Tom's Take

We've got another season of Big Brother to watch and argue over! Yay!

Sis is going to be your coaster this season. I fully expect her to go very far, possibly even be the f3 goat of the season, but I am not expecting much from her game. Hopefully she proves me wrong, but from what I saw week 1, I wouldn't bet on it.

1st Week Prediction: 4th Place


2. Bella

Bella is so messy. It's fun, and will likely speed up the downfall of Gr8tful, but it is bad gameplay this early.

Week 1 Prediction: 11th place


3. Christie

Christie was incredibly messy in her first week, and I can't imagine people really trusting her long term, however she did stumble upon a good move in getting rid of Ovi and his Nightmare power, and she has Tommy to bail her out, so I actually think she's go pretty far.

1st Week Prediction: 6h Place

4. Jack

The Aquaman lookalike is the biggest douchebag on the show. Unfortunately WE don't control who goes home, which means Jack will probably stick around much longer than we'd all like. But his inevitable downfall will be glorious.

1st Week Prediction: 10th Place


5. Jackson

Jackson is another Douche, but I think he's set up better than Jack himself is.

1st Week Prediction: 5th Place

6. Kemi

Despite really not doing anything, Kemi is the house target, which leaves most of us on the outside to assume it is a race thing. The nastiness of the shit talking behind Kemi's back seems to support that. I like Kemi, but I don't think she really has a chance unfortunately.

1st Week Prediction: 14th Place

7. David

Welcome to BB21. I'm excited to see you, and rooting for you to come back to make up for your being evicted too soon in a dumb night 1 eviction. The biggest upside of Camp Comeback is getting to see David on feeds.

16th Place (For Now)

8. Cliff

Yes, despite not being in a great position, I think Cliff is actually one of the better players in the house as evidenced by him getting veto'd from his week 1 nomination. I think Cliff knows the role he has to play to make it far in this game, and has the ability to play it well. I just don't think the role is a winning one.

1st Week Prediction: 3rd Place

9. Nick

Playing a somewhat cleaner game than Bella, I think is still too messy of a player to really do well in this game, and he's a little too caught up in ogling the girls. He is being set up to be the rival to Jack within the Gr8tful alliance, and I think he manages to take Jack out before he follows promptly right after, and they spend the summer in jury together.

1st Week Prediction: 9th Place

10. Ovi

Oh poor Ovi. He seems like such a nice guy, and he was completely duped by the Gr8tful alliance this first week. Him coming back would be nice for Nicole, so I'm somewhat rooting for it, but he needs to step up his game.

15th Place (For Now)

11.  Jessica

Our annual women's alliance organizer, like most who came before her Jessica is a victim of trusting a woman who she shouldn't have; in this case Bella. Jessica seems nice, but also out of her depth when it comes to this game.

1st Week Prediction: 13th Place

12. Nicole

Somehow, I've ended up all in rooting for the girl who preseason talked about locking her parents up in the basement. I think the fact that I'm rooting for her so hard is probably cursing her to a 6-8th place finish, but I enjoy Nicole and her attempts to work her way into the majority without selling out the underdogs.

1st Week Prediction: 7th Place


13. Sam

Sam has some genuine skill. I think it would be a mistake to underestimate him. And I don't expect Tommy to make that mistake. As soon as Came Comeback is gone, I expect Sam to be sent packing.

1st Week Prediction: 12th Place

14. Tommy

Awards: Best Player of the Week

Coming in knowing someone is a pretty big advantage, but Tommy has taken advantage of it, and inserted himself in the majority alliance, then drilling down into the smaller core alliance, and making sure he is surrounded by people who are bigger threats than him. Tommy played a great first week, and has done the best job of setting himself to make a deep deep run into this game.

1st Week Prediction: Winner

15. Kat

"Are you bitches conspiring against me?" LOL. Classic.

1st Week Prediction: 8th Place

16. Holly

Holly is another player who is doing pretty much everything right. She's catty and unlikeable to the audience, but she's done a good job of making relationships in the house. Its possible she gets bounched instead of Kat in the mid game, but I think Holly unlike Kat has some genuine talent at the game to go pretty far.

1st Week Prediction: 2nd Place
