This is veering into boring territory.

BB Bucks was a fun idea, but it definitely backfired.
The Cookout saw Britini have the potential to buy a power so they targeted her. They saw Derek X have the potential to buy a power so now they're targeting him. It's essentially punishing houseguests for being popular with the audience.

Another season of an alliance running train on everyone is less than fun.

If producers keep telling you to play and you don't, as much as it's an "unfair" advantage, just play. And you're dumb not to think you're a target.

Speaking of.....
Someone should be on to the cookout by now. They've played a good game, but anyone who knows the game should be able to sniff it out at this point

I don't dislike the group (Tiffany is a bit much but she's not unlikable) but this annual tradition of alliance runs over everyone and nobody figures it out until it's way too late is boring. Thought with the team nonsense to start that we might get a variation this year. Nope.

They've played a good game, but anyone who knows the game should be able to sniff it out at this point But there's a huge elephant in the room, and with the recent history of public backlash of houseguests, they may not want to be vilified. I could be thinking way too much into it, but it's still a slippery slope to climb imo. Not saying non cookout members should let the game pass them by, but it's understandable to be dismissive about it.

This season has been decent and the cast been solid, but I do feel it’s been a bit overhyped, partly because last season was so disappointing.
Then again, as much as this show can piss me off, I try not to buy into it too much as a Serious Strategic Game. I’m just watching hamsters playing carnival games for money, at the end of day.

Oh it's been better than last year, no doubt. And I'll give props to the producers for not casting glaring stereo/archtypes this season. My gripe is that I just want *some* kind of counter to the way the game has been played the last half dozen seasons. I get that alliances are a thing. I'd just prefer seeing a battle between 2 strong alliances as opposed to watching one pick off outsiders one by one with little to no resistance

I will say BB has a bit of a problem,that has nothing to do without The Cookout or anyone in this cast persay. Basically players have broken the code of forming a giant alliance and steamrolling all outsiders.All their twists every year backfire on them and it usually is something that keeps the alliance together psychology. It gives them a common enemy to fight against. Giant alliance steamrolling has largely been how every season since 16 has played out. Doesn't matter if the cast is mostly superfans or recruits,or if you cast mostly relatively nice people like this year 16 or 17 or mostly psychopaths and sociopaths like 19 and 21. You definitely need to rework how they format the game,the challenge structure etc.

They should have kept the format around longer and created some kind of incentives for teams to stick together within themselves. It would at least be a new wrinkle in the game as opposed to "super group kills clueless outsiders one by one"

I think we’re looking at Xavier, Tiffany, or Hannah as our winner. The latter two would do good business in getting X out before the final 4 at the latest.
