I assumed that Jankie would end up being some upgrade to Zingbot because I dunno, it makes sense? We already have a robot at home? But then I remembered what show this is. So it's probably just the Life Model Decoy of Dr. Will that they've been trotting out for the roundtables.

Did I miss this somewhere? Admittedly I scan, not read, before coffee. From reddit: That's kinda janky but I expected something jankier. I really appreciate Big Brother for bringing the word "janky" back into my life. It does also remind me of Zankie which is unfortunate and I think this is the third Frankie Grande mention in two days so we probably just summoned him like some sort of Lisa Frank nightmare sparkly Beetlejuice.

...they're forcing them to eat for a mandatory pizza party? If I hadn't already self-evicted twice over the conditions, having a diet of nothing but frozen shitty pizza and ice cream would do it. I hope no one in the backyard is lactose intolerant. Or pre-diabetic.

We got the clip now: https://x.com/taylorallen133/status/1835083806069735804 I wonder how janky the Jankie Veto is.

Wait, I just realized that T'Kor, Rubina, and Kimo were all in the Veto comp. Where there were two Vetoes in play. And they won exactly zero of them. That's pretty impressive lol.

I can't stop laughing about the second Veto. I hope it's true. This really is the funniest timeline season.

Feedsters think they've spotted the real Veto by the Knock'em Down game. I wonder what the Jankie Veto does, then. Random replacement nom?

Xwitter thinks that Cam said, "Angela put hers over here," when Leah was putting down the Jankie Veto, leading to the two Veto theory. I'm seeing the same on reddit. I dunno. Could be bullshit. Could be popcorn time. ETA: Once again, getting rid of Flashback was a horrible decision because I would love to go back and find out for myself.

I want Angela to win Veto just so that everyone has to force themselves through one-on-ones with her. She'll feel so important and powerful and annoy the fuck out of everyone else. She'll change her mind 34 times because she saw three ants whispering in the corner by the washing machine and that definitely means that Chelsie is gunning for her. Also because I'm Angela biggest #1 fan - I even sent away for the giant foam finger.

No coffee?! Hell no. Jankie Coffee should be shitty Tasters Choice instant grounds and an electric kettle from 1988 that has a 40% chance of starting an electrical fire. I mean, I would still self-evict in that case but if we're going with a theme, at least go 100%.

Welcome to the Big Brother jury phase, where they stop caring and just line up nice and orderly for their eviction. They need to stop telling the HGs when the jury phase starts. Just don't announce it, leave them in the dark. Is it a seven person jury? A nine? Five? Three? Can't play for jury spots if you don't know how many there are. More of them might show more hustle. I know that being outside makes it a low energy week but it's always disappointing when most of them seem content with their jury house Vrbo, stipend, and summer vacay. Pre-jury was fun! Bring back that energy.

If I were a HG, I would be seething because I signed up for Big Brother, not Survivor. I wanted to be on the show with indoor plumbing and air conditioning, not living outdoors like my worst camping nightmare ever. Give me an indoor flushing toilet or give me death eviction. But I have a shiny new IBS diagnosis so that's probably colouring my opinion. (You guys, when the doctor mentioned gastroparesis, I fucking howled laughing in the office. But nope, Raven's mom hasn't gotten her revenge on me yet.)

So far, Leah's Jankie HoH basket includes Spaghetti-Os, a tiara, a doll, some pool toys, and some bubbles. Now we're taking the coquettish aesthetic a liiiiittle too far. ETA: It sounds like Lana Del Rey is her HoH music which tracks with the aesthetics. I'm not sure if she actually got music (since they're outside) or if she just said it was her #1 choice on her list.

Split house? And it looks like Leah won HoH. Yay! ETA: They slept outside on cots. Dyrefest again? Now that her simps were taken out back to back, I think we're here for Leah's reputation era.

Frankie Grande has evolved into his new Pokéform: Jankie!

What's The Hold Up - they had to keep the button pressed in with a stick while they dumped garbage around them and I think Zero Stars guy yelled shit. I was wrong about the length, though. I'm putting money on a Zingbot reward challenge. Is there a robot/AI themed show or movie coming out soon? Is it time to pretend they care about the new CBS drama coming this fall?

According to a rando reddit comment, a Survivor spoiler account (so I don't know how accurate they are but apparently they've spoiled Survivor shit before) is claiming that it's the endurance comp that Jessica won back in BB19 and that it's still going on. I doubt it but you never know. That one did last an insane amount of time. Weird, it didn't but it seems like it did. That was only a 2 hr one. Did the OTT version go longer?

I would normally be pissed if I missed the slip and slide comp because I looove when the assholes fall on their microphone packs but honestly, Quinn was really the last one I would be cheering for to get a bruised tailbone so if it is that one? I might actually be chill about it. Wow, I did get old.

And now, on the episode preview posted by Us Mag, it sounds like Leah admitted in the DR that she has a bit of a crush on Quinn. This shit is hilarious. Also I hope she gets over it soon. She Stockholm Syndromed herself into a crush.

I thought the DR was just there for the narrating of comp rules that they repeat four times and to get the wacky edit of the HG claiming they won't fall before we get the smash cut of them falling in a spectacular way.

He was main cast. Look, you go to Disney to make it big and it doesn't pan out and then you have to come back home and do shit like The Adventures of Shirley Holmes and Road to Avonlea to pay the bills. Breaker High wasn't that bad. I actually saw some channel airing it not that long ago lol

I would maaaybe accept dorky young Ryan Gosling from his Breaker High days but even that is a stretch.

Yeah, I don't care for this discourse. Big Brother isn't about watching nice people sing kumbaya in the backyard and hold each other's hands. I want blood. I want flames. I want a whole fucking house of Angelas every summer. And I want her to call them all twits and crazy eyes. I get off on the drama. My God, some of you would faint dead away at some of the scenes from the old seasons if this is what really gets your dander up. Also Lisa gave just as good as she got, she was just better at hiding her hands after throwing her rocks. Puritanical pearl clutching is the new avocado toast. We're sliding backwards.

Joseph's mustache has openly been an asshole to Production all season - he has constantly snapped at Big Brother coming over the loudspeaker whenever they ask him to do anything, he gets super snarky about the simplest things and sometimes just fucks off without doing it. I figure that people started to notice. It's almost like when you go on a dinner date with someone, you check out how they treat the wait staff and get the ick if they're a dick. They got the ick. All of them.
