Judy Chop really is the catch phrase of the summer though.
Whoever wins the F3 HoH wins the game. (Assuming Cody figures out the obvious move is to keep Victoria.)Cody just played that well, bringing Derrick into the mix. That helped him a ton. Good move but Derrick has to be pissed.
Shows how good Derrick is, if all of these people claim he was their closest ally/friend.

I wonder how Derrick feels about Cody outing the Hitmen to Victoria and the jury.
It gives him a reason to bring Victoria in the final 2.
Dude has to be true to himself. It's not like he can pretend to be a good person or anything. That would require some semblance of acting talent.lol fuck frankie, even when he isn't in the house anymore he is a fucking asshole on the show.
Wow.Somebody did do this in a blog;

The most interesting man in the world.
Vic has fallen off.
Other players have deliberately used the floater strategy and thrown comps to go far. I don't think Victoria is even aware of a floater strategy.Utterly, completely a pawn to the fullest extent of its definition.
How effective has Derrick convinced Cody that he would win if they were final 2? If Cody has a fraction of a clue, he would realize that he would easily beat Victoria, and only maybe beat Derrick.I know him and Cody are close but man I'm not sure I'd trust him to take me.
Cody wins part 1
Dan is bearable?
RHAP finally had a bearable guest on (ie not Ian)

although Dan doesnt watch the feeds
If he can't beat Victoria he doesn't deserve to win.Guys, what if Derrick doesn't win?![]()
Anyone else get the feeling they aren't going to do jury questions this season? Julie just seems to be so purposely vague when describing the finale that it almost seems like there won't be any time for that.
Then again, I can't really remember the last time a BB finale actually matter so maybe who cares.

It is a pretty big flaw in the game. An undeserving player wins money, while 3rd place is often one of the best players in the game that just couldn't win that final comp.
I want Victoria to win. It's unlikely, but I want her to win. If she wins the leftover comps it might be possible. Staying out of all the drama is difficult to do. She's won competitions until she realized she no longer needed to. She approached Derrick to make an alliance, and ensured she did nothing to make Derrick want to leave her. If she made waves, Derrick would have to pick between her and his alliance. She became invisible while being nominated 9 times. Usually people who stop winning things are evicted anyway because they are a part of drama. Usually the pawn goes home. But not Victoria. She was as carried as Cody was.
Derrick did manipulate people, which is great, but I'm not as amazed by him as everyone seems to be. He played with a house full of idiots.
What the what?
Victoria did not win any competitions other than a couple BotB's where the other person carried her and the one PoV because dipshit Caleb took money instead of the veto. When even Jocasta is calling you out for sucking at comps, you have a huge problem.
As to your other point, I honestly cannot decide if Victoria was the ultimate embodiment of a "pawn" or something that even transcends the concept. She didn't stay out of drama because she's playing a game, she is just fully entrenched in a mental and emotional bubble. This force is so powerful, not even being on a reality show for 90+ days was able to make a crack. I think the only time she ever showed some spunk was when she went all delusional crazy towards Zach for a couple days in the middle.
She escaped the "pawn goes home" trope because she was absolutely so worthless as a game player that NINE of these evictions were figuratively ONE person on the block. You can blame this season's ridiculous unanimous voting structure on two things, the BotB twist and Victoria.
I'm disgusted at myself for even saying it because it's so stupid, but if I was in Derrick's position, I would take Cody to the finals. I'd rather lose $450k than watch her get rewarded $50k for being the most worthless person to ever grace my television.
I'll try and end with at least some kind of positive comment for Victoria. It is impressive she is still in the house. She was 100% obviously cast to be the first evictee. Thanks to the BotB "twist" though, her inadequacy as a person actually made her valuable to the giant alliance already in the house.
I'm thinking about applying for next season. Should I or is it just a lost cause?
Caleb shutting down Frankie was glorious. But Caleb is as delusional, so pot meet kettle.

You mean how they were loyal and honest with the other guys about being final 3 and final 4? They've been using the Victoria pawn and backstabbing alliance members for over a month now. If they were loyal and honest she would have been gone long ago.Cody states that he and Derrick have been completely loyal and honest with each other from the beginning but did Derrick tell him that the whole fight with Victoria was a ruse?
I have a feeling Derrick might betray Cody in the end. Or at least I hope.
Guys, what if Derrick doesn't win?![]()
What the what?
This season has been too easy for Derrick. :/
I could totally see Cody taking Victoria as well. I'm going to be pissed and amused at the same time if Victoria wins $50k by being the absolute worst player in the game.
What's going to be worse is seeing people try to emulate her "game" in future seasons so they can get that guaranteed money ...
I think this season has been one of the least interesting ones, and seeing a "floater" get so far makes you start to question the concept entirely. Is it a valid strategy? Does anyone who makes it to F2 deserve it, regardless of how they got there? We hear so much about how winning comps is not criteria for winning the title. Nor is a pure social game. It's how you navigate all of the challenge and drama. It's just sort of polarizing to look at Victoria and where she is right now. If I were playing Big Brother and I saw this odd BoTB twist and all these crazy egos, would I ever consider to stay the hell out of everyone's way, make myself so unthreatening that my very existence is comfort and strategic foundation for others, and see what that does?
Her prescense in the house became an essential piece of everyone's strategy. They needed her and the status she achieved. They needed her 8 times, and they knew they could count on her each time. So many pawns crack under pressure, and the target shifts. This was not an option for Victoria.
I think that's sort of fascinating. By only making a few traditional, measurable game moves and ensuring she pissed no one off and had no real mental break in a house with strangers away from her family, she became essential in her "diposable" nature.
It's great. I want her to win.
Agreed. He's good, I wonder how good he'd be with a cast that actually understood how the game they were playing worked (seriously, we laugh about Victoria but half the house did not understand that they cannot choice the POV replacement themselves or know who OTEV was). Britney was found in a bar, Frankie was a result of a cross promotional deal between Arianna's manager who happens to be the man behind Scorpion, Caleb and Amber are models who want to be famous, etc.
Just give us fans of the show. The demographic is really wide.
Victoria is not a floater. A floater is someone who 'floats' to where the power is (usually the HOH) . Victoria does none of that and her only 'alliance' is a phony one. I don't think she understands what Big Brother even is and is as useless as someone like Jen City or Kathy.
She was also never in control of her own destiny in the game. You don't hand 500K to someone like that.

They handed Jordan 500k.
