These players fell below the line this week for the Houseguest rankings.
Corey Brooks – 1 strip of Tofu – In my preseason report, I said Corey reminded me a little of Clay from last season, and even predicted he would get into a showmance. Both are coming true – as Clay was just as clueless at this point in the game. He is easily persuaded by Nicole, but he did strike down the idea of flipping the vote to save Tiffany this week. That;s only because he is also easily persuaded by Paulie. When will this guy actually win something???
Paul Abrahamian – 2 strips of Tofu – the 180 that Paul did after week one has helped keep him in the game the last couple weeks, although being a permanent fixture on the block each week is not a good way to win! Dare I say he is a “floater” at this point in the game? A true floater (IMO) kisses ass to the current side of the house that is in control. He does not do anything without permission from the others, and talks a great game of what he will do if he wins HoH. But this method of playing is good for safety while bigger players attack each other.
Michelle Meyer – 3 strips of Tofu – sometimes in the Big Brother game, its good to keep your mouth shut – Michelle is sometimes the victim of verbal diarrhea – and her loose lips could sink her ship. Her original squad are starting to question her, and could be watching what they say to her. Michelle is her own worst enemy at this point. Lets see if she can take it down a notch. I have a feeling if Frank gets his wish & Michelle wins HoH (ensuring his safety AGAIN) – she will try to make a big move that could come back to haunt her.
Bronte D’Acquisto – 4 strips of Tofu – on the block again, and still near the top of the majority’s hit list – Bronte is going to end up being collateral damage once a backdoor plan goes array. Her social game is just about non-existent – and her acting safe this week, when she may not be, could be her downfall.
Da’Vonne Rogers – 5 strips of Tofu – Da’Vonne’s motivations are becoming even more transparent to Nicole and a bunch of others. All her talk to keep Tiffany was just to upset Frank, something that despite all he has done to her, at this point in the game is a mistake. She is trying to plant seeds so others can do her dirty work for her and she comes out squeaky clean. Here’s an idea, you do not want to be like BB17 Da’Vonne… sit back when you are safe, let others drive the boat, and keep information to yourself & only use it when you need to. Playing with emotions does not usually work out well in this game. Play with your brain!
That bring us to this week’s TOFURKEY OF THE WEEK – yes, I did contemplate giving this award to the tofu loving Bridgette (GRRRRR!) – but I have to give that award to Tiffany Rousso. Not just because she is likely going home, not just because people scatter whenever she walks into a room, but for the simple fact that she wears her sunglasses 24/7. I never EVER trusted anyone who wore their sunglasses inside the house or at night. If you are hiding your eyes, you are hiding a lot more behind them! Her paranoia got her into this mess in the first place, and her paranoia is real. She knows something is up despite everyone telling her she is ok this week. IF and that’s a big if… IF she stays this week, it’s not because of anything she did, it’s more a vote against Frank than a vote to keep Tiffany. I do not see that happening however – so lets see if she can win her way back in!
OK – there ya have it – my rankings for the 3rd week are complete. Let me know what you think in the comments section below. Also a question of the week for you all – which showmance do you see being the first targets – Paulie & Zakiyah / Nicole & Corey / James & Natalie?
From outside the Big Brother house, I am Adam Poch, have a great day!

The problem with Da’Vonne and Paulie is that, both think once Frank is gone they will be the new puppet masters. I think Corey is using Nicole to get ahead because he knows she won’t put him up, but he wants to keep Paulie close to him at all times. I don’t Think Da’vonne should get Tofu, but I agree that it is a huge mistake keeping Tiffany since Frank will see it as a betrayal and work harder to win comps.
While I think keeping Tiff is a benefit, I can see why people would want her out. It’s so Frank would have no knowledge that people are gunning from him.
I have been saying that from the start. DAY is pushing to keep Tiff only because it would benefit her later on with those two showmance’s in the making.
Willie Willie Willie…Day is pushing to keep Tiffany for the same reasons most of the other houseguests have realized what keeping Tiffany would mean…another vote against Frank. By the way, Day is pushing to keep Tiffany for the same reasons Frank is pushing to evict Tiffany. She’s a possible vote for/against them.
They have the votes to get Frank out WITHOUT Tiffany so why would you keep her? One reason, two shomances and DAY being the fifth wheel. Now if there was no showmance or there wouldn’t be any conflict of interest, then I would not be saying that DAY wanted her to stay just to benefit her.
Well, it seem like the others have figured out it would benefit them as well to keep Tiffany.
I just don’t see how keeping Tiff will benefit anyone in the house other than DAY or maybe Paul.
it could help corey and Nicole one because tiffany is on there team incase she wins they would be safe and two because they would be the last two members on their team which would make them a target more because they are already being seem as being a showmance which would make an easy target but if tiffany stays they can avoid that situation
Good observation but I doubt if she would benefit them at all.
