JokersUpdates.com: BB Discussion - IMHO, Devens, Dee, Drew, and Barrett would make the ideal final four alliance. Together they have influence over all sides of the house, not to mention the intel.

I know everyone is calling Angela an icon, but hear me out. Angela is a wild card. She plays more emotionally than logically. She isn’t always able to keep a secret a secret. But, she is very good at apologizing.
Mallory and Melody are a duo. I mean, in the Adam and Eve comp, Mallory chose Melody as her partner. This was more “who do I like” more than “who can I control or influence.” That’s not gameplay, that is comfort leveling. They share and talk about everything. It’s not a showmance, but it is as close as you can get to one without labeling.
Taylor is playing for Taylor. This isn’t a bad thing, but it is a telling thing. Taylor loves having influence over others. She is like a trapdoor spider. She hides when she needs to hide, and then strikes when the timing is right and the trap is set. She is loyal to herself. Again, not a bad thing… she’s just opportunistic which may serve her well.
Latrice is easily influenced. Let’s be honest. She’s awesome and nice, but she listens and is persuaded by whomever is talking to her at the time. She was set on Kamu, but then listened to him. But, she was listening to Taylor prior. She was NOT going to put up Chuk until Kamu persuaded her to do it. After listening to Taylor she now questions the “icons.” She’s more a mom than a player.
Drew and Barrett have proven to be trustworthy. If Dee and Devens can’t see that, they are foolish. They have consistently reported everything going on to help them make it where they are now. Drew and Barrett have proven to be the most loyal to their game. They have a good chance of winning with them… but in the end, Drew would choose Barrett and Devens would choose Dee. It’s hard to say if these counterparts would be quite as loyal. I think it would depend upon the winners of more comps.
I think Chuk or Haley will go home this week. Chuk will cling to an alliance with Yash and Kamu. This trio would have a good chance in comps… IF they are physical comps. But we have already seen that Kamu goes with whomever is in power. Not that it is a bad thing. It’s his strategy, and in a game like this, loyalty seems to take you a tad further.
Again, in my opinion, Lala only won the wall comp because Kamu slipped trying to reassure her. It’s not that she didn’t deserve her win, but it was not because Kamu was weaker. It was luck. Kamu has mentioned this as well. Kamu is strong. But, if it comes down to winning comps, I can’t see Lala winning a lot. I mean, she’s cool, and I wish she would, but being totally honest, it isn’t happening. Same with Taylor. If the comp is mental, Taylor may survive, but it’s not a guarantee.
So, those are my thoughts on everything.
It’s not up to production or favoritism or politics. It’s a game of chance. Let’s see how things pan out.
