Diary Room: Week 1 - First Impressions

[Steve]

LIBRA IS TRYING TO GET ME TO DO HER HOMEWORK I THINK WHAT THE HELL. IM NOT WRITING A STORY ABOUT STATISTICS

[Steve]

I no longer want Josh to go because I've been having so much fun casually dropping in that he's a coal miner to people in conversations. It's a fun game for me. I'll be sad when he's gone.

FINAL SUMMATION: WEEK ONE

Okay. One week down, one coal miner (most likely) gone. A lot has happened. So just to recap for the people who couldn't give a shit to read anything else I posted. This one's for you: So the game started, and I started bonding with Liz, Becky and Howard. Then I started bonding with Shelli. (I started a thing where I would tell her a story every night. Mostly because on day one I didn't feel like I was getting past her "Oh Hi everybody! I'm Shelli!" wall she had up). Then I'm like Liz, let's work together and shit. and she's like "cool". and then Shelli is like let's work together and shit, and i'm like "Cool". and she's like let's work with Liz and Becky and i'm like "fuCKING RIGHT".

Now Kelsey and Joshypoo were on the block. Kelsey started talking to me more (along with most likely talking to everybody more, let's be realistic here), and we came to a "hey you would be safe with me, i would be safe with you" sort of agreement. Nick and I talk a little more but something about him right now is making me hesitant to trust him. I still don't know how to pronounce Nagasaki Sareen's name. And me and Howard got into a really lengthy conversation about rappers and we ended up throwing a bunch of new music at each other.


Now here's where what happened today comes in. Shelli tells me that Arlie and Howard were talking to her about a mega alliance. Something with Her, them two, Liz, Becky, Me and Libra or something like that. (Arlie brought up liz and Becky and Howard brought up me and Libra, according to Shelli). And... I don't know. First of all, Big Brother 16 made me cringe at giant alliances forever and always, but second of all. That means we're literally the dicks of the season, banding together to take out the rest. (One of which would be Kelsey, who I feel could help my game.)


She wasn't supposed to tell me, so I kind of have to keep quiet about this. But I can't shake the feeling that this isn't going to end well. I think the smartest move is to keep Steve's Angels (i don't give a fuck if they don't like that name. They're Steve's Angels. Get on my level, RnF) together and to keep the group chat an active one on the side, even if we do join forces with Arlie, Howard and Libra. Because Howard and Arlie seem to be working together, so this group is only a way for them to get to the end, most likely together. I've sort of gotten this moniker for being a really funny guy, who's good with talking to people. 


In RnF 8, I was loyal to one group of four and it ended up getting me sent home, especially when I had to team up with two other people who just sort of saw me as expendable, in my opinion. I don't want to happen again. I think if I can get a win under my belt, especially this early on, it would at least show that I can contribute to the group and would boost my stock amongst the people I would be working with. The one difference I've made this season is I've been pretty transparent with my conversations, especially with the Angels. I've been open with me liking Kelsey and my lack of convos, just in an attempt to get some trust this season that I wasn't able to obtain in the other two times I've played this. (I know for most of you, a third time playing an ORG is still nothing, but jesus these take so long. I feel at the very least like a social game veteran). 


In Conclusion, it was a really good week. Made three allies, made another ally that's not technically an ally, might possibly have 2-3 more. I still hate Ramsey. I still love Plank with every fiber of my being. The only advice I have for myself moving forward is to continue to be transparent, but also continue to throw subtle disses at people and have a little bit of an asshole side. Nick and Kelsey have the "I'm a great person talk to me" vibes going on, the only I'll stand above the pack is to be different than that, but still in an accessible way. Captain Kirk out.
