I'm annoyed that Bowie literally said she tried to throw the tie-breaker for HOH. She wants to just keep being a floater that never made decisions or pissed off anyone. She said I want Cam and Cory to be the ones that go after each other and leave me be, and I do not like that "game play" of doing nothing. I agree that people like Cameron deserve to be there more + make it more fun to watch. I'm still confused on the timeline, there's like 9 people left but only 3 weeks, there has to be more double evictions coming.... Everything about Bowie last night was the worst. She literally told Cameron that she doesn't want any blood on her hands (I hate that phrase lol), but like... how do you expect to move through the game without making literally any moves? I mean, I know floaters do. But then she didn't even attempt to talk to Cam about whatever Jag/Matt told her to make think he doubts her loyalty, after being adamant on Sunday nights show that she didn't want to backdoor Cam because he always kept her safe. All last night I kept thinking, how is Bowie a lawyer irl if she's this easily persuaded? 😬 Maybe she's not a very good one and that's why she DJ's on the side. 🤷♀️ Ultimately I'm just mad that Cam is leaving tomorrow and I might as well not even watch the rest of the season because I don't like the rest of the cast enough to care. 😤 (I will finish it tho. I've already invested too much time to not see it through!)

twopeas There are so many bad lawyers in the world. It doesn't shock me that she's a terrible game player. lol. It really is a bummer that Cam is leaving. But honestly it is partly his fault for having such terrible social game play.

I actually haven't loved Zingbot much in recent years. So many of the zings are physical appearance based and I hate that. It is lowbrow and lazy humor that requires no real talent. Like commenting on Bowie's teeth was so shitty.

So I recently got Paramount+ since I had Showtime and Paramount bought Showtime. Thus now I can watch any season of BB that I want. I went back to season 5. And holy shit, the difference between reality TV in 2004 and now, almost 2 decades later, is jarring. In only the first TWO episodes, I noted the following:
-Cowboy and Nokomis being secret siblings - I remembered that these two were siblings but I had totally forgotten that it was a surprise and the show just let them figure it out themselves. Talk about emotional exploitation with no mental health support! And then after Cowboy figured it out, he told the other guys who then all proceeded to call Nokomis into a room and tell her while surrounded by 5 guys instead of just a personal talk with Cowboy. So fucked up. Sooooo fucked up.
-There is a segment where Marvin is trying to hold hands with Holly while simultaneously trying to massage Adria in front of him and his DR segment is talking about how he's working his way with the women and such. It is clear that both women were not consenting to his touch and it was so uncomfortable. Now there is no way that production would allow the clear non-consented sexual touch.
-The super dude bros were speculating about Will being gay and made the comment "He's gay but not like SO gay that we have to worry about it LOL!" and all laughed. As if gay men were in the practice of trying to hit on super macho clearly straight bros after what I'm sure was an adolescence from hell. And continued jokes about him being gay but "I couldn't even tell!" etc.
-Mike, also talking about Will being gay, says he's a "Rush conservative" and he's fine with Will being gay because "I don't think I'm his type anyway." ..... again with the straight men just assuming gay people like to flirt with obviously straight people.
It is interesting to me how I watched all this in real time and thought nothing of it because I was a teenager and it was just how the world was then. And now watching it I'm like what the actual fuck. So I guess that is a good thing because it means progress? ha.

Omg did I actually laugh out loud multiple times in this episode? What is happening?! Chenbot (albeit stumbling through multiple words multiple times) went off script and showed a personality?! Shocked!

Not that anyone doesn’t already automatically assume Matt or Jag won based on the comp, Jag has also told Cory and America, as well as Bowie. So 5 out of the 8 HGs know Jag is HOH from Jag himself.

That is stupid that they did Comics for HOH instead of Veto. And of course it was Jag. Seems like Cory is going home then unless he wins veto, eh?

Jag put up Felicia and Blue. He is pretending he is not the HOH to Blue, even after he has told 4 other people in the house that it is not him. Jag is gonna Jag I guess 🤷🏻♀️ I wonder how long it will take for Blue to learn that it was Jag.

No I think as of right now he is planning on targeting Blue. Not really sure why. I think he still keeps thinking he wants to keep dragging Cory along as a shield as long as he can. There’s obviously still plenty of time for him to change his mind and put one of Cory or America up, especially with the way that Cory and America play (they almost always end up saying something to someone that they shouldn’t).

It looks like there will be two veto competitions. The winner of the first veto likely doesn’t get to compete in the second one.
Everyone gets to play since the HOH is supposed to be invisible, they have to allow each HG a chance to play as if they were the HOH.
Noms now have 2 chances to save themselves, but they are also up against a lot more people, so I guess it all evens out in the end 🤷🏻♀️

Jag won the 1st veto and Blue won the 2nd veto. It seems that as the first winner, Jag is given the advantage of playing his power of veto second, so he could undo something done by Blue if he doesn’t like it.

