You know that the people who cast Big Brother are looking for the most emotionally unstable contestants they can find. It's the only way I can explain the unnatural mood swings that occur in the house. If you've watched enough seasons of the show, which almost all the contestants claim to do, logic tells you never get to confident or depressed because things will change but where would the good TV be in a bunch of even keeled people?
When Daniele won the HOH (Head Of Household) you would have thought there was a death in the house. It seemed as if the Vets and their lap dogs didn't even think of the possibility one of them wouldn't win the competition. Which is absurd. Nobody in the history of Big Brother has had an alliance win every HOH. At some point someone else was going to win and one of the Vets was going to be sent home. Daniele can only put two people of the block. At this point in the game the odds are in your favor. Why get worked up before the nominations are made? Shelly, Lawon and Porsche had to know that they were safe (even though I would have put up Porsche with Rachel just to let her know how annoying her lap do routine was) and if one of the other four goes home, they still have numbers. Why get upset? I mean, you don't act all happy, you don't want to celebrate someone else's demise, but the somber thing is just too much.
The same goes for Daniele. There is no reason for her to be celebrating that she's back in the game. She's far from back in the game. All she did was delay her exit and insure that she will leave with a little blood on her hands. Her deal with Jeff is a solid move, but if Jeff and Jordan throw the next HOH so one of the other three people in their alliance wins the deal is no good and Daniele goes home. Each week in the Big Brother house is a new game and to let your emotions and confidence swing to much either way is just folly.
I still don't know that Daniele and Kalia realize how much Shelly, and Adam to a lesser extent, are as much lap dogs to the Vets as Porsche is. Their comments seem to suggest they still trust those two, which is either a credit to the lap dogs game play or a discredit to the two ladies. As a viewer, and as Dom tried to point out on his way out the door, is extremely off putting. I hate lap dogs almost as much as Rachel hates floaters. I don't understand the strategy at all. It seems to say, I can't win so I'll just do what these people say and hope to stay around as long as I can. Both Shelly and Adam would stand a better chance of winning if they teamed with Daniele and Kalia. Daniele needs to sell them on this idea. But I fear she doesn't realize how much in the other camp they are and won't feel it's necessary.
Since we are down to the final 10, I'll end this weeks post with a ranking of the contestants from worst chance of winning to best...
10) Porsche - I forgot Rachel's slightly smarter twin was in the house. She has zero chance of winning.
9) Rachel - She's too emotional and too hated to make it all the way.
8) Adam - He can't win competitions and acts like a lap dog.
7) Brendon - pretty much the same reasons as Rachel except he's a little more liked.
6) Daniele - She might be able to pull something out of her ass, but as it stands now she's in trouble.
5) Kalia - She's gone right after Daniele.
4) Lawon - I have no reading on this guy. They haven't shown anything to let us know where he stands in the game.
3) Shelly - She won't be going anywhere in the next couple of weeks and she may be smart enough to switch sides in time to save herself.
2) Jeff - He can win competitions, he keeps a level head with his game play, people in the house like him, he has the numbers in his favor.
1) Jordan - all the same reasons as Jeff except people like her a bit more and perceive her as less of a threat.
