Five Drinks Into Big Brother 17 Game and Show Week 1

om's Take

We've got a phenomenal start to this game, with tons of early drama, and a great cast playing the game very very hard. I'm loving it.


This week we got 2 new cast mates, screwing up my initial predictions. We also got the return of "fan favorite" battle of the block, but I'll deal with all of that, because I am loving this cast. I think we've got a GREAT mix of gamers and crazies. 






1. Audrey



Comp Bonus Points:
Social: 10
Strategic: 10
Showplay: 300
Alliances: Too Many
Awards: Too hard too fast, Star of the Show, Personal Favorite


Audrey is fantastic television. She is the clear star of the show, at least for now. She won't last very long, in large part because she can't stop playing the game.

As for her actual gameplay, I kept wanting to give her some credit, but she kept digging a giant hole for herself.  She started at least ten different alliances, and spent her time lying to everybody. People eventually compared notes, and eruptions followed.

Surprisingly, she started a bit of a revolution, and should have had the ammo to get it going, but the Revolutionaries weren't willing to fight for Jace, and so an end was put to that. I'm hoping Audrey can stay around, but I think she's week 3 or 4 at the absolute latest.


2. Austin




Comp Bonus Points:
Social: 20
Strategic: 40
Showplay: 40
Alliances: Shelltown, Sleeper Cell
Awards: Saved


I am not very impressed with Austin. The guy has muscles, and brains, he has a good read on the house. But he is doing nothing with that. He had a connection with Jace, and he allowed that to paint a giant target on his back, but when the opportunity to try and save Jace arrived, he let it go by without taking it.



3. Becky



Comp Bonus Points: 30
Social: 20
Strategic: 0
Showplay: 10
Alliances: N/A
Awards: Coaster Female


Coaster. She does nothing.

4. Clay


Comp Bonus Points:
Social: 40
Strategic: 40
Showplay: 60
Alliances: See Audrey
Awards: Eye Candy

Clay is very attractive. He's kind of a bore, but he's playing the game very hard. He's got a great demeanor, and he looks good, so he could very well be a good player this season. His early ties with Audrey might cost him, but if he can get through that, he should be fine.


5. Da'Vonne


Comp Bonus Points:
Social: 30
Strategic: 40
Showplay: 170
Alliances: High Rollers,
Awards: DR Queen


Da is feeds gold as well. She's a bad ass, and she'll bring the drama. She'll leave around the same time as Audrey. She might outlast her by a week at most.

6. Jace




Comp Bonus Points:
Social: 0
Strategic: 0
Showplay: 130
Alliances: Shelltown
Awards: First Boot


Fun first boot. He brought his own crazy brand of drama, and had several explosions all over the house.

7. James



Comp Bonus Points: 25
Social: 50
Strategic: 50
Showplay: 70
Alliances: The Main Group
Awards: 1st HOH


James played a decent first week game. He had HOH, he got people to mostly trust him. He's a decent player.  I'm not giving a ton of comp bonus points, largely because of how epically close that HOH comp was at the end. What a finish!

8. John



Comp Bonus Points: 30
Social: 40
Strategic: 0
Showplay: 10
Alliances: N/A
Awards: I don't get it, fan favorite?


John is a male coaster, who the internet loves.

9. Liz


Comp Bonus Points:
Social: 20
Strategic: 30
Showplay: 30
Alliances: Shelltown
Awards: Twin Confusion?


Liz is the twin. I hope she makes it to the reveal, but she's not much of a strategic entity.


10. Jason Roy



Comp Bonus Points: 30
Social: 70
Strategic: 70
Showplay: 120
Alliances: Big One
Awards: Sassymouth


Jason is a fun player. He's Dae's #2. He's great in the DR. He's playing a decent social and strategic game. He's much cooler headed than Dae, and he could keep going after Dae goes.

11. Meg




Comp Bonus Points:
Social: 90
Strategic: 80
Showplay: 30
Alliances: Big One plus,
Awards: Best Player of the Week


I think Meg is currently playing the best game. She's trusted by everyone, and she's in pretty much every alliance. But people aren't on to her. Good for her.

12. Steven



Comp Bonus Points: 40
Social: 30
Strategic: 30
Showplay: 20
Alliances: N/A
Awards: N/A

Steve is likeable, and he's gaining info. We'll see if he can do anything with that information.

13. Shelli




Comp Bonus Points:
Social: 40
Strategic: 30
Showplay: 50
Alliances: Clay
Awards: Showmance

Shelli is attracted to Clay. Not much else to talk about with her game.


14. Vanessa



Comp Bonus Points:
Social: 40
Strategic: 50
Showplay:10
Alliances: Sleeper Cell
Awards: Jumping off my Pre-Season Pick


Vanessa is playing a pretty solid game right now. She's doing the best of the Outsiders, but I need to see her to more before I go back to endorsing her as a winner pick.


15. Jeff


Comp Bonus Points:
Social: 40
Strategic: 60
Showplay: 10
Alliances: Big One plus
Awards: Meh

He's a loud aggressive player, but he's doing okay right now.


16. Jackie




Comp Bonus Points:
Social: 30
Strategic: 20
Showplay: 10
Alliances: Sort of?
Awards: Big Brother Crush


She's hot, but Meh in terms of entertainment.
