I’m not totally sure anyone is playing Big Brother 26 particularly well. Every time I think someone is playing a good game, they make some sort of blunder or I realize they’re not really playing a good game, but just not getting involved in any kind of mess. Which I guess is part of playing a good game. What I’m saying here, is this is, so far, a really difficult season for ranking players.
So, once again, bear with me with these rankings. Some of them probably won’t make sense. But let’s do it, using my traditional grading scale. And this week you’ll see that I’ve readjusted where people are. I was grading too high last week.
Brooklyn: 89/100. I think I have decided that Brooklyn is not only in a good position in the house, but also has a solid read on the game. You aren’t seeing any of this on the episodes, but she’s there doing her job on the Live Feeds. I realized she had more to her when she said this week they could vote Tucker out this week and Kenney will probably quit … so they get two birds with one stone. All that being said, no one is really playing an A average game, so that’s why the highest score this week is an 90. I mean, 90 is in the A average realm, but isn’t the first actual A, 93? Well, it is in my grading scale. Last Week: 88
Chelsie: 88/100. I am still impressed with how Chelsie came off her HOH totally unscathed. And she’s got herself pretty stacked with allies. I think between her and Brooklyn, we’ve got two very smart and powerful women playing Big Brother this season. So once they amp it up a little, we could have some good gameplay. HOPEFULLY. Last Week: 89
Joseph: 85/100. Joseph held the top spot here for two weeks, but he’s starting to lose me. I think it’s because he thinks he’s the second coming of Dr. Will or Dan Gheesling. And he is neither of those. So he will eventually overplay. But as of now, he’s laying back and has himself surrounded by numbers. Last Week: 92
T’Kor: 85/100. I think T’Kor has one of the strongest social games. Everyone seems to love her. And she’s had some good reads. But I think she’s a bit too soft for this game to really be her thing. I say that because anytime things get heated or intense, she is one of the first to say it’s too much. That’s not a bad quality by any means, but it’s Big Brother and you should be ready for people to say and do bad things. Last Week: 91
Rubina: 83/100. Rubina is a lot like T’Kor at the moment. She’s well-liked staying out of trouble and keeping her eyes open. I think there are just bigger things going on so we don’t really have our eyes on her. And neither do the houseguests. Even when the big alliance is running down their boot order, she’s low on the list, so if she gets in a good position, she could really turn things up. Last Week: 87
Cam: 81/100. This is a hard one for me to grade, because I don’t think Cam has any kind of read on the game. But he is in some alliances and seems to be well insulated. And that’s important right now. So he could be higher than this, or he could be lower. I am just not sure where he should be. So here he sits. Last Week: 85
Makensy: 80/100: Makensy is in trouble sooner, rather than later. She’s for some reason a big target and has few allies in the game. So that’s why she’s not any higher currently. But she’s pretty smart and if she could get herself into a better position, she could do some damage in the game. And she played her America’s Veto this week even though Cedric tired to get her not to. Last Week: 70
Kimo: 79/100. Is Kimo playing Big Brother? Not sure. I have nothing really to say other than he’s currently not a target. Last Week: 81
Cedric: 77/100. I didn’t expect to rank Celtic so low as the current HOH, but he is not coming out of this HOH very clean. He should have been more clear to Tucker about the Quinn plan this week. Tucker was probably going to do what he wanted, but Cedric should have said “I am not putting Quinn up.” Cedric is now a huge target for the other side of the house. But of course that side has to realize they’re the other side and really work together or nothing will matter. Last Week: 87
Leah: 71/100. I am not sure why Leah is such a target, but she is. She hasn’t been able to find her footing in the game. I tried to think of any reason to rank her higher, but I couldn’t find it. This might be too low, but again, I just don’t know why I would rank her higher. Last Week: 79
Tucker: 70/100. I really hate to rate Tucker so low. Especially after he won the Arena comp and the Power of Veto this week. And he gets a 100 percent and a gold star for entertainment value. But he didn’t use the veto on himself. And he will go home tonight if he doesn’t win the Arena competition. So I can’t overlook that. You always use the veto on yourself. ALWAYS. Last Week: 83
Quinn: 70/100. Quinn and Tucker are equal this week. Quinn is so low because no one has blundered a power quite like this ever. Even his allies are sketched out by him. They’re not ready to send him home or anything, but he surely dropped lower on the totem pole. I think Quinn, who was in a good position, now has his days numbered. Last Week: 80
Angela: 60/100. Angela has played a terrible game. But she’s been so bad at it that it has now gone in a circle. She’s been so bad that she’s not a threat. So she’s going to keep coasting until probably jury when there’s no one left to send out the door. So that counts for something, right? Last Week: 59
Kenney: 55/100. Anyone who wants to go home should get a zero. It’s insulting to the game. It’s insulting to anyone who ever wanted to play Big Brother. Kenney could win the next five vetos and HOHs and I’d still want to fail him. Last Week: 77
