To a lesser degree Charlie. God I can't wait for him to outlast 200% Safe Sree. I almost wish they told them the percentage too. "With 99.9% of the vote the 5th Housemate to be be evicted from the Big Brother house is... SREE!" The way Kris basically butted into his convo with Siavash and then stormed off was ridiculous. How Freddie hasn't spit on his tacos I'll never know. |

 I loved that fall he took. Really took a hit on the old noggin there.
Why Dogface let Sree answer the phone each time is beyond me. You KNEW he was never going to get that 3am order. It was hi-larity. I loved that he was basically just making up the orders because he ahd no clue. Can't wait for BB to single out every fail in the task. I wish Freddie (or ideally someone else) would point out that he doesn't join in the group as much becuase the group a) keeps nominating him and more importantly b) treats him like shit and jumps on him for anything he says/does. While beating Sree will surely be fun the real mind fuck for them would be him beating someone like Kris, Dogface, Karly, Charlie or even Rodrigo. Someone who's not 'controversial' as they seem to think that's the only reason he's staying. Hell really he needs to go up against Kris or Charlie and beat them for it to really hit them since they won't be able to use the 'well voters hate girls' argument. |

So, if the nominations of the clique stayed the same next week...
Charlie: Halfwit/Siavash Dogface: Halfwit/Marcus Halfwit: Lisa/Kris Karly: Halfwit/Marcus Kris: Halfwit/Siavash Lisa: Halfwit/Marcus Marcus: Lisa/Kris (assumably) Noirin: Halfwit/? Rodrigo: Halfwit/? (Probably Charlie given Rodrigo's reaction to his pathetic food fight) Siavash: Kris & Lisa (Assuming he's been listening intently to Halfwit) Halfwit: 7 Marcus/Kris/Lisa: 3 Siavash/Unknown: 2 This entire game can flip on its head in a second. If Rodrigo is massively pissed off at Charlie, he could potentially give us a Charlie/Kris double or Charlie/Lisa, punting either of the latter names over the line. Also, if Noirin gets along with Siavash/Rodrigo, which she seems to, it's not impossible that she votes for Kris due to their not being much of a bond there, etc. This entire game can be turned around with just one vote from either Rodrigo or Noirin. As clueless as the clique are, I get the feeling that Charlie/Kris know full well of the Marcus resentment brewing with the girls and will simply adjust their votes, sending Wolverine home.

This entire game can honestly flip on its head in a second. But the actual episodes will be the same bilge of the majority vs. Freddie. The only thing that would possibly make it interesting is if he got so cocky he blew his chances of an incredibly easy win. |

I don't think Freddie will win. He may be there to final but someone who is less annoying and more quiet will win if they're with him. Charlie, or
Siavash.
Freddie needs to stay long enough to cut through the herd, at the very least. As soon as he goes, if they're all still around, they'll just find new scapegoats. They have it planned out for Freddie/Marcus/Siavash, then Rodrigo, then probably Noirin. |

I think BB9 took a while to warm up whereas BB10 has been more consistently entertaining than the last two and should have no problem topping either, despite
the atrocious faction controlling the nominations every week. This seems to be the same reaction for most of the people watching although Sucks oddly has a bit
more negativity towards BB10, perhaps because we're Survivor fans and this season is strategically frustrating. I am in agreement though that there
aren't as many big characters as usual and that this season will suffer once Sree, and eventually, Siavash leave. There's far more dead weight in there
than usual.
But yeah, if you liked BB9, you should definitely join in. I think everybody would agree that this one is at least in the same ballpark in terms of quality. |

I think Charlie and Rodrigo could very well win. Possibly Kris could go far too if he gets to the last week being the heartthrob this season. I can't see any of the females winning. |

Charlie, or Siavash. Charlie seems doomed to a Jason-like second-place finish, where the outnumbered Team Dumb supporters all vote for him, but are out of touch with the general voting public. Siavash is pretty pathetic, all things considered - you'd think someone in his position could have built up a huge fanbase, but he's just mildly liked instead. Unlike most seasons, there's only one person with a rabid fanbase - the general public doesn't care enough to have an input. The only way Freddie could lose is if he was going to throw his game away even more appallingly than Makosi did, but I think he's far too smart-and-boring for that. is it worth getting started on this years Read a good book instead. |

