Seriously, I can't get over Level Six just collectively playing "gently caress the Jury" games.

Its funny because their feedster fans have come up with a lot of rationalizations about how Angela or Brett was just lying to encourage the other to be mean. And I don't blame those fans because like... it doesn't make sense that they're just mean girling the Jury for fun. But they just are. That's just who they are.

A twist free week coming up... so, if a non Level 6er wins it's going to be a last shot to thin out that herd on the other side.
If a Level 6er wins, this season is pretty much a wrap and the battle for least loathsome from that group to win begins.

Angela and Brett are pretty much intertwined... because unless they are F2 together, neither are winning.
Brett might be smart enough to see it; Angela is too super geeked up in Mean Girl Mode to put it together.

Fessy's an idiot but that edit was harsh on that. Haleigh was agreeing with him on Scottie way more than she was fighting to save him and Scottie didn't talk to Fessy until literally minutes before the nomination ceremony. I blame all three of them equally for this. Scottie's a sketchy dude and the show never revealed that last week he made up a bunch of lies about Fessy to try and convince Haleigh not to trust him. He never just got real with Fessy and talked to him like he talks to Haleigh or the DR. And Haleigh's a scared player who has time and again refused to stick her neck out for anyone, which is why she was agreeing with JC when he was burying Fessy, putting up very little fight for Scottie to Fessy, and then just poked Scottie to talk to Fessy and walked away.

The three of them needed to sit down and hash out their poo poo and realize they need each other and they just never did. Its what FOUTTE/Hive have been doing all season and its why Level Six gets to keep being smug assholes even though they never do poo poo (including this week, gently caress Brett's "my plan" poo poo, he did nothing). L6 are lovely players but they have a unified purpose and a leader in Tyler. Everyone else have been disjointed and don't talk to each other and its led to pretty much every downfall they've had all season from Kaitlyn backdooring Swaggy to Bayleigh and Haleigh not getting on the same page with their powers.

But make no mistake, Fessy's still a moron high on his power who can't see the big picture or get important game aspects.

Edit: They did kind of short change him on that HOH edit. He smoked that comp in 20 minutes and Tyler wasn't even remotely close.

Again, as always, this is good information.

It's true about L6. They are all terrible players, both physically and strategically. Well, except Tyler. I just don't understand how the middle of the house fits into all of this. Scottie seems to be getting pulled in by Haleigh, but Fessy made sure to block that. J.C. is a wild card, but seems to want to align more with L6 (although he doesn't realize this is an alliance). And Sam is just in her own world, it seems. Scottie's issue is that no one trusts him, and he's an easy person to not trust. I am not sure what J.C.'s end game is. I think he does believe he is some huge puppet master, and in any other season, I think he'd be gone by now. I think people just keep Sam around because she is no threat, and there's been bigger targets each week.

I know you've said it again and again, but paranoia runs so deep in this house. The fact that people can sort of believe that Brett is some lone wolf that sided with Rockstar over the most obvious answer is an example of that.

I thought J.C. calling Fessy dumb all game was just J.C. being J.C. But no, he's absolutely correct.

Part of me really wants to believe that he actually put up Brett and Scottie because he sees them as competition for Haleigh.

I think Sam gets to the final 3, but with it likely being her and 2 members of Level 4, they won't take her to F2 because no one is going to beat sweet, friendly Sam, who didn't get on the bad side of any juror other than Haleigh. The rest of the season seems pretty straight forward. Haleigh goes next week, Fessy after, then JC, and finally L4 face-off, with Sam dragged along to F3 because she won't win a non-random competition.

Yeah, i don't see Tyler letting Sam get to the end. She's way too dangerous of a jury threat. He definitely wants to be sitting next to one of his LvT goats. Even if he doesn't know they're burning jurors in their goodbye messages he knows the way theyve played the game, ignoring much of the house, burning people, doing very little, and and getting into poo poo like that like/fight with Scottie.

Tylers gotta be Andy at this stage. Just stay alive and make sure you've got your goats at the end with you so no matter how bitter the jury is they don't want to reward the person next to you.

Close but Fessy goes next week before Haleigh.
The last thing the other side needs is for Fessy to go Beast-Mode in comps because his squeezy toy got bounced and he's all alone.

Plus he has to sit out the next HOH so his target is ripe.

This ended up helping frame Scottie for voting to evict Rockstar pretty good, completely unintentionally on Brett's part.

Everyone is just infuriatingly stupid, even Tyler, so there's really no point in theorizing or trying to figure anything out here. It's just a bunch of dumbass people and one of them is slightly more charismatic in his stupidity, which enables him to not be immediately snuffed out.

Fast Luck

It's really beyond words how stupid Fessy is. Everyone voted against Fessy/Haleigh and evicted Rockstar, except one person. So everyone is likely against them, except one person.

Scottie and Brett both claim to be that one person.

Fessy puts them both up on the block, so whichever person really is with them and not with the side that voted out Rockstar... can be a sitting duck and swept right out behind her?? Fessy took the one course where even if Scottie was an evil genius way and Brett was innocent, it would still be stupid!

