If there's one thing to take note of, it's that a good season doesn't depend on the HoH each week. 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. 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. The problem is that, for all intents and purposes, L4 has, by virtue of having JC and Sam vote with them EVERY week, held a majority all season long, and it's like every time Foutte actually comes close to realistically evening the numbers, it swings back. I just want the sides to actually be even to the point where L4 can't just control the vote even when they have two members on the block. The numbers aren't even though? It's 4-2-5. 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. I'm aware that Sam/JC are with nominally not with L4. They're with Tyler, but TYLER is 100% strong with L4, which means Sam/JC are with L4 for all intents and purposes. The problem is that L4 has yet to be in a position where they don't control the week. Yes, they've lost Rachel and Winston, but in both instances, they controlled which of their alliance went home, against the wishes of the other side. As a result, we have people like Kaycee/Angela/Brett who can afford to sit back and be boring, outside of Brett doing his tryhard eviction speeches, because they're never faced a situation where they had to so much as interact with the other side of the house. 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!
