You make a lot of good points, Cruz. From the beginning I thought, good on them to protect each other. BUT, making a commitment on Day 1 with any group of people is always a mistake, and we see it playing out before our eyes.
Looking out for each other - good. Making a committed alliance on Day 1 - bad.
It just goes to show that people of any race are not the same, and should not be generalized. Sadly, the POC generalized themselves by making the cookout based solely on race.

I have barely seen DX and Tiffany on the feeds all day. I wonder what's up with that?
I have really had enough of Azah and DF, and Christian and Alyssa. It's been mostly them on here all freakin' day.

IMHO ~
I think there is an underlying element of solidarity that can legitimately exist between any group of people of shared experience, and those are deep bonds. That the bonding for the Cookout was based on race does not mean the POC in the BB House had flawed thinking in their plans, or that their bonding was somehow less meaningful than any other criteria one might have chosen to form a group (NOT the "A" word  ). They should be justifiably proud of their loyalty to one another and their success in navigating to this point and keeping all six safe to jury. Given the history of BB and the history of POC in general, it was admirable that they could support a "mission" to make a statement via the Cookout. That the group goals furthered their individual goals was factor, of course.
BUT I think the Cookout is also now experiencing the pressure of the BB House that reveals the normal cracks in human interaction. I expect they are naturally realizing, sometimes subconsciously, that there are bonds besides race, and also that their individual plans are in conflict with the group plans. Because it's not sounding like a platitude any more that ONLY ONE person can win... Add the human tendency to demonize the people we are upset with and...
I credit Tiffany most of the Cookout's success, and thus the "mission success" as well.

Great post, Kminfinity 
I really enjoy everyone's take on the social experiment.

I wonder if DF is planning on throwing another "hinkey" vote and blame it on Tiff. He seems to have been setting it up all day - Tiff is just made because she wanted to give a vote to Christian. If it doesn't turn out 7-2 we know it was her. That is why she is pushing to be sure Brit and Myself (DF) are voting out Christian.
In the meantime he continues to assure Christian and Allysa they 100% have have his vote while denying to other cookout he ever promised anything to them.

I wish Tiff and X could have played on another season as I feel they are both good enough that they might have been able to win. As it is with this season there will be a * next to their win.
Not denying there were racial tones in other seasons but feel players like Davonne, etc were not targeted due to them being POC. They were just bad game players.

I missed this:
Ky is saying the vote is probably gonna come out 6-3. He's planning a rogue vote to blame on Tiff so they can go after Claire instead of SB next week. WOW.
WOW is right.

Cruz, I never got the Davonne love. She played three times, but every time, she bought into people's lies, and spun herself up til she was all over the place. She was not a good player.
And, we have a lot of really good players this season, a lot of them are POC, because they cast more POC.

Tiffany looks stressed out. Sitting at the chessboard in the HOH, arranging pieces, waiting to talk to DX.

SB comes in, Tiff is not happy, LOL. She asks for a few minutes.
DX comes out of bathroom. They begin their discussion of Christian.

I feel like Tiffany is going to make a pitch to vote out SB. I don't like this.
Christian cannot stay in the house - it will kill DX's game.

Oh, ok. Tiff is talking about the kerfuffle with the former jokers about being honest about the vote to evict Christian.
Sounding like she is still voting out Christian, not going try to flip anything.

If Tiff tries to flip the vote, will she lost DX, Claire and Hannah and potentially the rest of the cookout except for X who wants to keep Christian.

This is mind boggling to me. SO WHAT she told Christian she would vote for him. Have any of them ever seen this game?

Tiffany is relaying her conversation with Britini, and the advice she gave her over feeling bad about promising Christian her vote.
Azah came into the room, and apparently misjudged the situation, because today she portrayed this as Tiffany bullying Britini.

Alyssa is making rounds attempting to gain (regain?) connections with people so as not to end up alone from now on... She talked with SB and really tried to downplay the "rest of the Kings were going to vote SB out and keep Britini" ... saying she never would say that...(I hope SB doesn't believe her..) ... She insisted that if she won the POV that she was going to use it on SB.. and that she (SB) should be concerned with anyone outside of her team (the Kings) telling her opposite...
Now Alyssa is talking with Kyland.. I'm not sure Alyssa is going to have anyone besides X .. and it is her fault for spending all these previous weeks cuddling (not being a couple...) with Christian... She has no one to blame but herself...
That being said.. she could if she really thought about it.. use that to her advantage... "I am an island .. I am all alone...use me as a number..." Until a week or so passes and people forget...

I think this is not so much about Britini and her guilt or whatever, and more about the huge crack opening up in the Cookout.

So if Tiff changes her vote and DF throws a rogue vote to blame on Tiff and Ky throws a rogue vote to blame on Tiff .. Christian is staying.... without actually being responsible for saving himself....

Need, they need to stop with these so-called 'rogue votes'
If you tell people about it, it's not 'rogue' anymore. It's 'conspiracy'.
