Big Brother Over the Top: Power Rankings

It's Fall which means it's time for Big Brother! Wait...that doesn't sound right...In our first ever Fall edition, we are getting a new version of the classic game. Or so we think. We don't really know. Like what is a safety ceremony? And how many people passed on playing before Jason and Jozea were selected? Nevertheless, here are my power rankings for the first twelve houseguests. We don't know much about the game play so this is an order of likeability and who I want to watch go OTT!

#1) Alex Willett

Age: 25

Hometown: Grandbury, TX

Current City: Dallas, TX

Quick Take: Girl is ready to play! But her downfall will be her sister.

#2) Danielle Lickey

Hometown: Visalia, CA

Current City: Visalia, CA

Quick Take: I like her! She's got insight to the game and she seems like she's got fire in her eyes.

#3) Neeley Jackson

Age: 33

Hometown: Fort Worth, TX

Quick Take: The not as knowledgeable sister but still cute

#7) Kryssie Ridolfi

Age: 31

Hometown: Chicago, IL

Current City: Schaumburg, IL

Quick Take: She is a lot to handle. I don't think I can handle her for more than a week. But I've eaten my words before.

#8) Shelby Stockton

Age: 24

Hometown: Fountain Hills, AZ

Current City: Simi Valley, CA

#9) Justin Duncan

#10) Michael "Cornbread" Ligon

Quick Take: Cornbread. His name is Cornbread.

#11) Scott Dennis

Age: 24

#12) Whitney Hogg

Age: 21

Hometown: Whitesburg, KY

Current City: Whitesburg, KY

Occupation: Medical Assistant

Quick Take: SHE TALKS SO SLOW! Whitney has no redeeming qualities about her. Please go away.

Survivor Millennials vs Gen X Power Rankings: Episode 2

We had a Survivor first and a new twist introduced in the first episode of Survivor Millennials vs Gen-X. While it wasn't the most engaging and exciting episode, there were still some great moments and fabulous downfalls. So after the cyclone, how do the power rankings shake up? And who's in danger? Make sure to listen to the Digging Deep podcast TOMORROW for more insight to episode 2!

#1) Mari Takahashi (1)

Winners edit?! She certainly has a case! Mari is the co-alpha of the group and no one even knows it. She found herself in the numbers by allowing Hannah to come to her with an idea she already had. Mari is sitting pretty.

#2) Zeke Smith (3)

Zeke had a breakout episode by making the fire and just being overall entertaining. He also has claim to the co-alpha title and found himself getting a winner's edit. While we didn't see him claim an alliance, he has power still.

#3) Chris Hammons (4)

While Ken took the lead on the shelter, it was Chris who managed to control Mr. Paranoid. Chris is starting the game with a strong head on his shoulders by maintaining power while still having control on individuals. He is in the numbers so he should be safe.

#4) Jessica Lewis (20)

Boy was I wrong! Jessica Lewis is in control! And she has a Legacy Advantage! I'm still convinced this advantage is going to be bigger than people are anticipating. I truly believe whoever has this power will be granted a spot in the finals. Jessica's game will be determined how she plays this thing. Keeping it a secret is essential. But the second the secret is revealed, she has to barter with it or she's gone.

#5) Hannah Shapiro (9)

Do not underestimate this girl's social game. She has it. Looks are certainly deceiving. She masterminded the Freaks and Geeks alliance and was able to have a cute interaction with Michelle. Hannah's game will all be based on performance.

#6) Michaela Bradshaw (8)

Michaela was relatively silent in the first episode, with the exception with the GED line. I thought she would be a motor mouth but she is playing it cool, which is a good thing. Keep this up and she'll be coasting her way further.

#7) Adam Klein (15)

Adam has a loveable charm about him. He already has a rapport with Probst. He is eager to play. Another one who we didn't outwardly see form alliance, we need to see him be more than a narrator.

#8) Bret LaBelle (19)

BRET IS GAY! And we didn't even learn it on the episode. Everything you thought you knew about Bret is wrong. I was wrong. Bret is cool. But how he handles David from this point forward will be a key into how he handles obstacles in human form.

#9) Ken McNickle (14)

Ken had two BIG moments this episode. First, taking the lead on the shelter. Second, his bulge. Yes, when he was up on the hill in his tight briefs, that's all you saw. Ken is the eyecandy the Gen Xers need.

#10) Figgy Figueroa (5)

Figgy, along with the rest of Triforce, put herself in a bad spot. She's setting herself up for a showmance. And that is an instant target in this game.

#11) Jay Starrett (6)

We saw a glimpse of the bad idea bears visiting Jay as he's voiced his opinion on showmances. But is he really going to cut his bro Taylor? Who is he gonna tell he's hot to in the morning?

#12) Paul Wachter (10)

All signs point to Paul being the one getting medical attention. I don't think he's being pulled but it will put a target on his back. The uncertainty to perform will weigh greatly on him.

#13) Will Wahl (12)

I firmly believe revealing his age was a bad move. But at least he did it openly.

#14) Sunday Burquest (16)

Sunday may be in the majority but we really haven't seen her perform. With an easy target like Rachel gone, Sunday's performance stock dips. She's lucky to have the numbers.

#15) Lucy Huang (7)

Lucy was virtually mute this episode. And that's not good at all.

#16) Taylor Stocker (11)

Tayls is wearing love goggles. And that is why he is in serious danger. He must prove that he is an asset or the numbers will haunt him.

#17) Michelle Schubert (18)

Not nearly as annoying as expected, Michelle has found herself in a bad spot. She's not a named member of Triforce but she is perceived to be a part of them. If Taylor, Figgy, and Jay are smart, they will throw her under the bus.

#18) David Wright (2)

The truth of this post is that is it all about Power Rankings. David may be a great character to watch, he is in great danger. He is paranoid and no one wants that around on Gen X.

#19) CeCe Taylor (17)

It's still very curious as to why CeCe was lumped in with Rachel to receive the votes she did. Nevertheless, she is in danger simply by association.
