The Great Pyramid of Brian

[Alina Wilson]

Eh, I didnt see anything very CP out of Robb but I guess it works

[Alina Wilson]

Also I just realized you have no mixed colors

[Host Brian]

Yeah :/

[Host Brian]

Here we are, Round 2. We had a lot less confessionals, so some people's ratings are inflated in comparison.

Robb is CPN4 for pretending to be drunk to be a jackass, but displaying awareness on the constant challenge winners being larger targets. The 4 is mostly due to inflation.
Chelsea's CP3 comes from her chart of challenge winners, because it's impressive to find out the average on which players are the strongest. Her alliance with Spencer/Tasha which was described again also helps.
Adam/Silas are both OTTN for throwing shade at people in confessionals.
Colton's OTTN2 is solely from SPV, because of his creepy interactions with others and trying to blindside Siska.
Dolly gets an OTTP for her sheep confessional, confessional insecurities on who is allowed to view them, and being nice.
Dan is OTT2 because, well, he was over-the-top and only covered Colton.
Crystal/Cirie/Marcus/Tasha all gave us minimal insight, but wrote enough to get elevated from UTR.
Kathy is MORP4 for her struggles in an alias game and her dedication to the challenge. 
Josh/Jaclyn/Erinn/Tina all are UTR1 for no confessionals/minimal confessionals/minimal SPV.
Spencer is UTRP1 due to positive mention from others (Chelsea, Dolly).
Tyler is INV1. Nobody mentioned him, no confessionals, nothing. 

Contenders
1. Dan gets the number one spot again for playing second fiddle for Silas, and being able to make genuine connections as well. Silas took a hit due to negativity from other people in the cast and being high up on their boot lists.
2. Robb might be a little high, but he has self-awareness and isn't falling prey to the twist. He understands losing challenges has it's benefits, and he's made some good connections.
3. Tasha earns a spot here for her involvement in the Black Widow Brigade and her alliance with Chelsea/Spencer. She's in a great spot, and messaged me saying she was bummed the cast didn't target a different player because Tina self-voting would mean she'd get removed. She understands how the game is played, and knew causing trouble in Round 2 is a bad idea. She looks like a mainstay on the contender page.
4. Spencer now has an alliance with Dolly among his others with Erinn, Jax, Chelsea/Tasha. He seems to be doing a good job, IF ONLY HE WOULD CONFESS.

[Alina Wilson]

I think Tyler has the winners edit

[Host Brian]

Another round, another updated edgic. Let's go.
Kathy gets a CPP3 for committing fully to the game and trying her hardest in every challenge so far, informing us this round she tried 40+ last round. Her "game ethic" is impressive, and she was able to explain (wayyyy better than Chelsea) about the HII Clue rumor going around for people in first place. Her positive edit continues, and she earned this CP.
Dolly/Cirie each earn one for breaking down the round and their viewpoints better than anyone else. Pretty simple.
Dan/Josh both had over-the-top confessionals with pretty good context.
Jaclyn has ridiculous, unexplained confessionals with no context.
Colton earns another OTTN due to SPV from others. His refusal to talk to the women and the continued creepy behavior earned it for him.
Adam earns an OTTNN3 for lots of negativity in his confessionals, negative SPV from others, constant whining/complaining, and telling Jeremy and I to go get AIDS. 
Silas has similar reasons to Adam, minus telling Jeremy and I to go get AIDS and less complaining/whining. (Still annoying but not like, Adam-levels of annoyance.)
Chelsea/Crystal earn MOR for not really going in-depth in different things, and giving us moderate insight.
Robb earns a MORN for negative SPV and minimal confessionals. 
Tasha/Spencer/Erinn all get UTR for no confessionals but some SPV/relevance in this round. 
Marcus gets an UTR2 for a confessional with pretty much no insight. Very plain, very boring, very minimal, but enough to bump him up to a 2 instead of a 1.
Sierra is...well, Sierra, and gets an UTRN1 for that. 
Tyler gets his second INV1 on his way to winning the season, because he had minimal to non-existent SPV. 

