Right? Feeds went to the orange blobs after a couple minutes of the HGs talking. Monte did 8 or 9 zip line trips, Brittany agreed with Monte, Alyssa says "between 5-10" - so let's add basic math to the list of things she DIDN'T learn in school, Taylor says 6. It was really hot, so production gave them ice vests.

Feeds back and... Michael won!!! LOL

Well, BB Comics usually has them being hoisted up and down, so maybe he could say he got nauseous or dizzy, so it took him longer than usual? I'm not sure Michael cares much who wins veto. If Monte wins and takes Terrance down, then Turner goes up, simple as that. If Taylor or Brittany win, then veto isn't used in all likelihood, unless he still wants to move forward with the backdoor. If Alyssa or Terrance win, up goes Turner. In other words, Michael really doesn't NEED to win this and can let anyone else win and he's got a pretty solid path that doesn't get any blood on his hands.

Well, since Turner isn't playing, you might be right. I would hope that Brittany would be trying her best to win, and all of them need comp wins if they have any hope of winning a F2 with Michael.

Sure, one at a time veto comps do take forever, but Michael is so fast that he'll probably be done in 1/10 the time of everyone else, lol. It's like there are only five people competing really. ;) But, then again, with Terrance and Alyssa... That might negate any time saved from our resident speedster.

Feeds still down... This is a long veto. C'mon, BB, let's get this done and bring back our feeds!

Who is Butter Beans?

Did you catch Michael mention that to Brittany when they chatted after Terrance left the HOH? He's more than a little aggravated and frustrated with Terrance, and I get it. He's angry at them because they destroyed the solid alliance he had coming into the house after Dyrefest. He's not angry at Turner for making a smart game move in asking/receiving safety in exchange for putting Kyle up. He understands Michael making that promise to Turner, and respects it (he says). Terrance is no great philosopher and he's easily the most dishonest person left in the house, so he can't/won't allow himself to see the moral dilemma of everything coming out of his mouth.

LOL - just watch Monte lose his shit if Terrance wins veto and Turner is put up on the block. Or, better yet, Taylor wins veto and takes Alyssa down, so that Michael can put Turner up there next to Terrance. As it is, this probably only serves to make Taylor more open to the idea of evicting Turner this week whenever Michael reveals the backdoor plan to her. That's assuming that's still his intent - and I'm not positive it is because Terrance has really done himself no favors in the past 24 hours since noms. ETA - kittens! Veto time!

Thing is, everything that Terrance said regarding Turner is only going to validate Michael's plan to BD Turner. He's also not stupid enough to show his cards to the After Party people until after veto. It would be a lot easier if Terrance or Alyssa win veto and take themselves off, leaving Michael with no choice but to put Turner up because, you know, everyone on the Dyrefest side came back in as an alliance - which Terrance also confirmed in this convo, and Alyssa has independently confirmed to Brittany. As far as the blackmail angle... If he thinks that fuck-shit (™️Terrance) is going to work on any HOH... Well, we already have ample evidence of what a terrible read he's had on the house the entire time he's been in there, so yeah...

Between this information and that Terrance video clip earlier, the 🤮is getting a lot of use this morning!

The difference is that Turner has won 2 HOHs and Terrance hasn't demonstrated any real ability to win anything. I think all three of Kyle, Alyssa and Turner have independently confirmed to multiple Brochella folks that they pretty much handed Terrance the POV win in Dyrefest. All of the HGs know a double eviction is coming either next week at F6 or the week after at F5. Michael is, I think, banking on getting Terrance out in the double, when everything is moving fast and Terrance is the easy choice because he's made himself so disagreeable in so many ways. Plus, getting rid of Terrance is a lot easier when one of his few remaining allies, Turner, is in the house.

Michael has told Brittany that he has no intention of honoring the safety promise he extended to Turner last week during the Kyle revelation conversation up in the HOH. I'm still not sure what rationale he's going to use to break his word, and he has definitely not given a hint to anyone else what his real plan is - not even Taylor knows, and for sure the other three are totally in the dark.

He's, very crudely, talking about how to make your woman hot for you all day long so she's primed and ready when you get home, like anything you make in a crockpot.

Oh, lord. That person is clearly not a feeds watcher because they are giving Alyssa way more credit for basic brains than she's proven she has this summer. Girl is close to one of the dimmest bulbs in the BB light pack and I'm sure she did NOT put it all together, what Kyle was really suggesting, in that convo.

To some extent, yes, but at this point in the game, it's more an example of playing a perfect floater game. None of these people are perfect and they all have moments of extreme cockiness with respect to their safety and their alliance's dominance, but Alyssa is doing a pretty decent job on the social side of this game in her interactions with her side's opponents/adversaries. Plus, showmance. They've played very different games, from the very start.

Yes. After last night's full-on Taylor hate-fest from Monte, I'm inclined to support a Michael/Brittany/Taylor/Alyssa F4. I'm positive that any of them would take the shot at him if they luck into HOH that week. (hey, a girl can dream still!)

I saw that convo - he followed it up with "let's see if she's not mad at me when the week is done..." I think he is still intent on backdooring Turner and knows Alyssa is close to him. If she gets angry, well...

I cannot thank @30 Helens and @Lady Whistleup enough for recapping this convo. I had it marked to listen to later (watching something else, not BB related), but I'd just rage if I did.

Ugh. I'm almost okay with the idea of Michael dropping the Turner BD idea for this week and just letting Terrance loose. ALMOST. The problem is, I think there's a good chance that Terrance goes in the double if Turner is gone because he's the easy/obvious choice to go when things are moving that fast. And I really don't like this disgusting trashing of Taylor that happens whenever Monte & Terrance start to bro down.

Didn't even last 30 min - more like 20, lol. And Michael was over it about 5 minutes in.

I'm watching this Michael & Terrance HOH convo and, dang... It's painful how badly Terrance is potentially tanking his game with Michael. The best part is the at the end, after Terrance leaves, Michael gives a sour look to the camera and mutters "my God..." around 4:45pm BBT. ETA - Michael goes downstairs to the kitchen where Brittany, Taylor and Turner are and the look on Turner's face when Michael tells them about Terrance's blackmail threat... About as fantastically WTF as when Taylor was proposing to put him & Monte up right after she won HOH.

Yes, he has been giving misogyny since day 1, however, he also came into the house stating, quite candidly, that he did NOT want a showmance - and, recall, early on, in that first or second week, he said something on the feeds that indicated production was trying to suggest a showmance with Taylor - something she also wanted no part of. I don't think that exchange with Terrance is particularly horrible, when viewed in the light of what we do know about what production was pushing early on. But, yeah, I can also see where he's certainly a little miffed that Taylor wasn't interested in his goods that way either, so he's all "nope, girl's damaged goods" to Terrance. Who doesn't engage in this sort of behavior in real life though? I hope you feel that way about Brittany too, because she basically said the same thing to Taylor last night with regards to Alyssa being able to do better than Kyle. She's not wrong - he is damaged goods and Alyssa can do better than him, but if it's not nasty for a woman to say it about a man, then the same should be true in reverse for Monte feeling like Taylor has relationship issues that he just doesn't want to touch. Mind, Taylor has hinted at some of her past issues on the feeds, so I don't think Monte's "nah, pass" is a completely unjustified deflection because she wasn't interested in him at the beginning of the season. LMAO - oh, Terrance... floating to the power and throwing your solid After Party alliance member to the HOH wolf. He probably just gave Michael the ammunition he needs to BD Turner - Michael can say "I promised you safety, not realizing the plan was to BD me had I not won veto last week, and now I find this out... So, I can't honor that promise. Turner, have a seat on the block."

Yeah, the way things shook out this week and just how upset Terrance was with Michael for waiting to reveal this info until now, plus how upset he was with Kyle for having him target Joseph, I can't believe that he wouldn't have accused Michael of a lot worse if Michael had really told him to target Joseph before they picked their teams for Dyrefest/Brochella.

Or, Monte realizes that different people are suited for different sports. Tall people aren't going to be gymnasts. Short people aren't likely to excel at swimming or basketball. Additionally, depending on whether you have fast-twitch or slow-twitch muscle/nerve reactors, how flexible you are, etc can also affect the types of sports you are likely to excel at. Additionally, has Michael ever engaged in any conversations about the Big 4 sports in the US? If he hasn't, then I'm not sure it's unreasonable for Monte to assume that Michael's sports interests and skills do not cover the major ones like basketball, baseball, football or even soccer. I just don't think he's engaging in any type of racial or gender/sexual preference stereotyping here. He's just being your basic, average American guy who grew up on the NBA, NFL, NCAA (both basketball & football) and MLB, with maybe a little bit of MLS and NHL thrown in for good measure.
