This round when I visited the first 7 of the houses on my schedule, the actives directly asked me how many houses I had been invited back to. Not thinking of any ramifications I was honest and answered that I was lucky enough to have been invited back to 12, but followed it up with how excited I was to be at their house. (Which I was!) My Rho Chi later told me that they weren't supposed to ask that and in no way was I supposed to answer because they were looking for information about competition and by answering I could have really hurt my chances. Now I am worried that I really messed up.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. They definitely should not have asked. Please DO NOT beat yourself up for "messing up" because you didn't; you did nothing wrong. You were asked a question and answered it in an honest, diplomatic way. Not your fault AT ALL and those actives should be ashamed of themselves. Wishing you the best.

In my opinion if they directly asked you had to answer. You would've hurt your chances more if you were awkward and tried to avoid the question! I'm so sorry this happened but you must be a top PNM if people are asking you these type of questions!

I got asked this question too! I was sort of caught off guard, but I just played dumb a little and answered "I have 3 more houses to go today!" and immediately asked her a follow up question about herself so that she couldn't clarify or try to re-ask the question. An older friend recommended me to purposefully play dumb and have a snappy question ready to redirect the conversation.
