Game thoughts - I think the game has been a cheap version of Big Brother 16 so far; No one is really making any waves. There is this huge alliance- the same people winning HOHs. When someone outside of the alliance wins an HOH, they target another outcast which just helps the alliance even more. It's annoying, it's boring, it's expectable. I almost want to blame the twist and say it flopped because instead of making some divisions, it made a love fest- but that's probably not the case. The people that have been protected throughout the game were the ones that played since the start, they have stayed comfortable and not really doing much else but staying in the alliance. And the once that started playing the game a little later are thinking they are in with members of the big alliance that they are not really in with, it's sad.
Individual thoughts. Alex - is a competitor, I get it. I don't fault him for wanting to win as many competitions as he can because that is how I am in a way. BUT I do fault him for being aligned with literally everyone! When you are aligned with the entire house, YOU DO NOT WIN COMPETITIONS, let other people do your dirty work. Alex wants to wait until the final 8 to make a move on the "Great Minds" alliance which is probably the dumbest thing I have heard. What happens if John/Mimi/Pete/Donald win the final 8 HOH? The funniest time is that John and Mimi are pretty suspicious of Alex. Now Alex knows that John has been going behind their backs to Stephen and Carley trying to make something... So are you really going to let him strike first? Maybe he is too cocky on his abilities to win competitions but John is just as capable so let's see. And Alex talked so much about loving sides which I was looking forward to final 8 being 4 vs 4 but he is trying to make it 6 vs 2(John/Pete) so it's a bit contradicting but funny because I think Mimi would take Johns side.
Paula - She is sort of tied in the same category of Alex so I'll go to her next. I love Paula as a person but as a game player, COME ON PAULA! You are aligned with everyone in the house, WHY ARE YOU WINNING HOHS? You're literally the safest person if anyone was to win an HOH but you keep winning and targeting the people who would help you take out the people you may not want to take out yourself... Mimi is someone who has been concerned about Paula a bit because "everyone loves Paula" so Paula should think about the bigger picture a little more instead of just going for the people in the outs. Paula and Mimi are each other's biggest threats because they are each loved by everyone so they are both filling in one role. Mimi is aware of the fact but it seems like Paula isn't. Like Alex, I think Paula should chill on trying to win competitions, they are literally doing unnecessary work. Meanwhile John and Mimi are throwing competitions left and right because they don't need to win any now. Which is why John and Mimi will always be the better game player in my eyes. Paula getting rid of Clayton was a BAD BAD BAD move. Every time Paula wins a competition, more people question her decisions and loyalty which is exactly why she should have been throwing more of them.
Mimi - Although she is part of the big alliance and contributing to the love fest and boring/expected season, she's playing a smarter game than some of her fellow alliance members. In my opinion, she's playing absolutely the best game right now. Mimi hands down is the biggest threat or contender to win right now. Everyone loves her, she can win competition. She has not let that alliance make her feel comfortable in the game and still made effort to have social relationship with people outside of the alliance like Jake, Clayton and MaryBeth. Now the difference is that Mimi isn't winning all these HOHs so she doesn't have to show her cards. Can see her winning.
John - Is on the same boat as Mimi. Can't help it but being probably my favorite player right now because he knows how fucking boring the game is and actually is tired of it himself. John has also thrown HOHs left to right, as he should have because no one is coming for him. However, I think his mistake was approaching Stephen and Carley for an alliance, not knowing they already have any alliance with Alex and Paula . I can't wait until the final 8 and see what happens, I'm #TeamJohn tho.
Clayton - His horrible start of the game is catching up to him now, he felt like he didn't to win any competitions because no one was after him. WRONG. Clayton, when you read this - when it's final 10 and you don't even have one alliance chat, SCRAMBLE BOY CUZ YOU IN DANGER! His best relationship has been with Mimi because everyone else literally throws him under the bus when he talks to them. I don't think there was much he could've done this late in the game but to win an HOH and create cracks within the alliances. He could've won the HOH this week but failed to, almost won the veto but failed too- it'd take a miracle for him to survive tonight.
Donald - As much as he rubs people off the wrong way, his biggest plus is that no one finds him threatening. I can see him getting very far in the game. His biggest weakness isn't his mouth any longer, it's how fucking blindly loyal he is to Alex and Mimi, who literally talk about how annoyed they are by him all the time. The person he should really be that loyal to is Pete but he doesn't trust him 100%. THIS IS THE PROBLEM THIS SEASON, WHY ARE PEOPLE TRUSTING THE WRONG PEOPLE.
Pete - Kind man but I don't see him getting too far in this game. He is loyal to his alliance that isn't so loyal to him. NOT ONE in that alliance is saying "Yesss Pete to the end". I think his closest ally is Donald which is the smartest thing but Donald is too busy out with the cool kids that would drop him in a heartbeat. Pete needs to start reaching out to Stephen and Carley but stop being fake because they see through it!!!
MaryBeth - I think she has absolutely played the worst game this season. I love her as a person and I root for her as the underdog she is, but she's making the ultimate underdog mistake - TRUSTING THE WRONG PEOPLE AND MAKING WRONG MOVES. For some reason, Alex and Paula are her #1s.. Why? It doesn't take much to realize that Alex and Paula are pretty much good with everyone. MaryBeth has been lucky yet unlucky- she doesn't realize in how much trouble she is. She's been lucky that there's people not willing to nominate her themselves, but she's been so close to going up every week! I hope she wins the final 9 HOH, they all would be shook- I don't think she would though.
Stephen - Why hasn't this kid won an HOH yet? HE IS READY. He wants to fuck shit up and doesn't give a flying fuck, but he can't pull out a competition win. That alliance of 6 better be aware because if Stephen wins an HOH, they are fucked - well not like he has any options now since its literally the 6 plus him/Carley/MB. I don't think Stephen has a good chance at winning, he doesn't have the social relationships. He has stayed really comfortable with the RiffRaffs which I think all 4 of them are loyal but I wouldn't have been okay with a pawn during my ally's HOH.
Carley - I think her and Stephen are on similar boats. Not enough connections to even win the game, setting themselves up for a perfect 3rd or 2nd place if they are lucky enough to make the finals. I love Carley, she has so much potentials but not enough relationships. I'm rooting for her HOH but I don't think Pete is the right person for her to target because he would probably be the easiest to get out of the six, it's getting down to the needy greedy and time to make BIG MOVES and stop going after the weakest link.
Anyways after the rant- there's a lot of people that have their games sort of interconnected with one another.
Alex & Paula - John & Mimi ; Twos that are in similar positions where everyone loves them. Alex & Paula < John & Mimi
Clayton & MaryBeth ; Outcasts Clayton > MaryBeth
Stephen & Carley ; In the loop but pawns / not strong connections to win. Stephen < Carley
Donald & Pete - Outs of the six - similar Donald < Pete
