So who are we hoping is coming back???
Sidenote: Do people just disregard the whole "Do not discuss the challenge with other players" thing?
Personally id like to see Bader and Brant come back at this point in the game, they seem to be the most invested and the most likely to go against the Angel Army

And since Badger got all 73 I don't see how he wont be back whereas Brant only got a 44 which isn't too bad but I kinda expect Kristen to do a little better than that though

I figured Amy must have gotten that blue pic from a Ashes player that shes been posting. It seemed unlikely that she just randomly started posting that pic during this challenge every few minutes

Marcia the moose gave them another task, and Amy was just following that. (Click on Marcia in their dr questions)

Long overdue assessment of the remaining cast...
Let me just start by saying that I LOVE this final 9. I think that the return of Tom and Badger evened things out a bit, which should, and hopefully does, make for an awesome jury phase of the game. But anyways, here are my thoughts on the remaining players!
Amy - She is now the only person with a special veto since Hal used his last week and Brant/Kristen were eliminated with theirs. I think this is HUGE for her. Also, it seems Amy is rising on everyone's likability scale, which is awesome. I feel like she's finally hitting her groove as a player. Do I think she has the best game? Not quite, but I think she's made tremendous improvements. Her biggest downfall now is that she's relying on James (though perhaps he does view her as his number 1?). I think that, as long as she doesn't make any stupid moves, she has the ability to get to the final 6 at least (since she has the silver PoV), and even make it to the final 4 if she plays her cards right. Excited to see if she can make a long push to the end!
Badger - FUCK YES. Badger showed everyone that he's not just someone who will roll over and die. Going for a perfect 6 hours in the endurance was awesome. Now, if he can just use that drive to take some control in the house. Badger is a nice guy, and he's proved through the info he revealed in his DR that he's smart too. I just wish he would win a competition and take the game by storm. Either way, I like him, and think he will probably go back into his UTRP role, which, let's face it, will get him far, but likely won't get him the win. Who knows. He sure surprised me, so maybe he can surprise everyone and pull out something awesome!
Brittany - Queen B herself. She has it all, really. The physical game, the social game, and the strategy. Not to mention, she's been fun to watch. I'm worried about her safety in the upcoming rounds, and without being able to compete in HoH this week she could easily be a target. But the girl has fight, so I'm not counting her out yet. I REALLY want her to make all-starz, if not for the main reason that I think she's the best contender for the newbs to have a chance (not that Jiggle can't, but more on him next). I like Brittany a lot, and hope to see her go through some entertaining ups and downs as the weeks progress.
Jiggle - Jiggle's a good guy. I still think he hasn't quite risen to his full potential, but he better start soon. Definitely has the mind of a strategist, not so sure his social and physical games are quite up to that same level, but a possible contender nonetheless. I'm very intrigued to see how he fares from this point on, but I'm rooting for him as well. Currently, he's one of the "more forgettable" players, but I still haven't counted him out of All-Starz. Spotlight's on you, Jiggle. Time to show us what you've really got!
Hal - Hal has been one of my favorites to watch. Yes, he's been a roller-coaster of ups and downs, with multiple wins, multiple nominations, and the epic DPOV fail. Perhaps it wasn't quite as epic as everyone seemed to make it, but I do think it was a mistake. If Badger was his closest ally, he had to realize this wasn't going to work in his favor. With all that aside though, I think he's played a memorable game, and if he can manage to skate past the haters to the end, I don't think that his "questionable" moves should prevent him from winning since he "took risks" and even saved himself with his physical strength. Nice guy, so he deserves some redemption to prove to everyone that he's capable of taking this thing to the end. Go Hal!
Hilarie - I was not expecting a UTR game from her, but perhaps I was so used to seeing her get dealt hand after hand of shit last season. This season, she's managed to avoid most people's radar, despite being super likable. With the return of Badger and Tom, I think Hilarie is easily one of the most dangerous players now. I know that she CAN win comp, despite not showing us that yet. We will see, but I'm almost certain she will get pretty far, assuming that the wrong person doesn't win HoH at the wrong time. Love her though, and wanna see her in AS as well.
James - Yes, he's cocky. Yes, he's sometimes a douche. Yes, he's playing almost everyone in the game. But hey, he's doing well at it. I am definitely worried for his safety, but if he's as good as he's shown, he will find a way out. Better win some comps though, because a social game can only go so far when everyone recognizes that you're one of the biggest threats around. With all that said, he's undoubtedly been the person who ruled the first half of the game. Can he make the sweep to the end? ((I'm not rooting for James, but I like him as a player and person. I never tend to root for the top dogs though, right Levine?  ))
Tom - Ok, so Tom was my pick from Day 1. Love the guy who plays him, and really wanted to see him step it up and go hard. However, that never really happenJiggle. So, I am SUPER stoked that he returned, but I'm putting a lot of pressure on him (not actually, but just as a supporter I am expecting a lot from him now). He's definitely capable, and I know he wants to come in and take the game by storm. But will he? He's probably the least likely to make AS at this point (judging on performance up to this point), but I really want him to change my mind. Would love to see Tom and James go toe-to-toe, since I know there is already some bad blood there from earlier when Tom was evictJiggle. Come on, Tom! STEP IT UP BUDDY!
Zooey - I'd say she's easily the quirkiest, spunkiest, most energetic of the remaining houseguests. She does talk a big talk, especially when it comes to taking out James, but we haven't see much action. I do think she's made some solid moves, won some key comps to keep her safe, and shown that she has a legit social game. But I still feel something is missing... can't pinpoint it thought. But at the end of the day, I love Zooey as a player, and think she provides an interesting spin on the game with her DRs and everything else she brings. I feel like she's going to finish somewhere around 5th or 6th though... idk.
Whew... so that is all. Honestly, I really like these 9, so I can't say I'm definitely rooting for anybody in particular to win. There are some I might wish to go a little farther than others, but there aren't any who I absolutely want to see leave at this point either. As the game goes though, I'm sure that will change. For now, that's what Penn thinks!

