LOL! That was a coffee spitting wake-me-up. Thanks!

If the houseguests are thinking ahead about a possible buyback, they should bounce Jessica (ed. or WhistleNut) next so one of them stays gone.

I'm hoping one of our feed watchers can fill us in!

She gets to replace one player in the Veto competition, but only once for the season.

As much as I dislike Paul; watching "helpless" Cody and crying Jessica made my day. It's impossible to tell how many tries were made and which one was really easiest. I would have also gone with the wide ramp curve. The straight one was too skinny. Lying and backstabbing are the way this game is played Jessica dear. Kevin just showed how it's done, throwing heat onto Ramses. Gee Cody for someone who doesn't like "victim noises" you certainly are making a lot of them. Good move Josh. That sympathy is worth gold. Cody shows what a scumbag he is and Jessica is a word I choose not to use. Then she ducks out of the HOH charade (ed. to whine in the DR). Cody glaring like a psychokiller. Nice edit, show. Bad idea Paul, this is playing with fire. Mark is right. Put up Cody's allies and backdoor him. That horror movie voice is just too cheesy. Voodoo dolls are cool! Elena's doll has matching boobs. LOL. What a crappy temptation! Just a one shot deal. If she refused it (like anybody would after Paul got safety) would she be eligible for future temptations.? Face it Jess, America doesn't like you. I hope we get to vote on a curse this season. Nice job Christmas picking the 3 loser amigos to wear the costume. I hope these people realize that Paul has to go once his safety runs out. He can't win HOH every time. Smart move Paul. Don't bully your allies. Alex has to go along. No Paul. You proved last season winning is not luck. You picked the wrong person for F2 and lost :) With Josh and Alex on board, this should work. I agree that this is a good spot for Ramses to free himself from his curse. Could Paul have changed the noms after he revealed it? Ramses still could throw a wrench into the plan.

A legend in his own mind.....

This would be a good strategery to make Cody think Ramses was the target, but only if Ramses was in on the deception and playing along. Paul is too much of an a**hole to do that. Seems like Ramses has excellent goat potential.

Just checking. With Ramses as a third nominee, there are 10 votes this week with Paul as HOH tiebreaker?

Josh seems way more fragile than Alex and it buys Paul some loyalty. He would be a basket case until Thursday otherwise. I could also see Cody intimidating him enough to DOR. Alex will campaign hard to stay and should cruise to an easy win. ETA: thanks for all the updates, feedsters :)

OT Today, 7/7/17 is Ringo Starr's 77th birthday. This grand scheme of Paul's has too many parts. It will be fun to watch if Cody stays.

Yes, but I think Rasputin was taller :)

Starcrossed!

Dead spider, heh, Brooke building a better bed. Of course! That terrain is ferocious. The slug bros. More hiking boredom. Almost another injury tap out. Oy. The producers really underestimated the difficulty of this hiking "twist". 10 miles is just way too far in those conditions. We did not need the education on the uses of moss, thank you. Why was Sam dragging an ax through the cold jungle!?!? I'm not sure even a machete would work in that mess. I couldn't stand being cold and wet all the time. Then there's a cougar sizing you up for dinner. That boat frame looks way too small dude. Good score on the netting Brooke, and then Dave arrives. It doesn't matter where his voice is coming from, just keep yelling. Bang on your pot! They look good for the win. Glad Axeless Sam got to Dad. 9 days. Damn.

Candy Crush promo challenge! Of course. I'll be off to "Alone" :)

Jess - ugh Jason - scumbag moron Kevin - Yay! Matt - Take that backstabber Raven - ditto Paul - no surprise Ramses - dummy Dom - Nice Alex - Stupid, fight the real enemy Elena - no surprise Mark - Steroidboy sees the light! Josh - Ok then Bye bye Jillian! Cody has a controlled spasm. It's a Cootie Taw!

I'm really hating on Jessica tonight. Cody could have been a bit more subtle throwing that competition. Wouldn't Kevin be a mer-man? That was funny as hell. Cody is super weird. This love/hate thing with Alex is strange. Doesn't look like she is falling for it. Just go with the flow and nail him when you can, Alex. He obviously has some oddball crush going on so use that to your advantage. Bummer for Ramses. I understand the fear of snakes, but c'mon people, it's plaster! I have a plaster rattlesnake ashtray with blue eyes. Being one of three nominees does dilute the vote. He needs to find a bigger target to sit next to. Jason should keep his stupid hat on. Or go with a baseball cap. I hope Cody's Grand Scheme goes seriously off the rails and he or Jess is gone next week. Ring of Replacement. Does the holder name a replacement nominee if the Veto is used? Calls Jess Alex. LOL Hyperactive Paul doing his annoying thing and...... BOOM! The pendant is automatic! Nice touch. Screw you Cody. Like you wouldn't have gone after Christmas next week if you got Paul out. I can't decide if I dislike Paul or Cody more. This should produce some fireworks. Going live!

