*Said in That Sexy, Deep Movie Trailer Voice*
Brace yourselves...
for the most ~REAL~ and ~FAB~ confessionals you will ever see in your life.
Get Ready!
For all of the lols. Like at least five or six DOZEN 'lols' throughout this thread. I promise!
Tune in,
For blindsides, backstabing, betrayals!
(And Breathtaking good looks! ^_^)
Prepare yourself...
For...
Love?
This winter (unless you are a lolzy Aussie), follow the story of a man determined to make it to the end of a game. Witness his personal growths, as he takes down all his fellow competitors. Watch him, as he struggles through tough decisions because his amazing personality allows him to bond with basically everyone! And love him for his humble nature and modest charm!

Alrighty folks! Time for me to give a run down on what I feel is going on in this game. I am not going to ~RANK~ houseguests but I will tell you what I think of them. There are still a few people who I haven't made contact with, but too bad so sad, this needs to be done!
~Season 1~
Frank - Frank is pretty chill. He has a good sense of humour (#Canadianspelling), and he is clearly a strong player since he won a season. I know that him and Roddy are decently close, and he has a good relationship with Gina Marie. Him and I haven't really talked too much strategy, but I do think that the option to do so is there. It just hasn't really come up yet. I don't see him leaving any time soon unless an anti-winner sentiment develops. He is likely to be a threat in this game.
Kevin - No contact yet. But from what I have read, he seems like a pretty great allstar! I hope he lives up to the hype!
Kristen - She seems intellegent and friendly. Unfortunately I didn't feel like our conversations were as great as some of the others I have talked with. She is also someone that Roddy is worried about. Despite the fact that I like her, she seems like someone I could potentially vote for relatively early on in the game.
Roddy - Roddy is one of my best friends in the ORG world. Him and I played in Starz 2 together and went to the end, and ever since we have been pretty close friends. He is the only person that I ever skype'd with from that I didn't already know in real life. Going into a game with him is always weird, because we tend to connect with different people in games and end up kind of being in different alliances? But still working together? Lets just put it this way, I love him and I am going to be totally loyal to him in this game, but our facebook status will forever read 'it's complicated'.
Shane - I have never played a game with Shane before, but I have seen him play in others. I think a lot of people really underestimate him, but in reality he has a very strong Under The Radar kind of gameplay. He is friendly and sociable without being overbearing. And it seems like he has a good grasp on house dynamics. I also think he is just a nice, straight up guy. I think he kind of represents a threat in that he could easily slide by for a large portion of the game. But for now I am not concerned with evicting him.

~Season 2~
Dave - I have talked a bit with Dave, and he is articulate and personable. I also looked back and saw he was considered one of the strongest players in his season. He has a lot going for him. However, he has been kind of shady with Dominic, and I am not sure what to think about that. It also seems like some of that shade was thrown in Estelle's direction, and obviously I am not a fan of that. He was also saved by Drew, but I figured that was probably the case.
Dominic - I have known Dominic for a long time, but we have never really had the opportunity to play together. We did play briefly in one game, but he had to leave early for personal reasons outside of the game. I have also played in his series, BB Starz. I wasn't sure what to think of Dominic going into this, but he has told me that he really wants to work with me. And he would be wiling to make me his #1 ally. Thats a little awkward for me, because I already have some people I am very close with, but I am going to try and make room for him in my plans, because I have a lot of respect for the guy. I will do what I can to bail him out of trouble (I DONT want him leaving this round), and keep what he tells me quiet. But I can't tell him all my information without jeopardizing my game. It's a fine line to walk.
Drew - No contact. I intend to evict him this round if possible.
James - James is on AIM a lot, and that makes me feel he will have a strong social game. He is easy enough to talk to, but we have yet to talk any real game except for that 'apocolypse' speculation (lol). I think he also has a pretty strong connection with Talla, which makes me think that maybe I would have an 'in' with him later depending on how this game shakes out. I think he is probably the player that is on the best terms with the majority of the season 2 players, which could be intimidatin because their alliance made it to the end in tact.
Joe - So I feel I am the reason Joe was nominated this round and I feel soooooooo bad. We hadn't talked before HoH, so I selected him at random for my points. Then immediately after we finish HoH, we talk, and I find out he is hilarious. #Regret. Either way, I don't think he is in large danger of leaving this round unless he goes off the handle. I don't think he is seen as a huge threat in this game, and he has a decent chance of winning veto.

