Diary Room: Adam Poch’s Player Rankings: Big Brother 18 – Week 4

These Big Brother Houseguests let their game slip and earning themselves poor marks.

Natalie Negrotti – 1 strip of Tofu – Natalie has been a trooper this week, she’s a Have Not, she’s on the block, and her best friend just went home. But she is getting a little flirty with Paulie and that caused some waves with both Zakiyah & James. I do not think she is serious about this, but she should know Big Brother 101 – no one gets between Zakiyah & her man!

Nicole Franzel – 2 strips of Tofu – history has a way of repeating itself, and despite her saying she was not going to throw her game away again over a boy, she is.. throwing her game away for a boy. She kept asking why they kept Tiffany last week, and now that Corey said it may make sense to keep Tiffany again this week, Nicole is considering it.

Zakiyah Everette – 3 strips of Tofu – unlike Michelle who is playing strategically, Zakiyah is playing emotionally. While that is understandable given the atmosphere of the BB house, she will need to reel it in. Being so close to Da’Vonne could be her undoing as she could find herself on the block next to Day in the near future since they will want to keep her from voting to keep for Day to stay. As we know on Big Brother – sometimes pawns go home.

James Huling – 4 strips of Tofu – James came alive last week being the voice of reason in the Tiffany/Bronte discussions – but he has gone back to trying to play grab ass with Natalie, and is being left out of game conversations. He could use this week to pick a side in the Day vs Frank battle – but instead he just sits back and lets the game pass him by.

Bridgette Dunning – 5 strips of Tofu – oh how the mighty have fallen. Last week Bridgette held (just about) all the power in the house. This week, she is shunned by all but Frank, who is using her & Tiffany, who is also using her. I should have given Tiffany an extra strip of bacon for having to sit through Bridgette’s boring conversations. Why she is still hitched to Frank is mind boggling, considering he is the reason her best friend was evicted during her HoH reign. Similar to Zakiyah, Bridgette will find herself on the block next to Frank at some point, and will likely go home before him.

That brings us to this week’s Tofurkey of the Week – Da’Vonne Rogers… oh Momma Day, you had a bad week last week, and this week you find yourself on the block and possibly getting evicted this week. It’s not likely you will have a date with Julie on Thursday, but you overplayed again so far this season. You knew you would have to chill more this season, but you did the complete opposite. You may find yourself in an elite company – joining Jase & Kayser as players that played twice, and voted out pre-jury each time. Yes, this is all premature – and even if you are evicted, you could still come back by wining the Battle of the Block, but in you whole time playing Big Brother – you have won as many competitions as Julie Chen… ZERO!

OK, there ya have it – my week 4 rankings. Let me know what you think in the comments section below.

Also – my question of the week is – of the first 4 evictees (Bronte, Victor, Jozea, Glenn) – who would want to see back?

From outside the Big Brother house, I am Adam Poch, have a great day!

  1. just observing why this article is in control by you…

    Adam Poch – 3rd place – Big Brother 13

    If there was a book titled “How to win 500 thousand dollars on Big Brother” I’d expect the author to be Dan from BB10 or Will Kirby. If there was a book titled “How to win 25 thousand dollars on Big Brother” I’d expect the author to be Jeff from BB11. If there was a book titled “How to win 50 thousand dollars on Big Brother” I’d expect the author to be Adam Poch. He was the ultimate floater and butt-kisser. He seemed so sure he’d be asked back for all-stars on finale I felt embarrassed for the guy. I’m sure America can’t wait to watch him float and butt-kiss and try to collect his 50k this time.M+17

    ! This guy was really annoying and on finale night he tells everyone that the reason why he isn’t in the final 2 is because he would have beaten everyone. Yeah right! Plus he said that he would be coming back for all-stars 2 and win it. He is the biggest floater and butt kisser in the history of Big Brother.M+1

    Adam was always afraid to make a big move and didn’t want to make enemies with America’s golden couple Jeff and Jordan. It’s no wonder he finished 3rd because he was carried most of the game by Jeff and Jordan. Least Shelly got it that if you want to win big brother cutting off certain relationships will get you the money. – BlackDiamondsM

    He was the biggest floater in bb history… Didn’t have any balls at all

    • Wow – you dug deep in the archives to find this huh? Not bad – you should work for a private investigator. Fast forward 5 years – did you take the time to ready my article? Do you agree with anything I say?

      • Yes I do read your article, and some stuff makes a lot of sense . I’m just questioning your opinion on the way HG are playing the game when your way was a disaster on your season

      • Sorry, but a 3rd place finish on BB is not bad. Also, I think the point is to get insight from someone who has played the game. I always enjoy!!! Thank you Adam

      • I would also bring a floater to final 3.
        and if your definition of someone who PLAYED the game is Adam , we’re not watching the same show

      • I agree with that :) it’s not to be mean or anything I say that …. I just find it funny you’re the one making this article and criticize other’s way of playing

      • That’s really not my logic here….
        You can criticize when you’re really good at something, like chefs with food or Vet pro sports players with newbies ….

      • Funny you mentioned sports. You don’t have to be a great player to coach. You have to understand the game and know how to teach the game. There’s a lot of food critiques that aren’t chef. Film Critiques are not actors, but have vast knowledge of film making and the mechanics.

