BBB 2: Draft & Episode 2

Season 32, supposedly the most dangerous season yet is now underway! What hasn't been advertised by CBS is that this very well could be one of the dumbest seasons ever as well. From the "smart" tribe drinking non-sterilized water to the "strong" tribe not knowing the difference between embryos & embers, dummies abound. They may have pushed the Brains, Brawn, Beauty theme a bit too hard considering the cast they have. Seems like they tried to fit a square peg into a round hole this time around.

After watching the last episode, I'm starting to think that the players we all thought were strong may have been overrated. Some of them just hadn't been given the airtime to speak yet & thus prove their worthlessness. So I think the pool is still very much up in the air. Only time will tell us which of these teams proves themselves to be the least incompetent.

Power Rankings:

1. Bagdrea: They're off to an early lead & have a bunch of the Beauty tribe which currently looks way stronger than either of the other tribes. It probably won't be long before they mix up the tribes, but Bagdrea should be able to  build up a nice lead in the meantime. And Caleb & Tai look to be strong enough payers to adapt & thrive when the mix up does happen.

2. Michal & Ben: I'm edging us out ahead of MoonBee because I really like the Peter/Debbie combo we have going. Peter sees the value in keeping a loon like Debbie around & I see that benefiting both of these players in the long run. Anna is still an unknown, and I'm still not sure if Kyle Jason goes by Kyle or Jason... either way he's pretty obnoxious but at least he seems smart and adaptable.

3.MoonBee: Neal & Julia both look solid, though it's too early to say that with a lot of confidence. I don't think Scot has a very log shelf life... his tribe is a mess & guys his size usually don't last long on the rations & in the conditions that Survivor offers. Aubry was pretty much a ghost this episode but I think she'll turn out to be a massive bargain as the 2nd-to-last person picked. Her season premiere meltdown was reminiscent of Mike's dreg draft. I din't think she has anywhere close to the point potetial of Mike, but I do think she'll be a nice asset for this team in the dreg position.

4. Doug & Bri: Well, it turns out that Jenny is really quite erratic... or else that bug did far more damage than we thought! I've never seen someone so effectively kick themselves out of the game before. J'Tia threw her tribe's whole food supply in the fire & they kept her around. We've had a couple players in the past ask for their tribe to vote them out, which is a plea that is usually ignored. Jenny found the perfect thing to say to completely change a tribal council vote - something future would-be quitters should keep in mind. It's really too bad for Doug & Bri because this was my favorite team before Jenny's self-destruction. Liz now looks like she's on thinner ice than she deserves to be thanks to Crusty Joe & Loony Debbie. And Cydney & Michele are a strong supporting cast, but won't be enough to get this team a win this season.


Douche of the Week:
Gotta go with Vytas... okay, maybe Kyle Jason instead.
