Thanks for including those links in the OP. So handy and useful!

The social strategy in this season because a lot of people know each other is great. I always say whoever is playing the best social strategy game is the best player of the season and a season like this can be great.

Pretty much every group except Kaysar/Janelle wants to pull Cody and Enzo into a 4 person alliance. Janelle has a blind spot for Enzo. Enzo hates Kaysar though because he was talking game to Janelle and Kaysar pulled Janelle out of the room and made it obvious he doesn't want her to talk game with Enzo. Enzo picked up on it right away.

I believe for Cody at least his real main alliance is a F2 with Tyler or his F2 with Nicole but I'm not quite sure of those yet. For some reason he tells the most information to Dani. His main 4 person alliance is with Enzo/Nicole F/Dani. He told Dani that Day and Bay want to pull in Enzo/Cody. They realize they need to make a 6 with another group of 2 (Bay/Day or Tyler/Memphis) but in every other group of 2 there is at least 1 person who doesn't like someone else who would be in their 6 outside of the game. Memphis will not want to join them especially if they evict Keesha.

Memphis is probably more loyal to Janelle/Kaysar but I can see him changing gears if one of them goes home after Keesha if she goes this week.

Dani also had a good idea for Cody/Enzo. She knows all the girls are afraid of an all guys alliance so she told them both to be publicly seen with a different guy so if a girl decides to put up 2 guys it'll be a Cody/David or something instead of Cody/Enzo. I feel like this is an obvious idea but no one really does it.

The Dani/Nicole/Janelle triangle is interesting. Dani/Nicole are besties. Janelle hates Nicole. Nicole hates Janelle. Janelle is invited to Nicole's future wedding so I'm not sure what's going on. Janelle trusts Dani. Dani wants Janelle out. Brent from RHAP said Dani and Janelle had a pregame alliance but Dani realized Janelle did the most pregaming so that's why Dani doesn't trust her. It makes sense to me but it's Brent so take it with a grain of salt.

Ian and Nicole F just made a final 2. Not sure if it's real on either side yet though. Ian initiated it. I think he is being genuine wanting to work with her. He said because he hung out wih her in real life a few times he feels closest to her. But you can never tell with Nicole F. I mean after they made the deal she says she doesn't feel safe and wants to win Hoh next week. She may be being genuine but she should realize that the obvious targets are Cody/tyler or Kaysar/Janelle depending on which side wins hoh.

She also cried and told people she was nervous Cody would put her up his week. Obviously no one bought it and now a lot of people don’t trust her even more so.

I would also say there's a non zero chance Ian goes home this week. I think a lot of things have to happen for him to go home but it's not impossible.

I'm surprised you say that. I hope your right but i was thinking he is a likely replacement nominee if Keesha or kevin get off. Like especially if Keesha got off he may change his mind and hit a big target that he has talked zero game with. Dani pushes Ian is dangerous as well. It may change now as Nicole may want to save Ian even more as she sees Ian is on her side.

Replace nom could be Nicole A i guess and Cody would tell her she's a pawn and not in danger.

I think he is a likely replacement nominee. However Nicole F would try to stop Cody from doing it. Dani and Cody also said they might want to work with him (they mentioned about
8 possible people to work with so this doesn't mean much) so it's possible Cody wouldn't nom him. I also think he would stay against either of the initial noms as of right now so the vote would also have to flip.

There is also so much going on so quickly and on both feeds at the same time so I could just be completely wrong about anything I say this early in the game.

Kaysar just isn't cut out for this game. He just has an us 4 against the world mentality and is focusing all his attention on the 4 he already has instead of trying to build numbers. Yesterday he did an ok job with Nicole A but since then it's just his 4.

Cody probably gives Dani the most info because she is giving him the most info. She seems like she's 100 percent with Cody even though Janelle and many others on the other side want to work with her.

"Word on the street" is Dani knows Janelle and Bay have a pregame alliance and that's why she doesn't trust them.

Kaysar is the worst. He is in extreme paranoia territory and he's safe! He doesn't realize how good of a spot Memphis is in and why Memphis is so nonchalant. His paranoia is going to screw up Memphis's game if Memphis believes anything Kaysar says. Kaysar is telling Janelle about a girls alliance, a guys alliance and a big alliance which all don't exist.

One thing I'm really happy about this season is the very low chances of having a showmance screw up people's games. I guess there are a few possibilities, but since most of the cast is either married, in a committed relationship, or already know each other I really don't see it happening.

Ian being slick not giving anything to Cody. They're both acting like they may want to work with each other then Cody said who do you like? Ian says David. Says he really likes him. I might have missed it but i think Ian has talked zero game with David. So i think Ian keeping people he intends to work with close to the vest and throwing out a random person that he knows Cody likes. Then he said Enzo's a nice guy too. So i think he's trying to make Cody feel relaxed that he's not after Cody's team. But without exposing he has something with Nicole f.

Now Cody lying to Ian about how he feels about Nicole F. Ian asked him and Cody played it off that even though they played together he betrayed her and has no relationship with her. I think Ian will see that this is B.S.

