Alright! Sorry for the delay! So I am officially back and better than ever! I am calling this my Lotus comeback! I will do better than my 8th place as Amanda, so if I get out before that with a cast 12 people! That would be depressing and I should just be gone. I definitely want to play opposite then I have before. I don’t want to make any waves early in the game. I don’t want to be anyone’s target. Most importantly I DON’T WANT TO BE SO GULLIBLE! That is my problem in these games. I am very gullible and so quick to believe anyone. I want to learn from my past mistakes and hopefully since I have made so many mistakes this will be an advantage. I most definitely want to play under the radar. I have never played under the radar in this series and I think it’s time. I think playing as Neda will help me and motivate me not to play over the top.
Going into this game I want people I can trust early on. That may be foolish to put your trust in someone’s hands so early. But I need people on my side fighting for hoh. This is why I will start off my cast opinions since I have met everyone.
– I am starting with Zach because I trust him the most. We hit it off right from the start and I don’t know if he was just kissing ass to me and I fell for it. We bonded over our character choices and I think we both picked the best people to play as. I can tell Zach is a character and he is very easy to talk to. You know me if someone is not easy to talk to then I have no time for you. I feel like we are in an alliance but we haven’t discussed it with each other. I have already let my guard down with him and I hope that doesn’t hurt me. I keep thinking okay remember when you let your guard down with Ed and Sam because you trusted them so much so early in the game and looked what happened. So I got to be careful with him.
– Sarah is someone I am working on to trust. I get the feeling that she genuinely likes me. I had some family drama when she was talking to me and I opened up to her. Part of it was because I needed to talk but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t for game. I want her to see that I don’t just talk game with her, that I’m not afraid to talk personal with her. I think when you talk personal with people it brings you closer. I really like Sarah and I can see myself working with her. Not a fan of her chcaracter choice though, she mentioned she had Heather on her list. Like WTF! Why didn't you pick Heather!
– I didn’t think I would like Sam after he won hoh. I met him after he won which made me nervous because that makes me look shady. Thankfully he liked me and enjoyed talking to me. He has a very different time zone than me and I joked that I would work around it just for him. It felt nice feeling safe with the first hoh. I already mentioned to Sam if I were to win hoh he will be safe. So I can see us working together in the future. Plus we talked about wanting Jojo out this round.
– Sofia is hilarious! We are already talking shit to each other which is bad because I need to play it cool. We bonded over our love for Amber Heard! After she won veto, boy did we talk! We went on a Jojo bash and just made fun of the stupid things she said. I need to save this for when I mention Jojo! We just basically trust each other enough to share our opinions about the cast.
– Wil is someone I really liked day 1. So when he got nominated against Jojo, I knew where my vote was at. I see him more as an alley than Jojo would be. He sent me stuff Jojo told him because he says he can trust me. So that means if he wins hoh I’d be safe!
– I really liked Gina day 1 but she seems to kind of fade. But she left a very good impression on me day 1. It’s funny we both live near each other and mentioned going to Universal Studios this Halloween. Ya never know we might see each other!
– Mike was the last person I met and I enjoyed my conversation with him. He seems sweet. I just need to talk to him more.
– I try and try with Brittany but our chats keep dying. We talk often probably more than the people above her. But I just find myself bored with her. She put me to sleep last night! Literally!
– I don’t think Luke likes me. I know he is playing the game sassy but I just got the vibe he didn’t like me. I was sassy back at him and he didn’t seem to like it.
– Brian has very strong opinions and I found myself keeping my mouth shut talking to him. I don’t want to ever disagree with Brian! I am just going to shut up and nod my head. He just seems very stern and very serious. He is not someone I would like to see go far.
– Oh Jojo! As I mentioned in my video, I kind of see my Amanda self in her. I was right! Girl is loca! Ever since she got nominated she has over campaigned. She keeps talking and talking. I told her people keep distracting me from writing my diary room. What does she do? She starts rambling! If she does stay she would for sure be the hot mess of the season. I will gladly give her that crown!
As of right now the main people I would love to work with are Zach, Sarah, Sam and Sofia! Maybe Wil but I feel like he is an easy person to nominate. My targets are Jojo, Brian and maybe Luke but I need to talk to Luke again. I cannot judge him based on one chat. So far I think this is a successful first round for me, probably one of my best. I think I managed to stay likeable, easy to talk to and more important didn’t case any waves!
