BB Hacker Comp – Page 3 – A Piece, of the Sky

I made the argument, before Bay’s eviction, that it would be in production’s best interests, to keep an HG with a power, even a power everybody knows about, over an HG, who will go up multiple times, as a goat, only to be finally evicted. Well, it looks like this is the time that RS finally gets evicted.

It was another week of another terrible Foutte HOH. You could argue that Angela was still under the influence of Tyler, but at least, she got out her desired backdoor target, on the other side of the house: Bay. (Foutte still doesn’t even know Level 4 exists!).

Bay got out a member of Level 6, but only because Rachel managed to tick Tyler off. Kaitlyn was controlled into backdooring a member of her own alliance (Swaggy C) – and what do you know? RS might just go home during Hay’s HOH week.

Only Scottie has done the right thing, on the Foutte side, and still has the best HOH week, of the season. This pawn nonsense doesn’t work! Sure, Tyler could have jumped in the Cloud – but let the chips fall where they may! He then wouldn’t be able to use the Cloud, during the POV ceremony. And Tyler wouldn’t have won OTEV, without RS stupidly comparing answers with him.

Hay is proving that her intelligence only extends to competitions. She tried to promise Tyler safety, from her HOH bathtub, after chugging almost a whole bottle of her HOH wine (Sam WOULD NOT approve). Noah, much?

But naturally, Tyler is never going to believe Hay’s pitch in a billion years, because 1) when Hay was the Hacker, she put Tyler on the block, and 2) during Hay’s fiasco of a house meeting, she further explicated that Tyler had been her target for weeks.

If that was the case, why put up Angela and Kaycee – Kaycee who only wins a hacker comp based on furniture, Kaycee who also yells at RS, (right before OTEV, after the feeds cut) Kaycee’s elder by ten years, a mother of three, not Kaycee’s peer, and also a someone weaker than herself. (Pick on someone your own size – or bigger!)

Speaking of looming threats, no tiny David, seems to be able to slay the Tyler Goliath. There’s no St. George, for this dragon, except maybe JC. Stupid Foutte is getting wiped off the board, as JC and Tyler, move around their chess pieces, toward the final showdown.

It’s not so much that I want to root for the underdogs – Foutte and Sam – but that as a super-fan, virtually playing in the house, myself, I want to see someone take down Tyler. I want to know that it can be done.

Right now, to use video game lingo, particularly from “Super Smash Bros: Melee,” it’s like the rest of the HGs are a bunch of NPCs (non-player characters) running around, with the intelligence of 1 or 2, all fighting against Tyler, an NPC, with an intelligence of 9. Of course, the NPC with an intelligence of 9, is going to beat a bunch of n00b bots, running around with the intelligence of ants.

When Tyler is the king of the ant hill, shining a magnifying glass down, and torching those morons, it isn’t very fun. So, let’s see if Tyler continues to be overpowered and destroy the game. As long as he wins every single POV, it doesn’t really matter who is HOH. Shake things up Grodner.

Sam called it, re. gay/bi Fessy, and I trust her reads on people. Fessy is called #MessyFessy, on Twitter, because of his slipshod game-play, but apparently he takes three showers a day!

I am not judging him at all. I think Fessy is a great guy. But he may have to take a hint that Hay isn’t as into him, as he thinks he is into her. Brett is the best man for Hay, not Scottie or Fessy. And JC is too small. Better luck next time Fessy!

Sam has worked as a waitress, a hairdresser and a bartender, in addition to her job as a welder. These are all professions that require good listening, over always speaking, and assessing a person’s mental situation, in mere seconds.

Almost everyone is hating on Sam, on Twitter, especially Tyler stans, who want her gone, before she can spill the beans on Tyler’s Cloud app power. However, I still maintain that Sam could win the whole thing. She has finally ascended to my Final Five, replacing Rachel.

The crush on Brett (!) took many people by surprise, including me – although, if true, it totally explains Sam’s confusion and hurt. There’s a ton of self-esteem issues there: compared to all the models in the house, she feels inadequate, as far as being able to attract her desired person, even though, compared to normal people, not on TV, Sam is very hot.

