OTEV – Page 2 – A Piece, of the Sky

Bay and Swaggy just weren’t Wendell and Laurel. They were always going to break everyone’s hearts.

There’s no winning against Tyler stans or Level 6 stans, in general. Of course, Level 6 and the independents are playing a better game, but their stans feel so entitled to Level 6’s game, like they’re the ones, in the house, playing. Most neutral observers find Level 6 stans more annoying, than Level 6 themselves. I am here for the game, not any one side.

I was very irked by the whole Tyler #JODY situation. But even Bay can be defended: Swaggy shouldn’t have made money off her likeness on the Swayleigh shirts, while she was in the house, and here Swaggy is, going to her parents’ house, but what if, especially after that #JODY moment, Bay doesn’t like Swaggy, that way, anymore?

No matter what you say, no matter how bland or PC you try to be, someone is always going to have a problem with it. Don’t feed the trolls.

If I didn’t know any better, I would say RS was trying to help Tyler win. Probably after Bay left, RS didn’t want to stay in the house anymore, and Rockstar’s whole fight to suddenly stay in the game, was all a front.

As Taran, from Rob Has a Podcast, put it, RS should just live every week like it’s ‘Opposite Day,’ since when she wants to go, RS stays – and when RS wants to stay, she is going to go. I can’t believe, last week, Bay went home, with a power app, in her pocket, only for a super negative Rockstar to just go home, the next week.

RS thinks the vote is going to be 5-1, for her to stay. As one Twitter inhabitant put it, maybe the emoji pillows, on the sofa, are voting.

RS thought Bay was evicted with 8 or more votes; Fessy thought Rockstar was already gone, when she hadn’t even been evicted (yet). JC spilled the Tea to Fessy this week, on how Hay got hacker and did what she wanted. Bay told Rachel about her power. Foutte is awful.

JC is no longer playing the middle (Brett is the mole now). JC has finally gotten over his crush on Fessy and is no longer talking game with him.

Foutte doesn’t communicate, they don’t trust each other, and they can’t keep secrets, within their own alliance. They appear solid on the outside, since they’re always hanging out with each other, but Foutte just conducts its own mini-purges, internally. Bay was the last dictator to hold them together, and now RS is going home, during Hay’s HOH.

Foutte is like a cult or the USSR: they believe whatever reality, they desire, outside their circle, is going to manifest itself ‘logically,’ but they never venture outside their circle, collect information, from outside their circle and they have no idea what’s going on, out in the world, outside their little bubble.

Meanwhile, Kaycee, as the hacker, tells Tyler, Brett and Angela, and they strategize together, on how to effectively discomfit Foutte. The fact that Kaycee was the hacker, never left Level 6. They communicate with each other and actually plant moles or use the independents, to gather information, about what the other side is thinking and doing. Knowledge is power.

The people of Foutte are book-smart, but they are not as street smart as Level 6. RS wants nominations to be ‘fair’ and is upset that she’s been on the block, so many times (Blockstar), when Rockstar has been put on the block because she’s not a strong enough competitor, to ever win the POV and save herself. Foutte actually thought Tyler was going to use the veto on Rockstar.

I’m over Rockstar, and I won’t shed too many tears when she goes. I am over the sides. I was just going to be #TeamSam, but there seems to be no happy middle with Sam.

Sam’s either a mess, falling into negative and unhelpful Rockstar’s arms – or she’s Tyler’s handmaid/lap-dog and has this petty jealousy, against Angela, and wants Tyler all to herself.

Sam was also hugging Brett, for two minutes, the other day – but I don’t see that relationship happening, ever. I can’t understand Sam and she’s disappointing me. I may be going back to just having a Final Four of JC, Kaycee, Scottie and Angela.

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.