I actually agree. I love how the Ashes turned out and I love who left in the game at this point. Things seem pretty even. This game has now mmoved from a BBAllStars type game to a BB10, very split at final 9

I like this HoH at this point in time. I really think it will come down to a tiebreaker and Im already shocked at some peoples TB answers. I mean every round HAS to earn at least 5 points (possibly 4 since Brittany cant earn them I guess) and there are 10 questions then logically your Tiebreaker should be 50 or above. Plus with only 2 options per question, the chances of a tie in the end are pretty high. So with all that, we can pretty much count Zooey and Amy out of the running. I think Jiggle's guess of 70 is the most logical answer.

Meh @ Tom coming back because he and Jiggle know eachother. Though, Jiggle did backstab him in a game so it's not concrete they'd trust eachother.
I am thrilled Badger won HOH. We might expect Brittany and James nominations, which would be HUGE. One of them leaving is just what he needs to do. I can see James not going up, and nominations Jiggle/Brittany - but we'll see. Brittany is likely going up and that is his best bet.

Yeah I think itll be James and Brittany and Zooey will prolly go up if one of them comes off. Im really excited about this week and Badgers story arc though I would prefer Zooey or James go over Brittany just because I think she is the most deserving player to stay in the game.

Neither Hal, Brad, Tom or James will win. Mark my words :x
(unless of course the final 2 is a combo of two...)
Nobody respects Hal's game
James is too big of a threat that he won't make it there. (His own alliance contemplated sending him out if he went up last round)
Brad has been too UTR, to which it's impossible to impress a Jury over.
Tom who?

So as Ive been getting my pedicure Ive been surfing the board. Badger winning hoh and coming back from the ashes is awesome. Im so excited for him. I cant wait his nominations. I know there going to be epic and its going to helpful game changing. If James goes home this round Badger will have hands down took the biggest threat out. Im also happy that is safe. I hope she does something big soon.
I also hope Tom steps it up since he came back. Amy turning down that f2 with Tom wasnt a smart move either.
On a sidenote sad Kristen boo left. I love her

I know I honestly cant imagine Amy telling Tom no to a final 2 alliance. Her honesty is great but that's just not ok haha
Another note, Jiggle and Zooeys arrogance makes me laugh a majority of the time (Jiggle is a really nice person btw on a personal level) but Eds comments about winning Veto and Badger will cave to what he wants and flip side the even more hilarious part is Zooey thinking SHE got James nominated to split up Amy/James and that shes the badass double agent is just insane, shes delusional. I mean if one of them comes off, shes the one whos going up as the replacement. Jiggle and Hilarie are the good UTR players here, Zooey is not in any way, shape or form
