Honestly I worry so much about not being able to be around tomorrow because I imagine people will be WAAAAAAY more active. Today has been fairly quiet. Not quiet like I am worried people are talking without me. But just quiet like I am ready to get to the actual talking and not the boring fake "this is gonna be fun!" talking! Anyway, I will now give you a breakdown of the cast and my opinions on them. Powers rankings TBD once I give some of these later arrivals more of a chance! AUBRY: She is someone I am high on. Good sense of humor, keeps up conversation. Her name has been mentioned by others, which means she is also probably good at the game and knows the importance of opening bonds. I think her and I will get along as the game continues. BRENDA: I don't know why, but I expected more out of Brenda. My conversation with her has been fairly lackluster. Like, if I send her a three sentence PM and she replies with one sentence, she isn't giving me much to work with. I keep trying though. CHELSEA: She showed up late so I haven't gotten much of a chance to talk to her yet. She made a bunch of posts and has talked to a lot of people though, so she is definitely not an inactive. She was asking me advice about Tinder dates, so she will be entertaining that's for sure. Also, I lied and pretended I knew all about internet dating which, spoiler alert, I do not! But yeah, I imagine she'll be a big factor as the game continues. Everyone who has had time to talk to her likes her. CHRIS: This guy has not even posted on the check in thread OR read the PM I sent him. And I know he has been online, I saw him on at one point. So throw Chris in the inactive category. Good luck making it past the first boot! CIERA: BEST. PLAYER. EVER!! ERIK: Pretty much a non factor now. Someone people have not heard from him at all. He is definitely NOT reaching out first. He replied to me, but nothing worth noting. He is just another photo on the board. FABIO: I think I like Fabio. No legit conversation about anything, but we kept up conversation last night, so I imagine once people start talking game he will be easy to talk game to. Anyone who can keep up a multiple sentence convo over the course of night one, even without any game talk, has potential. FRANCESCA: WHO? Honestly I know I exchanged at least a message with her and my mind is a blank. IAN: Still have a crush on his avatar. Still finding the communication real lacking. JEREMY: I am uncertain about Jeremy right now. I feel like we have exchanged A LOT of messages and communicated quite a bit, but I also feel like we haven't said a ton. I don't know if it's because we are both waiting for the other to broach game talk, or if Jeremy just doesn't want to talk any real game yet. Still for some reason I want more from him and feel like there is potential there. KASS: She has to be new at this game. I messaged her last night, she replied, I replied. I saw her online today and sent her a new message. She replies to BOTH messages as if she didn't realize they were both from the same person. Survivor 101: If you have two messages from the same person, read them both and then respond! Nothing kills a conversation quicker than messaging someone the same thing essentially twice without realizing you are doing it. (And as I write this I have probably done the same thing at some point, if so SORRY KASS!!) KEITH: Who is better... the guy who logs on, doesn't check messages, and doesn't post on the check in thread OR the guy who logs in, doesn't check messages, but does make ONE post on a check in thread? I don't know the answer to that. But if that one post gets you to day 6, Keith, more power to you. LISA: LOVE. HER. I swear it's because I am vain and I feel like I am her favorite, which basically just makes me want to be her best friend. And she is probably Julie from last season and everyone feels exactly how I do. :lol: :lol: MICHELLE: Multiple people have mentioned Michelle's name and I am like "WHO?!" My conversation with her is on par with every other person I have deemed boring. "Hello, can't wait to play, yay!" And nothing more. But clearly there is something more there if people are into her. I guess maybe because we haven't been online at the same time there is a disconnect there. I'll have to work at it. PHILIP: I am a fan of this guy for sure. He is going to be good in this game. People like him, he's a good talker. There is not much I can say other than Philip is gonna be someone to watch and someone I for sure want on my side. TASHA: Big fan of her as well. At first I felt like she was quiet and not talking too much to everyone, but I think that was a misread and she is more social than I originally imagined. She seems to be a fan of the same people as everyone else (Aubry, Philip, Michelle are the names that keep coming up). But she is also willing to talk and share this information. And anyone already willing to share information is someone I really want to stay close to. WOO: Who? Honestly, at least everyone remembers Keith and Chris because no one has heard of them. People like Woo and Erik that have been on and been messaging people but people still can't remember are pretty difficult to categorize. Not an inactive per say, but nothing memorable at all. YUL: Ugh, oh Yul! What to say! The first person to log on after me, the first person I talked to. What a snooze. I swear to you in the last few messages we have exchanged he has used the word "fun" so many times that I want to puke a little. Like how many ways can he say he just wants to have fun in this game? Yeah, Yul, we all do. But there are probably other things we could be talking about. :rolleyes: I am sure this will all change as the weekend goes on, and I am sure people will for sure be shit-talking me over the next 48 hours when I am locked in a conference room at a hotel learning about the new software my work is going to be using, but DAMMIT I feel like I am at least good to go for the first vote. And then I've just gotta move forward from there. I am certainly non inactive, and I will at least be able to check in briefly Saturday night, and I'll be able to hang out leading up to the challenge Sunday. You know how it goes. There is always an actual inactive or two that is an easy first boot. Here's looking at you, Chris and Keith. Thanks for giving the rest of us more time in the game! |

Been sitting around since writing that confessional waiting to hear back from someone ANYONE I have messaged and... nothing! And I work hard to try and be the last person to send a message, I try to never read something and not respond. So as far as I am concerned, they all owe ME responses! Don't get my wrong, I'll start sending out MORE messages eventually. But if it's gonna be this quiet I may be better off going to bed and trying to get messages out super early tomorrow before work. Decisions, decisions..... |
