I'm legit checking out for awhile unless Nicole wins POV (or even better Janelle wins POV and saves Nicole so she can accept that some people actually like her). Like I'll pay attention on Twitter just to see if something happens but this poo poo ain't healthy. Between Memphis being scum, players like Nicole, Kevin, and Day being so stupid, and the smug comfortable players benefiting from it all its just bad BB.

If ever there was a situation crying out for a bit of production fuckery it’s this. Maybe if someone awful like Cody or Memphis win the veto the Hand of Grod will intervene.

If not it’s pretty easy to imagine a scenario where this season becomes completely unwatchable for two months.

At this stage it seems like Kevin's just running around the house telling everyone how Kaysar and Janelle orchestrated all of this and he saw them laughing about it and how they're complete pieces of poo poo while Dani, Cody, etc eat it up. Like Day's going to Dani and saying "Janelle is pretending she wants to get Nicole F out" and Dani's all "Nicole loves her! I had no idea!" Its one half clueless and one half shameless.

Its really weird seeing Dani say "Janelle has no emotions, she's horrible" after watching Janelle actually get emotional about the idea of Dani lying to her. I never expected this season to end up with like Janelle as the sympathetic underdog who was being buried by a real life friend.

Janelle and Kaysar basically have no one, right? Nicole A looks too traumatized to truly accept that she is wanted by them despite Janelle staring directly into her eyes and saying, "we're on the same side, I am working you, here is information" multiple times. Is it now a waiting game for all the crossover alliances to eventually interfere with each other and fracture off to land elsewhere? Will anyone work with Jaysar?

Nicole goes back and forth. But it’s basically pointless at this stage because unless she wins POV or one of them wins POV and takes her off she’s going home. Ironically because everyone’s scared shitless if Janelle and recognize that taking out Nicole is the next best thing to hurt her. It’s all very stupid when you think about including that the one thing that might convince Nicole is if she gets their votes in a 10-2 eviction.

No one wants to work with Janelle. No one. They’re all either completely terrified of her, holding petty grudges, or want to dethrone “the queen” (exactly what Dani said her goal was this season in pregame interviews). Or they’re just Kevin and Day and have no idea what’s happening but are convinced they do and are getting completely played.

Christmas wants to work with Kaysar, but she wants to get Janelle and Nicole out so Kaysar has no one else. Memphis wants to use Kaysar. Beyond that I don’t see anyone working with him unless he has power. And now people like Day and Kevin are trashing him and assigning bullshit to him so his house position is worsening.

Only way Janelle and Kaysar make jury is if they win stuff and/or someone else self destructs. Memphis won’t be enough. There’s a decent chance those three are the next three out after Nicole.

I really, really dislike Kevin.

edit: For the sake of content and updates.

- Janelle spent 3 hours trying to convince Memphis to work with Nicole A and backdoor Nicole F. Memphis repeatedly rejected this but constantly mentioned how angry he was Christmas ruined his chance to backdoor Ian and more that Nicole F saved him from picking a Have Not.

- Kevin has spent the same 3 hours relentlessly telling Nicole A she was a fool to trust Janelle and that Janelle's a "predator" and a "bitch" and "gross" and she's masterminded all of this and Nicole invites people to bully her and take advantage of her and just generally making Nicole feel like complete poo poo while also making Janelle out to be the devil.

- Dani's taken huge advantage of this and pushed what an emotionless beast Janelle is and how they need to get her out next.

- Memphis told Cody that Janelle and Kaysar were onto Cody's core and were trying to split the house and they laughed at what a fool Janelle is and awesome they are bro bro bro. Cody's super choked up about the way Memphis treated David and Nicole A. Oh wait, no he's not. That's just bullshit he told them. He doesn't care, bro. Memphis is savage, bro.

- Cody's pushing for a Kaysar backdoor.

Cody's now making a HARD press to the whole house to get Kaysar backdoored. He's freaked out because Memphis told him Kaysar and Janelle know about his Core Four. Cody told Dani if they get HOH one of them is going home no matter what so he wants one of them out now if the POV is in play.

The perfect end to this week would probably be Janelle winning POV, pulling Nicole off, Kaysar getting backdoored, and then Kevin convincing Nicole that it was all Janelle's plan.

