Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I don't think Sam's sweetness is an act. I just think she's a human being with a complicated personality. She is sweet AND she is nasty.

I agree with all of those things and get where everyone is coming from. I just think Bay got crazy worked up. I also give someone who is not white/American/ a small amount of wiggle room that I would not if it was Tyler/Scottie/Bret.

I don't think the issue was that JC said it. Bay was pretty calm in the immediate aftermath of it. The issue is that he kept defending his use of it and accused Bay of being over sensitive. And eventually Bay just became overwhelmed by it. The whole thing went on for like an hour in real time. And everyone else in the house just kept saying "Why doesn't he just apologize?"

JC isn't a racist, he's just an obnoxious stubborn rear end in a top hat with some cultural holes.

I was wrong to imply she is faking. I feel it's more the common mistake among southerners mistaking being polite and being genuinely kind and good-hearted.

I mean, I think she is kind and good hearted in the sense that she seems to have genuine conversations and relationships and empathy for people. But she's also got a temper and a self righteous patronizing tone and apparently some misogynistic views of how men and women are "supposed" to act.

People are complicated. It wouldn't be the first person who seemed awesome in a lot of ways but was kind of lovely in a few ways. Life is about growing as a person and getting less terrible.

In today's system of political correctness, it's important to find one's proper place in the hierarchy of victimhood. The bigger the victim you are, the more important you are and the more everyone must listen to everything you say and respect you. Bayleigh was naturally offended, as JC's use of the N word meant that he was disrespecting her place near the top of the hierarchy. JC, on the other hand, fought to demonstrate that his level of victimhood was equal to or greater than hers, allowing him to use any word he wanted.

CBS, of course, devoted a large amount of screen time to all of this, because victimhood is serious business, the importance of which cannot be overestimated.

That doesn't surprise me too much. I think that's kind of in like the same category as trans or mentally disabled slurs that a lot of people were ignorant to until very recently.

Plus Bay's also said stuff like describing Fessy as "off the boat" so...

Sam lives alone in a trailer. She's not someone who should be spouting relationship advice.
She was much more likeable as a robot.

Oh, Fessy. You big dummy.

Although I'm taking a hard stance against "I threw it." You can't throw it if you were already losing, Kaitlyn. In fact, even if you're telling the truth and intentionally got the last question right all you did was increase the chances of Fessy tying with someone else and make sure it wasn't going to be you. You megalomaniacal dummy.

As disappointed as I am in Sam's actions/words/views I'm actually kind of impressed that CBS/BB didn't protect her at all. They easily could have softened that or edited it out entirely. They've done it before. The choose to let the Fan Favorite show her rear end.

Love or hate the guy, JC has balls and doesn't go down without a fight. Sometimes the biggest thing you can do in Big Brother is just whine your way off the block. Ask Nicole.

Either Tyler somehow flipped JC to vote with L5 to keep her or JC's just throwing a hinky vote to play games.

But I have no idea at all because I was 100% certain JC was voting out Kaitlyn and sure about absolutely no other votes.

Except the guy who spent the entire week desperately trying to get her evicted who also was the only person who voted for her to stay.

Its JC. He'll probably pin it on both of them to different people.

I hope the challenge is just a question asking if she really sees “Color” and when she presses yes it tells her she’s evicted.
