Cricket "The good guys"? I'm sorry i don't see Jack and Erika as the good guys, and ali and nate clearly don't fit as "good" guys.

I've always wondered about that too Kale. Several times I've heard Jack/Erica/Nate/Ali referred to as the "good guys" and I've always wondered why. What have they done that's so good? Besides maybe get in the house first.

I don't think Ali is jumping ship anywhere. Her ship has always been about herself. She makes deals, side steps, tries to stay in position and remain in the game. She may have an overt soft alliance with Jack, Erika, and Nate. But, I've always felt that she only views it as an alliance of convenience. One to fall back on if needed.

No jumping ship because, she's never been fully on anyones ship...but her own.

I agree Wendo and that's exactly what you should do in this game. I don't care for Ali (some kind of prejudice towards blonde beauty queens who think they're all that and a bag of chips) but I will give her props. I think she's playing a good albeit somewhat dangerous game. I don't think she's anybody's target right now. Well, maybe Jun.

I will say that Ali is very bright and thinks far ahead, but it might come back to haunt her.

She told Nate about her deal with the Stooges. Very smart of her. I'm confused about the deal though. Nate said something about he's glad she will be safe next week. She can't be HOH, so what's in it for the Stooges? Does anyone know how long the deal was for? Was it the entire game?

I refer to the other 4 as the good guys, as I can't call them the "darkside" like some of the players do. Just a differentiation of the 2 sides of the house. They're my good guys, cause I'm rooting for them, at least most of them, lol.

If anyone deserves the win in this game, it is ALi. I dont care for her as a personality but she has been playing it harder than anybody in that house. She is juggling so many balls and if she can carry it through to the final three, then kudos to her. If she can convince her alliance to put up Justin and Jun and boot out Jun, then I give her credit. I have said from day one, she approached this game like a beauty pageant and is moving ahead, stepping on everyone as she goes while maintaining a smile on her face and keeping the men charmed.

She also doesnt let the men see that she is thinking too hard because then they would boot her out of there. Jun is their biggest threat because they see her as thinking and strategizing. Look at Jack, how many times in the last week has he said Ali is just too emotional, she is playing with her emotions. That will be his downfall because he only sees women as being emotional, therefore they must go. He cant grasp that Ali might be calculating each of her moves.

Maris I think I'm inclined to believe a good deal of what you're saying. It was interesting in the HoH room with Julie talking to her tonight I definitely sensed the gears in her head clicking and clacking.

I don't think she deserves to win and I don't think she will. Too calculating and as we've seen you have to be lucky(liked by the BBangels)to win.

I should have said that luck plays a big role in winning.

I think you are right Maris, painful as it is for me to admit. Ali is playing way too hard.

She is only playing to hard if it blows up in her face.

Last year no one played harder than Dani or Jason, and they made it to the final 3. I have no understanding of how you can be playing the game "too hard" if you don't seem to be playing that hard to the other HG's. I mean she is coming off as a woman playing with her heart and not her mind to everyone. Yet in DR's, and in the HoH tonight it was clear she is thinking logically, and not with emotion.

SHe has a decent game going, but the hardest thing for her will be to wiggle into the stooges in some way. If she can get Justin to side with her in a final four type of thing then she might be in there.

Maris and Amari I agree with both of you and telling my DH the same thing tonight! She is a great player that is very calculating - been thinking this all along - Not sure I want her to win but if she did - so far she deserves it (i felt the same about dani last year, thus disappointed when lisa won) I want the "player" to win not the slider!

I cant stand the girl, but so far I am giving her the applause on this one. I am waiting to see what she does with Justin this week. I agree, I dont want a "Lisa" to win this year and I think those below the radar are going to be flying real low out of the house. Every year, it is a different strategy that wins the game. Will won with diary rooms, Dani Lost with diary rooms and Lisa won with flying under the radar and if Ali wins this, she is using the strategy closest to Dani.

Now Jack is saying that Justin will probably put up Erika.

To this point in the game Ali has played the best. She did what it took to recover from the brink of eviction and then eliminate her biggest threat at the time. At the same time she positioned herself to have multiple options, several of which are still available after this week.

What might get her through to the end ahead of part of the Jee3 is that she thinks several moves ahead all the time. Does the Jee3 have any viable backup plan? Ali already has planted some seeds tonight with Jun for a possible alliance between the two of them and Erika once Nate and Jack are gone.
