    Erika Landin said in an interview with RHAP earlier in the season that she met Tyler during the casting of BBOTT. 

    I could be completely wrong about this, but I think Tyler said he started watching during BB10? There are photos on his instagram of him trying out for BB18...I think.

    Yes! I recall now that he said his first casting was for BBOTT. I knew I was not 100% with the full story. He may have said he watched BB10, but I don’t believe him. He had no idea who Keesha or Kevin was. He recognized Enzo, but didn’t know him as a character. He was not watching until at least the mid teens. Even then it is spotty. He is not familiar with the HGs style of play from previous seasons.

    Why would Christmas get this stuff when she wasn't HOH?

    Tyler pretends and lies a lot, to the HGs and the fans, so it's hard to tell. He's said before he's a super fan and he's also claimed to not know a lot of stuff. 

    Tyler couldn't even outtalk Kaycee so I don't know about this lol.

    They're not good at hiding it at all! And they have been called out for it by wall yellers! These people just don't want to believe what they see because they don't want to accept how badly they've played on their second/third chance.

    Christmas actually did indeed call Dani a legend. Tyler, being the ass kissing liar he is, was calling Dani the best gamer he's ever played with and Christmas was like, 'yea, she's a legend,' as she is also an ass kissing liar lol.

    I honestly think this is the worst season ever. I think it may have finally broken me of the habit. It's proven that the game is just over. It's boring, stagnant, and predictable not to mention racist and offensive and it just isn't going to change. 

    I'll probably check youtube next week for the jury segment, which will surely disappoint but I'm still mildly curious. I don't actually wanna watch the finale because there really is no outcome left for me to actually root for but I probably will watch it.

    This. I recall Tyler finally talking about this on the feeds. From what I pieced together (which may not be 100% with the stars and cross talk and Tyler usually stops talking when someone else starts so as not to be rude and over talk—he doesn’t get a chance to say his whole thoughts often with Cody and Dani and Christmas and whomever jumping in), is that he was first cast on that competition show that was on for one season where he had a crossover with BB20. Then Robyn Kass started talking to him about Big Brother and they wanted him for that. I think at that point is when he actually went and watched a full season of the show, like BB16 or something. Somebody said, I thought they said you were a super fan? And he said well since I had watched a season they said that he should say that so that fans know he watched the show. He said before being cast on that indoor Wipeout type show, he didn’t really know much about Big Brother, but then he started watching knowing he was going to be on. I had like 8000 questions that I wanted to ask and know and of course these HGs were just like “oh” and didn’t ask him ANY follow up 😑😐. He was annoyed that he didn’t do better on that other show. It was filmed before Big Brother obviously, then they used him as a teaser to try to get the BB audience to crossover watch the show after people started to really like Tyler as a fan favorite from the start of BB20. The show didn’t last. I only watched the episode that Tyler was on.

    ETA: this has been corrected by others that Tyler was in casting for BB18 and BBOTT

    I kept trying to think if Xmas won an HOH last night and was like no but then I was like wait did she lol. But no it was Memphis hoh/Xmas veto/Tyler hoh & veto. So I really do not understand why Xmas got an hoh basket.

    Christmas did not get a basket. She was carrying stuff for Memphis or Tyler from the storage room.

    There's a girl I know, she used to date a guy who was always making jokes and making us laugh, she used to be chubby and healthy. Then she broke up with him and she met a guy who owns a gym and she got into gym stuff, they got together, they got married and had a kid. Well she has become skinny, she and her husband are obsessed with exercise, they even made an online shop selling pills and other stuff for working out. I think he has drained the fun part out of her. I remember one Easter we went out and she spent like two hours explaining with EVERY detail how she ate half a sausage at the Easter table and then all the exercises she did at home to lose the 456 calories of the sausage. Me, I love my meat, I'm chubby and I like it, yeah! 😛

    We all know her or someone just like her. Right now, it’s Tyler. He comments on how many calories someone burned in the veto, how many they probably ate in a day, how food is made and other things that you can tell are constant thoughts he is having about why he should not eat it. He is in healthy-eating-Rexia land and it is uncomfortable for everyone watching him. Even Dani is uncomfortable and trying to feed him and she food shames everyone.

