Hi,
i think your insight to the show is really thought provoking. Although I do not always agree with some of your perceptions and generally think you are giving some of the house guests far more credit, it has been a guilty pleasure to follow your blog.
The biggest thing I think is that you are giving Kryssie far more credit than she deserves. In my opinion she has stated that she has only ever seen two seasons, no live feeds, and has probably never seen any website or blog related to BB. Her blow up with Neeley and everyone trying to give their opinion was the single biggest mistake she has made and it will likely not only cost her one of her own alliance, alienate her from the plastics, (who, I don't think either Morgan or Whitney will honor their deal- Whitney has proven through small comments and quiet assertions that she is there to play, and will have no problem going back on her word (she lied right to Justin about the Monte vote) and Morgan is likely to capitalize on the opportunity to keep numbers), and possibly push Justin and Jason out if they are faced with a decision to keep Scott over Neeley. Justin is smart, but he also is very naive, and Jason doesn't want to fully assert his will on Justin (smartly), Justin has made it clear that he will vote out Neeley over Scott, regardless if the timing is right.
A good leader, and smart person knows their limitations and knows when to ask for help. Sure, Dani is annoying, but she is sharp, Neeley has more exposure to BB, and Jason has not only been a LF, has a fan base, understands what America is likely to do, but also has been in that house before, Kryssie sealed her fate with her "I am the HoH and I rule the world!" attitude.
I think had Jason been able to get in Kryssie's ear that she had to trust America to put up Scott and to put up two plastics, it would not have opened the door so wide to let America put Neeley. I had hoped to see more momentum in putting up Jason which I think could have split the Plastics vote, but they seem to be far more organized as a fan base than the Misfit fans.
I am pretty positive that today will see Neeley on the block, she is on slop, not feeling well and may not perform well in Veto, but who knows what the competition will be, so no speculations there. Once Neeley is on the block though, the Plastics will huddle, come up with 83616384 plans, and not be able to execute any of them because the Veto competition will ultimately determine what the field looks like in their playbook. But, right now, America appears to be pro-Plastic, and they are relatively untouchable.
I would love to see the scenario you detail where Alex would be forced to save Morgan or Scott, and how that plays out. I think it is interesting that she says she can cut her sister, but the first sign of that being in practice, she basically starts behaving like there is no way Morgan can leave. Blood is thicker than water. Regardless of what they say, they are not estranged, actually appear to like each other and riding out the last phases of typical sibling rivalry.
At at the end of the week I predict Kryssie and Danielle will be on islands, and they may be able to work together, but they will be the biggest targets just for piece (peace) of mind.
I look forward to your next blog... thank you for your time and insight!
