Derrick is playing an amazing game so far in my opinion. He gets juicy info from Nicole about backdooring Frankie, but he keeps a cool head about him and realizes it will come full circle if he goes running to tell him. Most people don't do that. He also lets Frankie get the "everyone loves me" label so now people see that as a target. He is ALSO on America's team which helped keep him safe from Donny.
Agreed. No one is coming after him right now in the house. Plus his alliance members are putting bigger targets on their backs. People like Nicole are starting to pick up on Frankie's excellent social game. Christine is starting to stumble a bit as the mole in the alliance. Zach is a loose cannon who could be evicted this week if Derrick decides that he's too big of a threat to keep around. Cody is Derrick's ***** who will do whatever Derrick says and will get evicted before Derrick. As for the non-Detonators: Donny is in Team America so he's not going to come after Derrick. Caleb has zero power in the house no matter how deluded Beastmode Cowboy is so he'll probably follow what Derrick does and not target him. Nicole and Hayden want to go after Zach and Frankie, and they will likely hold off on targeting Derrick until later. Victoria and Jocasta are just pawns in the guy's games until the BotB twist is over. One of them could be Derrick's goat for the final 2 to take and crush in a jury vote. So Derrick is in an excellent position right now and is clearly in the driver seat of this game.