Glad to hear Christmas is back and probably not being evicted tomorrow. I hope the show clears up some of the Amulet/Curse details tonight. I wonder if they will turn her injury and return into a cliffhanger and milk it for ratings..

Andy Warhol. "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes". Of course, few things are really new: "An older version of the same concept in English is the expression "nine days' wonder", which dates at least as far back as the Elizabethan era." Is there any real money to be made from YouTube/Instagram fandom? AdBlocker is my friend :)

I assume they still have the spy-cam in the HOH room.? Not exactly "power", but a bit of an edge to watch the last few days of scrambling.

Well that was enlightening. Megan should not have gone to Alex, even if Jessica really said "panda". Shut up and sit back and watch. Jessica is not on the block. You are! Then of course her misunderstanding totally torched her. Oh well. No surprise Paul got the temptation choice and then took it. The deflection to Josh is just dumb luck. "The Ring of Replacement" sounds like a Veto with nominating privileges. Kevin is hilarious. Cody is creepy. He's gotta go. I hope Alex is the one to get him booted. Jillian annoys the crap out of me, so do Elena's "hot lips". Interesting how the person getting the consequence from the temptee is randomly chosen. No using it to nail a target.

"...important factor is the consistency of food; liquids and low residue foods are encouraged (for example, applesauce should replace whole apples with intact skins)." Sounds like slop is perfect for her.

So Cody just expanded the target on his back without realizing it was there in the first place? LOL

Depending on who wins the next HOH, will Jessica drop Cody and move on to the next one with power? Sorry to hear about Megan. I liked her, the rest of the house apparently didn't :)

Damn! I had kept up my hope that Shannon would make it. Bummer for Jesse. Don't feel guilty dude. And now to Brooke's Woodland Party Palace...... (I so want to go to Yellowstone....) Sunbathing by the water.....and Mr. Wolf is back. Strengthen your shelter. Finally the Brockdorfs. Poolesville, MD is 33 miles from The White House. Not exactly the middle of nowhere. Dude, you should be working on your permanent sheleter already. Sam. Daddy issues. Not another slip and fall evacuation, whew. Then whacked with a "pond". Nice catch of that salmon. Eating it raw is dangerous. You shouldn't be on this show if you can't make a bleeping fire. You named your kid Presley. (sigh) Whoa! That sounded like a gunshot to me, next thought was a tree/limb falling onto a rock. Seemed too loud for a bear. Dave can make a fire. Imagine that :) Well done Brody crossing that river. OMG! The first reunion at long last. The staccato hiking camerawork didn't seem to bother me as much, or maybe I'm just getting used to it. Stop wasting your bear repellent air horn!

I won't use the words I want to say how much I despise Josh. Good call Xmas on the eviction vote. Know your enemy if you can. Megan seems smart gamewise. She and Xmas need a secret power alliance. Drag in Queen Nicole to rub it in Paul's face. "It's soooo excitiiiiiting". I forgot how much I hate her. Please let this be a one-off appearance, Cowboy gotta go. Interesting Golden Apple temptation. Dislocated finger. Funny (strange/odd) how it's the muscleheads who always seem to be the ones getting hurt C'mon Ramses. If you're a fan, you know challenge beasts are targets. Calm down! I really want to like you! Paul was the only logical choice to try for the HOH on his team. Commando Cody (and his Lost Planet Airmen} kicks ass. "I'll never yell at my kids again" yeah right dickhead. BTW aren't chaps assless by definition? The 3 amigos taking out Paul would help the women. I like Megan. Hang tough. That thing with mamma's boy Joshy in the kitchen was deranged. Then the deranged apology. I know editing rules all, but I missed interrogator Megan asking Cody a question. As always, The Power goes to the new HOH's head.. "I'm going to assemble my team of loyal suck-ups who will carry me on their shoulders to my great and glorious victory!!!" "I'm going to set the tone for the whole game" Spare me the hubris dude. Backdooring Paul would be way cool.
