OK, I know that everyone (HG's included) seem to think that Mike and Will have some power in this house. I don't see it. I think the power they have is solely there because people believe it is there and because they keep proclaiming it to everyone. To me, their power is all bravado and if the HG's stopped believing the bravado, they would realize these two guys have no more power and likely less ability to win people to their side than anyone else in the house.

Hi What. I don't think it matters if CT's power is real or perceived. Perception is reality in some cases. Will/Boogie only have the power other's allow them to have. No they don't really have the power everyone seems to think they do, but early in BB2 who would have thought Evil Dr. Will would win? The other HG's are afraid he has the ability to do that again. Real power is so unstable in the BB house, they are just exercising their own version of it. Who knows when/if it will bite them in the rear. JMO

I think that's a valid point, Jh. Perception is reality. Do you think the others will figure it out? I think it would be a kick watching Mike and Will scurrying to gain favor from others because the rest of them have decided to dismiss them as little more than two other players. In fact, it would be fun to see the others publicly brand them as floaters, doing nothing more than proclaiming their own power. Somehow, I think Will and Mike might go really crazy if they were dismissed as wannabe but impotent power brokers. I think it would be fun to watch, say he with a sadistic gleam in his eye!

It's easy to see that Will and Mike have no power, perceived or otherwise. You look to see how they are behaving and that is in a very mean and petty manner...hence they know wherein the real power lies and thus feel compelled to tear at the real power brokers verbally, due to their own uneasy and lowly stature in the house.

I think they are coming off silly when they talk about their power

Power? Every time they Talk, all I could think is how they will try to make this on TV. THat's their only gaol. Deep down they know what's what. Will really wants out not just for show. He thought he'd be the first one on the chopping block and get out of there free and clear after another face time and putting his website out. Boogie is not that dumb. He knows what did not work last time around and is not seriously expecting it to work now. Face time, another 15 minutes and more revenue .... that's the kind of power they want.

What - I think you are right on in the statement that it would annoy Will and Boogie for the others to realize how little power they really have. It's all about how the houseguests controll (or not)their reactions to them. Will and Boogie may very well be there for their additional 15 minutes of fame like Chy said, but they will use it to any advantage they can inside the house as well. Kaysar's agreement with them (it doesn't matter if anyone intends to honor it or not) creates the impression that they are manipulating events even if they aren't. Let's face it, they keep the house stirring even if they are not the nicest of people.}

Just an updat on ChillTown's power. Seamonkey posted this conversation with Dani, Marci and Erica: Erika comes outside, after much bashing of the four by Dani and Marcellas and says Jase is still in there.. he is sure they are working Jase. Now he says THEY created chilltown, gave it power. Kaysar threatens, instead of just saying he made a mistake. If he asked as a favor, after admitting he made two mistakes, maybe .. This happened after Kaysar tried to make Dani and Marci change their votes from keeping Diane to keeping Nak.}

I think all the hgs had a real blow to their collective egos when they saw all the attention and huge public approval Kaysar and Janelle got last year. They can't beleive it and and now they hate J and K.
