My heart was like definitely racing the entire week I was in stars - I think your adrenaline goes up esp if you’re pretty invested in it, and hence the lack of appetite, nervousness, etc! (Watch me be wrong on the effects of adrenaline... oh well!)
Rooting for you, I have randomly just decided! Hope you go all the way. Resist the urge to overplay right away - make solid alliances and have core people you can trust.
