It’s the 4th week of Big Brother Over The Top – and for the 2nd time this season, it looks like America will be the deciding vote. Last time Alex was in power, and we sent home Monte, one of her allies. This time with Kryssie as HoH – will we get rid of Scott (her target) or Neeley (her ally)? Personally, I would love to see Nelly go home because the LNJ needs this as a wake up call!
We are starting to see bridges built between the two sides of BBOTT, and some of them desperately need to figure out a path to get to the end of the game, BUT FIRST – let’s see how everyone did this week.
Morgan Willett – 5 strips of Bacon – Sure, Morgan was just a pawn, but she was also going to be the target if Scott won Veto and took himself down. So her winning that Veto by 16 seconds over Scott was HUGE for her! She has been wavering over her vote this week because Neeley is someone from the other side she wants to work with, but Alex seems to have gotten her on board to vote out Neeley and leave it up to America.
Alex Willett – 4 strips of Bacon – as mentioned above, Alex seems to carry a lot of power in her alliance, and is playing one of the better strategic games out of everyone in the house. Sure, she was saved this week by America’s Care package, and could have easily been sitting up on the block – but thanks to “us” she is not. She has enjoyed the Servant part of her punishment (at times) – but overall is a good sport, and loves the fact that Kryssie is hating it!
Danielle Lickey – 3 strips of Bacon – for the first time this season, Danielle is not on the block come Wednesday night. She has actually toned it down a little bit, maybe safety & no Shane to distract her brought out the good side of her. She still does not realize how some of her own people are annoyed by her and as I said in my opening, they may work with the other side to get her out – but the target on Danielle has shrunk a little.
Whitney Hogg – 2 strips of Bacon – Whitney did a subtle but powerful move this week by asking to go up on the block vs Scott. She can now claim no responsibility if Neeley is voted out. If Neeley stays, she can use this move as a sign of loyalty for the people on the other side of the house and lets face it – the more people that think you are with them in this game, the better. She has also dropped a little bit of her attitude and the southern charm production was thinking they were going to get from her is coming out.
Shelby Stockton – 1 strip of Bacon – once again Shelby has been on everyone’s radar, but did not make it on the block this week. Her “dumb” routine is working exactly as she wanted it to. She for sure does not want to play it safe this week and vote Scott out – and has even said she will vote Neeley out no matter what. Way to stick to your guns Shelb!!
Justin Duncan – 1 strip of Tofu – Justin did not have a good week or a bad week – but he is still riding the middle pretty well. His goofiness is starting to tone down a little and that is what made him so endearing early on. He is still well liked in & out of the house – and the rest of the HGs have not caught on that he is one of a very few people left in the house never to be a Have Not. Once they realize this, they may see him as a threat to their end game. Look for a target to grow on him the next couple of weeks.
The rankings countdown continues on the next page…
Continuing in this week’s player rankings for Big Brother OTT we’ve got Scott followed by the rest of the LNJ.
Scott Dennis – 2 strips of Tofu – Scott is trying so hard to be the villain of this season, but what he does not realize, is he is more of a joke than a villain. The better move for the house is to keep him this week, because it’s obvious he is not well liked on the outside (being named a Have Not twice).
As someone who used to camera talk, I was happy that Scott started doing it this season, but now it’s to the point where I cannot stand it! He is also obsessed with Alex to the point of creepiness. Not quite the same as Caleb was with Amber on BB16 – but… he will keep doing her bidding – and that will not work out well for him in the long run.
Neeley Jackson – 3 strips of Tofu – yes, she is on the block this week but we still do not really get much emotion / strategy / anything from her. In a season billed Over The Top – with so many huge personalities, she is background music.Lucky for us, her game may be over tonight, and that will cause major shock waves through the house.
Kryssie Ridolfi – 4 strips of Tofu – this is VERY rare, the HoH gets Tofu. Yes she did win the HoH competition, but her performance in the Veto will be talked about for years to come. Did you know she was injured in that comp? If you watch 30 seconds of the feeds since it ended, you would know. Her HoH may be a complete waste – and her crabby attitude will get even crabbier.
I wonder if she will finally realize that America does not really like her like she thought the first couple of weeks. This is sad, because I really liked her at the start of the season. But she complains constantly about EVERYTHING. She even blamed Production for thinking she was not as injured as she claimed she was. She is probably upset because, ITS TRUE!
That brings us to the Tofurkey of the Week – and that honor goes to Jason Roy. His tirade about Shelby after Neeley was nominated was so “over the top.” I mean, how do you complain about the way production is editing her – EVERYTHING IS ON THE FEEDS!!! He even thought the feeds were down after the Veto comp. Bro – cmon!!! You are such a superfan/live feeder – you had to know this season was being played out online all the time. The rude comments were even more vicious than what we have seen out of Jason in the past.
If Jason was not a gay man, I would think he really has a crush on Shelby! Ok Ok Ok, I know some of you may say I am biased because I am a Shelby fan, but if he said those things about anyone in the house, I would still give him this award. Perhaps being a Have-Not for the first time has made him a little cranky – but still, it was way out of line, and his popularity outside the house may have just taken another serious blow.
There ya have it – another week in the books – and I cannot wait to see how tonight plays out. This season has had more unsure eviction nights than the last 4 seasons combined it seems. This format works great for that – and I hope it will carry over on the CBS show.
Let me know in the comments section below what you think of my rankings, and my question of the week is: Who do you plan on voting for in next week’s America’s Care package, the ability to cancel out 3 votes is HUGE as there will only be 5 votes (+ America). I wonder if the winner will try and void Americas vote?
From outside the Big Brother house, I am Adam Poch, have a great day!
