Chanel #3’s Season 3 Cast Assessment

So we ended up losing Lauren which sucks because I think her strategy was amusing. Too bad everyone in this cast wants to be such a square. The only upside is that this gave rise to Momo and his drunken reign of terror.

Anyway, here are my rankings for the round (based on how much I like them as a viewer, not based on how well I think they’re doing). Please note that this ranking is a hot mess because I do believe some of the inactive players who never joined are more entertaining that some houseguests still in, oops.

#1 Hailey Burns [-]

#2 Rose the Hat [-]

#3 Klaus Hargreeves: Even when he has no power at all this round, him shamelessly using his immunity just raises all kinds of red flags and everyone in this game should be worried about trusting him long term. He is such a mess in the game but I will continue to support him since he’s the most obvious threat in the game and if he makes finals he should definitely win (that is, unless he has a horrific jury performance). [-]

#4 Momo: Such a random winner this round and this came out of nowhere but you know what, why not. I am glad he won and hopefully he used this to secure some safety. His nomination speech cracked me up and I wish he was more confident in his speech but you know what, I can’t even complain. Such a gem this round. He seems like such a frantic player who is probably always on the edge and I hope he is able to take out a few threats a la Vanessa Rousso. [-]

#5 Riku [-]

#6 Shelli Poole: This veto queen stayed under the radar and rightfully so since I am sure a lot of eyes were on her. It seems like she was able to assimilate back into the fold so I am not too concerned about her here. The only downside this round is that she seemed to enjoy that stupid horse movie a little too much I am guessing she can relate somehow. I hate her and her stupid rural pastimes. Bye. [-]

#7 Lauren Jauregui [-]

#8 Kam: Total robot this round. She has blended in so much into the background that I forgot she was still being an UTR threat. I still think she is playing a solid game though. Nobody seems to feel threatened by her yet. If only they knew what a badass she will inevitably become. [-]

#9 Barney Stinson: For someone who has not ever been on the right side of the numbers, it seems as though he is doing better at integrating himself with the other houseguests. He has not been nominated in a while despite being an easy scapegoat. I want to see him win something soon though. If he does not, then I can see him deliberately throwing challenges and that would be awful. [-]

#10 Rue Bennett: Rue finally got nominated which was surprising considering she had always been on my list of potential winners. She had not done anything particularly wrong but if Momo is going to use his Head of Household the best way he can, he might as well take down a threat with him. I did love, though, the fact that she defended herself with the renom speech so that if she does survive, she has done damage control with not just him, but with the entire house. Unfortunately it was all for naught, as she ended up getting unanimously evicted. I guess her social game was not as solid as I had thought. [-]

#11 Elizaveta Tuktamysheva: The fact that her sassy demand from the endurance competition is lasting until now. She really does have everyone in check, doesn’t she? I cannot wait for her to be nominated and on the block and demanding people to use the power of veto on her. I hope she is the true mastermind of the season and she discards anyone after they have served their use. [-]

#12 David Rose: David and his double vote snaking their way deep into the game <3 I feel like he is probably overthinking how he can use this power to save himself in the game, and if that’s the case, good job because it means we can expect some great antics of it either working in his favor and getting rid of an annoying threat or it will backfire epicly on him and we get to see the falling out. [-]

#13 Patrick Star: Patrick has a very interesting way to express his appreciation in the game. Everything he says sounds very OTT positive. “Congratulations on winning HOH Momo!” “Aw it’s okay for nominating me, you still did great!” “Guyz, thanks for evicting me! I love you all!” I find this extremely confusing. Maybe he gets off on this. He ended up staying over Rue which is just tragic. Maybe he is better socially than I had thought. That or people love his schmoozing. [-]

#14 Maggie Pierce [+2]

#15 Ariana Grande: Ariana continues to sink lower and lower in this game. She does not provide anything useful except maybe her little annoying colloquialisms. She can go. [-1]

#16 Peter Griffin: Peter is yet another one that has not really done anything and is just there. Again, the fact that these players signed up as cartoons is probably why I cannot take them seriously. I dislike Patrick for the same reason, except he’s at least won stuff *shrugs* [-1]

#17 Daniele Donato: George did not do anything at all this round, yet again. Such a shocker. When is he going to come back into the game and start playing? Fortunately at this point it’s kind of expected for him to lounge around like a walrus out of water while everyone else attempts to play the game. [-]

#18 Justin Trudeau [-]

#19 Hermann Rorschach [-]

#20 Winston Hines [-]

#21 Bea Miller: Queen of not doing anything noteworthy still except winning Power of Veto which was a total shock. Her parents must have let her play in this challenge despite being grounded for being boring. Imagine how legendary it would be if she did not vote here and she was more likely to be safe if she didn’t win veto. A girl can only dream. [-]

After Momo decided to randomly target Rue and take out a threat, karma decided to come at him. Well you know what they say about karma. Momo deserved better. Such a boring predictable round but of course we had Momo here to dish out the tea.

Anyway, here are my rankings for the round (based on how much I like them as a viewer, not based on how well I think they’re doing). Please note that this ranking is a hot mess because Momo leaving casts the biggest shadow on the game.

#1 Hailey Burns [-]

#2 Rose the Hat [-]

#3 Momo: Momo continues to provide the entertainment here, whether it’s drama or just hilarity in general. He gets this stigma of being untrustworthy but I assume it’s just everyone else seeing their own shadiness manifest into an easy martyr. Momo is not going to pick up with this and he calls it out exactly the way he sees it. And everyone avoiding it is hilarious too. There’s probably some stock in what he’s saying so people are freaking out. It’s unfortunate that people decided to screw him over. I will miss his trolling of the cast though. I hope he decides to say it’s his birthday for the battle back so he’d appreciate the chance to come back. Yip yip. Can someone plz rig him back in? [+1]

#4 Klaus Hargreeves: Despite being the shadiest guy last round, people still decided to keep him around despite him not winning any challenges or having any sort of immunity. It’s a testament to how well his social game is though. It’s also possible people are stringing him along for now. Either way, I’m sure the gamebot in him is constantly paranoid so I cannot wait to see him freak out when he feels he is in ~any~ sort of danger. [-1]

#5 Riku [-]

#6 Shelli Poole: Shelli continues to slip by completely unnoticed this round. She avoids nominations and even after Momo spazzes out, she is only mentioned once in passing. She’s going completely under the radar and probably just laughing to herself as everyone else is thrown under the bus. Queen. Continue this UTR domination plz. [-]

#7 Lauren Jauregui [-]

#8 Elizaveta Tuktamysheva: This goddess has also been shown to be playing the game masterfully, at least according to Momo which is probably the equivalent of a drunk guy telling a woman she’s hot. Maybe it doesn’t mean much but clearly Momo thinks she is playing a great game so at least that’s some kind of sign she is at least doing stuff behind the scenes. I knew her bitchy requests to stay off the block had some merit. Avoiding elimination through intimidation <3 [+3]

#9 David Rose: David winning both Head of Household and the Power of Veto has shown that this man can certainly hold his own in challenges and has been waiting for the right moment to strike. Unfortunately he decides to ~waste~ his reign on r beautiful Momo so I can’t help but feel like we need to slash his tires but I also think it only reinforces my belief all season that he is definitely playing dumber than he actually is. Hopefully he is the one to take out King Klaus but if not, hopefully his lips are not attached to him by the butthole. [+3]

#10 Barney Stinson: Barney seems to have joined the dark side, which is unfortunate but I guess it also shows that he is playing the game. He has an association with Klaus now, so hopefully that’s just a ruse until he is able to stab him in the back. But right now he seems to be out of the spotlight which is probably for the best. I hope he is not screwed over by Klaus later in the game. If he is, I will riot. [-1]

