Feeds back - Taylor, Monte & Turner in the kitchen. Just saw Brittany pass through, but all of the cams are on the kitchen so I have no idea where she went. ETA - oh, she just walked back in and sat down.

I think this season has been the best in many a year. These HGs just keep on giving and giving to us live feeders, when in almost any other season, the feeds would have been deader than dead with a completely predictable plod to the finale by F7. Even with Alyssa going out tonight, it's been nutso with Brittany trying to flip the vote the last 2 days and now Turner crying tonight. It's F4 and we honestly have no idea, aside from Taylor, who will make it to F3.

No, he cried. But, it was just so random. And over so fast. Maybe that's why they're so nonchalantly resuming their noms/votes talk.

Monte & Taylor up in the HOH talking - I think he has some pretty clear insight into Brittany - she would absolutely take him out if she could and she prefers to take Turner to F2 of the 3 left in the house. Ooooo, Turner just came up to the HOH and is telling them about how he confronted Brittany for her Alyssa vote and she just is refusing to talk to him or even say something as basic as "Hey, I'm playing the game" as a defense. And now he's actually crying? I think out of frustration, anger, and exhaustion from Brittany's shitty game play/incessant talking.

Production's wasting no time tonight. Screen in the Living room says "Nominations Today" - heheheheh.

Feeds are back. They're all staring at the memory board still.

Woohoooo, Taylor!!!!!!!! She's guaranteed F3!!!! And her second comp win!

Staying up all night? That's being way more generous about Kyle's stamina than anyone thinks is possible.

LOL - love how Taylor just tanked Turner's game to Alyssa. He might actually lose to any of the last three HGs with that particular reveal if Alyssa tells the rest of the jury.

Gotta hand it to this season's HGs - they gave us our first tie eviction vote in how many seasons?

See, who was it that said Brittany would guaranteed flip at least a few thousand more times before tomorrow's vote? As far as Monte & Taylor keeping their canoodling off the other HGs radar, I'm not necessarily surprised. Both of them have been pretty vocal about not being into each other that way and not wanting a showmance the entire season. So, the other HGs aren't looking for it and none of them are smart enough to pick up on the subtle signs that either M or T are dropping.

If she's that upset, she can always self-evict and take herself to jury on Thursday night.

100% But making out doesn't mean he's gotten the goods. Do we really think he'll let her go before he sexes her up?

Hmmmm... It would take both Turner and Brittany voting Taylor out for it to make a difference since it will surely guarantee Monte keeps her should there be a tie vote.

Well, apart from Trace Adkins, the only actor on the show who I know has legitimate professional television singing experience is Sasse, so I didn't have any reason to think he wasn't doing his own singing. If it wasn't, then the show got someone who sounded enough like what I would expect him to sound like with a country twang that it didn't make me say "oh, uh, no, that's clearly dubbed." My bigger challenge was his "Southern" accent, because I'm so used to hearing him speak in his native British accent from Galavant and the "Southern" accent was off, lol.

I don't really have much to say about the premiere - my opinions mostly echo what else has been said here, however, I do want to point out that Joshua Sasse CAN sing - he was the titular star of Galavant which is one of my all-time favorite TV shows. Having said that, it was very odd hearing him sing "Family Tradition" because country music is not where he cut his teeth, musically (London's West End and then Galavant, which was essentially Broadway for TV). I adore old-school country (basically anything before the bro-down/mopey fake-folk shitfest that country music has become in the last 12-15 years) and all I gotta say about "How Do I Live" is "that's the best of 90s country female power ballads you could come up with?" I really don't understand why we were being treated to covers of old country songs either. But, they were doing the same thing with the lead-ins from commercial breaks, using old country songs, which makes me think the producers are trying to appeal to a certain age demographic. Not that I think covering old country songs is the way to do that.

The white liberal under discussion would be Michael (and Brittany), not Kyle. I get the anger at Michael & Brittany, for only speaking up when it benefited their game. Kyle did a good job of parroting whatever the DR therapist told him he needed to say, and it was very easy for him to present as truly remorseful since he was devastated his game had just crashed and burned so spectacularly. Honestly, of the five white people left in the house when this all went down, the ONLY one who I genuinely believe was shocked, offended and distraught by what Kyle said and did was Alyssa. The other four, to varying degrees, have been quite performative in their shock, remorse, and allyship - and they can all go fuck themselves post-game for that.

He presses this too hard and he might wind up on the block if Monte decides that Taylor is more reliable to vote out Alyssa than Turner.

You know, I watched that comp live and I don't, for one second, believe that Joseph threw it. He might have said so afterward, but he was really struggling, even before Indy fell, and I thought, at the time, that it would be a coin flip as to who fell first between he and Indy. You have to take anything these people say, post-comp loss, with a grain of salt.

I called the Brittany Crazy Eyes the night of the premiere. She has NOT disappointed in that regard, lol.

Unless she coughs up details on why he's in big trouble, I'm gonna chalk that particular spoiler up to "are we really surprised?"

Didn't she work for Microsoft at one point? And, she's already said on the feeds that she and her hubby have paid off all their student loans already. I'm not buying the idea that she needs game $ for IVF either.

And the capital is Ulaanbaatar (previously Ulan Bator).

Okay, maybe Taylor needs to do the talking and tell Britt to just go chill out, lol.

Britt & Taylor really need to emphasize to Monte the closeness of Turner & Alyssa.
