how we feeling?

We got to see the houseguest intros this episode, which are very bland compared to now. The fading visuals combined with the soft piano music could put me to sleep if they went on much longer. As far as the actual episode goes, it was pretty interesting. Mike made it a point in the diary room to say he’s here to play and ‘these people knew what they were signing up for.’ I love that. Nowadays everyone is so scared to make a move or to nominate anybody. Here it’s very cut and dry. I also had to laugh when at one point Kent fully discloses to Mike, the HOH, that he’s in an alliance with Justin. If you put this situation in later seasons, those 2 would be on the block so fast.

This episode also had a luxury competition. The houseguests had to dive into ‘mud’ (it looked like oatmeal) and find each others keys and then all 12 of them had to get their keys and go back to the start to win and the prize was the hot tub being unlocked. The houseguests did end up winning this and it was funny that Nicole dove in too considering earlier in this episode she talks about her phobia of being in the water with people. I would’ve figured mud would be worse. 

Also in this episode we got to see Bunky come out to the ladies in the house. Autumn was the first person he told and she was so sweet about it, hugging him and iving him encouragement. Later, when he’s telling Monica, Mike listened in through the door and found out that Bunky was gay. He takes it pretty well too and says that he doesn’t care, so it was a ood episode for Bunky! 

Hardy “I believe life is an adventure.” Athlete, meh

Krista “The #1 drama queen” Potential to be good because of potential drama

Will (biased) Every day i walk a fie line between confidence and being cocky.” “I plan by episode 5 there’ll be a girl washing my clothes.” Dislike. Obnoxious and seems pretentious

Shannon “I’m the athlete.” Athlete, meh

Kent “I’m opinionated and if you want me to I’d be happy to get on your nerves” “There’s going to be freaks and weirdos and I’ll like to make fun of them.” Older, good for potential drama but otherwise meh

Monica “I am Brooklyn” Older. All I can think of is bb12’s Rachel: “I am Vegas.” but otherwise meh

Autumn “I’m only good when I’m bad” Cute! I feel like the guys will thirst after her though. Favorite so far.

Bunky “I’m creative, complex, and crazy” Good potential drama because of that crazy comment but i dont know what he means by complex. Could be annoying.

Sherri “I’m an experience you’ll never forget” Older, might be good for drama???

Mike (biased) “I like chilling with the ladies.” Obnoxious “ladies man” type

Nicole “You’re either going to love me or you’re going to hate me.” She seems like shes going to be dramatic and I can’t wait

* Sub-plots for Terra, Aqua and Ventus, and not just Ventus 

* Terra getting some final closure regarding Master Eraqus 

* New lore about the Realm of Darkness

* Ventus recovering his KHUX memories and learning about Darkness 

* Eraqus, Terranort, Anti-Aqua and/or Xehanort appearing in some form (maybe as visions)

Terra, Aqua and Ventus having a (probably brief) conversation about what happened to them while they were separated 

* Aqua’s long time in the Realm of Darkness being referenced

* Terra’s time as Xehanort’s vessel being referenced

* Also, Aqua and Terra’s reunion in the Realm of Darkness being referenced (because I really want to see Terra’s reaction to actually seeing the RoD for the first time, since last time he couldn’t actually see where Aqua was)

* Aqua having a bit of trouble being in the Realm of Darkness again

It’s the Castle of Dreams. (Image ref from KHUx, just so you can see the comparison)

The reason this doesn’t come up in KH3 is because this is actually addressed in a separate game. Initially, the scenes shown were meant to be a part of “Birth by Sleep Volume 2″ which was essentially going to be an anthology of stories explaining a few plot points in the lead in to Kingdom Hearts III. Unfortunately, Birth by Sleep Volume 2 never really got revisited and most of the ideas were either briefly featured in Re:coded at best (I see Riku hiding in that clocktower, an optional scene in the original Re:coded) or just never showed up (looking at you Twilight Town Kairi).

Aqua’s story, or the continuation of it, however, is one of the few things to actually release, it was a part of the Kingdom Hearts 2.8 HD Final Chapter Prologue that released a couple of years ago, and is labeled on the game as “Kingdom Hearts 0.2 A Fragmentary Passage.”