#11 Kam: Kam is wonderful but literally keeps getting buried in the background. Strategic queen. Unfortunately it’s boring. Can you sass people more the way you sassed Rose when her floppy cheekbones were evacuating the dance floor? Thanks. [-3]

#12 Patrick Star: Finally his whole Stepford wife persona is crumbling down. Everyone keeps congratulating him and he keeps congratulating everyone else. They can run over his cat and he is the first to say “omg congratulations!” I am glad Momo dragged him and was relieved to finally see some personality come out a bit. He was not buying anything that Momo was selling, but I am pleasantly surprised that Momo could even make him crack a bit. I hope Patrick’s role this season is being the creepy nice guy who is secretly stabbing people in the back. Could make for a hilarious narrative. [+1]

#13 Rue Bennett [-3]

#14 Maggie Pierce [-]

#15 Peter Griffin: Peter also kinda fizzled out too. He has not done anything interesting since he stayed up all night. I feel like he is probably another Klausbot though. [+1]

#16 Ariana Grande: For some reason I thought she was already booted. So irrelevant. Can you do something interesting and/or bitchy? [-1]

#17 Daniele Donato: George is so boring that even when there is finally drama concerning him, he is barely mentioned and not even a major issue for anyone to worry about. But he is definitely the little engine that could. I see him trying to stay active enough but he is falling short. By a landslide. Poor George. Still have hope for you but you’re just a small fish in an ocean of sharks. [-]

#18 Justin Trudeau [-]

#19 Hermann Rorschach [-]

#20 Winston Hines [-]

#21 Bea Miller: Bea continues to stay in the game by being nominated. I really do hope that when she is eligible to vote, she completely messes that up and is shamelessly evacuated. She is just so awful this season. It’s hard for me to respect her when she misses two voting deadlines. It sucks when someone like this is staying over someone like Momo. Yea, I guess I am a little salty. But nobody wants to lug around extra baggage. [-]

So after Klaus has spent so much time orchestrating everyone’s evictions and making his own target bigger, it seems as though karma has finally caught up to him and he sees himself shamefully walking out the front door.

Anyway, here are my rankings for the round (based on how much I like them as a viewer, not based on how well I think they’re doing). Please note that this ranking is a hot mess because Klaus is the last remaining person who was always a target from day one and anyone else now only got it after

#1 Hailey Burns [-]

#2 Rose the Hat [-]

#3 Momo [-]

#4 Klaus Hargreeves: This whole pre-jury game has basically been the narrative about the rise and fall of Klaus Hargreeves. From annoying daily poster to underdog champion to sketchy villain to dominating powerhouse, this game has been a whirlwind for our boy. I actually do empathize with him because at the end of the day I appreciate people who play the game and are not afraid of having a target on their back. Unfortunately it’s such a risky strategy because by doing that, it puts you in jeopardy of leaving. Granted, I am not saying he was a saint by any means. That random immunity ass pull was the worst thing he could have done and then the way he justified it was worse. It just made himself an even bigger target but I digress. I am upset that he has gone too soon. Maybe he and Rose can fight in pre-jury. The Peter/Buffy of this season, minus the one-sidedness. [-]

#5 Elizaveta Tuktamysheva: I knew this queen was someone I could get behind. Momo threw her under the bus before he left for good and she decided to call him out and basically quash all these negative rumors about her so she can continue to sneak by in this game. So then HOH rolls around and she dominates and does not bat an eye as she fearlessly nominates Kam and Klaus. Such an Amazon goddess. Then she wins veto and does not budge at all and keeps it the same. She came, she stayed, and she conquered. Much respect! So far my top pick for everyone still in the game. Can she maintain this control though or is she going to mess it up like so many others before her? [+3]

#6 Riku [-1]

#7 Shelli Poole: Queen of not even being a visible target despite winning her fair share of vetos. Rose, take note of how to get away with it. This round is going to be tough because let’s be real, this was all about Eliza but I am content with Shelli being her eventual nemesis, at least in my narrative. Will she slay the dragon or will she also get burned? [-1]

#8 Lauren Jauregui [-1]

#9 David Rose: Another potential dark horse just waiting in the shadows. He still has that double vote, let’s not forget. Anyway I am not 100% sure about his allegiance to Klaus in this game but if he really is on the outs, I think he might have the charisma to flip things in his favor. Unfortunately Klaus throwing out names on his way out does not really help him since obviously people are going to try to do damage control. That’s why you mention it in private but oh well. I feel like this isn’t his first time exposing people on his way out. Hopefully David does not fumble around cluelessly. This is your chance to make a move. Do some damage control and make yourself useful to others so they wanna keep you. Then you can stab their backs ^_^ [-]

#10 Barney Stinson: Barney has not really done anything lately and it seemed like he did bunker up with Klaus. That’s not necessarily a bad thing though. He did the smart thing in aligning with the enemy but it seems as though people rebelled against him anyway. I hope he had some foresight about this or else he is going to have yet another uphill battle. If not, maybe he can use the same antics he used to bond with Klaus to bond with the angry mob. I believe in you Barnz. [-]

#11 Peter Griffin: Peter is playing many sides apparently which just seems obvious. I mean Peter literally stayed up so late in the endurance competition when he should have dropped. Why are people barely catching on that he had ulterior motives? That was obvious since ~at least~ that challenge, and that is just from the outsider perspective. I imagine that playing in the game would offer more insight. I applaud you for evading detection but that’s probably more because Klaus isn’t very bright rather than you being sneaky. [+4]

#12 Ariana Grande: Ariana is exposed as a snake to everyone. Look, I know I haven’t been exactly the biggest Ariana stan in these blogs but I do not understand how people are going to be upset about her lying when they have also done their fair share of lying. Klaus thinks it’s the worst thing in the world after the whole Judas betrayal but did he not blindside Rose the other day? Pot, meet kettle. That being said, Ariana is still useless. But I do love the fact that she is starting to become the femme fatale and if she continues to ~viciously~ lie to other players in this game, I might actually become a fan. But I want her to win something. Doing nothing all season and then lying to a big threat about keeping them when someone else nominates them does not constitute as good gameplay, just common sense. I want to like you. But be proactive. Win a veto or something innocuous like that. [+4]

#13 Patrick Star: Thank goodness he changed that annoying avatar he had previously. That’s pretty much the only relevant thing he has done this round so there’s that. All things considered, I wouldn’t say he’s done too bad since he hasn’t been nominated and it seems like anyone who wins Head of Household basically has a hit on them. [-1]

#14 Rue Bennett [-1]

#15 Maggie Pierce [-1]

#16 Daniele Donato: George still has not done anything except people are randomly questioning his loyalty now and I find it amusing because I feel like it shouldn’t be that hard to keep track of someone who hasn’t done much in this game? Anyway I still don’t consider myself a fan yet until he wins something so yea. I hope everyone gets confused about his true allegiances though and randomly target him. That would be hilarious too. [+1]

#17 Justin Trudeau [+1]

#18 Hermann Rorschach [+1]

#19 Winston Hines [+1]

#20 Bea Miller: Called out publicly for being a goat which is amazing but also bad gameplay. Why would you question her loyalty and then call her a goat and say you planned to work with her even though you do not know for sure if she voted to keep you? Seems like bad gameplay but hilarious that she is finally getting the public recognition she deserves. At least you actually want to be in here though. [+1]

#21 Kam: The fact that she basically threw in the towel really puts a dent in her legacy here because I thought she was doing well socially. She’s been going down in my rankings lately but I attribute that to other people being bigger hot messes than her. I still gave her the benefit of the doubt and if she made a nice play she could have easily skyrocketed towards the top. Unfortunately she admitted she’s done with this game which sucks as a competitor because I appreciate people fighting to the very end even if their backs are against the wall. This is devastating to hear and it’s going to take some really good gameplay to bring her back up. Still love you though, on a human level, because clearly you’re compassionate. But I hate you on a game level <3 [-10]

ROUND NINE

Returned: Klaus | Rose
Head of Household: Ariana
Pre-Veto Nominations: Barney | David
Power of Veto: David
Post-Veto Nominations: Barney | Bea
Evicted: Bea (5-4)
Voting Breakdown: A vote doubler was used and a vote nullifier was used.

