I don't know, I feel like America may be smarter than I think. I was binge watching BB15, and up until the point when Aaryn made it too disgusting to watch I was interested that America kept choosing Elissa as MVP. To me, it seemed clear that Helen was playing the best game, by far, in the house. One option was that they chose to give it to Elissa because they really loved her sister, and her by extension. Or it could have been that they simply didn't want to give it to Helen because putting all that power in Helen's hands would have put a huge target on her back. She could basically use Elissa every week to put up the strongest player that they wanted to get out. And so that strong player would be pissy with Elissa, not with Helen. If thats the case, America is not stupid.

LOL @ the kid trying to swap out the judge. He was probably crushed for life because he lost that spelling bee over some made up word. And to your point, how the hell did that just sell me yogurt? We spent the majority of the commercial on the made up word and about 5 second on her telling me that strawberry shortcake yogurt is great. And frankly, she just said strawberry shortcake is delicious, not the yogurt. She is just so smug and unlikable IMO. She is not Mirriam, she is not Webster, she can't just make up words!

I do not believe for even a nanosecond that Pao threw that competition. I think she just isn't a very good player. Devin's lucky his plans didn't involve her trying really hard and winning, she really is the weakest player. Yes, and to his friends he will probably be like "I was just lying to that guy! I was playing the game by getting him to like me!"

Commercials like that just encourage the worst habits in people. But let me introduce you to a new Yoplait friend... First off - Swapportunity is not a real word you dumb broad. How are people encouraging this woman to have anything to do in the world of education? Second - you didn't swap a strawberry shortcake for a donut, you swapped some watery milky semi strawberry tasting yogurt for a donut. And trust and believe bitch, you will likely just have that donut later, because I dont' remember Yoplait filling me up Third - I'm gonna need for you to drop the condescending tone, how dare you judge anyone when you just made up a fucking word! At a spelling bee!

"Incompetent Boob"..... Just Kidding NFNS!

Honestly, when I was keeping a calorie diary, I would just assume I was going to eat an entire bag of popchips, and plan around it. Now when I buy chips and snacks like that, I just strive to find a brand that has a low serving size. An entire bag of popchips has 420 calories, so I plan around eating the entire bag, because I've tried and failed numerous times at simply putting the bag back. I have done better when its those 100 calorie snacks, but I wont' just eat one of those either. :) I'm a hot mess!

LMAO @ your comment...witty and so true I LOVE both Nina and Michael, but thats just me. I love MK's snarky commentary and Nina's bitchery. I do however, 100% agree with your statement, and its especially troubling coming from a woman in her 40's who shouldn't be SO obsessed with youth. It makes me depressed to think that women can't be a little bit older and be considered beautiful, because I wish thats where our culture would go instead of "hey, you're over 30, but try desperately to look like you're 15!!!!"

Here is the thing. In the store, when I'm logically convincing myself to buy the ice cream because this time I'll control myself I do check the calories. And its all part of the game, I'm like "listen, you can buy this, because its only 110 calories per serving, and you're totally going to only eat one serving and then put it away, thats nothing, 110 calories is like 2 bananas, go ahead and buy it superstar!" Four hours later, when I'm scraping the bottom of the half gallon.....well thats a different kettle of fish altogether.... me neither! Its like one of those shows where a character somehow blacks out and wakes up and they have killed someone. Except for me, its like i black out and I've finished all the ice cream!

And honestly, you don't just want to have one lonely sleeve of cookies rattling around in the box all by itself, so you pretty much have to eat the second sleeve of cookies. As far as the ice cream, I won't even look at it. But about twice a year, I'll convince myself that this time will be different and this time I'll really have self control around the ice cream, and I'll really only eat it in 1/2 cup increments. Four hours later when its all gone, I just know that I'm not built like these people that the ice cream companies are designing for, these magical beings that can measure out half a cup, put the ice cream back in the freezer and wait until the next day before they have more ice cream. The half pint is just a game ice cream makers play to mess with your mind. They know you're gonna eat that entire pint, I don't know whey they ever bother to put the calorie count for more than one serving size on it. Oh wait, yes I do, they know if they put that 1 serving was 780 calories, they might lose sales, but if they can convince you that its really only 4 servings of 195 calories each, you're more likely to bite.