Charlie so far has been smart enough to not get openly involved in nasty moments (he passes his nastiness off as "jokes"), he's letting his group hang themselves in front of the public. He will also get votes based on his looks. Rodrigo is a moralistic scold but he's cute and has a nice butt and that will get some votes, particularly gay votes. I agree about the women. I thought Karly or Noirin might have a chance but they both made blunders, Karly's have been very bad and have been piling up. I think Noirin still has a slim chance. BB9 vs BB10, I think this season had potential to be better, and had the potential for some new dimensions (as there are so many ambisexual guys in the house), but that seems to be fading away with the domination of certain personalities. It's giving me bad flashbacks of Carole and Ziggy and Charley. |

As someone who has watched BB2, BB5-9, I'd say it's not worth it. It started off strong I thought. It seemed like it was going to be good at the
beginning but then everyone seemed to fade into the background. Every single eviction is going to be super predictable. Most of the HMs are boring sheep. The
producers are breaking up all heated arguments. There have been some funny moments but I doubt many people will be talking about them in a month's time.
Ratings are at an all-time low.

Halfwit got the exact nominations he wanted just to be able to show them he can survive the supposed pet of the group. It's just a start and hopefully his
tactic of drawing out the clique works. It's dangerous since he could possibly end up blowing his popularity away. But it's certainly interesting
seeing someone who has been up week after week, who has gotten used to it, use the situation to get people to come at him openly so they can get nominated next
to him and hence go. It's funny that Kris tells Lisa that he's trying to get them to come at him in this episode when the clip of the following day has
her going at him and then both of them suddenly turn around to plug their ears. I guess people of different maturity levels deal with the same situation
differently.
Siavash's barrel roll was just hilarious. I was dying. |

As much as this task is hugely derivative of other ones (last year's Japanese task esp) I'm loving Siavash's task. It's a great twist on
"Fashionista", is not impossible and constantly hilarious in new ways. I look forward to each new outfit. He's a good person for it too.
I too think Freddie is actually fine with being up this week since he's up against Sree and probably has a good idea of how he and Sree are coming across on TV especially since he's already survived 3 evictions. I can't wait to see how he plays it this week. Just let Sree destroy himself and let the others come at you full force. |

A Lying Down wrote: Rachel didn't have a big fanbase until later on last season. Freddie has some of the same element, as he's seen as persecuted, but unlike Rachel, Freddie is extremely annoying at times, and this means he may eventually have as much of an anti-vote as a pro-vote. If the more detestable people in the house are gone by the final, I think he could lose. If there are a lot of bland, passable people in the final with him, that would hurt their chances, but I think Siavash would have a pretty good chance if he gets there. He has a good sense of humor, he's not unattractive, he keeps a cool head. So far we know little about him because the highlights have been mostly about Freddie and Sree, but Sree is going on Friday. Was Jason polarizing? I thought Charlie would be, but he has receded into the background. |

I can see how Siavash and Rachel are both the 'UTR positive' figure, but Rachel was so incredibly different than everyone in the house that it was easy
to root for her; Siavash is really just Freddie-lite.
Was Jason polarizing? I thought Charlie would be, but he has receded into the background. He was liked for being a Jungle Cat and that was enough I don't see an anti-Freddie block being capable of getting that kind of traction unless every single one of Lisa/Kris/Karly/Sophie/Noirin have gone, which is unlikely - it's more likely Charlie and Rodrigo will split whatever anti-vote there is between them. |

This season is more in line with BB8, in that any interesting person gets put and is evited by the boring and loathesome clique. This season will only be better than BB8 if Freddie wins. And I really dont see him losing, he seems to be as much of a runaway winner candidate as Pete was. |

I think Freddie would be evicted if he were in a negative vote against several boring inoffensive people at the same time like Rodrigo, Siavash, and Marcus.
Even then a lot of people hate Marcus.
Halfwit got the exact nominations he wanted just to be able to show them he can survive the supposed pet of the group.I think you are giving him entirely too much credit. The only reason Sree was nominated was because the clique split votes between Marcus and Siavash and Noirin finally got sick of the little bitch. Freddie isn't endearing himself to anyone in there. Noirin and Rodrigo are the ones he needs to work on and even those two will probably still nominate him every single week regardless. |