So that awful battle back competition happened again and well, we have two of my favorites back in the game! Let’s get to it!

Anyway, here are my rankings for the round (based on how much I like them as a viewer, not based on how well I think they’re doing). Please note that this ranking is a hot mess because we have two people returning and they were my favorites before and now it’s a mess all over.

#1 Hailey Burns [-]

#2 Rose the Hat: This queen has returned back into the game and even though I am rooting for her to absolutely steamroll through the competition, I cannot help but feel as though she is going to be even more on the outs than when she first was in the house. People wanted her gone for a reason and that was because she was a challenge threat. They are for sure going to try that again, even if any of them were aligned with her before. They might try to weaponize her to target others, but she is going to be on the bottom of everyone’s totem pole. The smart thing for her at this point would be to work with Klaus and really flip things upside down. Hopefully they can both take the vibrator out of their asses and play smart. [-]

#3 Momo [-]

#4 Klaus Hargreeves: If Rose is the queen then Klaus is the king. I am glad he is back. I think he and Rose complete each other like yin yang. Rose is great at competitions, suck at social. And he is opposite - great at social, sucks at competitions. They complement each other well so it would be wise for them to actually work together instead of trying to take each other out. They can do that later, but it seems like the only people being evicted are either total inactives or people who are winning things. Everyone else is riding the middle and getting far because of it. I cannot wait to see how he comes back into the game knowing people had been wanting him gone, and the fact that he and Rose both have to get integrated into the cast is even more epic. Do they set aside their differences or do they just continue their little war for dominance? Hopefully we see a bit of both. [-]

#5 Elizaveta Tuktamysheva: After making one of the biggest moves of this season, this goddess decides to withdraw back into the cocoon she gloriously came out of and bide her time until the next time she has to cut some throats. Love that she was in absolutely no danger this round, not with Ariana in control. By default I am rooting for her to win, especially if she makes finals with Klaus or Rose, simply because she was not voted out. If she ends up being the master manipulator this season, I am so down. Right now Klaus is back in so I am sure the gears are turning on how to get him evicted. Not sure about her relationship with Rose but hopefully she at least tries to use her as a loose cannon and just direct it at her opposition. Come on you puppeteer. You can do it. [-]

#6 Riku [-]

#7 Shelli Poole: The original UTR queen. She has not been in major danger for a while and one of the few people to win challenges before and still not getting targeted. She’s in the background these days but that’s good considering how much of a hate boner everyone else gets for people who do well in challenges. I imagine she will do the smart thing and just let everyone aggressively take each other out while she is in the background making out with Clay or something. I think she’s technically in a better position than Elizaveta since she is going to be seen as the head of the alliance while Shelli is more subdued. If they made finals together, honestly that would be such an iconic final two. I can respect both gameplays. I just need her to build her resume just a little more so it can be suspenseful. [-]

#8 David Rose: This man is now the love of my life. Move over Kway. I love how he saves himself from the block and then calls out Ariana for being such a shady diva. Totally unnecessary but also very hilarious. I think he is doing fine socially and honestly from his posts he sounds like a smart one who plays very maturely. I understand where he is coming from in regards to the level of lying people need to have when it comes to these games but he also forgets this game inspires a lot of people to make all these moves for the sake of making moves. People are going to want to lie for no reason because they get too excited. I personally don’t get it and that’s why I’m on his side. The amazing thing would be for him to target Ariana but I also feel like she is just a front. He needs to go after the true power and not their spokesperson. I just wish he did not apologize for his posts though. He’s justified in expressing himself and Ariana totally made it worse than it really was. [+1]

#9 Barney Stinson: Barney was doing so well and then of course Klaus leaving last round drew such a larger target on him. This is why I do not care for those dumb blowups that people seem to love all of a sudden. Anyway, he was nominated with his buddy David which is just awful for everyone with a soul/heart but not for the random gingers like Ariana. Anyway I thought he was going to be the vote but surprisingly he stayed in a super close 5-4 vote. That man knows how to avoid getting axed. I thought he was a goner against Bea. I’m glad I was wrong. Stay strong Barney. [+1]

#10 Ariana Grande: Ariana freaking out on people like a banshee <3 I love that she won something finally and decided to nominate two people who are playing a UTR game. Her little argument with David is amusing but I do think she is randomly blowing certain things out of proportion. I think he wins this time but I love that she is finally showing some sass. She seems to be a hot mess and honestly I still don’t see her as an immediate threat in the game. She could easily make it further in the game and hopefully she engages in more random fights and exhibit more lulzy outbursts. [+2]

#11 Lauren Jauregui [-3]

#12 Peter Griffin: Peter stays out of harms way yet again and continues to get further by doing nothing. Maybe he is like Ariana and is waiting for the right moment to strike. His whole schtick is getting stale though so hopefully he randomly wins something and makes a meaningful move instead of capitalizing on everyone taking each other out. Good strategy, boring to watch. [-1]

#13 Patrick Star: So glad he’s been on mute this round. Still annoys me a great deal since he was the HOH who booted the amazing Lauren machine. So sexist. I mean he is so quiet I don’t see anyone targeting him for a while. Ugh why must the boring people be so UTR? [-]

#14 Rue Bennett [-]

#15 Maggie Pierce [-]

#16 Daniele Donato: Take George out of the season and literally the whole season unravels exactly the same way. There has been nothing game-changing about him this season and I bet it continues until the very end where he wakes up in finals randomly. [-]

#17 Justin Trudeau [-]

#18 Hermann Rorschach [-]

#19 Winston Hines [-]

#20 Bea Miller: Most useless person in the cast and she can’t even fulfill her role as the goat correctly. She should be ashamed. I’m sure you’re nice in real life but girl, let’s forget this game ever happened with you xo. [-]

#21 Kam: For some reason I thought she already left the game after her quitting attempt. She has not done anything this round and I have the uneasy feeling she is going to get so deep into the game after all the obvious threats go. I hate it when an octopus washes up on shore and does nothing. Do something plz. I guess I would respect it more if I knew she was actively trying to win but the whole quitting thing still left a bitter taste in my mouth. Maybe it’s all a trick and she wanted to Fairplay us all. [-]

The irony of both returnees coming back and winning these challenges and guaranteeing their safety. Interesting turn of events. There’s a reason why they had been evicted and this is a reminder of why they should have been blocked from coming back in.

Anyway, here are my rankings for the round (based on how much I like them as a viewer, not based on how well I think they’re doing). Please note that this ranking is a hot mess because it just is, okay!

