Power Rankings Week One

Power Rankings

1.) Enzo ~ I think Enzo is playing a fantastic game. He is doing a really good job at making some strong connections... while not being suspected as being the Phantom. He is very likable in the Diary Room, and I think he is playing a very solid, safe game right now. I expect to see him go far.

2.) Erika ~ I think Erika is also playing a very, very good game. She just needs to be careful... because it's very possible that people will start to think she is the Phantom. She needs to be careful with Danielle, since Danielle is so sure she is the Phantom. However, I don't think Danielle has enough allies to actually take Erika down.

3.) Lisa ~ I also think Lisa is playing a pretty good game. I think she is making the right alliances while not really shining a spotlight onto herself. She seems to be quiet in the Diary Room, but I think she is doing pretty well as of right now.

4.) Amanda ~ I think Marvin and Jordan are doing a pretty good job right now... absolutely nobody has mentioned them to be the phantom... and I think they are playing well. I just fear that they are not making enough strong alliances to really survive the first few weeks. But if each HoH tries to target the phantom, I think they will survive... I'm just worried that anyone with a personality will be gone by week five :/

5.) James ~ I really am not a fan of James... but he did seem to make some friends this round. Not really any TIGHT alliances... but he did kind of secure himself a spot. I think he is doing pretty well. I think he will survive a few rounds, I'm just not sure how well he will actually do further down the road.

6.) Andrew ~ I think Andrew is making alot of alliances... and it can keep him safe. But it can also cause his downfall. I think there is a big chance people will start to think he is the Phantom... ESPECIALLY if he gets caught in the two alliances. I really hope he pulls though, but nonetheless... his situation is very, very dangerous.

7.) Danielle ~ Danielle is playing a pretty social game, but I don't really see any real relationships being formed... I'm not sure about her future in the game. I am on the fence with her. I had a hard time placing her... because her heart seems to be in the game, but I'm not so sure about her head. We'll see where she ends up after this week.

8.) Kevin ~ He won veto this week! But besides being an over the top character... I don't see any REAL strategy coming from his part. Right now, he is more being a character than being a strategic player. And that could actually work to his advantage later down the road, it's really hard to say. But I really don't see much strategic play from his right now... but I also could see him pulling through as a big player down the road.

9.) Karen ~ I think Karen is a very sociable game... but many people think she is now the phantom since she was very consistent in her opinion of Dick being the phantom. She really didn't even need to be SO convincing of that, since she wasn't even on the block. I think she may be playing too strong, too early. Even more than Andrew... because it doesn't seem like she's making any strong connections to support her if she does get tripped up. I wouldn't be surprised to see her nominated next week, due to the fact that people think she is the Phantom.

10.) Boogie ~ He doesn't seem inactive... but he really isn't leaving a mark on the game as of right now. People are suspecting him to be the Phantom, and I think will be very easy for him to be evicted next week for the same reason Dick was evicted this week. He needs to be careful and needs to start playing a stronger game.

11.) Dick ~ Oh Dick, he was screwed by the twist. If the twist wasn't in effect, then I think he would have went further. It sucks... but it's just the game. I think he should be brought back in future seasons... since he did seem to have a good head of his shoulders.

12.) Kaysar ~ He has posted some confessionals... but like, other than that... he has seemed absolutely nonexistent in the game. He can play an under the radar game, and go far... but I don't see him winning. He just doesn't seem to make the right connections. And he wouldn't be someone that I would ever vote to win an ORG. Maybe he could surprise me... but I just don't see him winning this game.

13.) April ~ Her only confessional was that she is becoming best friends with Danielle.... what does that do? Danielle isn't even that much of a power player for her to just latch onto and ride to the end. She really has put all her eggs in one basket.... a very weak basket. I don't see her going far.

14.) Carol ~ Not only is she inactive in her Diary Room, but she seems to be invisible to everyone else as well. If the twist wasn't in effect... she would've been evicted this week or next week. She just isn't active... and I really wish she would go home. She is a waste of space.

Nice one Sister Jun! My turn?


14th - Dick - It really is unfortunate that he is the first one out. Its kind of easy to pin a twist on someone who exemplifies villainous characteristics and is overly social. I wanted him to do well, but he did what he could with almost the entire cast against him. I feel like he wouldn't have left if there were no phantasm twist.


13th - Carol - I am only gonna give her one strike for the week because she was away. However the most important week of the game is the first one. It sets the groundwork for how people perceive you and who you can potentially work with. Shes left a bad taste in a lot of the players mouths. She needs to redeem herself coming into week 2.


12th - Kaysar - He seems so out of place. He came out strong in week 1 in Season 3 and 5. Right now he is just kind of there. He has no BFFs, and no one really gives him the time of day it seems. I wonder whats up with him this game .


11th - Mike - I don't see him doing well in the game. He isn't really talked about, but he isn't really under the radar either. Danielle hates him, and has been smiting him every chance she's got. I feel like he doesn't have much influence on the game, and is no ones first choice in a partner. Thus he is expendible as it stands.


10th - Jamez - What a way to cock up a week, especially the first week. I wouldn't have targetted the Phantasm week 1. Why? When you are as big of a villain as Jamez can be, you want as much cover as possible. He should have realistically nominated Erika and Carol, and sent one of them home.


9th - April - Shes just kinda sitting around. Difference is people are actually starting to like her. I think she has to get invested into the game a little more, maybe then I will like her .


8th - Enzo - This is where Jun and I differ. He is a good guy, but how far does being nice get you? No one has ever won this series by playing nice. There are a lot of great players this season, and I dont see him being up to their caliber honestly. Its a bit of a bold statement for the first week, but I have seen someone make or break their game on day 1, and there are people who will do that in here.


7th - Karen - I agree with Jun, extremely social. She is a great, a different kind of character to have around too. She exceeded my first weeks expectations by a fair amount. Shes good to chat with on AIM.


6th - Lisa - I think she is probably the most liked person in the game right now. Likability is power in big brother. It wins votes, it persuades people to keep you. She just needs the strategy now to keep up with her popularity.


5th - Erika - For someone who was nominated this week, she sure found a niche or herself. Shes used it as a bonding experience, and its starting to reaffirm my thoughts that she is an alias. No one plays this week right out of the gate.


4th - Kevin - Won the veto, and now has access to the second part of the secrets in this season. I think Rob is a fantastic player when he sets his mind too it. He has proven it now. He is fully capable of crushing this game, and I won't be surprised if he does.


3rd - Andrew - Joel has made a strong opening again. Yes, he is potentially overplaying. But he proved how manipulative he can play in season 3. He is very good with his words, and has played one of the best games in Brawl for a male contestant. I can see him, not only winning but representing the series very well as a winner.


2nd - Amanda - I think they played this week off perfectly. They did exactly the opposite of what I expected them to do. Anyone who knows these two know they can cause a shit ton of damage when they need to, so playing a little lower key this week made sure their names as the phantasm didn't emerge.


1st - Danielle - I love Buddy as a person. He is a huge character, and a fantastic player. You either love him or hate him, and he is the perfect representation for Danielle Reyes in this series, and he showed that this week. He may become too polarizing and force a divide in the house, but he is smart and is the most memorable person for me after week 1.
