I mentioned in my last post that every season of Big Brother seems to have a mid to late season lull where everything gets a little boring and there isn't much to say about what it going on. With a third of this latest episode focusing on a challenge that consisted of people just running back and forth on a slippery mat, it has pretty much been confirmed that we are in that lull. The bigger problem being that this cast hasn't been all that fun or interesting in the first place, so the mid season lull is really going to take its toll this year. So, I make a few quick points and then jump right to this weeks rankings...
-- I don't think there is one housemate this season that gets the concept of subtlety. Kalia, don't run to Jeff and say I know you're going to want to put me on the block but what about Rachel. Instead drop comments and thoughts about Rachel's play outside the context of saving your ass. Nobody likes people who blatantly kiss ass, at least pretend a little. This has been a major flaw in everyone's game this season. There are ways to get people to do what you want without letting them know that is what you are doing. Just coming out and telling them to backstab someone else is a sure fire way to get booted off the show.
-- I hate the "no hard feelings" add on to every nominations ceremony. You may not have hard feelings, but you just put my ass up on the block to get kicked off the show, so I have hard feelings. It's easy not to have hard feelings when you have no chance of being kicked off this week. I just feel like that comment is pouring salt in the wound. It would piss me off more then just being put on the block.
8) Porsche - once again, she hasn't won anything, like Jeff pointed out, she hasn't played the game at all, and she has floated back and forth between sides. Now, she's up on the block. I have a feeling that Kalia is going home this week, but the writing is on the wall, Porsche will not win.
7) Kalia - she is the most likely person to go home this week. She just has no game what so ever.
6) Rachel - she is in a strong alliance and may get carried to the end, if for no other reason then everyone knows she won't win, but my rankings are supposed to be who has the best shot at winning and I just can't see people voting for her to win.
5) Adam - it seems like every year someone who doesn't deserve to be in the game makes it to the end. I bumped Adam up the ranking a bit this week because I have a feeling he might be that person this season. He's put himself in a position where he isn't a threat and he's a vote in your pocket, so he just may be carried into a position where he only needs to pull out an upset to make the final two or three.
4) Daniele - there is a small chance that she gets backdoored this week, but the longer she stays in the game the more dangerous she will be.
3) Jeff - I still don't get why he isn't the number one target in the house. Everyone just seems to bow to him. If Daniele stays this week and wins HOH next week she has to put him up, deal or no deal, right? At the same time, he has so many people on his side that it's hard not to think he's a favorite.
2) Shelly - she some how survived last week without looking as bad to the housemates as she did to those of us watching. She still has a strong alliance with those in power and if that alliance wins the next few HOH's, last weeks problems will blow over and she will be in a good spot to win. Only problem is she can't seem to win anything.
1) Jordan - does anyone even realize that she's in the house? She seems to be in prime position to glide through her second season of Big Brother with a win
