Big Brother 10/Week 1

"yaknad"

- wooh so excited to start and WIN

"yaknad"

- IMA GODAMN YEET MACHINE YAAAAAAAA YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETETH BRETHREN

"yaknad"

- Okay so as usual I'm overwhelmed by trying to talk to 15 people at once and make a cute little connection with everybody so they'll keep me safe for the first few weeks until real alliances start. But this is actually a pretty solid cast. I have a good relationship with Szymon, Morgan, and Abi. Bryce, Maya, and Sam have all done me dirty in past games but I think I'm still solid enough with them all to work with them. I FINALLY GET TO PLAY A SEASON WITH NATALIA! And the rest of the people are better new to me but have been pretty talkative. As of now I'm thinking of laying the groundwork for Me, Szymon, and Bryce to be a solid 3. We each pull in one side person and then we have a group of 6 that "naturally comes together" jokes. But we'll see.

- VL: Hey Viewing Lounge!! I'm in the 703 Big Brother house! It's Day 2 and I'm already having a bunch of fun! I'm in #YoniLove with these people and I'd #YoniLoathe it if I had to leave anytime soon, so I can't wait to see your beautiful faces on the outside once I'm crowned the winner! <3 I love you guys!

"yaknad"

- So I'm making so good connection with people. Trey, Natalia, and I all get along well. But OF COURSE now we have a big ol mystery box driving us all apart. Everyone, myself included, seems to think it's the Infection HOH and nobody wants HOH but also no one wants to be the first one to infect somebody. What a mind game. I hope this box is empty and we're all just crazy and paranoid.

"yaknad"

- Great I am sick now. I hate being sick. Thanks morgan.

"yaknad"

- OMG so, I already have a final 2. Honestly I'm probably going to stay true to it, szymon is a huge social powerhouse and on a game level for as long as he's around, he's probably going to be the biggest social threat out of the two of us. On a personal level nothing would make me happier than to stay true to him bc he's the mother of my children and I love him.

Also I KNOW QUINTIN LOL. Him and I are the Tommy and Christie of our season. Quintin's ex is like family to me and Quintin and i met in a Skype game (but we were on different tribes and he got voted out before we could talk). Anyway, I hope to use this super secret and hopefully unclockable connection to my benefit.

I am really feeling Sharky right now lol he's one of the people I talk to the most and I like that he's a go getter because he's already been scouting an alliance for us without me even having to say or do anything.

Some of the non fb people like Megan and Sarah and like Morgan etc haven't really talked to me much and like keep leaving me on read but it's fine, as long as I can build some sort of rapport, hopefully I wouldn't be the first name they think about if there were ever HoH.

I could say more but this is already getting long aksjshahdsk I'm just going to leave it here for now

"yaknad"

- Called it. Love this challenge, but unfortunately it came when none of want HOH! After the first couple rounds we were all asking for the Poison because no one wants the first HOH. But what is important is Trey and I have to make sure that not only do we not win HOH but that somebody we can manipulate does. I'm really trying to get Quintin to win. I don't think he wants it but I think I'll have a lot of say. Plus I've been laying the ground work for Me, Quintin, Trey, Sam, and Natalia to all team up. I don't think people will stay loyal to it through the end but it's a strong five that could really control these first couple weeks. THere's a lot going on, and I'm overplaying as usual. So we'll see how this goes!

"yaknad"

- Okay so not the best possible outcome for me. I was really trying to get Abi, Quintin, of Szymon to win but oh well. My manipulation powers aren't strong enough yet. But I feel like I have a good relationship with Yoni so she won't put me up, not quite sure who she will, but hopefully Hannah and her inactive ass will go home in an easy first week and I'll be able to focus on laying the groundwork for alliance to form over the net couple rounds. Plot Plot Bitch

"yaknad"

- Trey is sketching me tf out, he needs to GO.

That is all.

"yaknad"

- welp im a straight male in a season of nothing but females and gays, fuck this twist im so done for LOVE IT

"yaknad"

- like ill make a solid and funny VL video confesh to try and get voted for MVP then the MOMENT a boring ass woman makes a video vl all the gays will immediately go OMG YES I STAN VOTE FOR SLAY QUEEN!!!!!!1111111 this is great

"yaknad"

- I’m honestly pretty stoked with the cast! Everyone seems super nice and most importantly I finally get a chance to play together with the loml szymon in one org sksjsks we planned this thing to happen months ago and thank you hosts for putting us together 🥺

some might know us but im pretty sure most of them don’t know that we are super close. my strategy going into this game for the first few weeks is to be lowkey with the interaction, don’t talk too much, be nice to people and make a solid alliance with people. I don’t want to be in the same alliance with szymon but rather do a separate one and work with that. I feel good about sharky and morgan as we played together before. Yoni is super nice! It’s still too early to decide whom I could trust but everyone seems pretty neat!

