Drew's Notes- Week One

[Drew Daniel]

The beats. I could hear my heart pumping. Thump....thump....thump. My chest was exploding. The excitement I felt. The fear that rushed through my body. It was time. I had to re-enter the arena Recycled House.

Here I find myself once again. Locked with a bunch of strategists, a load of comp whores, and who can forget the herd of floaters. The game has begun.

----------------------------------------------

I decided to make my introduction semi-dramatic. But anyways, it's very exciting to be back into the house. Drew's Notes are back! Haha. The alliances are starting to form and I've already been invited to one.

I'll have to be very careful with the relationships I form this season. I do not want a repeat of what happened last season. I may or may not tell Rachel about this alliance. Porsche really trusts me, but I know for sure Lori doesn't. But maybe she's left our issues in the past and moved on? I'm not sure, but I'm still gonna have to be very cautious with this alliance and the information I hand out.

Another problem I have is that Lori knows me. She knows how I play and who I would most likely align myself. That's gonna make it harder for me to get her trust because she'll be like "Drew is probably aligned with Rachel and Karen and at the same time aligned with me, Porsche, and Jason." Well, I guess I can assume she's going to be with Russell.

The only people I trust right now are Rachel and Porsche. I will have to slowly start trusting new people, though so I can better my chances at staying in the house.

Porsche Briggs 7:22 pm
and NO double agent!

Haha, awkward. [/b]

[Drew Daniel]

I've been chatting to people lately, and this game is already crazy. First, let me say I'm not surprised about who's on the nice side and who's on the naughty side. I knew that was coming. Next, I better stop pleasing people now or else I'm gonna get in trouble later. What do I mean by that? Well...


Today while I was on AIM, Nick messages me and asks me for an alliance. Hmm, okay I'll take it. Then he wants to add Jason to it, so I tell him that's cool with me too. I'm talking to Jason and he's like "Nick still hasn't mentioned an alliance to me. I'm obviously the 3rd wheel in this." I told Jason to not worry about it because the real alliance is himself, myself, Lori, and Porsche. I decided I'm going to put my 100% loyalty on this alliance and see how far it takes me. I'm still a little iffy on Lori, though. I don't know whether she's being fake to me or not, but she's being extremely nice and is all gung ho about the alliance. I know I can trust Porsche 100% because she's been loyal to me in every game that we've played together.

Jason, I think I can trust him. I'm not too sure yet, but I'm gonna give it a try.

Let's talk about Russell now. My relationship with Russell right now is meehh. I want to trust him, but I am still re-playing last season in my head. I trusted him, he backstabbed me. I trusted him again, he evicted me. To trust him or not to trust him. It's a tough situation, but it's a new season...so maybe I will trust him? Hmmm...

Then on AIM he sends me this:

Basically since we are on opposite teams, If I win HOH I won't put you up.. I realized that you are loyal and you probably wouldn't have nominated me last season so i feel bad. So I'm not gonna nominate you

I told him time and time again that I wasn't going to do it, haha. Ugh, he better not be lying. I told him I won't put him up if I win HOH...and I'll keep my word too.

So that's...Lori, Porsche, Jason, Nick, Russell, and Rachel I have given my word to. Along with people that I think trust me like Karen and Josh. That's already a lot of people and some of these people don't like each other. So it's going to be tough trying to please everyone.

We'll see what happens.

[Drew Daniel]

Quick update on what's going on.

Tonight, Porsche, Jason, Lori, and myself got together on AIM and had our first alliance meeting. We tried coming up with a name, but couldn't think of one haha. That was the least of our worries though. We then started talking about our targets. This is where it gets tricky, at least for me it does.

They want to target Rachel, Karen, and Amy. I like Rachel and Karen. I then suggested Chima. So it's Rachel, Karen, Amy, and Chima. Then Lori brought up Braden and Dominic. We'll be watching Dominic very closely as he's a huge competition whore. So then our final list of targets is Rachel, Karen, Amy, Chima, Braden, and Dominic.

