Omg, no one is PMing me at the moment. I'm like ~so~ paranoid. Lol, PMs are flying like crazy. So far I think the people I like most are Joe, Jodi, and Jeff. I really want to get in with Ian/Kara/Danielle as well. Frank is kinda meh so far, and all he seems to want to talk about is the girls :rolleyes:. Jenn/JoJo haven't PM'd me at all. |

I will try not to disappoint, Brenda! So far I've talked to all of the Coaches. Jeff and I are getting along really well, and Andrew hasn't PMd me in a while, but I like him a lot too. Rachel seems to be invested in competition talk which is fun but not very useful. Annie is really funny, but I know MP is a really dangerous player (hell they all are), so idk. At this point I'd most like to be with Jeff I think. So far I think I'm closest with Joe/Jodi/Danielle. Jodi and I already have sort of an alliance, and I've talked with Joe/Jeff about working with each other. Danielle is totally in character, and I love it. And I won't betray her if we actually play this showmance out. I want to hear more from her because so far we've only swapped like five PMs. As of now Wil/Willie are going up first if I win HoH because neither have bothered to show up/PM me yet. |

Okay, I'm going to write a long update about my thoughts of the day, but I want to preface with two things: 1. I still have a lot of unread PMs 2. I'm extremely drunk atm Anyways here we go. My team: Jeff: I love Big Jeff as a Coach. He seems to really be into working with me and JoJo, which is great. The one concern I have is that he's closer to JoJo than myself. He said he'd pick me and JoJo "in any order and it doesn't matter" or something to that effect. To me, that translates as "I'm picking JoJo first because I like her more, and you come as a second priority to her." That means I have two options: either remedy this by getting closer to Jeff or allow JoJo to GoGo. JoJo: We exchanged like one PM before the team selection. Jeff told me he liked her, but I still have no reason to want to work with her. If he really is closer to her, it could work to my benefit to have her evicted. If she's evicted then it reduces the target as a whole on what's left of Team jeff (ie me). Wil: Fodder at this point Team DIAF: Andrew: I love Andrew as well, and he would probably be my second choice of a Coach after Jeff (although maybe not - read Annie). I think I significantly out-jew-ed him in PM (idk if you know but I'm jewish IRL and my family is all Israeli, so I know the Jew shit), and that warmed him up to me - or so I'd like to think. I could see myself working with him, but I'd definitely want to stay in his good graces. Ian: I'm mixed on Ian. I like him, and I don't see myself going after him anytime soon, but he's generally slow to respond to PMs and such, and I feel like he has other loyalties already...just a vibe I get. We'll see because there's definitely potential here. Frank: This guy is the biggest enigma of all. He said that he would keep Danielle safe if I would keep JoJo safe, and I'm not sure if he was joking just because we were talking about girls as bros do. At the same time for some reason I really don't trust him, and I would love if someone else took him out week one. Truth be told I probably wouldn't have the balls to do it, but something about him rubs me the wrong way, and I don't like it at all. Danielle: My showmance :<3. We're totally playing this up in PMs and we've agreed to keep it a secret. She may be a liability to me at some point because apparently a few people (ie JoJo and maybe Jenn) don't like her. W/e. I want her safe for now. I'm sort of glad jeff kept her off our team because now there isn't an obvious target on us. Ideally I would love for us to work together. Maybe if she dumps some of her team, and I dump some of mine we can have a Danielle/me/Andrew/Jeff alliance. Team Iwishitweremine (aka Annie): Annie: So Annie and I enjoy making fun of each other in PMs. I know MP is a triple threat: strategy, social, and challenges. It would probably be great for me if Annie were mysteriously medevac'd, but at the same time hers is the team I wish I were on. Jeff said he wanted me, Joe, and JoJo, but Annie has Joe and Jodi - the two people I was closest with. If we were to team up with one team I would choose team Annie. Jodi: We already have a deal to "share info" as she said, but I really like the bitch, and I think I can trust her. I've already told her I'm trashing her to a couple other people (namely Jeff/Frank), but I think the two of us can do some serious damage. Hopefully we can work beyond the team thing to keep our alliance going. Joe: My other favorite. I know he likes Jodi, and I know we like each other. If I had to pick a number one I'd probably go with him. I even made a joke about "legitimate rape stoping pregnancy with him." :lol: As much as I wish I were with Joe, it's probably good to spread my allies out. He's someone I could definitely see myself working long term with. Kara: She seems really nice, but I've probably connected with her the least out of anyone on this team. Her PMs don't really contain much substance, and as much as I wanted to work with her originally she seems disposable at this point. If Annie wins the Coaches Challenge (highly likely IMO) I would hope she doesn't save Kara. Team Red: Rachel: I loved watching Rachel in BB13, and I love PMing her here, but unfortunately her team sucks as a whole. Jeff mentioned wanting to align with her because they were close in BB13, but I can't imagine anything less desirable. I've sent about two PMs to Jenn, 1 to Ashley, and zero to Willie :rolleyes:. If I win HoH at least one nomination will for sure come from this team. I could do write ups for the people but I have nothing to say. I want them all out. Summary... People I want to work with: Joe Jodi Danielle People I want to GTFO: Team Rachel Frank one of JoJo/Wil |

This is amazing.
Am I reading this wrong are you both trying to leverage your own teammates with other? I suppose the corollary is how much loyalty to ones team is there all around? Outside of Jeff saying he would want your team to align with Big Red's, is there any sort of discussion about splitting the house like that? |

I'm not entirely sure what you mean re: Frank. My point was that I don't trust him, but I would like if he left (preferably ASAP) by someone else's hand. Big Jeff also said to just let things flow, and at this point I think an alliance with Annie's team would be best for me. If it turns into Annie/Jeff vs. Rachel/Andrew then maybe I would put up Frank...but I'd want him evicted. |

I just thought it was curious how he was all like "I'll keep [my teammate] safe if you keep [your teammate safe]." I'd think if there was any notion of "playing as a team" within your team, that should be a no-brainer on both ends. |

The whole thing was just so sketchy. Idk, it's hard to explain (my state of intoxication may be part of the reason), but something just gives me a bad vibe. Like it's obviously easy for me to just say: Okay, me, JoJo, Danielle, Frank - us four. But that's just too easy, and it won't work. |

Drunk for night one? Do you find that helped or hindered your game? |

Look at Jack's post count, Shane. He had two posts in the admin section and then said that to everyone else. Sorry. You're nothing special. |