"yaknad"

- So I think I really love this cast, but I also feel like I'm struggling to be completely relatable to everyone. I feel old. But I really enjoy reconnecting with a few that I knew from other orgs. For the challenge, I was left with a list of people that I hadn't played with before and one that is a super good friend. So I infected the super good friend, because I knew he wouldn't want to be the first HOH and that way people I didn't know overly well wouldn't feel offended I randomly chose them for no reason. Anyway, I'm trying to figure out my plan of "attack." I know I need to be more forthcoming and more with it this season. I tend to sit back and wait a bit too long and then I miss out on the important things happening. I know it's early, but I feel like I need to do some thinking on it before it's too late.

"yaknad"

- VL: I WON THE FIRST HOH!!! I told y'all this old gal ain't goin' early. I'm so happy to have won since I can set myself up right for the long haul. The only thing on my mind right now is this MVP twist... god I hope y'all give it to someone worthwhile who WON'T mess up my week. I don't need that drama in my life right now LoL. Anyways, I #YoniLove y'all! TTYL!

"yaknad"

- Oh. My. GOODNESS!!! I CANNOT believe that I am the first HoH of 703 BB10. It's funny because in BBUS10, the oldest houseguest on that season (I believe his name was Jerry) won HOH, and here I go doing the same thing as the oldest houseguest of my season. I'm definitely the most excited because I'm safe, as I was afraid me being older than everyone else would set me aside as an easy target. But now, I'm having mixed feelings because on one hand I get to use this week to my advantage to put myself in the best position possible but on the other, I have to nominate two people who potentially could be staying in the house (more on that later...).

Let's talk about the game though! So the first couple of days of the game were pretty quiet. The house chat was also more dead than usual. I don't know why that was, but I can only assume it's because people were busy socializing individually. On my end, it definitely seemed like only a few people were interested in talking to me Days 1-2 and then activity shot up come Day 3, but that might be just because I was in the running for HOH. Now everyone's kissing my ass HAHA and it feels great not going to lie, :-) Game talk has been pretty quiet, but again, it's because people are not willing to make that first move to start strategizing quite yet.

As for my cast...

Abi: I love her! She and I recently started talking but we've been bonding over having Jamaican husbands (or in my case, ex-husband) so that's been going great. Bradley: I find him scheming. As I mentioned in my DR, he recognized me from Discord and I had to immediately shut that down and say "I have no idea what you're talking about." I really don't want him in this game for very long since a) I find him hard to talk to and b) I find him annoying to talk to. BUT, it wouldn't be wise to go after him this week, so I'm going to have to deal with him for now... Bryce: We just started talking but he's honestly really cool. I'm cool with the gays as I have love for everybody and we just bonded over suffering depression which was quite the conversation. Hannah: She hasn't been on at all. Nothing much to say but I love her mangatar's one-strap sparkly blouse. Maya: We haven't talked much either but she's apparently heard nothing but good things about me so I'm interested in keeping the conversation going and hopefully developing a stronger bond from there. Megan: We also haven't talked too much but I do like her. She's very spunky and confident in herself, and those are traits I admire in a person as I do feel like I'm like that in a way so I do want to try and get closer to her. Melanie: She hasn't talked to me much either although I've extended the olive branch numerous times. She's also kinda boring so I don't really care if she goes this week or the next if I'm being honest. Morgan: He's kinda reserved, but I like him. We've had good conversations and it seems like he wants it to be more but he's too shy to say it. I'm going to build on them and see if he takes my alliance offering bait. Natalia: She is one of my ride or dies here already. I love her so much <3 Her attitude, her personality, her intelligence - just everything about her I adore and would consider her to be a close ally to me for sure. Quintin: He talks A LOT but he's cool. Another gay I have under my spell ;) He's charming and I can already tell he talks to everyone, but I don't mind for right now because if I'm close to Quintin and he's well connected, he could a) hook me up with his connections and/or b) use his connections to save me if I'm in a pinch. He's useful to me for right now so I'm keeping him for as long as his worth is good for. Sam: I LOVE Sam! He is my baby <3 We've bonded a lot and I do look at him as if he's my son. He's very intelligent and kind and we've had very mature conversations already. Definitely someone I owe a lot since he did give me my HOH and the power to make these decisions. Sarah: I like Sarah a lot. We've bonded a lot being the oldest women in the house and I like that like me, she doesn't seem like many things bother her which is someone who would make a great ally. Sharky: An interesting person to say the least. Definitely in the top half of houseguests I'd say I like. He's so different and unique from where I'm from that it makes him 10x more interesting. I would like to stick with him since he's someone I think could be loyal to me until the dying end. Szymon: He's so sweet <3 While I do think some of it is fakeness due to not wanting to be put up, he was so genuine when I first entered and I love having convos with him since he's a straight shooter and tells it like it is. Trey: The closest person to me outside of Natalia. We just have so much to talk about and I feel like he's the one person I can absolutely trust that won't tell anybody anything (although I haven't shared much strategic info with him yet). We're both parents and we're looking out for each other so I really want us to do well.

