I can take a test and look like a genius, and in fact I have that IQ. However, I can't hook up a TV to a DVD player, measure for drapes, or tell you one thing about science beyond salt is salty Oh my gosh, Lajonesin, I'm the same way. Remember when they had that TV show to test the nation a few years back? I was @ 99% on all the subjects except mechanical, which you described above. I have ZERO mechanical ability. I think you would still be considered extremely smart, as I think it's a male/female thing re the mechanical ability. My husband isn't as smart as I am in some ways, but in mechanical ability very smart. It's all greek to me. It boggles my mind how different males/females are in many ways. I see Janelle was on a tear last night, but has cozied up to the current HOH, which has been her gameplay this year. Did she find out her team didn't like her or what? Was Ashely in the HOH room when Janelle was talking about her team?

Reader, I read this was the new alliance, Janelle, Dan, Dani, Shane, Brit oh and supposedly Ash. I think she's in the downstairs alliance as well, lol. I can't believe Shane and Dani are being so gullible. They could wipe out the coaches, but this was Grodners plan; make them dependent on their coaches for four weeks. Kind of like Stockhom syndrome.

I actually enjoy seeing previous cast members return to see if their strategy on how to play the game changes. However, I don’t think it’s fair to mix the Vets and Newbies. It should be all Newbies or all All Stars. Newbies pretty much want to work with friends and people they like; on the other hand the vets right away target the team leaders and the most physical. Dan is a master at mind F’ing people’s minds. I liked him during his season and I thought he deserved his win. He kept his eye on the prize. This season I can see why he was so successful. When he talks to people he never outright leads them anywhere, he lays back or down and rest his hands on his head. This is a very subtle show of non-threatening vulnerability and submissiveness, although far from it. He speaks with a low tone that’s soothing and kind. He asks questions that will eventually lead the person he’s talking to; to the direction he wants them to go. His head is always on the game, just like before.He could be a cult leader.

they are thinking Boogie would have Ian. Ian will do whatever boogie says and they know that.

Mom of three stated: Makes no sense for boogie that each of the other laches can keep 1 player but he can't I can't believe Dan went to him so quick to get him in the Coaches alliance. Dan is not playing it cool this year and he lost last night to Boogie. To me, the old Dan would have waited until the POV was over before he made a move. ETA: I completely agree with you. How would Dan have liked it if Frank won HOH and Danielle was on the block?

They are having a nice discussion. Wil seems much calmer than yesterday.

Will is saying lots of important sane things he should have been telling Danielle yesterday instead of Janie this morning.

I disagree. Waiting until after pov either gives boogie too much power or helpless. Going to him last night makes the offer seem more earnest and legit. Also there were no winners or losers there but Dan accomplished his goal to set the groundwork for a future with boogie. Boogie wants to save Frank which is not happening, so if you want to score it I don't see how boogie gets the edge. Dan rightfully so was shocked boogie was acting like an over emotional newbie and not an experienced player with killer instinct.

Marksman, I guess that could be true, but Dan seems to be scrambling so hard in the beginning of this game. Maybe I'm more aware of his gameplay now than when he was on before. Wasn't the agreement that Frank stays? In that respect Dan didn't win; Boogie did. Dan has already started making remarks about Wil. Janelle doesn't understand why her team fell apart? Wow. She just doesn't seem to know what people are thinking in the house. Have the Veto peeps been picked yet and will it be rigged that Janelle plays? If so, will Janelle's new alliance be up for her removing Will? I don't think she's really in her so-called new alliance. She wants Shane out too much.

Morning everyone. Has anyone heard if Boogie has told Frank that if it gets down to the two of them in the POV to throw it to him? That really is the only way to insure both of their safety.

Rehtse, for some reason, Janelle's team has never liked her. She kind of has a love/hate relationship with Wil. He goes to her when he needs her like now. He's afraid he's going home. Says the pawn always goes home and this is the first week of the new game. Ashley thinks she's fake and Joe doesn't want her making deals for him. Must be because she doesn't lie as well as he thinks he does, lol.

Wil resented her saving him last week but this week...its a whole different story. I'm sure he'll resent her for it again next week if he stays

The way the teams worked out were interesting. Janelle's problem is Joe and Wil both hated the coach idea, probably more than anyone except maybe Willie. Janelle managed to keep all three of her players in despite the fact that two of them were not really playing ball. I give her credit for that for sure.

HA! Danielle just told Boogie she didn't know even sitting on the couch how she was going to vote. Dan told him last night that Danielle told him the night before. Funny

Too bad about Janelle's team. I think Ashley wants to be the blonde 'star' this season and for that reason will use Janelle but try to get her out. Joe resents that she's saved Wil those times...plus i think he doesn't want a woman telling him what to do. Wil is just so indecisive and is playing a bad game.

Rhetse--Will basically doesn't like having a coach, and he's projecting that onto his own coach (Janelle). He's open to any reason to dislike her. Specifically, Joe told him a few days back (spun it) that Janelle was talking about kissing everyone's xxx to keep Wil safe (and she really did dissuade Shane? from putting Wil up). Wil took offense to someone "saving" him, especially Janelle. He thinks he can do his own work. When Janelle probes about why no one is working with her, Wil dances around and says it's a new game. He's the one who wants to get the coaches out first and I heard him tell Janelle this morning Joe wanted to get the coaches. So Wil just doesn't like the notion that Janelle is helping his game. I'm thinking he might be more receptive to her help today although he did respond to her this morning by saying he wasn't going to ask for her help. She didn't get the nuance that he wants to do it all himself specifically without Janelle's help. She doesn't get that the notion that her helping him or saving him just irks him.
