For the camera and for reality TV in general, because this season marks her 7th appearance on any reality show on any network

Nicole

I'm just praying that CBS won't draw from the MTV casting pool, because I can think of a few BB vets who will jump at the chance to move back to CBS if that happens, including what has to be the most cringeworthy current reality TV showmance.

I also got the feeling that they really do try to live the Zen lifestyle as much as possible, because I remember Elissa talking in one of this week's clips about how she related to them because she's also very into yoga and generally trying to be healthy/fit.

And from what I've seen in the BB fandom, she didn't seem to be that popular until she started dating Victor, so I'd say he really is more of a ratings draw than she is.

I disagree that it's only because of his relationship with Nicole that Victor was recruited for TAR, because he was one of the fan favorites from BB18, so why wouldn't CBS want to cast a BB fan favorite if they want to attract the BB viewers to TAR?

From the look of relief on Da'vonne's face when TJ announced it was a male elimination day, I have to wonder if TJ deliberately didn't tell them who'd be up for elimination until after the challenge concluded, because that would explain Natalie's freakout more if she genuinely thought she was at risk of being sent into the killing floor. And Paulie would be dumb enough to risk his safety to go after Kyle, especially because you just know that if that happens and Paulie wins, we, and the rest of the people remaining, will never hear the end of how amazing and how much of a competition beast he is for beating a guy that was already injured.

There's gonna be drama for sure, because that's the one thing you can always count on with Rachel...if there's any drama on any show she's on, she's the one in the middle of it

Yeah...Victor was a finance major in college, and some of the competitions he won on Big Brother, including a couple of the ones that got him back into the house, were mental/puzzles. And I've seen Colin & Christie liking a lot of his and Nicole's Instagram posts, so those two teams are most likely on good terms as well.

I actually remember Nicole saying on an episode of the podcast that she and Victor do that when she went on to play BB a second time, she didn't enjoy the experience as much as she did the first time, because second time around, she was so hyper focused on winning that she forgot about the fun element. And I can definitely see that being the case here, especially because she's also been open about how she's always had anxiety about anything that involved her being out of her comfort zone.

Or Corinne & Eliza...not picky about the order as long as those two are the next teams to go

It's easy to tell Janelle & Britney apart. Janelle's the taller more plastic looking blonde, and Britney's the one that has the funny one liners

In a funny twist, turns out Jerri was right about the whole shelter flooding when the rains came in, and Rupert's prophecy about the shelter being the most creative one was false, especially considering that the winning shelter included a porch swing made out of one of the trees.

That was the one where Ozzy got blindsided, and I'd be making those faces too, because even Eliza outing him as having the idol at the previous tribal wasn't enough to actually consider that he might have been in danger and actually bring said idol to tribal/play it.

That was actually his second season/the show's first All Stars season where they had that America's tribal council $1M award. And I was somewhat surprised he won it, because it wasn't like he was up against complete nobodies, since his main competition for that award was none other than Rob Mariano.

Most likely. I was thinking that the BB teams must have decided to go under the knife as part of their TAR prep, because not only do Rachel and Elissa look like they overdosed on the lip plumper, but I barely recognized Janelle (taller blonde that got the chocolate sandal on her first try) because of how plastic she looks, and Nicole (blonde with the messy hair) looks like she got one botched up nose job

Laura definitely must have learned plenty of patience if she's been married to Rupert for 30+ years

No kidding, because the only thing worse than one obnoxious reality TV fame chaser is having two of them on the same show

I see we're in the same boat when it comes to BB. And I actually have seen Bear before, because he was on a season of the UK version of Celebrity BB. And let's just say that with both him and Frankie Grande making the finals, and Bear winning, you can imagine how watching the entire season was, especially when Bear was the more obnoxious one of the two.

Even more nauseating is that MTV just had to put Bear on the same season, and I can't honestly decide which one is the bigger narcissist sociopath.

Yeah...he stayed out of the drama and avoided being in the line of fire up until around episode 6, when he was voted into elimination because some of the more cutthroat/nastier guys apparently couldn't believe that Victor really was that laid back, and they were convinced it was just a front.

Her most memorable Survivor moment

You nailed exactly why I couldn't stand Charla & Mirna either. I don't like anyone who blatantly plays the poor me/pity card to get ahead, and that was their MO during the whole race.

The cattiness/trash talking has been Corinne's thing since her first season of Survivor

Yeah...he was cast on the Vendettas season as Natalie's vendetta. From what I remember, he wasn't really a fit for the usual cutthroat politicking that goes on there, so this race should be more his thing
