Lio leaving was dumb IMO. If it’s for his mental health then whatever, but isn’t he supposedly (or was) a pro wrestler? So waking up in a different place and seeing tons of strangers should be something he’s done hundreds of times before. Weird.

I love how big of an anchor Aneesa was for Fessy during that challenge. Even she knew it.

Good for Jay and Theresa.

Lolo finally dropped the “I’m a professional athlete.” And her voice annoys the shite out of me. She sounds like a girl trying to deepen her voice and sound like a guy. It’s every weird.

Fessy still has no game. Hilarious. I still think gabby is hot sometimes and not other times.

Ashley going into paranoid mode and I sense a meltdown may be imminent.

Actually, Ashley at deliberation is the most coherent and made the most sense she ever has. I don’t know if people are buying it but she made a good argument.

Man, Theresa plays a dirty game. But at some point you have to though. And she’s not stupid to want to get out one of the girls that want her gone. Going with Kam is dangerous though since she has some house sway. I thought she would’ve gone for Nany. Plus it would’ve been cool to see Josh squirm. But she and Jay are right that they have people gunning for them anyway, so frick it. And TJ fricking with everybody with the men/women thing was awesome.

Now Theresa can say that she gave Kam her gold skull. I love how Jay is terrified and Theresa is like “yeah that’s why I wanted her in, to get Ashley out.”

CT nailed it. People always get mad when they get lied to but that’s how you play the game. And everyone in the game lies to people in these games. You almost can’t win without it.

And Kam staying with Kyle surprised me. She was pissed when he made that move but now likes it I guess.

Good episode.

I think that was a bit of dramatics from Jay...

A) He can almost certainly smooth things over with Kyle. That was 99% chance a womens' elimination so he was letting Theresa call the shots and Kyle wasn't in serious danger.
B) He and Theresa still have good numbers on their side with the rookies.
C) He has to go in and get a skull at some point anyway, he's not one to be scared to go in.

It was such BS for all the people complaining about Theresa and Jay lying. Seriously Kyle? Kyle is going to complain about lies? That's Kyle's entire fricking strategy.

Right, not to mention Kyle had just lied to Jay about voting for Ashley. And he knows that Jay knows this.


ETA: This is also why I think it'll be real easy for Jay to smooth things over there.

Maybe I missed something, but why did everyone assume it was a girls elimination night the entire episode?

Everyone assumed it was girls elim bc 3 males have skulls vs 1 female. They had to balance it eventually.

Which is strange b/c a few weeks ago they somehow didn't know who would be going in. They have to know? right? maybe not

They don’t know. Like someone said, they are just assuming based on skulls

It’s only a matter of time before the producers throw them a curve ball and make it the opposite elimination than everyone expects.

Will probably be after some deal is made by the power couple where they want someone thrown in, but they assure that person’s partner not to worry because it’s gonna be the opposite sex elimination this time.

I remember the days TJ would shite on players that quit and now they almost celebrate it. Then put a message at the bottom about mental health

I'm starting to believe more and more that Lolo is fricked. The house is never going to vote her and Nam into the crater, and no top agents are going to pick them to go in. She'll make it to the final and get sent home because she never even had a chance to get a skull. I don't see her and Nam winning a comp unless they just tailor make one for them, which I guess isn't out of the question.



That just wont happen. It never does. I really think the producers must step in and stop it because stuff like that just never happens.

Not only that....it may have been the best argument Ive ever seen on a challenge. It was so succinct and well thought. She laid it out like a high school term paper with an introduction, 3 part body, and conclusion.

She's smart to keep her and Leroy (who has a strong partner) separate to amplify her numbers. She probably also knows Kyle will go along with whatever she says and whatever game she wants to play, plus she knows he can run a final pretty well and, now that both of them have skulls, that team can play a little bit different of a game than everyone else.

Instead of having to worry about getting their own skulls, they can focus either on getting an ally a skull or taking out a threat.

I would bet this was the week they really were going to switch it up and do a guys elimination. Sending both Ashley and Kam back into the house after what Theresa did would have been good. But, Lio leaving fricked it up and they didn’t want to lose 2 guys in one week.

They still need to get back to even numbers of girl/guy skulls, so I think next week is going to be girls again. Then it will get integrating after that.

If TJ can't hate quiters anymore what is next? They have gone too far now.

Damn, she drives me crazy but Killer Kam has some absolute cannons, Jesus.

fricking hated TJ white knighting this dude who quit because of some bullshite about reminding him of being in a home. I mean, that’s some pretty weak shite, and TJ has always blasted quitters.

This is obviously a guy’s elimination, right? They’re clearly gonna make it a twist now that everyone just assumes it’s girls.

Man, I think Theresa and Jay got drunk on the power and made some mega dumbass moves.

If you were gonna get rid of a “strong” girl, don’t create an absolute shitstorm in your wake, especially when you’re not a strong team that folks are afraid of, and especially when the team you throw in has Kam who’s psycho about rallying folks and also pisses off Cory and Kyle, two of the only dudes on your side if you’re Jay.

The smart move would’ve been to rally folks against Nany as the house vote and then go in against her, but Theresa, like they all are, is too big of a pussy.

It’s one thing for Fessy to make a power move that really elevates him and then leaves a shitstorm in his wake because let’s be honest no one is calling him out because they’re scared and atleast he got a skull. These two clowns just pissed off the whole house and for what, a 50-50 chance of eliminating a sorta strong competitor?

Yep, it was an idiot move and the collateral damage was not worth getting out just Ashley. Yeah, she's decent in a final and she can do puzzles, but it's not like this was the final couple of weeks before the final. It's like halfway into the season and now everyone hates you.

Plus, you didn't even get a skull out of it. Overall, a very short sighted that will lily bite her in the arse 8n the weeks to come.
