fuck you and fuck your alliance

frankly i just like claire b/c i see a lot of myself in her personality (goofy, cerebral, loyal, well meaning) and how she processes information and has played in the game (both its strengths and weaknesses - i would probably also try to play as a more dominant player’s steve b/c i know my own nature enough to know that i couldn’t be that dominant player myself). in terms of gameplay there’s a strong case to be made that she strategized a lot of prejury with tiff who was the face of its execution (clocking and dismantling the slaughterhouse, using ky to create the royal flush during his hoh, recognizing the value of dx and taking him under their wing before anyone else in order to then take the shot at the biggest threat in the game - christian, recognizing azah and tiff’s strained relationship and working to slide in as azah’s connection to the tiff/claire/hannah/dx foursome). she lost control once jury hit but still worked to try and flip the vote in her best interest to keep britini. tried to keep her stronger ally dx by attempting to push for a hannah renom when she was on the block. many of the ways in which she wasn’t able to achieve much at this stage are because of the cookout and because she did not recognize her waning importance to tiff (who, mind you, still was the first person to ever win back to back hohs solely in the name of protecting her) and much of her downfall was due to her belief that tiff was her shield (and in any other season she would be). it’s hard to say how successful she could’ve been if the house dynamics weren’t so fixed this season due to factors outside of her control. i’d even argue that if she had used the coin of destiny to put up the three co men, hannah would’ve still won veto and had to come up with an excuse to take down big d or ky, and since claire wouldn’t put up azah, her renom would’ve still had to have been sb or alyssa, pissing off way more people for the same result. so both over and understating her contributions frankly seems inaccurate. i ultimately think she did a better than a worse job with the hand she was dealt. tiff and hannah are obviously the better players but claire’s game is, realistically, the closest to how my own would probably be. and that’s literally all i have to say about that.

i really do not understand tiffany’s drive to get claire out as soon as possible. everyone else in the cook out has been sticking their necks out to keep their outside duo safe, as they should, and she’s been trying to get hers evicted and i don’t get it.

so let me get this straight……… cliff voted tommy…..  meaning tommy goes anyway because even if nicole voted for holly, jackson would just send tommy out……… so instead of unanimously sending tommy out, people are mad bc they wanted nicole to…… attempt to vote holly and further damage this f4 relationship (which is already pretty bad as is)?
