So Edgic with Big Brother is a little different. This will be a bit harder to do because weeks are much longer, but nevertheless they are fun to look at and do. If you feel like anybody's "Edgic" that round should be changed, you can discuss it. For the first week I tried to just think about everyone and the impact they had thus far. I took into account the pregame as well. First week was hard to do with 25 people.
Week 1
*Comments are an explanation for why I gave them their ratings
: MORN3- I felt as though April was a bit under the radar and a bit over the top, thus that would make her a mix of both and Middle of the Road. She was under the radar for being somewhat inactive and she was over the top with her flirtatious behavior. "3" would also be the average visibility. I also gave her a negative "N" because everyone pretty much disliked her. Overwhelmingly, people found her annoying and a bore to talk to. Some felt her heart wasn't in it. In what was supposedly a landslide for Ollie to leave resulted in a majority in April going.
: CPP4- I feel like Angie had a lot of control the first week of the game. She definitely was a "Complex Personality" and a lot of people liked her. She is off to a great start in this game and that definitely warrants her a positive "P". She disliked April and had no problem evicting her even though she was in her clique. She definitely stood out this week, but wasn't in the center of attention as far as the competitions and nominations and all that went, so I gave her a "4" visibility.
: UTR1- When looking back on the first week he is pretty much non-existent. I almost wanted to give him an "INV1" which is the worst rating. However, I don't feel as though anyone was invisible in the first week of the game and he already has some things and alliances going on. He was definitely under the radar though.
: CPN2- He made a bold move in going for the Big Brother Store Airline tickets. That is a strategic move and it warrants him "CP" I gave him a negative "N" because I feel like the general consensus of him is that he is not well liked. Nobody really likes talking to him and he is at the top of a lot of people's hit lists. Going for the prize bumped him to a "2" visibility this week. He also strategically selected the people he wanted to sit out the next Head of Household. Whether it was smart or not remains to be seen.

: OTT3- He is certainly playing up his roleplay with Pickle Head. Pretty much the life of the party and I was debating giving him a "P" because a few people seem to like him. However, a few isn't enough. He was also over the top in the food competition by posting all those photos. A lot of his posts are all jokes and he is having a good time. "3" visibility for average presence the first week. Pretty explanatory as to why I gave him this rating.
: UTRP2- She had a rough start and that is why I gave her under the radar. She has a bit of work to do and she is a bit out of the loop. The positive "P" I gave her was because she has shown promise. From the few people who originally wanted her out changed their tunes once she talked to them. All she needs to do is start talking to people more because they seem to like her and their opinions went 180.
: CP5- Being the first Head of Household is obviously a huge target on your back but I think Dan did a good job. He made the smart move in protecting his less active allies by throwing April on the block who was a bit more active than them, but pretty much disliked by the house, thus pleasing the house. Ollie going up was a no Brainer and it made things easier on Dan. Selecting the Student Cabinet and going for Head of Household was his strategy this week. We don't know yet if it was a bad or good thing, but things are looking pretty nice I'd say.
: MOR3- He had a nice pre-game but he wasn't very involved in the events this week. He was selected to go on the trip so he didn't have to participate in the voting, and I feel like if he did he would of tried to keep April in the game. Nevertheless he was the poster child of average this week. Middle of the Road "3".
: UTRN1- Not many people like him so when I thought of his rating I thought of "N" before anything else. Secondly, I thought he was under the radar. He doesn't talk a lot and he laid low this first week. I think Jerry has a lot of work to do, otherwise he'll be clinging onto Jeff to stay in the game.
: OTTM4- He is certainly a character and made his presence known throughout the entire house with his roleplaying. He campaigned for Head of Household in an over the top way. I gave him a Mixed tone "M", because with most people they either love him or hate him. It;s hard to find middle ground on his likability. Basically one way or the other and that's not looking good for him long term.
: OTT4- She is the lovely social butterfly we know her to be and she has gone crazy in the social department. So crazy that I've decided she was over the top. She is definitely in the like light and that could come back to haunt her. Her prying for Alias's has given her an enemy in Lydia. I think she needs to relax a bit because too much attention is on her. However I think she has her heart in the game and her over the top game is so far doing her more good than bad.
