Pre-Game:
I thought I'd take some time to outline my initial strategy in the game as well as outline my fellow Favorites strategies (the one's they used in previous seasons). I think this will be helpful in seeing the kinds of people they are because rarely do strategies switch up in these types of games.
Strategy:
My initial strategy is going to be similar to the first season. Firstly, I want to scout out a core alliance of at least 6 people so that we can control the majority. From there I want to attempt to find at least 3 people within this proposed group (including myself) to connect with personally like I did with Cassi, John, and Gregory. Basically from there I want to remain relatively meek and not take too much control for a couple weeks since that always leads to an early demise *cough* Gregory *cough*
. I will take the opportunity, however, to play both sides by socializing with everyone in our group. I want to do this simply because I've realized the more you socialize with people the less likely you're to be voted off early. Although, I have to be careful not to sneer myself into a trap by promising too many things. If I make it to the Jury rounds I still want to stick with the core alliance (if it's still around) for only a few rounds before I begin to vote them out. Strategically it would be risky to jump ship so early, but it will have to occur at some point and if it's done early perhaps the players will be less angry in the end. Thus this could work in my advantage if I made the finals. This strategy is pretty much hypothetical so I don't expect it to go right all the time, but one can only hope. Finally, one thing I promise I will not do is make fun of people! That did me in last time with Michael & I am NOT about to repeat history. Instead I will be the nicest (even if I can't stand your tube lips) that anyone has ever met. 
Favorites Prior Strategies:
Beau -
Placement: 8th Place, 5th Juror
* Did trust Gloria so perhaps they will rekindle their relationship
* Seems trustworthy to an extent, but has a superiority complex & doesn't like being told what to do. Small penis perhaps?
* Believes in a good social game therefore that is his strength & it's going to be his weakness.
Ben -
Placement: 5th Place, 7th Juror
* Very nice person & was a force to reckon with in his season
* Seems trustworthy & he adopted a similar strategy in his season that I want to utilize this time around. Perhaps he will join me?
* Competitive & very strong at challenges especially posting ones
* May or may not have a connection with Carly already
Carly -
Placement: 4th Place, 8th Juror
* Social player, but seems to be competitive as well
* Apparently she aligns with relatively attractive people. Thank goodness I am
. *Jokes*
* Carly, Tina, and Ben all were on the same tribe in S3. Perhaps they will stick together?
* LOVES Mean Girls!
Chad -
Placement: 12th Place, 1st Juror
* Not very good so he will be the easiest target to get out.
* Rarely writes in his confessional ... & when he does it's BORING!
* Had an alliance with Zoe
Gloria -
Placement: 9th Place, 4th Juror
* Came back from purgatory implying that she is good at challenges & extremely competitive
* Huge ego thinking she's the best
* Possibly going to align with Beau, but last time they talked it seemed like they were on poor terms (she called him mentally unstable. LMAO)
* Holds grudges
Laela -
Placement:
* Erratic & you never know what she is going to do
* Untrustworthy after what happened in our last game together
Stephanie -
Placement: 11th Place, 2nd Juror
* Easily paranoid ... like extremely paranoid!
* Not very social
* Close with Gloria which is a downside
* Never really had a strategy ; Extremely UTR
Taylor -
Placement: 7th Place, 6th Juror
* Got along with Faith/Laela & had an alliance with her
* Over spreads himself in alliances which was his downfall
* Had a similar strategy as to the one I want to deplore this season
Tina -
Placement:
* OTT in a ridiculous way
* Untrustworthy because she flip flops too much
Zoe -
Placement: 9th Place, 4th Juror
* Well liked by many people
* OTT as well
* Very annoying & seems like she's going to act as if she's superior to everyone
* Lacks confessionals so she's a toss-up player
