hi Allstars
Obviously Im pretty damn pumped to be here. It was a LONG road to get my spot....and it feels good to finally get it. Ive wanted it BAD since the very start of URTV9.
But I am also really nervous about this. Many of these people have watched me play, and they kind of know how I roll. It could work against me....but I just have to use it to my benefit. Act like Im doing my normal thang....but then do the opposite. I dunno....just thoughts right now. I mean we havent even crowned an HOH.
This twist is pretty shocking. Definitely not what I expected at all. And I dont really know how I feel about my partner. I have never met him before this game. But in a way that could be pretty cool. I just hope he doesnt mess shit up for me.
This is a giant cast compared to URTV10. There are so many people to talk to....and it is going to be a cut throat game. So I really need to make my rounds and have good chats with everyone. And see where they are at. The partners thing kinda changes things up....so I gotta think of how ppl are gonna do things.
I really like Alex. he will for sure be a force in this game....and I really like having some of those people around me. He knows how to PLAY these games....and he always goes balls to the wall. I think we could potentially work together very well. We are talking a lot so thats step 1 going really well
Alison is someone I have to think about a little more. We definitely have history together. And that will either make or break us. The good thing is we get along. Just normally it seems like we end up on opposite sides. Im trying to make that not the case this time....but because she is another person who I would like to keep close for now.
Amanda is someone that I dont know alllllll that well. But I do think she is pretty cool. Hopefully we can talk some more and see where things go.
Angie
I really like Angie. We got along great in URTV9. The only problem is that Ive heard there are ppl saying I am going to be working with her Dan and Jordan. I dont want a target like that on me. So hopefully I can dispose of it. That doesnt mean I want Angie gone....Im just very aware that we could get grouped together.
Another good friend from URTV9. I know we get along great....and I think if the situation had been a little different in 9....he would have had my back a lil more. I trust him...and it will be a good idea to solidify things with him. Or it could just end up the same.
Good ol' Casey. ANOTHER URTV9 friend. We get a long great.....but he is a tricky one to figure out. He will 100% do what is best for him. We could do some good things together....but I will for sure have my eye on him the entire time.
Oh have me and Dan ever been through a lot together. And I mean a lot. I never would have expected to work with him in second chances....but we did it pretty well. BUT.....again ppl will group me with him. Even more so than with Angie. I would love to work with him....but I just need to make sure it doesnt create a target on us. He has already talked to me about a 4way alliance with Jessica and Natalie. I think it could be cool.....so we will see where that takes us.
I know absolutely nothing about Dick. Nothing at all. We talked for a bit....but dats it. I will for sure have to talk to him more and see whats up. The good thing is he is partners with Jordan, so I dont think I will have to worry about him nominating me. She will have my back.
Im cool with Eric. He can be a really good guy. I think I could trust him. But I will 100% have to get a better read on him for this game. We havent talked much, but I think thats cause of his vacation.
I really like Erika, and I think we could work well together. We've played together a few times and it went aight. We've talked a good amount and I dont think I need to worry about her doing anything crazy. Hopefully he partner doesnt wanna do anything though
Ive grown to like James a lot. We talked a bit during URTV9....just normal houseguest--housecalls chatter. He seemed really interested in how I was doing in URTV10 aswell. We could work great together. And he would be a great person to have around. Hopefully the chips fall in a place where we can work together.
Another one I dont know. And our first convo together didnt help much at all. He seemed pretty damn boring. I could see him going early.....which is bad news bears for Angie. Who knows ....maybe he will surprise me.
Jessica is rad. I really enjoy talking to her. And we are in an alliance together so that works out really well for me. We havent talked game a whole hell of a lot...so that will need to be done. Im not 100% sure where her head is at.
Oh boy did I take a risk asking this dude to be my partner. We seemed to hit it off pretty good. So I think it will work well. I just dont really know where he stands with other people. I will have to get a feel on what others think about him.
Oh boy. Ive talked about ppl pairing me together with other people.....but none as big as this one. Everyone will assume we will be as tight as we were in URTV9. And she has for sure talked to me about working together. Of course I will....but I need to keep my distance from her. The good thing is its true that we havent talked a hell of a lot lately. So that will work to my advantage. But there is no way I can stick my neck out for her this early. I just gotta see what happens. But part of me thinks she could potentially go early.
If anything....I think ppl will pin me and Kail apart from each other. And I think we could use that to our benefit. Maybe have each others backs. Thats for sure what I am going to say to her. And we could do it silently. So thats coo. Again....someone I need to talk to more. Get a feel for things.
We aligned right away. I think we can work very well together. We have gotten ourselves in a 4way alliance.....and we will both be on the same page the entire time. We both have our eyes on Dan....so it will benefit us hugely. If we play things right....we could go far together.
Nick is a rad dude. Someone I would love to work with.....but Im not getting the best feeling from him right off the bat. Ill have to talk to him more....but he seems to be kinda distant. But who knows. We shall see what happens sooooon.
Sarah is awesome. And we work great together. I think we WILL work great together this game. We just need to get a group going that will keep us protected. She seems to think she already has target....so I need to make sure if thats true.
I think I can trust Sheila a lot. She seemed to be really happy I made the cast, so I will get a feel for her situation and see what we could do together this game. For sure someone I feel like I can trust. Just gotta see how far she could help me in this game.
Annnnnnd then there is will. What to do with Will??? He is obviously a threat...so I am going to put myself on his good side for now. I think we would be dumb to let him get far in this game....but its also way too early to pin him against me. We've worked well together before....so Im gonna try using that to my benefit.
This cast is intense. Everyone here is gonna play balls to the wall. So I need to get myself in a good position really quickly. Get a feel for ppl and see what kind of group I can make. Or even groups. I have so many ppl I feel I can work with.....I just have to see where each person falls. I just gotta make sure I dont get myself in a sticky situation.
