Mike barely even speaks in that house you can barely get a word in edgewise if Eric, dick or Amber are within earshot talking I've heard Mike speak quite a bit as in small talk in the kitchen. I think he is playing the game, but very low key considering the aggressive players already there.

When is Eric going to be told America want Kail out?? I can't wait to see him trying to get Kail out instead of Mike and watch Dick going ballistic!!!

Mike is total dead weight on this show. Pretty, but dense. He adds nothing. I can't think of a houseguest who has added less, except for maybe Beau in season 6. Mike is also a terrible player. Is his strategy to keep quiet about everything? If so, why be so obvious during the recent POV about his alliance with Kail. He just doesn't seem to have any assets aside from his looks.

Kail has to go. She is far too bossy but thankfully I think she landed in a house with nobody to boss. lol

Kail is bossy so has to go? Using this criteria, Dick is the one who needs to go next.

I have a feeling that the tide will be turning and we may see Miss Kail's behind strolling out of that front door. Go Eric !

If Mike stays, he becomes a much larger threat to Dick. The house is weary of Dick's manipulations and authoritarianism and is turning against him. Mike is the one who has shown himself capable of withstanding Dick's bluster, bravado and tirades. Thus Mike is likely to become the one around whom others coalesce when they are done using Dick and decide to cast him in the trash can of BB history.

I wasn't on the feeds much last night- Does anyone know what Eric has been up to? Was he trying to switch it up so Kail is evicted? Are they voting today or live on Thursday?

What - ITA. Mike's actions in front of Dick during the POV were designed to impress the HG's with the fact that he can stand up to Dick. I'm not sure it was very smart, and I'm not sure he expected his actions to result in being nominated... BUT... If he does survive and Kail goes home, I could see a Dick-disenchanted house forming a solid alliance behind Mike in order to have someone on point to get Dick out.

OK, I've just read around a bit and answered my own questions. Eric has started working to evict Kail and there is going to be a meeting about it today. Not quite sure who is included in that meeting though. The vote is on Thursday. I guess it will always be live to give Eric more of a chance to sway the vote?

Kminfinity stated: I'm not sure it was very smart, and I'm not sure he expected his actions to result in being nominated... I saw Mike doing this as fantastic. Finally, someone stood up to Dick. I don't think Dick had a chance of winning that POV against Jen, so IMO what Mike did was good, not stupid. He was going to be nominated anyway, because Jen would take herself off the block and Mike was always No. 3 to go up. The viewers voted Kail to get the boot, so this move saved him....I hope. I read that Eric wanted to have a group discussion, but it doesn't appear to have happened last night..or..it wasn't on the Live Feeds. ETA: Yes, Mike could be seen at someone help get Dick out. I guess he was telling Jen last night that he had to decide who he wanted in seq. or something like that. Maybe they will get Dick out before sequester. Kmjm..yes..it appears it's live voting from now on, so Eric has a bit of time to switch things up.

I think the discussion is for TODAY, Cricket. Mike's play could work out, so maybe in the long run it'll be seen as a pivotal moment in his game. But even if he was 100% sure he would be the replacement nom, it might have been safer to do nothing: *Jen could have won anyway, leaving him off the block *Even if he was nommed, Dick's focus was on evicting Kail, not Mike - so it was more like he was a pawn. Just a *bit* safer on the block. Now, the HG's feel more comfortable evicting him instead of Kail since Dick's cool with that now.

I think ( I hope Mike) is smarter then we think because to plead his case too early would be useless because the house changes there mind on a whim so it is smart to do it closer to the eviction time. if he didnt think he could make it thru the evictions would he have stood up to Dick. and by the way all I see Dick doing is bulling everyone, the same thing he jumped on Jen for.

Remember Eric doesn't HAVE to sway the house. He will succeed in the task just by voting for Kail himself in private.

If Mike can survive this, he has positioned himself quite nicely. HG's would now look at him in a new light if he remains. ED's playing has been too much bullying imo.

Are you sure Kiari? I thought to win he had to make sure AC was evicted.

now is the time for the houseguest to stand up to ed because he can't hurt anyone,and also I bet Eric needs to get the houseguest to change their votes so he won't look like the only one not compliant with the house, so he won't be a target.

I agree Cricket. I think Jen was determined to win and she would have and Mike would have gone up anyway and this way Mike proved her is not a "switcher" and just takes the easy road and I was SOOO happy to see someone stand up to [Dick]!!! <~77>

I would rather see Mike go than Kail. He does nothing but eat. She at least stirs up the house a little. Watching him sit in the kitchen and eat is not much fun.

I would rather see Kael go because of nothing she did , just because Mike had the guts to stand up to ed. I also agree with cricket

I am placing my money on whoever stays will win the next HOH. If it happens, then I have to believe HOH contest is just as scripted as the rest of the show. Whichever one of these two wins HOH will put ED back up.

Looks like Eric started throwing hints that maybe it's best to get rid of Kail... (He may be as confused as the others at our pick). I'm not sure I want Kail gone, I still think she's better at this game than Mike. I just want to see Dick unsettled by Eric's move and maybe target Eric next. Or maybe I just want to see Dick losing control of the house entirely, how dare someone change his plans??? LOL
