Meme herself said that she didn't trust Cory and America because "they lie." So, I don't think there's a lot of trust going around anywhere in the house.

Meme and Felicia are going to be at the bottom of the other side of the house though. They'll be easy to pick off before the core starts on each other. It might be better for Felicia and Meme to keep their options open or regroup with C&J who are desperate.

They don't know it's a double. I've heard the different groups discussing what to do when, but they don't know it's going to be next. Edit: maybe they do. I'm confused.

She's absolutely miserable, which she doesn't try to hide at all lol.

Matt and Cirie hiding in the bathroom was hysterical. Then they had to run to the Have Not room before Cameron could see them. They were waiting for Jag to come up and talk about strategy but he never came. I was surprised that Matt seems fully on board and with Cirie again. He said "I know you lost Izzy, but you have me." I don't know if that was bs but I believed him. I could tell that Cirie was having a hard time trying to discuss game because the only person she fully trusts now is Jared.

Last night Cameron was talking to Bowie and said that he thinks Jared is working for the Cirie crew and so I believe this is him trying to provoke Jared into spilling some info.

During the Cory/America daytime talk on the bed yesterday Cory said he knows the problem and the biggest obstacle is Jared but he doesn't know how to get him out. He asked, who would you put him next to and he goes home, and they talked about everyone except Cirie. In that convo they weren't considering putting Jared up against her. I don't know if they did later because I had to turn it off. Cameron told Bowie that he knows Cirie and Izzy are running the game and he thinks Jared is working for them. And he asked her to be cool around them and try to gather more information. But it looked to me like Cameron and Bowie are solidly working together. Cam told her that she's the only one he has. But it seems like several people know Jared should be the target. Jared also has some kind of mist too because Jag and America both mentioned him being "such a good player" and "making you believe you're good with him."

If Cam wants to backdoor Izzy he'd have to do some work make it happen. He'd have to talk game with people and convince them to do it. They're not just going to vote out their ally because he wants them to.

That's my biggest issue with Cory. I see it as him isolating her. He's trying to control the narrative of the house to America, and control the rest of the house's perception of her. He doesn't want to be seen as a pair with her but also reaps the benefits of being paired with her.

When they were making the breakfast they made enough food for the rest of the house too. I thought it was funny when they were cooking it, one of them said "we need to hurry up and set this out because people will probably be up soon" and then the camera cut to the bedrooms and everyone was still dead asleep. Re: Cirie's type of game play, I always had a soft spot for Cirie because I thought she got screwed by Survivor two times. In Micronesia she was the mastermind behind Ozzy's blindside and convinced his closest allies to do it. Then, Jeff gave Parvati the credit for that move and Parv ended up winning the season. The other time was in 2nd Chances or whatever it was called and everyone had played some stupid idol or power and Cirie was the only one left standing by default. Even though no one voted for her she was out. Then Jeff said "the tribe has spoken" and I was like no, the tribe didn't speak that, Jeff! I don't remember her other two times on Survivor though. And she's been given so many advantages in BB I actually think it's kind of insulting. She played 10 times harder on Survivor and this is seriously a cake walk for her right now.

Yikes. He's going to be busted for playing both sides soon.

I think Izzy and Cory grew closer last night. When everyone else was eating dinner, Izzy went to the bumper pool room upstairs and Cory followed her in there because they're have-nots. Cory said I didn't mean to interrupt your alone time. And she went on to say that when it's him, he's never interrupting her alone time. When she's with him, she feels the same way as when she's with Cirie (as in, she's comfortable in his presence), and she said "you're my friend here."

Cirie and Blue just had a long conversation in the storage room about wanting to work together, and Cirie said she plans on Blue staying. I don't know if she was just lying to make her feel better or if she really meant it. Then right after that Felicia and Jag are having a conversation in the bathroom about working together and keeping him. It just seems extremely messy, that they're both working with the two people on the block separately. I think the only reason Cirie wants to keep Blue is because of Jared, and if that's the case then that's going to torpedo everything else she's built. It would be ironic if the person who was put there as her built-in ride or die is the one who got her evicted.

