With America and Blue on the block and each satisfied the opposite is the goal on Massive Brother, the Energy of Veto is the actual determiner — plus, an epic betrayal primarily based on false data may change every part.
With solely seven Houseguests left on Massive Brother, you’d assume there could be much less drama, however that is positively not proving the case. With back-to-back Head of Family reins, Jag is poised to complete taking out Comerica — or is he?
The Energy of Veto is the actual decider at this stage of the sport. As seen final week, it could possibly change every part in a heartbeat. After Blue received certainly one of two POVs, Jag needed to rethink his complete week’s technique, which was to focus on her.
As he held the opposite Veto, he instantly had a possibility to backdoor a complete showmance directly by placing Cory and America on the Block. That blindside labored superbly final week. May such a possibility come up once more this week?
Every episode, we’ll break down the evening’s motion, the competitions, the alliances, the backstabbing and the lies. Then we’ll grade every contestant to see how they’re doing within the recreation thus far and the way far we predict they are going to go.

Now, Jag and Matt are the one official duo left within the Home. America is alone, Blue is alone, Bowie stays largely clueless, and Cirie and Felicia are like these two neighbors who’ve tolerated one another for many years and begrudgingly would name each other mates, however not daily.
With Jag in energy, Matt’s place is safe, which leaves Jag with a possibility to proceed the work that is positioned him as somebody who’d simply received 4 competitions in a row. All season lengthy, these Houseguests have been taking out robust rivals.
As soon as Jag and Matt solidified their Minutemen alliance, they went in exhausting on that work, taking out any menace to their very own competitors prowess. Properly, that has was Jag’s competitors prowess. Taking out Cameron was the final main hurdle to whole dominance.
Cory was extra of a strategic menace and s–t-disturber in the home. Actually, regardless of the actual fact she’s not accomplished a lot in any respect on this recreation, Blue stays one of many largest competitors threats left. Sure, she’s just one one competitors (and that was principally a guess final week), she has come near successful again and again.
Jag set a report for hanging on over the past Veto competitors and he solely set that report as a result of that is the time Blue fell. So she additionally held on longer than anybody else in BB historical past. She’s a official menace to win competitions.
She’s additionally extremely, amazingly, blindly loyal to Jag who has solely been loyal to Matt this complete recreation. Sure, they’d an early friendship, however there isn’t a secret that he and Matt are an influence duo. Jag’s dominance these previous few weeks are in all probability the one motive they’re nonetheless intact.
Their path to the finals is wanting fairly safe as Jag retains proving again and again that he is good at psychological and bodily comps — and persistently beats out the weaker rivals they’ve left within the recreation to compete in opposition to.

Who Gained Veto
This week’s Veto competitors was the traditional BB comp with foolish images of previous Houseguests that need to be positioned in sequential order. It is the small particulars that change from pic to pic that decide what that order is.
Hilariously, just one particular person in the home wouldn’t play on this week’s Veto competitors … and it was Cirie … once more! Her chip has by no means been drawn to play for Veto this complete season. Blue even caught her hand in to seize the final chip to confirm Cirie even had one. That needs to be a report, proper?
Talking of data, this one got here all the way down to lower than two minutes. As has occurred all season, we solely obtained the scores for the highest 3 times. Mama Felicia was positively not certainly one of them, together with her fumbling round to comical music lengthy sufficient she needed to have timed out.
Bowie Jane got here in third. She’s one other who’s confirmed competent at competitions, however by no means fairly sufficient to surpass Jag. She did, nonetheless, cross Matt, who even acknowledged this week that he is not been pulling his weight within the Minutemen.
Truthfully, his greatest shot at successful now could be taking Jag out. Sure, it could be an epic betrayal, however Jag has been carrying him all season lengthy strategically and competition-wise, so in the event that they sit Closing 2 collectively, Matt would be capable to thank Jag for carrying him to second place.
Talking of second, Blue as soon as once more proved why she is a official menace, coming in simply behind — Jag. That is proper, Jag scored his fifth win in a row (due to the Invisible HOH permitting him to play in back-to-back HOH comps) and third Veto in a row. He now has seven wins in a single season, placing him in rarefied firm and solely two off the all-time report holder, Janelle Pierzina.

