Yay! Annie is back in the Recycled house! I'm pretty grateful to get another shot at the game as Annie and redeem myself after All-Stars. Thanks for making it happen Chen!
Anyways I noticed that I'm not the only veteran. But I probably have the best track record and am the most threatening one. So I have to be EXTRA smart and strategic about everything I do. First thing that comes to mind is no throwing competitions. Obviously there's already a big target coming back into the game and on top of it I'm sure I'd be the first veteran targeted. Second, no veterans alliance. I mean seriously do you think I'd work with someone as unstable as Dustin? Hell no. I'm almost certain he doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut. Yeah, I'll keep him in good terms but nothing big for now. He'll just be there. For sure not trusting myself in him. We have Jordan who is like a massive trainwreck but I'm sure she can hold her own better than the other veterans. I have an alliance with her. Which is just her and me. We don't want the others in it because we feel like we don't really need them or want to drag them around. I'm fine with this. I trust her to certain degree. At the end of the day we're both veterans and we both want to win. We can't both win. Next we have Parker, I know him from previous games. He's a wildcard in my eyes. He can be very emotional but I'm not worried about him getting in my way. In fact I think I can be on his good side and have him help me out later on. Then finally we have Steven who I know NOTHING about. He hasn't really done anything to stand out so yeah.
I've won the first head of household and I'm just so glad I'm in the final 12. Then Jordan wins which pretty much guarantees we're untouched for 2 weeks of game. This is perfect because we can get a good feel on the house and have people come up to us with deals and what not. So I'm definitely looking forward to the butt kissing people will do. Even tho I already know who I am putting up I'll let them message me and what not.
I pretty much came to the conclusion that Kent/Steven are going up. None of them have really communicated with me and it's week 1. I don't want to get crazy already. Not to mention putting up Steven will sort of make people think there's no such thing as a veterans alliance which takes some heat off of me. If Steven thinks he's safe JUST because he's a veterans then he is in for a rude awakening.
As of now I feel in an okay position. I know the game is on and I'll have to work a bit harder than others due to my reputation but I think I might just do fine as long as I keep myself focused. For now I'll just kick it back for week 1 and prepare myself to kick it up a few notches in 1 or 2 weeks. Also can I add that like it's amazing that I could possibly be Head of Household more than once in a row. This definitely helps me out in the long run. I have the feeling I'll have to be winning as much as possible!
