About the only intriguing thing left for this season is watching to see who takes the first shot at the other between Kyland and Xavier.

Good point! They will definitely turn on each other. Might even be viscous and malicious.

The plan is a triple eviction when it gets down to 6 so that drama will be gone. This week will probably it before I check out for the summer.

He'd have to know about it to do that. Did he figure it out in recent days? I know he and Claire have come close a couple of times, but couldn't connect the last few dots.

I’m not 100% sure. I saw an earlier post that indicated he danced around the subject last night but I haven’t watched the latest episode yet.

Triple eviction takes out the fun of the first cast off

X makes a normal comp run and drags Azah and fat arse to the end and wins or loses to Azah due to some “female empowerment” jury vote

Tiff wins and cuts X and wins easily over Azah and fat arse

Any of the white people go on a comp run they lose to whatever black person they are next to

Not that many options and not that exciting

This killed any Committee drama last season as well. I thought it was pretty much a consensus that last year's triple was a huge dud, so of course CBS would decided to bring it back this season. Now we won't even get the CO turning on each other. The BB showrunners should just shoot themselves.

What good would that do? They have the numbers. CBS will celebrate an alliance based purely on race, what a great step forward for our country!

I’m sure watching the cookout turn on each other will be fun, but I’ll miss it.

Love what all this diversity and inclusion is showing about our country!

He and Ali had one of the most complex friendships in sports.

I didn't think so. They were friends, Frazier supported him to sit out the Vietnam War and then Ali was a shitbag to him. After that they were never friends again.

Frazier was before my time. As was Ali but Ali from that time period always got all the hype. I grew up in the Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Hitman Hearns days.

I was just imagining if Frazier would have retired after his first fight with Ali. Would have gone down as the greatest ever.

I wrote a book report on George Foreman's second career in middle school. His first fight with Frazier was an arse whoopin.

DX definitely does not know about the CO. He thinks the big alliance in the house is Ky/SB/X/Alyssa. He talked to Claire last night about exposing that "alliance." He's been working Tiffany for her vote to stay and asking her to help him work on Big D and Azah. Not sure if she's on board with that or just telling him what he wants to hear. Ky said he was willing to throw him a pity vote unless he sensed the vote would be close. He and Claire both at least realize X is the biggest threat in the game right now.


Oh, and Tiffany and Hannah have realized they're in big trouble if the CO make it to final 6, so I think Tiffany would rather keep DX knowing he could go after X and/or Ky. She also sees he's a shield for her because he's an easier and bigger target. Problem is, Big D and Azah aren't convinced and Big D ran straight to X about it. Not sure if anything will sway Big D or Azah at this point.

DX is definitely putting in a lot of work to sow doubt and distrust and stick around.

I believe you but how in the hell did you grow up in that era and remain oblivious to the greatness of Joe Frazier? I came up in the same time, wasn't even that heavy into boxing, and Frazier was still a household name to me.

He’s got a chance. If he uses the fact that he is one of, I think 2, that may be able to gamble next week, that’s pretty good leverage for a deal. The power is to replace the nominees. DF will play also and I think DX could convince the others, at this point, that DF having that power is risky. Even for the CO. One of them (the CO) have to make a move, soon. The one who does it first will have the advantage. Also, any one of the CO members would have a guaranteed win if sitting next to anyone not in the CO. DX is fighting, at least.

He does have a chance, especially because X goes into solitary confinement tomorrow. X is the glue holding the CO together, and they all go to him to commiserate. Tiffany is frustrated because she doesn't think the women in the CO are getting much of a voice, but she also admitted she got it because she hasn't delivered any comp wins for them and she backed down from the save DX campaign she had started. DF was adamantly against it, as was Hannah, which surprised me. Ky isn't as dominant a personality as X, and he pissed Azah off. I missed the full convo but he basically wanted to use the DX eviction as a resume builder since he convinced SB to put her up. If Azah tells Tiffany that, she may could use it against him and create some fractures tomorrow while X isn't around.

It all still seems like an extremely long shot.

You know it's a bad season when you find this thread halfway on page 2.

I mean a week ago you had no idea what the name Joe Frazier meant in boxing and now understand their friendship?

It is far more complex and nuanced than you suggest.
