I guess it depends on how much interaction the "legend" will have with the HGs but a lot of people seem to be eliminated based on Tweets alone (location, activies, etc.) as they aren't quarantined.

I'm 50/50 on that comment from Julie. My immediate thought was it was sort of damage control for when he gets out of the house, but it also seemed kind of condescending. Either way I think your assessment of "proud mama bear" is pretty accurate.

My 2:15 am deliriously tired theory is that the neighbor's house may be the jury house? Not sure how they could shake things up. The only reason I even consider this as a possibility, is that because of what's going on in the city maybe they had to keep the jury house on the lot for logistical and safety purposes? Maybe?

That's some Village of the Damned business. Translation:" In case you didn't get it last week when Julie mentioned to be kind to one another, this is a reminder that we read Twitter and TMZ and will only address what's going on in the live feed in cryptic send offs. Good night."

@BK1978 Of course Memphis is going to put up at least David or Kevin. And of course one of them will go to jury. Just wishful thinking.

Oh, Nicole, you dumb dumb, do you still not realize that cameras are on you all the time?

I'm gonna grasp at straws of hope and cling to Memphis saying to Nicole, "If you want to hang out with Ian in jury we can make that happen," is a crazy bit of foreshadowing.

Voodoo doll of Xmas!

Ha! I just went to CBS and the picture on the home page doesn't have Nicole, Xmas or Memphis. To be fair it doesn't have a lot of people, but I thought that was interesting.

That's the only new sitcom. The other returning choices, not so great either. That may just be because of my taste in comedy.

If they stick to their schedule B Positive. ETA: I know returning shows that are back, so I assume they will try to stick to the plan until inevitable something happens.

The other fun thing is to bleep things that don't even need to be bleeped. I like this because it goes with my delightful conspiracy theory that Memphis wasn't going to say the N word, but like people on this board and twitter CODY couldn't really understand him and jumped to the conclusion that he was going to say the N word and stopped him. Run with that TMZ!

Adding the bleep is enough of a turd move, but they also abbreviate it "n****r," indicating that he got the whole word out.

@choclatechip45 I think it's a little of column A a little of column B. Production would have to do physical labor. The HG could just lay around and not exert themselves physically, but the air quality is listed as "Unhealthy Air Quality for Sensitive Groups" which is a downgrade from "Smoke." Last update I got about it was just that it was suggested that we limit time outside. Given they are pretty much on lockdown so they're not in danger of the virus, but the smoke is no fun.

I have no idea what he did or didn't say. I have crap hearing so I watch with CC which the live feeds don't have.

I always thought it was a negative term for black people (which I think I picked up from old movies). Turns out it actually started as nickname for people in the Whig party whose symbol was a raccoon. Then it went on to describe Davy Crockett types because of there hats before eventually going full on racist apparently because of a Portuguese term for slave. Being as I'm sure Memphis isn't part of the Whig party and probably not a frontier's man, pretty sure he meant black people. And as it's mostly to do with the slave trade, I would assume it's pretty regional. The more you know.

Don't worry, they'll start soon. 'Twas a late night last night for the no good nicks so they'll need to rest and refuel. Last sirens finished around 4 am PST.

Gotcha. I'm sure CBS is under the same restrictions that all of us are. The temperature dropped. But there was a car fire on the highway last night so my phone still lists the weather as "smoke." I guess that he can't move it inside either as David got a warning the other day about moving furniture.

Does Ian still not have a hammock? This was on Twitter, but I don't know if it's an old photo. https://twitter.com/BB_Updates/status/1305592060238413824/photo/1

As if stuff in the house wasn't tense enough, a new fire just started not far from the studio. So another fun night of sirens and smoke.

You are correct! I have zero idea what they have actually been told about THESE fires. But this is fire season in CA. Yes, that is a season. So it would not be out of the ordinary for Kevin, who is a resident of the area, to know this. To the extent that they know about the fires I have no idea. There have been no evacuation orders at this point, so the show must go on?

Gah! Sorry, third comment in a row. First, I agree with everything you have to say. I don't wear a mask in my home (one other occupant) but when we go out we wear masks and follow all the other protocol. I'd rather be extra cautious than willy nilly. Yeah, it's not fun or great, but it's at the very least a common courtesy. Second, I honestly don't know how these HG aren't wearing masks when they go into the yard. I walked to the store today to get some basics. I passed several people not wearing masks. I was courteous and stopped or moved to give them distance. When I got home I took off my mask and it had a bunch of ash on it. So in this area, it's not just the virus, it's also the fires. I know that they want to show the contestants faces and also Julie's face to make it seem like things are "normal." They are not normal.

I hate to get into this as a) I still haven't read all the comments and b) I'm not privy to all the info and c) I'm sort of a jerk sometime. That being said. We can all have our opinions of what happened and how it was filmed, but we don't actually know if Cody knew about the death before he read the letter and what was in the entire letter. I agree with the person up thread who said that Cody knew his Pop pop was ill and so just the first sentence could have been enough (also the fact that the letter device has been used before). But also the rest of the letter could have gone on to say that his family asks/tells him to keep playing. Maybe someone else has more info on the letter. And, per the privacy comment, and like I said I feel like a jerk for saying this, but there's one place in that house that they can go where the cameras aren't allowed. Sure they couldn't get away from the HG, but they could at least have sometime to be alone.

You and I are simpatico on all of this. With Julie's send off, I was like, "Am I watching Ellen?" And I immediately texted my friend about the Thelma and Louise thing. But my thought was also, that T&L were running from having killed (rightfully so) a man. So you know murder friends -- maybe she meant that they should both have sex with Brad Pitt? And total trainwreck.

Wow! Well then they clearly weren't outside yesterday. Yesterday was MUCH worse.
