Phenomenal POV challenge puts Sharon in danger...

How good was the veto competition on Big Brother? They got it right on that one, no question. Why aren’t all challenges as good as this one, particularly the normally boring Head of Household games? The veto game to predict how many pounds of lard, or balls were in a tube, and then play a poker style game was definitely the best this season, and it showed who was a good player, and who is terrible…

The reason James won is because he’s obviously the brightest one in the house. Joshuah and Sharon showed their cards too early, and they were toast from the get go. When it got down to Sheila and Ryan, they both proved too weak to be confident in their premonitions, so he preyed on their weaknesses. Kudos to James; he folded the first three turns and then switched strategies. And what is with guys named James winning a litany of POV competitions? In Janelle’s season, James won quite a few to stay in the house, and now Master James is destroying everyone this go round…

After James won, Sharon was put on the block, figuring she was totally safe and that Joshuah will be sent packing. Not so fast. It’s clear she is a far superior talent in the game, at least from a strategic standpoint, so the house would be a lot more intelligent to get rid of her. Then again, counting on intelligence from this crop of contestants is like counting on Julie Chen being a good host…
