Kaysar's week 2 nominations in All-Stars were brillant... for him. He played up the myth (or truth, depending on how you look at it) that he was an extremley over-rated player that cracked in pressure situations. He instead of doing the predictable ChillTown nom and putting a target on himself, he instead nominated two "ambers" who would have made it far in the game if they werent targeted early and by doing so kept himself as an individual off of the big players radar.

Well for starters you have to consider the fact that by putting up Will & Boogie, he probably would have been able to get Will out of the house right away. Erikunt in all likelyhood was not gonna veto either one of them. The best way to get off a big player's radar is to get the big player out of the house. Which he could have done. I for one would think that Boogie would completely fall apart without Will's support early in the game and would not be long for the game without him there.

now yes, the Sovs were still Public Enemy number 1 in there so the move didnt change his overall position, but Janelle, James, and even Howie were all seen as bigger threats then Kaysar after that move without question. Say Jase had won HOH in Week 3, he would have gone after Janey first of course, and then most likely James (considering their deal doesnt happen).

And at the same time Diane would definately go after Janelle too. Why potentially give Diane a reason to target yourself when if you nominate Will & Boogie she doesn't go after you at all? Why give Jase a potential reason to target Kaysar for nominating his Mrs. Smith ally? Certainly in the end it made no difference as she never won HOH, but I felt there wasn't good reasons for potentially pissing off Diane & Jase like that.

I feel that Ridha realized that he could essentialy float by under the right circumstances, and then return to the ways of the "King" by Week 7 or 8 when he could really make his move. And if you fast forward to Week 5, we have proof of this (and that the move made sense) because Dani would have targeted Howie over Kaysar! By this point no one saw him as a serious threat, and near the end they were all very sympathetic towards him. There is no denying he made one stupid decision on 6 that cost him a real shot at the game, however he just simply got unlucky on All-Star.

I understand where you're coming from, but I do feel that it was essentially a pussy move that down the line cost the entire alliance big time as he(and James the next week by putting up Jase instead of Boogie) failed to take out the biggest threats in the house and by lasting so long they were eventually able to get rid of them all. Things would have gone a lot smoother for the sovereign 4 in BBAS if Nakomis & Diane were in the house in week 5 and past instead of Will & Boogie.
