Adam
I gave Adam MOR because he didn't make a lot of waves but was active enough to be memorable. He has some potential alliances, but also has some people he'd like to target. Nobody seems to be after him yet, but it seems the only people that trust him a lot are the friends he came into the game with.

Bradley
See above reasons for Adam. Bradley is there, but still sitting back. He is seeming to make a lot of decent social connections, but at the same time people seem to be somewhat skeptical of him. I forsee him getting caught in the middle of some social groups and having to make some decisions in the next round or two.

Britney
Britney obviously gained the trust of Noah, having him move her to the A-List, but with his exit, she might just be seen as one of the catty girls group. I think she's likable enough though, but I'm still keeping her at a neutral rank until we see how she's perceived in the future.

Christie
Christie got a Negative rank because a lot of the other players wanted to see her nominated this round. She's UTR because she didn't really do anything special this round. Taking her out of the equation wouldn't have really affected this round at all. Potential invisible player or frequent pawn. I hope she gets more interesting.

Dianna
I gave her a MORN ranking because she was very vocal about her being upset with her nomination. I wish she'd have done more to save herself. I feel like she was lucky this round with the way things ended up. She has a slight attitude that could easily make her an OTTN in the future.

Drew
Drew is MOR for the same reason most of the people are MOR this round. They sat back and let the Noah disappearance drama rule this round and they played it safe. Nothing against that, but MOR was just too prevalent this round for my liking. I see Drew going UTR later.

Johnny
Another MOR, though he was a very close UTR candidate in my opinion. The fact that he made a few strong ties with others is what kept him MOR. Publicly he was UTR, but in my eyes he ended up active enough to get the MOR when the dust settled.

Kate
While Kate was very negatively vocal in her DR concerning many of the other female houseguests, she played nice publicly which let her have a neutral ranking. I am curious to see how her lack of vote might affect the next round. I don't think it will if she plays it right.

Lindsay
While I was impressed how she didn't go absolutely crazy with her nomination since it seems that's in her character, the simple comments she made and her overuse of the 'like' and 'dislike' buttons made her slightly OTT in my opinion, and a lot of the other houseguests reactions to her gave her the negative spin. She's not entirely hated though, so I don't think she'll always be OTTN.

Mike
Mike played a MOR game like many of the other houseguests, but he was very liked and made a very good impression overall which gave him the P spin. I think he'll be one of the few that eventually transition into a CP rank, but with all the ties he's making, he might have to make a few enemies along the way since he's so liked now.

Nicki
I think Nicki surprised me the most. While OTTN wasn't a surprising rank for her in my opinion, I was more surprised of how she got here. I almost put a CP ranking on her, but then I realized that her actions are more on a whim and not exactly planned out. I think she's not as hated as most OTTN people are usually, but she got enough bad reactions from her vetoing Lindsay to earn the N. I think her rankings will probably always be OTT, but I feel she might fluctuate with her tone between P, neutral, and N.

Noah
This was a hard rank to do. I feel like he started out as our most CP eligible candidate and then switched to INV when he disappeared. I guess MOR was a happy medium. The N is because everyone ended up being upset with him in the end. I was surprised that they voted him out when they could have taken out Dianna and banked on Noah striking out himself. The fact that they did vote him out made the N that much more deserved.

Sandra
Sandra was another typical MOR player, but she is obviously choosing her actions/words carefully. I think she'll fluctuate between CP and UTR as well. I don't see her ever going OTT. I also see her having a Neutral tone the entire game. She's not going to be publicly emotional, neither positive or negative, to help avoid unwanted attention. Very level-headed in my opinion.

Sean
While I gave Sean a MOR ranking, I feel he played a different game than most of the other MOR players this round. Losing Noah definitely hurt him since he clicked well with Noah. And, I definitely see him gravitating toward the OTT ranking eventually. Voting against the crowd gave him a CP spin, but not enough to take him out of the MOR crowd.

