PREPS . . . Alejandro- I think Alejandro has a huge advantage in the fact that he knows of or knows several players. Also something that would go for him, is that he is very likable. I can see him being very social, very quick. That could get him into a huge problem! MaryBeth already asked why he was typing so much during the call. I’m excited to seeing Alex play and see if his social abilities will get him targeted early or he’d be able to take it home. MaryBeth- She was very quiet on the call tonight, but she’s very observant. I think a lot of people would underestimate her and letting her go far. She’s going to be very social. It’ll be interesting seeing how she’ll do. She mentioned wanting to target Ojani because she dislikes him, I want to watch it! Mimi- She’s going to have a great social game as well, a lot of people are going to like her and she’ll do very well. Not many people know how capable she is of a player so she’s going to be able to make it very far. I want to see how she’ll do playing with a cast where she doesn’t know half of them. Ojani- He was very quiet in the call, not sure if that’s good or bad. He is coming into the game with a bad rep about him, MaryBeth already wants him out. If Ojani plays it very cool and builds bridges, he will be okay. Another thing that may help him is that while he may be targeted for being quiet, Chrissa and Donald may be targeted more if they rub people off the wrong way.

Nerds . . . Carley- Definitely one of my favorites tonight! Her "not impressed" face was so funny! I'm going to have to thank Miranda for sending her this way! I can see her going very far, there's already a chat between Carley, Stephen,Alejandro, and Paula which I LOVE. I like those four and I can see them destroying the game. But to keep on with Carley, can't wait to see how she does. Chrissa- I think Chrissa started the night GREAT, she was very funny and likable. She's an awesome person but in a game revolved around social game, I don't think she was aware of how much she needed to talk. She was doing so good but then she sort of starting dominating the call along with Donald. I think that can potentially put a target on her back, I can see her being either first or second boot. John- I'm excited to see John play, I think he is a savage as a player. I can see him being in a good spot for a while, people won't target him yet I think. He knows Pete, Alejandro and maybe others. He was very laid back in the first call, which is good. Pete-He was pretty quiet throughout the call, I sensed that he was uncomfortable with what Donald was saying. Pete is a lovable person so I can see a lot of people liking him. He will get far. I think he will eventually get closer to everyone on a one to one.

Jocks . . . Ashley- She was very quiet on call tonight, I don't think she said a word. I think she won't be one of the biggest players this season. She'll either go UTB or leave really early because people would nominate her. Let's see if she picks it up and how much it affects her game. Her and MaryBeth know one another so that may help her. Clayton- He did not show much for the call as he was with friends. He approached Stephen and talked a bit on chat with him. I think Clayton will be approachable if he can work it. I can see him being a big player in the game and then being targeted later on. I'm excited to seeing him play. Jake- He wasn't on until after at night. I wonder how much is going to hurt him. I don't think I can see him being first or second out, but I don't see him going far either. Alejandro already expressed not being very happy with Jake being in the game. It'll be interesting to see how Jake does. Paula- Definitely one of the favorites!!! Her facial expressions are the best. I love her and I'm glad she applied. I think she'll be very social and likable. She won't come off very threatening which is great for her. So excited to seeing her play, I'm sure she won't disappoint. She's great.

Rebels . . . Donald- Iconic mess! This guy is GOLD but a mess. I think he drank a bit too much and he was talking so loud in call. He is funny as hell but can rub people off the wrong way. Based on impression, I think Alejandro and Paula totally were shocked by him. I would not be surprised if Donald was first boot which sucks because he is so entertaining and funny to watch. I guess he'd learn for his season ORG, I'll be following! Elise- One of my pre-season favorites as well! Sucks she wasn't able to get on call much tonight. Will see how much that would hurt her but I think she'll be very social and likable so I can see her doing well! Can't wait to see her evolve as a player. One of the players I was most excited to see play! Latanya- I love Latanya! I know she's totally going to be a firecracker soon! She just kinda watched and stayed quiet tonight. I think her and Donald may not get along which may be interesting. Stephen- He is great! I think he is getting along with Alejandro, Paula, Carley which I'd like them together. He is also talking to Clayton here and there but it's very short conversations. I think Stephen would get sassy eventually, can't wait!

