BB7 – Veto and More (Spoilers!)
If you haven’t seen the veto competition this week on Big Brother, skip this entry entirely.
But since the eviction ceremony is tonight, I’ll assume you have seen it and we’ll go from there.
Tuesday night’s show is the true turning point of the season. The alliances are in crumbles. New bitter enemies have been made. And Will created it ALL.
Will is the greatest player in the history of this game. Just look at the circles he’s danced around everyone on the show this year and manipulated them into doing everything he’s wanted. He knew which people to target, which arguments to use on them, and how to present them. It’s a thing of beauty for this social game.
This week was the culmination of his efforts. He broke the Season 6 alliance by breaking Janelle. Janelle did nothing to help herself, of course. At the point when her house of cards was crumbling — at James’ urging — she needed to admit to it all. “I brokered a deal with the Chilltown Alliance to save the Season 6 Alliance next week. Together, we go after the floaters. After that, the four of us can beat the two of them.”
Instead, she went with, “I did what I had to do for me.”
Whoops.
Sadly, Will’s Parachute Theory might have prevented that from being a winning strategy. Too many of the S6 people are busy working alternate alliances with floaters to protect their own interests. However, it’s only Janelle who has admitted to this. James is doing the same thing as she is, but he hasn’t been caught yet. And now he’s a house on fire.
I don’t understand what the floaters have been thinking. They’re starting to coalesce into the dominant front in the house, no doubt partly due to Will’s maneuvering. They now officially have the numbers advantage, but they’re more worried about Will and Boogie than they are about James/Kaysar/Janelle/Howie. From a numbers standpoint, that makes no sense.
But with the S6 alliance breaking down, new alliances will form. I don’t think the monolithic floaters alliance will last too much longer. They’ll start breaking apart themselves. At least one of them will realize that it would be smart to join up with the Chilltown/Janelle alliance to play the numbers game. I doubt James will formally invite Danielle into the S6 alliance, just because he likes having what he sees as a card up his sleeve, even though everyone sees it.
Will this all be enough to wake Kaysar up from his long summer sleep?
Fun fun fun.
