LoveLeigh July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 (edited) This is repulsive... this is so a transparent AG manipulative move. The two TA options were set up knowing that the first option to f**k with the votes would be chosen and she did it so Amber would be saved when Derrick, Frankie, and Donny flipped their votes. Donny is right to refuse this task. If he doesn't go along with it he has integrity and they all lose the task and then should vote how they want. I call bullshit on this show and productions' interference under the guise of "TEAM AMERICA." What it is is BRIBERY to manipulate the game in productions' favor as evidenced by the way the choices are designed. Production wants Amber in this game fo the Caleb/Amber drama. When they caught a whiff that she might be leaving, they scrambled to create an irresistible choice for the voters that could save her. Production manipulated the eviction votes.

Runningwild July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 (edited) I really don't see production allowing Donny to get voted out anytime soon. What if they are manipulating the danger of Donny being voted out so they can manipulate his 11th hour pardons just to boost ratings? Yes, after all the hinkiness of Evil Dick's season, I am that paranoid. Edited July 31, 2014 by Runningwild Link to comment

Morbs July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 (edited) I think the guys look cute in their backwards/slanted hats. But the actual hats, the floral or hot pink or snake skin, are really awful. I'd rather get called a kid than a bro, I don't really get the appeal in talking like everyone else when it comes to popular slang. "Epic" always bugs me, but I do like Cody's use of smokin' because it makes me laugh. Cody really over uses "obsessed". I use kid a lot, but usually about someone younger than myself. I think it's just one of those words that have has evolved in it's meaning, kinda like the word girl, and no longer always has to do with age. Edited July 31, 2014 by Morbs 1 Link to comment

peachmangosteen July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 (edited) Vic hangs out in the KT because Derrick is there. She's taking a page out of Caleb's book. Why yes because of course there is no other reason to sit in the kitchen. This shit with them saying all Victoria does is follow Derrick and Hayden around it driving nuts. It just isn't true. And why doesn't everyone whine about how Zach follows Frankie around or how Cody is literally Derrick's bitch? Oh, I forgot, they're men. Donny doesn't want to do the TA task, and he told Frankie and Derrick that he doesn't really want to be on TA. He sounded over it. When they heard that, Frankie and Derrick immediately decided Donny had to go. I thought the mission would cause some drama, but not like this! This pleases me! If Donny stops giving a fuck about TA then he'll totally go after Derrick/Frankie! The only reason he's gone away from that is TA. I hope he just says fuck it and refuses to do the TA task, wins HOH, and noms those 2! I was just skimming updates on Joker's and it sounds like Frankie realizes that he doesn't have any tight allies other than Zach and is trying to rope in Christine and perhaps Donny and Hayden. Does anyone know what Christine is thinking? Does she trust Frankie at all? It's hard to read where Christine's loyalties really lie because she throws every single person UTB at any opportunity. I think she was initially most loyal to Frankie, but her game is really to just do whatever everyone else (meaning Derrick) is doing, so if Derrick decides to get rid of Frankie, she'd go along with it. Production wants Amber in this game fo the Caleb/Amber drama. When they caught a whiff that she might be leaving, they scrambled to create an irresistible choice for the voters that could save her. Production manipulated the eviction votes. I don't believe that was the intent, but even if it was, it won't work, so meh. But honestly I am all for Amber staying over Jocasta. Jocasta is completely useless and her DRs drive me insane. Where does she get off ever talking about Victoria crying or doing nothing? Like really is she serious?

Production wants Amber in this game fo the Caleb/Amber drama. When they caught a whiff that she might be leaving, they scrambled to create an irresistible choice for the voters that could save her. Production manipulated the eviction votes. Yes, I agree. Production is very likely reading the fan sites, including here. The most talked about talking points are the Caleb/Amber drama, Frankie, Derrick, and Zach. The one that has the most emotional charge is obviously Caleb's obsession with Amber, and her attempts to play the game while keeping Caleb and arms length. His increasing aggression is just a draw to the sociopathic types that seem to be running this show. I wonder if production is going to keep all of the above in the game as long as possible, while keeping Donny there as Plan B in case all the other drama's play out. 1 Link to comment
vb68 July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 (edited) I agree that Donny overreacted on that. I get that it was the middle of the night and he was woken up, but goodness he needed to be a bit more savvy with those two than flat out saying no. He already knows they are snakes and would love to drop him. Expect the unexpected Donny. As far as TA messing with votes, sure it's shady but hardly anything new. I guess I'm kinda immune to it now. This still doesn't even remotely come to Evil Dick's season for me. ETA: This is how I see it. I think production wants Jocasta gone because she doesn't bring any drama and she's sick a lot. They want to keep the Amber/Caleb story line as long as they can. Not to mention, there's a decent argument to be had on whether she's actually even playing. I think she's certainly more out of the loop than even Victoria. Edited July 31, 2014 by vb68 1 Link to comment
Skycatcher July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 "No Penis = No Game" & "No Balls = No Backbone" Conversely, no game, no backbone would = no balls, etc? Which would apply to at least one or two of the guys, especially Caleb. Amber is the only "game" he is hunting for. As for the 4skin, I too read it to mean.......um.....uncircumcised? The few times I've been up late enough to watch BBAD have rendered me completely over pool/billiards/whatever. OMG - it's like watching the fake grass grow - numbing. But I did LOL when one of the (interchangeable) guys "accidentally" poked a hole in the tabletop.