Ugh if Rachel wins HOH, I should be scared. Why? Because I can expect Lori, Jason, or Porsche to run off and tell her that her buddy Drew is in an alliance that's trying to get her out. Then she'll nominate me and I definitely do not want that to happen. I want to trust Rachel 100% and I want her to trust me 100% as well. Ugh, I definitely do not want this game to ruin the friendship I have with Rachel.

Anyways, that's all the information I have for now...but definitely expect more to come soon.

Crap. I just realized I don't have a fancy color pattern in my DR like I did last season.

[Drew Daniel]

Day 1

Day 2

(I started typing this on 7/15/12 but kept getting distracted haha)

It is officially day 2 in the Big Brother Recycled house! Now let the game begin. This is going to be one crazy game but I'm more than ready.


Just kidding I'm not. Ugh this game is going to be tough. Kill meee. Why do I have a feeling that Lori is already plotting something against me? Why do I have a feeling that Karen is not with me in this game at the moment? Why do I have a feeling that Britney may put me up if she wins HOH? I recently played a game with her, Starz 5, and I was aligned with her...so I'm waiting to see if she offers some sort of an agreement, but she has not.

This Head of Household competition is so tough. I only know like.......................................one. I misunderstood the instructions and thought all of these quotes were quotes that current All Stars players made, but nope. Which makes it even tougher.....ugh.





Well, I'm bored now and I can't figure out this hoh, so I'm going to rate my fellow housemates on how important they are to my game.

Week One

Rachel Plencner

I trust her 100% and I know she trusts me 100% so that's definitely helpful to my game. I also know Rachel is a huge competition whore so if I can't win competitions, I can rely on Rachel to keep me safe.

Porsche Briggs

I think I can trust Porsche 100% as well. She trusts me 100% so my relationship with her sort of resembles my relationship with Rachel. Porsche can be a comp whore as well so I can rely on her to keep me safe too. I just have to always remain on her good side. She warned me about 'double agent-ing' and our alliance of 4 wants Rachel out so....

Jason Guy

I'm not sure if I can fully trust Jason, but I'm gonna give it a shot. He talks to me as if he has full trust in me, so that has to be good. Jason is also in the alliance of 4 so that makes me trust him a bit more. If he's loyal to me, I will be loyal to him. He's so high up on the list of importance because well...he's an ally.

Lori Valenti

Believe it or not, Lori is pretty important to my game....at least for now she is. I don't completely trust her. It's awkward when we talk. I still don't know whether she's being fake or not when I talk to her. :/ I know I'm being jenuine genuine to her, but I just don't know with Lori xD Anyways, fake or not...I need her haha.

I don't know how long this alliance is going to last, I hope it lasts for a while tbh...but seeing as how we don't really have mutual targets, it's going to be tough. I don't want Rachel or Karen out. I want Chima out. I want Russell out. I want Jun out. But nope, we have to deal with Rachel and Karen first. If I win HOH, I'm not putting up Rachel. Soo...

Karen O'Neil

I love Karen <3 I hope she doesn't get hacked again. Anyways, I'm assuming she trusts me. I don't know how much or how little, but I can assume that she has SOME trust in me. I have trust in her too...I don't know if it's the same amount of trust I had in her last season, but I do trust Karen and that's important for my game. She can be good at competitions and having her trust will keep me safe if she wins.

Nick Starcevic

I don't really trust Nick, but he trusts me and that's why I need him. He'll keep me safe in the future when this nice vs naughty twist ends...the problem is...will I keep HIM safe?

Joshuah Welch

Josh? Oh himmmm. Yeah, he floated to final two last season and that's not going to happen this season. He's important to my game because I know he trusts me. He trusted me last season so I'm assuming he'll do so this season as well. I'm gonna have a hard time trusting him because he can flip instantly. So I dunno where his head will be at, but I know as long as I'm in the game..he'll keep me safe.

Parker Somerville

Parker is so useless, haha. I'm sorry, but it's true....but he said he'll help me get far so I'll take it. I'm not helping him though lawl

Cassandra Waldon

Cassandra....is nice. Whenever I talk to her she's always nice...I don't necessarily need her, but she's very smart so I'll just put her in my back pocket for now and take her out later when she's relevant enough.