    ALL OF THIS. Did Kevin actually ever tell DaVonne that he is half-Black? How is she just supposed to know that by looking at him? Until this episode, I thought he was Hispanic.

    I am just so sick of Kevin whining about everything. Kevin, you have been on the block 5 times because you just project this constant image of woe is me, I am so pathetic self-pity. 

    Yes so much alllll of this! Mr. London watched this episode with me last night for the first time in years. He remembered some people from earlier seasons that I got him to watch. First thing he said was... does that guy (Kevin) always whine so much? I said, “yes... constantly 😑 it never ceases.” He did not remember Kevin at all from season 11. He said Nicole is very cute, he did not like her nose or voice, thought she was faking at the OTEV veto— I tried to tell him she complained about it for 2 days how she was so upset that she couldn’t get up. Then he commented that she had aged so much in another shot and was looking very old 😬. I think she is just looking tired this week, yet I have noticed her aging too in the last week. He remembered Enzo. He did not remember  Memphis. He thought Dani looked better with dark hair. He remembers Janelle and said he didn’t like her that much 14 years ago (sacrilege! I was like whaaat?!! How... 😦🤔😂) We did not have much to say about the psychedelic neon salamander. We could not decide if it was supposed to be 60’s- 70’s retro, 90’s retro or a current rave EDM DJ thing.  
     

    yes, Kevin has talked about being half black with Da’Vonne. I know she knows. I remember him mentioning it to David and I remember that David had a look of surprise in his reaction. I didn’t know if it was surprise that Kevin is half black or that Kevin felt like the discrimination against him was less than David because he was half black and not fully black like David so he wasn’t comparing, but something about how he responded to David talking about the black man experience and talking about being half black somewhat surprised David briefly and I wish I knew what that micro expression of surprise was about from David. I think it was the way Kevin said that he doesn’t experience it as fully because he is half black. He meant it to empathize with David, yet it slightly threw David off for a second.

    In all fairness, I think the delighted spite is only one portion of Will's appeal. First, I think because Will has an awareness of his own self importance that he will acknowledge freely is offputting yet he just accepts that he is going to be the villain because of it AND his actions, he gets a bit of a pass from the audience. But second, it's because the spite is not the ONLY thing he delights in. The guy is ready and willing to make a fool of himself to put in a "show" and he gives it 100%. You watch him, roll your eyes, and then suddenly you are laughing with him, because it is so over the top.

    I thing the misogyny embedded in our society makes trying to mimic Will nearly impossible for a woman, but Dani's schtick is all evil cackling with glee at others and absolutely no self awareness other than to get upset when she is criticized. She is the first to comment negatively on others and, more importantly, seems to have no joy OTHER than reveling in the difficulties of others. That's just never going to get you fans, especially as a woman.

    Will also does it as part of his TV persona. He is not cruel to people just for sport or openly or non game wise. He may not have time for you, but that is different. Will even stopped some cruelty when people don’t know the line— he says stop, that’s not ok. Like when Howie was going to verbally attack Chicken George in All Stars and Will was like whaaaat?? You can’t DO that!! You can’t threaten a 45 year old man!!? Be a grown up Howie! He stops stuff from getting too emotional or personal. He gets that it is just a game. I appreciate that about him. He does show empathy for others as people, at times, when appropriate. As players, he knows he has to eliminate them all to win and he can’t care about them in the Diary Room. That is the place for cutthroat strategery 😉 and ice cold blood in his veins and he knows his audience there.

