Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Big Brother Game and Show Week Two

Tom's Take:

This week was surprisingly eventful despite it really being irrelevant who went home since the alliance in power remains in a position of total control.

Tom

Strategy: 80

Social: 60

Show: 75

Awards: N/A

I was wrong about Tom. This guy is playing hard, and he's got a firm grip on the game. Now, I don't know if he's playing it well, as I think his grip is a little too firm and he's going to eventually play himself out, but he's in a position of power right now. My biggest issue with him right now is that he seems too eager to play, when I think that the Big Brother is a marathon not a sprint. I just don't seem him being able to go the distance going at his current pace.    

Jillian

HoH: 50/100

Strategy: 30

Social:70

Show: 75

Awards:  N/A

Jillian showmanced the hell out of Emmett this week, to the point where on the feeds it was almost like watching soft core porn at times. Her head is not in the game, but that doesn't change the fact that she's in a good position to go far in the game.  

Liza

Strategy: 75
Social: 95
Show: 45
Awards: N/A


I like Liza a lot, but I think she's playing a little too hard as well. I also initially thought she had a secret alliance with Peter, but I'm disappointed to learn that isn't very strong, at least not on Peter's part, so I can't give her very high strategy points. I think Liza will be one of the first people in The Nine to make a move though, which I look forward to it.

Peter

Strategy: 95

Social: 95

Show: 50

Awards: Projected Winner

I feel like Peter is running the house without being obvious about it like Tom is. His ability to talk to people without giving info away while they tell him everything is great. I hope he cuts Tom at the right time. 

Suzette

Strategy: 10

Social: 5

Show: 1

Awards: N/A

Ugh. I'm so glad we can forget Suzette now that she isn't HoH. 

Talla

Strategy: 20
Social: 40
Show:60
Awards: N/A

It didn't make the show, but Talla's nickname in the house is The Butt Whisperer. She's a wild card right now, and I wish she would win HoH so that we could see what she does with power.

Aneal

Strategy: 60

Social: 60

Show: 80

Awards: N/A

I think Aneal cried his way off the block. Good for him, I really didn't think he'd be able to survive this week.  But he did, so he'll have a chance to tear the giant alliance apart. I wish for the best for him. 

Emmett

Strategy: 95

Social: 95

Show: 50

Awards: Best Move for showmancing Jillian and completely controlling her this week.  

Emmett is a good player. I feel like he's a Hayden Moss in the making. 

Gary.

PoV: 30/30

Strategy: 20

Social: 40

Show: 150

Awards: Worst Move for becoming a huge target

Gary is emerging as the star of the show, but he's also the biggest target among the Outsiders, and I don't seem lasting much longer in this game. I do give him props for winning that PoV though. He needed it.   

Danielle

Strategy: 10

Social: 30

Show: 60

Awards: Worst Move for volunteering for the block. 

Dani got blindsided quite brutally, and I felt pretty bad for her when it was all said and done. She talked a big game, but she had no actual gameplay to speak of.  Her one move was volunteering for the block and that cost her the game. 

AJ

Strategy: 5

Social: 5

Show: 6

Awards: N/A

AJ apparently sucked in the PoV challenge, and he continues to have no real showplay to speak of.  

Alec

Strategy: 80

Social: 70

Show: 25

Awards: N/A

I really like Alec and Peter, and I really hope that they're the next Chilltown. They have both the social skills to dominate the game, and the knowledge of the game to know how to do that. 

Andrew

Strategy: 50

Social: 60

Show: 20

Awards: N/A

Andrew is playing in the middle, and I hope he does more later in the game. 

Topaz

Strategy: 40

Social: 60

Show: 10

Awards: N/A

Topaz is a core member of the Nine, and I'm hopeful that she'll break off with Peter and Alec to turn on Tom and his crew. She seems to have a clue and is one of the few members socializing with the outsiders. I'm hopeful for her, but there isn't much to show for her yet.