Russell Kairouz

Russell, Russell, Russell. To trust him or not to trust him. Week 1= to trust him. From now on, I have to deal with Russell very cautiously. He could be playing me when he told me he'd keep me safe, but I wasn't playing him when I told him I'd keep him safe if I win HOH. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I'm not winning HOH because who the hell said these quotes anyways? So I guess I can't keep him safe this week

Amy Crews

Amy is really nice to me and although sometimes awkward, I do enjoy our conversations. She's on vacation now so we don't talk at all, but I hope to talk to her soon so I can get to know her more.

Dominic Briones

I know who Dominic is, he knows who I am. He hates pre-game alliances. So I do not expect him to offer an alliance. I will not offer him an alliance either. I would definitely love to work with him, as he's a huge veto competition whore and likes to win them when he really needs them. I'll try to get closer to him in the future.

Dick Donato

I know who Dick is. He's James from Big Brother Starz. I played with him recently in that game and I know he likes to start drama. I know he likes to stir the pot. I won't tell him who I am because I threw him under the bus in that game lawl. I'll try to maintain a close relationship to him, but meh. Nothing too special.

Britney Haynes

Like I mentioned earlier, I feel like Britney will put me up if she wins HOH. Ugh I hope she doesn't win. That's really all I have for her.

Braden Bacha

I have had one conversation with Braden. So if he wins I should expect to hit to block, but then again I don't know how much communication he's had with everyone else. I'm not sure if he's going to continue the alliance of Braden/Dominic and target Lori. I hope he wants to target Lori. Then I won't have to, haha.

Jun Song

I'm currently talking to her right now. I'm trying to find out who her targets are. She wouldn't tell me, but she did tell me she wants ONE person out. I know exactly who that one person is. Rachel Plencner. Ugh, why does everyone hate her?! She does nothing wrong to people But yeah, she definitely wants Rachel out. So I feel as though I'm safe with her for a bit. I think she's secretly out to get me, though. Anyways, she told me who Dominic is in a different game. Lol I knew this a looooooooooooooong time ago.

Oh crap I'm stupid. I just realized Jun and Rachel are on the same team. Stupid me. Now I have to lower her on the list...

Porsche and Jun are really close. How did I not see this before. Something I just realized, how come the alliance of 4 can spare Porsche's close relationships, aka Jun, but we HAVE to target MY close relationships, aka Rachel and Karen. That's not fair, and I really don't think this alliance is going to work out if we all don't have the same views. I want Jun out of this house. Now.

Chima Simone

Chima is completely useless to my game. The end.

[Drew Daniel]

Yes.

This is the BEST case scenario. It could have not gone any better. I know Jun and Porsche are together. I know Jun wants Rachel gone. The only thing that concerns me is this:

Jason Guy 3:52 pm
I need to tell Rachel that someone on the nice side mentioned targeting her. But idk who to choose yet

I knew if Rachel won, someone from our alliance of 4 is going to try to throw me under the bus. If not Jason, then I expect Lori to do so since she's safe anyway. If they're gonna target me and throw me under the bus, I'm gonna beat them to the punch. I'm gonna beat Porsche and Lori first by telling Rachel that Jun wants her gone. That way she would put up Porsche. Then Jason and I are talking right now and he's thinking of putting up Jun and Chima. Lawl, perfect! Then Jun and Porsche are out the door week 1. Wait, look at this.

Drew Daniel 4:07 pm
and she sort of tried to avoid answering the question, but it kinda seemed like she would put me up. Idk I just felt like I would be on the block for sure if she won HOH. She also told me she had one target, but wouldn't tell me who it was xD

Jason Guy 4:08 pm
Haha it's Porsche I think
She's goin up for sure now

Hahah I'm just not gonna tell him that it's not Porsche and that it's really Rachel. She's going up, and that's what I want.

[Drew Daniel]

Day 3

First and foremost, I would like to address the HOH results yesterday. I was too excited to even analyse the results, haha.

Anyways, I'm not surprised at all that Rachel won HOH. She is the ultimate Big Brother Recycled stalker and knows everything about it, haha. So that I'm not too shocked about. Jason just did his research. Lol at me getting two points, but hey at least I got the one from my season. Oh, Kalia. I can recognize her stupidity anywhere. Porsche's very smart, I'm not surprised she got that many correct.

