I private messaged Gregg today to kinda get the ball rolling with him. I don't want our differing time zones to be the reason we are never able to get into communication with eachother.
Ugh. So sorry guys, I was going to do HoH in the morning but I got called into work last second because someone didn't called in sick for a shift. 100% My bad .
I also didn't mention it in this confessional, but I also really like Russell and Boog and think there is some solid potential there for building an alliance.
Tahan seems friendly and I don't resent her at all for nominating me. I am going to take this nomination as an opportunity to talk to her more and show her that I am not a personal/meanspirited player.
So even though I am mostly doing video confessionals, I thought I would do a few written ones as well. Not only do they help me to organize my thoughts, but they also allow people to CTRL+F when they read my confessional when this is all over. Right now, I think I am at a kind of interesting place in the game. There are four people who I feel I have a pretty good relationship with in terms of the long term.
Candace - I fucking love Candace. We get along so well and I have a lot of trust in her. I am trying to remain a little bit careful because it is so early in the game that I might have misread the situaion, but I am very optimistic about things with her. We just have a very natural connection. We have already formed a tight alliance. She also wants to bring in another person named....
Skye - Skye is such a nice and fun person to talk to. I really want to work with her and I'm pretty stoked that she wants to work with me too. I think she will be a very strong player and we could make quite the power team. The fact that Candace loves her as well makes things really easy. The three of us feel like a natural alliance.
Russ - Russ is another person I have gotten close to relatively quickly. Him and I made a deal tonight to work together tightly. On one hand, I feel like it conflicts with my Candace/Skye thing. But on the other hand, I know that Skye likes Russell and I really think its a good idea to have a fourth person in that alliance anyways. I don't know what I would do if Russ ended up nommed beside one of my girls, but I am going to do everything in my power to prevent that from happening. I figure that having 3 people I am willing to go on a limb for is about the righ amount of people in a 12 person game.
Calum - He is the one other person in this game that I feel like I have made a strong connection with. I don't know if I am going to be able to incorporate him into an alliance though, because I think Candace is a little offput by him and he comes off as very game savvy to me. I think he is the type of player that will make moves on his own and thats a little scary. But I have no intention of getting rid of him - my primary concern is to remain valuable to him so that he doesn't feel the need to cut me if he wins HoH.
So right now, I basically have two alliances that are in the works. There is Candace/Skye/Casey and Russell/Casey. Both seem pretty secure to me and I think that everyone I am working with has a pretty good outlook on how to play these games. I am also going to be keeping a close eye on Calum... not because I want to eliminate him but mainly because I want to make sure that he doesn't want to eliminate me.