Thoughts on possible alliances forming... . . . Carley/Stephen/Alejandro/Paula- one of my favorites alliances forming so far. I think this group totally has potential and can make it far if they make it together. Alejandro and Paula seemed to be pretty loyal to it based on confessional and giving information. Stephen and Carley have been more quiet on giving information but that's probably because they don't have many to give. I do fear that Stephen may crash with members of the alliance and break it sooner than later, but for now it's great!
Donald/Pete- I love the alliance between these two! They are so different in personality that I don't think many people would necessarily point them out as an alliance unless Donald spreads it out, which is likely. I think Donald would be loyal to the alliance for now at least, I do think Pete may use the alliance until needed but I don't think it'd be a priority to him. Also, it worries me that Pete won't get used to Donald's personality so it won't last long. But I really like these two working together!
Alejandro/Clayton- This seems like a bit of an odd alliance for me. Yesterday Alejandro stated that he wanted to target Clayton if he won HOH but then 2 minutes later I joined their call and they were flirting. It was like weird flirting so this may turn into a showmance soon. It'll be interesting if it does to see how it changes Alejandro's game.
Mimi/Alejandro- They were a final 2 in RRBB, I initially thought they'd be an auto duo which is why they were cast in the same clique so they'd be split up in class but their relationship is sorta interesting. They seem to be working together for now. But Alejandro did mention in his confessional that he did not want to work with Mimi long term. Mimi is also concerned that Alejandro would want her out sooner than later which is interesting to see how they start acting soon.
Ashley/Paula/MaryBeth- I think this alliance was made out of "I know you or I know of you concept". These ladies have seen each other before so they gravitated towards each other. Looks like MaryBeth was the one that sorta initiated and probably is the one that is most loyal to the group. Ashley is probably not the most active player so far, it's hard for her to contribute much to the group yet. Paula on the other hand is active but showing that her loyalty are to Alejandro/Stephen/Carley as she told them today everything MaryBeth told her about the class picks. I don't think the alliance will last very long. Besides the fact that Ashley may go super early, the group as a three won't last.
John/Alejandro- These two were really close a long time ago which I had no idea about. I knew John hosted Alejandro but I didn't know they were close. I think they work well together because they share some of the same opinions and views on people. I can see them getting far together without people seeing that they are close in the game. However, I think Alejandro's other connections will be the reason John may target him later on in the game.

Paula is the social beast that I thought she'd be! #WinnerPick

Donald really has redeemed himself in my eyes. He has a lot of passion and really wants to play. I love that. I hope he does last in this game because he is not only entertaining but he really WANTS to be here, I love watching players like that.

WEEK THOUGHTS
Alex won HOH & Veto. He decided to nominate Ashley & Elise ; I think that was the easiest decision for Alex to make as both Ashley and Elise were pretty quiet the first few days. Both of them have stepped it up which is pretty good but it is a bit too late for one of them. I love the twist because people are stuck between saving someone from their clique or class etc. Ashley has a connection with MaryBeth who would probably fight for her to stay. Elise has made a connection with Stephen who will fight for her to stay. The difference is that Stephen would probably have more pull than MaryBeth in getting votes so as it looks Elise would be staying. I predict the vote being 9-4 or 10-3, Ashley leaving.
DYNAMICS John, Mimi, Paula, Pete and Alex seem to be talking about having an alliance with Donald, Carley, and Stephen as the ones in the side. I think this group could potentially dominate this game if it actually happens. If this group forms and stay loyal, they will be making it far because the people outside of the group would more than likely not target someone that is in the group. The only people not in the group targeting someone in that group would probably be MaryBeth, Ojani, maybe Elise . But even if someone would target the group, they may be more than likely to take down someone who isn't in the core. It will be interesting to see who wins the next HoH.
