Since it's a new season, I'm probably gonna revamp the blog a little bit. Episodic recaps are out, instead, here's the first of a weekly rundown of each houseguest, based on their position in the game:
1. Ramsey - This guy immediately struck me as likeable. He's also athletic and should be able to stay under-the-radar long enough to make that final push. Ending up in the middle of the pack in the challenge is exactly where he needs to be....keeps the attention off him.
2. Jared - Jared played the HoH comp perfectly...made a deal for his safety, and avoided being the one to have to make a decision. He looks good at comps, but isn't relying solely on them...and he seems to have a showmance incoming.
3. Dallas - Dallas seems to be very well-liked by the rest of the houseguests from what we saw. He clearly has a big presence and was leading that roundtable. Could that lead to him being a control freak? I hope not. He was also out of the challenge surprisingly early.
4. Loveita - The first HoH! Well, she proved she can perform in comps, which should be enough to get her into the initial majority alliance. However, it depends how she plays it from here...the wrong nominations could make enemies.
5. Mitch - He's a hot favorite to do well, and for good reason. I'm not fully on board though, as he might have an irritating smugness to him. And how can he possibly claim his YouTube videos are watched in every country in the world? I somehow doubt people in North Korea are watching Mitch.
6. Sharry - Bad luck getting knocked off the pedestal. I have a good feeling about her though, so I'll put her high. The first lesbian on the show, her story should resonate with people. It did with me.
7. Joel - Defied expectations by not being the first out of the challenge and the twist allowed him to secure his safety with little fanfare. But the fact people think he sucks at comps is not the best first impression. He's not going home this week, but how long can he avoid the block if nobody takes him seriously?
8. Paige - Paige is very under-the-radar but I'm a little higher on her chances than Kelsey's, who I'm getting her confused with. The lack of a showmance should help reduce her target and she probably has more personality too.
9. Kelsey - All we know about Kelsey is that Maddy doesn't like her and that she's probably going to hook up with Jared. If history repeats, she'll float to the final 5 but then fall short.
10. Maddy - Hater! But really, I actually found Maddy's feistiness pretty fun - of course, her cute butt helps. Whether it's a hit with the other houseguests remains to be seen, but I don't see her being a week 1 target.
11. Christine - She seemed to be well-received when she told everybody her age, but people who drop out first can often be an easy nomination. Parents have a tendency to be outcasts, and she might end up being seen as a lame duck.
12. Raul - He seems a little irritating, and doesn't seem to have much strategy. I think he'll rub people up the wrong way and go early.
13. Cassandra - She got some serious shade from BB when they cut to her after Dallas talked about people "who think their shit don't stink". Clearly she's one of the bigger personalities in the cast, but is she gonna win? No.
14. Philippe/Nick - Man, the night just got worse and worse for the brothers. First they get forced into this twist that puts a huge target on their backs from the start. Then they get made to look like liars by Arisa. Then Nick fails to win the challenge, gets sent to solitary and even knocks Sharry over on the way down. They just scream "easy first boot" right now. Their only hope may be to win the veto.
