Can't wait to see what kind of trumped up lawsuit she tries to force against someone who doesn't want to extend credit or lease to someone (without steady current income) who owes nearly a million in unpaid taxes or her (within less than 7 years) bankruptcy filing, ZERO income/maybe getting SS husband. Girl, shut up. Since when has IG been the forum to solicit top notch legal representation? Stupid.

They've definitely kept Jessica and Cody's bigoted statements under wraps in order to promote their crap showmance and Jessica's ability as a player/push her for all stars. No matter how folks try to defend it, her calling the only Asian and Black women by the names of previous Asian and Black woman competitors was lowkey racist. Did she call any of the white players by their "counterparts" names? No. Cody won't get to come back, no one wants him, and I hope when they bring Baldica back, she gets a quick boot by the rest of the returnees.

I have too. While they still require some level of athleticism, these challenges/eliminations are not preset winners. I'm happy to see that back.

They are allowed to be around each other but there are lots of handlers around to make sure they don't talk game and in some cases make sure couples/duos don't share rooms/share too much info (Zach and Frankie said specifically that they weren't allowed to sleep together). They want the jury pool "fresh" when Dr. Will comes in for his pot stirring. I guess it also prevents a particularly persuasive HG from controlling jury and the votes as well. Maybe the handlers don't want to be on camera or that would introduce a whole other pay grade/level of hassle. I'd love jury feeds, especially when you have seasons that leave all the boring people in the house and give us nothing to watch.

They could be a strong team, I just would hate to have Cory drag Darrell down in a final.

That's what I was going to say...most of the folks listed in the op are kind of immune from job threats (of course there are boycotts available, but job loss, not so much). Josh, Paul, Raven, Christmas are all pretty much self employed, Kevin doesn't work...and I don't remember what Alex does.

Oh god, suppose BB lasts that long...we will surely be plagued by all kinds of atrocious twists, suprises, temptations, etc to assure that second generation win! Maybe by then Nicole and someone will have a kid too!

I can appreciate his ability to be stoic in the face of bs and how it grinds everyone else's gears. I love that, in fact. MF is not a concern to me. Josh is a POC (both grandmothers are Black) and yes, as a black person, I give us a pass. He sang it as a lyric and didn't use it as a slur. He can use it. Outsiders cannot. Speaking of which, Jason supposedly said N pre feeds, and we've all heard him say "faggot" as well. I've already discussed Cody's belligerent use of of transphobic speech. He'd have been out in Charlottesville, I have no doubts. As I'm well aware, which my post stated that I struggle with each season. This is why I can deal with the (IMO overused, not just on BB but in general) "bullying" on this show. It's the psych part of this social experiment. Most everyone does it (or would if given the chance) when their group is in power. I have zero doubt that if Jessica and Cody were in power they would have been nasty and rude and "bullying" to people. Hell, they were nasty even when they weren't in power and chose to isolate themselves. It's the game. Being racist, homophobic, transphobic, anti Semitic, etc are personal choices that are the line in the sand for me. Some folks dont care if they support a racist/homophobe etc, as long as they have someone to support. That's on them.

This is what I don't understand (and it's not toward you personally). Why can't we dislike his sexist, transphobic, antisocial, racist ass now? Why does it matter that Paul is in the house? I struggle with this in BB yearly, so it's not a dig, but damn. Just because I can't stand one person, why do I have to "like" another?

* re: trannies...He made these comments, on MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, separated by days/weeks, not out of ignorance, but knowing they were offensive, and stating something along the lines of "whose side will they take, a marine infantryman or the .001% who believe in this?" He knew what he was saying and relied on his demographic to shield him from critique. Knowing abuse. For hate speech examples (using US law) You don't have to call someone a nigger to their face to know saying "those niggers" is wrong, calibrated, specific hate speech. Substitute "tranny" it's the same thing. If you say it generally, it can be constituted as saying it to an individual. ** He went to the Ferguson protests (based on racist police brutality) for sport. What person who is concerned about human life or race relations in the US would go to a potential race riot to "see if they could survive?" Trashbox racists who counted on being protected for being white, that's who. What POC would go there for sport? *** abusers break down if their subject will be out of their control. In how many instances did Cody speak OVER Jessica when others were trying to talk to her (not in a confrontational manner..like Josh in the bathroom) and say "we don't want to hear it" or similar without allowing Jessica to speak for herself. Just because he cried doesn't mean he didn't speak for her or try to control her. all my very objective statements. Didn't Cody say he would attack Josh once they were outside the house? That doesn't seem very game related, all the while (as an abuser) denying Jessica her rights as an adult to speak up against the person with whom she had beef. Let's be real. Paul's an asshole. Paul being an asshole doesn't mean that I should root for Cody and his racist, transphobic, most likely sexist ass. He can swallow rocks and choke and I wouldn't care less. Paul being shitty doesn't make Cody's trash ass more rootable.

Who really cares about how "tortured" Cody is? He never gave a damn about anyone's feelings other than Jessica (when he was talking over her as a controlling abuser). As a fan of "the game", I want someone who can control and puppet and fuck with people. I like Dick, Derrick, Paul, Dan. It's just petty entertainment saltiness that makes me get in my feelings about people's emotions and bullying and all that other bullshit. BB is a game. I like people who play to win. If I wanted to deal with a morality play and get outraged, I can turn on the news. If I want to see a ruthless winner, I turn on this show, and support those who answer the question correctly..."would you rather win and be hated or lose and be loved?" You play games to win. Paul is playing to win. Yeah, he's a shitty person, but me supporting transphobic, racist Cody just because I'm mad Paul is ruthless doesn't make my choices better.

I've lived and dealt with child support in a couple of states and while the formula varies slightly, they both take into account both parents' income along with the amount of time the kid(s) spend with each one (along with any other kids they're responsible for/alimony, etc). Im guessing it's similar in most states. As a rough breakdown, in your example there would be a combined total of 360k income, after accounting for who pays insurance/allowing each person some standard bills, there might be 300k total available for child support. Then there is a chart that breaks down how much child support would be required total for x number of kids at each income level (broken down monthly). Of the total monthly amount, each parent is responsible for the "percentage" that they contributed to the original available income. So in this example there is $2500 in income monthly between the two parents. Mom constitutes about 83% and Dad, 17%. Just to pull from a state in which I've lived, Florida's child support guidelines state that for that monthly available income, CS for 1 kid should be 547, 2 kids 847, 3 kids 1061 (and so forth). In a standardish custody agreement, he would be responsible for 17% of that monthly amount, or $93/month. It can then be adjusted up or down based on things like overnights time, extraordinary medical costs, etc. Hope that makes some sense.

I think she was able to block out some of his views and attitudes in the house because they isolated themselves so much and he was "all she had" but she did show some moments of the ability to stand up to him in other situations. She's an LA glam life type and he is a quiet rural isolationist type. Don't see it working long term. However, I have a feeling this relationship will go past its expiry date just because the two of them feel like they have something to prove about their great love story. Not as far as I know. I remember Zach bitching before BB17 that CBS wouldn't even give them a $30 free feeds pass. Could've changed in the past couple of years though.
