Not proud of it, but watched and loved the premiere episode.

I hate myself for how much I’m enjoying this.

They still do the HOH room reveal each week but they don't usually air it unless they need something to fill time in an episode or the reveal somehow plays in to the "story" for the week. I think we see it regularly later in the season as the number of people gets whittled down and the paranoia gets ratcheted up. I'm glad they don't air it all the time because I think it's usually boring and pointless.

Yeah, his boringness took an unfortunate turn.

For anyone who is interested, that thread is where feed watchers answer questions about the feeds without spoiling competition wins, etc. So if you just want a little more info about what led up to stuff on the episode or whether someone is as insufferable as they seem, it's a safe place to ask questions.

He certainly does. And talks a lot about his very hot coworker with a thin frame and juicy lips. He's sort of a mess. #NotGayCorey has been trending on Twitter. If he is confused about or hiding his sexuality, I feel for him and hope he figures it out. In the meantime, I can't help but speculate, because it's the most interesting thing about him. So boring.

So is Corey. I like Frank so much more this season than in 14. Confirms my theory that Mike Boogie ruins everything. Edited a second time because we all talked about Episodes v. Feeds at the same time.

Jozea and Paul are HORRIBLE. And everyone seems over them both, and several people look pissed, especially at Paul. Fingers crossed for early boots.

I thought there were two yellow chairs there before. Is the new power going to let someone nominate a third person?? Or are they finally bringing a shrink into the house full-time?

Apparently, someone said that people died to protect our freedoms and Jozea said "nobody asked them to do that." There might have been kore but that's all James repeated. I really need Corey to blink more often. It's disturbing.

When the feeds first came on, someone in the bedroom asked if the feeds had started and they all seemed pretty sure they hadn't. James is already planning where he can hide to scare people. Current plan is the trunk in the safari room. So, riveting stuff so far.

I'll agree on Nicole but not Tiffany! Is my hate irrational? Yes. Is it real? Also yes. Actually, Tiffany hasn't done anything to bother me, but her voice and mannerisms are just so similar to Vanessa's, and Vanessa really got on every single of my nerves last year. Which was a shame because I liked some of her game moves but her personality really rubbed me the wrong way and I just couldn't get past it. I like Bronte a lot, so it's possible that my sense of things is skewed.

I've got my avatar within arms reach and am ready to go.

Dead. I doubt the show lets Paulie leave this early. He's got to be a big draw and I'm sure they want him around for at least a few weeks. Or maybe I'm just hoping because *I* want to keep him around for a while. I'm so nervous about whatever this brand new challenge that's going to give someone a lot of power might be. Unless it goes to someone I like, of course, because I'm a hypocrite with this show.

I liked that Sean talked to the crew before doing the firing, because they are the guys dealing him on the deck and, most important, they are the ones who will have to do more work. It showed respect for his crew and they seemed to appreciate it (and to be supportive of Sean). I think it was a terrible idea, however, for him to tell the guy that everyone wanted him out. Getting the crew's input is good people management; not owning your decision as the boss is not. For reasons I can't really explain, I think Sig might be more likely to give Mandy the wheel than either Jake or Edgar. Maybe it's that to me, Sig has always seemed to think substance abuse and addiction are a weakness and he struggles to respect someone who's battled those issues? Or maybe he's just a dad who thinks his baby girl can do no wrong!
