After a long absence, the blog is back! If you're wondering what happened, two of our members were busy uprooting their lives, while all of the members were busy hating this season. However, things have settled down, and the season is once again entertaining, so here's what you've all been waiting for!
1. Andy
A lot of fans have expressed very negative opinions of Andy and his game. The words rat and floater have been thrown around a lot. Here's the thing, being good at Big Brother isn't about being a competitions warrior, or a loyal ally, it's about doing what the situation calls for. Andy has done an incredible job maneuvering his way through the game and keeping the target off of his back. He was the most valuable member of 3 AM, and now that being associated with them is a liability, he's moved on. Like his strategy or not, he is playing the smartest game.
2. Judd
Judd left the house with no allies, and came back in with no enemies. Lines were drawn in the sand while he was gone, new enemies were created, and now J U double D gets to come back in after the fact, with clean hands and no targets on his back. Missing two weeks may have been the best thing that could happen to his game. Will the other HGs let a returning player win the game? Well I don't see Topaz around, so I guess we'll have to wait and see.
3. GinaMarie
Do I think GM can win the game? No, but I wouldn't put anything past these houseguests. Watching GM go after Amanda was difficult, I don't want to cheer for GM, but this week was entertaining because of her. Taking out Amanda would give GM a lot of points with the jury, and it would show something we haven't seen so far... that she understands she's playing big brother. Her last HoH was wasted on somebody who had no allies in the house, she didn't take out a big target, and she didn't create any allies for herself. This time around she seems much more conscious of the game she's playing, and even though she probably isn't, the jury doesn't need to know that.
4. Spencer.
Spencer is playing an absolutely incredible second place game right now. Nobody wants to evict him, as shown by his ability to survive 6 nominations, but at the same time, what jury member is going to vote for the guy who won nothing, and made no major moves? If the bearded wonder wants to do any better than runner up, he needs to either start making moves, or hope for a bitter jury vote like last season. But hey, maybe second place doesn't look so bad right now.
5. Elissa
While Elissa may have moved up my personal likable rankings after how she's handled being berated by Amanda this week, it hasn't really resulted in a better position for her in the house. When Helen left, Elissa lost her only true ally, and she has yet to find a true replacement for her. On one side of the house, you have McCranda, and the other, you have the Exterminators. Then, right in the middle, you have Elissa. This could work in her favour as she could be an attractive free agent to any alliance, or it could result in her being the only person in the house everyone agrees to get out next week. I'm leaning towards the latter.
6. McCrae
I feel like McCrae deserves better then what's happened to him this season. Don't get me wrong, it's his own fault he is where he is, he knew Amanda was dragging them down, and he stuck with her. However, McCrae has stuck with her through everything, and stayed above all the bullying through all of it. There's something admirable about that. If Amanda leaves this week, McCrae has a very important opportunity to reinvent his game. If Amanda gets vetoed, it's game over.
7. Amanda
I would be genuinely interested to see a psychological analysis of what happened to Amanda this year. I'm not convinced she was crazy the whole time. I feel like the isolation, the pressure, and the power drove her mad. At the beginning of the season she seemed like somebody who had her head on straight, but lately, she's been so caught up in her self righteous crusade that she's become unbearable. Some of the logical conclusions she's come too while fighting with Elissa have been unbelievable. She can't see beyond her own cause and it's turned everyone against her. On the one hand, I feel bad for her because this experience has clearly messed her up psychologically. On the other hand, I can't wait to see this psycho go down.
