Title: General discussion
Post by: Snowbird on July 18, 2021, 09:26:47 PM
Just finished watching 7/18 show and here are some of my thoughts.
I love Sarah Beth.  She was made for the show.  She has such a funny personality. 
I have heard a lot of people that don't like Brent.  I enjoyed his diary rooms.  I think he and Sara Beth might both be long time players in the house.
I also like Xavier and I especially like Kyland.
I feel sorry for Frenchie.  I think he had big plans but played them out too soon before establishing a good place with the other players.  Circumstances made it for him having to nominate people he didn't intend to nominate and he made enemies out of people he wanted to play with.
Sarah Beth was so cute doing the Wildcard competition posing for the picture.

She was great! I so, so, so wanted to like Frenchie. I don't see how anyone could play the game worse... Xavier is one of my faves, too. I loved him ironing paper towels, he has a great sense of humor. I still am hoping Britini will show her stuff. I haven't done too much reading on the blogs, so don't know much about what kind of scheming is going on yet.

I think Frenchie came in too fast and furious. Maybe they want him to act this way, because last season was so boring. And, if so, comps might go in his favor.
Bid D I doubt will do well in really hard comps or hanging on a wall, but, I can see Frenchie doing this.
I love Sarah, she is a little doll and I like Britini, too. I do hope there isn't a twist and she goes home without even really starting the summer.
Xavier ironing the paper towels was hysterical. I like him too.
Actually, there are more to like this season than in many past seasons for me.

I am wondering if BB is going to try and influence the house to keep Frenchie since he is at the center of the controversy.  They always seem to like to keep the ones who people talk about.  It would not surprise me if they don't.

That is exactly what I meant in my post.

Just finished a piece for my editor on why Frenchie's HoH went wrong.  I could have kept going but stopped at 10.  It's been a long season and we're only on week two.

Frenchie has been begging America for a free pass.  He's so far got nothing and is still on the block.  I honestly think that the producers have no way to help him.  When he asked by the koop de etate it was funny.
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: Snowbird on July 20, 2021, 06:00:49 PM
Frenchie's HOH was partly messed up with the teams and the Wildcard.  Also, he had promised so many people safety that with all that was already safe from eviction he had nowhere else to go for nominees.  It put him in a desperate situation and made others mad with him.  I think if he had gone to them and warned them before nominations what he had to do and why he might have salvaged his HOH and respect from others.   
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: bacali on July 21, 2021, 03:49:33 AM
Yes, for sure, poor Frenchie boxed himself in a corner with making alliances with practically everyone in the house. If he has been a fan of the show, he certainly is stupid because he used absolutely no strategy at all. When it came down to nominations, he had no one to nominate. I feel sorry for him because he really seemed to  want to play , but, BB is really a game where you have to use your brain as well as your braun. He has neither.

I haven’t been keeping up too well so far I admit, but from what I’ve seen and read Frenchie seems like one of the worst players I can recall. He made general statements about not targeting girls or non-whites and went around promising safety to absolutely every person in the house except for Christian and when C won safety and spoiled his plans he made a lot of panicky decisions. He could’ve salvaged most of the people in the house if he’d just been forthright about what happened especially with his own team/alliance. But he kept his reasons to himself and all that did was make him look untrustworthy to everyone. When even your own team (of whom he appears to be the best athlete and thus their best chance to win comps/safety) want you gone and actively trash you around the house than you are truly screwed.

He seems to feel like he has been betrayed somehow, but he only has himself to blame.

I seem to have missed so much while I was out of town. The first couple of weeks are usually not that impactful but it seems this one was!!
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: bacali on July 21, 2021, 03:24:22 PM
trouble, I don't think you've missed much at all. The show is only an hour long and actually just what has been posted has happened in general.
We get to see the edit of what CBS wants us to see...so tonight they will fill you in on what has been going on ( WED) and tomorrow an eviction.
I still don't know the names of everyone. 
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: LindaM on July 21, 2021, 07:53:15 PM
In my blogs, I posted one about Frenchie yesterday.  He ruined his chance to play by giving everyone but Derek X immunity and Derek X ruined all his plans.  With the pity party he used to try to stay, I hope it is just as good.  Kyland didn't do anything to hurt him.  Frenchie hurt himself.

Frenchie digs his hole deeper and deeper.

I will have to say Frenchie was a class act tonight at eviction.

Surprisingly so!

Has anyone else noticed that the background music is new in some spots? I heard some bells, and a xylophone I think. But I am no musician, so ???

No, I haven't. I guess I will have to listen more carefully on the next show.

spoiler spoiler spoiler
Christian not only is HOH but won veto as well.  Nominated are Whitney and Hannah,
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: Snowbird on August 04, 2021, 11:08:52 PM
Christian is a beast.  If they don't get rid of him soon he will win his way to the end. 
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: bacali on August 08, 2021, 04:23:53 PM
I knid of think that maybe Christian will be a goner this week.
Britini is again on the block and has won POV, so they have the perfect opportunity to backdoor Christian.

And, watching the show only last night( sorry my tracker was late), you have to wonder how terrible it must feel to have the vote be unanimous against you? And, then right after this hug all these "traitors" and say ... " I love you"?
 :29: Whitney and then  :88:  hahaha
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: LindaM on August 08, 2021, 09:31:09 PM

Christian should be on the block by tomorrow.  Sarah Beth though irritated the group with her actions at the PoV game.  Offered PoV or $5,000 from Derek X., she took the $5,000 and now Derek X. is the keeper of the bathroom.  They have to wake him up when they need to go, he has to blow a herald's horn, announce that so and so has to go, and unlock the door.  He then must thank them when they leave.  This started this afternoon and lasts for 24 hours.

