The Official "Big Brother 11" Discussion Thread!

Ronnie's up in HOH promising Russell that he, Jessie and Natalie are his #1 priorities.

RONNIE: "Next week, if I win HOH, Jeff and Jordan are going up. If you want."

Hopefully, Russell sees how suspicious it is that Ronnie is suddenly so eager to pledge his allegiance to the jocks. Ronnie's telling Russell that he's willing to swear his loyalty to them on the Bible.

Russell is really good at reading people I have noticed from your recaps. I hope he trusts his intuition and realizes that Ronnie told Bradon.

OMG Ronnie is so annoying and ridiculous. It's always the superfans that get in the house and lose their damn minds.

 

[Bidude117]

I hope Russell doesn't listen to that idiot, Jessie!

 

[aijalon18]

These people are so ridiculous. I cant believe there's so much infighting btwn team members. Shouldnt all team members be planning/working together?

Jeff and Russell are at each others throats over absolutely nothing, Ronnie is sabotaging his entire team with his nonsense, and Lydia is whoring around the house in all these crazy outfits like a budget Lady Gaga. Have these clowns never been on a team?

It's still great to watch though. So I'm not complaining just observing.

 

[Bidude117]

OMG, I'm so loving Michele right now!! Best player thus far. Everyone else is just plain ridiculous!

 

[Kensei]

Seriously, I can't wait for the first indurance HoH this season. It's always so nerve racking and I feel that so many people are going to have to fight for the next few HoH's.

OMG, I'm so loving Michele right now!! Best player thus far. Everyone else is just plain ridiculous!

Michele I'm really enjoying as well. The one "l" in her name though is bothering me.. but I can look past that! Nerdy chicks are actually really cool and her and Casey are the two smartest players right now by just keeping shut. Laura too... where's that chick at?

 

[aijalon18]

If Jordan was smart, she'd get off her ass waiting to get teabagged by Jeff and save Braden. She could march right up to the temple of goons and let them know that Ronnie spilled the beans to her and cannot be trusted. She could persuade them to put Ronnie up instead to save her teammate.

 

[Kensei]

For a split second I thought this was Josh from season 9.

 

[Apollo]

I thought he looked like Dan from last season.^

 

[wrestling lover]

Chima better not leave early, I do not like KEVIN or RONNIE! Jesse sucks too

 

[aijalon18]

Once again, NO. If your team member is someone who can beat you later on, why would you wanna keep them around? Remember, the teams will dissolve at some point and this will be an individual game. And even now while it's not an individual game, it makes sense to have friends on the other teams for the week when another team is HOH.

As for Ronnie, it's too early for me to tell if he's playing way too hard way too early (like Danielle in BB7) or if he's doing the smart thing by creating tension and therefore setting up battles that will allow him to sit back while other people eliminate each other (like Will in BB2 or Allison & Jun in BB4). I guess we'll find out soon. If he doesn't become a major target by Week 2 or Week 3, then I'd say he's likely in for the long haul.

Was the capital "no" necessary smart guy? True we dont know when teams are gonna dissolve. But it would be dumb to want your teammate out first. Just for numbers sake. You have more chance of HOH safety while teams are still intact. For example, if Jordan doesnt save Braden, who she might need to have around longer so she doesnt spend the entire game at the goons mercy, she's screwed. Right now it is prudent for everyone to try to keep all their team members around I think you are very wrong Nik bickering of bullshit is the last thing people should be doing. Also, Ronnie deciding to throw Chima under the bus so quickly is idiotic. He needs someone to temper his insanity. Michele's laissez faire gameplay will only help her not the team.

ANd I didnt say they shouldnt be feeling out other teams. That makes perfect sense. But it should be 2nd at this point to keeping the clique together.

 

[Kensei]

I always had trouble remembering names but this season everyone seems to click.

I'm calling this now. Casey and Michele are the two top floaters. They will go far.

 

[aijalon18]

LOL. I knew that would get your goat!

U ass

I disagree. That's only true if your entire gameplay is from the Sovereign Rule Book written by BB6 Kaysar and Edited by BB6 Janelle (with a foreword by BB7 Janelle). Yeah if all you can hope for is to win HOH, then yes absolutely keep your team in tact! For Jessie for example, this might be the only play he's capable of. But it's not true for everyone and it's not a gameplay that has EVER been successful on this show. Ever. In the history of Big Brother. Ever.

