Well, as much as I hate Mike Boogie, there are a few problems here:

First of all, as many others have stated in this thread, the whole game is pretty much based on "psychological threats" anyway.

People in the house aren't privy to the fact that Boogie holds it, although that is popular belief among the HGs. Therefore what you've perceived as a "threat" is actually taken as an attempt by Boogie to make George think he holds the power.

If none of us knew who had it, Boogie's statements to George would have had the same effect as if Janelle or Howie had said the same thing.

And as for "Boogie isn't allowed to talk about the Coup", that statement is inaccurate as well. He's just not allowed to say that he has it or what it is. He can still mention the power just as anyone else in the house could. Wouldn't it be a bit odd if someone else brought it up to him and he said "actually BB said I'm not allowed to talk about it"? You're wrong there too.

With all that said, I didn't like the way Boogie went about saying it, but then again...being brutally honest does have a different effect than trying to soften up what you're saying. I can't think of another way Boogie should've gone about bringing up the CdE, but that's just me.

Oy vey.