On to the next subject...nominations.

Rachel's nominations

I am definitely not shocked she nominated this way. She told me she would and even before this game started she told me she wants Cassandra gone early. Why? Because somewhere in Cassandra's DR in BBR11, she posted something relating her game play to that of Sandra from survivor. They actually are very similar....and guess what? Sandra won twice. Cassandra ain't winning twice tbh. Bye bye. I can see why she nominated Parker. Parker really is tough to connect with but somehow I managed to do so. I'm just that good (flex)

Jason's nominations

I kind of want to believe that I influenced Jason's nominations one way or another...but I'm not sure. I told him Jun has a target (Rachel) and he assumed it was Porsche, lmao. Which is why she's up, I guess? Chima was just listed as one of our targets (that I mentioned first) when we first had the alliance meeting.

All in all, I'm just very happy with the nominations. This week could not have gone any better and if Jun gets evicted, it'll be the perfect week. The Cassandra/Parker vote is kind of odd and I'm not sure where I will be falling on that one. I'll just have to see what others think.

I decided not to tell Rachel that Porsche was targeting her. Why? Because of this:

Porsche Briggs (10:27:39 PM): you have always been very very loyal when we work together too

and this:

Porsche Briggs (10:21:44 PM): I think he was thinking Jun really for u

I really do think Porsche and Jason will stay loyal to the alliance, and because of their loyalty they're proving...it's only fair that I be loyal to them as well. The problem is Lori. Lori, Lori, Lori. I do not trust that girl. She will do ANYTHING to get herself a win. Honestly. I just don't know with Lori. I just have to keep talking to her and keep reminding her that I'll be loyal to the alliance. Watch her pull a Russell and tell the entire world about the alliance....

[Drew Daniel]

Day 4

Nothing interesting has happened today. I talked to Jun for the first time in 47 years and it's still rather awkward. We really cannot hold up a conversation, haha.

I talked to Jason as well and my trust for him progressively grows. We're starting to have personal conversations and that tells me I can trust him and he can trust me. He told me his target is Jun for sure. Perfect. Unless Jun wins the power of veto, Jun will be leaving this week. Or I hope that's how it happens.

Lol at the reason for Jun being up on the block is because she's playing this game too hard too fast. I honestly think I'm playing harder than her....so what I'm gonna have to do is chill a little bit just in case someone I don't like wins HOH next week, I won't be seen as a target. Crap, I just realized I don't have that many strong relationships on the naughty side other than Rachel. Lori is iffy. I still don't know if I want to trust her or not. I don't think she will nominate me week two because of the alliance and it'll only make her a target in Jason and Porsche's eyes. I'm not sure if Russell would keep me safe. I'll have to talk to him to see where he stands at this point. Braden seems to have gone inactive? But if he shows up soon I'll talk to him. I feel like Britney would go after me for not talking to her, so I'll have to change that soon. I know I can convince Dick to not nominate me, so I wouldn't be worried if he won HOH. Josh wouldn't nominate me, haha. Or at least I hope he wouldn't. Can Chima win stuff? If so, I hope I can convince her to keep me safe. If Jun somehow makes it past this week and wins next week, I'm dead.

As for who the target is on the nice side...Cassandra. Rachel told me Cassandra is 100% her target this week and that's cool with me. I will be able to use Parker more to my advantage anyways and Cassandra is really hard to talk to without it being awkward. Sooo...bye Cassandra.

[Drew Daniel]

Day 5

Yes.

Karen won POV and that's great. I see no reason for her to use it on either Cassandra or Parker week one. Even if she does use it, I'm sure Rachel wouldn't put me up. Jason won POV and that is great as well. Jason's main target is Jun and that's completely fine with that. I spoke to Jun and she actually gave me something to think about. She told me I'm nowhere near her radar if she wins HOH next week. I'm assuming she would put up Jason/Nick...but ugh...idk. You never know. Chima doesn't talk to me so I'm really really considering evicting her this week.

I'm evicting Cassandra, though. Cassandra needs to go ASAP.