: MOR2- She has a pretty good pre-game and had a lot of people liking her. I would of gave her a "P" but I feel like she has been slacking lately as all the events transpired this week. Her presence was more known before the Head of Household was crowned I believe. However I think she deserved Middle of the Road over UTR because she seems to be set up very well. "2" visibility because I think she was under the average for being noticed as the events happened.
: CPP5- Oh Kevin! What a great early game. He is so likeable! Everyone wants to be his best friend and that is why I gave him a positive "P". Not only is he so likeable, he is also powerful! He decided to see if he had control so he got the ball rolling to evict April. And success. The part that gets me though is that she was his cliquemate, but if he has a better relationship with Ollie than who cares. I definitely credit Kevin this week and he certainly deserves a "5" in visiblity for all the strategy.
: UTRM2- She had a pretty bad start from being on vacation. I think that would warrant her a negative "N". However, she deserves a positive "P" for her efforts to make herself known through campaigning as well as leading her team to victory in the food competition. I think her participation in that let a few people know she was here to play. Basically the mix of the two gives her a mixed tone of "M". Her rough start makes her under the radar.
: UTR2- Looking back on this week, Libra was pretty much invisible. However not enough to give her an "INV1" I also noticed she gave some informative DR entries so I bumped her up to a "2" visibility opposed to a "1" I think her game is very under the radar right now. She was a hard one to rate for sure.
: OTTN2- Lydia started out pretty well liked for someone who was not around much. However she came back and told everyone she had a death in the family. LIE! that is definitely over the top negative! There is no arguing that. It isn't bad gameplay because it obviously worked but it's just a no brainer.
: UTRN2- He has a bad start but got a lucky break when Dan, his ally, won Head of Household. I feel like he is stepping it up more but not enough. He gets a negative "N" for being suggested to go on the block by a lot of people. The inactivity = the under the radar. I gave him a "2" in visibility instead of "1" because I feel like he was "in" on the plan to oust April.
: CP4- Of all the alliances and plans that went around this week, Michele's Chilltown is the one that stood out. It also helps that her partner in that alliance, Dan, won Head of Household. I gave her a "Complex Personality" because she made herself known the first week. She campaigned and put a lot of effort into the first Head of Household and she is trying to get control on her side. "4" for visibility because she wasn't the center of the events this week, just a bit above average.
: MORP3- Michelle had a very nice start in this game and I don't think anyone dislikes her. Overwhelmingly people seem to like her and want her to be in their alliance so I gave her a positive "P". Aside from her likability, she was middle of the road "3" which is as average as you can get. I expect her to be around awhile at her current rate.
: OTTN2- She was definitely invisible from Head of Household results onwards, but prior to that she was target # 1. She wasn't afraid to let everyone know she wasn't gonna kiss ass and play campfire as everyone introduced themselves. She was over the top negative "N" for sure. She went over board to where LOTS of people wanted her out. Even the people who are her friends suspect she will be gone soon because of that.
: OTTN3- He wasn't that active until the results for Head of Household came. That is when he got himself in a nomination chair. How stupid! But so funny. Over the top negative "N" for the comments to Dan as he won Head of Household. Who does that? lol. This guy certainly made an entertaining week and people decided to keep him thinking they can get rid of him later. How many times will that happen you think? xD Very lucky he stayed. "3" for visibility because he was pretty much average this week. The only think that made him noticeable was his little outburst and the fact it got him nominated.
: MOR2- I wanted to give her a "P" but I don't feel as though majority likes her just yet. However she is liked by quite a few and was pretty average pre-game. She wasn't that noticeable in the events this week but I won't diminish her pre-game. "2" for visibility because she was just under the average I believe.
: MORN2- He would of been under the radar "1" if he hadn't won the Power of Veto. That definitely bumped him up to "2" and middle of the road. Eyes were on him to see if he would use it or not. He gets a negative "N" because not many people liked him and I can't think of many..or any who do. I don't think he is long for this game, but winning competitions for his clique may get him to the second portion of this game.
: UTRN2- He had the worst start because he was the last to check in and people were preying on that. However he did a good enough job to show he wants to play. However I got to give him a negative "N" for all the comments about him not being around much. He is still at the bottom of the barrell but I expect and can only hope he changes that soon.
: CP4- He has probably the best pre-game of all and I was impressed by his dedication to the game! He slipped a bit in noticeably as the events transpired this week so I gave him a "4". He started quite a few alliances and is already looking ahead predicting future weeks. I think he'll be around awhile.