Round 2 - Penn's Rankings

ADAM	CPN
BRADLEY	MORN
BRITNEY	OTT
CHRISTIE	INV
DIANNA	UTR
DREW	UTR
JOHNNY	CP
KATE	CP
LINDSAY	MORP
MIKE	CP
NICKI	MOR
SANDRA	UTRN
SEAN	OTTN

Adam
Adam is a CP because I believe he was the first one to suggest that Mike should be backdoored. He used his influence over Bradley and was ballsy enough to approach many of the others to see if they were on board. The reason he got his Negative ton is because many of the other players were NOT on board, and this caused them to lose some faith/trust in Adam, it seems. In the end though, I think this was the first big move of the game, despite it's lack of fruition. I still give Adam props for trying!

Bradley
I think that Bradley had an unsuccessful week for being HoH. Having this power is the time to step up and get some CP rankings, which, in my opinion, you can't win without being a CP sometimes. However, Bradley went the MOR route by trying to appease the house. In the end, he only seemed to make more of them mad, including his supposed alliance, mainly Adam. That's why Bradley gets a Negative spin.

Britney
For being on the nomination seat pre-veto, Britney knew she needed to make herself known as a player, and that's exactly what she did. In my opinion, she was the perfect amount of OTT to make herself seem invested into the game without making herself appear to be an easy target. There didn't seem to be too many people who loved or hated her, which is why she didn't get a P or N. Overall I think she played this round exactly how she needed to.

Christie
If I even had Negative rankings for INV, I would have given her one. But the truth is, she was barely even active this round. What small activity she gave was completely negative, and I didn't even find her fitting into UTR or MOR. Maybe OTTN, but you have to be fairly active to get an OTT ranking in my opinion. Epic fail for her this round, which ultimately lead to her eviction.

Dianna
I'm still not impressed with Dianna. She slid way UTR for this round, but not in a good way if you ask me. Had all the drama not happened this round, I think she could have been an easy target to leave. Sadly, I think a lot of people are forgetting about her, which means she might slide a few more rounds playing the same boring game she has been so far. Sorry to say, I'm not impressed.

Drew
Go back and ready what I wrote in the very last sentence for Drew last week. Bingo! I was spot on. He slid just as far UTR as Dianna, making for another slightly boring player. Though, he's doing it with a little less attitude. Neither he or Dianna gave me enough to paint them in a positive or negative light, however, which is why they both got a Neutral ranking.

Johnny
I think Johnny was another one who played this round exactly like they needed to. He was torn in the middle of the whole Mike's backdoor debacle, and I think he covered his tracks very well to make sure that neither "side" realized he was kind of playing both of them. In the end, I do think he's truly torn though, having a strong connection with both Mike and Adam. Will be interesting. I gave him a Neutral ranking because he didn't really draw any overt Positive or Negative attention this round.

Kate
Kate got a CP ranking simply because she was a crucial element in the whole backdoor option plan. Now, whether it's true or not, she apparently had a backdoor plan in mind even before she won PoV, though this was only the news from a viewer, and never mentioned by Kate herself. Either way, she still got her hands dirty in pairing with Adam/Bradley to take Britney off the block, setting the stage for a possible backdoor. I think that her overall CP rank wasn't a strong CP and slightly MOR, but in the end I think she's transitioning into a role where she'll start making bigger moves. Neutral because I think her negatives and positives balanced out this round.

Lindsay
What a transformation. Her going on the block was a HUGE surprise for me, and kind of a WTF moment, but she stuck around, which helped me to see that she's seen in a much more positive light. Also, her performance in the Paparazzi challenge earned her some major props from fellow houseguests. Though, she's setting herself up to be a target for her sheer challenge ability and motivation to win. In the end, she didn't make any big moves though, giving her a MOR rank with the Positive spin for the very obvious swing from the Negative tone she had last round. The most surprising rank, in my opinion, this week.

Mike
Mike had a very interesting week. I think that he's easily becoming the biggest threat in the game, and quite clearly, it's getting harder for him to hide that, hence the idea to have him backdoored that came about this round. Also, this round saw him getting more power by unlocking a chest and getting a key that others don't even have access to yet. The main reason Mike got CP was not because he made big moves, but because he managed to "put out the fire" of his possible backdoor without needing to use his power. The main reason he did this was because of his strong social connections. He loses his Positive spin, however, because people are seeing him as a threat and starting to toy with the idea of wanting him out sooner rather than later. I think he played this round very well, given his situation, but also I think his eyes were opened to how difficult a road he's going to have since he's an obvious threat.