#1 Hailey Burns [-]

#2 Elizaveta Tuktamysheva: Somehow our heroine manages to stay off the block even though she had been the one to single handedly eliminate the Head of Household. Thank goodness for her clutch immunity win. Her social game continues to amaze me and I think she is playing brilliantly. I have so much respect for her as a player and hopefully she can laugh her way to finals while everyone else eliminates each other. [+3]

#3 Rose the Hat: Rose secured herself with an important veto win and prevented someone from blindsiding her (yes they did it once before, why not do it again?) Not sure how well she’s integrated back with the group but for now I guess she should do what she does best and just win out some of these early competitions. She does need to find a plan for her long term though. Otherwise her and her floppy cheekbones will be flopping their way out soon. [-1]

#4 Klaus Hargreeves: King of returning <3 He immediately decides to target the quieter players which I think is an interesting choice. I mean he had been evicted before, maybe he should be going after the bigger players who got him evicted before. Then again, that was my mistake last season and we all saw what happened there. I hope he does not regret wasting his reign on small fish. I think he does benefit from there being a lot of bigger targets in his alliance though. If he can survive a few rounds I think he’s set to making it even further. I just wonder how long it will take before the gamebot in him starts getting anxious again. [-]

#5 Momo [-2]

#6 Riku [-]

#7 Shelli Poole: I cannot believe she got nominated this round when the smarter player would have nominated Elizaveta instead who is definitely the more prevalent threat or at least Ariana since she was immune. Shelli is probably dangerous as well, but putting her up next to George guarantees that she stays. Such a waste of a round. But great news for Shelli. She still has a chance to slay all her haters. I have faith in you <3 [-]

#8 David Rose: I still wish he owned up to his stance in his heated discussion with Ariana. After he apologized Ariana still has the audacity to say its insincere. I’m glad he decides to take the higher road afterwards but imagine how amazing it would have been if he never succumbed to his human emotions. He had nothing to apologize for. I cannot wait to see more from him. Now that he doesn’t have his double vote I am interested to see if he can rely on his social game and challenge prowess to advance. If not, I hope he randomly fights with someone again and hopefully he actually feels no remorse. [-]

#9 Barney Stinson: Barney is so criminally underrated in this game when it comes to strategy and overall entertainment. I find him enjoyable from a gamer perspective and from a viewer perspective. Unfortunately he has so many other people in the spotlight as well but I do think he’s a solid character. His posts last round were fun and this round he did not have to do much. I think he can easily slip by because the others are too busy to realize he’s a threat. [-]

#10 Ariana Grande: I do not know where this vocal Ariana came from but I absolutely love it. Yeah I find her mostly obnoxious from a viewer and gamer standpoint. She hid in the shadows the whole pre-jury time so I found her boring beforehand, plus that strategy is frustrating to deal with. I prefer louder personalities but I guess that’s not always smarter. But now I think she has potential to make this season even more of a mess and the fact that she was not nominated this last round only reinforces the fact that she is just the spokesperson. There are definitely bigger fish to fry (even though I do not necessarily agree with the HOH’s choices but I will attribute that to his drunkenness). I am curious to see how her narrative unfolds. [-]

#11 Lauren Jauregui [-]

#12 Rue Bennett [+2]

#13 Peter Griffin: He has not done anything proactive and I am starting to grow bored of him. Do we really have to sit through him doing nothing all season long before he is unceremoniously evicted? He is probably going to outlast the actual gamers this season. He reminds me of Spongebot last season but at least Millie is actually awesome. This guy, yeah right. [-1]

#14 Patrick Star: I am still waiting for Patrick to just randomly snap. He has not delivered as many OTTP inspirational messages for people and I am growing weary. What is he doing in the background? Is he secretly a murderer? I can see him smiling as he kidnaps his victims. “You have such a great scream! Keep it up! You’re doing such a great job!” I think a few more rounds and we might see psycho insane Patrick come out. If not, such wasted potential. [-1]

#15 Maggie Pierce [-]

#16 Daniele Donato: George getting nominated is probably the biggest shocker to these people but from an outsider perspective he’s so awful and I am glad people are finally at least wasting their reigns to get him out. It’s such a dumb move in-game but for all the people following it’s a blessing to lose someone as irrelevant as this one. I’m sure he’s cool though, since people obviously wanted to keep him around and he’s not as much of a kissass as Sir Patrick. But for entertainment purposes, he just did not deliver, sorry not sorry. [-]

#17 Justin Trudeau [-]

#18 Hermann Rorschach [-]

#19 Winston Hines [-]

#20 Bea Miller [-]

#21 Kam: Look at her being all alone down in these rankings. I think most of my disdain for her is slowly dissipating and she will probably go up soon but I still want to see her make a move. And I’m not talking about the whole “I’m going to work my magic behind the scenes.” That’s so boring and tacky and I know she has potential to make things interesting, even if she is calling out Rose for being shady. [-]

ROUND ELEVEN/TWELVE

Head of Household: Rose
Pre-Veto Nominations: Ariana | Peter
Power of Veto: Rose
Post-Veto Nominations: Ariana | Peter
Evicted: Ariana (4-2)
Voting Breakdown: Shelli - no vote

Withdrew: Peter
Head of Household: Elizaveta
Pre-Veto Nominations: Kam | Klaus
Power of Veto: Elizaveta
Post-Veto Nominations: Kam | Klaus
Evicted: Klaus (4-1)

Double eviction night. Here. We. Go.

Anyway, here are my rankings for the round (based on how much I like them as a viewer, not based on how well I think they’re doing). Please note that this ranking is a hot mess because I had to consider two rounds worth of game in one week omg.

#1 Hailey Burns [-]

#2 Elizaveta Tuktamysheva: Queen of the second part of tonight. Winning both the Head of Household and the Power of Veto and giving everyone a nice friendly reminder of how capable she is. Her nominations were the same as the last go-around and she even won both challenges like she did last time. Iconic. She also gave zero F’s about making her big move and being the one to single handedly evict Klaus not once but twice. I never expected to enjoy her as much as I have but she’s proven to be capable and it will be a shame if she leaves anytime soon. [-]

#3 Rose the Hat: Queen of the first part of tonight. Winning both the Head of Household and the Power of Veto AND evicting both of her nominees. Technically I would say she has had the most successful reign as HOH this whole season since both of her evictees left which leaves her with no blood on her hands. This means she should not really have enemies but that is contingent on how insecure everyone else is. I hope this is a promising sign that she can get back into the fold without being the sore thumb. Nobody loves those bad boys. Hopefully she does not have an atrocious social game like she did the first time around. Is anyone really going to want to put trust in someone who picked a villain for this game? I mean come on. [-]

#4 Klaus Hargreeves: In the first round of the night he managed to stay off the block even though he was the one to blindside Rose earlier in the game. So I was half-expecting him to get backdoored, especially since this was a double eviction. But then he wasn’t, which was surprising so I thought he had smoothed things over. And then in the second round his other nemesis nominated him and he was evicted by her yet again. I guess he focused too much on winning over Rose and not focusing on repairing his relationship with Elizaveta. I am sure when he was nominated he went into gamebot overdrive and tried to find a way to stay in the game but nobody was having it. So bummed he left. He was such a paranoid mess. Nobody else can really fill that role this season ugh. [-]

#5 Momo [-]

#6 Riku [-]

#7 Shelli Poole: Shelli voting drunkenly in the first round and basically tossing $50 out the window <3 Such a risky strategy. So bold. So revolutionary. I don’t get it though. I’m glad you managed to survive the chaos that is double eviction, though I am sad we still have not received a letter from your dog. So ~heartbreaking~. [-]

#8 David Rose: Looks like his nemesis was evicted in the first round and he did not really do anything this round except cast his vote against her. I guess that was just a little bit anticlimactic but I am certain he will find someone else he gets annoyed with and hopefully it’s a feud that stretches into the late game. [-]

#9 Barney Stinson: I don’t know how he does it but somehow he has managed to completely escape the radar. He managed to avoid danger from both sides tonight which I think could be a testament to his social game. I feel like he might stick to the shadows for now since he will not have to reveal his hand too much right now. Just come out and entertain us every once in a while plz. [-]

#10 Ariana Grande: Just when I was starting to like her and Rose sealed her fate. Talk about dramatic irony. She brought in so much last minute drama that I can appreciate and she should have stayed over Peter who asked to be evicted, somehow surviving, and basically slapping Ariana in the face by quitting right after her eviction. So much tasteless behavior. Ariana deserved better ugh. And this is coming from somehow who started off indifferent to her. [-]

