The first few days of the game have been insanely hectic. I've been trying to get to know everyone in the game and managed to do a pretty decent job. There were only a few people at this point who I didn't manage to get to talk to.
Yesterday we get the news of the twist dropped on us. Three different houses, which I think a lot of people suspected based on the number of houseguests we have. I'm not too sure how I feel about it. The fact that the HOH only has 8 nominees to choose from is a little intimidating the first week out of the gate. I was pretty close to winning the first HOH and I honestly would have had the hardest time making a decision, so I feel for Brian a little bit.
The house I'm in seems to be the quieter, more reserved group of people... which could either be a good or bad thing. Makes it difficult to choose from a nominee from this group, especially when everyone in the group seems to be relatively active. We didn't have this problem in my season the first time around! Also, I suck at first impressions and the small talk... so I don't know exactly how to feel at this point. I've talked to Brian a fair amount, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he puts me up on the block. I talk to Boog a lot and she said that when she approached Brian about who he was going to nominate he said he liked her and that he was considering putting up Hayley. When I approached him he said the same thing, but not that he liked me... so that's interesting.
Anyways, onto first impressions. And I'm only going to make my first impressions based on the people from my house, since 26 people is a hell of a lot to talk about.
Boog - As I said, Boog and I actually know each other outside of the game. We've met in real life and talk almost every day. I've played games with her before, and she's awesome. She was my ride or die in one game and we ran shit that game and almost made it to the F2 together. I know she'll share everything she knows in the game with me, and vice versa.
Brian - I've talked a good amount to him, but we haven't had any ground breaking conversations or anything. He seems nice enough but he doesn't really like to give me a lot to work with. He seems to hold a lot close to his chest, so I wouldn't be surprised if he nominates me this week.
Brittany - I'm not really sure how I feel like Brittany. Our conversations aren't very in depth and I've probably talked to her least of all, other than Hayley who I've never talked to.
Danielle - She seems alright, but again we don't really have a lot to say to one another. I've head from Boog that she's kind of that way with her too... she's not very talkative.
Hayley - Have not heard from her... well, sort of. She did say hi to me just before she logged off last night and told me we'd catch up tomorrow.
Heather - There's no doubt that I feel like she's the strongest social gamer in our house. She can carry a conversation and is really easy to talk to. I like her a lot.
Memphis - I actually really like Memphis. He seems like a great guy. We've had some good conversations, so I'm hoping that he feels the same way.
Mike - He was literally just added to our house this morning, so I haven't really talked much to him since we found out our houses last night. We have had a bit of a conversation though, so hopefully that's a good thing moving forward. I'm hoping Mike will be one of the nominees this week, though... solely based on the fact that he's a late comer.
Neda - I think, besides Boog, Neda is probably the one who I talk to most and have the best conversations with. She seems a little bit crazy, but I kind of like that about her. Apparently, as Boog tells me, she has a lot of drama with people from her season... not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Maybe she could even be a nominee? I doubt it though.

I mean... I avoided nominations too, but Drew really thought he might go up on the block. Hopefully Christopher and Shilpa can stay off the block too. That would be nice.