Nicki
A somewhat surprising turn of events for Nicki this week. She seemed to be an early possibility for another OTT rank with her apparent tiff with Bradley, but as the round progressed, she started to quiet down a bit. I think she's realizing that she's not in a bad position if she just sits quiet for a bit. Not necessarily that she's floating, but that she's already established herself in the house enough to wait until she has the power to make her moves. She was very close to another Negative ranking just because of the amount of "fights" she gets in, but she has a way of smoothing them over that prevented me from going completely N on her this round. It appears that, overall, she's capable of playing all the styles of rankings, so we might see her bounce around a lot each round.

Sandra
Sandra is becoming one of my favorite players, but she's starting to concern me. The main reason for this is because many people are perceiving her as a weak player. Which, seems like a good thing, right? Isn't that her plan? Yes, it is, but when the other "inactives" or UTR players think that she's the one who's weak, inactive, and UTR, maybe she's going a bit far? She could easily be a target now that she's at the bottom of the List, and if she doesn't get a win she needs to save herself, I could see her leaving for the same reason Christie left... perceived inactivity. However, I think her social game is stronger than what many people realize, so I have faith that she'll stick around if she plays her cards right. I just think that she needs to step it up a tiny bit before people step all over her. The only reason she gets a Negative is because that's how people perceive her. I think her actual game play is very planned though.

Sean
Finally, Sean. He got an OTT ranking simply because he was not afraid to call Nicki out in public, and his DR was full of OTT entries. And, while I gave him a Negative tone, I struggled with this because he's very close to being Neutral in my opinion. He's made some very strong connections socially, but in the end, I don't think he's afraid to be an abrasive player. The negative tone is not as bad as it sounds, especially in his case. I just think that he'll be going back and forth between OTTN, OTT, and OTTP for most of his duration in the game in the future simply because of his personality.

Note: I ranked you right after Round 3 ended, but I never got around to the explanations till Round 5. So... they might be a little weak/inaccurate.

Adam
Adam is a CP this round because of his influence to try to get Mike backdoored, and his PoV win was a crucial step in that happening.

Bradley
I feel like Bradley was definitely just a follower this round. Though, he's still a key player in that he's associated with Adam, even if Adam has been mentioning plans to get rid of Bradley and distancing himself from Bradley.

Britney
Britney is playing everyone pretty well and managed to lay low this round.

Dianna
Dianna went kind of invisible this round. I'm still not impressed with her. She should be an evictee soon.

Drew
This kid is like not quite invisible, but I've yet to see him really make a good game move. Another one that could see the pre-jury if they don't step it up, or slide far while people go after targets.

Johnny
Johnny was in a tough spot this round. While he's been playing both sides, this time he was forced to take out one ally and fell prey to the other side's wishes. He had to honor one side's commitment, while still trying to keep friends and not piss people off. In the end, he did it pretty well, and it will benefit him in the future.

Kate
Kate gets CP because it was her HoH which took out a big player in round 3 through Mike's eviction. While she didn't do this alone, she was essential in it happening.

Lindsay
Lindsay had the very sad experience of losing a friend this round, but she still didn't step forward and make too many waves. Mike's departure is definitely bad for her game, but she at least has a power to hopefully help her.

Mike
He's been playing the same game, but this round lead to a lot of people not really appreciating his confidence in not using his power to save himself. He was only nominated to flush out his power and give him a wake up call, but in the end, his stubbornness lead to his eviction.


Nicki
This girl is like a roller-coaster player. Not in that her emotions are up and down, because they are pretty consistent. It's her visibility that's up and down. She's like very unpredictable, but for now, I think it's working for her. She went from OTT, to MOR, to UTR. What's next? Who knows...

Sandra
Another UTR round for Sandra. I think she's playing smart moves, but she's going to have to be careful. She doesn't have a lot of fans. Nobody seemed too negative toward her this round. Losing Mike doesn't fare well for her though because she was playing the game of hiding in the shadows of bigger targets. Every time a big target goes down, her target gets bigger as a perceived inactive.

Sean
Well, being on the block didn't help, neither did any of the other crappy things this round for him. In the end, he was quite OTT about it, and not in a good way. Sean had every right to complain, but it earned him the Negative spin to his edgic this week.

