Have-Not – A Piece, of the Sky

Angela was probably tired of Tyler’s nonsense. She wanted OUT. Their relationship seemed like it could have taken place in seventh grade – not between two adults. Puppy love. I’m with Rob on this one: #Tangela is as dull as Velveeta cheese. Unctuous. Corny. Kitsch.

Love is not perfect. A compelling love, like a compelling hero or anti-hero, is flawed. We knew Faleigh would never last, but fans enjoyed watching them snipe and bicker, like a cantankerous old couple. For Tangela, everything is easy – and easy is boring. If Tangela didn’t feel like they had to keep their relationship a secret, the audience would have soured on them, a long time ago.

Angela was just exhausted. She was tired of ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’ with Tyler, as the ideal couple. Angela got all the bad results of being a compelling villain and none of the superior results, like her mate, the smaller spider, Tyler. She got blamed for everything, by the jury, but Angela didn’t capitalize on her bloodthirsty reputation, to actually win the game.

Taran, the robot’s, heart melted, by the end of the game. My frozen heart never saw the first rays of spring. This TV love didn’t tickle my heart strings. It was moronic. I was worried Tyler would lose his edge, but Angela basically became a housewife and took the fall, for her man. She was left sitting on the asphalt, outside the BB house, wondering what the heck happened to her. Angela got sideswiped by Tyler’s Maserati, burning his way down the speedway, toward the Final Two. Watch out for road rash.

Sam, the maid, can’t imagine a life without cooking and cleaning for the BB HGs. Angela relied on her alliance to the end. She had no contingency plans, she had no support Final Twos. Tyler, meanwhile, had a Final Two, with everyone and his or her mom. If Angela hadn’t listened to conniving Tyler and cut her original Ride-or-Die, Rachel, she might have had a paddle, in hell. But instead, after Kaycee and Tyler cut her, following JC’s earth-shattering W, Angela was left sailing down the Styx, into the abyss (I love mythology).

What happened to her, man? What’s wrong with Angela? – as Rachel would say. What happened to Angela’s warrior spirit? Why did she throw her killer instinct out the window? Amazonia?!?!

@kaitcoaching was the real winner of #BB20.

It’s too bad that we can’t have a full LGBT Final Two. Both of these two are, sadly, still stuck on Tyler. Gay female Kaycee thinks Tyler is her straight or bisexual male bro. JC is still lost in this tragic gay person crushing on an uninterested straight or bisexual, same-sex person story arc. It’s not good.

Tyler cannot take Kaycee, if he wants to win. But JC could also beat him too, if Tyler decided to take him. Foutte is blaming itself, in the jury house but it won’t be too long before they turn their guns outside of the circle and start firing at Tyler. Rockstar, Bay and Co. would definitely vote for any LGBT person, over Tyler, at this point – even JC.

JC just couldn’t win that second competition. He’s going out, in third place. He played a good social game, manipulated everyone but Tyler, Angela and Kaycee and orchestrated many significant votes, including Kaitlyn’s downfall – but in the end you need to win comps, to enact your will. A “rat, floater game” – as Taran puts it – can only take you so far.

JC could only win one comp, so he had to rely on various hosts – Fessy, Brett, Tyler and even, at one point, Kaycee. Fessy and Brett bit the bullet, for JC, but both Tyler and Kaycee successfully resisted JC’s parasitic influence. Tyler picked Level 6, his showmance with Angela and finally, his Final Two with Kaycee, over JC.

JC’s problem was that he thought Tyler would put him first – over the aforementioned Level 6, Angela and Kaycee. JC would have won the game, if he hadn’t underestimated the extent of Tyler’s duplicity. ‘Never commit to anyone;’ never believe in anyone, without question. Or as Reagan would say, “Trust but verify.” JC got left in the Broken Hearts Club.

Then there’s freedom of choice, or at least, the allusion of choice. Some people can, for the most part, make the right decisions – but the spice of life is all of the people who can’t or won’t make the right decisions. I’ve said it before: in the elements, in Survivor, people’s true selves come out, real quick. Bring back Have-Nots, with a vengeance. Put HGs on slop. Get more people to show their HOH-itis – and you’ll see people’s real selves jump out. Four words: Lord of the Flies.

JC and Brett are back together. JC got stuck as a Have-Not, when it was Angela’s turn (she’s only been a Have-Not once, before). Meanwhile, this is JC’s second time as a Have-Not. This occurrence will definitely feel to JC, like #Tangela is getting the opportunity to conspire against him. JC will then plot a counter-attack.

It’s not as easy to do, in truth, as it is to do, in theory, but JC is going to rally all of the misfit toys, on the bottom of the island: himself, Brett, Hay, Sam – and lead a revolution.

This is a case of ‘the enemy of my enemy, is my friend.’ Rockstar recanted and made a secret pact with Brett, after banging pots and pans at him, and this bought her a few more weeks of safety.

JC needs to, as I said before, drop his crush on Tyler, ignore his utter dislike for Angela, for a moment, and work with her and Kaycee to get rid of Tyler – since Tyler has outright defied JC, when it comes to taking out Angela and Kaycee. That’s what you get, Tyler, for turning down a promising idea, for a big move.

If Hay wasn’t the only one up there, in front of the pie of doom, Tyler would have thrown the last HOH comp and would have been able to compete, for HOH, next week. But Hay was up there, so Tyler had to win, instead of taking a chance on a Hay HOH week, even if there was a strong probability Sam would have gone home, instead of Tyler.

So, Tyler is HOH – but that makes him vulnerable, next week – when he can’t cuddle with Angela, up in the HOH room. What’s the post-HOH plan? Angela, Brett, Hay and JC need to strike now! Tyler’s defenses are down. It’s like the Death Star. Get a shot in, before the shields come back up.

Tyler is trying to angle for Kaycee or Angela to do his dirty work for him and get rid of JC – since if JC goes to the jury, hating Tyler, there’s no way Tyler can win. All of the people who Tyler has promised a Final Two: Kaycee, Brett, JC and Sam (even Angela, if you count showmances) need to compare notes and exchange receipts. Get out the snake!

My money is on JC, since Hay is still bumbling around, running into walls. Like Scottie, Hay doesn’t know when to stop talking.

Hay asks Tyler if Brett, Angela, and Kaycee are all in an alliance, with him (Level 6/4) – because Hay caught them, all celebrating together, last week. What do you think Tyler is going to say to that question, Hay?!?! Of course, Tyler is going to deny and make up a cover story!

Hay then asks Tyler if she is the target, this week. What do you think Tyler is going to tell you, Hay!? Of course, Tyler denies this. Even if Hay was the target, Tyler wouldn’t tell her this, to her face! Why ask?

Later, in the hammock, the continuously beleaguered Scottie asks Hay, to her face, if she has Final 2s, with almost everyone in Foutte, including Scottie. Why would Scottie ask Hay that?! There is no way, on this green earth, that Hay would ever admit to multiple Final 2s, to Scottie’s face. Of course, regardless of the truth, Hay is going to deny this and say she only has a Final 2 with Scottie. Again, don’t ask!

Scottie then tells Hay that he is the pawn. Wino Hay cries into her alcohol, that night – and doesn’t realize that, what else would Tyler tell Scottie?!? On what planet, would Tyler ever tell Scottie, to his face, that he’s the target?? Of course, Scottie’s the target, Hay!! Kaycee eventually comforts Hay and Kaycee didn’t use the veto, so Scottie is going home (yet again).

Whether it’s Hay or JC, someone needs to fire the first round, at Tyler, for the sake of the season, at least. Geez! Get out that fake Savage, Tyler.