I was reading that he told her he was HOH and told her he’s gonna let her take herself down and he’ll take down Felicia and he’s gonna put up Cory and America in their place. He told the same to Felicia.

The only people who don’t know are Cory, America and Felicia - Felicia has a punishment in solitary confinement right now. Cirie also has some punishment that involves rolling from one side of the backyard to the other? 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I love Cory and America but they have made so so so many mistakes, so I’m ready to see the end of their game together. Cory should obviously be the one to go, which means there will be 5 females to the 2 males of Matt and Jag in the house. I am SO excited about the chances of getting one (or more) of Cirie and Felicia to the final two!

junch817 Ah my bad I didn’t clock the link, haha. But I agree, I appreciated that Cory was willing to change things up and America wasn’t afraid to speak her mind but…. Yeah they haven’t done anything to help themselves stay in the game. I AM annoyed blue isn’t going before them though since she is everything that I dislike about recruited players.

Jag telling Felicia about his final plans for the week….. x.com/bbliveupdaters/status/1713751373592801534?s=46&t=8S0yFm54JVxJGP24BKnfVwJag went about the process of getting Cory and America OTB in probably the worst possible way, but it’s happening 😂 I’m sure Matt appreciates the shit show he has made out of this week (telling everyone he was HOH, including Cory and America, putting Blue OTB in the first place, lying to Blue for 2 days about being the HOH while everyone else knew, lying to Cory and America about his plans, etc etc etc)

Well feeds were down for 2 whole hours for the veto comp. America and Cory are OTB. There was some excitement afterwards but feeds weren’t on for it. Cory tried to go up to HN to talk to Jag/Matt/Blue but America didn’t want to go. He asked Matt if he cared and Jag was like I kinda don’t want to do this more than once and basically shut him down lol Again with the terrible gaming. He left with Blue and now Cory is at least talking to Matt. There was this amazing brief bathroom encounter where Jag said to America let me know when you want to talk, and America simply said “literally fuck off" and stormed out and Jag singsonged “perfect” 😂🤣 Video is below x.com/toomsbb_/status/1714017388658843836?s=46&t=8S0yFm54JVxJGP24BKnfVw

Wow. Ok I came here to say how utterly disappointed I was that he didn't put up Corey And America in the first place, but I suppose I'm happy now that they are up. Right when they read about the "secret" HOH I said - 90% of them will know within a day. Of course I was right, they are so predictable. And it ruins the fun. He could have easily put up C&A from the jump and tacked all the blame on Blue since they were already sus as hell about her time. Then when you're trying to sway the jury at the end is when you're like bam bitch I took you out and you didn't even know. I do still really like M&J though, Matt more so.

It’s completely unfair that Jag gets to compete in HOH this week. The only way I would be ok with it would be if he was ONLY allowed if it was kept a secret from everyone. If he tells, the anonymity is done, and that perk should not qualify for another chance at HOH. Last time when Claire won secret HOH, she was told she had to throw the HOH comp the following week. I don’t understand why they would make the secret HOH comp one so incredibly geared towards the physically fit HGs in the first place, let alone allow that HOH to compete again the following week. And you watch, this Thursday will be another physical comp too 🙄

It blows my mind that Matt and Jag can be such terrible social players and yet also be better than most of the house? Like, person-wise, Cory and America seem like decent people. Matt has proved multiple times that he's got some questionable sources for his beliefs and doesn't treat women the best. Jag just is coasting by on his ability to win competitions at this point since Matt literally is the only reason he is still in the house by winning that one comp.
I can't believe Cirie is still there. I don't love her but at this point I kinda hope they string her along and she wins. Or Felicia. She can be their Victoria and maybe this year she'd win. Ha.

Just in case viewers were forgetting that Matt has gross reads on women in general, and quotes disgusting D list celebrities who podcast…
Basically the people in power this week have been “punching down” (as Maggie from RHAP puts it…. people in power can’t make fun of those who have less than, but it’s ok for those that are struggling or who have less than can “punch up”) and it’s just been disappointing. Of course you can expect America and Cory to be upset, but for Jag and Matt and FREAKING BLUE WHO WAS ON THE BLOCK to be talking about Cory and America the way they’ve been is ridiculous.
But anyway, Jag and Matt were discussing America and Cory throwing away their game for their showmance, and just being so upset in general that they are being split up this week…. Matt says “….I get cheating vibes from America”
😳
Like, what??! What on earth has she done that would ever give off cheater vibes? Gross. Gross. Gross.

Quoting Andrew Tate (not about women, but I mean, he clearly watches his shit), Ryan Lochte being his idol….constantly calling any woman who doesn’t like him back as a bitch….
