Dumber move tonight?

Kyle or Fessy?

Fessy by far. At least Kyle didn't try to take Devin out. Devin knows Kyle just made a dumb mistake, and he is still his best ally.

But Fessy just tried to no only take out a fellow vet, but someone that thought she was in a 4 person alliance with him. Even if Amber didn't really trust Fessy (even though she did), she wouldn't have gone after him anytime soon. Now Fessy just turned someone who actually trusted him into someone who's going to target him.

Fessy is just terrible at this part of the game.

You see CT laying low, barely even getting air time. And Fessy can't help himself and now will likely be an auto choice to go to Elimination if either Josh or Amber when a daily.

One thing I’ve learned from this show that blows my mind is how many countries have a version of Big Brother. I’m pretty sure there are places that don’t even have clean running water to their whole country, but dammit they have Big Brother.

Two seasons in a row Fessy has just completely betrayed his alliance/friends for absolutely no reason

Corey L and Michelle would’ve had a much better chance at coming back if he didn’t pick Amber as well. If they stuck to the “owe you one” promise they made they could’ve made some nice allies for him in the pending vet war.

I have never watched Big Brother so I don’t know the backstory between Fessy and Amber.

Were they on the same season? Did they have previous beef from that show? Does Fessy’s issue with Amber have anything to do with her turning him down?

I don't watch BB, either, but I think they were not even on the same season, they just had the show as a binder.

I have also found myself fast forwarding through the entirety of daily challenges now. Theyre just the worst part of the whole show.

As for Hughie, he's an annoying dumbass, but at least he's enteratining. But picking Nany was dumb. Shes never going to win anything, but then again, neither is Hughie.

I feel like half the cast is just awful. The entire Nigeria crew brings absolutely nothing to the table. They're boring and not interesting. Same with half the rest of the foreigners. They're kind of just bodies at this point. The international casting decisions have gotten prettu bad. I would much rather have some token OGs in there.

I also cannot believe how low CT is laying. He's going to again sail into a final at this rate, and he probably won't even see an elimination because he's so well rounded at every aspect of the game, plus everyone is still scared of him. I really thought Amber B was going to partner up with him again, but that would have put a gigantic target on their backs after all the rookies are weeded out and it would have made for a non-rookie team. I guess it was the smart move. And with her running abilities and Devin's puzzle skills, they could actually be competent in a final.

The one last night was terrible. I hate when the challenge is set up so the teams can gang together, it really devalues the competition. Plus in that one it was extremely hard to follow and the viewer had no clue who was in the lead or how close the first heat was to the second heat.

He should have picked Amanda to break up the only vet/vet team and spread the rookies out a little more, but for the most part no one credits these people for being smart. Now Gabo and Emy are together and an easy target instead of it being Kyle and Emy and speeding up the end of the veteran alliance.

quote:

I feel like Esther, Tacha, Priscilla, and Big T are all basically interchangeable and there's no reason for 4 of the same person on the show. None of them stand out, even Big T having been on for 4-5 seasons now.

We've barely seen any of Logan or Gabo and hardly any of Emanuel... I think the terrible daily challenges is a large reason why.

Aneesa is on the same path, except instead of everyone being scared of her, everyone wants to run a final against her. Corey and Nelson are also playing a low-key game so far, but they are going to break out of it before CT I would bet.

I also think CT and Amber and going to figure out a way to end up together for a finals run. They don't need to team up now with how much shuffling is going on.



And finally, Fessy is such an idiot. Why do that? If you see it's a hall brawl or something and you're confident that Michele is going to crush Amber, then maybe take your shot, but it was obviously some sort of puzzle/strategy game.

Besides last season when he was a target from the get go, he's been lying down for the past decade.


I also think CT and Amber, if the last closer towards the end, will wind up trying to link back up together again. Linking up early will only put the biggest target on their backs. They were smart to steer her towards Devin. You could tell she was looking at CT and he kept pointing towards Devin.

Pretty disappointing to see Michele leave. Excellent competitor and easy on the eyes.

They were not on the same season, so whatever beef they have it came about on The Challenge. But on Fessy's season of Big Brother, him and his alliance were always getting the wool pulled over their eyes, and never had a clue as to what was going on. It was one blindside after another.

