What annoys me most about Rachel isn't how dumb she is, or that god awful laugh, or even the fact that she needs to stop and stare at herself any time see passes a reflective surface. None of that compares to the fact she thinks she's a great Big Brother player (ok, it compares a little, all that other stuff makes me want to reach through the TV and strangle her as well). She doesn't think she's an adequate player, she doesn't think she's a good player, she thinks she is the best player to ever walk through the Big Brother doors and she couldn't be more wrong. I can't deny that she's really good in competitions because somehow she always wins, but when it comes to the social game and putting people on the block she's a moron. Let's not forget, she got evicted in the fifth week of her season. Having to sit and watch her talk about strategy is the most painful part of watching Big Brother. She is way to emotional about who she targets and has no skill reading people at all. I couldn't imagine actually being in the house and in an alliance with her. How do you convince someone who thinks they are the best player the game has ever seen that she has no idea what she's talking about.
Rachel's stance on Cassie is a perfect example. Although this isn't a totally misplaced target, the reasons behind it are totally off base. She called Cassie a "super floater." Rachel loves to yell and scream about how much she hates floaters but I don't think she has a clue what that means. Cassie is the furthest thing from a floater. She is totally entrenched with the newbies and has never lobbied the vets at all. A floater is someone who doesn't take sides. A great example of a floater would be Shelly. Shelly hangs out with the newbies but voted with the vets. It's unclear where she stands, it is very clear, on the other hand, what side Cassie is on. Rachel's problem is she is super catty and targets people based on this flaw. Cassie is a naturally beautiful, very intelligent women and this is threatening to an ugly idiot who needs plastic surgery to make herself feel worthy. Now, it just so happens that Cassie is one of the best players the newbies have, so voting her off wouldn't be the worst move the vets could make, but the reason for getting rid of her isn't because Rachel doesn't like her.
The vets put up Adam and Dom for eviction. I think it's the right move. Dom is by far the biggest threat to their alliance. I would say Cassie and him are probably the best players, but Dom is a much bigger threat in competitions. Unless the power of veto is used, I would imagine Dom will be sent home. That doesn't get Adam off the hook though. He may get this weeks award for the dumbest game play. When the vote came back 6-4 and Adam started to realize he was going to get blamed by the newbies for one of the votes, he should have run to the vets and taken credit for it. They don't know who voted which way! And he told them going into the vote that he was on board with them. They wouldn't have doubted him and he would have been protected long enough to make his own move. Now that he admitted he voted with the newbies his groveling comes off as insincere and puts him in serious jeopardy this week. You have to lie sometimes in Big Brother and this was the perfect time with for Adam.
The one thing Dom seems to have going for him, other then Adam's blunder, is Danielle. Being the spawn of Evel Dick, I would like to think that she's a better player then she appears at the moment. I'd like to think that she's playing Dom, stringing him along so she can work both sides, but she hasn't said so in a confessional yet and knowing her Big Brother past, she is susceptible to the showmance. It looks like she is going to lobby her alliance hard to keep Dom around and I want to think that she has a plan, but she may be letting Dom's looks get the best of her. If you're rooting for the vets, you better hope her pleas fall of deaf ears and Dom is set packing on Thursday.
