Rise and Fall All Stars starts now! Yay. I've been so excited for this game for so long and I can't wait to start really playing! I'll probably do a cast assessment either later tonight or tomorrow. I don't know a lot of people pre-game, so it's probably not long. I've been talking to some people and so far I really love Heather and Candice - those are the two that have really stuck out for me. I'm so candid with Candice about like, gay stuff - it's funny but refreshing from the usual "hey what's up?! " kind of small-talk.
I wish Russell would check in so we can see what we're dealing with here. There's so many people on AIM and it's honestly so overwhelming. I think we're going to be put into three houses so I wish I knew who I really need to talk to right now - because trying to maintain all these conversations is really hard and I don't think I'm doing a stellar job at it. Like all of my conversations with Matt die out so quickly. Ugh.
Like... I don't get it? Was he implying that his butler was in him, SEXUALLY?! It's the most random thing ever, so I decided just to pass right by it because I really did not understand. Then I get -5 Keith points deducted. ~_~ He's such a troll and I could see him using his "points" system for nominations if he wins HOH. I want him gone.
Zach Heather Nick Shipla Hayley Candice Brittany Casey Nicole Boog Mike Neda Heaven Sofia (even though our convo was somewhat short before she went to bed) Brian (don't hate me for this! he's been nothing but nice with me!)
Everyone else has either been hard to talk to or just not around. Ash seems like a nice guy, but he gives me NOTHING to work with. Danielle just told me she was drunk and then our convo died. I talked to Drew for the first time today but he said he was going to be in and out all day because he had company. Ika seems completely disinterested (and after comparing notes, I'm not the only one who feels that way). Matt, our conversations last longer than some of the others I mentioned but they're so stereotypical small talk, I can't even deal. Chris & Keith, I've already explained above. Although tbh, Chris doesn't seem too bad. Rachelle is just... Idk, she's weird. Luisa, I really did not have much time to talk to - she wasn't online for long.
Ryan and Christine are the only people I've had absolutely no contact with so far.
Hayley and I made an alliance together last night. She's such a sweetheart and I know she's really loyal from playing with her in season 6. While we weren't on the same side in that game, there was always a respect between us. So I'm excited to officially align with her in this game!
Okay, so I kinda love this house. I'm afraid it might be TOO good if there's no weekly house swapping. Brian wins HOH and I feel somewhat safe. We've been having good conversations pre-house reveal and he even mentioned how he's glad there's another guy in the house with him. So I really don't think he would nominate me. He has somewhat of a bad rep but he's been nothing but nice with me. I know from watching him play in season 7 that he can be a bit paranoid, so I just hope he doesn't get paranoid over me.
I'm so happy to be in a house with Heather! I love this girl! She's amazing and so much fun to talk to. We agree on so much and I feel like I've already known her for years. She's great! I really do think we're going to work well in this game.
I'm also pumped to be in the same house as Brittany because I love Daniel! He's such a nice guy and I know he's super loyal. I know I can trust him. Ever since season 7, I've wanted to play an ORG with him!
Hayley! We're from the same season and we really get along great. She's so nice and like Brittany, I know she's a loyal player.
I've had decent conversations with Neda and Boog. Christine I've only had one conversation with and Danielle is just... I don't think she's all there, to be honest, lol. She would be my target if I were to win HOH. Although I feel like Brian might nominate Neda because of their messy past from season 7?
There's a fuckload of people I really like in this house. Zach, of course is #1. But then there's Shipla, Nick, Nicole, Candice, and Casey. I'm hoping they can all stick around. Ideally from this house, I would like to see Rachelle leave soon. Then maybe Chris or Ika. Maybe Ika because her narration shtick is getting really old, really fast.
Heather and I discussing Brian and his lack of communication....
LMAO.
I really like Brian a lot and I don't think he would nominate me. I was just looking for a concrete "Hey Memphis, you're safe with me!" ... something 100%. That said, I know he's putting up Hayley This house is so small that if I fight against it, he could plop me right up. and then he told me he's open to the 2nd nomination. I had told him previously that Danielle is someone I have not clicked with, so I hope he puts her up.
How did I go from winning most social in season 6 to now, logging on AIM and seeing the entire cast online, and just groaning for like five minutes straight?
Anyways, Mike was so obviously going to hit the button. Everyone, I mean everyone knows he and Sofia do not get along. It was a huge discussion point for people coming into the game. I think everyone last night was laughing at how horrible house two was- because LOOK AT IT! You have 3 of the most dominate challenge threats in RNF history, the Sofia vs. Mike feud, and Keith the game troll. It's hilarious. I love that Keith is nominated. I really hope he gets voted out soon. Because I'm pretty sure he's going to be using his "Keith points" for nominations and he deducted me for a ludicrous reason, probably an excuse to put me up if he ever wins HOH? Over it. He can go.
As for my house, I'm feeling very... eh, right now. I hate that Hayley is up. If it were up to me, she would be 100% safe. When Brian asked me for my opinion, I told him I would put up Danielle. My conversations with her go nowhere. It's ridiculous and she never IMs me first. When we do talk, all I get is one-two word answers from her. But Brian seemed set on targeting Hayley because it's what "the house" wants. What bugs me is that he went and TOLD Hayley that the house didn't like her, which is further from the truth. I know Brittany is annoyed by this as well because she likes Hayley too. and it's really just unnecessary to tell her. I get that he's trying to push the blame off himself, but he essentially just told her that 7 other people don't like her (which is not even true). She told me she thinks it's a cop out answer. I would hate for her to think that I didn't like her.
Brian is nice but he really has a tendency to put his foot in his mouth, say the wrong thing, or phrase this thoughts in a completely confusing way. Outside of the game, it might be endearing but in the game it's really frustrating. I've heard that he does not want to nominate people he has played with before which scares me because if one of the nominees comes down, that leaves me and Christine as a replacement. I feel like I have a better relationship with him than Christine so I think I should be okay. But you never know with Brian.
Also can I just say how much I love Heather? I just wanna be her BFF, okay?
