I was very uncomfortable watching the HOH competition as everyone targeted Cody and Jessica. They acted like bullies. I hate the herd mentality. And I hate the way they all do whatever Paul says.

Good reasons for me to root for Alex (even though I'm Protestant) I don't feel that talking about your faith means they are pushing religion in your face), Dom, and Elena.

Panda? I don't understand.

Happy Cameron is gone. He was very awkward. What was up with his tongue during the decision and voting? Cody and Kevin give off creeper vibes to me. I like Matt. Mark reminds me of the young Josh in the movie Big. And Cameron reminded me of Jon Cryer.

Please- NO FG!!! Also, as an aside, my nephew is a completely lazy scumbag. In my phone, he is known as Fruit Loop Dingus.

I'm not sure how much more of Maddie and Scarlet I can take. Ugh.

Why would she have a YouTube channel? Because she apparently needs to get the "real story" out there. Apparently she thinks her reputation was damaged enough that it is required. Yes I know they spent a lot of time on the island and hardly any of it is there. If you would read Brad's interviews you'll find out there was a lot of his discussion with Tai that was left out of the edit. It happens. I like who I like and I dislike who I dislike.

Why would she even have a YouTube version of her!? It wouldn't be necessary if she didn't think she needed to fix her reputation. I don't care what she said on YouTube. I saw what I saw. As did everyone else. If you want to believe her YouTube story months later after the fact, that's your prerogative. Thai enjoyed hugging and kissing other men. I'm sure he didn't mind filling Brad's torso against his. I doubt there's anything Brad could do that wouldn't offend you.

I live in the Tampa area. Grew up here. Doesn't bother me. It's usually someone I am happy to see. Or someone I am pretending I am happy to see. Except we saw her interact with Brad. That supports what she told her tribe mates. She said it a couple different ways and it sounded the same every time. I'm not usually much of a hugger but I've been small all my life and I'm used to the occasional person picking me up in a bear hug.

Count me in on a pool.

I don't like Tai. I think he plays victim all the time. He is horrible at the game. And if he were a big, straight man, we would think he's a creepy perv. I still think he's a creepy perv.

I've seen the symbol but didn't know it was called a rose compass. I was practically born in the water (and grew up in Tampa) and have been sailing many, many times. The "fish story" is being disputed because Michaela is claiming she wasn't bullying, blackmailing, or being mean. I think she was all three.

Are you aware it's not a livestream? We saw what Michaela said to Brad. And what she said to Cirie. And the cameras. It wasn't until after the show aired that she changed her story. Also, after the show and during, she talked about how she ca only relate to people from similar backgrounds. Michaela doesn't hate Brad but Brad hates her? Sorry, but I don't see her through the same filter as her fans who think that she is so adorable and nice and funny and apparently incapable of hate.

I just read Tai's exit interview and I dislike him even more. "I think I'm adorable" and more crap about how he's the victim. Ugh. Please never again.

I don't think he hated/hates her. He just didn't like being blackmailed.

I think Michaela should have not come back. I was disappointed she got herself voted off early last time. This time she was around long enough to see what a complete ass she is. She didn't try to make any connection with anyone other than Cirie. She doesn't do well outside her comfort zone and apparently the only way she will bother to get to know someone is if they make all the effort (which apparently means adopting their vocabulary to make it easier for her to understand). She's petulant and childish when she doesn't get her way and bossy to more people than Brad. Please let that be the last we see or hear from her. And yet she didn't. She played exactly the same game as last time. Brad at least improved from last time.

Sorry, but I don't agree with your reasoning there. Basically, you don't like Brad and you want to assume the worst of him in every situation. He's not Ted Bundy. He's married, has kids, and a successful law firm. I believe he meant it as a way to show affection and didn't mean anything by it. It has nothing to do with treating Tai as a child but has everything to do with th size difference. I'm only 5'2" and I often get picked up when people hug me. I guess you think they're all showing me disrespect and not affection. The only alternative facts are what Michaela is claiming now. We saw her tell Cirie she was going to make Brad get fish for them to eat and not be able to look for an idol. Cirie was even laughing about it in her TH about how Michaela had no clue how to treat people.

You said yourself that Brad didn't mean anything by it and that it wasn't Brad's intent to physically intimidate him. So you're upset why? Because you don't like Brad.

Also, I don't understand why some people find it offensive that Brad grabbed Tai in a bear hug and lifted him off of the ground. There is quite a height difference. To me it just shows a great deal of affection.

Who wants to spend extra time with Debbie? I think Brad tried to socialize and befriend people. Some, like Michaela, weren't receptive.

Just got out of a meeting and there was a guy in short sleeves and a tie. And I live not too far from Tampa. As far as Michaela and her attitude toward Brad, it's typical of her. I never saw her wanting to have anything to do with Brad other than ordering him to fish but somehow he was supposed to learn more about her than her job and her school. I have good friends that I've known years that I don't know where they went to college. I think he told me once but I can't remember for certain. I don't think that means we're not good friends and I'm not social with them.

I don't buy that for one second. She knew she came off like a bully and had to make up a story. A stupid story at that. She wanted him to go fish to provide her with food and not have time to look for an idol.

Not necessarily during FTC but just in general around camp. And the way she talks to Brad. Always so condescending. Ugh. Get fish. What do you know about me? He starts to answer and she cuts him off. What did she want? What does she know about him?