    I think Dani actually has some seriously disordered eating. I thought so on BB8 and think so now. For one, she seems to get very upset if people are enjoying food. She'll make snarky comments or snide expressions when she sees people eating. She won't join in on any communal eating activities. She will however want to hide wine and other alcoholic beverages for herself. She definitely seems to think enjoying food is a sign of weakness. For instance the meals she makes are usually plain rice with no seasoning and plain boiled vegetables. She'll make faces if people suggest seasoning. 

    Completely agree about Dani. Restriction can become dangerous and can spiral. I don’t know  if I started the narrative on Tyler being so hungry and may not know how to make vegan food well because I did say that and do think it is true, however it is not something the HG have specifically said. But connect the dots. It’s obvious to me, yet I recognize disordered eating easily. I don’t think it is as simple as Tyler not knowing vegan dishes, although I do think he is not that skilled at it yet, I do think Tyler has entered the mental struggle that occurs with the high of deprivation of food. His relationship with food is messed up right now on multiple fronts. That said though, he is a strong skilled player and is doing well at the game and is not in any definitive physical danger specifically. But the HGs did notice his weight loss and noted the DR having concerns about it to get medical involved. I think he is purposefully restricting, worries about eating the “right” vegan things, and that he also seems very hungry and not adept at creative vegan food preparation. To my eyes, all of that is happening and he also doesn’t want to let Angela down in any way. He is also locking in to a competitive zone and ready to win this. There was a shift in his energy after jury which started after that week that Bay/Day were on the block.

    Did Production do anything about GM’s eating disorder(s)?  Sure they did - TPTB exploited it for television.  Or had you already forgotten about the comp with the soft-serve ice cream machine?  Personally I’ll never forget that, no matter how hard I try. 😞 

    Andy was anxious during that comp too. He had lost over 100 pounds at some point (not clear if he ever had a gastric surgery that could effect how much he could eat and thus not eating a lot of volume of fri yo in that comp could have led to him potentially being confronted with having to explain that— but that didn’t happen, so we don’t know).

    I haven't been watching the feeds, but what you described is really sad. I do think people can absolutely be healthy & vegan, but it does require some work and attention to calories and nutrients, and it does need to be the right plan for *them*.  Some people thrive on it, but others might need something different.

    I'm guessing it's not at the point where BB needs to intercede (if they would ever even bother) but it's definitely concerning for him if he's losing weight in the house. (that's the opposite from most people!)

    I feel bad for him. He needs to do what's right for him.

    I also don't feel like he and Angela need to be vegan to be successful on social media though, yeah, Angela has now made that one of their hooks. 

    I completely agree. A vegan lifestyle is very healthy, yet does require attention to food preparation and combination to get the required nutrition. I don’t think Tyler is that familiar with this eating lifestyle or has done it long enough to know what to eat. He seems like he kind of outsourced the food prep stuff to Angela and Angela may need to control this in order to have a handle on their nutrition. That is why he is a bit lost on what to eat and why that was an issue of concern for them going in to the house. It is clearly something that he is battling right now. Regarding how production can intervene, I don’t see how they can if he has a BMI over 18.5. They can’t make him or anyone eat. What he needs is someone to prepare vegan meals for him and production won’t do that. Dani, Nicole, and Christmas eat most similar to him and are not interested in making his meals for him. The guys seem to eat animal protein and whole grain carbs and vegetables— similar to how Tyler used to eat— yet not as lean as he used to eat— yet I don’t think he is interested or is offered anything from their dishes or side dishes. He is eating. He is simply not eating enough. They have all complained that they don’t have enough vegetables. I guess that is how production can help. Stock more vegetables and lentils and they could tell him how to make them. Canned beans are easy to eat.

    I hate Tyler but damn that made me sad for him because I think you’re totally right about all that.

    I feel like it seemed like Tyler was a pretty typical guy (personally I always thought he was secretly kind of deranged but anyway lol) before but post-Angela has made it obvious he has some big issues. Which makes sense as it’s hard to imagine any sane, well-adjusted people going on this show once let alone twice!

