Dear Big Brother houseguests,
Tell us this: When will you learn? Have you watched this show or any others before blasting your mediocre strategy and social play on television and laptop screens across the country?

There are character archetypes in reality television. But what the houseguests don’t seem to realize is that there are archetypal trajectories too. Certain player patterns are mainstays over the years. Let’s stop red-light-style in honor of the HOH Competition and consider a few examples:
(1) Dominant alpha players have a tendency to get arrogant and complacent just before the rug gets pulled out from under them (Cody 1.0). (2) Players who mock others about being on the bottom end up eating their words (Josh to Jessica and Cody). (3) Overtly coupling up is a one-way ticket to disaster (Cody + Jessica = Jody 1.0 and Jody 2.0).

Shut the flippin' front door! ~~ Do you think you were born awesome, or just grew up badass? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
