I guess we can only edit posts after a certain amount of time? I was going to add in that last reply that the video is just a brief overview of my mindset entering the game, plus a very quick cast analysis/rundown! I wanted to keep it short, but with 27 people... *cough* it was impossible to *cough*
P.S. I'm not a fan of the limited amount of time to edit posts. I understand from a hosting point of view why this could be beneficial to enforce, but from a sometimes perfectionist point of view, I sometimes get anal about my posts and want to go back and change things (even small spelling errors and such) lol.

From Drew... Best of luck, Drew!
Also sorry that I took the name, I didn't notice there was a Drew in the cast until after I registered, and I was like damn he will be annoyed! Lol. If i knew I woulda signed-up as Drewd or something, but regardless... Hope you do well! Good luck.

Summary - Talk about new houses. Mini cast overview for House 2. Thoughts on Sofia winning HoH. I'm with 5-6 people who hadn't talked to until today. Feeling mediocre about this week so far...
Sorry for the low energy. Gonna go update my cast assessment chart now!

Mike is the only one who pushes the button. My odds of getting nominated just increased. Ugh. I finally got to talk to Heaven. Oh, btw, I was looking at the House divisions.... I talked to 100% of the people in House 3 before our split. Wanna know how many I talked to in House 2 before the split? 1/8 which is roughly 13%. Lol. Since the split, I HAVE talked to everyone in my house except for Ryan. I just feel like Sofia won't nominate Heaven, which means she won't nominate Ryan. That leaves.... Matt, Luisa, Ash, Keith, and myself. Soooo 2/5 chance of being nominated. This should be fun!
Also, Matt doesn't seem worried... He said we will let the cards fall as they will. So either he made a safety deal with Sofia, or he's truly just not phased by the fact that there's likely a 40% chance he'll be nominated. Idk about him, but I want a chance at redemption! I really hope Sofia will cut me a deal. I don't wanna be fighting for PoV week 1 kinda like I was in season 5. Granted... that worked out for me in the end? So maybe I'll be alright?
Ok Drew... chin up. Don't overplay. Just stay calm and chat with people.

I recorded 2 video DRs, one before HoH and one after. Neither of them worked, so I'll just resort to text. Starting with reactions to last week's evictions...
House 1 - I heard Hayley was leaving, and then all the sudden it was a 7-0 vote for Danielle. Also heard Christine was a considered replacement nom. Glad she stayed off the block and glad Boog won PoV. As for Danielle leaving over Hayley, that's fine by me. Hayley has actually talked to me.
House 2 - Keith stayed 5-0. Wasn't surprised there. However, neither Heaven or Ryan talked to me about the vote, so I definitely don't feel safe with them. I see either of them nominating me if they get the chance. Ash is kinda MIA. Overall, fine with the result of week 1 though.
House 3 - Casey leaves and continues our All Stars curse (we have now been in 3 all stars games together where one of us leaves very early in the game). Granted, he wasn't really talking to me much. So either he was super busy, or his allegiances were much stronger elsewhere. Chris staying could work in my favor. I think we have mutual friends and could eventually work together. We shall see.
Moving on... this week, there's speculation that the HoH challenge will reshuffle houses, with the top 3 winning. I think I did quite well in HoH. Well enough? Idk. Candice won this last season with a score of 314. I think I put up a score of 307. So, definitely a contender for the win... depends on how the winners are calculated (by house or overall). Either way, I would love an HoH reign to strengthen bonds and get rid of the people who don't talk to me.
Other news... I created a drunken alliance with Heather. I know she's connected very well. Hoping this works in my favor. Also created a final 2 with Keith... didn't see that coming. But I told him he would be my Gemini (GVSE reference, where Gemini was my partner and f2 who I was 100% loyal to). I'm starting to realize that this season, instead of creating lots of group alliances, I have made a lot of individual deals. This could backfire, as I'm worried some of them might not think I am genuine since I'm having a hard time fostering these relationships. This could end poorly.

Also... random. But Neda confuses the fuck out of me. So like, at first I really thought that the person behind Neda (who I think is Amber?) didn't really like me. She played in some Starz games, and I know she's been Danielle here in this series where I voted her out early. But anyways, we've been talking quite a lot more than expected. Yesterday she asks for my snap chat. And then last night, I got literally 20-25 snaps from her, but it was a guy. Either she gave my snapchat name to a male friend, or Neda isn't a girl named Amber? Idk. They were mostly drunk snap chats, involving him buying jeans from wal-mart. I kinda recognize the face as a "suggested" friend on Facebook. Will have to do more digging.... random, right?

Sorry I've been slacking. Here's a quick recap of my round 2 thoughts/events.
So I was part of the alliance of Christine Boog and Chris. That lasted long. Lol. Chris did provide a lot of good insight into some relationships though. He really wanted me to put up Shilpa, but I feel Shilpa and I got really close last round.
So Christine and I obviously failed at taking out the big challenge threats. After Ryan won, I had a lot of people pushing for certain renoms. Shilpa and Nick wanted Candice up, Zach just wanted Nick to stay, and Keith did NOT want Candice up. I definitely considered Candice but in the end I went with Britt to appease Keith and to take out a social threat who was potentially tied to the trio of Sofia, Heaven, and Ryan. I know I didn't do myself any favor in the eyes of Nick or Candice probably, but I tried my best to mend those bonds the best I could.
I need to go update my tiers and then give some input on round 3 so far!