    I know what you mean. I don’t want to sound too controversial, yet there is a slight sociopathy in both Tyler and Dani that I have observed that I believe comes from trauma and economic lifestyle struggle and messed up (absent) parents. I don’t know details about Tyler or specifics exactly on Dani, but it wasn’t easy for either growing up and they didn’t have too much, but learned how to succeed by fitting in socially and being socially competent and being good athletes and being thin/lean with “cool” attitudes. They both work at this. Cody does too, it is easier for him and he doesn’t have the emotional control of Tyler. Cody has a security that comes from a loving family that gives him great confidence. Cody just talks out loud what he is thinking. Dani does this a bit with Cody which is why she likes to be around him. Tyler does not. I am not suggesting introverted thinking style equals sociopathy at all. It is more subtle. It is not necessarily a bad thing. I don’t think they are bad people and I think they channel their energy and work hard to direct it for good. That is how a lot of successful people from distressed or traumatic backgrounds operate. Tyler and Dani are highly successful and now live Instagram influencer lifestyles without really having to work, yet that takes effort and extreme discipline too. They are all working to achieve this, some have been at it longer than others, some care more than others, some don’t understand all the pieces. But that somewhat quesy feeling that makes your arm hairs slightly raise with Tyler is because there is a bit of a skilled predator there or simply an animal highly tuned for survival (depending on how you look at it and view things as pathology or coping mechanisms or a sliding spectrum— which is how I view it). Tyler is not pathological, but there is sociopathy— not enough for a diagnosis or disorder (there is no evidence of thinking rules and laws don’t apply to him). Perhaps it is more detached highly attuned social understanding of how power, influence and success occur and an understanding and willingness to barter and manipulate on multiple levels. This may be why he is interesting to watch for some people and discomforting to others or both.

    He has had some health issues this summer. Not sure what since everytime someone mentions it the feeds switch. 

    Tyler is so hungry and is obviously losing a lot of weight and looking very thin. Several houseguests have commented on how thin he was getting a couple weeks ago. I heard them rumbling that he was not certain to be medically cleared for a veto and they didn’t know if he could play. It was obvious that they were trying not to talk about it and it cut to stars. I think Tyler is committed to the Vegan life style yet not that familiar with vegan recipes to make for himself which is why Angela’s letter said she worried about him eating enough. It seems like Angela spends a lot of time preparing healthy vegan food and is very committed to this lifestyle and she prepares food for Tyler that he always has things to eat which increases his dependence on her. She creates the schedule of when they work on the business and when they go for bike rides, when she cooks and makes videos for YouTube and when they relax. It is a disciplined life and Tyler likes living it and seems not to want to let her down at all, however he is clearly not consuming enough calories in the house in order to maintain his slim lean frame and is losing weight and looking almost borderline malnourished— he is still athletic and strong so it is not too obvious and he carries good muscle but is losing it quickly. I notice Tyler talking more about why he is vegan, almost like reminding himself why the principles are important for the animals due to their poor life experience in American cattle/poultry/pig industry. He seems more open to ethically grass fed pasture raised animals that have a good life (as described on Memphis’ beef jerky pack- Tyler asks if it is Whole365 or something from WholeFoods because it is Australian pasture raised?) before being made in to food.
     

    He talks about food more and more... I can tell that he is hungry, yet not quite sure even what to make himself and kind of tired and not feeling like preparing it. He is talking to Dani more about where certain avocados and fruits are that he asks the DR for because there aren’t any and they tell him that there are and that it was rearranged and to ask the girls where they are. Dani does not eat that much or that often and does try to offer him some, but she doesn’t like to prepare food and doesn’t do it every day and it isn’t enough for Tyler. I remember on BB20 and videos after with Angela, Tyler cooked A LOT and often several times a day. It was super healthy lean proteins and veggies and healthy carbs. He has a style of eating that he knows how to cook with grilled chicken and a vegetable and maybe brown rice and season it. He seems not as familiar with how to imagine an avocado/mango citrus salad wrap or how to eat vegan food that isn’t prepared already and he seems struggling to find things to eat. I am familiar with disordered eating. Dani is in to restriction, yet she is at a healthy weight and can exercise. She might be in a better mood if she ate more, but she likes this lifestyle and it works for her. Tyler is currently not quite right in his current mental struggle with restriction and his weight may be borderline. He is definitely hungry and needs and wants to eat more, yet he seems to be working hard trying to stick to a restrictive diet of specific plant foods. He doesn’t have a lot of energy left over. It is affecting his mood too, he had more anxiety at the beginning and now he simply gets quiet and doesn’t speak on it and tries to go to sleep earlier and take care of himself. I think it explains a lot of his idealization of Angela and wanting to live up to her ideals.