You say this as though someone could poke a hole in your flawless logic. But seriously, I swear to you they have to be lying about the number of servings in some of those boxes of girl scout cookies. Damn thin mints!

Could be, although I felt like that scene was put in there as more of an "oh shit!" moment, and was probably the skull of another prisoner who thought he had "escaped" while the guard was peeing. Like this is how Earth Republic is taking care of its enemies... I remember the mayor saying to the BioMan to just "take care of them" like they had done something like this before.

LMAO! I used a measuring cup once to measure out ice cream. It was wildly disappointing. I figured there had to be some margin of error in favor of giving me more ice cream. Four hours later, the half gallon was gone. LOL @ a mixing bowl

I too...have this problem. But I'm delusional as well, so I'll still go to the store and think "oh, only 110 calories per serving, I'll just have one serving a day, how bad can that be?" And before the day is out the half gallon is gone :(

I think a "no you can't have it" is different than coyly playing like you're eating the most delicious caramel and crunchy covered thing in the world and then telling a kid no. To me, its like if a kid asks you about going to a local easter egg hunt, and you tell him its the most amazing experience ever, looking for eggs, the bright colors, how you could get a dollar for each one you collected, how some of them have delicious jelly beans in them, how there is an Easter Bunny who hops, how there is just the most amazing chocolate bunny rabbits. And then you tell him "no." To me, it would be perfectly reasonable if the kid asks you about the going to the local easter egg hunt if you just say "no" but if you make the easter egg hunt sound incredible and then say no, it seems mean spirited to me. I think its fine, acceptable and advisable for people to tell their children no, but I don't think people should be mean spirited to anyone, especially and not even children.

You're killin' me! I imagine Dante's 4th circle of hell is just a DJ playing all these songs that I can't get out of my head. "I'm too sexxy" by right said Fred, "I get knocked down!" by Chumbawumba, "Mambo Number 5" by that one guy, "Thong Song" by Cisco, and finally "Booty Dance" by Terra Jole. Actually it sounds like an episode of the Twilight Zone about hell. Like first you think you're in heaven, and you think "I can't believe heaven has a nightclub!" and you go in and you're like "heaven is awesome, they are playing that right said fred song I loved back in the day" and then as each song plays, and earworms into your head you realize something is wrong, and by the time "Booty Dance" starts playing, you realize....this isn't heaven! THIS ISN'T HEAVEN!!!!

Thats actually not a bad plan. She just needs to stop a) loudly declaring that she doesn't want him for his money and b) behaving like she is put out by the fact that he doesn't have any money. In other words, if it weren't for her, the plan would work out well!

would they have rubbed their delicious ice cream in your face? thats the part that seems mean. I don't care for yoplait, I find it watery and weird tasting, but thats a taste preference, people must like it because it is still on the shelves. I mean no offense if you like it. :) In fact, I'm solidly in the minority yogurt wise, because most stores don't stock the yogurt I like, so clearly a lot of people in the country enjoy Yoplait. And truly, when I was a kid I wasn't really all that interested in yogurt just as a general rule, especially not for dessert, it wouldn't have gotten me as excited as ice cream with caramel and crunchy things on top!

I think for a guy like Caleb everyone is always saying that, even though no one is ever actually saying that. I'm sure when he is in line at Starbucks and the barrista asks him "you want a Venti or a Grande?" it really sounds like "You can't protect your girl!"

Ugh...celery is another one :) Nicely layered is a great way to put it, and thats how I like characters, not all black or white, but shades of grey and beige.

LOL - I like your line better, but I feel like Julie Chen is barely able to eek out "expect the unexpected" but I feel like "expect the thing you don't want to happen...to happen" to be more honest and more amusing :)

and I appreciate that. Almost everyone I know likes carrots, I despise carrots. I hate broccoli, a lot of people love broccoli. I know that the way I feel about Julie Benz is the same way I feel about carrots, its all personal preference. I can't point to anything wrong, like I can with Kerry Washington's overacting in Scandal. Julie Benz is my actress broccoli. But her characters transformation season 2 is interesting.

