I have to be honest and say that last Thursday's live show was the best one of this season, by far, and one of the best I've seen in the last couple seasons. I thought that Casey's exit speech was the best one I've ever seen and I enjoyed seeing him stick it to Ronnie and Jessie. Also, during the show, the coup d'état was introduced, which means that more than likely, my favorites get to be safe for a couple more weeks. I'm really not a big fan of outside influence and think that the America's Choice twist compromises the whole game but I have to admit that I didn't mind this one.

Week 4 RealityWanted Rankings:

13th Braden (-)  Evicted

In the words of Braden himself, "Congratulations."

12th Laura (-)  Evicted

Big Brother savvy but not as much as Ronnie "The Lich King" Talbott.

11th Casey (-)  Evicted

DJ Mingle Mixx is now available for birthdays and bar mitzvahs.

10th Ronnie (-2)

It looks like the Lich King is finally going to be on his way out. I actually think he has gotten a couple extra weeks in the house and has played one of the worst games to date but luck has been on his side with the people who have won the Head of Household the last couple weeks.  Jeff, Jordan, Michelle and Kevin appear to be locks to vote out Ronnie. I don't think there is anyway to flip the house this week and he is the easier choice to vote out.

9th Jessie (+1)

I'm really surprised that Jessie hasn't been evicted yet, but I believe that his day is coming soon. He's another person that has had luck on his side with the clique twist, so that he couldn't be nominated and the fact that Ronnie won Head of Household week 2. I think the fact that he was in the house last season is still weighing heavy on everyone's minds and he will be dealt with soon. If someone not in his immediate alliance wins Head of Household this week, then I see him and Natalie going up on the block.

8th Lydia (-1)

I think it would be quaint if we could get a double eviction this week and bounce Lydia, as well. She is shaping up to be one of the most hated houseguests of all time. This week, she stooped to an all-time low with telling Kevin to make Michelle cry by talking about one of her family members, who died. I can not wait until she gets evicted and I expect a huge live eviction rant, ala Chelsea from Season 9.


7th Natalie (+2)

A lot of things can happen this week but what I do feel will happen is that the coup d'état will put Jessie, Lydia and Natalie in a very susceptible spot. I believe that Natalie will be in risk of leaving this week but inevitably still believe that Jessie will and should be targeted before Natalie is. She still has a big mouth and is not even remotely personable so regardless of who goes this week, I think she will be dealt with before a lot of the others.

6th Chima (-1)

As I stated in my week one power rankings, the person who escapes the week one eviction usually makes it a good distance in the game. I think this is because of the fact that they get a shock of how quickly there game could have been over. That being said, I really don't think that Chima has made any great moves and is playing the typical floater role. She is doing an admirable job by coasting by a couple weeks here and staying out of people's faces for the most part. I still see her as a middle of the pack type player but that could change if she decides to start making some long term deals.

5th Russell (-2)

Russell made a big move this week by nominating Ronnie and Lydia. He is forming an alliance with Jeff and Jordan and I believe this is a solid move for him, especially with the coup d'état being in play. I'm sure that Jessie and Natalie are cognizant of the fact that Russell is not really on board with their plan but I still believe that they would rather break up Jeff and Jordan before trying to get rid of Russell. Russell needs to look out for Chima though, as it looks like she has it out for him.

4th Jeff (+2)

I think that Jeff is a lock to win the coup d'état this week which will ensure safety for himself and Jordan through next week. If he does win the coup d'état and uses it, the rest of the house will know that he is admired by America and this could also hinder him but as of this week he is in a very good position. He is also becoming very chummy with Russell which could be a good alliance down the road.

3rd Jordan (+1)

I still feel as though Jordan will be brought to the final four, based on the fact that she isn't as educated as the rest of the house. She is viewed as "not that bright" and easy to beat within the house but she is also very personable so no one will want to bring her into the final two with them. As it goes with pairings within the house, I feel that as long as Jeff is still there, she will be solid as he will probably go before her.


2nd Michelle (-)

Michelle has proven to be a tough competitor by winning the last two power of vetoes. She has had a couple minor incidents with certain people within the house but it looks like one of them will be going this week, in Ronnie. The fact that she isn't really that close to one person in the house will help her later on in the upcoming weeks. I think that combinations like: Jeff/Jordan, Jessie/Natalie, and Kevin/Lydia will be targeted first.

1st Kevin (-)

Everyone is starting to be noticed within the house and everyone's name is getting dropped as a possible person to get rid of but Kevin's name has seemed to come up the least amount of times. He is still doing a great job of lying low but not so low that people are scared of what he is up to. Being tight with Lydia is still an asset to him because of the fact that the housemates would rather want to get rid of her than him at this moment.