Oh Adam, I agree with almost everything (even the top and second spots) but no way in heaven that Nicole deserves that 3 bacons, seriously? She has a clear brain? Flip-flopping on everything, getting caught on the lies, constant paranoia of being nominated, playing with so much emotions and even admitting that relationship was more important than half a million. Are we talking about the same Nicole? Nicole who chokes on water and pees on the pants, that Nicole?
Btw, Day shouldn’t be that low and Big Meech should get at least a smell of bacon for her rapping alone.
Yes – she is toiling with her decisions – but in the end always comes out looking good – unlike Day
Need I say more than what you’ve clearly spelled out. Frank and Bridgette do deserve 1 and 2, but Nicole Hell Nawh!!! Loved the way you broke down “the golden child” aka Nicole’s bloops and blunders.
OMGosh, it kills me to think Frank deserves a piece of bacon, considering he is a pig. But, I’ll let that one go for now. The one that sticks out more to me is the tofu for Paul. Although it does seem at present, he is floating, I don’t think he has any other choice and is playing it smart. He has upped his social game to work in his favor. Since you did give him 5 strips of Tofu last week, at least you did see an improvement.
Hopefully we’ll see Frank Franking out the door next week when he gets Franked. Frank him.
I like Frank :)
yeah – i was torn to give Paul 1 strip of bacon or tofu. But when he asked permission to Paulie last night to tell Bronte that Frank put her up – showed he is playing a weak game. At least use that info to build trust with Bronte.
Well you are what you eat
Zing!
I love bacon.:(
I know that was a slam at Frank
I still think Frank can pull off a move each week to keep him safe. All he has to do is hook up with the right person each week.
Paulie is the new Frank, haven’t you heard? hehe
And now look at the big target on Frank’s back. If Paulie is the new Frank, that big old target will be placed on his back next.
At this time, that wouldn’t bother me a bit, as long as the target on Frank was dead aim first.
Ha..I knew those dark sun glasses were bad for her image.
Yeah I know right? Sigh …
Tiff is such a smart gal, don’t know what she was thinking when she decided to wear large sunglasses in the house.
Shady stuff.
I’d have given Day the tofurkey – she was sitting pretty, then overplayed her hand, blew up her alliance and wound up in a position where she’s not sure who she can trust and people are starting to not trust her. If anyone reversed their standing in the house more dramatically than Day, and by their own hand no less, I can’t see it…
Also, I’d give Paul more credit than Natalie. Besides the fact that I am in the “she’s using James” camp, I think she’s still relatively clueless about how to play the game and totally depending on James (and to a lesser extent the Powerpuff girls) to keep her safe, whereas Paul has really upped his social game, and I could see him following the same path as Johnny Mac last season, riding being everybody’s pawn and whipping boy a very long way towards the end of the summer. The difference being, in Paul’s case, once a few more strong players get eliminated, I think his social game is much stronger than Johnny Mac’s was, and if he can last as long he may very well find himself being in a leadership position once the numbers within the house dwindle, if he can last that long, and considering all the other targets jumping the line ahead of him on most people’s radars, those chances seem to be improving with each passing week.
While I think Paul has grown since his buddies left, comparing him to Johnny Mac is a bit of a stretch. Paul has little knowledge of what’s going on, and while John was in the outs with the Sixth Sense, he knew that Vanessa was the mastermind from the start.
As for social game, Paul rubbed some people the wrong way while John was liked by others from the start (minus Austwins).
Maybe it’s just me but Paul has a long way to go before becoming Johnny Mac.
Your just a natalie hatter
I agree on everything except I would swap Da’Vonne and Tiffany. Yes Tiffany’s paranoia somewhat got her into this mess but it was Da’Vonne who pitted Tiff vs Frank and caused the destruction of the Eight Pack late last week. Anyone who causes that kind of destruction of an alliance then cries in the DR about how her alliances are falling apart around her is a walking talking Tofurkey. She should know better than to keep Tiffany just to stick it to Frank when that move, while awesome for us feedsters, would be gameplay suicide cause she is showing her hand to Frank causing him to step it up and win comps.
I always agree with everything you say! Love your articles, read them every week!!
They need to get rid of the teams so only the HOH is safe. Maybe after the Battle Back and the former evictee comes back, they will get rid of the teams.
I think Corey would prefer a different showmance partner.
Yeah, he and Frankie could hug it out.
I don’t care what Frank has won he deserves nothing.
I agree Adam, Day belongs at the bottom of the list.
You have to give props to the Vets there are only 4 of them but only one has been HOH and not one Vet has been on the block and this week another Newbie is leaving.
DAVONNE IS MESSING UP HER GAME, SHE DID THE SAME CRAP LAST YEAR WHICH SHOWN HER THE DOOR! SHE DOING IT AGAIN WOMEN DID NOT LEARN TO BAD
SHE IS FUNNY
