I was saying somewhere else that Boogie is itching to get a bigger fish to fry before Joe. Will and Ashley are sure Joe is a target and yet don't realize that Boogie is after someone else and not a weak player like Joe. I can't wait to see Shane's face when he's asked to be the pawn. Since Boogie likes to backdoor a bigger threat he better go as a pawn so he has a chance to play for Veto and win. Those who are not picked for veto (Brit for example) better watch out, there is a reason. It takes someone like Boogie to shamelessly backdoor someone like Brit, Dan or Shane. Frank is not that mean a player. (Actually when Boogie had suggested getting rid of Brit when Frank was still on the block, Frank was quite shocked by the suggestion).

The supposed reason for Shane to be the pawn is that he has the veto ticket. If he is not formally picked, does he make a 7th veto player if he uses it?

Oh that's right, I forgot about Shane's veto and I think Boogie forgot as well. It should be interesting to see what Shane will say about his veto power, maybe with Boogie they will use his veto power to backdoor Brit. Shane doesn't even have to try to win POV and for sure he will have to use it if he doesn't win leaving the backdoor open for Brit (if she is not picked for the pov competition)... and another coach goes down as Boogie wishes.

Spunk I think he doesn't have a diamond veto, just a ticket that lets him PLAY in the veto comp if he isn't playing already. Shane hasn't even checked to see if it's good for this week only, that's how clueless some of them are.

LOL.. I think when Shane won the ticket, they said it would allow him to play in the NEXT veto competition... I'm thinking he will stand up there with the HOH and the nominees...and they will only pick two other players... BUT... who knows...maybe 7 will be playing for veto...

oops, I may be just as clueless as Shane.. I thought he won the veto power not a simple ticket to play the comp. Then why use it when he could still play by just being a pawn and if he doesn't win the veto he could be evicted and his ticket gone unused! So, if he is asked to be a pawn he should totally refuse it and be quite mad about it. Time to show some backbone Shane!!

I agree Spunk. The ticket is sort of useless - if you are nominated, you play anyway. If you are not nominated you might play anyway. It does mean you are guaranteed to play so a back door can't technically be planned - but just because you play doesn't mean you win. You could still be sent home. A better ticket would be that you could REMOVE someone who is playing veto; thus removing a threat who may use the power resulting in you possibly being put up, or if you are already playing, remove a strong competitor who could keep you from saving yourself.

Km- good idea in theory, but you'd have to limit it a little; you can remove the randomly picked players or the HOH, but you can't remove one of the nominees- they deserve a chance to save themselves.

Yeah the noms would have to be allowed to play.

So what Shane needs to do is refuse to be a pawn and if he's not nominated use the ticket to play for pov for a chance to win, and win he must, otherwise he may still be evicted. If evicted, the only consolation for him would be that he was not backdoored and tried his best. I suspect either Shane or Brit are Boogie's target, it would be too ridiculous to get rid of Joe (that's what he's thinking).

As I suspected Brit, AND Dan were not picked for POV. We'll see now how Boogie is going to mastermind another backdoor to get rid of another former coach, more likely Brit.

I don't know where to put this, but I amcatching up BBAD from night before last. Towards the end Brit, Dan & Dani were "Chatting" in a Bedroom... Wil came by.... Allof a sudden Br fessed that she's in 3 alliances, she cant even keep up... Advengers(S6?),QP, the 4 that Wil figured out and they're trying to give a cute name....... I had to laugh because by my count she has at least 2 more, one w/Shane, onew/Dani, she told D a female could only win with another in the F2. Could some one remember more? Not dissing her just laughing along w/her.

Janie wanted her and Britney in the F2 and Britney worked tirelessly to get Janie Backdoored so I'm gonna guess that Brit's strategy is not unlike her Season 12 strategy which was attach herself to a big guy that wins and get booted Final 4.

Britney also had told Ian, in one of their hammock talks, that if she could have had a choice, before coming in the house, she would have picked all guys. Shane, Frank and Ian. I think that in general, women are too hard to work wiht. They are too tempermental, emotional and can not keep their mouths shut. Although that last one is not limited to women

Yeah, Brit, how did that all guy alliance work out for ya in your season? lol A while back, Brit clued Danielle in on the fact that a female has NEVER won against a male in 13 seasons... perhaps she wasn't listening to herself. Houseguest strategies? Hmm. Not sure anyone but Dan and Boogie even have one or could define the word much less spell it.

Agreed. The only people really playing the game are Dan and Boogie with Shane and Frank a poor third and fourth. At least Britney and Danielle are with the majority. The rest are hopeless.

I feel sorry for Shane, he has to do Dan and Brit's dirty game, getting rid of Boogie or Frank. I knew that Shane is easily convinced one way or the other and now is again against Frank and Boogie just because Boogie didn't care for HOH but only wanted the money and of course by now Dan and Britney know that they were Frank and Boogie's next targets. So, will Shane have the courage to put them up on the block? I'm curious to see how Boogie will spin his story to Shane. In a way I'm sorry for Frank, he had a golden opportunity to get rid of a coach but Boogie stopped him and he may never get that chance again. Of course Dan already told Shane not to target Boogie, just Frank. Oh Shane, you're so naive!! (This thread is titled Houseguests Strategy and so I'm only posting what they might do, not what I would do).

i wish someone would realize that if they don't get Boogie out now, he will be in the jury house and will try to get the Final Vote to go his way, like his idol, Will did in Allstars

Frank knows that he & Boog are seen as a pair with himself being the more urgent one to evict. Boog is proly happy just hidding behind Fr while working his magic. But what is Frank doing now? Has he learned any tricks from the master Boog and branchingout on his own, yet?

So we've come up with 7 diff. alliances Brit is in? I think she might have an unspoken F2w/ Dan also since they lamented about how a caoch could only win w/ another one in F2. I think she is playing pretty smart now. She has Shane & Dani for the muscle, herself for brain, Ian to gather info, Dan for the voice of reason the rest to use as votes or kickers.... She just needs to worry about Froog. She will have to make sure to do the 1st strik on them or risk sitting next to Dan on the block soon. E to fix typo

Nice analysis of Britney's game. The question I have is who can Britney beat in the final two? I'm impressed with how well the three remaining returnees have played.

i think she could beat any newbie but Frank. She could very well beat Dan or Boogie too, but if Boogie's in the jury house he would be campaigning against her for Frank or Dan

Flossiebebe, that's why I want Boogie out next. I don't want him to have any influence over the jury members. Once Boogie is gone, I want Frank to win HOH & send Shane, Danielle, Dan or Brit out. I can't plan anymore in advance than that. LOL

Ohhh, I think I want Frank to win HOH & nominate Dan/Shane. I want Danielle & Brit's allegiance to them strained.
