


I made a deal with Cassandra about being Final 2 together and that we need to look out for one another. Liz, Howard, and I also decided us three need to stick together. I trust Howard a lot and I feel comfortable with Liz. Cassandra is great to talk to, but I feel she is an extreme wildcard. I may start feeding her false information and see what comes about in the house. This week will be a tell all in many ways. Let's see where true loyalties lie.