Cory and Blue were on the hammock talking about her veto speech. Blue said that she has to talk to Cirie, Izzy and Felicia about "something that was really weird" and then she said to Cory "this is between you and I." And then the feeds flipped to Felicia and none of the cameras were on Blue and Cory anymore. That was really frustrating. It looked like she might have been about to tell Cory about "the secret" and they cut it off. She might have been about to say something else, but we don't know now. ETA: Feeds back on Cory and Blue and he seems nonplussed so I doubt she told him but that was still frustrating to watch. He says he'd be totally down with a Blue HOH next week.

I wonder why they wouldn't want to split up Jared and Blue, too. It would be an easy excuse to break up the showmance. With all the different permutations of alliances and fake alliances though, I can't remember how Cam and Red feel about Jared.

I think I remember Memphis winning a car too in season 10.

She and Jag were on the couch after dinner last night and spoke for about an hour. Then later after they pulled in America, Felicia, Cirie and Izzy said that Jag is one of the extras of their side alliance. So she might be saying he can be trusted within those terms.

I think it's been tough for anyone to make a real solid connection with America and I'm not sure why. Somehow the dynamics played out to where people didn't think they could trust her, but also she felt like she couldn't trust them and had walls up. I watched the convo with her, Cirie, Felicia and Izzy about joining their alliance For Real For Real and she seemed happy to finally be in an alliance and genuine. But as soon as she left the room they said she was at the bottom and first to be cut. Cory has been trying to get closer with her for days/weeks and it just hasn't happened, and so he lied and didn't give her info because he wasn't sure she was fully with him. Now it's coming back to bite him.

I saw that on the feeds and I was pretty tired because it was like 2am but I think the ring was for Jag's chicken costume. When they got it out of the pool they put it on his chicken foot claw.

My 12yo daughter kept saying "this is so cringe." If you can't entertain a 12yo then you know it's pretty lame.

I learned on a Disney show (can't remember which one) that studios are kept really cold/cool all the time because the equipment inside can't get hot. Although the BB house has always been in the studio this year seems extreme with the cold.

I died when the men set the electric skillet on the stove, and they didn't realize it was a bad idea until the exit interview. Aaron even had the gall to say "yes, but the stove wasn't on." I think they all forgot that they were supposed to sell those items. They didn't point out the selling points of the products. This entire episode was a waste of time for everyone.

I thought it was nice to get a backstory on Al-Fayed, who I didn't know about. Maybe it was just because of the mood I was in and watching really late at night, that I got kind of a creepy vibe from Al-Fayed trying to ingratiate himself into the British royal family like it was his entire life's purpose. When he purchased Villa Windsor and Edward's personal effects I thought that was extremely disturbing. I'm sure if I watched in the light of day I would feel differently, and I have been reading a lot of murder mysteries lately which could play into how I felt. But I could easily see how the royal family would steer clear of him, not because of his race but because he was a stalker. Another slight mischaracterization of Elizabeth I thought was when the family was told about the personal papers and jewelry, etc, Elizabeth asked "How do we fix this?" It seems like she would know how to fix it without having to ask. I believe she would have at least one idea she would pitch to the group. Or even that conversation wouldn't even need to take place. She/they probably already knew about it and were waiting for the right dominoes to fall before getting them back. Either way, that scene seemed disingenuous. But I understand they had to condense years-long events into one conversation so that was probably for the sake of brevity.

About halfway through the season I thought this entire show was a vehicle to elevate and cement Saba as FN personality. She gets so much screen time starting from day 1 and was positioned to be the victor in every every challenge, either by actually winning or being the only winning part of the group loss. I don't mind Alex's grumpy personality at all. We can't all be perky and pleasant all the time. I feel the same way with Bobby Flay. I respect Alex as a chef and judge and I like her critiques. If she was judging one of my dishes I would accept the criticism because it would improve my cooking. I think she had a crush on Corey though lol.

My BIL is a physician and he said that he uses the term to distinguish from non-medical practicing PhDs, like a PhD in History or something is Dr. Smith and a lung cancer doctor would also be Dr. Smith. So using the term physician shows that you're a medical doctor? I think.