Tyler joining in on the shitheel game by telling David that Janelle has betrayed Nicole A and is "throwing her to the wolves". Earlier today Tyler seemed to get real upset at the way Memphis treated David and Ovi revealed on twitter that the two of them have a pre-game alliance and everyone praised Tyler. So Tyler up to his usual game of manipulating personal relationships. But I guess that's the beauty of the Tyler, Cody, Nicole F, and Dani alliance. If they're all snakes you can't pick the better player.

edit: loving Kevin just compared Janelle to Michie. gently caress, I'm really growing to really, really not like this guy.

Yeah, I'm think I'm done rooting for him now. I really hope there's a backdoor because I'm not ready to see either David or Nicola leave just yet. Nicole F backdoor is preferable but if it ends up being Kaysar then I guess that'll work.

EDIT: gently caress that; get Kevin out! Bay just had a chat with Janelle and Kaysar and threw Kevin under the bus. They're all on the same page now, yess let's goooo

Janelle thinks he's not a comp threat so it sounds like they want to use him and feed him misinformation instead of just getting him out.

Nicole A just finished a talk with Memphis and they sorted some stuff out, basically he's saying let's just wait to see what happens with POV and if it doesn't get used or she's still up on the block he doesn't think anyone is gunning for her... which isn't true Nicole F clearly hates and wants Nicole A out buuuuut she screwed over Memphis so maybe that's his motivation against targeting Nicole A. Which means David is in danger of going home if there isn't another target! DAVID, WIN THE POV.

I haven't seen this but last night Bay was upset and told Day she was changing her game up because of "that". It wasn't clear what she was referring to or what she meant but its not out of the question that she might have a cleared read on the house than Day does. I think she has had better reads this season but Day keeps talking her out of them.

Cody's logic is that Janelle/Kaysar have them pegged so Memphis needs to take the shot, but he's not because he's working a side thing. He says HOHs who waste weeks on soft targets piss him off.

Enzo mockingly pointed out the hypocrisy of this with the simple "you took out Keesha" line last night, but yeah, Cody's obviously a hypocritical tool. He can excuse the Janelle/Kaysar thing as a shot he wanted to take and couldn't, but at the very least its a joke for Cody to be upset that Memphis is double dealing when Cody's got like 7 named alliances at this stage. The Commission, The Roots, Connect 4, the Hard Six, The Core Four, The Downlomance, and as of yet TBD names for Dani, Franzel, and his Enzo/Tyler Brigade tribute band.

Ian, Franzel, and Tyler playing POV. I'd say that's a bad draw but really, the best case scenario here was Janelle/Kaysar using POV on Nicole and the other going up. So the only "good way" for this week to go is for Kevin to go up and somehow get voted out. Which seems very unlikely to me.

To answer questions, no I don't think Ian would use POV on Nicole A. Nicole's tried to talk game with him and in her words "he runs away." He also seems very much under the thumb of Franzel who wants Nicole A gone BAD. I could see Franzel convincing Ian to take David down as a show of trust and loyalty to get in with the group though. Tyler will absolutely use it on David and Franzel probably will to to try and get Janelle backdoored. Its pretty much a lock for a Janelle/Kaysar backdoor IF Memphis is willing to do it.

Its nearly 100 in LA so POV is probably gonna be late again.

I've heard enough people on both sides complaining about him, so maybe the whole house will turn on Kevin and they'll backdoor him instead. That is the only possible net positive outcome of this week that I can see

Kevin goes if Nicole wins POV and Memphis doesn't want to make a move so puts Kevin up. Then Kevin might go home 12-0 unless Cody's crew overthink it. But Cody and Co would spend 2 days DRILLING for Memphis to backdoor one of Janelle/Kaysar. That's probably the best case scenario because like maybe Memphis will get pissed off or something and do something crazy.

If its Nicole/Kevin its a 10-2 vote Nicole goes home. Maybe 9-3 if Bay gets on board. Maybe 4 if Day does. But Cody and Co really want Nicole out because Janelle likes her and nice people make mean people viscerally uncomfortable.