      • ok…so Adam should be a coach on the next coach season of big brother then !
        My point is , he was the worst player to play in the history of big brother in my eyes…
        so it’s just funny he’s criticizing how current players are playing

      • I am not denying my gameplay was not that of Dan, Will, Evel Dick, Derrick, etc… but I did play the game. Maybe not the way you like players to play. How can you call me the worst player ever. Was Jozea better than me? Also – are you a live feeder? If so you would have heard me talk to the feeders explaining my game, my moves (or lack thereof). If I had to guess, I would say you were rooting for Daniele my season. All of her fans hate me cause I had the chance to save her and I did not. If I save her, she wins the game. I knew a lot of what was going on around me, just knew better than to call people out – unlike Day this season (& last season). The bottom line is – I played Big Brother & I am a superfan of Big Brother. I know what it takes to win the game. I just did not have the skillset to pull it off. Also – I was not helped by Pandora’s Box to save me like the eventual winner of my season. Talk all the smack about me & my game that you want. It does not bother me at all, because I lived my dream of playing Big Brother.

      • I was a Danielle fan, I wish u have saved her so bad. And Rachel only won because of the Pandora Box that saved her and Jordan when Porsha was HOH at the final 6..
        Big Brother is made of different people, different culture,( and production manipulation) each person is supposed to play the game as they way they want…only thing that matters is winning the U$$500K…

      • Worst player in BB history?! I wasn’t a fan of Adam in his season (sorry, Adam), but even I think that’s a gross exaggeration. I don’t even know where to begin on players who played worse than him. I’d put Nicole on that list just from the last 2 weeks alone, but before her would be Zakiyah, who isn’t even aware she’s playing the BB game—and that’s just this season. Et al.

      • Ha! His game was FAAAAR from the worst! I think you bumped your head darlin. There were worse players in his SEASON even lol

      • People can talk big but unless you have been there they just don’t know. Thank you for your insight I alway enjoy.

      • I’ll give you this Adam, if you were hired as analyst of this game, then you’d be given the half mil in a paycheck. Seriously I think you’re really good with analyzing this game.

      • That’s kind of lame. Just because you personally don’t win something and aren’t the GOAT of BB, doesn’t mean that you can’t have strong opinions that are valid. Like they say, those who don’t do, teach! Plus, he’s analyzing the game from the OUTSIDE now, not from the INSIDE like when he was playing. That a huge difference in strategy perspective.

      • Aww, how sweet that this person wants to get your attention so bad, Adam! ?

        Anyway, how’s Fara and the kidlet? :)

    • Please remind me; what place did you get in your season?

      No? You haven’t been in the house? Really?

      Prattle on…

    • whoa. harsh. i find it odd when people use floater as a description of someone who doesn’t win a lot of comps. there is a lot involved in getting to the end and socializing and aligning yourself in the right spot at the right time is strategy w limited info compared to what us on the outside have. Third place is nothing to bash about.

  2. job well done, Adam. I’m glad I’m not the only one noticing that Frank seems to have stolen some pages from Dan Gheesling’s play book

    • Which is funny because Frank hated Dan. And still seems to show signs of resentment.

      More irony: Dan and Frank are buddies now, and Dan is rooting for his new homeboy/rival

      • that’s awesome. It seems like Frank is the only returnee that prepped before hand.

  3. I’d like to see Glenn come back. He’s the only one who would come in with no agenda or alliance so he could look at the players and choose what he wants. And he’d be mature enough to take a good HARD look at the players, maybe weed out the teeney boppers playing summer camp and make some game happen.

    • I think he’s just too far behind. He’d just be an easy target unfortunately :(

  4. After this weeks eviction and the Houseguest are told of the Battle Back.
    Which Returning Houseguest would they want back? And Which One they would not?

  5. “…as many as Julie Chen – ZERO!” – hilarious!

    Love what you wrote about Tiffany, Adam. I’m not her #1 fan but man, that was exciting last week. I think the emphasis on her dictator comment was on the first syllable. I saw what she did there! ha ha

    I want them to evict Natalie tomorrow and Victor win his way back and then we have a house full of Tiffany, Davonne & Victor! Exciting!!!

    • ole suave himself. lol. that would be a good outcome. anything that will keep entertainment up

  6. Glenn! Dude deserves a chance to play and he has no pre-existing relationships.

    • I would LOVE to see Glenn back – doubt it will happen. He needs to win 4 comps in a row. Now if it is the same comp each time, he has an advantage. The learning curve is huge in those types of comps

    • ha. awe, glenn. maybe i do want him to win the chance back in. after all, had they listened to him about that bottom puzzle castle piece, their team coulda won, and it was very close between him and corey.

  7. Adam, I think you meant “Battle Back” in Day’s TOTW paragraph.

    I’d like to see Glenn come back.

  8. Between the first four evictees, I’d have to say Glenn is the only one I’d care to see come back. He really didn’t get a chance to play, and bringing back Jozea, Victor, or Bronte would probably end up being a waste

  9. I also want to see Glenn come back. It wasn’t fair to blindside him with a competition that favored small lightweight people.

    Remember those tilting Islands? Clearly there was favoritism towards the smaller people in the house.

  10. I think Tiffany does deserve 5 strips of bacon this week for finding a quick alliance with the person she outed as the dictator. There is a big possibility that she may even stay in the house and Da will go now that Paulie is changing his mind.

      • One day he is against Da’vonne and the other against Tiffany. Tonight is the night. It is a lot better for viewers not to know for sure who is going. Last season it was the whole house against one person and we always knew before Thursday.

  11. Hopefully Glenn comes back, but I don’t see it happening unless the challenge is a fan vote.
