REALITY TV CIRCUS

Now that Ice has been eliminated and only six contestants remain in the hunt to win the $250,000 grand prize, some things have changed.

First, there are no alliances; there are only players in the game. That makes it interesting because now that Tailor Made is without his alliance, everyone seems to be gunning for him.

In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Tailor is the next to go. Saaphyri looks strong as ever and Angelique has stayed in the game longer than expected, drawing comparisons to Demi Moore’s cousin Destiney, who was in the original game last season.

But here’s a name who probably didn’t expect to hear: It. It has been, week in and week out, shrewd enough to stay in the competition by playing the game the way it’s supposed to be played, using his street smarts to keep friends in both alliances.

That strategy has allowed him to manipulate both alliances, and therefore the strongest people still competing.

If there were one other person who might be going home this week, it would be Prancer. She’s made too many enemies already and so they’re gunning for her too.
