Andy was ten times the player of Frankie. Andy went 12 weeks without ever being figured out or exposed, which to be fair said a lot about his opposition more than it did about his game. Frankie has already been sussed out by many, but he's not a big fish at the moment. That being said, I worry about where this season is going. The Derrick/Cody/Zach/Frankie group look solid, and there really doesn't seem to be anything there that could stop them, though I do think they'll inevitably end up turning on each other once Caleb, Amber and some of other threats are gone.
Caleb and Amber are loyal to a fault, and thus are unaware of their place in the pecking order and keep taking every single bit of information back to the higher powers. They'll be inevitably picked off in the next few weeks, long before they realise that they have always been the bottom rung of their supposed alliance. Christine has at the very least had the deceny to build a side-alliance and certainly seems better aware of what's going on, but will happily ride out this comfortable position she has to the end game. Nicole seems sharp but probably lacks the mantle to have a realstic crack at those boys and probably needs them to turn on each other before they have a go at her. Jocasta and Victoria are easy pickings and will never do anything big. Donny.. well Donny actually
could be a good wildcard, but realistically, he isn't going to be able to overthrow an alliance when the only person he has to help him is probably Jocasta. I do have hope for Hayden, but I've discovered today that his main target in the group would be Caleb, which ultimately will hinder him more than help. I did have a moment of excitement earlier when it seemed that Cody was breaking up with Caleb already, which just might have opened up a rift amongst the group, but his allies (correctly for them ) put that on the kabosh, and we're back where we started.
To be honest, this season desperately needed to get rid of the stupid BoB comp this week and get down to single HoH's. Even if someone unexpected won coHoH next week, they'd probably have a partner who would prevent them from making any type of big move, and we'll probably be saying adios to another left-behind next week.
