 Night One DR's - Mostly First Impressions and Live Reactions to everything happening

[Brett]

Now this is something we've never seen before in the Diary Room. Much cooler than a big wall of text

[Van]

Haha, I thought it would be kind of fun. Won't be a super regular thing but that makes the video DR's more special.

10-24-16 (HOH Comp and Results)


So, it looks like Luci is our first HOH! I’m pretty good with that honestly, since we seem to be good. She said I’m not in any danger which I hope is true, haha. I like Luci and I’ll keep playing it cool with her for now, since I don’t want to tell her what to do with her HOH. Hopefully as long as we keep being cool I can form some sort of duo alliance with her. I’m not ready to commit to any big alliances if those are happening but I can do a duo or trio to watch over and have my back if anyone wants to make that happen. The less promises I can break during this game, the better. 

It’s a shame about Bryson, Christian, Gabe and Michael being have-nots though. Literally most of them I’m cool with and I wanna work with. Tomorrow at some point I’ll give them a message and just see where their thoughts are at because, well…I want to work with them! Simple as that.


Sadly this is my tiny little DR for today because I gotta get off the internet and take care of some stuff. Hopefully this first round will go smoothly!

CHEN STORE

WELL IT LOOKS LIKE I SPOKE TOO SOON BECAUSE ALL OF A SUDDEN OUR MYSTERY DOOR OPENS GEEZ

As far as it goes, there isn't anything I REALLY want at the Chen Store right now. Sure, a Never Not Pass would be nice to have just in case but you know, I feel it might be better to save my Chen's for something better down the road, or if I feel like I REALLY need something. It's the first round, so I think I can just chill and window shop for now.

10-25-16 (HOH Nominees and Picks for the Veto)


Phew, Luci was truthful and I wasn’t put up on the block! Joe and Joner are on the block, and looks like I’ll be playing in the Veto comp! Getting to play in our season’s first veto comp, is kind of exciting, but still a bit nerve-wracking. I don’t want to completely embarrass myself for the comp because I’m a naturally competitive person when it comes to challenges, but I also don’t want to come as some sort of challenge beast this early into the game. If I were to win Veto, I wouldn’t want to be put into that awkward spot this early in the game since I’m not on the block. I don’t have any super positive feelings on Joner/Joe so I don’t think I’d play the Veto for either one of them but other people could always want other things and I don't wanna deal with that on Week 1.

But at the same I could try my hardest and still embarrass myself and not win Veto so who knows


We’re also doing these extra comps…so we’re guessing who will be going for OTT tomorrow. And I honestly hardly follow OTT so I’m going with everyone else’s guess for who’s going, and I picked Alex for HOH because she was my preseason winner pick and I might as well stick it out and hope for her to do well, haha. Would be nice to have a cute little badge on Reddit for picking her if they’re still doing that.


So, I think that’s really it for today! I talked a bit with a few people, bet some Chens, and sent a message to Matt since I think I forgot to send him one at the start of the game OOPS. I got a live challenge for a Survivor game in like 5 minutes so hopefully nothing too crazy happens here because we just swapped in my Survivor game and I don’t feel like dealing with two things that are changing us up you hear me


And I made this last night since I’m still trying to work out everyone’s names/usernames so I figure I could keep this handy dandy chart prepared to talk about my current feelings on everyone.


CAST STATUS



Tyreke: tyreke/Dude with the Arthur icon lmao. Pretty good guy from first impressions. Best of luck to him in the Veto comp.

Bryson: ilikebryson/dude with the Veto icon. Gotta talk to him more.

Joe: joeshmoe47/has a fox for his icon. He’s nominated and I think he’s dead oops

Christian: harmonyking1185/cute blue thing for icon. Seems like a cool dude, sent him a quick message once he got back into the house.

James: paulfriendship/literally has Paul but his name is James kill me. Gotta talk to him more.

Luci: lucibelle97/herself as her icon. I love her, so much spunk in her. I approve of her choices for HOH, hopefully we can continue to click and we can make something together.

Michael: moonman23/has the moon as his icon. Things seem to be going alright with him now that he’s back, hopefully I can work on making a deal with him later in the game.

Joner: jonerjukes/also has Paul as his icon like y’all I like Paul but. He’s nominated and we haven’t talked a whole ton. I want to but if I win Veto and he wants to take me off the block I don’t wanna do that it’s too early in the game for stuff like this AHHH

Gabe: gabe/has his own pic which he’s looking pretty fly good for you Gabe. Still like him, said hello to him and I’m hoping in the case that Joner (or even Joe LMAO) takes himself off the block hopefully Gabe stays safe since I like him.

