48 Laws of Power – Page 8 – A Piece, of the Sky

I love Braleigh; they are the most fun and flirty showmance, of the season. And their attraction doesn’t hurt their game, although the question can be asked, as to where Hay’s game is. What game? Her game is out to lunch. On break.

I am glad I called it, on Scottie returning. He is Foutte’s Call for Fire. He became a HOH, won the POV, during his own HOH week, and evicted Winston. Scottie just had to have an unrequited crush on Hay, torpedo his game.

Fessy doesn’t care about the game. All he could see was Hay. As I said before, his behavior was utterly tragic. He basically gave up, during his last week in the house.

Of course, Fessy would be jealous and vicious and not warn Scottie against re-initiating #Scyler. Scottie is going back into the house, where Hay is, and Brett is still in the house, too. Dejected Fessy gives way to scornful, petty and bitter Fessy.

I and Hay both, are simply relieved that Fessy left, and Scottie came back, instead of Fessy. I hope Faleigh is over for good and doesn’t resume after the show.

Now, Scottie is in huge trouble. He has returned to the house, but he may be kicked right back out again. Tyler, in his second HOH reign, is logically targeting Hay and Scottie, for the block.

Did you know, that, in the beginning, Scottie wanted to be Tyler’s friend, but Tyler shunned him and gave him the cold shoulder, rejecting Scottie, for the cool kids club, of Level 6? Scottie got sidelined, dumped on the island of misfit toys, along with Steve. That should give you an idea about the prospects of Scyler. For Scottie, Tyler’s heart is ice-cold.

Scottie may come bearing gifts, but of the two, Hay is more likely to put up Sam and one member of Level 6, while Scottie, if so inclined and sufficiently enraged, would put up two members, or allies, of Level 6: Kaycee and Angela, Tyler and Angela, Brett and Tyler, Kaycee and JC – you never know.

#Tangela makes even Tyler and Level 6 fans barf. If Tyler and Angela link up, after the game, fine. But win the game first, like Rob and Andrea, in Survivor, and then get married, and ride off, happily ever after, into the sunset.

Tyler is being confused by his heart. Yes, JC has been flailing, since losing Fessy, as a host. However, JC is not blinded by a love for Angela – even if his unrequited love for Tyler might be tripping JC up. JC is pushing Tyler to go after Kaycee and Angela.

JC’s full plan is the Middle Path for himself to stay and win the game, without even Fessy, Brett or Tyler. JC must get Tyler or Brett to take out Angela or Kaycee, for JC. He’s not going to be on the bottom of Level 6.

JC is not even in Level 6, but he’s not going to go first. JC is going to end this Tangela #Cringe and get back on track. JC can still win the whole game. He’s still in my Final Five.

JC must also maneuver to keep Hay, over Sam, so that he can use Hay, to go after Sam – if she’s still there, when Hay stays – and target Brett, Tyler, Angela and Kaycee. Scottie has seen through JC and is too devoted to Tyler.

JC can’t use Scottie anymore, so Scottie has to go, instead of Hay. JC re-evict Scottie and use Hay and Tyler to mop up Level 6, before eliminating Hay and finally being the one to evict Tyler!

Last week, I said Angela should make a big move, and put up Brett and Tyler, instead of Hay and Fessy. Start the Level 6 civil war! There’s no avoiding it. This schism is going to happen anyway, whether Level 6 likes it or not.

This week, I am being fair, to the other side of Tangela: Tyler’s big move would be to put up Angela and Kaycee, and watch Angela go home, while his Final Two with Kaycee, remains intact.

Wipe out the competition now, when no one expects it. Level 6 just waiting, for all of Foutte to exit the house, isn’t going to cut it anymore! Fire the first shot! Enliven the feeds!

OMG, I finally understand Sam.

I was disappointed with Sam, playing with her heart, with the whole Brett-thing. However, similar to JC, Sam can also make good decisions, for game reasons and for personal reasons.

Sam has not reneged on her desire to see Tyler gone. She is still playing a strategic game. In fact, she thought Tyler was going home this week. I mean, Fessy is HOH; this is what was supposed to happen this week.

Sam is the key. Once Foutte is mopped up, the next one on the fodder roster is JC. The only way JC can maneuver to protect himself is through Sam.

Sam is the wedge that can safely go after other members of Level 6, like Brett, getting them out, before JC – because she is an independent, just like JC.

Without Queen Sam, there is no King JC. Sam’s whole spiel about her ‘person,’ is really just code for ‘Final Two,’ since the personal and the game are very much entwined for Sam – but not always to her detriment.

Sam and JC are the only people who can take out, fellow independent, Tyler.

Tyler is no longer Sam’s ‘person.’ He is no longer her Final Two. Hence, her search for a new Final Two, in Rockstar and Brett. However, Sam doesn’t even need people, like Brett, to make it to the Final Five. She is back in my Final Five – Sam, JC, Kaycee, Angela and Scottie.

Where does this leave Scottie? Sam may very well replace Scottie in my Final Four, because Brett has won the veto, and Scott doesn’t have a prayer. He doesn’t have an ice cube’s chance in hell – unless Fessy buys Sam’s pitch…

Sam needs to really play up how Hammock Brett is going to get Hay. She needs to make a dual pitch with Scottie, in which Scottie moves up his eviction speech revelation, that Hay had a Final Two, with Scottie.

Sam and Scottie need to make Fessy feel the threat of Brett getting his woman and/or that Hay has been unfaithful. Fessy needs to feel so enraged and jealous that he replaces Brett with Hay. This is the only way to save Scottie.

However, if Scottie does go home, I can understand. As I said, in my last dispatch, Scottie cannot escape that vote against Swaggy – just like Bay couldn’t get out from under telling Rachel about her power app.

When I saw Scottie fraternizing with Level 6, after Bay’s HOH, I internally felt very disappointed. Foutte has been horrible to Scottie. But games (BB, Survivor) and real life never reward traitors. Level 6 pretended to accept Scottie, but they knew that if he could turn on his original alliance – twice, since he voted Swaggy out, earlier – he couldn’t be trusted to hang with them.

Like Bay, trying to join Level 6, the best Scottie could ever manage was the very bottom of Level 6, the best that a boot-licker could deserve.

I felt better when Scottie decided to go independent. Yet, the game is at such an advanced stage, and there are so few people, that there is no more time or room for a new independent alliance. Scottie was squeezed out. He had a great HOH reign, and then he was diverted by a futile crush on Hay – that will be his destruction, if he can’t get Hay up on the block, in his place.

SO, Sam’s plan is strategically sound. But she is talking to Fessy here. Regardless of Hay’s intentions, RS still went home, during Hay’s HOH (#48LawsOfPower: See what people do, not what they say). Unlike Hay, Fessy is actually hellbent on sending Scottie home, for personal reasons. Let’s see if strategically un-sound Foutte will, once again, damage itself critically.

Regardless of what happens to Scottie, Sam will be here and present for the endgame. Stop protecting that stupid pinky promise with Tyler, Sam. Expose his power app and declare war. The battle for Level 6’s union is at hand.
