BBLF – Page 2 – A Piece, of the Sky

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.

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.
