BB: “Loyal, Honesty, Trust” AKA The Cat’s Paw

How I feel about most people

Game recognizes game; rat recognizes rat.

JC has played a bang-up game. He’s definitely a Tier 2 player. But as I have mentioned, a couple of times before, JC has a real blind spot, when it comes to Tyler.

Remember, one of the #48LawsOfPower is ‘Don’t Commit to Anyone.’ This doesn’t mean don’t get married; it means don’t believe in someone, so much, that you could completely overlook the possibility that said person, might be lying to you.

JC has had an otherwise airtight, rock-solid game, but his inability to see that Tyler has a Final Two, with Kaycee and a showmance, with Angela, defies all logic, at this point.

Angela has now put JC and Sam up on the block. The hammer is coming down. Why would Tyler risk alienating Kaycee, by backdooring her, at this late stage, in the game, when they have had a bulletproof Final Two, for this entire season?

JC still doesn’t even know Level 6 exists. Heck, before yesterday, JC didn’t even know that Angela used to be a professional athlete.

There’s a ton of things that JC doesn’t know, even though he’s done so much for Tyler and Level 6. JC was Tyler’s cat’s paw. Tyler was the monkey that used JC’s paw, to get the chestnuts, out of the fire. JC is about to get burned, instead of him.

JC has put all his eggs, into Tyler’s basket! He has no one else! It’s too late to go back to Angela and Kaycee and either turn them against each other or get one of them to work with him, to get rid of Tyler.

Angela never liked JC, anyway. JC and Sam have always been friends, but their friendship hasn’t really translated into power, in the game. JC doesn’t have a paddle left, on this creek!

JC will definitely win, if he can get to the end. JC would need to win, at least, two competitions, now, just to give him a sturdy footing against the Three – Tyler, Angela and Kaycee.  Tangela and Kaycee have swept the competitions and ran the game, since almost a month ago.

It turns out that most of the Level 6 fans were Brett fans. Brett was the consummate showman, but now the Brett fans are waking up – and finally becoming Anti-Tyler. Tyler’s mask has been slipping more and more, lately. Laugh at Sam all you want, but Tyler is a snake; he’s a snitch.

My prediction, that Tyler’s ice-cold, vampire nature would rise to the surface, is coming to fruition. “Tell your friends,” indeed. Tyler better stay “two steps ahead,” because JC, Kaycee and even Sam, could still win, at this point.

BB: The Story of Bay

NEVER FORGET

The initial anger, surrounding the backdoor is wearing off, and sadness is beginning to set in. Thanks Bay. #7StagesOfGrief

It’s been fun. (Not.)

July 26th: “Last call for Swayleigh” (This was before Kaitlyn had even left the house.)

… a war has been raging among the dedicated disciples of Bay: those who claim to be the true acolytes and those who rightly recognize that they can love Bay and deeply dislike her strategy.

Bay couldn’t win HOH to save her life [She did win the HOH – but she completely changed her personality and her game, in the process. If she hadn’t won that HOH, would she still be going home on Thursday?].

A ‘power app’ means nothing, if you don’t…command respect. [Kaycee has won zero comps, zero power apps and zero HOHs – and she’s still living large.]

So many holes in Bay running after Level 6…

Tyler doesn’t like Bay. Week 1, he…considered putting Bay herself up on the block (that was the day when she went crying back to him, in the HOH room, after Swaggy tried to quietly tell her). My mind cannot compute why she would ever tell Tyler, of all people, about her secret power…

If Tyler – and JC, Sam and even, Kaycee and Rachel – are at the bottom of Level 6, Bay isn’t even in Level 6. They will use Bay as a number and then discard her.

Only Rockstar has been 100% loyal to Swayleigh, yet Bay [was] determined to send RS home. [And then Bay wanted to send home Scottie; Scottie is now working for Level 4.]

– End Flashback –

Bay is going the way of Kaitlyn, and she wasn’t even as fantastically bad and as cool as Kaitlyn! I knew Bay shouldn’t have trusted Tyler; now, she too, has become Faust.

Sam was even trying to be nice to Bay and cheer her up – but Bay kept subtly kicking Sam’s game, in the teeth. And then there was all that yelling at RS. Poor Sam. Poor Rockstar.

Bay, why didn’t you 1) put Tyler and Brett up, when you were HOH? 2) keep your power app a secret from Rachel, Tyler, Angela and the rest of Level 6? 3) use your power this week? Five minutes after the Veto ceremony, Bay was packing – five minutes. 

Lest we forget Angela, the Cowardly Lion, Richard III (played expertly by Sherlock‘s Benedict Cumberbatch) was a great villain and had scoliosis. The poor guy was ugly, but he stood by his positions; he died on that hill. If a platform is so strong, stand behind it.

Tyler has a track record: Kaitlyn, Rachel, Bay (soon), and later Angela. All of the HGs believe they are invincible; they never see their blindside coming.

Hope: I am hearing there will indeed be a double eviction – and a battle back (!) – since Kaitlyn didn’t make it back on to the show, using Sam’s Power App.
