In tonight's episode, the housemole, Eric achieved his objective by secretly vandalizing Jen's pillow with mustard. I have to say I am not big on vandalizing anything and am kind of disappointed that Big Brother chose to make the personal invasion of someone's space a part of the show.
Eric's ploy allowed Jen to lie low because everyone wanted to appear innocent. That is the problem with anonymous acts of cruelty. So often, the victim is some third-party who played no role in the event at all.
Kail played a very-smart move tonight that changed the course of the game--IF she wins the vote. She managed to shift the target from her back to Mike's, while putting him on the block to replace Jen, the winner of the POV. Kail has slimmed and toned since entering the house and life there seems to be agreeing with her.;)
Tonight's POV competition was classic. Half the houseguests donned Alice in Wonderland costumes and balanced glasses on their heads, while the others donned costumes and tried to taunt them in to messing up.
Right away, it was easy to tell where loyalties lay in the house and Kail managed to get Mike to do her dirty work by taunting Dick to the point of anger, giving Jen the POV and making Mike a bigger threat in Dick's eyes to the extent that Dick nominated him when Jen obviously used the POV to remover herself from the block. Marcalis remains the only BB contestant ever, stupid enough to refuse to save their own hide. Congrats, Marcalis.
Eric our houseguest will get a new target for elimination via a viewer poll, so I don't know where his vote lies. If he can wrangle his way into a sound alliance mid-game he may go far. The assignments give him a look into public sentiment and that can't hurt his chances.
Dustin, Jameka and Amber are playing the smartest game. They are letting the power-hungry alliances duke it out while they enjoy the pleasures of houselife.
Nick is still working Daniele and overdoing it in my estimation. I have no idea if he has "real" feelings for her and in such a contrived setting I hardly think that matters. Gamewise, he is not playing it smart by creating a special bond or by angering Dick by appearing to play his daughter.
Dick had the game well in hand until he kept trying to control the whole house following his nominations. If you are HOH, once you nominate, it really doesn't matter who goes home. He managed to make another enemy in the house and certainly didn't make any friends along the way. He even managed to break down the renewed bond that had started to develop with his daughter Daniele. His strength seems to lie in competitions...the man is amazing. He is always in the final two at the end of every go around.
In all honesty, Jen may be playing the smartest game of all. She is considered to be mutually-disliked and this may play very well to her advantage. She has managed to slip back into the woodwork after a pretty straightforward stint as HOH.
Of all the players, Dustin seems in the best spot. Once the major alliances finish grinding their axes his group may propel him into a sweet spot at the end. It is still early in the game and a lot can change but for now he is doing quite well.
