Pre-Game/Staff Questions

[Kat]

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. Do you have a set strategy coming into AS?

Ummmmmm, Yeah! I plan to be ~Fabulous~!!!

Andrew is going to bring his social game to the next level! I honestly feel I kinda fluked my way into a bunch of HoH wins last game, and while I am proud of the game I played I do not expect to be able to replicate my challenge game this go around. But I am gonna bring my A-game and do everything I can to win!

2. Have you started socializing yet?

I am a glam social god! I am all about the socialization ~Katniss~! Outside of my season (Estelle<3<3<3, Talla <3<3, Ryan <3), I have had interaction with Roddy (Levine<3), Rhian<3, Dave<3, Sam<3, GM<3, Frank<3, and James <3. Like seriosuly, I like everyone I've met so far. Allstars seasons are so weird in that way.

3. Which two houseguests are you most and least excited to be playing with?

Rhian, Sam and Frank. I know I cheated and gave you three. But I think that these three players are people I will have very strong connections with and I think they all have vibrant personalities. I have never played with any of them in past games, which puts them over the likes of Roddy, Estelle, Talla, and Ryan in terms of my excitement to be in the game with(all of whom I've had the opportunity to play with before).

I am not excited to play with Dixie or Drew. Drew seemed like a floater during his season, and I haven't seen him online yet. 

Dixie is someone I have very mixed opinions about. On one hand, she is this great player who I have a lot of respect for - I didn't get to see it when I played with her, but knowing who she is after the fact I am aware she is a smart, observant, competitive player and I appreciate that. On the other hand, she basically trolled her way through the game we played together, and decided then to lie to me at final 3 for no reason (I never even broke my word to her, we just never promised each other anything). I mean, I worked my ass off through that whole game, and she maybe was on AIM twice. If she plays this game differently I will change my opinion of her, but for now? NOT excited to play with her.

4. Any alliances? If not, what alliances do you want to happen? What alliances do you think is out there?

No large alliances. I have some individual people I am very close with but I am not going to try and force them into a group together. I think alliances are better for surivor than big brother. What you need in BB are individual relationships, and I think I have the chance to create those with Roddy, Estelle, Talla, Sam, Dave, Frank, James and maybe Ryan? haven't talked to many others yet though.

5. Do you think you have what it takes to be crowned the winner of BB: Rise and Fall AS?

Abso-Goddamn-lutely! I had what it took the first time and fumbled a challenge. I am not saying I was robbed (Estelle <33333) but I think it would have been a close fight if I had ended up beside her!

6. Rank the houseguests based off how much you trust them, think how threatening they are, etc.

1. Roddy/Estelle
I am not going to sell either of these two out. I ~lurve~ both. They are tied for now but we will see how the game goes on, if one starts getting super shady I will migrate to the other, but for now I think both are entirely sincere.

3. Talla
Talla is loyal, but you have to be a little careful with what you tell her because she is passionate and sometimes that means people will slip with information.

4. Rhian
I ~lurve~ her! Initially I was super nervous about entering a game with her because she seemed like a deadly player, but I think we really hit it off. She'd probably be higher if I wrote this down the line, but in reality I met her today, so I can't trust her quite as much as I trusted the past allies  I've already worked with.

5. Sam 
Sam is awesome. Like Rhian, I think his placement may change compared to where he is me, because we have really hit it off. But for now, I have ranked him among the upper end of people I socially get along with but haven't had the chance to 100% get to know yet.

6. Frank
Frank is someone who I like a lot, but I am slightly wary because I feel he has a lot more options than just me. He does have a winner target, I'll give him that, but he has admitted to being close to GM, and he worked with Levine heavily during his season. Those are two big players right there. He is also quite personable, but for now I think we get along well enough that I won't be a target for him.

7. Dave
Dave seems really intellegent. His peronality is very agreeable and I think we will be able to make thins work. But, if we don't end up working together, he might be someone I might need to cut early on because he will be a strong player in this game. He is a strong social player that I would rather work with, than against. But if he chooses the other side, I won't delude myself about the necessity of eliminating him.

8. GinaMarie
I like her, but I am not sure we click 100%. She will be very well connected in this game, and I entirely plan to work with her somewhat, but I don't see us being #1 allies.

9. James
James is articulate and can hold a conversation pretty well. Again, I like him, but I'm not getting that ally 'click'. I hope we do though, cuz he is both smart and polite, which are personality traits I respect.

10. Ryan
I really have no idea how Ryan perceives me. I appreciate what he brought to our season, and I hope he wants to work with me, but I DID kinda choose Talla over him so he might want to get rid of me. I enjoy playing with him but I know I have to be careful.

~Its too late, I will rank the last 9 later~ 

Good night!

And I am cool with all y'all housecalls staff watching my DR!

[Andrew Monaghan]

Wow so that ranking I didn't finish last night is already irrelevant. I think I will do one at the end of the round.

I would like to officially retract what I said about Dixie. I have decided it's all water under the bridge now. Her and I talked a bit and I got to know the real player, and I can't really hold her not taking me against her because I wasn't going to take her either.

[Shir]

You will always be Roddy to me.

[Pyramid Head]

Week #1

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!

[Andrew Monaghan]

1. What was your immediate reaction to the "HOH" challenge?
I was really nervous about maybe going up. I actually cried out of sheer anxiety . JKJK I was pretty sure that I was safe because I had talked to most people, and didn't have a winner's target on my back.

2. What was your tactic behind your point assignment?
Target the people I didn't talk to. TBH I remember I gave points to Joe but I forget who the second person was (Ed?).

3. How did you feel about nominations?
Ummm there were so many that I didn't have a strong opinion on them. Except that Estelle HAD to stay. And Dom.

4. Were you expecting to be nominated? If so, why?
Nah I got a sexy social game going so I figured I was good.

5. How do you feel about Drew being evicted?
Glad it wasn't me or someone I talk to. Drew going is one less relationship I have to make in this game, so I guess that was a plus?

6. Overall, describe how you feel about Week 1.
Week one was very very social for me. I basically talked to everyone except those who are from different areas of the world (because they were not on AIM when I was). I tried to develop as many relationships as possible, because my general philosophy on Big Brother is that I would rather be overconnected than underconnected. If those relationships turn into alliances, great! If not, then hopefully the relationship will be a reason for that person not to nominate me. Sure, I guess that makes me a flakey player from some people's persepctive, but I find that most people are pretty understanding after the game is over that my decisions are made based around strategy, not personal vendettas. But then you get the odd player like Krystal from my season who decides that they hate you based on that style of gameplay. And I won't lie, it sucks to know that someone loathes you for simply trying to play the game to the bet of your abilities, but haters gonna hate? 

7. List any alliance(s) you currently are part of.

The ~official~ alliances I am part of are:

Andrew's Angels <3 - Andrew/Estelle/Rhian/GM

Jackass 5 - Andrew/Roddy (The name is a reference to Starz where I played as Johnny Knoxville from Jackass and Roddy played as Adam Levine From Maroon 5. It's kinda lame so maybe I will change it down the line?)

Hell's Angels - Andrew/Dominic (We were in an alliance of this name when we were on Warzone Allstars Sinners vs Saints together, but he had to leave due to personal reasons. So we are bringing this fab alliance back from the dead!)

I don't have any other alliances, but I could see working with Helen, Sam, Joe, Talla and Frank to varying capacities).