A good player can rely on their social play to not be nominated even if they're not HOH (and in fact, they won't WANT to be HOH). Consider Cerebellum Chick. She's playing a totally smart under the radar game right now. Do you think if Ronnie and Chima (is that really her name??) were eliminated next, that she would even be a target? Not likely. In fact their eliminations might even make her less of a target than she seems to be now because everyone will assume she has no allies due to her team's deccimation, and they will move on to splitting up the other groups (think about BB6 and how once you lost your partner you were given a pass to the front of the line, and no one targeted you until all the other teams were split up. That's partly how Janelle and Maggie got so far). And then she won't have two smart people (with Ronnie as a potential manipulator) later in the game to worry about. And I'm not even saying this is what she should or will do, I'm just using it as an example to refute your argument that keeping the teams together is inherently beneficial for everyone.

I see your point here actually. That's pretty much how Dan was able to win. He was the last member of his group and as an individual no longer a target.

I know you hate him but facts are facts, and the fact is, Will caused bickering in BB2 and the infighting was so fierce between certain personalities that he was allowed to skate to the finals, and he wasn't even a serious target the many weeks he was nominated! I'm not saying this always works -- you have to be crafty at it after all -- and it's too early to tell if Ronnie is doing it in a way that's going to blow up in his face or blow a path wide open for him to the finals. I'm just saying it's not as cut and dry as you're presenting it (i.e. instigating infighting = bad).

I actually liked Will. It was Boogie I didnt like.

 

[aijalon18]

^That dummy and her nonsensical lies. The funniest part of her fight with Jeff is when she said "I always tell the truth."

 

[tHaTeViLmOnKeY]

18. 24. What the hell difference does it make? What's wrong with her?

 

[quackkers]

GAH I missed so much action. RAWR...

GO JORDAN. Good effort, bold moves, too bad Lydia swapped sides so quickly. GO JORDAN. Jeff and Jordan should just ditch Lydia and be like whatever to her.

Still loving Michele and Kevin for staying low on the radar, as with Casey and Laura.

Someone please get rid of Ronnie. Goodness... I can't stand that man.

Someone want to remind me why Braden is a "threat" and therefore he is the backdoor target. To me, Braden is slow and stupid. They should backdoor someone who will be a larger threat in the future, perhaps Jordan (as much as I love her) or Michele because they are the strong players to me at this point.

 

[tHaTeViLmOnKeY]

Now on to more important things: can we officially make Lydia this year's April?

Natalie needs to quit it. NO ONE is buying that you're 18 honey! That's worse than Allison and Sheila's lesbian lie from BB9.

That depends. Has she actually slept with anyone yet? I mean there's Lydia and then there was April. I'm not sure I'm ready to go there yet.

As for Allison and Sheila, even though it clearly was poorly conceived, I'd be more willing to fall for them being lesbians than Natalie being 18. I mean Chima is like 32 and looks early 20's. If she tried that lie I'd believe her!

I think that was originally the point. He would be one of the few expendable people that wouldn't see it coming but he now apparently knows what the plan is. At this point I wouldn't mind them all planning to backdoor Ronnie.

 

[quackkers]

Ughh no more live feeds *cries my eyes out*

Braden, well I guess I can stand losing him. Won't miss much except for a random houseguest. Plus with Braden actually leaving it will amplify the drama currently in the house, and suddenly the power shifts towards the Brains/Outcasts for their votes???

Well I guess the high school cliches are back. All jocks have are muscles and are hot headed and don't think as much. Pretty much all of the jocks are stupid for causing such commotion, which in turn provides us with SUCH GOOD ENTERTAINMENT<3. The popular people drags themselves in whatever they can. Brains and Outcasts for actually being smart and laying low (Michele/Casey/Kevin)

Creating such big targets for themselves, and making enemies already before the end of week one. Jessie already has a target, he's spared but goodness he's stupid for actually TRUSTING Ronnie. Jeff/Russeul's feud is causing way more commotion then it should have caused. Natalie is plain UGH... but Jordan and Lydia are really dragging themselves down at this rate.

Now if the jocks really know how to play the game, they should take out Jordan because she's actually decent so far, and to weaken the Jeff/Jordan pairing. It doesn't seem like Jessie/Russeul/Natalie can get in agreement with Jordan so far, but then again I haven't been watching the feeds whatsoever, but it makes the most sense to get rid of a strong player and a friend of your enemy...

Did one of the jocks say that the silent ones are the dangerous ones? HENCE the smart floaters right now will be making it far while the two sides are busy slashing each other's throats.

I myself thought Kevin would be a quick target for calling out Natalie being only '18' but I guess not. All the merrier. Keep on laying low Michele, Casey and Laura. WHEEE <3

I can't wait to see what happens <3
