8/10/20 Big Brother 22 Live Feed Spoilers and Updates!!!

They finally opened the backyard for the houseguests last night. Ian got reunited with his beloved hammock after some inital trepidation about it possibly squeaking. He should be more comfortable now. Nicole A is not handling the new slop well and was sick yesterday. BB really needs to rethink slop. It doesn't really get featured on the show and makes houseguests on it sick, constipated, and sluggish.

 

At this point pretty much everyone in the house is allied with Cody or Tyler and many are allied with both of them. It's a very messy pool of alliances this year. BB is typically the most fun when you have two distinct sides. Production tried to set that up with old school and new school players, but the players are all latching onto anyone and everyone in alliances and there are no clear lines between the two sides. There are just a ton of overlapping alliances. 

 

Kevin and Keesha are campaigning for votes and Kevin has an apparent edge, but we've got time for that to change before Thursday. Cody is largely wasting this HOH on two less threatening players in a house filled with sharks. His initial instinct to target two alphas in Janelle and Kaysar was smart, but when that failed he went after two of the least dangerous players.

 

You've got two past winners in Nicole F and Ian. Physical/comp threats in Christmas, Enzo, Tyler, David, Kaysar, Bayleigh, Da'Vonne, Janelle. Master strategists in Janelle, Daniele, Ian, and maybe Memphis. And three less significant threats in Nicole A, Kevin, and Keesha. And Cody goes after the least significant threats. I'd target players who scare me. If Cody is afraid of Keesha and Kevin, well, he's in trouble. Flush the people who scare you whenever you get the chance and take your chances with the rest.

 

The POV ceremony will take place later today and the POV probably won't be played. You can never be sure what Enzo will do, but Cody doesn't want it played, so Enzo will likely go along with that. Then everyone goes into killing time mode until the live show on Thursday. Kevin and Keesha will campaign for votes and both will be largely assured they're safe. Right now, Kevin looks like he'll stay, but you never know.

I give Cody a bit of a pass on this first hoh. Pregaming aside, walking into a cold house (actually freezing as the players are saying it's like the Arctic Circle!), but figuratively as well with some people that were expected, some not, and having only what amounts to a day and a half to figure it out would be hard. The organic split happened almost immediately with the old/new school sides and Cody, as you said, choose the two main threats not in the his group. Then, just as he was feeling good about his choice, along comes the Safety Suite twist and there goes his plan. During that time he was able to see how few players were actually on the old school side. It was pretty much just Janelle and Kaysar who are safe, Keesha, and Memphis who, in reality, is aligned with Cody. It didn't leave him much to choose from.

 

Granted the best move would be to look for the next two most dangerous players. The problem was that nobody was making alliances. Everyone was, and still is, dancing around who is going to solidly align with who. 

 

Then it starts to look like everyone wants to align with Cody including Janelle and possibly even Kaysar which, again, leaves him with few choices. In the end he decided to go with the two people he knew the least, would create the smallest wave, and hoping that whoever stayed wasn't going to want major revenge. Considering everyone that wants to work with him I can see where he was in a tight spot. He didn't want to pick the wrong people and make unintentional enemies so he looked for the two people who seemed the least connected. His only other choices fitting those criteria were Nicole A and Ian. NicA is even less of threat and Ian, if he could be recruited, would be a major asset on Cody's side and so far it's hard to gauge where Ian will fit in.

 

It seems like first hoh should be pretty easy. There are 15 people to choose from they're all strangers. This season it's different. He had 15 people but he knew most of them and the ones who saw as threatening were saved with a twist. I think once the two sides become more solid choosing the targets should be easier.

 

Adding to everything is that Cody is a pretty simple minded guy. I don't mean he's stupid--I don't think he's stupid by any means. He's just not a great strategist. If Cody is going to get far he needs a partner like what he had with Derrick. Enzo is a bit of a hothead and he talks too much. Memphis, from what I've seen so far, isn't a big step above Cody in the strategy department. He's good, and likely loyal, but Cody needs a major thinker--someone who isn't playing day to day but seeing the long game. Personally I think that guy is either Ian or Tyler. The question is...

WHERE ARE THE FREAKING ALLIANCES!!! :

 

Sorry about that, I was just having a mini-meltdown. Smiley Very Happy

I seldom post to the BB threads because I never seem to like those popular with the majority.

For example, I find Kaysar a pompous braggart and Janelle distasteful. Although, I do agree that Nicole F is annoying.

@occasionalrain There's no requirement here to be of like mind or have the same opinion as anyone else. Hopefully we're all able to have our own opinions, say how we feel about players, and still be kind and respectful to each other.

The POV ceremony is going on now. Expect Enzo to pocket the POV.

 

Cody sent out both Memphis and Enzo to recruit still more allies earlier. Oddly enough each is supposed to recruit people already allied with Cody. It's an interesting game Cody is playing.

They finally turned the feeds back on and it appears the POV ceremony has been over for a while. The POV apparently wasn't used.

The slop is normally a prepared, commercial product. This year they're making the houseguests assemble the slop ingredients themselves. They're given the oats, protein powder, and vitamins and have to mix it up. There's some belief that they were given the wrong oats. These apparently stay very hard regardless of how they're prepared.