    This is the guy that keeps calling out Denise, but no one else.

    Why did he not run after Kyle everytime she ran away from the cameras and insist that she go back and face the other women? He was also the producer present when Kyle had the cameras wait for Kim when she went into the limo.

    THIS. This is the producer that Denise wanted to talk to at one of the dinners when she said, “Bravo, Bravo, Bravo. I’m not talking about this, I want to talk to Chris Cullen now” and then a producer flying monkey swooped in and got her back to the table. Kyle is complicit in taking anyone down if it is not her. Then Kyle complains how people are just so jelly of her having the best life. Pffft. Yes. Keep spinning that Kyle. Doesn’t make it true. See Paris Hilton documentary on making a career of pretending to be happy and living the ideal life. She learned from the best. Big Kathy was an amazing mom y’all. Paris admitting she plays the part of happy princess because her family demanded that only. It’s all they know. Act like you have it all so people will want to be you and look at you. Be an Influencer. Tell people what to like and what is cool. They are sheep and will follow you if you make them feel happy. Does it look like Kyle was happy at the beginning of this season running around yelling at everyone for living their own life with her pink neon sign that everyone wants to be her?  Yikes.

She was trying to say she didn't know the actor was going to do that, but the director and the actor said that it was written in the film. Heather Locklear is a dumbass.

    Heather Locklear has been drugged and used on TV/film sets for her entire life. She does not need another turn at igniting up a dying of slow boredom show a la Melrose Place or Spin City. She is way messed up and makes Kim look like a picnic. I have compassion for some brutal things happening to her, yet when she fell in to addiction she became part of the people doing bad things to others and not wanting to be accountable for it. She is in danger for her life, trying to live with her demons. I do NOT want more of that on RHOBH. It’s enough with the effed up things we are not alllowed to ever acknowledge in the Richard sisters lives/ Rinna’s marriage and Harry’s ex’s and Mrs. Gerardi BS that we have to not talk about. It’s too sad and watching a derailed train take out families is not fun.

    I think the truth of Denise and Sambora becoming a couple was public knowledge within days after the Heather-Sambora marriage breaking up.  This was never in dispute as it was widely covered in the celebrity media, and considering her marriage to Aaron took place so soon after his divorce from Nicolette seems like just a coincidence she was neighbors (if not actual friends which I'm sure she'd never admit now) with both couples? 

    I wouldn't doubt how some of her co-workers would think it was time to let Denise Fucking Full of Herself Richards know that (especially being the highest paid of the show) that the others failed appreciate her taking off during filming and essentially leaving her co-workers to carry the load without her, her frequent lies and repeated attempts to play the innocent likely became pretty irritating as the season wore on.  It's just my opinion, since none of the other HWs have talked about it.

    But okay, so to you it's no big deal if she banged her neighbors' husbands.  I think it's skanky and sleazy.

