I don't get the Sheila/Allison being a lesbian couple strategy at all. What purpose does it serve other than making them an even bigger target? I’m not ready to declare it the worst strategic move ever, but it could be depending how it all unfolds. At this point it’s best for them to keep it going until the show ends. Admitting the truth could hurt them more in the game than the lie itself.

As far as I can see it is a totally illogical strategy. It makes absolutely no sense.

Stupidest move so for for me is Alex and Amanda nominating 2 members of their alliance and expecting them not to go home. Same goes for Natalie and Mattie not saving them.

Big Brother rule number one, don't nominate someone you are not willing to see leave the house. The pawn always gets voted out (ie Dustin last year and Marcellus in Allstars)

I am actually with another poster that said Jen outing her relationship with Ryan to Parker so soon - THEN outing it to the rest of the house, too! - is the stupidest move yet this season.

Couldn't she have found another way to convince Parker that Ryan didn't call him a snake, without revealing that they were a couple, which is pretty much the kiss of death?

And here she was so convinced she was going to win this thing...

1. Stupid Move #1: Jen and Parker outing Jen/Ryan to the rest of the house.

2. Stupid Move #2: Jen outing herself to Parker.

3. Stupid Move #3: Jen and Parker outing Jen/Ryan to Allison.

4. Stupid Move #4: Amanda going after Parker, forgetting that she has a partner with whom she's supposed to play the game.

Carmen you are right about that too. I said the same thing. They saw it as a disadvantage, instead of the advantage it was.

P/J and R/A could have been a tight alliance of 4. The best part was they had separate alliances. P/J could have worked the A/A and N/M side of the house and R/A could have worked the other side of the house. No one would have figured it out and they could have played both sides against the middle.

This group is dumb dumb dumb.

Also has any of these house guests ever seen the show before. They have no clue how live eviction night works, Alex thought Showtime was on a couple day delay, they have no clue how much down time there is even when that's all the house guests say every year is how bored they are and some other things I can't think of right now.

I said a while ago that Allison really blew it. She could've had a secret alliance that would've probably helped both teams get further ahead. But instead she got all freaked out cause her soul mate was already souling after someone else. She pulled a Parker... the sour grapes thing.

I also think it's stupid that Allie didn't see the relationship between Jen and Ryan as THE tightest 4 alliance in the house, and use it to her advantage. She wanted Ryan, so her temper tantrums started the whole breakdown. She could have been sitting pretty, knowing two other people outside of her own partnership would be working HARD to keep her in the game, and she could have ridden those coat tails for at least a few weeks!

I think the Jen/Ryan thing wasn't horrible, but Allie's reaction was just bizarre, from a game play angle.

Carmenv - I agree with you re Jen/Parker. Worst move to date.

Jen outing her relationship with Ryan on day 2 had nothing to do with the game or protecting Ryan, it had everything to do with making sure Allison kept her hands off of Ryan.

Stupidest move by far (even though there has been many so far) is Allison not realizing that she had extreme advantage being paired with a twist. A solid Alliance that would never betray them. What an advantage and all she saw was the fact she couldnt make a relationship in this game with Ryan. Extreme Stupid!! All she saw was "red" (anger) and "Green" (envy). She should have been thinking about the "green" to come

Tasha, exactly about the alliance that would never betray them. Can't really trust any of the other hg's but right there was the perfect opportunity to know that this particular alliance wouldn't turn on you and your partner. That's what makes outting them such a dumb move to me...all four of them should have kept their mouths shut and snuck around a little!

I agree too. If they hadn't outed themselves we would have been spending our time talking about the monumentally unfair advantage that BB had given them. As it is, one pair will be gone this week.

all she saw was the fact she couldnt make a relationship in this game with Ryan.


although this was alluded to in a TV Diary Room blurb, I think it was just the lines they told her to say.

The TRUTH is, Jen made ali's life hell from the moment they were in the house. Jen was just as jealous as Ryan was. I think Jen told because she selfishly wanted her cake and eat it to.

What we havent seen either,was how parker was the first few days. He really seems like the kind of guy that once he's made up his mind, thats it.

Jen probably DID have to tell him. Especially if deep down in her mind she truly believes the bad things she's told people about ryan....bad anger problems, doesnt like her around 'black' people.

I can see Jen sweating bullets that Ryan would Pop Parker one, if confronted.

so she broke.

But that was a mistake, a game blunder....choosing to fabricate a story about being a couple...that is a STUPIDER move IMHO

Jen's mistake has some mitigating factors. Ali/Sheila....I cant think of ONE.

Jen and Ryan telling also made it very easy for them to wander off and have sex with no questions asked.

You know, Chere, I hadn't thought about the fact that Jen telling Parker about Ryan had little to do with the game, and much to do with her being jealous of Allison. That makes sense, although it was still a stupid move. Telling Parker wasn't the worst of it. But trying to one-up Allison and tell everyone else in the house first...now THAT was stupid.

As someone else mentioned, what could have been a very strong alliance of four was destroyed when they did this.

I haven't read the entire thread so this could have been mentioned before... IMO the stupidiest moves in BB history are (in no particular order)

Marcellas not using the veto
Dustin volunteering to go on the block
Kaysar trusting Jen and taking his finger off the button

So far this season - Jen and Ryan telling they are a couple and Sheila and Allison's fake lesbian alliance. I have no clue why they think this is a good idea, right after one couple was evicted and the other couple (and their partners) were nominated. An even dumber move was telling people and giving them ammo to use against them down the line... Does Adam know about this btw?

I don't think Adam knows.
Sheila/Alli's lesbian alliance is probably the most unnecessary plan ever hatched.

Adam is going to be pissed when this blows up, I still have no idea what their reasoning is behind starting this in the first place, dumb!

The most unnecessary alliance - exactly Panda! Then they tell two couples who could def use it against them down the line, so stupid!

Unless.......they think that it will ensure that they will be brought to the end by the others thus ensuring a CHance at the finals.

however, since they are on two separate teams, that plan makes no sense LOL
