In the continuing saga of Jason and the Ugh-onauts we saw his side once again rewarded by America when Kryssie won the first Care Package. This had Kryssie initially very happy then pulled in every direction by her allies. Danielle and Shane made the first run at Kryssie urging her to use the power to save a friend on one of them. A long, mind-numbing chat between them ensued in which I'm sure I lost a few thousand brain cells that committed suicide rather than endure listening to them. Justin sat in on that conversation long enough to hear Shane and Danielle talk about having offered a deal with Alex for safety and then wandered off in a huff.
Alex and company discussed the power and decided that since neither Jason nor Justin were her immediate targets it would make the most sense to try and guide Kryssie to using the power on one of them. The plan was hatched, thought through and agreed upon. Kryssie then came upstairs and after failing to convince Alex to put up one or two of her allies instead of any of the Ugh-onauts, Alex mentioned how some of her allies were really pressuring her to put up Jason, but she didn't want to put up Jason. Alex said it would really help her if Kryssie used the power on Jason so Alex would have an excuse not to put him up. Kryssie said it would likely come down to either Jason or Justin as they were the two she was closest to.
Justin is unhappy with Shane and Danielle for going behind the Ugh-onauts back to make a deal with Alex (which Alex refused knowing they couldn't be trusted) and wants them gone now. He knows he can't trust them after that and has decided they need to go. Shane and Danielle made another run at Kryssie to try and get her to keep one of them safe, but Kryssie is now pretty locked in on using it on Jason.
The Ugh-onauts now turned their attention to smearing Monte. After successfully turning the house on Cornbread for talking about "Jewing" someone down over a price and "gypping" someone, they now decided that Monte is a homophobic bigot, largely because in defending Whitney earlier in the game he described her as "an all American girl who just wants to find a nice guy, settle down, have kids and raise a family, and that's what made America great." He also said he preferred not to share a bed with a guy and would rather sleep with Morgan. Those two statements apparently make him a homophobic redneck in the eyes of the Ugh-onauts. To be honest, nearly every man in the world given a choice between sleeping with Morgan or Jason would choose Morgan. I'm not sure a very significant percentage of women wouldn't also agree. That doesn't make anyone homophobic, just sane.
The girls aren't buying what the Ugh-onauts are selling however and are staying true to Monte. Jason is going to try and single Whitney out from the herd and insist that she either split from Monte or it'll be proof that she's a bigot to try and get her vote. They worked Scott hard to get his vote and when he refused and stayed loyal to Alex they then called for America to nominate him and make him a Have Not.
Scott forgot all about America's vote in his calculations and is now worried about the numbers, but still seems committed to Alex. He told Shelby earlier not to pick a side and to try and stay in the middle but Shelby seems solidly on Alex's side now and largely dismissed Scott who wants to take Shelby to the final two with him. That's a smart strategic move on Scott's part as Shelby isn't terribly loved, but the odds of those two getting to the final two together are impossibly long.
This season has rapidly transitioned into a heroes versus villains BB 11 type season. On the one side you have the heroes, Alex, Whitney, Morgan, Shelby, Monte, Scott, who are playing a pretty clean game. On the other side the villains, Jason, Justin, Kryssie, Danielle, Shane, with Neeley somewhere in the middle but leaning towards the villains. The one side fights hard, plans everything out, wins comps, works together to go farther in the game by winning, but playing clean and not smearing their enemies. The Ugh-onauts side lays around, moans, begs America for safety, and tries to smear the other side with false allegations. The bad news is the villains' side has lots of online supporters keeping them afloat.
Today we find out who the Have Nots are. I've been voting for Danielle, Shane, and Kryssie. Ideally they'll get hungry enough as Have Nots to cannibalize one or more of them and we'll be down one villain. In all likelihood the Have Nots will be three from the hero side of the house however. Monte seems nearly certain to be America's Nominee on Monday. The POV comp is huge this week. Alex's side needs to win the POV to save Monte or Scott, whoever the Ugh-onauts convince their side to put up. (They've been pushing Scott to the viewers lately.) If Monte (who seems to be leading in the polls) is the nominee then we could still see Monte stay as Neeley likes Monte and Justin is upset with Danielle and Shane for going behind the Ugh-onauts' back to try and make a deal. Those two could both vote out one of Shane/Danielle unless some serious fence-mending takes place soon.
