Marce and Lisa in new alliance against Dani and Jason?
Gouraphik | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 08:14 pm     Jason's a student of BB. He probably has the most knowledge of the game of any of this year's HG's. Based on last year's rules, he should have expected the current HOH rule to remain in effect until there are 4 people left in the house. If he forgot, that's not BB's fault. Now, the Golden Veto did trip him up a bit, since it makes it very difficult for him to get rid of Marcellas this week, but that's a different story. In any event, a hardcore player should make sure that they: 1) Know and understand the rules & structure of the game 2) Adapt to any changes in the game (whether politically or rule-wise) 3) Imagine the possible scenarios that could lead to their demise and prevent them at all costs...even if it means stabbing an ally in the back. Jason's got the skills, theoretically. Let's see if he can put them into practice when it counts. |
Jaxgirl | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 08:32 pm     When this week's evictee is gone, it leaves 4 people in the house and this is when I was thinking they should put the new HoH rule into effect. Admittedly, I really can't remember alot of the details of the final four from last year, but weren't there 4 hg's (Will, Nicole, Hardy and Monica?) in the house when the HoH comp became free for all? Or was Hardy already gone? Just curious, if anyone can remember. Thanks. |
Tobor7 | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 08:35 pm     You are right. Hardy then left and Will, Nic & Monica were the final 3. |
Meggieprice | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 08:38 pm     Jaxgirl -they were already told in yesterday's letter from BB that Jason acn't compete tomorrow but then everyone can, each time after that. |
Gouraphik | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 08:40 pm     Well...I guess I should've said "when there are 4 people in the house and the HOH has been chosen" or something like that. Anyway, Tobor7's account is correct, and Jason should know this as a student of the game. Please forgive me. My fingers get tangled up at times, and I forget exactly what I'm trying to say. |
Jimmer | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 08:45 pm     In BB2, Hardy could not compete in the HOH. He was relying on Nicole and she lost the endurance challenge on the bed (the fact that she wore a skirt and was upset by her husband’s comments via a banner, didn't help!). Sounds mean, but that was one of the best moments of BB2. |
Wendo | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 09:04 pm     Jaxgirl said, "<snip prior post> Quite a slap in the face to Jason for BB to tell them this now, and knowing it will be of no use to him this week." Of all the BB game players this year, Jason's the only one who has had the most extensive knowledge of BB. Last year, it wasn't until there were four players left where you could repeat HOH the next week. (Hardy won when there were five left and couldn't compete the next week.) He knew this and answered the first question correctly. Slap in the face? I disagree. If he didn't want it, he should've thrown the first question. Oops. |
Eden | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 09:04 pm     This is exactly what Danielle was hoping would happen. She's probably in the final two no matter what. She gets rid of Jason with clean hands. As for Jason, he's the one who played the game in such a way that no one wants to be next to him in the end. That's HIS problem. If he is such a student of BB he should have known his "good guy" image would eventually become a liability. Being voted out two feet from the finish line was the chance he took when he adopted that strategy. |
Gouraphik | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 09:11 pm     Well, one way to change his image is to execute his #1 ally, Danielle, in cold blood. No more Mr. Nice Guy (pun intended). I'm not asking for much. I just want to see each player make the best move possible. I admit it...I'm a perfectionist when it comes to strategy. So sue me. |
Jaxgirl | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 09:12 pm     Thanks everyone, for helping to jar my memory. I guess I was a week behind, but then Jimmer mentioned Hardy depending on Nicole in the bed comp (a very interesting BB2 moment I agree) and I remembered the HoH rule didn't change until he was gone. That being said, I was thinking BB just changed it this year and cut Jason out of getting to compete but under the circumstances, I do agree that Jason should have remembered about the final 4-3-2 rules and he should have planned a better strategy for himself (NOT himself+Dani) in any given situation. I really-really hate to see him go but I kinda think he's just TOO nice, TOO loyal and TOO trusting to be able to play this game all the way to the end. I'd love for him to prove me wrong, but I doubt it will happen.-JMO- |
Wendo | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 09:45 pm     Well, ya never know Jaxgirl. Heck, maybe Dani will surprise us and win HOH this week and keep Ja off the block. At this point, it's the only thing that could save him. (Well, unless Dani gets the boot next week instead of him.) Ya never know, right? |
Gouraphik | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 09:49 pm     Actually, that "No More Mr. Nice Guy" witticism of mine (I'm so humble...LOL) could be used as a way for Jason to survive the following week. If he guns down Danielle (the best move, if he can swing it), then he should play up the ruthlessness of the move, as well as his complicity in her actions (real or imagined). This would hopefully change his image from being the "unbeatable-because-he's-too-nice" HG to the "beatable-because-he's-two-faced" HG...or something like that. If he doesn't get rid of Danielle, it'll be tougher, since she'll likely prove to be mighty tempting to Lisa &/or Marcellas. He may have to start to act up & get dirty in order to change his image. Not so dirty that he ostracizes himself, but dirty enough to compare favorably (in their minds) to Lisa &/or Marcellas. I don't know if he'll do this, but if he does, I'll give him points for trying. |
Kittykatt | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 09:59 pm     IMO I think Jasn does want to keep his word and take Dani to the final two with him and he has no idea Dani wants him out! He should be playing for himself at this point and to do otherwise will be his downfall |