Claire got a punishment too but last time I checked it hadn't been revealed.

Yes, thanks for the updates. Should be funny to watch.

I love the bathroom punishment.  Only thing is I would probably pee on myself trying to go to the HOH and wake him up to announce me!!  LOL :57:
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: Snowbird on August 11, 2021, 10:48:50 AM
If I was on there he had better hurry up and unlock the door. 
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: LindaM on August 11, 2021, 09:37:16 PM
I'm still doing the blogs if anyone cares.  I'm also putting a few spoilers in.

Tomorrow night's show is going to be over the top.  Christian isn't happy and the Kings still want the teams to be playing.  Overall, this has lived up to the previous weeks and reminds me of years ago (Evel Dick/Four Horsemen).

I like the cast this year, too. It's so diverse.
Not sure I am going to like this other new twist where America votes. I usually am skeptical when they do this because I don't know if they are being honest or trying to manipulate their favorite players. ??
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: Snowbird on August 13, 2021, 03:42:34 PM
Who do you all think America will vote for?  I  think it might be Dereck X or Sarah Beth.  I would vote for Azah.
Title: Re: General discussion

I worry since the persons getting the most votes are going to become targets!!

Breakdown is in my blogs.

I'm getting a little tired of Tiffany and Xavier.  They have too much control.  Kyland is too cocky.
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: bacali on August 16, 2021, 03:32:29 PM
Sometimes these twists can be so confusing. And, honestly if CBS likes a hg more than another hg, they can tell us anyone got the most votes /or tell this hg or that hg this. I don't think it's fair.

Meaning.... I don't trust the system!!!  *Nooooo*
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: trouble405 on August 16, 2021, 11:12:11 PM
I like Xavier and I think Tiffany could win the game.  They are a controlling pair but that is part of the game!
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: Snowbird on August 19, 2021, 01:06:12 PM
Why is Tiffany so concerned with Azuh's sympathy for Brittni.  It is only reasonable since they started out on the same team for her to feel close to her.  I really like Azuh and I wish she and Xavier would get together and get rid of some of the others.

Reading through some of our first impressions on this topic, I was struck by how many of my early favorites are no longer the ones I care about! In fact I am looking forward to their exits from the show! Kyland, Tiffany, and Sarah B for sure.

Post by: Snowbird on August 20, 2021, 12:55:40 PM
I'm with you on that Ponytail.  Darn if SB won HOH!  I wanted Azah to win.  I knew it couldn't be Big D.  I wish they would make a game that was compatible with his size.  I am afraid SB might nominate Azah or Big D. 
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: Snowbird on August 23, 2021, 01:09:24 PM
That little short dress with the full skirt SB wears makes her look like an overgrown 10 year old.  And why is Kyland so attached to her?  He acts like she is a Goddess or something.

Snow -- it's worse than you think.  I believe she wore it during the opening intros and claimed to be a fashionista who makes her clothes.  And she was wearing one of those dresses and did the pose.

Now that Derek X is gone, I am finding I have a hard time rooting for anyone. Maybe these next game moves will help sort everything out.
Do you think it will be cookout to the end, with Claire, Sarah B, and Alyssa the next to go?
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: Snowbird on August 28, 2021, 09:16:15 PM
LindaM, Yes I remember her wearing the dress before.  She usually has her hair fixed like a 10-year-old too.  I hope she joins poor Baby D this week.

I think that is what they are intending to do. I just wish Claire would look ...LOOK around her and something would click in her head.
Too bad it clicked with Britini and Derek X when they were in the Jury house.!!

Tiffany did have a master plan , though, but, I really don't want her to win. Neither do I want her to be AFP!!

Post by: ponytail on September 07, 2021, 12:58:18 AM
I honestly don't think Tiff will make it to the end, and I think sneaky snake Kyland will overplay his hand, too. Now if only Xavier will start playing, we might have an interesting last few weeks, 2 weeks of double eliminations is gonna be so fun! I would love to see Tiff and Claire go up on the block and have them vote out Tiff instead!

Kyland is Lyland to me now.  He lies all the time and when he talks, no one understands a thing he's saying.  It's funny but it's not!
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: Snowbird on September 17, 2021, 09:48:29 AM
What a dumb move by Azar.  Didn't she realize that the guys are working together and they would vote out Hannah.  The only way Hannah could win was to win the Veto and that wasn't likely.   Now Azar is out next unless she wins Veto.
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: LindaM on September 17, 2021, 09:07:45 PM
Kyland will have no friends on jury if he makes it that far.  Maybe he should rethink the word-speak and tone down the rhetoric.
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: bacali on September 22, 2021, 04:32:12 PM
What are your thoughts about DerekF?
 He is in the F4 and as far as I am concerned has done absolutely nothing on the show. He sits around looking so self assured because he's a member of the Cook out, maybe thinking that someone will take him to F2 just because he hasn't a resume and won nothing.??
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: LindaM on September 23, 2021, 09:18:41 PM
Truthfully, Azar and Derek are all in the same boat.  If X makes it to final two, he wins.
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: Snowbird on September 24, 2021, 02:59:31 PM
Bacali you are right about Derek doing nothing but he doesn't think so.  He thinks he has been the one almost in charge of what has happened.  He talks about Azar but at least she won a comp when she really needed it.  We might get the opportunity of watching him describe all he "has done" if he goes to the final two.
Title: Re: General discussion
Post by: LindaM on September 26, 2021, 09:20:26 PM
See tonight's recap for how he feels about his part of the game.

Well, we did get his resume. He kept the game going and was friendly to everyone and was the comedy they needed........ :ecomcity: :ecomcity:
