    Frankie was actually exceptionally good at comps. I think it's easy to forget, but Frankie did very well in many of the comps. I know BB16 was weird with the Battle of the Block comps, but technically, Frankie still won multiple comps that season, and did well in the ones he didn't win. I'd count him as a comp beast, easily. Xavier probably less so, so I'll take that back (I also forgot Xavier was on The Challenge; I guess he's more forgettable to me than I thought because I really thought he comped out at the end of BB23 for some reason). Cameron has done fine at comps, but he didn't start winning comps, or even doing well, until after Hisam left, and Cameron's placements ranged from first to dead last in comps. I know some of those comps he threw but there were some he legitimately lost. 

    Cameron's fine at comps and it's probably the reason why he'll make it halfway, but I don't think he's so good that he'll comp beast to the end. He really does range from fairly good to just average. He nearly gotten beaten in a couple of the comps he played in. I just think he's overhyped in comps to an extent. He's better than the average Big Brother player, no doubt, but he still has lost comps (and been in the bottom of comps). That's the only reason why I say to an extent, he's overhyped; it really depends on the type of comp for him. He nearly lost the first comp he played in against Izzy, Felicia and Jag, after all. I think Cameron's on a similar level to someone like Cody and Josh. He's above average, but he wasn't so good that he couldn't be beat. He got taken out twice, both fairly early. He can be taken out. And I think people calling him a comp threat are overhyping him a bit. He did well in comps, but many men have done well in comps on Big Brother. Cameron won six comps; so has Cody. So has Xavier. 

    It also doesn't matter about Frankie's reputation, as nobody on this season really knows who Cameron is so even with Frankie's reputation, he has more connections than Cameron does. It makes Cameron an easy target if there IS an ability for strategic gameplay. Frankie not only has his BB16 alliance (Cody and Nicole), thanks to Big Brother, he ALSO has Britney and Danielle who he got to film different segments with earlier this year. That automatically makes him safer than Cameron. 

    And with how I assume this Reindeer Games is set up, even though it does rely on competition wins, we don't know how players get taken out beyond there being a Santa's Showdown. I assume there's a way to still strategize people out of the game even without voting. 

    Frankie hasn't competed since BB UK - and that was over 7 years ago.   He wasn't picked for The Amazing Race or The Challenge.  And at 40, he is oldest guy - and 2nd oldest after Danielle.  Makes a difference with some of the more physical comps.

    I would also think his horrible reputation is reason for other cast members not to trust and align with him.

    The only comp threats I really expect are Frankie, Xavier, and like MAYBE Josh (who at least has done The Challenge so he has some experience). MAYBE Cameron but I think people overhyped his abilities to an extent. I also think, with Cameron's lack of connections, and again depending on how the comp aspect works, he'll have to keep winning out, and I don't foresee him beating people like Xavier and Frankie.

    I don't see how Frankie and Xavier are more comp threats than Cam.  X had the benefit of The Cookout, but without that on The Challenge, he got eliminated early on.  And Frankie has one of the worse BB reputations.  Certainly way more unlikable than Cam.  I don't see Frankie or X beating Cody or Josh.

    From what I can gather on social media, there were bitter feuds between Cory/America stans and Cirie and/or Felicia addicts. My theory is they all cancelled each other out -- especially within the pairings -- so that's why Cameron ended up with AFP.

    Please don't contradict me; it's the only thing giving me solace.

    The fallacy with that is that Cory and America didn't even make the AFP Top 3.  BB Twitter is hardly a reliable source.   They were completely wrong about Jag - that he will lose $750k if he took Matt to the finals.

    Cam is a BB superfan - and he's a competitor.  Cirie said he and Jag were the best competitors.  Because of that, Cam had to fight to stay in the house.  He couldn't just float like other HGs.  He didn't have the best social game - and he owns that.

  4. So much for the prediction that Jag sunk his own game and would never win against Matt, who had a better social game.  Overall, Jag played the better game and the jury respected that.  The right person won.  And he did it without betraying his BFF.  Matt deserved to be F2.  3rd year in a row that a POC has won BB.  Also happy for Cam winning AFP.  He was one of the best competitors in the game.

  5. IMO, one of the rare times where the Top 3 prizes were won by the 3 best competitors in the game.  Even though I would have liked Hisam to have gone further.

    CONGRATULATIONS to JAG who made history by being the first Sikh Punjabi to win BB.  Got to respect him for taking his bestie and the best competitor left to the end.

    VERY PLEASANT SURPRISE Cam won AFP.  He's a competitor.  I also think we will see him on BB Reindeer Games, then The Challenge.

    Jag played it safe.

    *yawn*

    If Jag had played it safe, he would have kept Felicia.  She would have been an easy beat - for any of them.

    This has to be one of the strongest F3. 

    I am tired of seeing HGs carried into the finals - because they are an easy beat.  It's a crime that Big D got $75k- while Tiffany was axed in 6th place.

  7. The right people made the F3.  I want to see people who can compete. Bowie ties Cam for having the most HOH wins (so far).  Jag is the Veto King.

    Felicia floated longer than she should have.  Her biggest mistake was backdooring Hisam, who was in her alliance, when she was HOH.  That clique of her, Cirie, Izzzy then proceeded to push out Red and alienated Bowie.

  8. BB was Cirie's 7th competition on Reality TV.  She had won for The Traitors - and was a co-winner for Snake In The Grass.

    It's time for her to retire - and spend time with her family.  She made some really poor game moves on BB - that sunk her own game.  The mother-son twist was a disaster.

