Round 1 Confessionals

[Mike Dutz]

Alright, so I am back for another shot!  I was very hesitant to come back because I completely sucked in this other game that I recently played and it just really crushed me that I was trying so hard to do well and I was voted out so early.  It made me think like why keep playing if I am going to invest so much into the games and end up doing so poorly. But, I decided to return!  Hopefully I will do well lol. But I am not going to go over the top over things. I will play a dumbed down game and a very relaxed game. Maybe I will be carried a little bit if I do not come across as overly social. So far, this approach is working for me. I have been honest and just shrugged off the fact that I'm going to be away this weekend and people have been pretty receptive about it.  Sam even said he does not see himself nominating me because he would hate to be nominated while going away for a weekend and not having a chance to talk to people that much.  Awesome!  Thanks buddy!  What a pal, already.  I think more than anything, it could just be him thinking...okay...this guy won't have much chances to establish alliances so he won't be much of a threat to me next week and he could be a target. I'm okay if he is thinking that. Keep me around this week. Please. Thanks.

Did not think that I would do as well as I did in the HoH challenge. It's all luck and based on the opinion of everyone else. But it was a pleasant surprise.  I kind of wanted to win the first HoH but for the most part it generally isn't a good idea to win the first HoH so I am okay not winning it.

I have spoken to almost everyone now. I just need to meet Neda and Sofia.  I wonder who Sam has not met yet. He said he has not had a chance to talk to like 3 people still. He seemed to like me. I don't think I will want to align myself with him though. He is British and I am tired of saying that I like working with the overseas people and then they wind up being awful allies. Totally unpredictable and huge schemers. Sam will be in my good books right now, especially if he sticks to his word and keeps me safe but I could see myself targeting him in a couple rounds.

I hope that I get offered an alliance tonight because I would like to be included in some sort of starting group. With such a small number of players, being on the outs early on will be an awful thing because there won't be anywhere to hide.  Sticking to my strategy, I won't be making alliance offers. I want to be brought into something. My aggressiveness hurt me last time. So that is another reason I did not even suggest to Sam who he nominate. Not touching that realm this time around unless I am asked and then it will depend on the situation. Gotta be careful what I say to people.

Anyway that is all for now. Nothing too interesting. Brittany tried to talk to me earlier and she was talking to Sam, as Sam mentioned Brittany said something to him about nominations. I don't want those two to get close. I will cozy up to Brittany I guess for a while because she seems like she is going to be overly social, exactly the opposite of my strategy. So if I talk to her maybe I can find some stuff out eventually.  Later guys. Root for me my Rise and Fall 6ers!

When the hell do people from Britain come online? It is 2:30 in the afternoon on a Saturday over there right now. Perfect time to be online catching the early rising Americans and Canadians and yet there is no sign of Sam anywhere. I did not catch him yesterday either. I know he said he would keep me safe but putting my face last in the nominations post worries me that I may be the replacement if the veto is used. I hope not, though. But like I said, unpredictable Brits.

Wil asked me if I wanted to play in the veto. I said yes, duh. Any chance to further keep myself safe I will gladly take. I think I did decent in the veto so we shall see. I don't want the nominations to change unless I am the one to change them. I would consider it, too. I know it is early but any allies I can gain by using the power of veto would be helpful. I really like JoJo so I would maybe use it on her. Or I could use it on Wil and gain him as an ally and hope that the replacement is someone I do not talk to very much and maybe they will go home. It is tough. If I win, I will really have to think about it.

I made it to Round 2! Hopefully I don't get the boot again lol