Remember when people used to argue with a straight face that my brother Cody wasnt a moron.

Janelle suggested to Kaysar we should try to team with Cody and Tyler. But they already know that group is more than just Cody and Tyler, so i don't know why they think this would work?

Kaysar says but i feel bad for Ian, Nicole A, and Kevin if we do join Cody and Tyler. Well why not grab those people for your team as it is obvious it's more possible to work with them rather then Cody and Tyler. That you already correctly suspect have a bigger group? Kevin's on the block so very likely he's desperate for a group. Ian was upset he lost the veto, as they said he kept cursing when he kept messing up. So looks like he doesn't feel comfortable in the house right now. And Nicole A seemed receptive to game talk with you already. So why not grab people that need someone? As opposed to 2 guys you suspect already have an alliance that don't need you and may play you?

Would be especially cool to see Ian and Kaysar allign. As it's been really touching listening to them bond over autism the last few days. Kaysar seems like a really good human being. Obviously Ian as well. But they have not talked game yet. I think Ian waiting unti noms are set. Ian, Kaysar, Kevin, Nicole A, Janelle, and David would be a cool team. They're all free agents and need each other right now. I hope they realize it and form.

I think it's a good sign that Kaysar is at least entertaining the idea of working with Cody/Tyler. Even though they don't trust him he at least doesn't have tunnel vision anymore and if things fall right Cody/Tyler would eventually work with them. J/K need people on the in. The thing is they actually wouldn't mind working with Janelle.

Cody was talking to the cameras alone last night and says he doesn't really trust Tyler because Tyler just yesses him to death and doesn't really give him any information. I think this will eventually change but I could be wrong.

Janelle/Kaysar currently want to target David so they can get closer to Tyler/Cody. Cody I guess has done a good job of making people think he's close to David so if he does get targeted he may get put up with David and have the votes.

Memphis wants to start a 6 person alliance with Cody Tyler Christmas Bayleigh and Dani. This would be thefirst alliance that Enzo isn't in and I find it odd because I would've thought Memphis would be close to Enzo but I guess not.

I agree they should talk to Cody about working together but with the understanding that Cody being 1st hoh is probably having these talks with everyone. So don't put all your eggs in Cody's basket. The way Kaysar and Janelle were talking seemed was switching the tunnel vision from going after Cody, to tunnel vision working with Cody. Saying Kevin, Ian, Nicole could be pawns. Instead of thinking of working with them and actually having a better chance of trusting them as well. Since they are less likley compromised giving their trust to anyone else. Where Cody more likely to have other loyalties.

I think things will change after noms are set. Ian will have more game talks with Kevin and Nicole. Maybe with Kaysar/janelle but a harder get/possibility on both sides. Ian might be apprehensive of playing with Kaysar knowing Kaysar's history of questionable gameplay. And Kaysar and Janelle apprehensive of Ian thinking he's sneaky, cannot be trusted, since he pretended to work with Boogie's team in his year.

I agree with you if that's their plan and they're sticking to it it's not ideal. I just think they were basically going through scenarios and that's one of them. It's week one so things people say a lot of the time are just ideas and not set in stone. I do the same thing though where I hear something and think that's people's for sure plan even though everything right now is fluid. Every time someone mentions a new alliance I'm way too quick to think it's how people really want the game to play out but when I step back I realize it's just an option as of right now. I think after we see who wins HOH next week we'll have a lot more information on where people's true allegiances are. The only real way to know is when people talk alone to the camera but even that is just how people feel on day 4 so that is always subject to change as well.

Yeah. Agree with all of that.

I have begun the feeds experience. All the boring normies are talking about the Spice Girls while Kaysar is gaming his face off at Tyler

There must be people all over the house and feeds are watching Crispy eat peanuts

Yeah boring right now. But after next hoh i can see it getting good. Especially if Janelle or Kaysar win HOH. As Nicole F. will start freaking out thinking she's going home. She said she 100 percent thinks Janelle is gunning for her.

Nicole F. just told Tyler that Janelle, and one other person from the outside, are the one's that started the rumors she cried to production to get on the show after Paul called her asking her if she was invited as well. She didn't address the rumor on her ratting out Derrick and Dan pregaming i don't think.

But i see this getting back to Janelle at some point that Nicole is talking stuff about her and we might get ignition to this season's drama.

Also Nicole F. has a beef with Nicole A.'s podcast partner/close friend who talks bigtime shi* about her. She mentioned it to Nicole A and Nicole A. claimed she didn't know that. Then later away from Nicole F. Nicole A said i can't beleive she would bring that up.

If one person plays the safety suite don’t they automatically win it by default? If so why did Kaysar and janelle both play if his plan was to save her as his plus one. They pointlessly wasted her Vip

I said that when it happened. Apparently Janelle asked production what happens if they get timed out and she misinterpreted what they said. She thought they said no one wins but Kaysar corrected her and said there would've been a tiebreaker. Either way she made a horrible error.

She was talking about the rumors to crispy and then feeds cut
