BB: Faysal Fail

yiikes

I abhorred Faysal’s game-play so much, that I must have subconsciously edited it out of my autopsy of Thursday’s whirlwind episode. I did say, long ago, that Fezzie might amble back over to Kaitlyn – but only to keep her in check, and make sure she didn’t turn on anyone in Foute! Totally failed in that regard.

What I don’t understand, is how Steve going home, wasn’t like a bomb going off for Fezzie and Swaggy. The natural thing to do, would be to find the leak and make sure that it never happened again. But those two, and all of Foute really, were only too happy to go along with whatever the status quo was, instead of actively and proactively creating and shaping the status quo – like Tyler.

Swaggy blasted everyone for tanning, instead of playing the game, but he was more worried about people wearing his swag, instead of enacting a realistic strategy. Also, it’s a game – swearing on family members’ graves is never called for. That was a big red flag, regarding character, for me.

And as he was pleading with the heartless Kaitlyn and his argument to Tyler was falling on deaf ears, he came off as desperate. Never be desperate. Once you are coming off as desperate, you have lost. That’s one of the Laws of Power. Swaggy is not a Wendell.

Fezzie may suddenly reveal some hidden store of intelligence, but that’s unlikely. Tyler will continue his plan to pick off Foute, speaking through his mouthpiece, Scottie.

What I like about this season, is that nobody is completely stupid, not even Kaitlyn. Nobody is an absolute schmuck, holding the idiot ball. However, compared to everyone else, Tyler does seem to be a great deal smarter. No one sees Tyler coming; they would do good to prepare themselves and watch out! Steve flamed out; Tyler is behaving like the real undercover cop.

is this real

The true test of a relationship, is surviving tough times together, which Swaggy C and Bayleigh seem to be doing. I was a little disappointed that Bay ran crying back to Tyler, but between her, Tyler, Swaggy C and Faisal, everyone agrees that the noms should stay the same – both mega-alliances (Level 6, The Five) agree on that.

Strategically, I would want to take Steve down and put Angela up (she’s way more of a threat) but Fezzie only had the power to take someone down, not put them up, and Tyler would have put up Bay and endangered Swaggy and The Five.

Sam and Steve are literally on the bottom, outside of both mega-alliances. Steve’s one ally, Scott, was too afraid of snakes, to win the veto. I am surprised our undercover cop is so out of the loop. Since Sam has her “idol,” he may be going home, even if she’s not ready to play her advantage yet.

Looking Three Moves Ahead: Tyler is going to risk being exposed as Level 6, when either Fezzie or Swaggy figure out he’s not really allied with the Five. It also can’t be too long before, one way or another, everyone finds out Angela does not have the weekly advantage.

What do you think? How do you feel about mafioso Tyler – or has he even earned that title yet? What’s your three-steps-ahead scenario? I am really loving this season!
