| Also, something that I've been thinking about lately.
How do you guys think things would have panned out if AP was never part of the season?
Here is my take -
The first 3 evictions would have gone the same. The first one that may have been different was Nick, but honestly, I still believe even without the "hinky vote," he would have been the one to leave that week. Now, whether Dani would have still targeted Eric or not, who knows, because there would not have been any mystery votes, and probably no banner.
In week 5, assuming Dani won HOH , the noms would have been Kail & Jen again. Now, Jen still would have won the Numbers Don't Lie POV, and I think Zach likely would have gone up in her place, and he likely would have gone home due to Kail giving up 5 HOH's.
That would have left the 7 LNC Members, Kail, & Jen in the Final 9.
At this point, I think Eric & Jess would have been in a great position. No one would have had issues with them, Dick/Dani had more immediate issues with Kail/Jen, and then Dustin/Amber.
Assuming Jess still would have won HOH, I think Kail & Jen would have been the nominations yet again in Week 6. Now, assuming noms stayed the same, Jen would have left due to Kail not being able to play in 4 more HOH's.
This is where things get tricky. I really think Kail would have sided with Dustin, Amber, & Jameka, who would still be aligned with Eric & Jess, but just getting another vote in Kail. As a result, Dick/Dani would have been forced to go after them since they had the numbers, with Eric & Jess continuing to play a very smart strategic game & just keep their relationships strong with everyone & not clearly being on a side unless they had to, but playing both sides to an extent and winning comps if they needed to. I also think Jameka would have been in pretty good shape at this point.
I think we would have seen Dustin, Dick, Kail, & Amber be the next 4 to go, I'm not sure in what order, but I think that's how it would have gone down, leaving Eric, Jess, Daniele, & Jameka in The Final 4.
Basically, I think if not for America's Player, there would have been a good chance that Eric & Jess would have made the Final 2.
Of course, this is all speculation & who knows what would have happened. If you change one thing in the domino sequence of events, it changes everything else, and so we'll never know, but logically, if AP was not a twist, I think Eric & Jess would have made it to the Final 4, and most likely at least one of them to the Final 2. But again, who knows, I could be completely off, who knows, maybe we would have seen a Jameka vs. Daniele Final, or a Zach vs. Jen final, we'll never know. Gah!!
