Week 1 - Final 14

The Unlucky..... 14? Thirteen players felt more appropriate in a season based on luck, which was the only thing making me thing that MAYBE the person who got the most votes in the first HoH might be going home. Ultimately, the thing that most of us sussed out came true, the biggest vote getter was our first Head of Household!

I hadn't spoken much to Kristen Stewart... I mean Kaitlin... before nominations, but I didn't vote for her so I felt like I was not in a ton of trouble. I think I was totally correct in voting for Austin the first time. He was a middle of the road guy who was a total douche-nozzle in the first day, but we talked since and I feel fine about him now. I also like Kaitlin, who isn't on much but is very cool.

Amy and Clay are the nominees. Amy is a hot mess, but hot messes seem to always seek me out and find me. I'm like the hot mess whisperer. Clay is very good at ORGs, I'm willing to bet. He's online, like, all the time, and he's sensitive and inquisitive once you get him to drop the stupid cowboy thing. It feels random that we have these two up, but I guess that's what happens when you give the power to someone who doesn't really have time to make the decisions.

I'm waiting for the game to move into full-gear. We've had a slow start which is allowing people to feel each other out.

Last thing before I go, why did I pick Mark as my character? Mark is from the only season of BBUK that I have watched, and I felt like he was pretty memorable and likely had a lot of photos out there to work with! I wanted to pick a BBUK contestant because most people don't watch the international seasons and I felt like that would give people a clean slate when thinking of me. I didn't want to pick a real favorite of mine that people might judge. Janelle in our game must have some massive balls to pick such a titan. That or she's just really bad at games, she asked me for an alliance on the first day.

I added a poll to this thread. Please feel free to give me feedback! I don't know anything about how things work in this series.

I like a bit of everything in a DR!

David apparently really wanted those nominations to stay the same, because he was our veto winner this week! Why does a guy with almost no investment in how the week will play out try so hard in the competition and out himself as a challenge threat? He just must want to make this game that much easier for me.

Due to David not switching any of the nominations, we are left with Clay and Amy on the block. To me, the vote was easy, Amy has to go, right? Clay has had a strong social game with me since moving to AIM, in fact, I would consider him the person I'd be most likely to work with moving forward. You can imagine my surprise, then, when everyone messaged me saying they were voting for Clay to be evicted. Amy has really made no efforts to message me since the first day, and she didn't campaign for my vote whatsoever. Weird.

I don't feel I was very successful in Week 1 of this game. I didn't really make any strong connections and one of the people I was feeling best about in this game was voted out. I hope that in Week 2 I can advance my game forward in some way.

This confessional wasn't funny enough..... penis.