Contenders

1. Dan. For three rounds in a row, Dan is in the number one spot. Very well-liked, but not an obvious threat, he has great connections and is in "The Allies" with Robb, Silas, and Dolly. Retains his self-awareness. His past 2 rounds have been more about Colton, so hopefully Colton leaving will increase the quality of his confessionals.
2. Dolly. Dolly has a deal with Spencer and is kind of in with the Spencer/Tasha/Chelsea crowd, and now has an official alliance with Dan/Silas/Robb. The only reason Dolly doesn't take the number one spot is due to her establishing herself as a threat in challenges, which could be bad in the long run.
3. Spencer. Spencer moves up because of his connections and alliances, and that Chelsea's immediate plan when she gets online is to confer with Spencer. He's very popular, and moves up because of his bonds and the negativity surrounding Robb.
4. Robb. Robb sinks due to his negative SPV from others, especially Crystal. He still maintains good enough bonds, but he knows to lay low when he needs to. His only concern should be Crystal/Cirie, because those two have him on their hitlist. Tribal stage could be a nightmare for him for that reason alone, so odds are Robb might be falling off the list.

Tasha fell off because she's considered a threat, and because the Black Widow Alliance doesn't actually exist with her in it...yet. If she joins up with Cirie/Crystal, then she'll be back on the contender list most likely.

[Host Brian]

And here we are, Round 4.

Dolly was a huge force this round, documenting her views on the game in-depth, with a lot of words to boot. ++CP5
Cirie was MOR4 until her last-minute confessional put her over the top to earn her a CP, and I'm feeling generous tonight.
Robb continues to display some game sense and self-awareness which is then muddied because other people aren't crediting him as much, and he's getting at least one N SPV per round. CPN4, again.
Crystal would have just been CP, but she had a very sweet post-TC confessional about Colton, so she gets a P this round. (Also Colton was given an M for his exit now instead)
Marcus/Kathy/Erinn/Josh all receive MORs with varying visibility. Kind of obvious.
Chelsea gets an OTT5 for tons of writing this round, but there wasn't enough of any tone to really justify giving her one. It'll stay toneless for now, unless someone disagrees and gives me some good reasoning to change it.
Jaclyn gets an OTT2 for her 2nd real round of being an ironic fan fave goddess. Jax City, bitch.
Tyler/Spencer/Sierra all received little to no SPV/wrote pretty much nothing/their writing had no real relevance.
Tasha/Silas/Dan all get UTRN1 for no real confessionals and being 3 of the 4 people to trash Colton in the main chat after he left. (Adam being the 4th. Is anyone surprised?)
Adam gets an UTRN2 from N SPV and then being negative. I have a feeling this will be a recurring theme.

Contenders

1. Crystal. CC has been snubbed a lot in terms of the Edgic and contenders because there are always a few doing better than her, but she'll finally make her CP debut and contender debut in the same round, and with style. Her confessional about Colton was awesome, and she was able to move the target off of Marcus' back. Only time (and some confessionals) will tell if they think she did it or Robb did it. 
2. Dolly. Dolly's social game is fucking brilliant, because she wasn't grouped in with challenge whores Erinn/Kathy by many. She's made a lot of good relationships, and that's gonna keep her afloat in this game. She just needs to turn some of those friendships into alliances.
3. Dan. Dan falls a bit due to the unclassy trashing of Colton, and hasn't really done much. Other people's stock is rising, and his is staying stagnant. I think he's still in a good spot right now, and doing nothing is often better than doing something. Only time will tell.
4. Robb. Robb's negative SPV continues to be a thorn in his side, and I don't think he'll receive credit for taking out Josh. However, that'll keep a target off of his back for now. Going into tribes, he should be just fine.

Spencer took a big hit and is off this time because his closest ally Chelsea is worried about him. Or, maybe they aren't that close to him. Maybe if he would write a CONFESSIONAL we'd know.

New DHAP.

