They were 100% sold on getting Rachel out once the noms were locked, they didn't want to give either Rachel/Bay time to react strategically. Also not telling Bay meant chaos would ensue after the vote, nobody from FOUTTE/Hive would know who to trust, and it would give L6 more room to maneuver going forward. --- |

| Peridiam 08/03/18 12:13:56 PM #495 | Rachel played really bad this week. She actually turned on Level 6 before any of them turned on her. L6 spent half the week attempting to save her, Tyler was creating a 'cute' little scheme to get Scottie up, basically anyone once he used the veto. But then Rachel talked with Bayleigh and became convinced Tyler was against L6 and was trying to get Rachel/Angela out. Rachel did speak to Angela in private but Angela realized rather quickly it didn't add up in accordance to what Tyler was saying. Rachel spent the better part of Saturday burning her L6 bridge all because she believed Bay over her own alliance. And for whatever reason she never spoke to Tyler until Sunday night. All she had to do was talk to Tyler and get on the same page. Instead she avoided him and schemed behind his back thinking he was against her, despite nobody else from L6 buying into it. L6 was firmly on her side until she crashed and burned. Angela isn't a fantastic player either, mind you, but the moment Rachel turned on L6 (believing in good faith it was the logical move) did Angela think Rachel was beyond saving. There was only so much time until the veto ceremony Monday morning, and because Rachel preferred to hide in the shadows, not clearing the air with Tyler for so long, instead all of L6 thought she was working against them. It was horrid gameplay from Rachel, with fairly bad gameplay from Angela. After Rachel/Tyler got on the same page Sunday night, Rachel suddenly saw the light and realized how dumb she was for scheming against Tyler all because of Bayleigh (who misinterpreted what Tyler said, Bay wasn't really lying to Rachel afaik). Despite Rachel finally realigning with L6, by then L6 had decided it was too difficult to save both Rachel & Brett, and there wasn't enough time to really sell getting anyone else on the block - if Tyler veto'd anyone then Angela was going up. It was basically: lose Angela/Brett, two steady, composed players on the same page, or Rachel, who was tailspinning all because she chose to trust Bay over her own alliance on a whim. Angela was needlessly vindictive though, but I think she's kinda distant as a person anyway, she's not very emotional, and she was kinda just spent dealing with Rachel at that point. For whatever reason Rachel was always very anxious in the house, she never held the power in any relationship with her allies. She always came across as slightly unsettled, nervous, awkward. I'm curious to see if Angela continues this cold demeanor in her GBM's or was simply more scathing because it was pre-jury and she felt justified in her reasoning based on the events outlined above. --- |

Angela winning is probably the better scenario as it'll cause Bayleigh's power app drama to arise, alongside the "girls alliance" to be truly revealed for the shambled state it's in. If Bay uses her app, the shit will hit the fan. Lotta scrambling. I imagine Angela is going to target her so it's probably best she does use it. It's FOUTTE. There's always drama.

If Bay uses her app, the shit will hit the fan. Lotta scrambling. I imagine Angela is going to target her so it's probably best she does use it. Angela is going to be a villain moving forward -- why I didn't desire to pick her after week 1. She's had that cut throat mentality hidden all along and now it's coming out. She'll be the 'Ice Queen' archetype, and I'm hoping she gets more time to shine this week. She's explicitly stated she wanted to lay low the first half of the game, which she's done really well. I could see her coming out of her shell from here on out. I think production will want her to as well. I know Brett isn't your cup of tea and drives you up the wall but he's been a huge catalyst for the first act of the season and I'm glad he's in the game and still kicking. I certainly hope he doesn't win, he's replacement tier as far as gameplay goes, but his triple-C demeanor in the face of chaos and pressure is worth him being around/on the block again and again. He's a worthy opponent. JC will eventually turn, Sam will eventually do something different. Tyler doesn't control her despite the edit not giving her much agency. Or so I'm predicting anyway. You want to win the battle and the war, I get it. We all want that (in whatever way it means to us). But BB doesn't work that way even at its best. Consider this a "down" week, like when Michelle won HoH in BB10, or any time the Nerd Herd won at all. It happens, and it sucks at face value, but it might just be for the better in the end. Or not! We'll see. --- |

| Peridiam 08/02/18 11:52:14 PM #479 | Basically if Tyler gets evicted a lot of things will fall apart. He's the best player this season bar none and is holding a lot of cards (social bonds) at the moment. That said he's also not suffocating the season in spite of this, which is why I'm cool with him. Unlike Derrick or Paul who took control and squeezed the enjoyment out, the rest of the cast are still all over the place. It might be because Tyler isn't a leader-type and doesn't intend to take control or 'lead his minions'. --- |