    I think Heather was involved with Charlie well before Denise got involved with Richie. I have read some blind gossip items that may not be true, but most often have been accurate on many things from sources who know— that Denise may have a professional background before she became an actress and got very injured by by someone and was a favorite of a producer customer who helped her get her career. Charlie got involved with Heather at the height of mutual dysfunction (maybe Charlie wasn’t fully there yet) and some very messed up things happened and Denise and Richie almost trauma bonded on what happened with these messed up addicts and their children... I don’t judge Denise for that. They were already divorced and she and Heather were acquaintances through Charlie, not vice-versa. If Charlie did some messed up stuff with Heather and drugs and it included other people and Denise and Richie bonded briefly... Who fucking cares? Neither she nor Richie (nor Charlie or Heather) were married. It wasn’t the best choice, but I don’t think she is horrible for it. They were close for a time. Maybe they helped each other through. No one in that foursome has anything bad to say about it other than random outsiders pointing fingers on ugly divorces with alcoholic drug addicts. We have no idea what the inside of those marriages were like except through court documents... and it looks like it was brutal on a good day.

    To be fair - they all seem to do this... none of them are listening to each other and yet they all keep talking. I see what you're saying though. David's on a different wavelength and it's part of the reason he takes so long to respond most times... He processes differently.  In this instance, he mostly looks glazed over listening to her however.   Maybe he was just so incredibly bored with what  Xmas was saying (and/or offended by her preachy tone) that he was half listening. Then he essentially woke up when she said something actually interesting.

    Yeah, they do... yet not like David. You nailed it saying that he processes differently. He does not inherently understand social and behavioral cues unless he has experienced it before and learned how he is supposed to react. He is almost autistic like in his constantly responding to whatever someone is saying by talking about he read something in a book or learned this lesson from this experience, words of wisdom on life by others. It’s like a robot living a social experience that learns how to navigate social situations and once he figures some of it out, he then integrates it and he tries to act in the way he thinks will get the reaction he wants. But it is not natural. It’s like he studies acting and acts like the type of person he wants to be. Like he has read non-stop-self-help books to understand things and he still just doesn’t get the normal flow. He’s a beat off the music and most of times it’s fine, other times annoying, other times tolerable, and other times maddening. So people tolerate him because he is not terrible to be around, tries to have thoughtful conversations, is polite and pleasant and sometimes interesting. Yet all of those benefits don’t outweigh the costs of the potential headaches due to his paucity of social reasoning skills (or slow/delayed processing) that would come with being involved with him. After reading so many books on how to be likeable, David may not understand why he is still not picked often to be close buds with people because he thinks he is kind, smart, funny, and thoughtful person. Yet he is also just so chasing the beat that the lack of rhythm is just not what people want and it’s sometimes draining because it’s out of sync, but he doesn’t get it. It is slight, he is not so zany off beat. He is slightly out of sync, so it’s not that obvious and he socially learns and adapts with new knowledge, but the processing is still off just enough to feel like... there is not enough benefit in this exchange and I don’t want to give a higher level energy than this... which is why David may not have the depth of relationships that he would like because people can only care and invest so far unless they are more socially off than him. Socially well-adjusted people would be kind, and friendly, but not let him anywhere close to them. He might not understand why. I find him most likeable when his guard is down and he is feeling comfortable to be himself and acts comfortably silly with others. He is pleasant in a group. His 1:1 conversations always have weird energy, and the other person in the dyad seems more drained than before they talked. The exception to this is when he has words of encouragement for another. He is more succinct and confident when he gives his self-help type pearls to another at times. He doesn’t over explain or reference a book he read, he just says it as a little motivator. Sometimes the other person doesn’t even need that, like Tyler, and that’s awkward; but most of the time it is appreciated. Those deposits help him with others. If not, his social deficits are too tiring and can drag you down.

    Christmas tells the story of BOB in Season 16 where Caleb wanted Frankie to go so much that he wouldn’t participate in the competition and Frankie had to complete a 2 person comp by himself and won as a way to give an example of how you fight for your life to the last minute in this game, never give up and believe that you can’t win as an analogy for what she thinks David is doing is acknowledging that he will be going soon, so take the money. David’s initial response is to say, “ I just had a dream about that! I dreamt about that in my nap before this... that comp, I dreamt about that...” Is it me or is that a bizarre initial response to the point that Christmas (whether right or wrong) is trying to make to him and Kevin grabs on to the part about remembering and or dreaming about that comp like they are on the same wavelength or something. He just so misses. the. point. I can see why others get frustrated trying to talk to him. It’s like he doesn’t get so much... and so often.

