Round 14

Posts your thoughts going into round 14 below!

Jordan is falling into a similar story arc that Natalie fell into last round. He is trying to do wayyyy more than he should be. I could see this being the end of his game... he talks too much but he always talks to the wrong people. SLOPPY!

Ricky seems to have lost a lot of power this round, considering Knight/Danny have discussed flipping on him. Realistically, these two should keep him a bit longer due to the fact that Ricky is always going to be a meat shield, but I do not see him surviving past the F8 at this rate. Knight/Danny are really walking a tight rope with their games and idk if they have the finesse to perfectly time these next few votes. 

Taylor is RULING this game right now. Literally everyone trusts her and she has two idols... she remains my number 1 winner pick right now and it's going to take A LOT to get her out at this point.

Mojo and Bailey are both playing solid low key games, nobody knows about Mojo's idol and this is going to help him moving forward. Bailey seems to be silently causing chaos but nobody has caught on... yikes.

Aubra seems ready to make a move soon, but idk how much traction she has. Poor thing   I want her to slide by, but she really needs to get in dirty with some players that she might not want to get in with in order to not be picked off soon (ex. Knight/Danny).

Vee/Jake/Josh are non factors and have done nothing to shake up this round... yawn.

Aubra really wanted to make a move this round against Ricky but couldn't get it through. I like that she tried to take a stand, but part of me wonders if she ever had a chance. Like, if I were in Aubra's spot right now, I legitimately don't know what I could do to tilt the game in my favour. Being on NuPink and having to vote out so many people that would have been allies for her at merge - while TSL had the opportunity to spend more than a week building relationships (and seemingly taking DannyK and Knight away from Ricky...good lord...) - is just a bad spot to be in.

Regardless, once again I commend her for having really good reads on the game. She understands that TSL has so many people in her pocket, and Aubra is understandably frustrated that people seem to be playing for TSL to win rather than for themselves. I just wonder if Aubra is in a position to actually do anything with the amazing reads she has, given how much the deck is stacked against her at this point.

Also, to be clear, the point of the above post is not that TSL is just getting lucky. Even without her swap luck and idol luck, she's easily shown the most skill out of this entire cast. She's straight up making zombies out of some otherwise-solid players and, to paraphrase BB14's JennCity, she's sending her enemies out of this game in bodybags.

Right now, if there was an ORG/LRG player of the year for 2019, I'd give it to my fellow Vancouverite Cole Coupland for the following resumé:

Bigger Brother - 1/24
Reelfoot 7 - 2/24
(SPOILER OMITTED live game coming to YouTube soon) - 1/15

But if TSL makes a deep run in this game, and especially if she wins, I think she might surpass Cole (if she hasn't already):

Bigger Brother - 3/24 (Cole won final HoH and evicted her)
Endure 8 - 4/24
Survivor BC 6 - 2/16
Home for the Holidaze (or whatever that game was called) - 1/15(?)
All Out - 1?/24

Regardless of how this game pans out, TSL has been...impressive this year to say the least.
