InBig Brother, a certain degree of chicanery is expected.

You just have to be circumspect and not let your fellow players in on your guile or underhandedness.

This wisdom was lost on Isabella, evidently.

She told Kemi about her final-three deal with Jack and Michie on day one.

What was Isabella thinking, exactly?

But I cant keep my mouth shut.

Or as Jessica put it, Thats a bitch-ass move.

Then again, the same seemed true about this week and then Isabella started opening her mouth.

With that in mind, lets speculate.

This is theBig BrotherPower Ranking: Five players whove made moves good and bad.

Some are poised for domination (perhaps).

Others seem condemned soon enough to the block.

As our host Julie Chen is always reminding us: Expect the unexpected.

Sam

Is Sam a comp beast?

For someone so shrewd, not being able to play must be frustrating.

I feel you, David.

May you return to the game proper soon.

Loose lips sink ships.

How can you not like Ovi?

He swiftly disabuses her: Yes, there are.

Youre just not in them.

Probably theyshoulddistance themselves at this point.

Almost certainly it should be done with more tact and self-awareness.

He doesnt know it, but hes on to a lot there.

You should have won, Sam tells Tyler, wronged runner-up ofBig Brother20.

(Hes absolutely right, and Im sure Tyler has heard it a lot over the last year.)

I wont tell that to Kaycee, he retorts dryly, unwilling to bad-mouth the woman who beat him.

Was he simply trying to stir the pot?

Cast doubt on persons unknown?

Or is there something else going on that we havent seen yet?
