…okay, well, I’m not that confused.
I mean, it’s Big Brother and we all know how Big Brother is played. People make multiple alliances and, with some prodding from the show’s producers, they come up with cutesy names for their alliances. There’s always a lot of talk about what the House wants but usually it comes down to what one very outspoken person is demanding. Whenever a player comes on too strong — like Amanda in BB15 or Frankie in BB16, there’s a tendency to let them boss everyone around and basically use them to be the villain.
(The smartest thing Andy did in BB15 was to make an alliance with Amanda and then allow her to do all the dirty work until he could finally betray her.)
But these past few days…
Seriously, these houseguests have been playing like crazy since the live feed came on. Actually, they were playing before the live feeds even began. And, to a certain extent, I’m glad that the people there want to play but I still have my doubts about whether or not anyone in the house is smart enough to maintain a consistent strategy.
Unfortunately, it does sometimes make it a struggle to keep up with who is working with who and who is going to the next one to be betrayed by his or her former allies.
Right now, everyone seems to be okay with backdooring Jace after the veto ceremony. And that’s okay with me. I haven’t gotten to watch as much of the live feeds as I would have liked over the past few days. But from what I have seen, Jace is a loudmouthed jerk. He’s the type that my cousin Erica would call a “dumbfug toadsucker” but that’s just because Erica doesn’t like to curse.
Jace appears to only have one real ally in the house and that’s Austin.
And speaking of Austin, I had high hopes for him during the first episode. He was the big scary-looking guy who was smarter than he looked. That’s one of my favorite type of players right there! But, from what I’ve seen of him since that episode, Austin has not impressed me. He mostly seems to be in the house for the fame.
The only thing that keeps Austin from being the biggest disappointment is that Vanessa is in the house. For someone who was presented as being this super sneaky, strategic-minded poker player, Vanessa has so far either been a cry baby or a nonentity.
So far, it seems like Audrey is playing the most determined game right now. She’s in two alliances right now — or at least she was the last time that I checked. She could have formed five more in the time it took me to write this, that’s how hard Audrey’s playing this game. And ultimately, I think that will be her downfall. She’s not as obnoxious as Amanda but she’s definitely making the same mistake of trying to dominate the house too early.
(And yes, the whole idea of an all-girls alliance fell apart pretty quickly. It almost always does in the Big Brother House.)
Finally, isn’t Clay nice to look at? Unfortunately, it appears that he is dumb as a rock but oh well… 🙂
Veto ceremony may be held today and it should be a dramatic one. And, tonight, we have a new episode of Big Brother — which will be good because there’s a lot that’s gone on that I still need to get caught up on. Hopefully, tonight’s episode will feature some footage of Stephen hiding in a trash can and trying to get information. Ever since I heard that this may have happened before the feeds went live, I have been eagerly waiting for confirmation.
Enjoy the show!
