Added DiffLines:

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Jacob's master plan amounted to spreading a lie about one houseguest, Parker, in front of his teammate. Said teammate immediately went to Parker. The eviction was almost guaranteed to land on Adam and Sheila because the two were clashing and causing mayhem in the house. That is, until Jacob stupidly made himself the biggest target of all.
* TheGadfly: Jacob had no dirt on Parker. He simply invented some garbage that Parker was a snake. Too bad it was right at the start of the game and before anybody had done anything to merit that kind of slander.
