Pre-Game/Staff Questions

[Pyramid Head]

Staff Questions:

1. Do you have a set strategy coming into AS?
2. Have you started socializing yet?
3. Which two houseguests are you most and least excited to be playing with?
4. Any alliances? If not, what alliances do you want to happen? What alliances do you think is out there?
5. Do you think you have what it takes to be crowned the winner of BB: Rise and Fall AS?
6. Rank the houseguests based off how much you trust them, think how threatening they are, etc.
7.
Since this is an AS season, we do trust the housecallers that we have
watching the game. If you go to members you can see who is staff and
whatnot. If you don't want a select few to view your DR that is fine but
we strongly recommend that you allow everyone the same experience! List
the members who you don't want to have access. Anyone in the
"Housecalls 1" group is mandatory.

Thank you and good luck!

1. I don't want to throw anything. I know, right? Shocker. I threw a ton of the earlier competitions last season because I was trying to play middle-woman and not ruffle many feathers early on. I didn't want to expose my hand. Here, I feel like it's a different story. This is All-Stars. Everyone is here to play and everyone is here to go hard. Go hard or go home, right? I want to try in every competition I'm in because you never know which one could be your last. This is going to be an intense season and I want power to make game decisions.

2. I have! I've spoken to everyone except Kevin, Dominic, and Drew. I know that Drew is in a different timezone so it'll probably always be hard to catch him; Bart's level in a way. Kevin made some sort of post today mentioning France? If he's from France, then it could be the same thing for him too. Dominic, I know of, but haven't ever played with him or spoken to him, really. Everyone else I've met and have had more than one conversation with at this point. I'm just going to keep my socializing up so I'm not perceived inactive.

3. I'm most excited to play with GinaMarie again. Of 'course! This person became a good friend of mine. We met through this game and that'll always be one of the things I'm most thankful for. Meeting her made last season so worth it. Um, who else. Dixie! Hello. I haven't played a game with her for a hot minute. We usually always work really well together, but if we're still both around closer to the end, we start to get a little dirty and almost always go for eachother's allies in order to weaken the other. But I'm 2-0 in getting the upperhand over her in the end, so we'll see if we can both even get to that point again. Not excited to play with? Probably Ed. Self-explanatory.

4. I think it's still pretty early for alliances? I'm sure there are already some, though, I don't know. I'm in the process of trying to finalize some, however. I've floated ideas of GM/Frank/me, Ed/GM/Sam/me, Dixie/Ryan/me, Dixie/Estelle/me, all the girls sticking together, etc. Some are more along than others, but nothing has been made official and no group chats have been made yet. I expect all that to come together a little more into tomorrow night and during the week. Atleast I hope so! Until then, I'm just going to keep feeling people out. I'd love to work with like, Andrew, Kristen, Joe, or even Frank.

5. I think I have what it takes to be the winner of R&F All-Stars! If you don't think you have what it takes, then you shouldn't be here. I learned some lessons from last season. If I feel in my gut that someone needs to go and ASAP, I'm going to act on it. Letting Ed slide by as far as he did instead of axing him sooner was such a mistake on my part, as he was the one that stopped me at the Final 4 and got me sent packing. I need to time my moves and plan accordingly. I kept pushing things off and that was my downfall. Not this time.

6. I ranked my fellow houseguests in order of who I like at the moment and who I don't really care for. Again, it's super early in the game and this is just my opinions based on two days of communication aswell as people who I know I'll work with. I fully expect this list to shift like crazy when the game really starts.

[Pyramid Head]

This was wonderful. Again, good luck and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing you play again despite what our relationship is like outside of games.

Also, I take it as a "I don't care who can see my DR" by omitting question #7?

[Rhian Sugden]

Yes! Everyone can view my Diary Room. Don't get wet, AJ Burman.

Pyramid Head is back! And of course he has some questions for you!

1. What was your immediate reaction to the "HOH" challenge?
2. What was your tactic behind your point assignment?
3. How did you feel about nominations?
4. Were you expecting to be nominated? If so, why?
5. How do you feel about Drew being evicted?
6. Overall, describe how you feel about Week 1.
7. List any alliance(s) you currently are part of.

Good luck!

1. My reaction was simply .. shock. I have never been in a game where the nominations were done in an international format. I love foreign versions of this game! So, I was happy and excited, but also a little let down at the same time. The only reason for that is because I was amping myself up for some intense competition where we'd all be tested on who wanted the power the most in the first week. In addition to that, the nerves and paranoia started to set in. This could've been a disaster round had I ended up on the block. I'm just happy I remained safe and out of harm's way. It was overall an easy week for myself.

2. My tactic was based on communication. I could've easily gone and done Ed for personal reasons, for example, but I made sure to just focus on a game perspective. I hadn't spoken to neither Kevin or Drew at the time of assigning my points, so I felt it only fair to nominate them. Of 'course, since then, I've spoken to Kevin and don't mind him! But, I still stand by my nominations.

3. I felt relieved. I wasn't surprised that Kevin and Drew got the highest majority, because they really were the two people that never signed online the first couple of days. When it started getting into the tie portion, I got nervous. I was thankful that I wasn't a part of that tie, but also fearful for my allies in Estelle and Ryan. Seeing Estelle up there really surprised me. However, if you think about it, 4 points isn't alot. All Estelle would've needed was two people to give her two points and that would've done the trick. Kinda' scary.

4. It's hard to say. I don't want to toot my own horn, but I really did hammer away at the social aspect of the game the first three days. I made sure to talk to every single person atleast once a day, and sometimes more than once. I made sure to balance conversations between personal chatting and game gossip, just so that I didn't appear one-dimensional to anyone. My paranoia kept telling me I'd go up, and I went down the entire cast list and tried to pinpoint who I think could've potentially assigned me points and who I knew wouldn't/

5. I feel ecstatic. So long, sayonara. No love lost. I don't have a care in the world for Drew. I would've felt a little bad, but after the way he acted today, I really don't. First off, his whole thing with campaigning at the last, possible second isn't really respectable. Sure, he gave a fight on his way out, but if he had made the same efforts in previous days, it wouldn't have felt like he was just using people for votes to stay. It was transparent. Then, when someone decided to be straight up and say they didn't want to keep him? Profanities. He called GM a bitch. It's funny, not gonna' lie, but it's so unnecessary. Then I think of who Drew is and it makes a little sense in the way he reacted.

6. I think this first week was rather boring. I mean, I was safe! It was easy. But I didn't really do much in terms of playing or anything like that. There wasn't much to the Head of Household competition, and I wasn't eligible for the Power of Veto. I do think it was a success though, in the sense that I was able to forge two 4-person alliances and also open lines of communication with almost everyone in the house. So for that, I'm thankful. It was just overall a little dull, but that's to be expected. To me, the game hasn't even started yet.

7. I currently have my duo-alliance with GinaMarie. I have individual alliances also with Dixie, Ryan, Shane, Helen, David, and Sam. I'd say that Season 4 is loosely aligned. It's been discussed but it's never been like officially made concrete, but I play the part from time to time. I have a 4-person alliance with Andrew, Estelle, and GinaMarie, and I also have another 4-person alliance with Dixie, Kristen, and GinaMarie. In this round or next, I'd really like to get a thing with Frank. There seems to be an understanding, but I want it official.
