Do you like NoelSarah... May 27, 2009
... for her personality, or the fact she wins you money on games? ;)

Stars - A question May 1, 2009
Hi.

I was just wondering, does the eliminated person's votes count in a Stars game?  eg, Mandy and Rob are nommed against each other on day 3: Mandy gets eliminated.  Do her nominations still count, or are they void due to her elimination?

Thanks in advance!

Bets Feb 4, 2009
I've heard you no longer get money anymore from bets made on yourself when you play a game.  And the tooltip for bets supports this.

I thought it was a nice way to reward the target put on ones back for receiving bets, and also to reward consistently good play :)

Why has it been changed?

HoH - Is it random now? Jan 20, 2009
See http://www.tengaged.com/blog/randomize/19708/algorithm-bugs for an update!

----

I heard a new Algorithm was installed, but I didn't know what the changes were, so if this has been posted already, sorry.

Before this new algo was installed, the most active person won HoH in Rookies games other than Day 1 which was random.

However in my current Rookies game, the most active people haven't won HoH on either Day 2 or Day 3, and lost out to less active people (no offence Unnamed and Bubbly, I hope this doesn't shoot me in the foot :D). 

The algo nomination does appear to actually be the least active person, though :o  I don't know if the veto conditions have changed.

I was wondering if this means HoH is random between those who are safe now?

And, any other thoughts or answers about the new algorithm would be appreciated. :D

Two Thirds of an Orange Dec 17, 2008
Although I'm quite tired, I wanted to make a blog about my recent games.

I completed two Rookies games earlier, in which I came third in both (Congratulations to NoelSarah and Emmaleigh who won).  I did so having never won HoH, which is not bad in itself. 
Both games were interesting in their own way.  I believe I was honest in both games :)

It's quite funny that, after a whole week, you are still left with half the people in the game!

#7654 had quite a bit of drama early on, which started things off on a low note, however later on this cleared up and the game ended on a good note! I was surprised to make the final, because I was nominated after the first day, however I survived and went the whole distance.   

#7653 was a pleasant game, although timezones meant I often missed the more interesting late night (US time) chats and thus put me at a disadvantage :)
Everyone in this game was new to me, so I'm happy I met some new people and I hope we meet again.

I would also like to say that... even when it's tough, it is just a game.  Don't take what other people say to heart "too" much.  And, you're not out until you're out.  And, veto is a precious and powerful thing!  Use it well ;)

What is my biggest point to improve?  To be consistently active throughout the whole game. :)

On another note, I have also purchased Orange colour level, hence the somewhat strange mention in the title!

Thanks for reading, and see you around!

My first win :D Dec 6, 2008
My first win posted in my first blog ;)

It was a really cool game (7609), and I could chat to pretty much everyone, there was no bad air.  I wouldn't have been sad to come third, though, the win was a pleasant surprise.   

I have to thank everyone who saved me from the first eviction when I joined last, or I suppose I would be at the opposite end of the table at 20th :o

There was no drama whatsoever, which was also very cool :P

Mand, Fyffer and Daniel, you were all great fun and kept the house alive :)) I hope we meet again!
Jack, Danielle and djmiguel, you were all cool too :))

See you all in another game sometime :))
