Nick said last week that he didnt want to win this week.
I think Nicole has a crush on him

Christie won diamond POV. Good for next 4 weeks.

Maybe she just doesnt know what live feeds are. But props to Sis for openly talking about how she got railed by Jack. She said “im just living life”

She knows what live feeds are more than anyone except cliff. Everyone hates on her game play (myself included at times since I hate everyone) but what do people expect her to do when 2 of her closest allies won the first 2 hohs. She wasn’t in the majority alliance of 6 when it formed but she made her way into the 8 and the real 6. She has a meat shield in front of her. She also realizes she would be targeted alongside jack before Christie and jack so she’s actively trying to make people realize jacks number 1 ally is really Christie. I don’t think she’s an amazing player or anything but I see more potential in her than most others. If Jackson/holly/kat and Christie/tommy didn’t have pregame alliances I would say analyse would have the best chance of winning the season.

Jackson & Holly plus Sis are not Christie fans.

That’s not really true. If they had their ideal final 6 Christie would be in it. They all trust her 100% just think she talks too much which she does.

Nicole is dead in the water.

Their ideal final 6 ... final six is in like two months.

Well to say someone is not a fan of someone who they’d want to get as far as possible with is an absurd statement without context.

Looking for seeds of the alliance breaking up. Or the division within the six for when they have to turn on each other is worthwhile to observe
What they want now is not necessarily what they’ll want a week from now

I thought Nicole made a good move last week, throwing Nick right under the bus to Holly. Unlucky nick HoH

Speaking of that HoH. Wtf were the aerodynamics of those arrows? Was it like a badminton birdie

Yeah she played it well last week. Nicole would've been in as good a spot as she could've been if Nick/Bella didn't win that HOH or if she just didn't tell Bella everything and laid low. She'll still be in an ok spot if the votes stay as planned but not nearly as good.

It makes no sense that the 6 shooters are ostracizing her and not telling her they're going to keep her. Their logic is they're afraid she'll tell Nick which is moronic. Especially since they all believe basically every word she said over Bella.

She made 1 huge mistake in choosing Nick/Bella's side when they won HOH and telling Bella everything. Trusting Bella after knowing everything Bella has done is an unforgivable mistake. She also still doesn't know the house dynamics. That being said she's still one of the better strategic players this season (not saying much) but her social game isn't good at all IMO.

I shouldn't have even said her social game isn't good. Her social game was actually ok because everyone looked at her like their socially awkward little sister. Her reads on the social dynamics are what's not good. I don't know if that's considered part of the social game.

Apparently Christie doesn't automatically have the diamond POV. She gets to change a regular POV into a diamond POV so whoever wins the POV will get the diamond POV when her power is used. If they're smart (they aren't) they should use Jack's power and Christie's power the same week if someone not in 6 shooters wins HOH. Jack's power goes way up in value due to the terms of Christie's power.

Nicole literally hasn't campaigned in the last 2 days. The only 1 on 1s I've seen her have are with the 4 people in the house that are in camp comeback or on the block against her. I didn't watch the few days before that but I know she doesn't know she's staying. Every time I give one of these people a little credit and try to find a reason to root for someone they make me eat my words.

Tommy is still number 1 by default but he wants to win HOH and put Nick and Bella on the block and tell them he's backdooring Sam to "bring the 8 back together" like Nick/Bella will just jump back with them after he nominates them.

You know, I’d probably smash Nicole. She’s never had it as good as I can give it. I’d blow her mind. Anyhow, these alliances every year are really annoying. I mean, you can play the game well but you will only go as far as your luck in picking an early team which can be difficult; you don’t have enough information about the players to know who you want to ride with. I sort of like the British version of the show where the players are not allowed to talk strategy at all.

They neeeed to do an allstar season to cleanse the pallet after this

they need to get rid of Allison Grodner and Robin Kass

start fresh

Yup might need be cancelled / picked up by someone else for changes tho.

I wish they didn't follow the same formula way every week.

For example

In the POV episode if more interesting stuff happens after the POV do the POV ceremony earlier in the episode. It doesn't need to end with POV ceremony just b/c it always has.

Doesn't Kass choose the cast for BB Canada? I don't really watch it but I remember reading she does and the cast is always a lot better because they don't restrict her like CBS does so it's not really her fault. CBS has the final say and they cast more for showmances and to cater to casual fans rather than game players. I could be remembering what I read incorrectly though.

Let’s goo
I hope they didnt ruin the blindside

I don't think they did because Bella/Sam still voted against Nicole but Nick's body language on the couch the whole show seemed off to me so I was worried also.

Also, I really am optimistic about the rest of the season. I could just have blinders on though. Michie/Holly vs Tommy/Christie should be fun. Both sides are working discreetly behind the scenes to gather everyone not in the 6 to go to war with each other. It'll be interesting to see where everyone lands. I don't think the 6 will battle until they have to but when other people get power it should be fun. To be fair I don't think we've lost anyone too crucial and although everyone is playing poorly at least almost everyone is playing hard.

Btw one of the reasons Christie was gunning for Cliff is because she said he'd kill it in a comp like this in double eviction so she wanted him out before it. She will probably mention it to everyone individually on the feeds so 10-11 times.

I think she said a tactile puzzle but she will certainly take credit.

I think she sort of wanted her storyline of discovering Cliff Notes to culminate in eviction. But it ended up being just strong strategic play. Six Shooters deserve credit.
Cliff coming right back is my favorite outcome

Yeah now that you said it you're right. She did say the double eviction puzzle because he's an engineer but as you said she'll still say she knew it.
