Caleb is so funny. Of course BB Twitter/Reddit is melting about that.

Pretty much all humans are naturally and instinctually drawn to want to be around attractive people of the opposite sex, and Alyssa is (imo) by far the best looking of the group

Which is exactly why he shouldn’t have picked her. The second he did, every person in that house said, oh obviously they are a duo we have to break them up.

It just wasn’t smart game play because it presents an obvious target for the rest of the group, and again wasn’t even really a smart move if he’s trying to hook up because it just comes off as too obvious imo.

Again, as far as game play, I prefer to be teamed up with not obvious pairings that give me an in to form a bond because we’re forced to. The more obvious connections will most likely happen naturally in the house anyway.

That’s why Frenchie choosing Azah and Derek F was really smart. Instead of trying to find ways to approach them and find common ground, they automatically have that connection of needing to work together to an extent.


Would Christian have an easier time walking up to Alyssa or Tiffany to form a bond to work together do you think?

That’s how you have to make that decision strategically imo.

I just think the mindset of "he picked her to try to hook up and she hooked up with someone else so he's wrong and an idiot" isn't really accurate.

---

I didn’t say he was an idiot. I said he was young and unaware and made a bone headed move. Especially if hooking up was the goal because with his next pick he had to choose between what looks like another alpha male, that he’d probably love to work with on the team but will also put a potential competitor closer to the girl he’s trying to hook up with, and likely a far less threatening competitor, both for the girl and in the game for his team.


I just think it was a rash decision based off of instinct, like you said, instead of strategic gameplay (and foreplay lol).

This looks a really strong group imo.

Frenchie to Kyland says he likes Tiffany. Wants to see more of the other HGs personalities before they choose their fourth alliance member later today.

---

French, Ky and Whitney already on board.. I assume..

Kind of bummed Whitney is in that group.

Maybe she’ll end up pissing them off. Swap out Claire for Whitney and I like that crew

Can someone tell me what the big draw about Claire is? I just don't really see it

For me I didn’t find her video all that memorable until the very end when she said she expected people to think they could use her to gain an advantage. She said that was totally fine with her because she’d be doing the exact same thing to them at the same time. Just struck me as one of the more strategically sound thoughts anyone said in their videos.


Then I was struck by her physically standing next to the other girls before their entrance. Just looks well put together like a basketball player or something.

Also seemed to really keep her cool during both competitions. Stayed calm and wasn’t running around crazy in the first one and didn’t even hesitate after Frenchie finished the second one because she knew they were still playing for second.

I also think she chose her team wisely.

Just pretty impressed and had a good feeling about her.


We’ll see how she is going forward

the claire appeal initially is because she is a superfan and replaced a recruit (christie, bald chick)

so, a fairly attractive female superfan who everyone expects will provide entertaining gameplay

being bi makes her more interesting than usual, as well