The place We Are
Let’s pause for a second and take inventory of the home and the relationships inside it. Matt and jag are the plain place to start out, as they continue to be tight and dedicated to going to the tip with the opposite. It is past that twosome that issues get murky — and obtained even murkier this week.
Matt has numerous belief in Cirie. We obtained a vignette of the tightness of their bond in the home, and it is actually candy to see. The issue is that Jag has by no means been fairly as positive he may belief Cirie. Nonetheless, he did this week, over Mama Fe.
Felicia has a status for blathering secrets and techniques round the home and Cirie doesn’t. So Jag didn’t inform Felicia that Blue was his actual goal, however he clued in Cirie. That is the place a recreation of phone can get you into bother.
Honoring the belief she has with Jag, Cirie didn’t inform Blue that she was the goal. However, as Blue is somebody she feels shut with, she did strongly trace at it to Blue — who remained impressively oblivious and uncertain that Jag would ever goal her!
Cirie’s deadly mistake got here when she forgot about he Fe has accomplished her soiled a couple of instances already this season, and the way Fe likes to blabber. She hinted additionally to Felicia that she anxious Blue is perhaps the goal and advised Blue as a lot.
Now, nowhere on this did Cirie say that she knew Blue was the goal, however when the story made it is approach again to Jag by means of Felicia unceremoniously throwing Cirie underneath the bus, the model now made it sound like Cirie simply advised Blue she was the goal. Interval and finish of debate.
That left Jag satisfied that Cirie had betrayed his belief. It isn’t totally true, although Cirie did attempt her greatest to clue in who she thought was her allies to the reality. If she could not make a change to Blue’s destiny, possibly it could have been higher to not say something, however she hoped Blue may win Veto and save herself once more.

Poor Blue has no clue that her destiny is probably going sealed. Jag thought-about utilizing the Energy of Veto to maybe backdoor Cirie, however that was in all probability just for faux BB drama. He is too sensible to concentrate on somebody he is assured he can beat to somebody who’s been scorching on his heels the previous two competitions.
America’s place in the home is an attention-grabbing one — however provided that she will really win one thing. She’s been as ineffective as Cirie, successful completely nothing all season lengthy. She made a take care of Jag, although, the place she stated she would not goal or backdoor him or Matt subsequent week.
Jag can also be assured that regardless of what Fe advised him, Cirie would not come after them, both. The reality is, that each ladies would come after Jag, specifically, in a heartbeat. He’d higher hope Matt or Bowie win HOH, in any other case he and Matt may each see the Block.
Jag may (and certain would) save himself with the Veto in that state of affairs, however it may value him his closest ally and go away him extra alone in the home. Wild issues can occur throughout a double-eviction.
This week’s appears poised to see a blindsided Blue evicted (until they clue her in beforehand). From there, it might be anybody as it can all come all the way down to who wins HOH and POV. We could not even say for positive who Matt and Jag would goal.
Regardless of their loyalty to Bowie, with Blue gone, she’s the following strongest competitor who stands the perfect probability of successful a contest. That makes her the one with the perfect probability of costing them the prospect to sit down collectively. It is perhaps time to activate her?
However that is provided that they’re actually going to run away with this season. The sensible transfer for completely anybody else (together with Bowie) could be to attempt to take Jag out, and failing that, eliminate Matt. However can they win sufficient of something to do both?

Jag Bains (25, truck firm proprietor) continues to dominate this endgame part of the season. 5 consecutive wins is totally unimaginable, however it additionally pains an enormous goal on his again. He is obtained the entire home believing they’re good with him, however there are lots of people additionally goal him. The issue for them is that they can not seem to win competitions. He is positioned proper now to run away with all of it. [Grade: A]
Matthew Klotz (27, deaflympics gold medalist) is in an awesome place to get carried to the tip, however we predict he’d have a tough time successful. Sure. he is beloved by each single particular person in the home, however it may be exhausting to persuade anybody that he is really performed this recreation more durable than Jag. His greatest hope of victory is another person taking Jag out, since he would by no means do it. [Grade: B]
Cirie Fields (53, nurse) continues to carry a surprisingly robust spot, contemplating how little she’s accomplished since Izzy’s eviction many, many moons in the past. Now, she’s obtained Felicia attempting to throw her underneath the bus. However she’s additionally obtained Matt and her personal talents with persuasion. She nearly all the time finds a strategy to the tip. Can she win? That may be exhausting to promote. But when anybody can do it, she will. [Grade: B-]
Felicia Cannon (63, actual property agent) is seen as unstable and unpredictable, however we additionally do not assume anybody actually needs to sit down together with her on the finish. She’s really fairly persuasive herself and an excellent speaker. She’s simply not robust sufficient in competitions to manage her personal destiny, and we suspect different HGs could be extra cautious of taking her than Cirie and even America. [Grade: C]

They’ve offers with everybody (besides America) to go to the tip, however they’re additionally actively concentrating on anybody who may threaten them in a contest.

America Lopez (27, medical receptionist) is a straightforward eviction at any time, however is she maybe too straightforward? With out Cory, what menace is she, actually?

Blue Kim (25, model strategist) is a non-winning competitors beast, confirmed time and time once more. She’s additionally loyal to a fault and constantly falls for folks sweet-talking her and stroking her ego. She is consuming out of Jag’s fingers these previous two weeks as he is masterfully dealt with her. Now he is dealing with her proper out the door to satisfy Julie, and we do not see a home flip saving her. [Grade: D-]