[Drew Daniel]

So Lori, Porsche, Jason, and I had our second meeting today and shit is going down. Out of nowhere, everything just got flipped. Now the targets are Parker and Chima and I absolutely dislike that. I definitely do not trust Jun and she may be lying when she told me she'd keep me safe next week if I vote to keep her. If I vote to keep her, that will also hurt my relationship with Rachel because she wants Jun out. Oh my goodness. I don't know what to doooo.

Okay so the people I know will probably evict Jun are:

Rachel, Amy, Cassandra, Dick, Nick, Karen?, Josh, Parker?

Evicting Chima are:

Porsche, Lori.

Ugh this is such a confusing vote. I've never been so confused on a vote before. I have to decide right now which way I want to go. It's basically my alliance's opinion vs Rachel's opinion. Who do I trust more? I honestly think I should go with Rachel....but I feel like I would end up on the minority of the votes then my alliance will find out and I would be screwed! Ah, someone tell me what to dooo.

This should not be this difficult. I'm hearing so many things and so many valid arguments. Rachel is saying that anyone associated with her directly or indirectly will be targeted. Seeing as how Jun is on the naughty side WITH Rachel, she can't go after Rachel...so she has to go with her friends on the nice side. AKA me.

But then I have my alliance telling me that having Chima in the game won't benefit us at all. She would possibly nominate one of us. If Jun stays, she would not nominate either Porsche or myself. Porsche says she can get Jun to do whatever she suggests. However, do I want to rely on Porsche's word and have her be the one talk Jun out of not nominating me or Jason. I'm not sure. Do I want to risk being in the minority by going with Porsche and her possibly finding out? I'm not sure.

This is so difficult. I have no idea what to do. I probably won't make up my mind until 5 minutes before the vote is due. Ugh I'm gonna feel so bad for the people I have to go against. I just don't know what group that is.

My alliance wants Cassandra to stay. Rachel wants Parker to stay. Ugh damn. Why can't you all just be friends and agree on everything. Seriously. Maybe I will vote with one group on one set and vote with the other group on the second set.

Decisions decisions.

[Drew Daniel]

Day 6

I am still hesitant on what I want to do with this vote. I'm trying to rally up votes to evict Jun so that she leaves. For some reason I just feel threatened by her. I'm also looking out for Rachel. Jun will definitely go after Rachel and friends if she stays. So I'm trying to get votes to evict Jun and then I can stay loyal to my alliance and evict Chima. That way Jun still leaves and I'm still in good with my alliance. Rachel wants Cassandra out more than Jun, but my alliance wants to keep Cassandra. So I'm basically telling people that I've been hearing Cassandra and Jun are the votes and that's what the majority is thinking. Then I simply vote to evict Parker and Chima and next week I will be safe either way. If Jun stays, I will tell her I voted to keep her. If Jun leaves, I will convince Rachel that I voted to evict her. Same thing with Cassandra. I'm not sure if that's what I'm going to do, though. I still have to make sure I have sufficient votes for this to work out perfectly.

[Drew Daniel]

Day 7

Wow. That was a very close vote. In a way I'm happy how this vote turned out but in a way I'm so worried about my future in this game because of how this vote turned out. Porsche knows I voted to evict her and I just wanted to be honest with her. I know I can trust Porsche 100% now and I will probably work to keep her safe for a while. But I also have to look out for myself and I think keeping Jun would've not been very helpful for MY game. It would've been helpful for Porsche and Lori...but I don't think Jun could have helped me much.

I told Porsche the reason I voted to evict Jun was because I was 'confused' and because I was worried about Jason. I guess that's true...I was worried about Jason.

Anyways, I have to try and convince Rachel and Parker that I voted to evict Cassandra. I also have to say that for Porsche because I don't want her to be targeted.

The Power of Transfer is interesting. Our alliance is back on square one, though because we have 3 on the nice side and 1 on the naughty side keeping all of us safe. I do think we can work around it, though. Karen is obviously threatened by Lori and she's onto the fact that there's an alliance stirring shit up. She thinks it consists of people on the naughty side and the nice side.

Jason- Nice
Drew- Nice
Lori- Nice
Porsche- Naughty

But hey, there could be more alliances at this point!

[Chenbot]

Porsche knows I voted to evict her and I just wanted to be honest with her.

[Drew Daniel]

Bleh
