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? Not really. I haven't played in an ORG since RAF2 though, so not much has changed. I have learned from my mistakes however, and know where to make improvements on my game. I need to see if the house will really be split into two (as many are speculating) and how that will work out before I plan too much. Either way, part of my strategy will also now include completing puzzles in under two hours (maybe...no promises...).

2. Have you started socializing yet? Oh yah, the stoner charm is in full effect. I've met almost everyone, though some convos were very short. I only haven't talked to Kevin, Dixie, and Helen.

3. Which two houseguests are you most and least excited to be playing with? Am I supposed to pick from my season I'm guessing since there's five of us here from each? If so, most excited for James. He's my dude and I think I trust him for awhile at least. I guess the other excited spot goes to Drew. He's cool and I don't feel particularly threatened by him. Even though I love Dom and Joe, I'm not looking forward to playing against them. Both pose huge threats to me and I don't think I can trust either of them. I haven't written off working with Joe though (as I will explain...)

4. Any alliances? If not, what alliances do you want to happen? What alliances do you think is out there? Yah I'm made a couple allies, nothing too serious though. I've reconnected with both Joe and James. Joe approached my after talking for a couple minutes, but I think he's just trying to employ a "friends close, enemies closer" approach with me. I think I hid my skepticism well though. James and I started talking earlier today and it was just instantly clear that we could still work together. We talked and strategized some, but it's too early to do anything significant. Shane and I made an alliance too. I was just really stoned and we were having a conversation about cookies, so it seemed like a natural step. He's not someone I trust, but I also don't think he's running around making deals with everyone, so we'll see how things go. Talla and I are pretty much allies too, though we didn't actually say those words. We knew each other from a previous game (DONT HATE ME!) and just reconnected quickly.
I want an alliance with Kristen. She told me I would have been cast as a villain if this was heroes vs villains, so I need her to teach me some of her heroic ways. She's also just interesting and I like that she's studying to be a special ed teacher. As a soon to be school psychologist, maybe we can form a mental health alliance between Kristen, Talla, and myself. I also want an alliance with Sam because he just imed me as I've been writing this and we're now starting a pot business in Colorado.
No idea what alliances there are for sure. I've heard about a possible GM-Frank-Stella alliance, but I don't necessarily believe it. I think the girls will somewhat team up for the first few rounds (maybe even unofficially) just for protection since the females are so outnumbered. Stupid gender alliances . Also there's apparently a rumor going around that the S1 and S2 guys have teamed up (Joe told me and apparently heard it from Dom). I've got to do what I can to distance myself from being associated with that.
5. Do you think you have what it takes to be crowned the winner of BB: Rise and Fall AS? I know I have what it takes.
6. Rank the houseguests based off how much you trust them, think how threatening they are, etc.
It's hard for me to put people into specific placements. It comes down to everyone being a threat to win, but that doesn't make them a direct threat to me. I need to talk to people a little more and such, then I'll report back. My biggest threats though, are the winners and comp beasts (Kevin, Joe, Andrew). A couple other people make my radar for various reasons, namely Ryan, Roddy, and Rhian.

Also, I think I should form a 'MERICAAAAAA alliance. I'm not a fan of all these foreigners

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!

1. Oh fuck again.
2. With so many people I got overwhelmed with who to give my points to and decided to just go with two people that I'd spoken to the least, besides Kevin cause I figured he'd get a lot of votes.
3. Nominations weren't too unexpected. I was glad Drew saved me last minute and that some big threats were nominated. I would say people from S2 were targeted.
4. Somewhat nervous because I knew votes would be scattered, so it could be as easy as two people giving me points.
5. Disappointed, but not surprised.
6. I was initially hopeful after I was saved. I made some solid connections. However, during the insane campaigning today I think I made myself more centric than I had hoped to.
7. All individual deals: Joe (safe to say that's done), Sam, James, Helen, Shane, Rhian (just made yesterday!), Talla, Dixie. Several other people and I have had conversations that imply at least temporary safety with one another, but those are people I made official deals with.
