Win Equity of the players

Its very interesting thinking about the win equity each player has so far and there are very few that I think the houseguests view as winner material. Obviously there is more game left to play and anything could happen.

Melody - Possibly has the worst win equity in the house and she knows it. I think she could use this lack of a threat to to her advantage but has no close allies or power in the game.
Needs to win something to have an impact. Not like Ashley from bb27, who at
this point seemed to not have win equity, because Ashley at least was in
people's ears. Melody screams, cries, and hangs with Drew. Drew tells her she
has a good social game but that is just good social standing.

Drew - Likely the worst win equity in the house and doesn't really know it. Thinks he can win against
icons/Barrett (I think) but knows he doesn't have a resume. He has done more
than I think he gets a credit for but it was all group work and benefitting
other's games. He is seen in the game as an icon puppet and seen as disposable
by the icons. Even if Devens goes home on his HOH, it will not be his move, it
will likely be Barrett's.

Barrett - Probably wins against Melody and Drew, maybe against Taylor/La La(because of his crossover and fap connections) but against Yash/the icons (maybe Angela), its looking
rough. This flip could build his resume but an HOH after would be even more
impressive. I don't know what his plans are after the flip and it could either
really benefit his game or become public enemy #1.

Yash - I think Yash has the most win equity of the newbies and the most of the entire house possibly. I could see Devens/Dee putting up a fight in the F2, especially if they run the
second half of the game too, but I think Yash sitting in the chairs is a good
outlook for him. The newbies would likely vote him over an icon no matter what,
minus Drew, so that means he needs all the newbies in the jury and to sit next
to someone like Angela. Yash I think has all the newbies (minus Drew) votes because
he has been this pillar for them to have some power in this game. His bribe
hurts his game because if he wins HOH and nominates Melody, Drew, and Barrett,
then renoms Taylor or LaLa, that ruins a lot of his goodwill.

La Trice - She is very interesting because she is seen as a comp threat in the house but not a game
threat. The houseguests think Taylor ran LaLa's HOH (but still say she does
nothing lol). I think she could win against Drew and Melody. I am not sure
against Taylor. LaLa staying could allow for her to beast more comps,
especially if they get more physical and that could build her resume. I think
LaLa wins against Angela but Devens and Dee, I'm not sure. LaLa's perception in
the game is so interesting because I don't think they'll consider her as having
a chance to win until she's in the F3.

Taylor - Everyone but Yash and LaLa think Taylor does nothing. Even though they say she ran LaLa's
HOH and was guaranteed safe in any scenario vs Drew and Mallory when she was on
the block. I don't think she gets the strategic credit she deserves but I think
she needs to win an HOH to prove herself. Like Barrett, I think she actually
has great potential but needs a couple of moves to brag about. I think she can
make a compelling case against Drew, Melody, and Barrett. But the icons (and
Drew) have all been saying they would be mad if Taylor won the game so I think
they have a bitter idea of her for interesting reasons that is invalid. She
definitely doesn't win against Yash (as of right now) and LaLa, I think rn its
a toss up.

Devens - Had great equity before volunteering for the block, he's putting his game in unnecessary
jeopardy. If he makes it through this week and steamrolls with the icons +
Drew, I think he wins against anyone. If hes in the F2 against Yash, I think
the newbies would vote Yash (minus Drew). I think he has had more of the flashy
moves and checks in on relationships more than Dee and he wins against her.

Dee - Pretty rough win path honestly. If Devens goes home and she doesn't win power next week, and someone other than Yash or Drew wins HOH, she could be very vulnerable. I think
the entire house feels burned by her in some way or another. Melody and Barrett
are pissed about Mallory. Taylor is Dee's go to nominee, and I bet Yash would
like her out on someone else's HOH if possible. I think she wins in F2 against
Angela, Melody, Drew, and maybe LaLa. Devens leaving could be terrible for her
game or it could force her to pivot to building relationships with other
people, somehow.

Angela - I think Angela and Melody are great people to bring to the F2 because I don't think people see them as doing much. I think both icons win against Angela. Yash definitely wins
against her. Barrett likely does, LaLa I think does(though Barrett may vote for
Ang), Taylor wins against Angela. I think Angela, at this point wins against
Melody but losing Haley was terrible because that was her best F2 option.
