If the first 4 weeks are any indication, we shouldn't be surprised if the HOH makes another round of stupid nominations.I understand Danielle's desire to get rid of Janelle. It's a good move for a variety of reasons. Her current plan involves nominating Janelle and James, which might work out fine. Or it might blow up in her face.
By putting up James and Janelle, Dani's sending a clear signal that (1) she's anti-S6, and (2) James has jumped ship.
Janelle, Kaysar and Howie already know that James is working with Dani. They'll see through her ruse, and realize that James is simply a pawn. They also know that vetoing Janelle's nomination would only place Kaysar or Howie in the hot seat. The only option is to work the house for enough votes to evict James.
Plus, you can be sure that Howie will go BUSTO on Danielle for the rest of the week. Groan.
However, this master plan still hinges on Chilltown's trustworthiness to vote out Janelle. If Will and Boogie flip, James is history, and Danielle is screwed. Think about it. Danielle's plan relies on trusting the most manipulative, deceitful player in BB history. Am I the only one who sees this as a problem?
Instead, she ought to nominate Janelle and Will. She can tell everyone that she isn't choosing sides, but that it's time to stop dancing around the main issue: S6 vs Chilltown. It's time to get it on, and time to see which side the floaters will choose.
That's a pile of BS, of course, but it's reasonable enough to keep S6 off her back all week. They may even try to kiss up to her in hopes of winning her tie-breaking favor. Or, in the event that Janelle wins POV, they might try to cut a deal with Dani to remove a floater. Can you imagine Marcellas' reaction if Dani backdoors him?
In any case, nominating CT alongside S6 is a safer move for Danielle and for James. Dani can claim neutrality in the S6 vs Chilltown showdown, which could be crucial if her plan blows up. From James' point of view, it's clearly safer NOT being nominated (duh). Plus, it gives him the chance to get back in with S6, even if only for one week.