Lastdancer
Apr 21, 2008
If Nicole stays on the block... Honestly maybe it's for the best that she goes home. She really doesn't seem interested in working with Janelle and Kaysar based on the various chances they've given her, and if she's going to stick to Kevin she's just going to get played. I like her, she's great, but in terms of the game I just don't see it working out unless she has a change of heart.

Listening to this conversation with Cody, Tyler and David about the movie "Just Go With It". Why am I not surprised Cody is an Adam Sandler fan? Got a chuckle out of Cody slowing down his description of Sandler's character as he starts to realize how lovely that character actually is.

Ok, random but potentially important note.

Late last night Dani approached Janelle about forming a 6 person alliance with Kaysar, Franzel, Tyler, and Cody. Since then Janelle has told Kaysar, Bayleigh, and Memphis about this as evidence that the Four really do exist and are trying to play everyone. It remains to be seen what Memphis or Bayleigh do with this. They could get suspicious of the Four or they could assume this is Janelle lying as Kevin and Day have tried so hard to tell the house she’s been doing nonstop.

Dani’s really working hard right now but I have a feeling she’s overreaching. She seems convinced she can manipulate everyone in the house and convince them all she’s not even playing, and its been working for awhile. But Janelle is onto her now and while no one is really listening to her its only Week 2 and Dani seems to think she can do anything she wants right now. That usually ends badly.

Nicole A’s telling everyone in the house the stuff Janelle and Kaysar have told her including trying to get Nicole F backdoor. Its somewhat of a lateral move since targets and sides remain the same and Janelle tested Nicole A asking her if Kevin was saying anything about them and Nicole lied. But still.

Despite this Janelle and Kaysar are still trying to save Nicole. They figure they have a shot if they can get Franzel on the block after POV. But they pretty much know they’re hosed. They more or less are resigned to the fact that Memphis isn't REALLY their ally in any meaningful way but they still don’t seem to be able to grasp the possibility that Memphis is just working with Cody’s crew. Which to be fair, is understandable since its clearly such a bad game plan for Memphis.
https://twitter.com/powerofcheeto2/status/1294808474627584010

Memphis apparently “grabbed” David during the POV picks and everyone’s buzzing about it. At this rate Memphis is gonna get himself thrown out of the house this week or something. Bay’s also talking about “a man” who snapped at her in the kitchen. I’d be shocked if that wasn’t Memphis. Cody’s telling everyone how upset he is while high fiving Memphis in HOH. Its very reminiscent of BB18 when everyone was pissed at Frank and Paulie was pretending to be upset while being Frank’s buddy.

Meanwhile Cody’s pissed off that Janelle and Kaysar are playing and that Bayleigh is talking to him and he’s lining BayDay to become the targets after S6 are dispensed of.

Kaysar: Why are you so tired?"
Janelle: I'm 40.

Its now nearly 11 PM BBT (and 2 AM for me) and still no POV. My guess is this is less of a design and more of a result of smaller production crews. But who knows? Maybe its like that late night electric chair one from the first All Stars? Either way its way past Memphis' bedtime.

Ian's punishment for getting the +1 in the Safety comp is that he has to act out scenes from a space opera called "BB All Star Wars". Some of the scenes require a second actor and as with all these punishments everyone's all cheers and participation at the start and then get over it real quick. Maybe tomorrow I'll try and find all the clips and give you guys links, but I'm tired now and generally sick of this cast.

Ian is really into it, just as he was in the dog costume in BB14. But this time he gets to do it for a week. It's already opened him up more socially so hopefully we can get some good Ian content to counterbalance the lovely undercurrents of the house right now.

Memphis won POV.

All indications are he has no interest in using it. Cody has been pushing to backdoor Janelle. Janelle has been pushing to backdoor Franzel. He’s consistently said to both it’s too early for a backdoor. Presumably he just wants to keep playing the middle so he’s probably not gonna use it and pick a side. So barring something like David/Nicole A selling him on a deal or someone selling him on getting rid of Kevin that’s probably that. And Nicole is pretty much screwed. They’d have to flip Christmas, Day, and Bay and they’d all be going against the rest. Probably not happening unless the whole house explodes.

Kevin assures her she’s 99% safe.
