Arya

I'd rather see Clay leave than Shelli, just for my own personal enjoyment for the rest of this season. I really want to see Shelli vs. Vanessa towards the end. That would be really great. Is there any chance at all that Austin would get put up?

Yea, she's been great in small amounts that she was in the house. I hope she lives up to my expectations. At least she won't have to put on that whiny voice to pretend she was Liz.

I hope that James at least makes some deals to keep himself safe NEXT week. I don't like him all that much, but I have a soft spot for him for making that breakfast for Audrey when she wasn't feeling "well".

I hope we see some new blood in the HOH room this week. (See what I did there?) I'm sick of seeing the same people camping out in the HOH room. This way Meg will have a new place to sleep all day......

I knew I'd like Julia more once she joined the game full time. I hope Austin goes this week!

I'm just sad that James is from the town I grew up near. Although it doesn't surprise me.... It is also sad that Da'Vonne might get cut loose so quickly. She brought some of it on herself, but it would be way more interesting if she stayed.

I thought the whole exchange was about Emily being the hot girlfriend and Emily and Ben were just teasing each other.

Hi everyone! Another former TWoPer here. I mostly lurked on the forums at TWoP, but I'm trying to be more bold here and starting to post more. So, I have a confession. I tried out for the Amazing Race two weeks ago at an open casting call in the Dallas area. I actually got to try out this time, which was great! I tried once a couple of years back in San Francisco, but I didn't even get to try out there because after waiting in line for 4-5 hours, they shut it down and said they were done with the casting call and weren't taking any more people. I was wondering if anyone here has ever tried out for the Race? I have no expectations that I'll actually get picked for the show, but I thought it would be a fun thing to do.

I remember him as the actor who played Will, the hot neighbor, on the show Privileged.

I too would like to join in to say a huge thank you to everyone here for making this forum so much fun! This discussion thread sometimes feels like the only reason I still care/watch Big Brother. I was devastated when TWoP shut down, but I'm so glad I found another home here. To keep this on topic, OMG please don't let the finale turn into the freaking Grande television hour. As much as I don't really like any of the final three, that would be way worse.

Now I'm hoping and wishing that Cody wins and takes Victoria to F2. Cody's game would make some sense then. I know it's not going to happen, but this is it, the one time Cody thinking for himself would work for him. If only he would think for himself AND act on it. C'mon Cody, you can do it. There's no chance that Derrick makes final 2 and loses right? Right?? I just find him to be so dull and disingenuous.

I'd be ok with dead silence. That would be even better than boos.

The saddest part of this season is that I can't stand it if Derrick wins, because I just don't like him and now apparently he'll get even more money by winning. I can't imagine how pissed other winners might be at the thought of Derrick coming out with $575K (500k+50K for "TA"+20k actual TA money + 5K stupid Holla money). I also think all the others are either too vile (Frankie) or just way too stupid to win this game. I'd hate for a really stupid winner to think they played the best game. Sigh. Why do I watch this show again?

From Jokers: 9:08 PM Frankie: I really like that button. Hey Julie, can we get another effing button? I wanna hit it! NT Hahahaha! Oh this is so beautiful.

I just can't see Cody saving Frankie. It would be amazing if he saved Victoria, and then Derrick would go up. Obviously that's never happening, but it would be oh so sweet.

I'm annoyed that these two have the option of making an extra 50K for winning. It doesn't sound like a "team" mission to me and America definitely wasn't consulted. So it makes no sense to me why they'd reward them like this.

This is why this whole thing pisses me off even more. I can't have Frankie thinking that we like him!

I cannot even believe that Frankie or Derrick has a chance to win that much extra money.......based on what "America" voted in the second week of the game! Can we please take our votes back. This just seems so terribly unfair. They need to ask "America" if we're ok with this "mission"....which I can tell you that "we" are not.

They just mentioned it to each other. I could believe it if Frankie had told that to Derrick to save his own hide, but it sounds like they both were discussing it based on their individual DR sessions. I don't know if this is true though. I really hope not.

I just had a horrible thought. What if Derrick wins Veto and takes Frankie off the block. I couldn't stomach that. Bye Victoria, we barely knew ye.

I seriously cannot even right now. I need either Derrick or FRANKIE to leave this week! Preferably both!

From Jokers: 1:35 PM Derr and Frankie talking in WC. Apparently DR has told them that if they are in the F2 together the winner will get a $50K bonusprize ($550K total) due to Team America. W. T. F. I really really really hope this is not true. I guess they're trying to make the finale slightly interesting by adding this incentive to freaking keep Frankie. Oh seriously, even more: From Jokers: 1:37 PM Derrick in BR & Frankie enters Der: no pressure, its unbelievable (they hug) Frankie: They love us Der: it doesnt change anything, we still gotta get there Frankie: oh I know that but more so than ever this is like Der: affirmation Frankie: affirmation that they seen all how hard we worked NOOO. You did not work hard at all! We don't like you! Arrrgghhh.

From Jokers: Victoria continues to go over her speech again and again by herself. Loves her family, you betrayed me, best of luck, etc. NT So it looks like Victoria is actually going to go along with this whole "I HATE DERRICK HE BETRAYED ME" nonsense, even in her speech tonight.

I can't recall Caleb ever saying "Hearrrrrd that" either. Maybe it's the voices in his head.

From Jokers 8:01 PM Earlier in BR HGs were talking about their catch phrases. Caleb is SURE he says "Hearrrrd that" a lot but no one agrees. Derr says his are "At the end of the day" and "Simple." They joke about getting tattoos. Caleb asks Derrick to back him up that he says "hearrrd that." Ok so Derrick is at least aware of how much he says that. I did chuckle at that.
