Yeah, but Turner should also realize that Turner, by default, becomes the Monte in this situation should Kyle not be available because Kyle wins something. Turner could become a performance ally because it protects him in the game just as much as it helps Britt and Michael. Of course, all it does is reinforce the privilege that white people have in this game, a choice that is the exact reason why the Cookout HAD to do what it did. 3 minutes ago, Brian Cronin said: Michael is a smart guy, so if he's SO confident that this will work, maybe I'm missing something, because yeah, while I certainly see it hurting Kyle, it's not like Kyle was popular with HGs anyways, most people are using him as a shield, and if you're using him as a shield like Turner is, you sure as fuck aren't going to nominate him, but, again, maybe Michael has a better grasp on these people than I do. Eh...I don't think Michael is great at the social stuff, and he way overthinks the motivation of individuals. Turner really wants to hide in a group, though, so if Turner can hide behind Monte and Michael, he may take this justification and run with it. 1 Link to comment

It's super gross because you have Kyle with the racism, you have Turner with the performative allyship, and now you have Michael trying to be the white savior figure but only because his game was threatened. Like what? And, hopefully, Monte follows that up with "So, you feel badly about this, but not enough to save the BLACK WOMAN ON THE BLOCK over your clear #2? And you're willing to let ME, a BLACK MAN, go up on the block, if Turner isn't willing to turn on his ally, Kyle. Gotcha..." White saviorship can only go so far, ya know? Same with Turner's performative allyship... And it's not even as if Kyle isn't perfectly aware of his own racism - there's a reason he approached another white man and a white woman in the house with this plan... Yeesh. These people are all toxic. ETA - Gross. Turner & Michael are chatting and, apparently, Taylor is now Turner's target - or so he's telling Michael - and he's likely to put either Terrance or Alyssa up on the block. Soooo, bro-ing down with the Pound guys, and more than willing to put anyone but the white guy up on the block. Maybe Michael can manipulate Turner into putting Kyle up with this crazy, bad plan.

As long as at least 3 of Michael/Monte/Brittany/Taylor are off the block on eviction night, they control the vote. The point is that if he takes down Brittany and exposes Kyle, then Turner will have to decide if having two POC on the block is a "good look" for him. It is extra pressure for him to turn on Kyle because he is the only available option. If Taylor is taken down, then Turner can feel less guilty about putting up Monte next to a white woman. I despise that this is what the game has come to, but if it means that both Monte and Taylor survive this week, then so be it. Michael is Spock-level pragmatic. 1 Link to comment

Sorry, @HighQueenEB. I think I was stuck in Baltimore while the veto comp was happening. Not that it mattered. We could all join hands, chant and pray to the goddess Janelle, and the season would still be fucked. Michael can play his totally gross and calculated racial sensitivity card, but I think the time for that has passed. I just don’t think Turner will care. He was all about being Mr. AntiBully and standing up for what’s right when the game was in early days, but now that he can smell the money, he’ll find a way to rationalize away Michael’s claims. Having Taylor and Monte on the block together may be bad optics, but since they’re not in his shiny new alliance, total coincidence! The only one who might react appropriately is Terrance. (Might. Because who ever knows what’s going on in that brain. Too many bus fumes.) Whoever Michael pulls down, Monte’s going home. Which leaves Michael, Brittany and Taylor vs Kyle, Alyssa, Turner and Terrance. Which means unless Michael wins next HoH (or Britt or Taylor, but come on), Ponyboy and the rest of the Outsiders will steamroll to the end. Stay gold, jackasses. And by the way, if Kyle tries to do anything to this American’s face, he’s going to wish he still had the ability to go 10 seconds, if you know what I mean. That shit was deeply disturbing. 4 Link to comment

SummerDreams August 28, 2022 Share August 28, 2022 I have no idea why race is interfering with a social and strategic game and that's why I hated the cookout last year, because it opened this Pandora's box and I don't know when it will be closed. Turner is in a final three alliance with Kyle and Alyssa, I posted the video where he says so. He will evict Monte so he gets closer to his end game and protect his alliance as will Michael use the veto on Brittany to protect his alliance. It's as simple as that. 6 Link to comment
me5671 August 28, 2022 Share August 28, 2022 Man, Michael is such a comp beast. He had to win veto this week to stay in the house and he did! This plan of his shows that he will do anything and use any angle to win. He is playing a cold, emotionless, take-no-prisoners kind of game.

He’d have been ok with Brittany or Taylor leaving and not nominating Michael to begin with was with the slim chance of him not getting picked for veto and he almost wasn’t, he was the last pick.

Well, considering we have: Kyle: a backstabbing racist with the emotional maturity of a wet pool noodle Michael: a racist enabler with a cold, robotic approach Brittany: a yes-woman coattail rider Alyssa: a dimwit clingy girlfriend who is willing to settle for Kyle, which speaks volumes about her judgment Monte: a misogynist at least in his romantic relationships, which doesn’t necessarily apply here but still doesn’t make him a hero Turner: a surface level hippie who is so convinced of his own coolness he almost made us believers, revealed as the walking personification of pond scum Terrance: a total non-entity aside from a few brief moments of solid gameplay Taylor: a super sweet girl who is so eager to please, she seeks approval for every move You tell me!

On the other hand, Kyle, Turner and Alyssa would be mean/catty people. Just my opinion. I don't have a good read on Monte and Terrance but I would put them between the two above groups in my mind. I would hang out with M/B/or Taylor any day. People do show their true natures in this game but it is JUST A GAME so I don't fault M and B for their game play. Others may say Kyle's is game play as well but that kind of game play is not acceptable to me. Joseph being a double agent, yes...good game play. Alyssa hiding behind Kyle, game play.
