That, or do the same Derek was doing at the begining of the season: Strategize.

Take the Choices guide and do some planning. I do it on my second playthrough with marvelous results.

Keep on mind that some characters will leave the competition before others, so is truly recommendable to "harvest" all the points you can on that characters that will leave near the end of the book. (e.g: Handsome Stranger, Beautiful Contestant, Derek, and Bianca/Teagan).

I think, and I really do, that every character has a different "Ally Threshold", meaning that every character have their own point requirements to reach certain level. On that note, I was in love with the Beautiful Contestant, but it took me forever to get her has an ally, while getting other characters was significantly more easy (with the exception of the Handsome Stranger who was a rock hard to crack).

Now then, characters like Ryder and Han are easy to please (also, they have a kind of "bonus" points, since they like you straight from chapter 1). I get Ryder has an ally as soon as I get to the Jury House, while Han some time later

Zeke is also easy to please, but at the middle of the book it looks like their points are mostly opposite with the interest of the other Contestants. Is good to mark points on him when you have the chance, since those are scarce.

On the other hand, must of the actions that pleases Lina tend to affect negative the other contestants, so keep that on mind. Is safer to mark her as enemy sooner. And since someone who betrays you are not going to vote for you either way, is better if you don't please her at all.

Hope that helps, now go and murder girl at point-blank embarassment on reality TV.

You're welcome :)