    Totally.  Cory is way more mature than America.  She really does seem to be someone who is used to getting her way all the time.  Like she was the one that pushed for Cory to have a showmance with her.  And while Cory may be more mature he obviously is weak willed as well.  Can't stand either of them.

    They should have been pre-jury at best.  Both have done little in the game.  Corey is someone who can be easily manipulated.  Matt's right - that America gives off "cheater" vibes.  I doubt they will last beyond the house.  And I can see rumors swirling that she hooked with another poor sap.  Of course she will deny it, blah, blah.

  10. I do not get the love for America - at all.  She has done zilch in the game.  Matt is right about her.  She is a Mean-Girl when things don't go her way. 

    And it's not like she has a lot going for her.  She's 27 and is a receptionist (minimum wage).  There are lots of HGs in BB that could easily rival her in as far as beauty, intelligence, likeability, accomplishments.

    Can't wait to see her with her tail behind her legs as Juror #3 - and having to explain to Cam what happened. Little that she knows his post show interviews, he's rooting for Jag to win.

  11. America hiding and crying in bed?  Please.  That's why I'd much rather have someone like Felicia go farther than America.  Felicia is not going to win, but look at how many times she has been on the block and then she was stuck in isolation.

    This is why I'm ok with Cory leaving. With him gone, America (albeit too late) can finally start playing the game that would likely get her far. Of course, her fault for cozying up to Cory too much, but she's always had the better reads and he always dismisses her like her reads are wrong. No, Cory, they've always been better than yours. Her biggest obstacle is herself, and opening her mouth and spilling everything.

    Time is running out.  If she doesn't win the next HOH or Veto, she likely will be following Corey to the Jury House.  Pressure is on.  She and Ciri are the only HGs remaining who have not won a competition.  

    For someone who claims to be a superfan of the show, she has been a disappointment.  She seemed more interested in a showmance, knowing those usually don't end up well.

    What's interesting about C/A potentially going up this particular week is that Cory's going to realize right away that if he manages to flip the vote against America, he's sending her to the jury house with Cam for a week. I honestly think there's a good chance he just falls on his sword rather than do that, and that sucks for him, and worrying about whether someone is going to make your girlfriend uncomfortable if she gets voted out shouldn't be a part of this game, but here we are.

    Oh please.  They have a showmance, which is always going to be a target.  I doubt they will last outside the house.  Just like how all it fell apart for Taylor and Joseph.

    BTW, Cam has been nothing but gracious in all his post show interviews.  He says he is able to separate the game from the personal.  He doesn't hold any grudges and takes responsibility for his eviction.

    But Cam and others did and said Cirie won weeks ago so why should he?  He probably didn't even watch Traitors, just heard about it. 

    Nope, he doesn't know about Jared.  If he did he would be bragging about it in the diary room every single session.  And of course been bed talking about it endlessly to America.

    In short, he isn't a very good player period.

    Corey has Napolean complex - the annoying little guy who thinks he knows everything with all his bragging - to compensate for all his short comings.  Not only is he not a very good player, he has a bland personality, not very good looking or athletic.  He will be in for a rude awakening when he gets dumped with his showmance once they are outside the house.

    I'm sorry to see Cameron go, only because he was a schemer and schemers in the BB house are always appreciated, especially this late in the season.  He definitely kept things interesting!

    Cam got a huge shout out from Janelle Pierzina one of the all-time greats.

    Janelle Pierzina on X: "Cameron is such a great villain! I love him! 😂#BB25" / X (twitter.com)

    Hey, at least he now gets to enjoy the peace and quiet, amenities of the jury house to himself for a week.  King of the castle, lol.

    Cam’s scoffing at Cory for not swallowing Cam’s pitch whole?  Simultaneously laughable and pathetic.  Cam has been extremely vocal for weeks, alternating between trashing Cory’s game and throwing Cory’s name out as a target for eviction to anyone who would listen; why the country fuck should Cory suddenly disregard weeks of evidence regarding Cam’s true feelings about him and start considering Cam as a dependable ally NOW???  Bullshit to the Nth power.

    Peace out, Space Stableboy; may they have a stack of Kevin Costner DVDs waiting for you in the JH.

    Corey may be following Cam to the jury house - very soon.  

    Most cringe worthy site - Scrawny Corey with his shirt opened talking to Julie. This guy is not attractive - at all.

    He didn’t leave America to defend herself. She jumped in to defend Cory, and pulled the focus on herself.

    Bottom line, he high tail out of there.  Felicia was right to have that out in front of the house - vs one on one where he could lie.

    Never understood the appeal of Cory.  He's short, isn't very good looking, bland personality, mediocre game player.  Can’t see Americory lasting beyond the house.

    I'm thinking we're going to get a double next week, both because it makes sense to do it 7 to 5 and because production should be covering themselves by making sure no one is alone in the jury house with Cameron for a week. 

    I doubt that would be the basis for a DE.  Also, if these HG are so intimidated by someone like Cam, they have no business playing the game.  And I doubt most of them are. 

    Dunno about Cory though.  He can always run away, lol - as he does when confronted.

  20. I don't Cam will end up staying.  I do see him on his way out blowing up Matt/Jag's game.  And if there is anyone who can be a bitter juror - it would be him.  I can see him swinging the votes - based on who betrayed him more.  We've it happened before with jurors.

  21. Corey and America are easy targets.  Break up the showmance.  Meme already cast one of the blows on her exit.

    Corey showed what a weak link he is - when he coward away from Felicia's argument - in front of the group.  She's right - she doesn't want to talk one on one - where he can lie.  America's right - he left her dangling by herself.
