Probably should have looked into some of the happenings that weren't aired in episodes. Went with a medium share of Frenchie thinking a "do the opposite" strategy, he's cheap, he's a big fan of the show so he just got in over his head Week 1 and will settle the ship...Bad misread/gamble there. Not half of my bank or anything like that, but putting myself in a position to have to dig myself out of a little bit early on.

Ha yeah you might wanna sell whatever his value left is. Nice thing is each week you get an additional $20.

This isn't something you can get into mid game? Probably for the best as I have no clue how this works.

Don't hate the personalities on this season so far, but do hate that America knows how everything will play out before episodes even show. Maybe this seasons motto could be "expect the expected," because this has been a beyond boring season so far. I think it makes things easier for CBS/production, so I guess whatever works.

Agree, for the most part don't have major houseguests I super like or dislike. It's just like a bunch of just meh reactions.

There are no villains on this season. What I can't stand is how the votes have turned into basically unanimous decisions the last several years with no one wanting to vote differently on evictions. So dumb.

This season sucks so far. Frenchie, while making big dumb moves, was at least entertainment. The rest of the people are boring. I guess we found the reason why they type cast the last 20 seasons with the same types of people. They knew it would be entertaining.

So to your point the last week (and this week) are so damn straightforward but on the feeds it's been so fascinating watching them move chess pieces for future weeks. Most seasons people don't look ahead.

Fitzy with the early lead. Sorry State12 but Gunner outpaced you simply by doing nothing :)


As for this week, I sold all my Claire stock, then diversified between Kylan, Tiffany, and Derek X.

New trading opens later tonight!

Yeah I knew it wasn't going to settle well when I didn't realize the extent Frenchie rocking the boat and setting fires. Better risk early than late I suppose!

This has to be the most boring cast in years. Nobody is really playing a heal. All the people are not really bad people that you can root against. Everyone voting the same. The casting really failed this season.

Feel like it could be predictable for a few weeks unless there is a shake up.

I'm trying to find a way to log into this game. I started it using my google email, however they are wanting me to do a verification for a phone number I don't use anymore. Trying to figure it out on Google's end.

I'll let my picks ride for now!!!

It goes without saying that audience influenced twists are the dumbest thing on the planet. Not only is it unfair, it hamstrings the day and typically locks in the outcome.

The game is already beautifully set up so that there is a shift in power each week. I did like the teams structure to start the season as it did help avoid a power alliance to steamroll.

I was saying the same thing. They clearly can make some look better than others and thus the audience will vote for the ones they make look good, giving them an unfair advantage.
