Pre-Game Questions

[GinaMarie]

Welcome back! We're so happy to have you back on board for our 2nd All-Stars edition! We're honored and excited that you are here to play again and we can't wait to see how you do this time around. However, we're also dying to know what your thoughts are coming into the game and with this being an All-Star season, we're expecting you to really step it up and go all-out in your DR. What better way to start than to have some Pre-Game questions to answer while we wait for the game to begin?


1. Do you have a set strategy coming into the game? If so, what it is?

2. Since this is an All-Star game, do you know anyone coming into it? What is your relationship like with each of those people? Friends? Rivals? Also, if you do know anyone, do you plan on working with them at all?

3. Is there anyone that you don't think really deserves to be here? Why or why not?

4. What is something that you would like to correct since the last time you've played? Are you worried that your reputation from your previous season could hurt you coming into this?

5. Do you have what it takes to win this game?

6. Any final comments before the game begins?

Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer these questions! If you have any further comments or concerns, please contact a Main Staff member and we'll try our best to promptly help you. Best of luck as you venture into the game!

1. Do you have a set strategy coming into the game? If so, what it is?

Well, can't really prepare considering we don't know what the twist is yet. There has been talk that the house may be divided into 3 houses of 9, which would seem to make sense. Right now I'm just trying to talk to people, make connections, and hopefully build enough of a relationship that I won't be an early target. My concern right now is that a lot of people have pre-game relationships. While I do know people from my season, those relationships aren't the strongest (considering some of them backstabbed me or lied to me, and vice versa). People are already in my ear about people knowing other people, so right now it's just trying to get in everyone's ear and making my presence known.


2. Since this is an All-Star game, do you know anyone coming into it? What is your relationship like with each of those people? Friends? Rivals? Also, if you do know anyone, do you plan on working with them at all?

Ika - Well, considering I kind of tore her a new one in my jury speech I think it's safe to say we're not the best of friends. I don't see her being much of a threat this season and I don't see her hating me as much as she hates other so I'm not too concerned. I won't be working with her at all, though.

Rachelle - I'm going to try and re-establish a friendship there. I do genuinely think by the end of the season he seemed to like me, so I'm going to try and run with that especially since he's such a challenge threat. I feel like I could use that to my advantage.

Shilpa - Drew's already told me that Jake has TONS of friends in this game, and I can see how that's true. I know he and Tom are really close (I guess he forgot he told me about their friendship)... but I also feel like he'll have lots of other friendships in the game too. I might use that to my advantage in hopes that he'll keep me safe.

Drew - I love Drew! I can't help but love him. He's so likeable and of course I'm going to work with him again this season. Do I think he has plans to work with me? Somewhat. I don't think he'd be afraid to turn his back on me this season if it's in his best interest, though.

Ash - I mean, he's okay I guess. We didn't really have the best connection ever last season, but he still seemed to be rooting for me because we were sort of forced to work together. I could see us sort of working together, but I'm not opposed to getting rid of him.

Boog - Jamie and I are really good friends. We both come from the Twitter community, so I absolutely plan on staying loyal to him. A couple people already know about our friendship, but I think because we're both non-threatening and we don't have as many connections as some of the other people in this game we might be in a good position.


3. Is there anyone that you don't think really deserves to be here? Why or why not?

I didn't really get a chance to follow many of the other seasons. I think it's safe to say that I wouldn't really consider Ika to be an All-Star... but she did win, so can I really take that away from her?


4. What is something that you would like to correct since the last time you've played? Are you worried that your reputation from your previous season could hurt you coming into this?

I think I'm going to be looking for more loyal allies this time. I'm not going to concern myself with making multiple alliances and getting caught up in trying to run everything like I did last season. I think I don't really have much of a reputation this season. Generally people don't know a lot about me or my game, which is kind of good for me going into the game. The only thing that concerns me is pre-made alliances and friendships.


5. Do you have what it takes to win this game?

I will admit, with 27 people playing this season it is a little intimidating. It's hard to see the finish line this early on. I'm going to take it one step at a time and hopefully make it deep into the game. Ask me again when we hit Final 10!


6. Any final comments before the game begins?

I'm so ready to do this! Super excited to start the game. Looking forward to another awesome season. <3
