What's the purpose of nominating Angela every week if whoever wins is just going to use it on her. It's idiotic play like this that has everyone on hamsters and jokers checking out.

She’s this seasons Victoria Rafaeli from BB16 basically. That’s one less winner for the POV every week and Angela is basically ostracized at this point. Almost Zero shot at winning the game so why burn a week to send her home now that the game is heated up

this is true, but Tucker hardly needed the help I also have a theory that Tucker was cast as a show “jack rabbit” meaning he was there to maintain the early pace of the show while building viewership and then he pretty much dropped out - his alliance and loyalty to Angela was really weird in the week before he was evicted he was talking about wanting to go home, missed his parents and his dog etc dude went from redhot to ice cold in three days, he also seemed to really tank the two comps he sets up a showmance, bangs Rubina in the HOH room on camera, tells her he loves her on national television and then checks out. WTF was that?

Zach Rance energy

Minus the getting it in part lol unless that was with Frankie Grande lol

Just getting caught up on last night's episode and I'm just sick to my stomach at all the tear filled diary room interviews of various houseguest saying they voted to keep Kimo because he just checked so many boxes and they couldn't vote against someone like that.

frick all of these people, every fricking one of them. They don't deserve to be in this game.

Or maybe the game has just evolved beyond me and I can't accept the reality of what is is today.

I mean, we’ve known CBS is woke and has been for years

You should watch BB Canada though

I’ve seen it mentioned a few times on podcasts and Twitter, and I happen to agree with it, that there is a psychological aspect that the ai arena brought to the game that probably wasn’t intended.

With the ai arena, because you didn’t know who would win and be safe, you had to continue to treat each HG as a player worthy of being in the game and having a relationship with. With the normal week (2 noms + renom) you sorr of know who is going to go home so the Hg mentally and emotionally prepare themselves so they don’t feel like assholes.

I think this is partially why we have so many emotional evictions this season. You can already see the difference this week in that they know Quinn is going home and they fricked him over after saying they wouldn’t. They are dragging him hard behind closed doors. Making him out to be this bad person where they are morally superior.

This didn’t happen with ai arena. Instead everyone continued to speak highly of the people on the block in case they came off. This leads to people being very close friends.

That actually makes a lot of sense and is very interesting.

I still wouldn’t mind an AI arena type format next season but it should stop after 4 weeks. I also think the producers erred not utilizing the battle back for the last 4 evictees.

Even if she makes final 2, she's not winning. Everyone knows why she's survived so many times being on the block. Its not her gameplay. She's honestly been shitty to so many people and is so completely useless, I could see maybe a sympathy vote or two for her but I doubt she even gets that.

---

I mean, what if she gave an all time closing speech where she explained and gave specific examples of how she strategically sabotaged her own game in order to be taken for granted so they would keep her the entire time because “no one would vote for her to win over me”

She gives a riveting speech and has completely convinced us all of her master plan.


I’d vote for her at that point.

Taylor was 2 seasons ago. But yes. She ducked at the game except she was a beauty queen so she knew how to give a damn speech for sure.

Let’s all remember that Jag was duly evicted from the house but then an unexpected (damn, I would have expected that) twist to save him.

Hearing rumblings that the vote might flip back to evicting Kimo… still early though

Leah is pushing hard for this. She thinks she has MJ but she ran that shite right up to that HOH room and spilled to Chelsie. MJ was kinda on board with keeping him but Chelsie and Cam both shut it down quick. At best they could tie it without Cam also flipping and Chelsie has already said she wants Quinn out so she's not going to vote to keep him.
