Week 1- A New Beginning

[Gerry]

Hey everyone! Gerry here. You may remember me from such ORGs as Big Brother Starz 10, Sausage Island 2 and Rise and Fall 1 and 2. I am a huge fan of this series and I'm happy to be a part of it again, especially as Gerry who is totally adorable. If I made it to third as Joe, I can definitely do it as Gerry, I just need to step my game up.

[Gerry]

The main thing I need to do at the beginning is talk, talk talk! I know that at this point, not everyone has even checked in yet, but that doesn't matter. I did talk to a few people. I would have stayed on but I accidentally got drunk and I don't want to be the drunk one yet.

I talked to:
Penny
Pilar
John
Audrey

I actually talked to Pilar first, which is funny since she was the first person I truly thew shade at. That said, we got along fine. First impression? 5/10, not a target but not a serious alliance.

I really like Penny, our conversation flowed really naturally and we had a lot in common. 8/10, would work with.

John is another good guy, but he reminds me a lot of John from the show. I like him for now and there is a LOT that can happen but I just have a gut feeling that I will need to keep my eye on him. 6.5/10, would work with if he asked.

Audrey is the last person I talked to and she was very friendly and we both geeked out over Big Brother. I started talking when I was already drunk so our convo was short, but very good. 7/10, would work with.

[Gerry]

Oh yeah, dear everyone reading this. You will quickly learn that I frequently do drunk confessionals. No regerts.

Merci beaucoup! I'll do my best to keep things interesting in here for you guys.

Last thing before I pass out: There is definitely some recency bias. All the Canadians are from season 3 and all the Americans are from 17. People do base a little bit off other people's character choices so I'm glad money is more of an unknown (though apparently he wrote a book). I am obviously going to talk to these people anyway, but I would have loved to see Andrew, Kenny, Sarah, Jon, Arlie, and/or Ally (I know Neda was already used). Even though Godfrey made final 2, I never really liked him.

Okay, at this point, I'm just rambling. I'm going to put the phone down now...

How I feel about starting this game:

[Gerry]

I talked to Charlotte this morning and to use her phrase, she's "zen as hell". She may be from the UK, which is kind of irrelevant to anything but it's cool so whatever. I really got along with her, she seems to be very easy going. 7/10, potential solid friend.

[Gerry]

I talked to Adam today. He is a decent guy, not very exciting but not super bland either. I feel very meh about him, honestly. 5.5/10, .....meh.

I also talked to Jackie and I got good vibes from her too. She is upbeat and bubbly, things I generally gravitate to. She also made some good jokes which is important when you're meeting new people. 7/10.

Penny is still the person I probably bonded with the most, but there's plenty of people left to meet!

[Gerry]

Normally I don't post direct conversations because I find them taxing to read and I'd rather sum them up, but sometimes gems like these happen that I just cannot pass up.

vanessa rousso
and tell themj I smell a budding romance
or shomance

Gerry Stergiopoulos
Hahaha, I don't know about *that*
I think Vanessa and Gerry are both gay

[Gerry]

So apparently you can't edit your posts.... I need to amend my rating for Adam. I got along with him quite well after that point, he was just busy. I'll give him an extra point, making him 6.5/10 and after I talk to everyone, I'll make a full list.

10 bucks says the first competition is Majority Rules!

[Gerry]

So, if the only bond that I make with someone is the fact that we both have a vowel in our name, I don't care, I will make some sort of connection with every player here. I know there are a lot of players, but I don't care it's happening. That being said...

Zach. I lied, he is my new favorite person. I bonded with him over theatre and then horror films. Well, I was watching one and he let me be a nervous wreck while I watched it. He's very well-spoken and could be dangerous if he's not on my side. 8/10

Godfrey- Much like the real Godfrey, honestly. Not bad, but the conversation died. He's kind of an odd one. 6/10

Michael- You know who's an odd one? Michael. When asked who I don't want to work with, it's people like Michael. He's so fucking random and weird and it's not entertaining to me, it's just annoying. For example, he said he was going to cover himself in oregano and cry himself to sleep. Amusing? Sure. Can I align with that? Fuck no. 2/10.