~Season 3~
Andrew - Andrew Monaghan is flawless. He has two Fendi purses, and a silver Lexus. I hear his hair is insured for ten thousand dollars, and I've heard he does car commercials, in ~Japan~. His favorite movie is varsity blues. One time, he met John Stamos on a plane, and he told him he was handsome. One time, he punched me in the face... it was AWESOME!
Dixie - I am looking forward to playing with Shadow. Last time I met Dixie but never got to see her real personality. This time, I think I will have more of a working relationship with her, especially because I won't be underestimating her this go around. I am still somewhat wary of her, because she is a very large threat in this game and she took me out last time. But ideally that is water under the bridge now.
Estelle - <3333. I am so happy we have another chance to play together. She is so fierce and fab. The only downside right now is that I don't think her and Roddy have much intention of working together this game, but I am hoping that will somehow change. She is someone who levels me out, and gives me room to play my own game while she plays her. I am gonna ~werk~ to get her through this round.
Ryan - I *really* want to get along better with Ryan this time than last time. But our conversations are just awkward. I'm not sure why, but we don't click as much as I do with most people socially. That said, he might also have that problem with other people, not just me? I think he is a really smart player, which is a double edged sword because it means he will either see me as a potential ally or seem me as a threat that needs to go, and nothing I can say will change his mind cuz he can see through bs. I just need to figure out whether he will have my back.
Talla - I ~lurve~ Talla. She is so funny and can make me laugh every time she opens her mouth. She really was the perfect choice to play that character. I am a little nervous about her being a bit of a loose cannon strategically, but last game she made for a pretty awesome ally. I can't wait to see what she brings to the season this time, and would like to go deep into the game with her.
OMG I LOVE the show! I've also read all the books. It's my favorite series of all time
Oberyn gonna be good. If only Book 4 took the "more shorter chapters" approach like the others instead of the "half as many chapters, but twice as long" one.
Post by Andrew Monaghan on Jan 16, 2014 1:39:05 GMT -5
I'm looking forward to seeing so much this season. Oberyn is definitely on the list! I think its going to be an amazing season.
Anyways, back to BB Rise And Fall.
Season 4
Ed - I haven't met him yet. He is in a different timezone which makes things hard.
GinaMarie - Ahh the season 4 winner. I really like talking with her, and she actively talks to me. I really appreciate that in a person. So many people make you do all the work and she is not one of them. We are in an alliance right now (her/me/Rhian/Estelle) called Andrew's Angels <3. We actually both independently thought of that name, which I find to be lulzy. I think out of the four of them she is the one I will have the least strong relationship with but I still get along with her great.
Helen - I have to say I am *very* pleasantly surprised by Helen. I don't know what I was expecting going into this game, but I didn't know if we would mix well. I thought she might kinda be a floater personality. But she is a lot of fun, and I feel like she will add a lot to this game. Our conversations never feel like they drag on, and she seems to have a positive personality which is always a plus. I also think she will be looking for allies in this game, and I would like to help her get further.
Rhian - Out of everyone I have met since starting this game, I feel Rhian is the person I get along with the best. There is this voice in the back of my head that is telling me that she is a huge threat, but we are just very similar in a lot of ways so I am ignoring that voice for now. We have very similar taste in things, and I love her sense of humour. I don't want to fall victim to her like so many did last season, but I believe she is being sincere with me so I intend to make her a big priority to my game.
Sam - I am really glad Sam is in this game. Sad Amanda is not, but glad Sam is. He has spunk and I like it. He is funny and we have genuinely entertaining conversations about life. We haven't really talked game yet but I think its assumed we are on good terms. I haven't heard his name come up at all yet, but if I did, I would tell him. He's just very ~real~.

Britney forever won my love when she released the song Toxic. I liked her before that, but that song is one of my favs ever, and she looks so amazing in the video.

End of Week 1
As the round was drawing to a close, everyone seemed to be settled on Drew. But there were these weird surges of strategic resistance, first there was this 'Evict Estelle' movement but that died pretty quick. Then there was an 'Evict Drew' push at the eleventh hour. Considering that the two of them actually have personalities and Drew was INV, I wasn't too thrilled. I mean it's Week 1 and I am safe, so I can't really complain too much but I'm glad Drew ended up leaving.
I think there may have been an alliance of Drew/James/Dave because they seemed like the movers and shakers of the 'Save Drew' crew. I also think Talla could be a part of it because I know she is friends with James from a previous game. Personally, I feel James and Dave really over played by trying to flip the vote so late. Despite the fact that we get along, it felt a little telling to me that they messaged like 8 people to see to tryand flip the vote without messaging me.
After the round was over, I talked to Joe and told him what I knew about the vote (basically that four of his votes were Talla/Ed/James/Dave). Hopefully he trusts me a little more because I shared that info with him and hopefully he does not reveal that it was me who told him. I DID feel he deserved to know, but I didn't want a target because of it. Later on, I found out that Helen was the fifth vote and Roddy was the Ryan vote. My lips will remain sealed on both fronts because I value both as players in this game, and want them to get as far as possible.