#11 Kam: Despite her sassy remark to Rose the round she was originally evicted, Kam managed to stay off the block when she won Head of Household. Whatever she is doing, it clearly worked. But then she was nominated the second round by Elizaveta. I think against Klaus she was always going to survive. She managed to keep her cool and this time she didn’t give some awful speech where she threw in the towel. I think now she is back to playing to win so hopefully it turns out she just had a rough night the other day. I just think now she might be on the bottom of her alliance. Who knows though. She is probably the most enigmatic. [+10]

#12 Lauren Jauregui [-1]

#13 Rue Bennett [-1]

#14 Patrick Star: Even after this double eviction night of chaos you have not gone into a murderous rage. Me thinks the time is getting closer and closer. There is no way someone can be that polite and encouraging for that long in a game like this. Is someone in the cast going to wake up with a missing kidney in the morning? Calling it now. Patrick is going to play doctor. [-]

#15 Maggie Pierce [-]

#16 Daniele Donato [-]

#17 Justin Trudeau [-]

#18 Hermann Rorschach [-]

#19 Winston Hines [-]

#20 Bea Miller [-]

#21 Peter Griffin: I have no idea what circumstances he had for leaving the game so I wish him the best. On a game level though, I really dislike when people quit. I do not ~think~ it was anything from outside the game interfering with this, as I think the game is why he left. The only advice is sometimes you just have to ride it out. So many things can change in such a small amount of time whether it’s game-related or just the social environment. I wish you stuck it out and maybe slept on it. It’s easy to get so caught up in the moment. Unfortunately I cannot really justify someone quitting so late in the game sooooo I am going to have to rank you low for that. I’m sure you’re a doll though <3 But yes, you suck for quitting, especially since you were nominated and could have just campaigned for you to go instead of dragging someone else down with you. [-7]

ROUND THIRTEEN

Head of Household: Shelli
Pre-Veto Nominations: Patrick | Rose
Power of Veto: Rose
Post-Veto Nominations: Patrick | Barney
Evicted: Barney (3-2)
Voting Breakdown: Shelli broke the tie

After a tumultuous Double Eviction night, we are back to a straightforward BB night, which is just the calm before the storm since tomorrow is another double.

Anyway, here are my rankings for the round (based on how much I like them as a viewer, not based on how well I think they’re doing). Please note that this ranking is a hot mess because there are seven people left and seven is considered unlucky in some cultures.

#1 Hailey Burns [-]

#2 Elizaveta Tuktamysheva: Did not use any powers or immunities and still managed to stay off the block despite not being able to compete in that veto challenge. This goddess has an aura to her that puts her leagues ahead of everyone else and they cannot do anything else but just sit in their own failure while Elizaveta gloriously radiates rays of sunshine. Amy pointed out that she keeps her nominations brief but I think from a gamer perspective that’s probably the best way to go. You never know when you might need one of your former nominations to do you a solid. And now she has made final six and has done it so flawlessly. [-]

#3 Rose the Hat: Oh wow, I thought she would be safe a little longer but Shelli cut through the BS and nominated her anyway. Extremely bold move which did not really pan out the way she thought it would go since Rose won the veto and of course took herself off the block. Such a queen. And now Rose is probably going to come for Shelli, who cannot compete next round either. Cannot wait to see the wrath of Rose and see her come at Shelli like a velociraptor coming for a child. [-]

#4 Klaus Hargreeves [-]

#5 Shelli Poole: Shelli won the Head of Household competition and straight up nominated Rosequeen which is, while admirable, very dumb. Rose is a huge challenge threat so if you want her to get evicted, you have to blindside her since she has a good chance of staying (example: see Klaus). I mean Shelli probably formed relationships with everyone else though, so she might not want to turn on them just to avoid Rose. So if that’s the reason, it’s a lot more understandable. But now Rose is going to be targeting her the way a racist targets a minority. I hope Shelli can evade elimination though and continue to sneak by <3 They say that all champions are tested at least once in their lifetime. This is it boo. [+2]

#6 Momo [-1]

#7 Riku [-1]

#8 David Rose: Despite engaging in a sass match with Ariana the other day David has managed to slide back under the radar to the point that so many different sides have won Head of Household and have not nominated him. He is either super loyal and people see it or he is playing such a sneaky game and nobody has caught him yet. Whichever angle he is playing, he’s doing well at it and I do not see him being targeted for a while. And even if he were, I don’t think he would have the votes to be taken out. But with double eviction looming, anything is possible... [-]

#9 Barney Stinson: Barney is finally nominated but I find it amusing he was only nominated as a replacement nominee. Me thinks Shelli had a hard time finding a replacement and probably put all her eggs in the “Let’s get Rose out this round” basket. Hopefully she didn’t promise everyone else safety, as that would have been such an awful move. Barney conveniently goes up and does not seem too worried about being the replacement nominee. Is it possible that maybe he volunteered to go on the block? That wouldn’t be very smart. Unfortunately the vote ties and he concedes defeat. Shelli ends up getting him the boot which sucks because I think he had a lot more to offer. Such a gloomy day. [-]

#10 Ariana Grande [-]

#11 Kam: Kam staying under the radar yet again. People are not going to view her as any type of credible threat. Maybe they think they can beat her, maybe they think she does not want to win. Even I am not 100% convinced either way which in my opinion makes her dangerous. I feel like she’s probably a goat at this point but I would not be surprised if she is able to pull off a convincing argument at the end and just demolish everyone. It might be a tough battle, because from what I’ve seen, there hasn’t been a lot of bitter jurors so hopefully she is not relying on be the good cop in a good cop/bad cop situation. Final six is approaching, you need to make a move soon. [-]

#12 Lauren Jauregui [-]

#13 Rue Bennett [-]

#14 Patrick Star: Even when he is nominated it seems like he is just content with that. Not sure if this is a facade or if this is genuinely him. Nobody cares about who you will become best friends with. Gurl think about that month’s worth of rent you’ll have paid off. Will your best friends do that for you? Go on, I’ll wait. Somehow he ends up staying even after the vote tied which makes me question how comfortable he was with Shelli and whether or not he was just a pawn this whole time. His game leaves me with a lot of questions and it’s not necessarily a bad thing. I just prefer being able to understand what’s going on. Maybe he can shed some light on this if he makes finals. I hope he doesn’t schmooze everyone when he makes finals though. I want Psycho Patty to come out. [-]

#15 Maggie Pierce [-]

#16 Daniele Donato [-]

#17 Justin Trudeau [-]

#18 Hermann Rorschach [-]

#19 Winston Hines [-]

#20 Bea Miller [-]

#21 Peter Griffin [-]

The second double eviction night. We are about to lose two more people omg. And wait, this is going to be a final three? Let’s do this!

Anyway, here are my rankings for the round (based on how much I like them as a viewer, not based on how well I think they’re doing). Please note that this ranking is a hot mess because this is another round where two rounds are being squeezed into one.

