It is no surprise that the ladies love me...
I mean do you blame them?
I was inactive for a bit because of my regular life, but I'm usually pretty inactive in the beginning of games. (With the exception of season 1 of this game)... This is the second time in a bb game where I have been nominated twice in a row the first two weeks, but it's not the worst thing in the world. In fact, it gives you leverage. It allows you to make deals without having to just randomly talk to someone. Give anyone the right, personalized pitch and they'll do anything for you.
My first two weeks I was nommed which sucked. I didn't really put a lot of effort into saving myself the first week TBH... But the second week was pretty hard. Kaa had already started talking to people, so my arguments needed to be better, stronger and I needed to be more personable. Also, I only talked to the people I needed... Not everyone. You can't promise everyone and their mother a deal!
Third week I won HOH... Surprise surprise. TBH I didn't even post a lot. I mostly just left my computer on all night so that they'd think I was still up lmfao. Winning was super important because it gave me more power. It allowed me to wash my hands of the deals early in the game, and now I was in the position where people were extending deals to me! An HOH really isn't about who goes home this early in the game, it's about getting information and a feel for the individuals you're playing with.
After winning HOH, I continued talking to 3-4 people... Every day. Saying the same thing, but personalizing it in a way. You have to make people think you really want them as your number one.
Then, I narrow down who's cool and who drools. Right off the bat I liked dodger and knew I wanted him on my team. Thank goodness for that because he won... I later started alliances with Pocahontas, Elsa, Mulan and that's it really...
Since using the veto, however, I have since changed my game. I plan on being a lot more forward with my moves and it will be obvious very soon who I'm working with. Dodger will have to go soon, depending on the next few days. I feel a Jiminy 2.0 session waiting to happen. I'm not taking him anywhere near the end at this point. Ideally I want to be sitting next to Olaf or Pocahontas... I've been planting those seeds with Olaf since yesterday.
