Week 1 (Little House)

[Jackie Ibarra]

I'm baaaack! After the craziness of last season and how completely ridiculous everyone was at the end, I'm kinda surprised I'm here.

Just give me a quick minute to gripe and then I'll put it all behind me and get positive about this season. Basically everyone was super hypocritical. Like I should have just rolled over and taken the strongest people to the end when they were taking out threats themselves. Um....I wasn't playing for them. And speaking of a lot of my so called "allies;" They never had my best interests at heart so why should I give a fuck about theirs?! Although they wanted to sit there at the end and play the innocent "woe is me" card, no one was really looking to work with me, just use me for their own ends. The only person I feel that was really genuine who I kinda still feel bad about is Victoria. She wasn't playing the house like the other people and probably had my back for real, but I still feel I wouldn't have gotten to the end if I hadn't done what I did. 

Basically to sum it up, I really don't trust a single person from my season and don't plan to. I'll play nice, but Jackie isn't here to be your bitch.

The little house twist is interesting, but it gives us an extra challenge to survive before we make it into the actual house. Plus we miss all that initial bonding that comes the first couple of weeks in the game and will have to fight already cemented alliances. Maybe we'll get something in the little house that will bring us through. Of course on the upside, maybe some of the judgmental bitches from my season *cough Nicole Meg Nick cough* will be gone by the time I'm in the house and I won't have to deal with them. I guess we'll see what happens...

Ok I've been a super horrible houseguest and haven't been doing DRs

I'm so sorry Julie! Here's some wine and chocolate to make up for it!!!!

I'll do better in the future. So let's go back to Week 1.

With being in the little house, I kinda feel like I'm not really in the game. I like the twist, but it's weird being on this side of it. Except I'm going to be pumped when I make it into the big house and get to surprise everyone!!

Anyways because of that, I didn't really talk to anybody much before the first HOH. From first impression in our message thread, I felt like Michelle and I were really going to mesh so I was excited to potentially work with her. Wil I was unsure about and Cody I knew from my previous season, although we weren't really close, I felt like I could make it work in this game. The first HOH ends up being a popularity one so I'm not that confident about it considering my existing social game up to this point. To make it easy, I split my love letter 1/1/1. But lo and behold, Cody ends up getting basically every love letter which really shows what a threat he could be. Since I know I split my vote and Wil only had the one I gave him, that makes it obvious that Cody gave all three of his to Michelle. Is this a twosome I need to break up....? We'll see....

Cody nominates Wil and I for eviction, but I don't really have any hard feelings towards him for it. He made a seriouslygood point in his speech. It's all about the veto. Whoever wins veto controls the vote, hands down. Winning HOH is nice, but veto has the true power in the little house.

Veto get's posted and it's......*drumroll please*......a puzzle challenge!





In case you don't know, Jackie is the queen of puzzle comps. Literally, I do puzzles in my free time all the time (and props to Recycled for introducing me to Jigsaw Planet all those years ago). I do my first time for each half and decide I can get it under 10 minutes. Sure enough, I get that done easily and all that's left to do is submit and wait and see.

Results are posted and I win! (obvi)

So I take myself off the block and start thinking about the vote. I ask Cody what he thinks because I want to at least make it seem like I'm considering his opinion. He says he likes Michelle better, but both Michelle and Wil are into working together to vote out any evicted houseguests right out of the little house so he's fine with either.

Now I've talked to Michelle the least at this point which kinda bums me out since I had such high hopes for working with her. After I won veto, she sent me a quick message that basically said "Congrats-hope you use your vote to save me." But that's basically it. I think about the first HOH and how close Cody and Michelle seem already and decide this is my chance. Not only to I break up a potential team (that doesn't include me), I start earning goodwill from Wil that can help me later in the game.

Decision made- my vote is cast! On to week 2!

I've tried to add the wine like 5 times and it won't show up. I don't think BB wants you drunk Julie

One more try....
