So far, this season has been pretty entertaining in the sense that I am rooting for no one, and I love everyone continually making terrible move after terrible move. In a typical season, the Level 6 Alliance would be the villains, but they aren't really winning anything, and they aren't doing anything particularly bad. Sure, Angela is, uh, something else, but the other 3 seem alright. In a typical season, the other side would be the heroes, but they can't really seem to align properly, and when they do, they make terrible moves. This season deserves a Rockstar or Sam win.

I'm rooting for Tyler, who seems to be the only person who has any idea what he's doing. I assume the live feed watchers hate him, because they always hate everyone.

By the way, "Rockstar" is a ridiculous name to call yourself, almost as bad as "Swaggy C". She's a rock star in much the same way that a clump of dirt is a diamond.

It's also pretty funny how people who call themselves "Rockstar" and "Queen" are the most emotionally volatile and so obviously riddled with insecurities.

I don’t watch the live feeds but I read the thread.

Tyler really is the only one who understands the game. I mean, I guess Hayleigh would good if she had a few more years to grow first.

A bit of both, I'd say. He's solid but he's made a lot of really bad mistakes that more competent players would have made him pay for.

He's still only half way through the game so he'll have time to show if the pros outweigh the cons. This time in BB18 Paulie was in control and in BB15 Amanda was in control. But then again this time in like BB10 or BB2 I'd probably be saying "Dan/Will is good but has made a lot of big mistakes he's gotten away with." So we'll see.

It may also be a case where Tyler looks like he’s the only one playing the game. But I’m pretty sure we’ve seen this in season’s past. Did anyone look like good in Derrick’s season?

Cody played alright. Frankie played ok but kept making messes for himself. Nicole and Hayden had moments but could never really get it together. Brittany seemed like she had some potential but she went out too soon to really have any idea. Donny had solid game sense but was kind of just an old man who could never really connect in the house. Its not too unlike this season but I think that's where Tyler becomes overrated because he's definitely no Derrick. Derrick had a hold of the game all season and made very few mistakes and worked to keep everything calm. Tyler's made a pile of messes for himself, has been bailed out by a lot of people and events, and has been really overly dramatic.

I think most people are playing the game this season. But most of them are making really massive mistakes and have poor reads of the house in key places. The best thing Level Six has done is keep their alliance secret, even if its kind of hard to swallow that the house hasn't figured it out when they vote together every single week. Its kind of a testament to paranoia because I think all the pieces to the puzzle are out there but the right people aren't talking to each other or interested in looking at the bigger puzzle to put them together. And L6 have kept the paranoia high with all the blindsides and ridiculous lies throwing random people under the bus. Kaitlyn and JC also ran a ton of misinformation interference for Tyler so the whole house just doesn't know which way is up.

Out of curiosity, what made you praise Tyler's game this episode? Its not that I necessarily disagree overall but he didn't seem to actually do anything this episode except piss off Sam. The only other thing I remember was his "get myself backdoored" plan but that was never actually anything because Haleigh always intended to backdoor him because there's no anticipation for the Cloud and he's won the last 2 POVs.

It's the correct one and what Hailey should have done last week (put up the weakest competitor on the other side who hopefully won't win veto). With Hacked nom, a vote canceled, AND veto one side could negate the other side being HOH and send home one of their allies.

I just thought it was weird that Haleigh was discussing the backdoor plan with Tyler. I thought it was a good move on his part to agree with her. I don’t know, I just think he’s using the Cloud app on the best way possible. Maybe I’m giving him too much credit. It was in the heat of the moment.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Haleigh wasn't really saying "I'm backdooring you" though. The conversation was basically "I know I put you up last week so you're probably gunning for me so I should probably be gunning for you but I really don't want to and I'm totally not.". Basically the line of transparent bull you'd expect from the situation of an obvious backdoor. The whole thing was a bit of a theatrical setup by Tyler. He's sort of prone to that. I mean there was obviously value in trying to determine when to use the Cloud and hope it was after POV, but Haleigh never once considered putting him up pre POV after last week. Everyone involved knew it made sense for her to backdoor him.

If nothing else Tyler likes to put on a show for the cameras and houseguests that he's running things. Which is a big part of the reason we've had all these blindsides. And a big part of the reason every HG this season has left the house feeling burned by him. That's my biggest question mark on his game.

It’s stupid that they let Tyler go back down when he was already on the stump with the incorrect answer. Even if Rockstar didn’t say anything, he would have just seen she had a different answer and probably would have realized the mistake anyway.

I'm pretty sure they've let players go down before. It seems fair, if everyone's not set. I dunno. It makes for better TV at least and its a TV show before its a game.

OTEV is my favorite Big Brother comp and the thing I always look forward to and if i ever played the thing I'd be desperate to play in and win. So its fitting that it completely summed up Big Brother 20.

Level Six suck and rely on Tyler to carry their asses to the finish line.
Tyler pulls off some stuff but ultimately screws up badly.
FOUTTE bail him out from his mistake with their own screw up.
FOUTTE have the win but gently caress it all up.
Tyler backs into a win.
Level Six smugly celebrate like they did something.

BB20 in a nutshell.

If nothing else, I'm a fan of BB karma and Rockstar deserves to go home after that. But karma might have a crush on Tyler like everyone else this season.

I don't think Haleigh, Fessy, or Scottie are "horrible." They screw up but hardly beyond what players normally do and none of them have been terribly nasty or anything. Bayleigh was kind of "horrible" and Rockstar is real bad gamewise (although actually has a solid strategic mind, just can't keep it together). And Swaggy was actually pretty alright when you got past the swagger.

And Kaitlyn was totally an ancillary member of Level Six. And really much of this season just comes back to her eliminating two of their numbers in the first two weeks and spreading them misinformation to protect Tyler's game.

In fairness I don't think Kaycee or Tyler are "horrible" either although they're getting pretty obnoxious in a week like this. And Rachel wasn't that bad.

Eh, not really. Like she thought she had Brett's vote but mainly just because she didn't think it made sense for Brett to spend two weeks making nice and trying to start alliances and promising his vote to half the house if he just planned to backstab them a minute later.

Which you know... she's kind of got a point.
