Battle Back – Page 3 – A Piece, of the Sky

JC’s move to tear #Tangela apart, with Brett x Angela, has backfired. Brett is now on to JC. He thinks JC is trying to break Level 6 up and steal Brett’s spot. Brett is now arguing, to Tyler, that they should target JC, instead.

JC is still safe – for now – since once Fessy is gone, Hay is the next big threat, and then Sam will probably go, before JC and Level 6.

I hope Sam can turn things around: she dumped Brett, and she seems to have gone back to Tyler. But Sam is obviously waiting for any chance to get out of her pinky promise alliance with Tyler. There is no way they can be in the end together: Tyler must take out Sam or Sam must take out Tyler.

My Final Five remains Sam, JC, Kaycee, Angela and Scottie – if he can win the battle back. I am not cheering for either side; my final five includes one Foutte member, two independents and two Level 6 members.

JC is the only one who manages to be a great strategist and great TV (fattening the HGs up). Brett is also good TV. In fact; Hammock Brett has struck again!

Fessy was being selfish, demanding that Hay spend all of this week with him, when Hay is going to stay in the house and have to continue playing the game.

Brett was there to comfort Hay, when insensitive Fessy struck out. Neither Brett or Hay is going to win, but Braleigh is a great, fun showmance.

Tangela is not a great, fun showmance. Tyler seems more into Angela, than Angela is into him. (People who like males, will say Tyler is too good for Angela and people who like females, will say Angela is too good for Tyler.)

Even Rob, Taran and Brent thought Tyler comparing the smell of Angela to a newborn baby, was weird. Angela, my Ice Queen, deserves better. Plus, she shouldn’t be rushed or forced into any TV relationship.

Tyler and Angela might have a chance – outside the game – while Faleigh won’t last beyond Finale Night, especially if Hay wants a future on later BB seasons. Most times, showmances are not the answer, Grodner!

Both Tyler and Angela could win the entire game. Tyler is the heartless vampire, and Angela is a frozen Ice Queen. I like them the way they are! Neither of them needs a fake showmance to “humanize” them.

You don’t need a showmance to win the game. And people who don’t like commitment, aren’t as in touch with their feelings, and put up walls, to protect themselves, do, most times, eventually find a spouse and have kids.

What makes us naive to a fault or remote and cold, makes us human. You don’t have to have a happily-ever-after in the show, just to have a compelling player. Some people are #AntiTwist; for the most part, I am #AntiShowmance.

The initial anger, surrounding the backdoor is wearing off, and sadness is beginning to set in. Thanks Bay. #7StagesOfGrief

It’s been fun. (Not.)

July 26th: “Last call for Swayleigh” (This was before Kaitlyn had even left the house.)

… a war has been raging among the dedicated disciples of Bay: those who claim to be the true acolytes and those who rightly recognize that they can love Bay and deeply dislike her strategy.

Bay couldn’t win HOH to save her life [She did win the HOH – but she completely changed her personality and her game, in the process. If she hadn’t won that HOH, would she still be going home on Thursday?].

A ‘power app’ means nothing, if you don’t…command respect. [Kaycee has won zero comps, zero power apps and zero HOHs – and she’s still living large.]

So many holes in Bay running after Level 6…

Tyler doesn’t like Bay. Week 1, he…considered putting Bay herself up on the block (that was the day when she went crying back to him, in the HOH room, after Swaggy tried to quietly tell her). My mind cannot compute why she would ever tell Tyler, of all people, about her secret power…

If Tyler – and JC, Sam and even, Kaycee and ~~Rachel~~ – are at the bottom of Level 6, Bay isn’t even in Level 6. They will use Bay as a number and then discard her.

…Only Rockstar has been 100% loyal to Swayleigh, yet Bay [was] determined to send RS home. [And then Bay wanted to send home Scottie; Scottie is now working for Level 4.]

– End Flashback –

Bay is going the way of Kaitlyn, and she wasn’t even as fantastically bad and as cool as Kaitlyn! I knew Bay shouldn’t have trusted Tyler; now, she too, has become Faust.

Sam was even trying to be nice to Bay and cheer her up – but Bay kept subtly kicking Sam’s game, in the teeth. And then there was all that yelling at RS. Poor Sam. Poor Rockstar.

Bay, why didn’t you 1) put Tyler and Brett up, when you were HOH? 2) keep your power app a secret from Rachel, Tyler, Angela and the rest of Level 6? 3) use your power this week? Five minutes after the Veto ceremony, Bay was packing – five minutes.

Lest we forget Angela, the Cowardly Lion, Richard III (played expertly by Sherlock‘s Benedict Cumberbatch) was a great villain and had scoliosis. The poor guy was ugly, but he stood by his positions; he died on that hill. If a platform is so strong, stand behind it.

Tyler has a track record: Kaitlyn, Rachel, Bay (soon), and later Angela. All of the HGs believe they are invincible; they never see their blindside coming.

Hope: I am hearing there will indeed be a double eviction – and a battle back (!) – since Kaitlyn didn’t make it back on to the show, using Sam’s Power App.
