Ranking on 12/26/20 (pre-veto comp #4)
21. Lucas Dell [-]20. Shego [-] 19. Connor McGregor[-] - I do wish he stayed around a little longer, the circumstances of his eviction were unfortunate -- but so many people wanted him gone, so he likely wouldn't have lasted much longer even if the eviction was cancelled.
18. Simba [-] - I feel bad for Simba and how things went down on the evening he left. I do think he could have done really well in this game, it just wasn't the right time.
17. Tiffany Pollard [-1] - I know it is a difficult time of the year to stay active, but with some of these other folks on here all day long and gaming super hard, it is not a surprise to me that Tiffany didn't survive being on the block, especially next to someone like Nick who is overly aligned and has a lot of people in his corner.
16. Max [-1] - Max is still on everyone's hit list, for whatever reason. I guess it would be due to his connection to steak, but even then, it still is really weird to me.
15. Hilary Banks [-3] - The focus on Steak, Max, and Connor has had people stop talking about her for a hot second but now that Connor is gone and steak and max are next on the chopping block, talk about her has picked up a bit again. For some reason, people are after her and I don't see that letting up.
14. Madison Pettis [-1] - I don't really know Madison's game plan at all or if people see her as valuable to their game or not. I could see her being used as a pawn once the underdog targets (Steak/Max/Hilary) all leave.
13. Bayleigh Dayton [-6] - If nominations stay the same this week, I highly expect Bayleigh to be the one to go. People see her as more of a threat, both socially and strategically and would take this opportunity to get her out.
12. Zach Rance [+5] - I think Zach is clearly doing more than I realize, because he hasn't been put up but yet I see him as a little more inactive than a lot of people that are lower. Lowkey his connection to Jason is what gets him this high, I could see Jason wanting to drag him to F2 maybe.
11. Doja Cat [-1] - I think Doja is a little bit explosive but in a way that could help her -- people will keep her not only as a sheild but also as someone who they might think they could beat...I could see her staying a while, but I'm not sure about her potential to win it all.
10. Reggie Rocket [+1] - I think at this moment, Reggie is doing pretty well under the radar, staying out of the spotlight but also maybe building some relationships, we will see. At first, I kind of saw them on the bottom with Max/Hilary but I think they might have put in some work to get out of that.
9. Nicki Minaj [-5] - Nicki only dropped this week because I'm not seeing much of what they're doing. I do think they are the least threatening member of the Bayleigh/Doja/Brenda/Nicki crew, but with that being said I'm not sure about their connections to the other people in the game.
8. Nick Jonas [+1] - Although he was nominated, it seems like he was able to bounce back pretty quick. A lot of people wanted to make sure that he stayed which shows that a lot of people think he is valuable to their game...If people really analyze this situation though, they will realize that Nick probably has a lot of allies and they will start to question where they stand on his loyalty list.
7. Robbie Mercer [+1] - Robbie is a lot less active than a lot of other players, which I am just not used to for this person (lolz)... I don't know if this is good or bad for him but for right now, I would say he is doing well. He isn't on anyone's mind as a target, even though he won that first hoh with a large majority of the votes.
6. Theodora Crain [-4] - I'm starting to think that HoH was not good for her. Some people are not pleased with her forcing them to chose between Tiffany and Nick and if the wrong people win hoh, than she could be screwed.
5. Baby Yoda [+9] - His gameplay is still cracked to me because it is so completely obvious that SOOOOO many people trust him, but people either don't notice or just don't care that he likely has a million allies and can't possibly be loyal to every single one of them??
4. Amber Martinez [+1] - Amber will remain in this spot as long as she keeps throwing competitions for the next few rounds. I don't see any reason WHY they would need to win anything or let it be known that they are a force in comps.
3. Blossom [-] - I still think Blossom is slowly building the social connections that will help them get to the end game. We shall see!
2. Brenda Meeks [-1] - Some people have started to notice Brenda as someone who is a social and strategic threat, which is not good for her since it is still way too early for that...we will see if she is able to manage.
1. Jason Genao [+5] - At first, I wasn't sure it was a good choice for him to win that second HoH, but it has worked out for him really smoothly, plus he is socially well connected and strategic AF.
