I liked Frankie until I saw him handle himself with Zach, then I REALLY liked Frankie. Donny surprised me and I kinda like him as well. If just for the fact that he seems to bewilder those who are conspiracy addicts.
Has Devin never seen Big Brother before? That's EXACTLY what I said watching the episode! He is going to crash and burn so quickly. Did he forget that there are still months to go in the game? He's a spectacular moron.
Zach clearly chose a character to play and one that rarely wins the game. Sorta like that Prim Time 99 guy from Glass House who has been appearing on other reality competitions and losing every one of them quickly. I love his adaptation of Rachel's floaters quote. Except...it's the first week! His ambition to be the notorious player is too transparent. Boring.
Paola tries to sound cunning, but only comes across as shallow and stupid. You can tell everything that comes out of her mouth is planned for a marketing sound byte. She speaks only in the drunk co-ed vernacular.
Originally, I liked the blue-haired girl, but her constant need to act as positive-reinforcement cheerleader to everyone is really annoying me. "Good job!" Yeah, you say that to EVERY SINGLE PLAYER. Some people just actually suck at stuff and don't need to be placated. Don't be the mom who shouts at her child who dropped the fly ball, "Nice hustle!" It's embarrassing.
This whole convoluted HOH twist could create some interesting strategies as they will have to call out nominees early on and decide if they want to reveal their true strategy or nominate those whom they believe will lose the challenge (hoping to nominate their true target after the POV). So basically, winning an HOH competition is just the first step in being HOH and it's up to the potential nominees to determine HOH. And whoever loses their HOH status in the battle could end up being a much bigger target because of the nominees they chose. Unless, of course, the two potential HOHs are in the same alliance. It's complicated and weird, but it's too early to see how effective it is. Personally, I just don't think it was necessary to add to the game. It seems more like CBS is trying to weed out floaters who win by pitting weak players in competition with each other.
