Week 6A
1. What does the revelation of the Bullet Club mean for you?
Not a damn thing, really. I could not have cared less if Jake revealed it or not. I'm a member and I'm not on the block this week, so let Jake and Casey and everyone else be dramatic and crazy. I'm just playing the game for fun, not some war of good and evil. It's whatever to me.
2. Can there be bitter juries?
Of course. People can be like me, and call things down the middle, or they can be biased, hold grudges or not have the ability to look past a bid for power between teammates or a betrayal to appreciate the strategy behind it (like how I respect how Joe told me the truth by not voting for me, and still got me eliminated with the other house guests). People are varied and flawed, and if you leave things to opinion and not fact, you will always have skewed opinions.
3. If you become a juror, what criteria will you use to decide the winner?
Like I said, I call things down the middle. My criteria will be the number of competitions won, the strategy used by the player in question, and how well they respond to my juror questions. So my criteria will be ability (comps won), social skill (strategy and ease of survival) and reasoning ability (how will they fair under my judgement with their defense presented).
4. Who deserves to win this game right now?
Can't say. I'm torn between Jacob, Jake, Casey and Amanda because they are all competition beasts and have played the game well enough to survive thus far. Without bias, I would say Jacob because he has survived multiple attempts to get him evicted and won the last HOH is insane time, earning lots of respect points with me. I hold no grudge nor bias to Jacob, so if he can outlast the entire club, I may have to give him my vote.
5. Do you think this game is fair?
Mostly, to a 95% yes, I'd say. I don't really like the eviction voting aspect of games like this one and Survivor, and I prefer that you lose and be evicted (or cast off in the other show) by losing your head to head against the opponent. I prefer skill vs. begging, pleading, lying and politicking your way out of a loss. That's why I loved the first half of this season, because even if you are not a good social player, you have a fighting chance by going against your opponent and not the whole house basically. However, if you can win many of the season's HOH's or the POV's, your skill will carry you most of the way, and depending on how you handle being seen as a threat and gain allies, you should be set for when it comes to votes. I do think the game is fair, up until the final two, because like I said, I prefer skill over politics, but that's just how these games are. It's just as mental as it is physical, and even if it's not my style, I think it's fair and fun. The only thing I would ever change is having a last battle competition between the final two, and the jury votes to who gets an advantage instead of the outright win. If I am going to lose, I want it to be because I couldn't beat my opponent, not because of people possibly having bias, grudges or skewed opinions. A competition produces a factual winner. Juries only provide opinions, a paper winner and doubt.