#1 Hailey Burns [-]

#2 Elizaveta Tuktamysheva: Elizaveta continues to be the one to look out for. She won the first Head of Household of double eviction night and used it to take out the threat in Kam. People might say Kam was not really a threat, but for the game Elizaveta is playing, Kam is clearly not anyone she intends to work with and she has some kind of relationship with everyone else so she’s going to use that in her favor. Why surround yourself with people who don’t want to work with you? I have no issue with her being the one to get Kam evicted, though I do think she probably preferred David to go this round. Despite being the one who actually nominated Kam, Kam does not drag her upon leaving. Elizaveta’s jury management is impressive. I do not think she has legitimately annoyed anyone at all so I think she has the best chance at winning. Even when the second round comes about, she manages to be the only one to avoid the nomination chair. She has played all these angles well without coming off as a sloppy player. She is playing a solid game, probably the best one out of everyone left. I think the final three twist both helps and hurts her. She has the best chance of winning so it might make her a threat to everyone and they will absolutely not keep her if she’s on the block. But that brings me to the good news. She just needs to win one of two challenges. Her odds are looking good. Unfortunately Shelli and Rose are tough competitors. But she’s also held her own in challenges. I really hope she makes finals so she can rightfully win <3 [-]

#3 Rose the Hat: Rose somehow managed to stay off the block in the first round of the double eviction despite not winning the Head of Household which was surprising. She’s the type of player you want gone in a double eviction. So the fact she stayed in, that was interesting. But somehow her cheekbones were too wide to fit on the nomination chair and we were stuck with Kam and David. Then she did not win the Power of Veto and that was the perfect time to blindside her. And nope. She stayed off. Goddess. Then the second round starts and Shelli wins so of course Rose gets nominated. But she saves herself with the veto yet again. Rose just will not die in this game. She’s won so many vetoes to secure her safety, and now that it’s a final three, I think she has a better chance at making finals, but I also think she has less of a chance to actually win. Her biggest threats to win are probably Elizaveta and maybe even Patrick. It’s still too early to tell. I am intrigued to see her jury strategy. I think she’s played an amazing game but again, the fact she was evicted already is definitely going to bite her in the ass. It’s too big of a factor to not consider, especially when there are two other people who haven’t been evicted who have played effective games. She needs to start working on her sales pitch. But hey even if she does not win, at least she has fifty dollars. [-]

#4 Shelli Poole: Oh boy, tonight Shelli was in the spotlight after she tried to butter up Kam for her jury vote but she is playing really hard and nobody is drinking the Koolaid. So she buried herself into such a deep hole with the first part of the double eviction and so here I was thinking she was going to be evicted and then all of a sudden she wins Head of Household for the second part. What a beast. She nominates Rose because she has been actively targeting her for a while now and Rose still in there so it makes sense to put her up. And she nominates Patrick because he basically called her out as a liar which set her off lmao. Queen. She is starting to let her sanity go and she’s becoming a hot mess and I think tonight has basically sank her game to villainess status, but not in a way that the jury can respect. Honestly I do not see anything too flawed with her game except her viciously lying to everyone and condemning them all to hell. Nope, nada. With this final three twist, I do not see her winning the game, unfortunately. The jury seems to be set against her even though she’s the reason they’re there? I’m not calling them bitter or anything but they’re sure not sweet. I do think she played a strong strategic game, always making the right moves to get her as far as she did, but again, that jury management has been kinda bad, which is ironic since she actually tried to do well. I think she might have a bad chance of winning, probably tied with Rose, but if she can pull out an effective jury performance, she could easily turn this around. Come on Shellz. It’s not over until it’s over. [+1]

#5 Klaus Hargreeves [-1]

#6 David Rose: David was so amazing this season and I really did root for him this season. I feel like most of his game was under the radar but he also had such a presence still that sometimes came out when it needed to and I can appreciate that. He was close to being evicted in the first part of the double eviction which gave me anxiety and I thought he was golden when he survived. Unfortunately in the second round Rose was the target but then she won the veto and he ended up being the replacement nominee and Elizaveta/Rose gave him the boot. Ugh, he was robbed tonight. I think he played such a good “hero” game without being obnoxious. I think on paper he did everything right so it’s frustrating as a viewer to see him get evicted. [+2]

#7 Kam: So Kam this round was rudely nominated and subsequently evicted. And her speech as she left was basically everything I had wanted from her the whole season <3 I mean I guess it’s good she did not sass everyone the whole time because she would have been evicted early but she was bottling it up and she just let Shelli have it. Honestly you were so great tonight and it’s good to see you are not a robot. You played great even if my blog is trashing you. Your game was just more subtle. Honestly I want you to roast me post game and I would probably just be honored for you to do that. You know how to give the last word and have the last laugh. Queen. [+4]

#8 Momo [-2]

#9 Riku [-2]

#10 Patrick Star: So this whole season I have given Patrick a lot of crap about his game and how boring he was, and I still stand by that because he was a total robot the whole time. He reminded me of the “Perfect” Spongebob who just creepily smiled at everyone chanting “hi, how are you?” like a lunatic. But after Kam called Shelli out for her buttery goodbye messages, Patrick used this opportunity to draw the line with Shelli, and you know what, I lived for that. Psycho Patty is coming out <3 Sure it might be super late in the game but better late than never. Loved how tonight was just a perfect night for everyone to be honest. Unfortunately it backfired a little since Shelli won the next round but this little sea creature continued to work his magic and stayed in the game even though if he received just ~one~ vote he would have been evicted. And now I think he is guaranteed finals since he’s the least threatening and honesty, with the right setup, I can see him sneaking through with a win. [+4]

#11 Barney Stinson [-2]

#13 Lauren Jauregui [-1]

#14 Rue Bennett [-1]

The final round before the final three present their case to the jury. What a historic time. I will post my thoughts on the round here and I might do one final closing thoughts.

Anyway, here are my rankings for the round (based on how much I like them as a viewer, not based on how well I think they’re doing). Please note that this ranking is a hot mess because this is the last round, t.ears.

#1 Hailey Burns [-]

#2 Elizaveta Tuktamysheva: Coming into this round, this goddess had so much on the line. She is clearly the biggest threat remaining? She has not pissed anyone off, she has not been evicted, and she has played a pretty strategic game without coming off as a total pain in the ass. So coming into this round, I knew she would be in danger if she did not manage to win anything. I think on paper she has played the perfect game and if the jury does not see it, then they are idiots. The Head of Household happens and our queen falls short. Nominations do not matter anyway and Patrick ends up the only one off the block. So this means Elizaveta has one more chance and that’s veto and in a tragic turn of events, she actually ends up not winning ugh. Shelli wins the final veto and she keeps nominations the same. So her fate lies in Patrick’s hands. The man with no emotion. And just when I think it’s over for our queen, Patrick does the dumbest thing the entire season and evicts Rose (who btw was already evicted before). Our girl is now in the final three and I hope she can take the victory home <3 [-]

#3 Rose the Hat: Challenge goddess who has the final four twist work in her favor because all she has to do is win one of two challenges. Seems like Arisa rigged it for her but then the Head of Household is announced and wtf Rose is not the winner. Is she prematurely celebrating or what in the world is happening? How did she not win? Okay so she is nominated, obviously. Not like it matters though. We all know it’s just a formality and it lies in the veto. Maybe she just wanted to cast the sole vote to evict, right? I mean it’s not the best strategy but whatever. Maybe she is just bored. Oh wait lol nvm, Shelli wins veto. And leaves nominations the same. So Rose is staying right? Even though she’s a total challenge beast, she has also been evicted before and as anyone can tell you, that’s such a huge blow to her reputation. Nobody is going to vote for someone who has been evicted already. And then Patrick throws his game away and votes Rose out. What. The. Tickle my Skittle. I really do not think Rose could have been a threat to win the game. Her game was objectively bad since she was given the boot. This is either his best move in the game or his worst and I’ll have to see the jury questioning to fully know for sure. Poor Rose. You deserved at least $50. [-]

#4 Shelli Poole: Shelli winning both competitions tonight <3 That came out of nowhere but I am not surprised she was able to pull it off. She’s been downplaying her challenge prowess all season so it was only fitting that the most important round she would go full force. She secured her own safety with the first win and then for whatever reason she thought she had to win the veto challenge. The only reason I can see her going so hard for this is she wanted to prevent Rose from winning this challenge. Again, so many people do not want Rose to make finals but her game is inherently flawed. Otherwise, I could see Shelli just throwing this final veto. I think she has played a pretty strong game that I don’t think a lot of the jury is going to respect since they seem to take the lies personally. Not sure how much betrayal Shelli did, but it must be enough to warrant such hostility. I think coming into the final three she has the lowest chance of winning but I also think she’s the one with the most potential to flip the vote in her favor. Again, it just depends on how bitter the jury is. She voted you out of an online game, she didn’t murder your cat, Karen. [-]

