This is my strat. hang loose for a while at first. I have a problem with not getting involved with the drama of the house but it is best not to at first. Ride the popularity horse as far as it can take you. Don't trust anyone too far. But sometimes you gotta trust the "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine." If you promise to scratch someones back, scratch it. Don't get called out as a liar. Be honorable. If you lose because you kept your word so be it. if your ass has been saved from the block several times from the same players return in kind. This builds bonds and trust. DO NOT cutthroat until the end. Last five players is anyones game. Throw down the gauntlets but remember who your friends are. But remember. Go to the end with the most unlikeable player. America loves the a****** but your housemates didn't. If you stayed true to yourself and kept your word the jury will vote in your favor. You deserved it.
