BB: Not ‘Saved by the Bell’ AKA Tyler and His Minions

Idiots2

JC was never supposed to make it past Final 4. He doesn’t know Level 6 exists and by the virtue of Level 6 formerly having six people in it, JC wasn’t supposed to even make Final 6, either.

Tyler was never going to win the POV for JC. Veto Queen Kaycee won it and noms are staying the same. JC is just lucky that Winston, Rachel and Brett angered Tyler and messed up more than him.

Tyler, of course, knows JC was never going to the Final 2 but JC is taking a long journey toward this painful reality, that has existed since the beginning of the game. Tyler was never going to split up Kaycee and Angela, in the Double Eviction. JC is lucky that he and Hay or even he and Sam didn’t go home, during the Double Eviction.

Tyler is still stonewalling JC, but he is wrongly blowing up on Tyler. Yes, JC has had a stellar social game, but like Tyler, Angela and Kaycee, you have to actually win some comps, to enact your will, on the house.

As for Tyler, I love how Tyler almost lost control of all his lies, in front of Angela. He was telling Angela that, as independents, Tyler and JC were the middle men, the moles, spying on both sides. JC was collecting intel on Foutte and Tyler was scouting out Level 6.

Tyler and JC were supposed to keep the sides even, but Tyler eventually worked things, so that Foutte would be completely levelled. Tyler did have a Final 2 with JC, but he has a Final 2 with everybody.

JC thought Tyler was his ‘person,’ but Tyler’s been everyone’s ‘person’ – until he gets said person voted out (Kaitlyn, Brett, Hay, and soon, Sam). Rat recognizes rat – but JC still doesn’t know that, all this time, Tyler was also in Level 6. If he doesn’t win HOH next week, he’s #Done.

jerk

Level 6 has won the last 11 competitions, starting with Brett’s veto win, during Fessy’s HOH week. Between the Three – Angela, Tyler and Kaycee – they have won the last 10 competitions.

Tyler, Angela and Kaycee have all won six competitions, a-piece, including twist wins, like Kaycee’s Hacker win and Angela’s win, at the beginning of the game, that put a target on her back and forced her into a duel with Swaggy.

So, Tyler is giving JC a ton of slack – and continuing to play a bang-up social game – when JC, who hasn’t won a single competition, even the non-physical competitions, yells at Tyler, for not winning the veto, for him. JC, Tyler doesn’t owe you anything. He’s lucky Tyler doesn’t tell him this, to his face.

You see, Brett, JC, Sam and possibly even, Kaycee are so loyal, to a fault, that they will do things not in their best interests for Parasite Tyler. Tyler and Brett filled almost the same niche, of the strong, younger guy. Natural selection dictates either Tyler or Brett will survive, but not both. One of them has to go. Why couldn’t Brett fathom that Tyler would be coming after him?

In Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains, Amanda told Parvati to play her idol, and an immediate red flag went up in Parvati’s mind. Parvati then went on to make one of the best moves in Survivor history, by playing her idol and an idol she received from Russell, on her minions, splitting the vote and saving her alliance.

Tyson, who had made a deal with the devil, Russell, to get one of Parvati’s allies, Jerri, out, ended up voting himself out, when his vote for Jerri didn’t count, and the votes for Tyson did. Tyson would have saved himself, if he hadn’t decided to flip, and target Jerri.

In BB20, Tyler told Brett to throw the veto. Why would Tyler tell Brett to throw the veto, if he wanted to keep the Level 6 alliance strong? A red flag should have gone up, in Brett’s head, alerting him to the fact, that Tyler no longer considered him a part of Level 6, and was targeting him.

As for JC, why can’t he see that Tyler keeping these extra two people around, in their Final Four – Angela and Kaycee – is diametrically opposed to Tyler’s Final 2 with himself? To trust Tyler, is to destroy your own game. Tyler is working completely against your self-interest, JC! Wake up!

Tyler’s phenomenal, emotionally-based game can actually explain the weirdness of a bitter jury. People like Kaitlyn, Bay, Hay, Sam, Brett and JC, feel deeply, emotionally connected to Tyler.

The HGs will follow Tyler, even if what he says doesn’t make any sense (the whole plan to backdoor Scottie by pretending to be his friend; claiming Rockstar and Scottie were siblings) or when his plans conflict with their convictions, their games and their self-interest.

Then these followers of Tyler end up in the jury house, and they have no rational explanation, as to why. All they can remember is their emotional connection to Tyler and how that trust was betrayed. They can’t see the strategy at all – because there isn’t much of it, beyond animal magnetism – and then, these jury members become very bitter.

morons don't apply

BB: “Captain of Sports!” AKA The Hammer Falls

tear the doors off the hinges

JC come back to reality! Tyler is not going to win the POV for you! Kaycee won the POV. Sam is going home and then, next week, you’re going home, JC! Wake up! Do something!

JC and Sam have both been defeated by believing Tyler was exclusively their ‘person.’ They’re both on the bottom; they are the last of the misfit toys, now that all of Foutte has been eliminated.

What JC and Sam never realized – and still don’t realize – is that Tyler never belonged to them. Tyler made Final 2s with everyone. He doesn’t owe them anything.

go home

Angela and Kaycee felt sorry for JC, until Tyler told them that JC has been gunning for them, for at least three weeks now. They then dumped JC and divested him as quickly as Level 6 cut out Brett.

Now that Angela and Kaycee know JC is going home before them, they are happy to admit, privately to Tyler, all the things that ever annoyed them, about JC and how they never liked JC, in the first place.

For JC, the Titanic has already sunk, and JC is just treading water, holding on to a raft or a rotting piece of wood, in the freezing north Atlantic, just waiting for the end.

punk, Goth

Angela is winning comps and sitting pretty, but she has no plans, beyond the Final 3. She just hasn’t thought that through yet. Angela assumes that both Tyler and Kaycee will take her to the end, since she is so very much hated, by the jury.

Angela doesn’t know about Tyler and Kaycee’s Final 2. She may freak out, even more than JC, when she finds out that she is going to be betrayed. JC has been in a precarious situation for weeks – like Hay, before she went. JC understands the anxiety of not knowing where he stands and is ready for the hammer to fall.

Queen Angela has lived a mostly charmed existence, so far – so having her entire world turned upside-down will be far more unsettling to her, than it would have been for JC. JC’s only hope is that Tyler realizes this disparity, in the force of JC and Angela’s emotional reactions, and takes JC to the Final 3, instead of Angela.

Paging Dr. Peanut…Yes! Kaycee got the memo! I can’t believe it: another comp win! That’s how you do it! You hibernate, for the first month, so as not to put a target on your back – but maintain good social relations with everyone and not tick anyone off – and then down the homestretch, unfurl your fiery, phoenix wings!

Now, our Veto Goddess needs to grow a killer instinct! It’s good to be a beautiful Aphrodite sometimes, but at other times, a goddess of war, like Athena, is needed. Bring down the war hammer now, Kaycee!

This is the last chance to take a shot at Tyler! Kaycee’s self-preservation needs to kick in. Angela, Kaycee and Tyler can’t all win first place! It doesn’t work that way. Get four moves ahead, Kaycee. Get rid of the competition.