The LA models in the house, including the men, understandably won’t eat things with sugar, and are on this fad diet, or that fad diet. They are working for their looks. But compared to the upper middle-class LA elite in the house, poor Sam is middle class or working class.

When your parents prepare something for you, you eat it – all of it; you clean your plate. Waste not, want not. Sugar and fad diets have nothing to do with it. So, some of Sam’s anxiety is coming from extreme culture shock. She was relating this to Hay, in the HOH room, last night.

To be honest, Sam’s thing with Brett seems forced, although Brett is a way better guy, than Tyler. There’s nothing behind Tyler’s eyes; his smiles don’t reach his eyes. If he was just a normal guy, I would take pity on Tyler, because he has suffered in his personal life.

However, since Tyler is in power, and is manipulating most of the females and some of the males, in the house, these signs that I see in Tyler, become red flags, and he comes off as creepy. Hence, all my jokes about vampires, and Faust and whatnot.

Brett, on the hand, although sometimes just as toolish and as insensitive as Tyler (his good-bye message to Bay), is full of genuine mirth and happiness. His smiles reach his eyes! Like I have noted before, he has charm, wit and class. He handles confrontations better than Tyler.

When Bay came at Brett sideways, in an unfair swipe, after Rachel went home, he calmly and kindly diffused the argument. Bay had no choice but to let it go and leave him alone. He did not try and go tit-for-tat with her, trying to get in the last word. Tyler did just that in the house meeting. When you argue this way, the tiff never ends. Bay was trying to walk away, during that house meeting, several times, but he kept sending along, one more jab. Brett is more mature.

Still, as one astute Twitter denizen observed, Sam seems to be falling in love with RS, not Brett. She made RS promise, to talk to her more than Hay. Honestly, RS is the only calming influence on Sam, and together they might go far. I am rooting for them. Like Bay, Kaycee was Sam’s stand-in Mom and (first?) burgeoning female crush.

However, on the same day slippery Tyler tried to emotionally manipulate Sam, with his Cloud app, Kaycee also tried to pressure her into voting out Bay, not because Bay, was a danger to Sam, or even to Kaycee, but really because Bay was coming after Tyler, if she stayed – the same way Tyler came after Bay, and got her evicted, almost unanimously, a la Kaitlyn.

So, the day of Bay’s eviction was the day Sam opened up her eyes and saw her adopted family – Tyler and Kaycee – for who they really were: just another set of people trying to manipulate and exploit her. Hence, the Sam tailspin I described in my last dispatch.

Later, last night Tyler and Sam did talk – but thankfully, they didn’t patch things up! Sam, in her own down-to-earth way, rightly identified Tyler as a ‘snake,’ to a bemused, shocked, and even a little angry, Tyler. She sees the same emotional darkness, threatening to consume him, that other super-fans also see.

Sam shouldn’t get pulled into the orbit of Brett, nor should the other Foutte members. Brett is there as the mole, and Hay and Scottie actually believe he has been kicked out of Level 4, when he is constantly reporting back to them, a la JC. Foutte people are so kind and/or naive that they don’t plant moles in Level 4 and don’t even suspect Level 4 moles (except JC, only recently).

If someone just randomly starts being friendly to you, and he or she has never talked to you seriously before, a red flag should go up, and you shouldn’t tell such a person anything sensitive (like Hay and Scottie still talking game in front of JC!). If Brett reels Sam in and just uses her for information and for votes, she will be devastated all over again, like she was with Tyler and Kaycee.

If RS and Foutte were smart, they would make sure RS is there for Sam, all the time. She has ‘turned’ Sam, as they say in the intelligence world. RS needs to continue to be a faithful handler, or else the agents of Level 4 will scoop her back up, again and use her as a double agent. This would be bad for Sam, Foutte’s game and for Sam’s peace-of-mind.

On the personal level, a tough girl, like Sam, needs to be nurtured, more than anything. Such women are tough, but they don’t know how to be soft or react when someone is soft toward them. Sam seems uncomfortable with any male attention she gets in the house, despite somehow craving romantic kindness.

Brett is slick, hip and cosmopolitan, but he isn’t a nurturer. Sam needs a nurturing Mom/wife figure. That person is RS. Reel her in Foutte. It’s the best thing for Sam and for them.