Corey: corey/has a pic of a shirtless dude from Real World or something as his icon. I need to talk to him more oops. He’s playing in the Veto comp so I should see where his head is at.

Matt: matt123/used the Avatar Maker for his icon. I think he’s literally the only the only international guy in the cast so it’ll be easy to remember him. Sent him a message, he’ll respond hopefully when he wakes up.

Sam: I LITERALLY FORGOT ABOUT SAM LIKE I LOOKED AT THIS AGAIN BEFORE CREATING THE POST AND I WAS LIKE "Huh this looks kinda small is this really the whole cast?" and then I REALIZED I FORGOT SAM OOPS. We've talked a bit today and they seem alright but MAN that's awful of me

Yep, I think I've called him Paul at least 3-4 times this season already.

10-26-16 (Veto Competition)

I didn’t talk with anyone much today because irl stuff is keeping me busy. Wednesdays are the best days because of Survivor and my favorite class and the worst days because I literally hardly have time to chill because of school + my favorite class taking UP so much of my time. So today’s DR will be a quick one


So for the Veto comp I’m a bit mad at myself because when Otev wanted first evicted houseguests like I WAS ON THAT SHIT like I got Joey’s pic first and everything! But then I fudged up by forgetting to add in her season number! AGH! So I was eliminated basically first because Tyreke, Corey and Joe literally didn’t show up for the comp so RIP ME. But I got to play in Otev when so many others didn’t get to, so I’m okay with it in the end. Like I didn’t want to win Veto but man when I’m in the competition I just say “f that” and I really need to learn to chill back in comps. But it doesn’t matter because Luci ended up winning the Veto! Man, what a boss.


And the last thing OTEV wanted just reminded me that I still have a US history exam to study for so I think that’s all for tonight! What a week for Luci, good for her! And my slide and glide happily strategy seems to be working out for Week 1, phew! I don't think I'm on anyone's radar and I can just continue to rely on my social game to float along for another week. Hopefully Luci doesn’t surprise me or anything with that Veto tomorrow.

10-27-15 (Veto Ceremony Results)


Luci didn’t use the Veto, which means I’m safe for the week! Woohoo! I won’t have to add first evicted houseguest to my slowly growing ORG record. Everyone I’ve talked too seems pretty good about voting Joe out, so hopefully that remains to be the plan! I can breathe easier now and I’ll talk to Joner a bit more since he’s probably feeling a bit anxious. I don’t blame him and I can relate to that feeling.


Tyreke though told me that he felt something is a bit off about this whole week. He didn’t go into specifics with me since he’s at work and we only talked a bit on his break but hopefully I can get some useful intel from him. Though this IS Big Brother. Does he really think something is up with this week’s vote? Is he just trying to get me paranoid?




As for our weekly DR’s, I guess I’ll give them an answer now!



Who is your strongest ally in this game?

I’d probably say Michael for now, since I haven’t made any deals with anyone. He’s friendly and social and we seem to connect pretty well. Hopefully if we make any deals down the road people will see him as the bigger threat. And depending on what Tyreke has to say to me later maybe he’ll join this list we’ll see.


What is the most important thing that has happened to you in this game so far?

Not winning Veto was probably in my best interest so that was probably the most important thing. Like I’ve said, I didn’t want to disrupt anything during Week 1 where we’re still getting to know each other and I don’t feel like getting involved with any messiness so soon.


Are there any alliances that you agreed to join that you really don't want to be in? If so, why?

Not a single one! I’m not even IN any alliances right now because I’m not making any and no one’s invited me into one. Should be worried about that at all? Well, I didn’t make any alliances and only made a single deal with one person during Round 1 of Aeolian Islands while mostly everyone else had already made at least once alliance. And look how that turned out for me. : )


Gonna Becky Burgess this game except I’m gonna win this whole thing y’all #vanupdate


Would you rather want to be viewed as a social powerhouse or a challenge conqueror, and why?

I’d rather be viewed as a social powerhouse because, well, that’s what my strength is in the first place! I didn’t impress anyone during that first Veto comp which is A-OK with me. I’m a bad liar and even more awful at pretending to be something I’m not so I might as well come across as my best strength instead of trying to be something I CAN’T be.


What is something that really annoys you in the real world (a pet peeve)?

DIRTY DISHES. Gonna tell these people to clean their dishes tomorrow morning. Gah.


So, that’s it for tonight! Maybe I’ll do a mini update if Tyreke gets back to me tonight and if he has any juicy info that I’d feel I need to share right away but otherwise I think I’m in an okay spot. I don’t appear to be on anyone’s radar so I can hopefully squeak by during the next round too.
