~ Week #1 ~
Strategy:
Justin it is so humbling for you to ask me back for a third time and this time I don't want to disappoint. I know for sure that I am finally going to win this season. In order to do so I will need to entirely overhaul my strategy seeings as it has not worked in the past. So behold my new strategy: #1) I'm no longer going to trust anyone even if they are perceived to be my friend. I learned the hard way last season and I just need to stay focused on the game and not build useless friendships. I'm sorry, but people who want to be friends with me this season shouldn't even bother. ; #2) Keep my mouth shut and let other people tell me information rather than saying anything (the opposite bite me in the bud last season) ; #3) Build strong multiple alliances with people ; & #4) Not bash people at all even if I can't stand them because if I do it will only hurt my game. I really want to be ruthless this game, but not too ruthless that it gets me into trouble when I obviously make the end.
Tribe Thoughts:
- I adore Ellen as a person because she is so genuine and sweet. However, I need to separate myself from my personal feelings towards her and how she is playing the game. I recognize that right from the get-go she is going to be one of the biggest targets of the entire season because of her social and endurance skills. My goal is to try and get her out within the first few rounds because at that point she hopefully will not have successfully integrated herself within the tribe. The only downside that I see with taking her out earlier is that with a potential ally and huge target gone other people (including myself) might be targeted. Although, the major upside is that if she does go I will be hailed as making a grandiose move which I am in dire need of because I am remembered as the cast member that makes none.
-I really don't know much about Emily other than that she is from the Netherlands. Being in a different country and time zone definitely puts her at a disadvantage especially at challenges. If she doesn't pull her weight and we lose at any point that is going to be my excuse for her to leave along with the fact that she seems like a really good social player. Hopefully, I will have more details about her as the round progresses.
- I know Hannah personaly because we played together in Big Brother Prime All-Stars. I haven't really talked to him since the game ended so using that past encounter isn't going to help me at all. I did talk to him today and all that know as of right now is that he liked me way too fast which comes off as suspicious. Within the first hour he said this:

btw...id really like to work with you this game, we clicked well I hope
so Ill love talking to you more about poltiics and other crazy shitWhether I can form an alliance with him is still debatable, but it sounds like he may be someone I could easily reel in.
- Knox seems really boring in all honesty because when we talked earlier it seemed force and extremely awkward. Based off of last season I really don't like the way he plays the game and wouldn't mind seeing him leave early. Plus, I already broke one of my own rules by opening my big mouth by telling him how much I hate Michael. Whether he tells Michael or not only time will tell, but if he does then I know the source.
- I also know Luca from another game and just like Ellen he is super genuine and nice. I can see myself possibly making an alliance with him. However, he is definitely going to be a huge problem in this game and possibly even a liability. Not only is he extremely social and amazing at challenges, but he won his season! Even amid the whole fact that he is a huge threat I don't foresee him making it as far this season based simply on his status of being a former winner. As of right now, I want to keep Luca close to me which will hopefully benefit me more than it will hurt me later down the road.
- Perry is extremely quite and really hasn't talked much to me. Since I know little about him that makes me not trust him at all for the time being.
Tribal Rank:
(1- Gone the Most ; 2- Gone the Least)

2. Perry
3. Emily
4. Ellen
5. Luca
6. Hannah
. I really thought that we could have won, but it seems like we may have been at a disadvantage compared to the other tribes. I truly believe that having only 5 people online did hurt us over the long run because we had less people to help. By losing I definitely blame it on Knox and Emily which may seem unfair because everyone has real-life things to tend to BUT this is a game about how active you are. As of right it makes sense to stick together as a tribe and keep active people around so we don't continually go to tribal. Due to this I fully believe that either Knox or Emily will be leaving. Although, currently it looks as if Emily is going to be the first boot because of her inactivity during the first challenge, the fact she is from the Netherlands, and that she has prior relationships with people. While I did want Knox gone first because I find him dry, smug, and incredibly cocky for some reason I don't think I'd have the votes. In this game I want to take charge, but I don't want a huge target on me first round.
