CrazyBBFan Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Michael social skills have got better in the game. He has the best chance of winning this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuskie Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I think Michael didn't expect to have to win Vetos so early in the game and he had to go more from a watcher to a strategizer to survive. He's still not one to initiate game talk and tends to sit back in group situations, but he and Brittany are in a good spot. Until the target swings their way.

CrazyBBFan Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 i like watching Micheal's gameplay the most out of anybody in the house. He knows the people from the backyard are lying to him. It's great to watch on the live feed how he put the pieces together about everything that happen in the backyard. It's gonna be sad to see him voted out because of the stupid twists in the game. Once Michael and Brittney are gone, I'm done with watching the live feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaLong Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I'm so glad Michael won the veto! Way to go Michael! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmen Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Michael is super smart and knows the dynamic has changed re: the Leftovers once the house came back together. But he has really been outplayed in the sense of not knowing just how much ground the After Party has already covered. I don't think he has a clue about Terrance and Alyssa, for example. He's working Alyssa hard but I hope it ends up backfiring (and I really like Michael, probably my fave most of the season, but getting annoyed with him now placing so much stock in Brittany). He's a bit behind on this one. And if he thinks pitching Kyle to go this week will work with Turner, I think he is sadly mistaken. Compared to the ways in which several others have flexed their game based on the changing situations, Michael appears stuck and I'm starting to think he's not as strategic as some of the others. Smart, yes. Physical ninja, yes. But will it be enough to get him to the end? not so sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuskie Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Any respect I had for Michael is gone. This is a gross, if not slanderous misrepresentation of the conversation in question, that can impact Kyle outside the house and after the game. It's just something you just don't do. Ever.

CrazyBBFan Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I still want Michael to win the game. Production controls the live feed. I feel that there is more to the story. For some reason, none of them are talking about it. Something happen to Brittany so bad that she doesn't want to be around anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuskie Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Kyle didn't have to point any fingers before the Jury started wondering about Michael's timing. With Terrance arriving at the JH, that suspicion could be locked in before Michael arrives. That is going to be as difficult a conversation, I think, as Kyle endured in the BB House.

Fuskie Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 It will be very interesting seeing his arrival to the Jury House on Thursday's show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmen Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I hope they show it -- can't wait to see how he is received by the others. Plus, I'm curious to see if they talk about how he pulled out that racist crap on Kyle after sitting on it for weeks. BTW, Kyle has taken on way too much of a racist identity. Maybe what he did had racism in it (and if so, everyone needs to own their part in simply questioning if there could be an alliance made up by, as Turner phrases, having "similar characteristics". The extent to which Kyle got crucified is ridiculous. I saw way more genderism blatantly discussed and bandied about and no one said a word about that.

carmen Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 People should talk about racism and a whole lot of other isms as well. Diversity of all kinds should be embraced. We live in a pluralistic world and the more we recognize the value in that, the better. However, questioning whether there could be an alliance made up of people of color (especially just fresh from last season's Cookout) in and of itself does not rise to the level of the reaction that was displayed by the houseguests. At least one of the houseguests recognized that the size of the punishment did not fit the crime, but sadly no one really listened because of yet another ism (of age).

Fuskie Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 If you are referring to Terrance, I don't think he felt the punishment didn't fit the crime, I think he realized he needed Kyle to have any chance in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmen Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Is there any reason it couldn't be both? I don't see it necessarily as an either / or. I agree, though, that he knew that he needed Kyle in the game -- but ironically, knowing that he needed Kyle and could work together moving forward kinda undermines the spin that Kyle is a racist. The narrative that Kyle is a racist is too generalized and omits the parts of his wanting to work with POC early on when the leftovers were being formed.

Fuskie Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Call me a cynic, but I think there's an altruism filter when you walk through the door into the BB House and it gets stronger the closer you get to the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
