Who can win this game?
Minnyace01 | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 06:34 am     Since we have some down time this morning and are 2 weeks into the game, who are the players that have emerged that can win this game? Here’s my take on it – No Chance to Win Josh – enough said; probably out this week. Tonya – if not this week, it will be over soon. Gerry – whenever they all decide, it’s over. Chiara – as much as I like her, when Roddy goes, she’s done (though he could carry her to the final 2). Amy – she is starting to wear on everyone’s nerves; will be around awhile though not long. Long Shots to Win Eric – just don’t think he has the smarts to do it; could go to final 2 with Lisa or Roddy. Jason – will be around awhile, just don’t see him winning it or going to the final 2. Lisa – she may be sharp, but anyone who gets advice on men from Chiara, isn’t that sharp. Major Players Marcellas – Roddy was right-he is a player. Needs to get Roddy out to win. Danielle – Flying under the radar; she is not viewed as being a threat, but is. Roddy – It’s Will all over again. He’s smooth and smart; he’ll get the money and the girl. |
Lauram | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 06:42 am     Minny: I totally agree with your assessment. The only wrinkle is that Roddy and Chiara may be seen as the power of 2 votes. (She will vote with him -- I'm not so sure that he would vote with her) So Roddy could be voted out simply so he doesn't control 2 votes. |
Minnyace01 | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 06:46 am     I agree with you Lauram. It is similar to last year with Will and Shannon. The only thing that he has going for him is that there is another couple in the house in E and L. |
Ketchuplover | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 07:29 am     Cassandra,Monica,& Danielle share 2 commonalities(NEW WORD?) 1. African American 2. Under the Radar. Coincidence? Biology? |
Marcieb | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 08:58 am     My first impulse is to think Roddy will win...he's personable, upbeat (in front of the crowd), smart, fun to be around and shares his cigars. But except for the cigars, Danielle is all of those things plus a woman! I think the ladies will want to see one of their own win this year so I'm leaning towards D. right now. |
Bmh | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 09:05 am     I agree..lisa and chiara had a long talk a while back saying over and over how they want a women to win and thats why they wanted tonya in their alliance..but they aren't sharp enough and they all have big targets on their back because of their association to Josh So out of all the girls I think Danielle is aiming for the money and Roddy and Jason have the best chance for the guys |
Maris | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 09:07 am     I dont think Danielle will win, she played her cards too early yesterday with Marcellas. She isn't under the radar anymore. Marcellas is onto her and if she does use the veto to save Josh that alliance is over. Marcellas truly believes that Josh is a bad element in the house and more importantly, Marcellas believes that Josh used the blackface comment against him. If Danielle votes to keep someone like that in the house he will have no time for her. Marcellas also knows that Danielle is trying way too hard to get rid of Amy. I also dont think Marcellas will forget that Amy was the only one who stayed with him when he was on the block. Danielle wasnt sitting at the table with him every day, Amy was. I think Marcellas has a shot at going far as long as he can get rid of Josh. I think he will also keep Gerry around (like Kent did with Bunky). Gerry is Marcellas' Bunky. Ideally, Marcellas would like it to be Amy, himself and Gerry in the end because if they are the final three, he has it made in the shade. I think Roddy will win it but hope Marcellas wins it. Now THAT would be a Diana moment. |
Penpoint | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 09:09 am     Ketchuplover: Cassandra didn't really "play" because there was no game to play in the first year. In other words, no one knew about alliances and strategies. It was much more innocent. Monica's strategy was to be under the radar for the whole game. Danielle, on the other hand, is a real strategist and is playing this game real hard. As each day goes by, she is becoming more and more out there as a player. If she doesn't trip herself up, she could be the winner. |
Squidvicious | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 09:19 am     The big difference between Monica and Danielle is that Monica made a point not to draw any attention to herself. Danielle most certainly is not doing that by jumping from side to side so blatantly. Monica was a wild card from day one and I think it was what got her so far in the game. Danielle's actions are not going to get her far as the HGs see what she is doing. |
Puttergirl | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 09:20 am     I agree with the original assessment, except I think Amy could hang in there longer than others think. Her voice may be annoying, but she is a stand up sort of girl and that may help her in the long run. |
Sonia | Saturday, July 20, 2002 - 09:21 am     Penpoint, I agree with your comment about BB1 group. "There was no game to play in the first year. In other words, no one knew about alliances and strategies. It was much more innocent." True! BB1 cast decided together at the second week to never again talk about nominations. Majority of BB1 cast almost always avoid conflits and most of them were definitly not competitive as many BB2 and BB3 members are. Other point: at the fist year, the decision for eviction was a public vote. So, it influenced the BB1 to stay more quiet and no-controversial, to avoid to be evicted by the public, because they knew that the 2 controversial persons of the BB1 group, Mega and Jordan, were immediatly evicted. |
Ketchuplover | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 02:46 pm     My money is on Lori |
Cinder | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 02:52 pm     Survivor had begun before BB1 but had not ended by the time they entered the house. I remember when Curtis went to the Emmys I think Rudy tried to tell him he needed to form an alliance. |
Lurknomore | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 03:37 pm     Minnie, as things stand now I find I almost totally agree with your assessment. I the only change I might make is to move Jason up on the list. I think most of the HG view him as safe. Add that to the fact he is the only player who seems to really have watched and know reality tv (though I think our Miss Dani might be pretty educated too) and I think he may have a shot at this. From a few things he's said I think he is a lot sharper and playing this a lot more than he has shown so far. If he can hang in there, have the others feel he is "safe" and then at end have been the one who pissed off the least amount of people he might have a shot at this. |
Creampuff | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 03:57 pm     Lurk.....I agree with you about Jason. He's playing his cards pretty close and seems to be attempting to be a non-threat. He has only thrown a few things out there and doesn't appear to feel compelled to draw attention to himself. I think it was just yesterday that he said something about 'his band' and (was it) Lori that said, "you have a band?" and after he acknowledged it,it was immediately dropped. Seems to me that comment about the band should have drawn a lot of conversation and it didn't which proves to me that they are not too concerned about him. Way to go Jason! |
Spunky | Sunday, July 21, 2002 - 10:28 pm     Unfortunately the power of veto may unexpectedly change the fate of nominated houseguests. However, I'm told there won't be any veto when they're down to just a few hgs. So, if veto won't screw things up too much, I expect Jason, Danielle and Roddy going to the last three. |