In all, the cast is pretty great. There are a couple hit or miss type people, but a majority of them are pretty nice and friendly. I do think this will be quite the competitive cast however. I've noticed that there are about 8 links on the 703 wikia for 8 of my houseguests' past Survivor games. Some things I've observed from there: - Abi and Natalia played on the same season (S39), went out back to back, and might have been allies (I'm iffy on that last one) - Maya and Morgan played on the same season (S34) and they both made it to the end together. - Maya has actually won a 703 season (the same one I mentioned). - Sam and Szymon have both made it pretty far the multiple times they have played. - Bradley was idoled out early in his season. - Trey went out early both times he's played.

I say that because I do think some of these relationships could be in play this season, so I'm definitely on the lookout for any instances they might be true. I don't really want to target any of these people (aside from Bradley but it's not for any outside reason - he's just hard to talk to) so it doesn't matter but I still want to be aware.

As of right now, my strategy is to nominate the two people who are the least active. In my eyes, those are Melanie and Hannah. I don't really have any connection to them and I don't think anyone would mind if they went up. The only problem I have is this MVP twist. I DO NOT want it to interfere with my game this season. If one of my nominees don't go home and there's some type of flip towards the 3rd nominee (I'm assuming they're probably going to be an active player in the game), it could really ruin my chances from here on out.

But hopefully things go alright. I'm not going to worry about it until the nomination ceremony but I'm going to feel some people out and check back in later. Thanks again for this opportunity! It's been a great start to my first Facebook game <3

- Y'all Yoni is actually ICONIC. She came to the US from Guyana when she was 16 and then got her GED and went to NYU where she studied finance and now she advises people on what to do with their stocks. Like she is lowkey highkey A STAR.

"yaknad"

- So I've nominated Hannah and Melanie for eviction. For me, this was just the simplest thing to do at this moment. I didn't really want to make any major waves that could result in me getting an early exit. I'm trying to play the long game here, since I know that Big Brother is a marathon not a sprint. I feel like hopefully things should go my way this week. I doubt whoever wins MVP will try to make a big move against anybody since it's just so early in the game.

Going into this Veto competition, I do want to try my best but I'm unsure of if I want to win. Winning might put a target on my back as a comp beast, but then again, I would've only truly won one competition that had to do with skill since this HOH was awarded based on social relationships. Regardless if I win or someone else wins, I don't want the Veto for obvious reasons. I just want this to be a clean sweep week with Hannah unanimously getting the boot and moving on from here.

Melanie has since come to me and apologized, and while I accept her apology, I'm not automatically going to go and work with her. At the same token, I am leaving the door open for when she inevitably survives this week in hopes that she would value any social bonds I've made with her and see to it that I'm not the one nominated if she for reason wins HOH.

My goal this week is not to just get Hannah out, it's to set myself up for the long haul. I want to make a deep run in this game and I think the best way I can spin this HOH is forming alliances. I really don't get any pushback since I'm the one in charge this week so I want to cover myself with as many deals and groupings as I possibly can. Going forward, I want to take a backseat approach and float for a little while between groups. Eventually after the less active people are shoved out of the game, people will begin to turn on each other. I think by having a good social game and staying under the radar (which I've proven I can do based on my last Discord ORG), I do think that I can survive the eventual gunfight that occurs on both sides.

"yaknad"

- ok so like morgan is dead to me. i know i saved him but thats just bc im quirky. that man literally told me he didnt think i was mvp bc the vl wouldnt like me KJFHDASKJ like maybe its TRUE but did i ASK???? i hate that man so much. hannah not talking but lowkey lots of ppl dont msg me if i dont msg them first (which i dont like doing) we just dont talk so.. thats scary

"yaknad"

- We love knowing everything that's gonna happen before it happens LOL Szy is so precious I love him asking me who he should put up and then who should be the replacement. Low key feel like he's doing it so he can't be blamed solely for who goes up but nonetheless I trust szy and I appreciate him asking me especially bc he said he would have probably put up Bradley if I hadn't asked for Bradley's safety in particular. If I ever got the power I would tell szy. Maybe not if it was a specific circumstance atm kind of thing but other than that I would tell him. He's been a great ally and he's kept me in the loop on a lot of things like Bryce using the veto on Morgan. Which I feel like Bryce did that for 2 reasons, get Morgan on his side for the future, and try to sus out who the mvp is based on who they put up (unless szy told him).

Quintin is sketching me tf out. I don't want power rn because it's too early but when I'm ready he might be one of the people I target first oops

"yaknad"

- Hi hosts! Today I sadly vote to evict... Hannah. Hi mom, dad, family, #lovers, viewers lounge! Happy Birthday Bill! Love you all!
