Anyone still watching?
Despite running through the motions already, I find myself very involved with the season as far as TV goes, although I have almost zero knowledge of feeds, except for Hamsterwatch. I have some I like, some I hate, and some I'm indifferent to. Basically, it's Big Brother.
Rankings (Based on Episodes Up to Thursday's Eviction):
12. Zakiyah - I have nothing on her and I only barely remember she's there every episode. Some float in a likeable way, but she seems to be there just for a summer vacation.
11. Corey - He's a tall, lumbering doofus who's the subject of a no-mance? with Nicole. That's all I got based on the show. Also not a fan of his old tweets using words like "fag".
10. Paulie - He's a better game player than his brother, and if he keeps good standing, he's a major threat to win it. But he's more arrogant than his bro (who I remember to be kind of likeable in a fairly goofy way) and his attitude could end up being his undoing eventually. Also, does this family own shirts or no?
9. Bridgette - I really want to like her, cause I think she has an adorably cute quality about her, but she hitched her wagon to Frank and that's a negative against her. Plus despite a big week for wins last week, she comes across more like a floater and cling-on that will be carried to the end. She needs to make bigger moves to be in contention for a victory.
8. Frank - Crazy how four years ago he seemed like a young punk, and now he looks like a weathered older man, albeit still a polarizing figure and now a bonafide creep. To me, it's never OK to touch someone else inappropriately without their consent, and that's just common sense. I don't care how many family members you fondle, it's not OK. That aside, it's hard to deny I don't love to hate him, but he's overstaying his welcome again.
7. Tiffany - I expected her to be a pleasure to watch, but she's been Vanessa 2.0 so far, without Vanessa's expert gameplay. I heard about some activity from her on Thursday though I haven't watched Sunday's episode as of yet. Still, I don't see my opinion drastically changing on her.
6. Michelle - Here's someone whose potential is big to be a snark master, like good ol Britney Haynes, but she's a disappointment so far. Still, I think there's a lot of potential here for a game player to emerge, once the dust of Frank vs. Da'Vonne settles.
5. James - James is lovable in every way, but I'm not sure I'm in love with his shtick this year. It's much of the same, although I love his relationship with Natalie. They make a cute couple that's fun to watch amidst the madness.
4. Natalie - Kind of interchangeable with James right now. They could make a power couple, although I'm not sure if they'll make it that far. Still, for some whose name I didn't know for two weeks, she's more on my radar and her lack of game so far is fine in the face of bigger game players who are a lot less likeable (Frank, Paulie).
3. Paul - Talk about a turnaround. There are no shortage of reasons why I hope Jozea or Victor don't come back, but I especially don't if it means Paul gets further in the game. He was one of my most hated the first two weeks, but with the loss of his buddies, he has become strangely endearing and I'm rooting for him as an underdog in the face of these warring veterans.
2. Da'Vonne - She's the reason to give veterans a second chance at the game. She is making the most of her return so far, although she's in a heap of trouble this week. Her ultimate undoing may be gaming too hard at the wrong time, although at least she's trying.
1. Nicole - I still love her. Same game as before just about, but I can't help but root for her. I'm probably alone.