The round of Negativity!

I view Adam as the perceived head of the one side which includes Bradley, Nicki, and Dianna. Drew and Sean are in the middle kinda floating around, and Sandra/Lindsay are on the outs. That leaves Johnny, who seems to have his own agenda, but for now he's siding with the Adam brigade as far as appearances are concerned.

Adam
Adam was part of the public fight, mostly leading to his OTTN. Also, he had a very blatant strategy in the Reward challenge to sabotage Sandra, which put him up there in the N category as well. He wasn't secretive with his motives or stance this round, getting him an OTT.

Bradley
Bradley stepped back and let some of his allies do the fighting this round. In the end, he resumed his place in the alliance, simply going with the flow. This will either take him far, or make him look like a weak player in the end for being MOR so often, even as HoH. 4th round in a row as an MOR player. Will this lack of diversity cause him the game?

Britney
Britney gave another OTT performance, but this time there was little she could do to stick around. Kate was in stronger with the power players, and that caused Britney to leave, despite Lindsay and Sandra's efforts to save her. I do feel that this eviction was the result of a series of unfortunate events that didn't even involve Britney.

Dianna
Dianna is still playing a very low key game, but her selling out Lindsay got her a N spin this round. I'm still trying to figure out this girl's game. It seems very random and reckless. Yet, she's still here and nobody is seeming to target her despite her overall weak performance and frequent absences due to non game-related issues. She'll slide a few more rounds, but I don't see any long term potential here.

Drew
Drew let his HoH week go to waste. He's not really in any sort of true alliance from what I can tell, and he let the powers that be run his week by ousting Britney, a key floater who was playing a good game. He got the N rating simply because he had to nominate 4 people. Not something you want to do as HoH, especially now that he has to sit out the next 2 HoH challenges with 3 people still in the game who he's nominated. The only saving grace is that he's not really a good target because he's doing nothing to establish himself as a potential threat in my opinion. He'll slide a few more rounds as well while the big players pick each other off.

Johnny
Johnny is still playing a strong game of social connections. He's yet to win a challenge, but I feel like he's one of the most powerful people in this game. His MOR rank is because he's still sitting back and letting his friends do the dirty work, which could pay off in the end. Though, he's lost 2 strong allies in the past 2 rounds due to his connections with Adam. He's realizing that being friends with Adam has it's downfalls. I foresee him needing to make a statement soon though, or he'll find himself the victim of a random eviction I fear.

Kate
Kate was part of the Adam/Sandra fight when she didn't need to be. This is what ultimately lead to her nomination this round, and even the possibility of leaving. Lucky for her, her friends decided against voting her out, even though a few of them mentioned it. I think this was her weakest round so far, but I think she can bounce back.

Lindsay
Lindsay stepped up this round when she needed to, and she did it without being too bitchy. Finding that power saved her ass, and while she had her OTT moments, I gave her CP because she did what needed to be done, and nobody could really stop her. Also, the fact that she still holds a power is pretty significant, though she's still a big target by many.

Nicki
From what she's told me, it was actually she who decided that Britney would be the one going. Adam relied on Nicki to make the choice because it was appearing to be a possible tie with Adam/Bradley voting one way and Sean/Johnny/Lindsay leaning the other. When Nicki confirmed a vote for Britney, that's what sealed the fate, meaning Sean and Johnny really had no choice and thus swapped their vote. If this is what happened, it makes sense, and showed that Adam/Bradley rely on Nicki. Overall though, she still played a MOR round, not causing too much drama and avoiding the fights, while having some say in what happened. If she continues her trend, we'll see an OTT Round 5. (OTT, to MOR, to UTR, back to MOR, back to OTT?) Like I said, a roller-coaster player.

Sandra
Wow, she stepped out of the UTR shadow and into the light! Sandra pulled out a key win this round, but the odds are still against her as she proceeds in the game. I think now that her days are numbered. But she's still willing to fight, so who knows. I think that the OTTN rank is an obvious choice for her this round.

Sean
All the fighting this week allowed Sean a break from the spotlight, which I think fared well for him. Going UTR was probably the best thing he could do at this point, since he seems to be kinda floating around anyways, having just a few social connections to rely on. Last week for him was a wake up call, but this week he got to relax a bit.