#5 Klaus Hargreeves [-]

#6 David Rose [-]

#7 Kam [-]

#8 Momo [-]

#9 Riku [-]

#10 Barney Stinson [+1]

#11 Ariana Grande [+1]

#12 Lauren Jauregui [+1]

#13 Patrick Star: Oh Patty, what am I going to do with you? Last round you were such a force and I thought you were finally becoming interesting when you did not care for any of the nonsense Shelli was selling you. But then tonight was a total fail. You didn’t win any challenges which was expected. I mean you totally almost had the HOH but then Arisa/Cent pulled a last minute riggage stunt to keep things fresh I guess and you were stripped of your win. So even though you do not win that final veto, somehow you are blessed with making the biggest move of the game. You have two targets in front of you. Rose, challenge beast who has a giant demerit against her in the form of an eviction notice tacked onto her floppy cheekbones. And Elizaveta, strategic goddess who has not really done anything too bad in the game to piss anyone off and more importantly has not been evicted. That’s the equivalent of having two steaks to choose from. One delicious looking one with a giant gross mold infestation on it and an average looking one that actually tastes better than it looks. And you choose to eat the moldy one? What is wrong with you? That could have been a move to add to your resume but you decide to add the Rose boot to your resume even though Klaus did that first (hay boo<3). As I mentioned above, this could either be the best move in the game or the worst move, depending on how the jury would have voted. From the outside it looks like such a drunk move. Let’s see if the payoff is worth it. Maybe I’m wrong. [-3]

FINAL CAST ASSESSMENT

Anyway, here are my final thoughts on everyone for the overall game. Again, if your feelings get hurt, sorry not sorry.

First Evicted: Justin Trudeau - Justin made very little impact in this game. The only redeeming quality is that he was at least properly evicted. Plus his eviction allowed Kam to set up her social game so it’s not a total loss. But I think I found more use from a used toothbrush. Thanks for joining last minute though. I attribute your inactivity to having to join last minute so thanks for helping Kathy at least.

Expelled: Winston Hines - Awful for not even showing up and awful for picking such an awful character. So glad we were spared from your awful antics and should I just repeat awful fifty more times to drill it in?

Expelled: Hermann Rorschach - So much wasted potential. This could have been all kinds of Russel Brand-flavored drama but we were robbed of this wonderful opportunity. I expected you to mind screw everyone with your highly intensive psychosis but no, the closest we had to that was Patrick bottling up his murderous tendencies.

Second Evicted: Maggie Pierce - Overall pretty much irrelevant but I will never forget Hailey basically tanking your game by thinking you’re a real life nurse just because you chose Maggie which ended up just painting a large target on your back. You never really had a chance and we were robbed from seeing your potential. Your existence and your association with Hailey Burns was one of the highlights of the early season and at least you went out for something out of your control instead of being totally irrelevant (example: see above).

Third Evicted: Hailey Burns - Such a hot mess of a player but you provided the laffos this season so I am glad we got to experience that, even if it were short-lived. You’re the true star this season. Once you left everybody was a gamebot. I guess once everyone knew you were gone, they knew that they had to fight to stay in the game since you were such a monumental figure and if you could get evicted then anyone can get evicted. I’m glad you never put up with anyone’s nonsense and you were yourself the whole time. Never change.

Fourth Evicted: Riku - I am still pissed that Rose rudely orchestrated your demise. You had potential to be such a force this season and that was cut short all because Rose is clearly a misandrist. I thought your ridiculously tall avatar was hilarious and definitely made everyone else in the game feel small (rightfully so, they’re all peasants when you’re around). Your eviction basically led to a domino effect of challenge beasts being evicted so thanks for being the martyr for that? I’m sure you’d rather win than be some symbol but you were always such a favorite of mine. Had you made it just a little bit further you would have easily been a contender to win the whole thing.

Fifth Evicted (Returned): Rose the Hat - You got to return so I will elaborate further down.

Sixth Evicted (First Juror): Lauren Jauregui - Her strategy of not doing anything and then participating in challenges when she had to participate was interesting. I mean it works in theory. But you also have to be at least a little active and she was totally invisible. She did beast through some of those challenges though which I appreciated. Honesty if her social game was not that nonexistent I could easily see her making more waves and causing damage.

Seventh Evicted (Second Juror): Rue Bennett - Honestly didn’t do much in this season but I found her entertaining from a non-game perspective. I wish she did more game wise though, as she could have easily been a top tier player. Unfortunately it seemed as though she was just a number waiting to be picked off and she didn’t offer much more than GIFs. I would love to see her have a second attempt at the game. Could easily be a lot stronger.

Eighth Evicted (Third Juror): Momo - Easily the most memorable player with his posts. He was hilarious on the threads and he at least won a few challenges to make him a little unpredictable. Unfortunately he was too much of a liability but overall I wouldn’t say his game was too bad. He just needed to stop having a birthday every day though lol. That did not help him at all. I loved that he was randomly sassy for no reason and I was hoping he’d argue with people more <3 Surprised he lasted as long as he did but I am not displeased with that.

Ninth Evicted (Returned): Klaus Hargreeves - You got to return so I will elaborate further down.

Tenth Evicted (Fourth Juror): Bea Miller - For someone who made jury she barely did anything. Maybe I missed out as someone who does not see any behind the scenes actions but for the most part it seemed like she was so inactive she almost got herself expelled for not voting in time. Imagine if that was a deliberate strategy and she thought if she deducted $100 from her grand prize nobody would consider her a threat. That would be epic if it were true but I’m doubting that majorly.

Eleventh Evicted (Fifth Juror): Daniele Donato - George had potential for being amazing since he clearly has good taste in Big Brother players but we just never saw him shine, at least not on the threads. He probably played a quieter behind the scenes game but I cannot read minds and Cent/Arisa refuse to give me access so I have to judge it based on anything I can find publicly which is impossible in this game lol. Nobody wants to be annoying on the threads so it’s hard to identify people’s personalities. A better player than I give him credit for but still too UTR for my liking.

Twelfth Evicted (Sixth Juror): Ariana Grande - Annoyed me early on in the game and it took her getting involved in drama and winning some competitions before I started to appreciate the sass factor. Her argument with David was extremely entitled and it made zero sense since she was the one who was clearly in the wrong and spun it around on him to the point he apologized. Reminds me of when Dick Cheney shot someone in the face and made them apologize. Goddess <3 Anyway she was very entertaining in her last few days here and I wish she had that momentum from the very beginning.

Withdrew: Peter Griffin - Never really stood out except the time he randomly made it far in the endurance challenge and really should have just slept that night. There was no incentive for him to stay that long especially since he did not win. I don’t even know what kind of deals he struck if any, but it didn’t matter since he ended up removing himself from the game despite surviving the eviction he was just nominated in. Not sure about the circumstances regarding his removal but if it was game-related, gurl really. Otherwise hope it’s all good now!

Thirteenth Evicted (Seventh Juror): Klaus Hargreeves - I absolutely adored him in this game and early on when he would post non stop on the threads, I just knew this one would be the one to keep an eye out for. He was active, charismatic, and decent in challenges. Unfortunately he was a gamebot that did not know how to turn off his switch and he made himself an easy target after blindsiding a giant target in Rose. Fortunately he got back in but since he didn’t really spend any time working with Elizaveta, he ended up back on the chopping block and got himself evicted for playing too hard coming back. WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU. You shoulda ignored your hate boner for Rose and you would have lasted much longer. You still made this game chaotic though, so thank you!

