Mystery

TPTB should start taking $10k off the prize each time *anyone* mentions a DR. Whoever's up for eviction could get it down to half just during their week!

SO YOU SHOULD.

I think that BB is one of the shows you can see for free, but it might take a few days. I don't have cable, just over-the-air, and I've watched a few episodes on cbs.com (i think there might be a limit, like you can see 5 shows a month). Right now it looks like they have Sunday's episode for free.

From the linked thread about Kat and her ex, OF COURSE they were planning to do The Amazing Race after BB. Famewhores ruin everything.

Yeah Grodner has to go.

Can anything be worse than that? Really? See, this is where my Big Brother Dream Contestant steps in. Someone who actually has a job and is otherwise employable even if they lost that job in the crazy mistake of applying for Big Brother. Someone who isn't trying to live on the stipend and fanciful thoughts of fame after Big Brother. That person will say "yeah, Jack, f*** that noise, I'm talking game all the time to anyone I want to." Sadly, Grodner just keeps casting people who play for the stipend. I do. Sadly. I can see all of us standing in a row, Big Brother style, for this test.

This made me laugh out loud, and I had to try to turn it into a cough for the benefit of the other people on the boring teleconference that I'm on remotely. THANKS FOR ENDANGERING MY JOB, DAKOTALAVENDER! 🙂

That's an image that I can't unsee!

You just know he does the same thing with women, like "babe" or whatever. "I like my alliances like I like my women: interchangeable." By the way Callaphera, you are a national treasure.

There were definitely some animals there, in cages, and others were edited in. How fun would it be to use the new power to take down two people who are totally unrelated to you? Of course you'd be taking the chance that you get put up. But the two of them would look so duplicitous, especially if one was an "in" person who had agreed to be put up as a decoy.

The first thing I thought during the competition (after, as others noted, aggravating myself by castigating the 8s for not spreading their competitors around) was that there was no way that California's employee-friendly labor laws would have allowed the show to make someone throw up, so the "vomit" sign would never get used. I was surprised that some, if not most, of the competitors smelled all 3 and then ran out. I would have been doing it one at a time.

She reminds me of Busy Phillips.

Like The Shining, where a character lives in the book and dies in the movie. In his decades-later sequel Doctor Sleep, King even had two characters talk about how one of them died in the movie. If a movie is going to be very different from a book, I'd rather that they just make a separate movie instead of sucking in the built-in audience that loved the book. For instance, the Keira Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice changed a lot of things that made no sense in the context of the story in that time. And yet "Clueless," without using the book as its title, retained a lot of the spirit of Emma.

That nickname's gonna tip off some of the people, though! 🙂
