The #JODY game rears its head again – this time between Fessy and Brett, instead of Tyler and the evicted Swaggy.

Sam and I are both tired of a conventional game, on the part of everyone, who is not Tyler or JC. I too, like Sam, am ready to stomp metaphorical, strategic “mudholes” and turn this game upside down, just to keep it interesting.

Faysal is a lumbering giant, both physically and mentally. Kaycee went back up on the block, just like during Hay’s HOH, and Scottie is 99.99% going home.

As I mentioned earlier, I ship Hay and Brett. Hay is a disappointing player, but as a person, she deserves a better significant other, than Fessy. Don’t be too vulgar but drop a bomb on Fessy’s intentions of ever winning Hay’s heart, Brett!

Back to Hay’s game: extremely disappointing. Fans of the game or independent fans, are just aghast at how fast Hay could go from hero to zero. This week has been a wake-up call not just for the weakness of Scottie’s game, but Hay’s as well.

One can only look back and see that during the intermediary period, after Swaggy left and when Bay was unofficially running Foutte, Hay had some clever ideas or instincts, but she would rarely voice them, outside the DR, much less, act on any of them.

Hay’s passive gameplay has followed her into Fessy’s disastrous (for Foutte) HOH week and is a major reason for the utter collapse of her own HOH week: RS going home.

The Mind Flayer (Stranger Things fans, rejoice), that is JC, continues to live on. His Hive Mind, has jumped hosts. Still, JC has a good point: even dedicated, hardcore Tyler fans are nervous about this whole #Tangela experience. I like them as good friends, but personally, I don’t see the showmance material.

On a game level, almost any kind of showmance is distracting. In the first Season of Survivor, on Borneo, Richard Hatch was very taken by the quirky and handsome Sean, but that was only in his heart. His brain voted Sean out without a second thought and Hatch won the million dollars.

I am not surprised that Bay and Swaggy didn’t survive game-wise, even though they seem to love each other, as people. And of course, I have never put much stock in Hay or Fessy, as players, or ever been excited, on a game level, for their showmance. Neither Hay, nor Fessy, are in my Final Five.

Tyler is a strong player; if his game immune system has been compromised by Tangela (Pokémon?) he isn’t showing any symptoms – yet. He reassured JC, not to take this Tangela nonsense seriously, and if Tyler really is bi, this may be a relief, for JC, on a personal level too. JC doesn’t like the females on his men. He broke up Fessy and Kaitlyn, and JC has never been a huge fan of Fessy x Hay.

Angela liking Brett, that way, seems highly unlikely. I don’t see it at all. So, I hope JC doesn’t try to sell that ocean-side property, in Kansas, too hard.

Lines are being drawn. With Foutte, all but in a free fall, it’s time to look toward the endgame. The great mental war between JC and Tyler, is just beginning, like Professor X trying to outsmart Magneto.

Brett is a funny character, a paragon of the trickster archetype, but compared to the depths of Tyler’s game-mind, Brett is just a very pretty face (dump him Sam). JC, defeat Tyler. Come up with a better line and entangle Tangela in your gladiator’s net.

I tried to write this many times, but I am still reeling from the loss of Kaitlyn. I thought no one was going home this week – and production did too! #BBApocalypse #7StagesofGrief

The one thing about the natural disaster-level whirl of karma, that removed Kaitlyn, is that after the dust settled, we began to see what’s important and what’s not…

JC is running this game. Level 6 was all set to bounce RS, and JC said “No.” Sam, the HOH, who can fish for her dinner, weld, and purportedly ‘stomp mudholes’ in people’s chests, wanted to put JC on the block. JC said “No.” Sam caved and cried and hugged JC afterward.

JC is independent of Level 6. He is independent of Tyler. Tyler can womanize Bay, Hay, Kaitlyn, Sam, Kaycee (even though she is gay!) and everyone, everywhere – except JC. JC sees through him. He sees him for who he truly is (so does Scottie, but more on Scottie later).

On Twitter, there are pictures of Tyler, dressed as a rich man, in his real life. He’s not a “surfer.” He doesn’t need the money – but he has the intelligence to win it.

The Kaitlyn vote showed me that the house will listen to JC, over Tyler. If Level 6 doesn’t have JC’s swing vote, they will literally break camp and vote the other way. JC is the bellwether, the canary in the coal mine.

When JC voted to evict RS, every BB fan, myself included, thought RS was toast. But that was just a joke vote – and who was that poison barb aimed at? Tyler.

JC’s long game is to destroy Tyler, because only Tyler stands in the way of him winning $500K. The rest are irrelevant. It’s a game between JC and Tyler and the rest of them are just chess pieces, that those two move around. And it’s JC‘s game to lose.

Invisibility is power. If you’re not on the TV right now, that’s a good thing. Based on this rubric, the Final Five are: JC, Scottie, Angela, Rachel and Kaycee. Most casual watchers regard these HGs as “furniture,” but they are the real ones running the game.

RS is weak. Hay and Fessy are fighting now. Brett, Tyler and Sam are all way too exposed. Bay has a chance, but she has contracted HOH-itis, like Kaitlyn and Sam. Absolute power, corrupts absolutely.

Bay has also told Rachel about her power app. Who has she not told? A fake showmance with Tyler, is the last thing she needs right now (4 Days Late?! C’mon Bay! That’s your whole career and life on the line! You’re a professional model!).

Bay deserves to go home, if she too falls for Tyler’s wiles. Everyone is Faust, to Tyler’s fallen angel, Mephistopheles (look what happened to Kaitlyn!). He’s a jinx. He’s the spirit in “Death Note.” Avoid him Bay.

Scottie is still the best HOH, and he didn’t suffer an iota for it! Meanwhile, Brett is back on the block! The bros are going home.

Being HOH, gives you a chance to step out of the current fight and create a way-ahead. An airtight, post-HOH game is the sign of skillful player. Since he left the HOH suite, no one has heard from Scottie. #OutToLunch #OnBreak
