mooses August 31, 2020 Share August 31, 2020 (edited) Pretty good Ian talking about his strategy/his position in the House. He wanted to work with Kaysar, and was hoping he or Kaysar could win HOH and blow up the "Kids Alliance." He even said he'd pull Kaysar down if he won Veto. I assume he's referencing Cody/Daniele/Tyler. He knows he's in a bad position and is "dying a slow death." From this, it seems clear he's just treading water and hoping to win some competitions. I wouldn't mind him winning HOH, just to see what he does when Nicole tries to get him not to touch Daniele/Cody. Edited August 31, 2020 by mooses 6 Link to comment

I think he made a mistake keeping David over Nicole A., considering that, in the end, Nicole A. would have probably been less anti-Kaysar than David is, but I don't know how he would have gotten the numbers to keep her anyway. He's clearly not okay with the status quo, but he hasn't had any opportunities to change it. It at least seems like he's more-so playing the role of Nicole's pet to keep himself safe than actually believing it since The Cool Kids Alliance has had run of the game since Week One. He easily could have been BD-ed last week and this week if he didn't play loyal soldier to them because they were the ones that protected him. He used Nicole being the most well-connected HG coming into this house to his advantage because he hasn't really had any other choice. It's kind of the same with a lot of these "outsiders" - there hasn't really been a power shift for things to change. The difference is that at least Ian seems to recognize this is a problem, while everyone else seems to still be obsessed with appeasing The House even if they were in power (Da'Vonne/Bayleigh talked about putting up Kaysar if they won HOH this week! Da'Vonne's target was going to be David! Christmas volunteered to be a pawn to target someone she'd prefer to stay! Enzo is protecting Ian for no reason that benefits himself!). I give him more credit than them who seem to fail to recognize that they're also drawing dead if nothing changes. 7 Link to comment

I give him more credit than them who seem to fail to recognize that they're also drawing dead if nothing changes. I think his big mistake was telling Janelle in week 2 he had no interest in working with her and told her she better not go after him and Nicole because no one wants work with him since Janelle told Day/Bay this. He should have taken Janelle on her offer to get more info from that side of the house. He said a few weeks ago he was okay being Brigaed to the end because Britney got fifth. Janelle would have never gone after Ian and besides Kaysar is the only one who respected Ian in the house. At least those three aren't delusional enough thinking they can comp there end to the game. 6 Link to comment

The comps the last couple of seasons are more physical. If Tyler, Cody, Xmas, Dani and Kevin all make it to the jury phase I see them being better than Ian on comps. I think Kevin is pretty underrated when it comes to comps. Ian's original season once it hit jury, he only had Frank and Shane who were better than him and neither of them were winning a mental comp over him. I think Tyler, Dani and Kevin have a good shot beating Ian at a mental comp this year. Also, Tyler is much smarter than Cody, Russell or Jeff or the average DudeAlpha male bro they usually cast. Not saying he is genius material. Also Nicole is pretty good at comps and if they are nominated together I could see her winning a veto over Ian.

mooses September 1, 2020 Share September 1, 2020 (edited) Ian breaking down the House dynamics to Kevin (with Nicole/Cody as The Core), and turns to speak to us to convince us to give him a power - he says he's willing to take a shot, and if he doesn't get the chance, this season is "going the way of BB19." "I'll be gone probably around eighth place. I'd rather just take a shot now and risk effin' it up, rather than just dying a slow death and go out eighth. Otherwise, it's a total waste of my time...I mean, getting to Jury is good because it's an extra 12k. Who doesn't need an extra 12k lying around? And there's no living expenses." But he says he still wants to take the shot. "We probably have about 3 or 4 rounds to make something happen." "Nicole was told to round up the girls and me, and Cody was told to round up the boys. I bet Enzo thinks he's in Brigade 2 because that appeals to him. He thinks he's The Core because he was last time. But there is no core. The core is two - Cody and Coco. Nicody. This is what Derrick was doing pre-season, was setting them up for success..." [Camera cuts away] He seems pretty right about most of the House (and the Wall Yeller really snapped him into active game mode), except he's a few steps behind and thinks that David would be the target next week. He tells Kevin the target has to be kept off of them, (and on David, who he thinks would be the target) unless they win HOH - then they can do something about it.

30 Helens September 1, 2020 Share September 1, 2020 Day and Bay think they’re not winning competitions because it’s not God’s will. Oh, so THAT’S why. Ian and Kevin strategizing. Ian is letting him in on the power structure, where people think they stand, and where they really stand. He’s pretty accurate, as far as I can tell. He says it’s like an octopus, with Cody and Nicole at the center of the spider. (huh?) He wants to form an alliance. You can tell it’s real because they want to name it. Ian wants to blow something up, because he’d rather go out now making noise than slink away in 8th place. (I think that would be fine to Kevin, because he’s already staked out 7th place for himself.) I love how everyone wants to “blow stuff up” as soon as they get HoH, including Enzo, who is tired of the stress and just wants to be left alone, yo. Ian keeps stressing that nothing can be leaked from this conversation. So who does everyone think Kevin will run to first? 5 Link to comment