    Julie completely (and purposefully) missing the point.

    But let's dissect that: out of 21 winners, 3 have been non-white. 14%. And it took 15 years before another non-white person won after Jun.

    Also, more black people have been cast than other POC and yet none have ever won. Only 1 black person has ever even made F2.

    You almost have to laugh at how tone deaf Production/Julie are honestly. Quite an accomplishment lol.

    Agree. Also, I feel like Julie has minimal exposure to the actual game. She seems more up to date about the house and game in recent years compared to when she had other daily jobs like CBS Morning Show (or whatever it is called) and then The Talk. Yet she still seems like she has a limited view based on the broadcast and what staff informs her of what is going on so that she sounds like she is up to date on the live shows. 
     

    Additionally, it annoys me that Julie is one of the people that misuses the term floater. A floater is someone without an alliance who floats to power and votes with power. Maggie was the leader of the Friendship alliance. Definitely not a floater. Rachel Reilly misunderstood what floater meant and used it to mean someone who hasn’t won comps. Now people misuse it to mean so many different things I’m not sure they even know what it means when they say “I am NOT a floater!” Floating is a legit strategy for some players and not always a bad thing. But it is often not strategically respected.

    I think it’s possible that Julia said something at the expulsion ceremony but TPTB continued their ongoing effort to make us forget she was there.

    Frankly, Carrington was more annoying than usual.  The whole facial drama while he was spending 2 hours explaining why he was picking Laurel was really too much.  It isn’t Sophie’s Choice.  I will always wonder if his parents named him because they watched too much Dynasty back in the 80s.

    So if this was the last recoupling does that mean that everyone sits around in the deck chairs on the Titanic until Wednesday night’s season finale?

    Lololol. I love you for saying this. I have the exact same thought every single episode— every time I see somebody say his name. I think... what were his parents thinking? Dynasty? 😂

    If you’re referring to the clip that peachmangosteen posted upthread, Dominique is a black woman that appeared on Christmas’s first season.

    I think you’re both wrong; personally, I suspect National Research Administrators Day has already forgot the name of the lady just evicted was Da’Vonne, and she’s fucking up the reference.  🙄🤦🏻‍♂️🙄

    TELL me that doesn’t make more sense in context.  G’wan, I double-dog-dare ya.

    Thanks for the clarity @JediDVguy and @Nashville. I almost added a statement about how she might be talking about D’Vonne because telling Memphis’ girlfriend makes no sense... then I decided to just answer who is Dominique? That is truly awful that she called Day... Dominique. 😳Stunned😳 😑😐😑😦

    Who is Dominique?

    Memphis’ girlfriend. She sent him his HOH letter. He is telling Christmas that he feels lucky to have her. He says that he feels lucky that, at their age, it fit and it worked. He knew it was possible out there, he didn’t think it would be her. Talking about timing and how the man he is today is so different from the man he was 5 years ago and he says it probably wouldn’t have worked if they met then. But he has changed and grown so much and is capable of making it work. I have heard him speak about her like this before. He thinks very highly of her and has talked multiple times about being grateful for her and to now be a man that can have a real relationship with someone as amazing as her. It shows a rare glimpse of sensitive grateful Memphis that has clearly been through some stuff to evolve to understanding how to love and wanting to do it right. It is nice to hear that he has developed this personal insight and is quite caring about his son and girlfriend and not just grumpy and bossy all the time.

    Are you sure? 

    I thought they were all standing in the backyard looking up at Will on the balcony.

    It was on the TV. They were out there looking up at Zingbot. They were called back to the couch on the live show and the video of the neighbor, Dr. Wil, was on the Julie screen.