They've been surprised by every vote so far this game, pretty much. It should be SO obvious there's a big alliance working against them, so why don't they target some of the many people they know are against them, instead of Brett or Scottie? Those are like the last two people they should nominate. And, like, if Scottie really is in love with Haleigh, then if he ever wins HOH she can get in his ear and use him for your benefit! Why don't they automatically distrust anything Kaycee says after she was the likely hacker who came off the block last week? This whole thing is beyond belief no matter what angle you look at it from. Just legendary morons.

Fessy's never see the show before and he's really dumb/clueless/ignorant about really obvious and basic game strategy we take for granted. So I actually kind of get why he doesn't see a secret alliance because he just doesn't get the concept of that stuff. He takes things at pretty face value, which has proven wise a lot of the time when people like Kaitlyn, Bayleigh, and Haleigh were overthinking stuff. But this week it just made him screw it all up but taking the surface interpretation of "Scottie and Brett are both sketchy and have lied to me so I'm putting them both up." Its true and in a vacuum its fine. But its just a bad game strategy.

Its why I blame Scottie and Haleigh equally with Fessy for this because they DO see this but neither of them ever verbalized it to Fessy. Hell, Scottie and Haleigh basically reasoned out Level Six as an alliance with JC and Sam at the end of last week/start of this week. They don't 100% know it but they've figured out that it makes sense and explains everything and this latest vote kind of confirmed it.

But as far as I know neither has once walked up to Fessy and said "I think the entire rest of the house is allied together and has been all season and if you think about it it explains everything and means we have to stick together." Haleigh was just saying "Scottie trusts me, but I don't know if he trusts you." And Scottie was just doing weird stuff like comparing Brett/Kaycee to Dan/Memphis as if that means anything to Fessy.

It just feels weird after Haleigh's attempt at going after Tyler. Have Fessy and her had any sort of conversation about him? She seemed focused on him last week, and it appears like he's not really mentioned this week.

He was in the mix of nomination ideas. It was basically Scottie, Tyler, and Brett from Fessy's initial ideas as he seemed mostly focused on taking out a male competitor and found them all sketchy. Haleigh was pushing Tyler/Brett a bit and that she'd be a target of Tyler but she didn't push hard (as she never does) and JC pushed Scottie very hard and protected Tyler as always. Eventually Fessy seemed to feel Tyler was the best of the three to try and work with, in large part thanks to JC's aggressiveness and Haleigh's passivity. And that Tyler talked to Fessy and Scottie didn't.

Of course its crazy that anyone still trusts Tyler in that house and that seems like it has to come back on him, but then again it would be kind of crazy to trust Brett or Scottie either. So here we are.

Outside of Angela and Haleigh and Tyler's hiding spots... much of the other's were pretty inventive.
Brett running defense on the bulk of his runs was brilliant strategy and will be used in the future.
Scottie dumping milk for a slip n' slide effect was hilarious and it did slow everyone down.

This event is hilarious because there's always the clean freak that get's butthurt about the aftermath.

That said, this event is chaos and invites the ants and roaches and rats to take over the rest of the season.

I appreciate that BB recognized that this week was so boring that they had to artificially create drama with an absurd cliffhanger for POV.

Fun Feed Fact, up until recently Sam was convinced that Fessy was gay. That MIGHT go to explain her game strategy a little.

I really can't get over that Angela thought making the oven smell like coffee would hide it. Or that coffee grounds in any way resemble burnt up grease and poo poo. Angela truly is a game genius.

Brett's Hide & Seek strategy was like a perfect metaphor for his game. It should have been so absurdly obvious with him moving mattresses and furniture from other rooms into the Have Not room, and sure enough Tyler and Fessy both seemed aware of it. But it was also incredibly obnoxious and over the top that there wasn't a drat thing they could do about it. "If you can't bedazzle them with brilliance, befuddle them with bullshit." Brett won because his piece was buried under mountains of proverbial bullshit.

From the feeds it sounded like Zingbot went soft on them but in hindsight it seems like Kaycee and Angela just were too dense to get their burns. Or too self absorbed to acknowledge them.

Max posted:

In fairness Kaycee/Angela are probably the "safest" nominees in the house as they've done very little and most everyone regards them as afterthoughts in the game. It was kind of a bullshit shot but it also was kind of one sided editing and left out a lot of shots Haleigh took at Fessy including accusing him of secretly working with Angela and having a crush on her and their relationship being game. Haleigh and Fessy are just messy.

Kaycee definitely thought her zing was solely about the fact that she says “Let’s Go!” a lot. And she thought the joke was “You say ‘Lets Go’ so often that it gets annoying and makes viewers want to change the channel for that reason.” She didn’t realize that it was a more all-encompassing zing saying that everything about her is boring/sucks and she as a person in general makes people want to change the channel

Fessy was super dumb this week but I still kind of can't get why Scottie and BB never even considered "remember a week ago when you made Haleigh cry by telling her Fessy was playing her and had done all kinds of things he didn't, and how you told people you were gunning for Fessy?"

I guess its old hat for BB but so few people this season seem to be able to see their own games.

And Fessy joining the "Bad Jury Management Club" while JC pulls the Paul "Lie Even Though It Probably Won't Hold Up In Jury" play. BB20 cast, man.

It's too bad Scottie's crush on Haleigh won't allow him to see just how full of poo poo she was in that goodbye message. He has to know that she is in complete control of Fessy and if she wanted to have saved Scottie, she could have. Total nonsense from her there.

Least consequential battle back ever?