[Host Brian]

Round Five.
Crystal gets a CPP4 because she's pretty fucking rad and likable, and she's been very nice while also being a great narrator. The past two rounds she's really coming in to her own. Her confessional on Dan was my second favorite of the season, the first being her confessional about Colton.
Dolly gets a CP3 for continuing her trend of CPness, but she almost was MOR this round. I feel like personal bias and her history of CP played a part.
Spencer gets a CP3, even though he felt more OTT. It's a way of rewarding his writing because we finally get to see what he's thinking this round.
Robb returns in full force with a CPN4 , and it does in fact seem like he was the one who got Josh out. Smug? Arrogant? Fun to hate? What a beautiful shade of purple.
Chelsea is so over the top it's insane. We have her screwing up, in her telling of it, but she still gets some mixed SPV from people which is fun to see. It feels like her biggest enemy is herself, and it's pretty damn great.
Silas is Silas. Doesn't feel right without an OTTN in his bar.
Adam got a last-minute confessional in mixed with more bitching and moaning on the whole. OTTN2.
Tyler gets bumped up to OTTN2 for the NSPV and not getting that he wasn't social. Purple Tyler is delusional, and this is the best send-off possible.
Kathy/Cirie both were pretty straightforward and toneless, even though my personal love of Kathy made me want to give her an OTTP. Kass talked me down from my insanity.
Erinn/Jaclyn/Tasha all UTR, kind of obvious.
Sierra got an N from some NSPV and whining about Erinn being on her tribe.
Dan gets an UTRP1 from CC's heartwarming confessional about him.

Contenders


1. Crystal. Okay, she completely got Dan on her side, and she doesn't have the target from the Josh vote on her. Social game is A++, CC and her 4Bs are going places.
2. Dolly gets the number two spot because I couldn't bring myself to include Cirie on the last after her public feud with a host (trashy af). Dolly is a great social player who is still pretty UTR, due to other people being OTT.
3. Robb has his friends in the right places. While some people don't like him, it doesn't matter, because he's in a great spot. Robb is a powerhouse that is going places, and while he could get taken out in the "Big Threat to Win Spot" (Brian/PG 7th Place Memorial), he has rounds to prove me otherwise.
4. Spencer confessed and is cool with Chelsea again, so he gets to sit on the contender's list with the big kids. I think he's overplaying and will fall off soon, but if he is able to keep his web of deals in check, Spencer is going deeeeeeep.

Dan takes a hit due to him being separated from most of his allies, trusting Crystal too much after one convo, and not confessing. Seriously, it's hard to gauge someone's game when they aren't writing.

[Host Brian]

Okay, so this all got deleted when my browser crashed. Let's try this again.



Round 6. Lesgo.

Crystal gets a CPN5 for her somewhat unwarranted distrust of Dan. She went from a positive queen to a negative goddess, and as long as she keeps her confessionals up and makes the merge, she's most likely getting AS.
Robb continues his CPN spree, earning a CPN3 this round and 5th overall CPN this season. He's a fun arrogant villain to root against, and hopefully he keeps it up.
Dolly has a CP4, her 5th CP for the season. She's like Alina before she went insane, in that her confessionals are always fun to read and she's fun to watch. If she makes the merge, AS for the Shepherdess. 
Cirie has our resident Gamebot Winner's Edit, while not being too gamebotty. She got a CP4, her fourth CP of the game. I excused her fight with Jeremy last time, and her insulting Tasha by not being "black" enough almost earned her an N, but I let it slide. 
Silas toned it down to have a nice MORN3 round with one really fun confessional. I like that a lot more for him, he should keep his whole act right where it is, because it's great at a MORN spot.
Marcus also gets a MORN3 for the constant cussing and insulting his tribe once or twice. Not much too there.
Kathy/Dan/Chelsea all get MOR2/MOR3 for minimal writing, not too much insight.
Sierra gets a OTTM4 for being fucking hilarious this round, I cannot just slap an N on that. She's great, I love her.
Adam continues the wrong way to be OTTN, earning his 4th of the season. Just like Silas and Robb, he's gotten an N every single round.
Spencer/Erinn/Jaclyn all wrote pretty much nothing/wrote a little and had some SPV. UTR1/2 suits them.
Tasha gets an UTRN1 for a surprisingly large amount of NSPV.

