Big Brother 14: Let the Games Begin

     It always tough to figure out what the best strategy will be when a new twist is introduced to the game.  The presence of coaches really leaves a bunch of things in the air and it will be interesting to see how the players sort that stuff out.  The problem with how the coaches were established is that it seems to have created teams, yet there is nothing other then the fact that the coach picked them that makes them a team.  So, what is the best way to make alliances?  Is it best to keep the "team" together or are you better off making deals with other coach's players?  It had looked like Willie had decided to go with a combination, a pretty sly tactic, build votes with team alliances and protect yourself with out of team alliances, but then through it away with his HOH picks.  I'm sure he'll go to Frank with some sort of plea that Frank's not the target, that Willie expects him to win POV, all the stuff every HOH has said to at least one person on the block every nomination ceremony, but I think it was to early for this play.  If you're going to have an alliance with another player you need it to build a few weeks before you pull the "you're not the target" ploy.  If I was Willie, I would have put up Danielle and Kara and tried to put Dan one step closer to being sent home.  I'm not sure what pitting Dan and Boogie against each other accomplishes.
     As far as the coaches go, there seems to me only one real strategy, pick one of your players as the one you think can win and talk your other picks into protecting that player.  But the only coach who I think has that figured out is Boogie.  He's also probably the only coach who could pull the strategy off.  I think he's already decided that Frank is his boy and he is going to do everything to keep him in the game, even throw his other players under the bus.  Boogie's one down fall is that he is way to arrogant.  Let's not forget that he's only played this game with Dr. Will and basically rode Will's coat tails both times.  I'm interested to see how he functions without Dr. Will in the house.  That being said, I still think he's the most cold blooded of all the coaches and cold blooded wins Big Brother.
     It's to early to start my rankings, I think I'll wait until there are only ten left, but right now I'm liking Willie, JoJo, and Frank to win.  Danielle and Ian are my favorites at the moment, but I don't think either has a chance to make it to the end.  Oddly enough, there are no nominations yet for the Rachel Cup, the award I just invented that goes to the house member that most makes me want to shot myself in the face, but the season is still young!
