It's so so so frustrating to know that, judging from history (and the people in question), the women are not going to try to get it together to break up the dudes somehow. This season is SO BAD, and so poorly cast. The men who aren't total misogynists are COMPLETELY INEFFECTUAL. I like James well enough but he wasn't a game player in his first season, particularly, and he's basically a floater this season, too. And Corey -- how did Corey get cast? Has he EVER had a game suggestion? I find Nicole annoying, but at least she does stuff (even if said stuff, like telling Frank everything Day ever said, is ill-advised). Paulie and Paul are unbearable, and Victor is a complete ass.
But now that Day is gone, none of the women seem to me like they are even playing -- unless there is a lot more strategy talk than we're seeing, which I doubt. Which means there is no one to root for, as far as I am concerned. I like Natalie and Z both but neither of them seem like they are actually that trying that hard to win this and I can't see a way for either one of them to pull it off at this point, although I'd love it. It's frustrating. I honestly think that if there had been a few stronger players in the cast, it would have been a totally different season. Paulie is clearly very pleased with his Big Brother Skills, but I think he would have a had a much, much, much rougher time if he'd been up against a Derrick or an Evil Dr Will (who would have eaten him for lunch), a Dan, or a Janelle. Or, honestly, a Rachel Reilly even. I think Paulie and Paul are actually both decent players, but they are REALLY benefiting from the fact that NO ONE ELSE in this season other than Day and Frank have tried ANYTHING.
I think Bridgette is going to turn out to the the Victoria of this season and end up, inexplicably, in the finals.