LMAO! Well, it might work in a pinch... Speaking of raging lunatics and racist assholes, I'm currently binge watching BB15. WTF???? How long is this GinaMarie chick gonna cry? I'm embarrassed for , her. Did anyone watch the live feeds last year? Can you give me a rundown of what happened? In reading the posts here, I assumed Nick would stay longer because it sounded like she was acting creepy towards him on the show, but now I'm assuming that most of the weirdness must have happened in the live feeds because this bitch is crying like a kid thats been told the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and Transformers don't exist. But more so, I'm absolutely disgusted with CBS for letting this wonky looking blonde racist chick stay on the air. That Bible verse might actually apply to her. My heart is breaking right now for Candice. This dopey blonde broad is as stupid as the day is long, and if she stays in the game its pure luck, because her game play is ridiculous. I'm all about having the villain to root against, but this bitch is beyond, truly beyond, and it just reminds me of the non violent civil rights protests, where you had white people being loud and bullying black people, yelling and carrying on and black people just sat there,and by just sitting there they made the strongest statement. I know its not the same, but to see these white broads carrying on and bullying this black girl (and I know they bullied others, but flipping over her bed, calling her Sheniqua, talking to her in a "ghetto voice" and rolling her neck) while she just took it and didn't sink to their level....it was powerful to me. I'm sorry - I know this is wildly off topic, but it seems like a lot of you watch the live feeds year after year and I'm dying to know what happened because you all have made it sound so juicy! And I had to vent a little, because there is a part of me that wants to fly to whatever po' dunk hicksville this lame ass is from and punch her in the throat. ETA: and yes, I should stop watching, but I'm only watching to see this bitch get evicted.

And I don't think thats an unreasonable point of view. But when the kid comes downstairs just say "hey, its too late for you to eat" or "maybe tomorrow" Don't be a jerk and tell him that you're eating delicious caramel ice cream with crunchy stuff but you won't give him any. Thats just mean spirited. They just make the ice cream seem like the most important and delicious thing by hugging it to their chests and coming up with lame excuses. They don't seem bothered that he wants to eat something, they just don't want to share their sub-par gelato. It seems like if he asked for a line of coke they might have had less of a problem giving it to him. Its just that they don't want to share this amazing gelato with him, so of course he wants it. How can he not, especially when they tell him its got caramel and crunchy stuff! They should have just told him they were eating Yoplait - he wouldn't have wanted any part of that.

D'oh! Generally, I might then advise feigning lesbianism, but I get the feeling Caleb might just take that as a challenge, or feel like god wants him to work harder to convert her. She should talk to Jacosta, maybe there is some bible verse that can be construed as a command to not stalk people. I feel like Caleb would be open to a biblical argument.

You know - I wonder about that. I never worry about the girls in the Bad Girls House because I know Security is ALWAYS nearby because those girls are fighting all the time, and I know that in a minute Oxygen, the production company and everyone involved could get sued for negligence if a girl really got hurt in a fight because they should be able to foresee that when you put emotionally vulnerable women in a situation set up for them to fight each other you should be able to foresee that one of them may seriously hurt the other. I don't care how "iron clad" releases are. But I don't know if Big Brother has that sort of staff living in the house or nearby enough. Traditionally its not a show where people get into physical altercations, and it seems like the cameras are all anchored to the walls so there may not be a camera crew around. So then what would a houseguest do if another houseguest got physically violent in a totally unexpected way. Like if Caleb were to try to corner Amber and try to physically hurt her. Would they have someone who could get in there fast enough? I mean with Bad Girls club there is a camera crew following everyone around, so the minute the shit is about to hit the fan, someone knows and security magically appears. If the cameras are all anchored and there is no camera crew, is there just a crew of people monitoring the cameras from outside the house who would only call security if they saw something going down? If so, how fast could security get there? I mean you would hope another houseguest would step in if something like that happened, but if I were CBS I'm not sure I would want to rely on that.
