Emotional Chops

"This is game is for certain kinds of people, and I thought I was one of those people, but I'm not emotionally cut out for it."

-Alec Beall, April 7, 2013



Alec, sensing his imminent departure, imparted the sum total of his game wisdom to Pete in the bedroom tonight, as the entire internet screamed in dismay.

Among Alec's many contentions tonight:

-Andrew and Talla will go after Emmett and Jillian
-Peter should throw the next Head of Household
-Andrew might still want to work with Peter
-Peter shouldn't work with Topaz
-Topaz doesn't have anything valuable to say about the game
-Peter will beat almost anyone in a jury scenario
-Peter and Alec have played a superior game
-Alec has carried Topaz the whole way
-The Shield should be spelled "S-H-E-Y-L-D"

Peter didn't disagree with anything he said. Oh lord, these two boys are the worst at this game.

You can pretty much sum up everything Alec said about the game tonight with this clip, which was our friend Ash's response to tonight's strategic madness:



In my own agony, I may have started a hashtag on Twitter, #AlecOnPastBBSeasons. My theory? Alec had to post on some BB board somewhere, because he is a true superfan, even if he never heard of Jokers Updates. Therefore, the way to find his anonymous screenname would be to find the poster who was the most completely off-base and wrong about the game, and that would surely be our Emperor of Doom.

I don't see how Peter stands a chance now, unless he realizes he needs to do exactly the opposite of everything Alec just told him to do. Unfortunately, I think he has a bit of a blind spot for Alec, and Topaz may go down with their ship as well, inadvertently.

Speaking of Topaz: Alec was particularly butthurt tonight that she didn't spend his final night glued to his side. He never voiced it as far as I heard, not even to Peter, but he made it clear to her last weekend just how insecure he's been about their showmance all along. He clearly didn't appreciate her lack of interest in him tonight, as she ran around bonding with the girls and setting up her game for the end run.

Don't expect a rosy parting for them tomorrow. But Topaz is now slightly better positioned than Peter going into the Double Eviction, which is not a surprise, because she's been much more correct about the game than Alec pretty much the whole time.
