Things still seem on track for Nicole A to leave on Thursday, but David is cleverly playing (or not playing) himself back into contention as the evictee. David is kind of dense in the way lead is kind of dense. Janelle and David had a meeting in the storeroom where Janelle laid out how things were in the house and it pretty much went right over David's head. His whole focus is on being the first black player to make the jury in fifteen years. He's going to have to get dragged there by everyone else if he gets that far as he sure doesn't deserve it based on his play. Bayleigh and Da'Vonne are far more likely to reach that goal. And I mean far more likely. They're playing well. David, not so much.
Nicole meanwhile is still convinced that Kaysar and Janelle are Satan and Satanette and that's actually improving her chances of staying in the house. Cody and his multi-alliances are pretty comfortable that should Nicole somehow stumble into power, she'd target Janelle, Kaysar, and Memphis. Which she would because she just knows they're the reason she's on the block right now. Janelle and Kaysar aren't her problem and ultimately neither is Memphis. Memphis nominated her because he thought her nomination would upset the fewest people. If anything, those three would rather keep her. They're not as sure about what David would do. David doesn't know what to do most of the time so why should they?
Janelle and Kaysar have been putting in work and have some "sort of" side alliances. Bayleigh and Da'Vonne are more or less with them. Christmas is lingering there on the edge. They've got Ian seeing the big alliance (one of them anyway) and realizing he's not in it, but his final two partner of Nicole F is in it. He's a bit conflicted about what to do going forward. He doesn't want to betray Nicole F who he knows Janelle and Kaysar are targeting, but he also knows Nicole F isn't being a hundred percent loyal to him.
If Janelle or Kaysar win HOH this week, they'll suddenly have a lot of support around them,. If they don't win HOH this week one of them is going bye-bye. To say the alliances in the house are a bit fluid is an understatement. By Daniele's count she's in eight alliances Cody has started and there are some he's started that don't include her.
The house is set up for a pretty volatile swing with pretty much everyone allied with pretty much everyone else whether they know it or not. Cody's going to need a miracle to survive. Once, Janelle and Kaysar are gone, he'll be having to lose alliance members and if he's HOH that means he'll have to nominate alliance members.
Nothing much should happen today. There's always the chance Nicole A will call a house meeting to expose the wretched horrors of Janelle and Kaysar, but Nicole A is more talk than action. Her head is going to explode when she learns the truth. I don't know where her head is in this game but it's certainly not on her shoulders. Kevin's proctologist may find it or possibly Daniele's but Nicole A's head is not in the game.
Speaking as a fan of the show, two of the people I would not trust or believe under any circumstances are Kevin and Daniele. Both are known liars in the game while Janelle and Kaysar are more solid, trustworthy players. So, who does Nicole A trust? The two biggest liars in the game. She is going to need to be in a padded cell for a bit after the game just so she doesn't concuss herself by pounding her head against a wall. "What was I thinking?" will be a recurring theme in her nightmares.
Today will probably be the last yard day this week then things will get shutdown tomorrow to prepare for the new HOH comp. Nicole A and her absurdly bad read on the house and her desperate attempt to target the only people in the house trying to keep her may just end up with her staying in the house since she's not targeting the rest while David is more of a loose cannon and unpredictable. (Not that he's ever likely to win anything, but still, you never know.)
I've gone from wanting Nicole A to go far in the game to wanting her gone. She's just a mess this year. So, with that said, she may just end up surviving this week. If she does, she'll likely hang around quite a while. Whoever leaves may still have a shot to return to the game. Keesha reportedly hasn't returned home yet. They let her do unsupervised interviews which typically means she's free, but in an all-star season they may not be as concerned about what she could learn from an interviewer. What would she learn? That Kaysar and Janelle tried to keep her? She already knows that.
If Nicole A leaves this week and they let her do unsupervised interviews that would imply she's not coming back. Obviously the first question she'd be asked by an interviewer is "Why didn't you trust Janelle and Kaysar?" The interviewer would then explain they had her back and were honest with her the whole time while everyone else was lying to her. We'll have to see what happens on Friday as the interviews take place. If they let the interviewers have unlimited access, Nicole A is likely gone.
