Aww Skye, so sad to see that you're not playing. I totally get your reasoning though. Playing in games back to back to back is really stressful and draining. Sometimes it's best to step away at that point because they stop being fun and become more of a chore.
I listened to all the videos. I loved them! I want to touch on Heather. It's extremely obvious how much she's pre-gaming [socializing] to get in good with people before the game starts. She made an effort to talk to me almost everyday since her season ended, and it's evident she's doing it with others. It could hurt her? Like, I think she's a kind person in general, but there's definitely motive behind all of it, too. You can tell she really wants to succeed.
Zach and I actually talked a little bit during the finale of his game about what we were thinking. Like Shir said, he did express an interest in working with someone like Heaven, and in turn, Ryan. They're definitely perceived as a package deal. I feel like if people were smart, they'd ally up to that duo to start off; that's what I would've done, myself. I know he wants Keith and Casey gone as soon as possible, same with Mike. Also, when I mentioned possibly working with Heather, he tried to shut it down. I don't think he wants to.
He commented on Shilpa, Nick, and Sofia too. He believes he can work with those three, but they need to be cut sooner rather than later; however, he specifically said this about Shilpa, and to a lesser extent, Sofia.

Also, while working with Heaven and Sofia briefly in SSAS3, Heaven always brought up working together in this game, too. You can definitely expect Heaven and Sofia teaming up, if that wasn't already obvious, lol.
Brian's already making the rounds and trying to secure a good position for himself once the season starts. I'm assuming as soon as he was told that he was given a spot in this game, that he started reaching out to people. He left me a handful of offlines on my original AIM [which I wasn't using during SSAS3] about wanting to talk. I never messaged him back. Oops. ;x
Oh, and Heather told me once or twice how she wants to showmance with Ryan and has claimed she's "obsessed" with him. LOL! I think Kat mentioned Heather telling her, aswell? So, I don't know if she really means that or?
I talked to Heather about some of her game plans a few days ago, and she's very serious about working with Ryan. I was kind of surprised when she expressed this to me, but I think she wants to use him as a shield. The sparknotes of our conversation:
*Would rather work with Skye than Zach. (AWK!) She likes Shadow and isn't coming after him, but feels he can be stubborn and set in his ways which concerns her. She's also concerned that he's connected to a lot of tertiary players.
*She's concerned about a F2 partner. She has a F3 with Shilpa and Casey but knows she is the third wheel.
*She likes Brittany but doesn't think she's a good F2 option because they can't win comps. She goes on to say that she likes Nicole but doesn't see her as a strong F2 option this game. She hopes Heaven goes early so she can have Ryan all to herself.
*She's worried it'll be common knowledge her, Nick, Zach, Shilpa, Casey, and Candice Skype all the time.
*She wants Ash, Danielle and Ika out. (Her and Shadow actually talked about wanting Ash & Danni out during SSAS finale)

I'd like a Heather/Ryan alliance, tbh. It'd be great, especially since they weren't exactly allies in their season. Zach definitely feels the same way about Heather, atleast that's implied from what he told me. I don't think he'd try and get her out, but I don't think he plans to be with her long. He also mentioned wanting Danielle out early, too, and Boog. I don't know why, but I think it's reason of 'annoyance'. Danielle was wishy washy both times he watched her play and I think he dislikes Boog's personality as a whole. I don't know, though. We'll see.
I also forgot to mention, Heaven is very much aware of Nick and how bothered he was about the 'Special POV' twist and the subsequent events that unfolded in S6. It was one of the things I brought up early on to Heaven to try and earn her trust in SSAS3. I think we'll have a Heaven vs. Nick theme early on if they end up in the same house. I like that though, it'll make things exciting.
Ugh lol. Dammit! Jason and I talked about it in shadow AS. I hope he isn't referring to me cuz that's really awkward and not AT ALLLLL anything I meant in an influential way..
