Boberg, you brought up something I've always wondered about the game, both with watchers and the jury.
You mentioned that some players haven't stepped up their games and/or won things. Dee, Drew and Devins have said they've thrown comps. I assume its because they feel safe and don't want to make themselves a target. Isn't that a smart strategy and be taken into consideration? Drew said that Barrett has a target on him because he keeps on almost winning the comps. Sometimes I think that constantly being put on the block but being able to survive because of your social skills is a bigger argument for winning if you make it to the final 2.
And being considered a floater is a bad thing, but if you can successfully navigate it and make it to final 2, I think that says something, too. Of course I'm talking about someone like Kamu, if he could have kept it under wraps and not that woman that Derrick dragged to the end as a goat.
And I'm asking for anyone's opinion on it and not just Boberg.

Drew said last night in his hourlong chat with the camera that he has been throwing competitions and he is wondering whether now is the time to step up. He liked the house thinking he was some dumb kid who opened his mouth without thinking. He did say he did not throw the wall competition that he wanted to win that but he thinks he needs to step up now or he will be thought of as a floater.
Lisa Donohue was the ultimate floater and she ended up winning Big Brother. Jun was not a floater and was like Kamu except she didnt win competitions, she was a master manipulator. I think whatever part you play you have to be masterful. There is a skill to being a floater and surviving.

I'm a million miles from where I started out premiere week.
I seem to be rooting for Mallory and Barret now.
Haley, Melody, and Yash can leave now, please. I feel like Yash is missing a few critical brain cells.

Devens won an HOH and has then used his power to likely change the trajectory of the game.
I can agree social game is important but would I want to see someone like Drew or Barrett win the whole game without ever winning a competition, especially an HOH where they had to actually strategize and protect their game,and show their thoughts with having to nominate for eviction.
I don't think I would be happy with a player like Drew or Barrett or Melody winning unless at some point they had to show their cards and ability to strategize by nominating for the block or at least making a move that changed the trajectory of the game.
Although, all that being said, Dr. Will never won a competition in season 2 (if I remember correctly) and I definitely thought he deserved the win.
Lisa Donohue (IMHO) would have never won if the jury had not been allowed to see the DR's. That was a bitter jury lead by the one Danielle called "The Devil", lol can't remember his name.

I think it was Roddy Bo. Kamu is a little like Roddy. Manipulative. I think the winner should at least have one one HOH because that is the ultimate putting yourself out there and having to crawl back.

My list hasn’t changed much, but Taylor and Haley have fallen down the list and Melody and Drew may have risen some.
Devens - I like the way he came to play. As he said, sure he could play safer and just go along to get farther, but at least if he goes early, he’ll know he PLAYED.
Dee - still like her, but see some cracks that may make her fall down the list a bit.
Mallory - am ready for her to win an HOH and see what she would do.
Middle:
Angela -still okay with her
Taylor - sure has a lot of plans and opinions that she is more than happy to try to get other people to do for her. Win an HOH and do it yourself!
Barrett and Drew - likable, but win something and play! Riding the middle only works for so long with me. These two may be the best liars in the house because whomever they’re talking to I believe they are telling the truth!
Melody - improved for me. I think once Lyric left it helped her some.
Yash - don’t like or dislike, but needs to get off the Broh wagon.
Dislike:
Haley - no self awareness. She can go any time.
Kamu - hates liars but is one of the worst.
Lala - adds nothing and too persuadable to do others bidding.

This isn’t exactly who I like/dislike, but who I think deserves to win.
Devens/Dee/Yash: I think all of these have played and steered the game the most.
Drew/Lala: less so, but an argument could be made
Angela: I’m putting her ever so slightly above the rest just because her winning the BB allowed them to vote out Kamu
Barrett/Taylor/Melody: haven’t really added much other than votes

Bummed about Mallory. She was my fave. I kinda like Barrett, and Devens, and Dee. I couldn't watch Angela's season, she was so horrible, but I kinda like her now, with the other Icons keeping a lid on her.

Mame I also was very bummed about Mallory. She was also my fave. I really like Barrett, or at least what I see from him recently. He seems locked in to vote Devens out and I hope he does. I thought he had sunk to the bottom and if he would start making some moves, who knows?

At this point, I am pulling for Barrett. Drew has crossed to0 far to the dark side. I do not like this icon thing.
Least favorite is DEE. I would have a party if she leaves.

The latest interviews of Mallory from her home show a really nice side of her. I am inclined to vote Mallory for America's Favorite Player.

Favorites in order:
Dee: she came to play and has masterminded this game so far
Deven: he appears to be a genuinely nice and kind person who is a chaos creator and fun to watch play
Drew: also fun to watch, very young and exuberant in his play
Yash: this has an Asterick * If he would stop with the Broh, please stop, he is playing the game and dealing with the cards he is delt by being fluid. BUT STOP WITH THE BROH....I can't stand it!
Melody/Barret must step up their games. Really what have they done? Melody was good at Lady of the Latrine. Barrett is good at throwing comps.

Devins~my favorite and I don’t understand why he offered himself as the scapegoat for the POC Drew. He better win the blockbuster or he’s gone.
Mallory~my second favorite and hated to see her go thanks to the POC Drew.
Yash~ has a great chance to win this game.
Taylor~ I know feed watchers say she doesn’t do anything but she is still there with no ally’s other than LaLa and I like her.
Melody~ I like her but she needs to do something, like put Drew and Dee on the block together with Barrett as the replacement
Barrett~ I liked him in the beginning but all he has done all season is be a spy and snitch for Dee. And now that she caused his best friend to go home he wants to play the game. Too late snitch!
Lala~ not a big fan
Can leave anytime!!!

Game wise -- I don't have any real favorites but people I would not mind seeing win the game.
Barrett - optimistic about him stepping up to play the game, if he votes Devins out he will go up a notch. He needs to win HOH
Melody - I like her as well but she needs to step up and win HOH.
Yash - I like how he is playing the game, he has dodged a lot of arrows
Taylor - I think she has a shot if she can win comps. I would like to see her win a comp.
Devins - if he wins the blockbuster, that will help him. To me, I am not impressed. He walked into a ready made alliance, he was handed a huge advantage early in the game and just goes around playing nice Dad. Offering to go on the block was a really stupid thing to do and shows that he really isnt a good BB gamer.
Dee - She is playing hard and if she is in final two, I would root for her - even though I dont like her.
LaLa - I am not crazy about her. I don't like her nastiness when she goes on the block. She is too loud, I always have to turn down the feeds when she is on. Won't be sad to see her go.
Angela - one of my least favorite Big Brother players, I dislike her as much as I disliked Evil Dick.
Drew - too young to be on Big Brother - floundering and if he makes it to the final, it will only be because he tripped over it.