Contenders
1. Cirie. After a round or two where I felt like she should be on the Contender's List but decided not too, she earned it and gets the number one spot. With CC leading Team4Bs and Silas leading Team Douchenozzle, Cirie is right in the middle and it's the perfect place to be. She isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
2. Robb. Robb is essentially the second fiddle in the Douchenozzles, and won't have the huge target on his back. He has self-awareness through the roof, and will be a huge threat to go deep in the game, so long as he doesn't get blindsided at 9/7/5.
3. Dolly. Dolly is a strong social player who has a lot of deals, but they aren't forced deals like Erinn or Spencer. They come about naturally. Dolly looked to be a possible target at TC, but she talked to the right people and won't be going anywhere. Odds are she goes deep into the game, and has a strong chance of winning so long as she isn't cut right before the FTC.
4. Spencer. He's the only full-blown member of the 4Bs that I'm giving a spot here because he's not nearly as active/threatening as say, Chelsea or CC. His forced deals are a bit alarming, but as long as he keeps his head down, he could play a good UTR game.

Crystal lost her spot because the Dan vote drew a line in the sand, and she made a blunder with it. Kathy/Sierra are both alienated, and Erinn is also worried as well. She's like a Josh/Jeremy: a power player that's most likely gone right when the merge hits, because she's playing too hard.

[Host Brian]

DHAP is experiencing technical difficulties, should be up here soon.

This one is gonna be on Soundcloud, Podomatic is struggling.

[Host Brian]

Round 7.

Crystal gets a CP5 for her 4th round of great confessional writing. It had hints of an N tone, but not nearly enough to justify a CPN5.

Marcus gets a CP3 for good narration, and because I'm more lenient on handing out CP towards people who don't earn them often.

Kathy gets OTTP3 for being OTT and having to deal with Adam, who has convinced me Fred Phelps isn't actually dead.

Adam gets OTTNN3 for going full Adam. I honestly debated giving him the world's first OTTNNN3, but I decided I didn't want to be revolutionary this round. Seriously though, fuck Adam.

Spencer wrote a confessional similar to his CP3 one last time but my god, the overuse of smileys and the way he writes screams OTT. Deal with it.

Silas gets an OTTN3 for a godly (literally) confessional. Probably the best of the game so far.

Dolly gets a MORP3 this round, for being minimally nice. However, Adam's negativity turned a relatively nice Dolly confessional into Mother Teresa. Seriously, we need some happier people in this game.

Cirie almost got an OTTN this round, but has a MORN4. Her comments towards Tasha were super hypocritical, considering Cirie is also a white guy playing as a black girl. The difference is Tasha didn't try to act "black", she just was herself. Cirie tries too hard to come off like a stereotype when she writes.

Chelsea/Erinn had pretty MOR rounds...and...yeah.

Robb wrote nothing this round and received minimal SPV. It ended his beautiful N streak

Sierra gets an UTRP2 because Jeremy broke her heart and she doesn't deserve that. Seriously, shame on you.

Contenders


1. Cirie. While I might not be a big fan, she's going to flip to CC and give her the numbers. While she may get roasted for flipping, I think Cirie is in the driver's seat right now and will go deeeeeeep.

2. Dolly. Dolly is in the best spot out of any non-flipping Anubis members, because she has a lot of good relationships. She could slip through the cracks if the 4B alliance implodes, and will be the last Anubis member targeted. (Unless she shows off her immunity skills)

3. Crystal. Crystal was off the list a round ago, but she's recovered nicely. Erinn/Adam are back to working with her, Jaclyn and Cirie are flipping, and the first merge boot goes to the pre-jury. That likely means Silas doesn't make the jury, which is bittersweet. However, if he does get 12th, Silas will be returning for AS.

4. Robb. Eh. I'm keeping Robb in the 4th spot because I think he'll have the skills needed to get a voting bloc together when the 4Bs start turning on each other. While he's more threatening than Dolly, I think he can do something similar. 

Spencer is off the list because his activity has been non-existent recently. People won't vote for you to win if you suddenly vanish.

My post explaining everything was eaten, so I'm just gonna let it sit here and look pretty.