I'm not sure how much you guys know from the feeds but L6 is in the minority. Sam/JC are not with L6. Sam is not with Angela/Kaycee. JC is not with Angela/Kaycee/Brett. Sam/JC ARE with Tyler, which is why Sam has voted the way she has. JC is just floating like any decent floater does. He'll turn on L6 the moment it's necessary. JC is also strongly with Fessy. --- |

| Peridiam 08/02/18 11:44:55 PM #474 | Underleveled posted... Is this the last week Bayleigh can user her power? If so, Angela winning HoH is fine I suppose, but if not, I would have preferred Haleigh/Faysal/Rockstar to win and postpone Bayleigh showing her cards one extra week. They aren't. Sam is only with the people she likes most, which happen to be 1) Tyler 2) Rockstar and 3) Brett. She can definitely be swung another way and is not conspiring with L6. JC is a floater. He's stated his intentions on the live feeds are to cripple both sides, and that's what he's doing. He's working with L6 unintentionally, because they've controlled the votes, but it's also feeding into his plan to play the middle. He's worked with them to get out Winston/Rachel because it appeases L6/that side of the house for the short term, which is what he wants. --- |

| Peridiam 08/02/18 11:41:35 PM #473 | Also even I wasn't rooting for Angela and I can't stand Rockstar. When it came down to just those two I was like "of course it does". The power/pendulum swinging to the other side is what BB is all about when it's at its best, just as this season has been. In my opinion, this will be needed as we head into the jury phase. Obviously L6 has been "in control" of the votes each week, largely because FOUTTE/Hive are terrible at the game, but they've still managed to get 3 people against them out of the 5 evictions thus far. That's pretty amazing. I'm really curious if Bay will use her app. I think she has to after Brett's speech. Either that or she'll get completely snowed somehow (FOUTTE will find a way) and think she's safe, then get backdoored. --- |

Likewise L6 is down to 4 people now, compared to "The Hive" which has 5. Then you get Sam who's basically following her gut, and JC who is entirely floating, intending to have the power swing from side to side. If The Hive lose a member it's 4-2-4, which is a fun dynamic. I'd kinda prefer that too. Either way, I'm grabbing my popcorn. --- |

Not knowing the winner of 2 is part of what makes it great, and I would strongly recommend watching it. Don't let Russell ruin the spectacle of actually good Survivor! --- |

| Peridiam 07/28/18 10:58:35 PM #394 | eaedwards6400 posted... So I haven't watched any of those moments but Marcellas but it has my understanding, and I believe Derrick said this on RHAP, that a lot of their alliance would have voted against Cody if he took Victoria. This was Derrick's doing too. He actually pulled a mega-honor card by convincing most of the bomb squad to vote for Victoria if anyone took her to the end. Apparently they were sticking to it -- though we'll never know for sure. I personally think it's a bit bogus. When you watch the BB16 jury roundtable you'll notice the disdain for Victoria is way too strong. There's no way Zach, Hayden, Frankie, or Christine are not voting for Cody there. Victoria definitely get Donny/Jocasta, potentially Nicole too (though given Nicole's track record with women...). Caleb could also vote Victoria, not sure. It might come down to Derrick. I would expect him to reward Cody given his honor card was merely a ploy to keep himself in the final two in the event he lost the final HoH. --- |

But thats not fair to Brett, and we know it. And I dont think less of him for it, particularly in the first few weeks when all of this was relevant. --- |

Hes a straight while male and thus needs to be eradicated for being as such. He was winning because his alliance held the power, and she blamed his archetype for it. Right, but dont hold what the editors do against Brett. Just because the editors favored him in this instance doesnt mean Rockstar is right, which was your initial claim. --- |

Immediately after Bay told Rachel she said "I just fucked my game" with Rachel right in front of her -- basically saying she doesn't fully trust Rachel.

| Peridiam 07/20/18 1:04:23 PM #249 | That said, the persecution complex, "white male privilege" angle, it feels too forced and misplaced. Like it's happening for the sake of it, instead of actually because of it. I don't know if me being liberal (mostly)/feminist/etc. makes a difference from my critical lens, because I'm also white and male, but I don't condone her critical assessment of the situation here. I WANT to be on the same page as her because I often am, but the substance behind her judgment in this case is... shallow, and her execution is immature. Brett hasn't socialized much with her but at the same time he's done nothing else to instigate the ire outside of attempting to blow up her game last night. He's truly not a "bully" like she wants to label him. I was bullied in school (to an extent, nothing crazy) - and it sucked - but Brett is not that guy. Or at least not from what I've seen so far. I believe she thinks Brett represents an archetype of a person she loathes, instead of actually being that person. Last night she kept going off on frustrating rants based on the premise that Brett is "constantly getting his way in 2018". She says "How is it possible a straight, white, male is constantly getting his way in 2018?" It's because he's in a dominant alliance that controls the swing votes, girl. That she resorts to this shallow line of thinking as her default is VERY disappointing. There are smarter ways to approach this situation but her MO spoils the broth that is what actual social justice stands up for. She draws ire with so many fans because of her approach and her flawed analysis. It also doesn't help that she's pretty bad at the game too (and is threatening quitting because she doesn't get her way). This is my own little rant but I just want to bring up the line of thinking Rockstar has and why I disagree with it in this case, despite actually agreeing with it in the big picture. If I'm wrong in some way with my assessment of this, I don't mind be corrected. --- |

Production was just on their game with their BB20 use of the term. --- |
