ROUND TWO



I was cut pretty hard after first round, and at first I was really bummed out, but I realized after a while that I had liked all of the houses I was asked back to, and that I should be happy!

Lincoln: I warmed up more to this house after their party. It was really interesting to watch their video on their philanthropy, and both of the girls I talked to were really nice. We also did a house tour, and the house was pretty cute and the room set ups seemed like fun. We seemed to have pretty good, genuine conversations, so I’m excited to see if I get this house back tomorrow!

Buick: I really can’t convince myself to warm up to this house. Again, the girls I talked to were nice enough, but I really just don’t click with them at all. The conversations seem horribly…forced. The house was really nice and the rooms were all beautifully decorated, but I really just don’t see myself here. One interesting thing, however, is that I seemed to keep committing verbal faux pas (not on purpose!) during house tours. We were talking about losing our voices, and I said something along the lines of "we're all going to be silent on bid day!" meaning that in general, all the girls rushing wouldn't be able to speak, but based on the fact that she looked funny and quickly changed the subject, I think she thought I was saying "all of us HERE are going to be silent," and it seemed like I was being a bit presumptuous. And after that, I said something along the lines of "I'd love to live in a room like this when I live in house!...uh um, if I get into a sorority, that is." It was insanely awkward, and again she did a quick subject change. I felt so stupid!

Audi: I was so SO happy to see them back on my schedule. I was a bit bummed that so many of the houses I liked had dropped me, so I was thrilled that Audi had decided to give me another chance! I seemed to click very well with the two girls I talked to, and it was just fun to interact with them and it seemed very natural. Their philanthropy really interests me, and I was planning to do volunteer work involving a similar cause, so I was excited about that! I really hope to be back tomorrow.

Toyota: This was another house that I warmed up to, and by the time I left today, I found myself liking them a lot more. Their philanthropy is also extremely interesting, and it’s for a cause that I believe in very strongly, so that made me happy. The house tour was a lot of fun, and I liked that rather than have a pile of girls in one of the upstairs room trying to talk over each other, they took you to an empty bedroom for a bit to escape the crowd and chat for a couple of minutes. I like this house much better than I did yesterday!

Although all of the houses were ranked as 1s for me because I had less than five, here are my own personal, unofficial rankings:

1. Audi
2. Toyota
3. Lincoln
4. Buick
