I saw someone say that Drew is a floater(won’t say who for spoiler purposes)? Do you think Drew is a floater or is he loyal to 2 alliances and just making everyone else feel more comfortable than they should with him?
I was watching all of it but I don’t remember
When did players start getting big final table rails that were visible before they won? I remember Chan with Gold but not a whole crew
When did players start going to their rail every time there was an all in to watch the runout?

>!I put feed spoilers because the episdes haven't alluded to people thinking Mallory might have won the power.!<
>!Let's say Mallory wins the vote next week (I think she's in the lead) and she gets a punishment or wins the "never not" pass (I think those are the non-secret ones). What do you think Dee will do/say to Devens? I assume she'll just deny to Angela and let her come up with another paranoid idea but I don't think Devens will buy Dee keeps not winning America's vote.!<
>!I've seen a lot of "Drew is dumb for not realizing his alliance/the vets have turned on him." To me, this sounds like complete "we know what they don't." Are you really going to tell me after a solid 3 weeks you would just think your entire core alliance, including your number one that you've been riding with all season so far, would just turn on you 100% without saying anything? Especially when you've done nothing but be honest about every move you've made? Never in the history of Big Brother have I think I've seen an alliance turn on one of their own as a blindside. Especially prejury and especially week 4. If you thought this, you'd have to be as paranoid as Angela that everybody is out to get you.!<
>!I can understand the reasoning of getting him out in Deven's mind (he leaks too much) and Drew is rightfully concerned about H/K/C blindsiding him/the Crossovers (why he's scrambling for at least 2 votes so he's still safe if that happens) but he's got to trust at least Barrett to give him a heads up. Anyway, just my 2 cents from a fellow "Drew."!<
>!Let's say you're Drew. Your alliance turned on you, you're screwed. But you have "Crossover" info that is dangerous for the vets. I've seen a few times where the person on the block "reveals all" but they still go home and it just causes problems for the other people later. What are some examples of it blowing up the alliance enough that it actually saves the person on the block? !<
Saw this tweet and wanted to see if people agreed:
Toolshed may be screwed next week in power
7/30 edit to add: OK, now think Barrett will no longer flip and if D/B had any sense they'd be gunning for HoH to show their allegiance to the toolshed.
"Nominations are open to the public. It’s just not an outright popularity contest: top 8 not based solely on vote count."
Josh Arieh said this on Twitter:
"There is nothing wrong with going broke. It’s happened to nearly all the best players in the world.
The problem is STAYING broke.
Make good decisions, keep your word, pay your debts, help your people out when you’re running good.
Those people will be there for you when you need them.
Don’t be ashamed of GOING broke. Figure out the why and fix whatever needs to be fixed. You’ll be pumped up in no time."
Chris Brewer disagreed
"You and I could not be more opposite on this. I think the number one thing people should never do is go broke, and chance of running hot enough to spin it up again is way too low. Is so much better to have too little of a big win than too much of a big loss."
I'm definitely with Chris on this. But it does feel like, especially with variance, that's how a lot of the "big names" got to where they are.
Especially if you're young, should you exercise good bankroll management and slowly build or should you just take big shots and not worry about going to $0?
"The "3-2-1 lottery" proposal, named to represent the number of lottery balls per team, would expand the lottery from 14 to 16 teams. Teams that do not qualify for the playoffs or play-in tournament but stay out of the relegation zone (spots four through 10) would receive three lottery balls each.
Teams with a bottom-three record -- the relegation zone -- would have just two lottery balls but have a floor of the 12th pick while the rest of the 13 lottery teams could fall as far as the 16th pick.
The 9th and 10th play-in seeds in each conference receive two lottery balls each while the losers of the 7-8 play-in games receive one lottery ball each.
In addition, no team would be able to win the top pick in consecutive years or be able to win three consecutive top-five picks. Teams also would not be able to protect picks in the 12 to 15 slots going forward."