Fourteenth Evicted (Eighth Juror): Barney Stinson - Barney was an underdog from the beginning and found himself on the block a lot, which might have been just because he was on the same team as Rose and of course she would weigh him down. All things considered, he did what he could do to socially position himself well in the game. I think he did well getting by so much in the mid game, hardly appearing as a nominee even though that would have been technically the easy route. His biggest downfall was probably targeting Rose during the first double eviction since it made her distrust him. I think if he tried to work with her, he could have had her trust and they would continue just a little bit more. The way I play games is, I’m not afraid of the big threats. I prefer if they get knocked out of the game while I’m on their side, because the moment you take out a large threat, then you become the next big threat. Keeping them as a shield works wonders. He should have been loyal to her, or at least not actively campaign against her. But the moment she is in jeopardy, that would have been a good time to cut her out. Not before though. Still not bad though. For a first nominee you did surprisingly well.

Fifteenth Evicted (Ninth Juror): Kam - I assume that if she ends up reading this blog she is going to think I hated her and she will probably randomly ignore me but I only had an issue when you did not campaign hard against your buddy Klaus. Before that you were great and afterwards you were great too. Again, it all comes down to how much is shown to us (I’ll give you a hint, we see as much as anyone who does not even sign in xo). You played an underrated game and the only reason you were taken out is because people wanted to trust David more, which didn’t even matter anyway since he was the the next boot anyway. Yea you might have been a ~little~ boring but considering this is the season of “let’s take out anyone who wins a challenge” and the fact you literally won the first challenge of the season, I’d say it’s been a success story.

Sixteenth Evicted (Tenth Juror): David Rose - Such an underrated player this season. You seemed to have a logical sense of direction this season and never made things personal, even if certain pop stars think otherwise. You kept things simple and you were always on my radar as someone playing the game. You took risks when you needed to, prospered when they worked and tanked when they failed. You also used the vote doubler to help you keep Barney in the game, which proved to be game-changing. Ultimately it came down to you and Kam as the nominees during the double eviction and you still survived that vote even though you should have left. Unfortunately you could not survive the block against Patrick but in theory you should have had Rose’s vote to stay and subsequently Shelli’s vote to stay. So close yet so far away.

Seventeenth Evicted (Eleventh Juror): Rose the Hat - Isn’t it crazy that the whole season Rose has been the most influential houseguest? She dominated the early game and had to be blindsided in order to give everyone a fair chance at the game. Then she came in like a wrecking ball with the battle back and once again reshuffled the deck after everyone started to form their own long term plans. The way she won so many veto challenges and basically preventing any backdoor attempts was phenomenal. It’s a shame she did not at least make some finals because she was amazing and very deserving of ~something~. Do I think she should have won? It’s hard to say. She did extremely well and shaped a lot of the jury and basically finalized the boot list. I just think the whole “getting evicted early on” is such a huge drawback to her game and it’s almost hard to not consider it. I do think she is deserving of some votes though. It’s a tough discussion and there are so many ways to argue for and against her game. That’s what keeps this game fresh though. There is no right or wrong way to win this game. Everyone has their own preference on what they respect and this is no different.

Finalist: Elizaveta Tuktamysheva - She was the one I was rooting for before the final jury questioning happened. She has played an incredible game imo. She rarely came up as a target and never publicly exposed. She won challenges when she needed to and was flexible enough to work with whatever hand she was dealt. However, her opening statement was atrocious since she basically put everything out there and that’s so boring to read as someone who might be bitter against you lolwtf. Don’t give them ammunition to not vote for you to win. I think her opening statement could have been truncated to just the first third and then whip out the last two thirds on a jury question. Also, the brown nosing was not cute. I had high expectations for her coming into this and now I feel like she is probably going to tank at her answers. Her actual answers though aren’t super awful thankfully but I feel like the outside perception of her and the inside perception are contrasting and unfortunately it all boils down to who the jury feels about her, not the viewers. Do I think she still has a chance? Hopefully. But she is going to have to work it with her responses and get enough votes to win the whole thing. I feel like her victory would be the most satisfying to me because I feel like she was the most well rounded. Of course the biggest obstacle is her jury management which is no bueno because I don’t even think she was that bad. She’s definitely a star and clearly deserves to win <3 If not though, it would be a tragedy.

Finalist: Patrick Star - Patrick still made what I think was an awful move in evicting Rose. Seems like she might have been the jury favorite though, which is mind blowing since she was evicted. So maybe it was a brilliant move after all. I just don’t understand Patrick’s pitch to the jury though. He says it was nothing personal and strictly game and then he says he was with Elizaveta the whole time and that’s who his alliance was so that means it was personal and not game lol. There’s nothing wrong with that but this is the final jury questioning. Be honest with your answers. If it was strictly game, then he needs to drag Elizaveta here and explain to the jury why she is not deserving and why he is. Of course his opening is atrocious and is probably structured the worst. At least Elizaveta can claim she wrote a novel. Patrick literally constricted a wall of text probably strong enough to protect the Alamo. One of the few good things about his game is that he seems to have not pissed off too many people. Everyone seems annoyed at Elizaveta and Shelli so maybe he has a chance at winning. So maybe he had the best perception of the jury and might have the best jury management out of the three. Does that mean he’s a deserving winner? Arguably so. Fundamentally Big Brother is about getting to the end by any means necessary (comp wins, strategy, social, etc) and then standing in front of your peers and pitching a case on why you’re the most deserving. There’s not really a right or wrong way to vote. So I think on paper he has played the best game objectively but subjectively he has been such a boring player with boring strategy. But if he managed to get to the end, he can cross that off his list. And if he had the best jury management, then that is something else he can cross off his list and subsequently it means he’s the most fitting winner this season.

Finalist: Shelli Poole - Shelli has probably played the most brutal game and has given zero F’s about who her targets were and honestly it’s extremely commendable. She won challenges when she needed to and broke deals when she wanted to. Unfortunately it means she has played the dirtiest game to the jury and they might not respect it. I think she has played the most aggressive and I do not think that’s a bad thing but I also was not screwed over. So they might think otherwise. I love that she was not afraid to make a move and she was bold and was not afraid to see people cry. I am in love with her. I think I would have hated playing with her though. That would have been a huge train wreck. Out of all the finalists I think she has burned the most bridges but I also think she would be credited for making her own moves. So that could be something that works in her favor. Again, it’s just a matter of preference. I think she would be a fun winner just because I love my villainous players getting the recognition they deserve. Nobody likes Basic Betty to win. When she posted her opening I thought it was garbage but then she lucked out by having her opponents do increasingly bad jobs with their openings so I knew that could work in her favor. I think if she owns up to the game she played without coming off too apologetic she can easily get enough votes to win. Her game is similar to Elizaveta’s I think, except she definitely had more blood on her hands and that could either be seen as a negative since she lacked jury management or a positive since she still managed to maneuver herself to the end with a target on her back. Ultimately it will come down to how she presents her case and it seems like there are a good number of pro-Shelli stans so it would not surprise me if she comes out on top.

Arisa, Cent, you two have hosted such a great season to follow. I loved that it was not as one sided as the last season so it’s always appreciated. I noticed you guys went out of your way to make more diverse challenges. I always thought your challenges in the first two seasons were great but it looks like you went to make things that distributed the wins more evenly so thanks for that. Made for good TV. You two definitely deserve the recognition for putting on such a dynamic season. Hosting has been top notch per usual <3 Good job y’all! Cannot wait to see what kind of mayhem you have next season xo (except you Cent, traitor xoxo HOW DARE YOU PUT YOUR RAEL LIFE AHEAD OF AN ONLINE GAME WITH PEOPLE YOU DON’T KNOW). All in all, cheers to a fun season! Sorry if my blogs were not as spirited as my first go around. I decided to change it up a bit <3 I loved my convos with Amy <3 Thanks for giving us our own little blagging space!