And then this little dude convinced him to put up his own alliance member for eviction instead of an obvious target from the other side of the house, when Fessy's alliance absolutely had to have someone from the other side go home:



After which, Fessy made this statement to America about his HOH reign:



BB20 was such a good season with all of the blindsides that happened every week, and I think poor Fessy still doesn't know what was going on in that season. They did a number on him all season.

They basically got teamed up last season on The Challenge, and Fessy didn't think she was good enough to win with, and Amber thought he was a shitty partner, because he is. So they really hated each other as partners.

Then obviously in the end, Amber wins with CT and was clearly good enough to win with as a partner, so Fessy is jealous and hates her even more now. That was evident by his move last night because he didn't trust her, when she was all about the BB alliance and could have been trusted.

Fessy is an idiot, but it's entertaining.

I think Devin needed to chill out a bit... clearly the best thing for the Vet alliance would have been for Kyle and Amanda to win since they were the only vet/vet team. That way there is less chance of a split vote, and had two rookies won elimination, they couldn't split up the vet/vet pair.

Yep, but if the rest of the house were smart, they would see that coming and try to stop it. Problem is, again, no one is going to want to go against CT in any elimination, so they will target Amber and hope it's something really physical against a bigger girl, and try to leave CT with a lesser partner.

Can't believe I'm actually liking and rooting for Josh now. Still think Kyle's excuse was complete BS.

From what has been aired and the podcasts, Amber is/ was mad after last season, being in the BB alliance and finding out Fessy had convinced Josh and Kacee that she was expendable and was at the bottom of their alliance and only used to bolster Fessy/ BB game.

Never. Not going to happen.

I like him more than Fessy, but that's not saying much. I hope they both get early exits.

My DVR is gonna be all fricked up and without my weekly shows thanks to no power, but I’m watching online on my Xbox right now.

If Amber blindly trusts Kaycee and thinks Fessy is being “genuine” then she’s an idiot. Fessy only ever cares about Fessy. That’s it. And he’s proven that time and time again.

Corey L sucks. And that sucks for Michele.

This challenge seems super easy. Maybe I’m crazy but there is no way that platform is 35 feet above the water. No way.

I love Kyle so much. I love how he just doesn’t usually give a frick about anything, or that he’s too stupid to do things correctly. He fricked up the plan and is just like “yeah, I wanted to win.”

Damn, Fessy won. Can’t wait to watch him frick up his power since he’s so stupid.

Hughie saying he voted himself and Ashley in.

Feels like this will 100% be Amber based on Fessy and what Kaycee was saying earlier in the episode about how she doesn’t trust her. Didn’t they frick her over before (and not vice versa)?

TJ pulling out his phone while Josh is yelling at Fessy is hilarious. And Fessy is such an idiot, but so is Josh so it’s all entertaining to me. I just don’t want Amber to go home bc she’s nice to look at.

Of course Hughie and Amber drop the key. Him talking shite to Corey is great tv, but you gotta focus up and win though. Idiot.

I wish Amber and Michele could both stay and Hughie and Corey could both go home. TJ admonishing Corey for “putting his hands on” Hughie was a little stupid. That dude was literally screaming at him in his face and threatening them. Chill the frick out, TJ.

Amber choosing Devin is a smart move, but with how the season works when any single person can be thrown in, it doesn’t really matter at all.

frick Fessy. He’s such a stupid dude. But I also don’t feel bad for Josh either. He’s just as stupid and sucks at the challenges anyway. They both deserve each other. Fessy calling Josh his best friend is also hilarious.

I think CT had one single line in the entire episode.

Agree with that. The first thing I do if I’m Amber is corner CT back at the house and work out a plan that allows them to team up right before the final.

ETA: and yeah, Josh is never someone I can see myself pulling for. Like ever. Admittedly, I hated Jordan and he won me over completely. But I never hated him like I do Josh. He’s a big dummy, and he sucks at almost everything, yet he thinks he’s some challenge god who is awesome at everything. And he’s more emotional than five-years-ago Nany. He’s the worst. Fessy too.

Jordan was great at the challenges.

Josh is more annoying but also shitty at any challenge that doesn’t involve swimming. For being a pretty big guy who seems to have a healthy lifestyle, he is also very uncoordinated.

I don’t know how anyone can be a fan of Josh.

I disagree with you on one thing. Fessy respects one person: Kaycee. The only time he doesn’t is when she clearly tore a ligament in the final.

Jordan destroying Josh at tug of war with one hand is an extremely underrated Challenge moment in my opinion.