Jrae9233 July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 If Donny doesn't want to do the challenge and I was on team America I'd want him out too. Do not mess with my money no matter how nice you are. He can sit outside outside game snug with his integrity. Integrity has no business in Big Brother. Of course the manipulation doesn't bother me either, especially since the players go in the game knowing it's going to happen. It's a game and if people could understand that we wouldn't have these unanimous votes all the time. Personal feelings do not belong on a game where the objective is to vote people out. 1 Link to comment

OMG - it's like watching the fake grass grow - numbing. But I did LOL when one of the (interchangeable) guys "accidentally" poked a hole in the tabletop. It looked more like goofing around that got away from him, than any kind of accident.Way back in my college days I used to shoot eight-ball to keep gas in my tank, so I've been enjoying the billiard play. At the very least, it's been more interesting than anything else going on in the House at the time. Plus, I think the bowahs got more worked up over the which-ball-got-hit-first argument than they have in half this season's competitions. They were arguing - passionately - over the shot when BBAD went to commercial. My wife said I was crazy when I said, "Just watch - they'll still be arguing when they come back" - then busted out laughing when upon return the cameras were focused on Frankie and Amber's conversation, but you could still hear them shouting at each other in the background. She said, "What's the big deal? It's just a game", to which I replied, "It's a guy thing." :)Zach's tear of the felt was an accident born of ignorance, pure and simple. He was trying a shot with some radical English - I couldn't see the table lay good, but I think the cue ball was pinned behind another ball, and he was trying to hop the cue ball over the obstruction. Kid needs a LOT more practice before attempting a shot like that, tho. I didn't even see him chalk up good beforehand. :P ETA: format cleanup Edited July 31, 2014 by Nashville Link to comment

Jrae9233, although I don't disagree with your basic point I often wonder how accurate this is. They frequently cast "big fans" who have never watched the feeds or read forums. These people may have never heard anyone talk about manipulation of the game or the players. They also have their fair share of recruits who have only seen seasons that they were given in sequester. Of course, the show's motto is "expect the unexpected." Ultimately they should know that they have no way of knowing exactly what they will need to face. Link to comment
Ananayel July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 If they're going to set up situations with America that have that degree of meddling in peoples' games, Grodner should just go whole hog - have America be the second HOH in the dual version, or have America get to cast a vote to evict, with the players not knowing who we voted out. Something that directly impacts the game without the possibility of tanking individual players. Just be straight up about the game not being entirely in their own hands. But that would be even more boring and insufferable that it is now, as everyone tries to curry favor with "America" by being either a "character" like Frankie/Zach or a do-nothing like Jocasta. 1 Link to comment

HurricaneVal July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 I canNOT wait for tonight. Eh, maybe I can. This group talks big, but then consistently fails to deliver. I mean, back when Zach said he was going to "tear this house up," his nomination speech was so tame, not even an expletive like "fruit loop dingus" could save it. Ditto for the big Veto speech. <yawn> That's basically what his target--Amber--did after being so disfunctionally railed at. So the whole "Caleb is going to effing blow!" anticipation will probably lead to a single tear, manfully wiped from his face, while he cradles his pickle in his bathrobe pocket. I absolutely hated Evil Dick, but at least when he shook up the house, he really did as promised. 1 Link to comment

Badsamaritan July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 AG has already done the ultimate saving, a couple times. When they basically voided Chima's HOH and then when they got wind that Booger's lil butt monkey Frank was gonna be voted out. If I could believe that saving Amber tonight would unleash an avenging fury the likes of which Xena Warrior Princess would approve and be proud, I'd be all for AG using her hellish powers for good for once instead of for evil and saving Amber. As it is, I have to resign myself to being glad that Amber will at least be out of the disturbing, crazy-as-a-bag-of-cats gaze of Big Scary Ass Baby.

Xazeal July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 I actually hope that there are no shenanigans tonight and that Amber really does go. Based on their pre-show bios, I expected to hate her, but I feel bad for her now. She was truly dealt a shitty hand this season. The Caleb situation basically defined her entire existence on the show and destroyed any chances she had of actually playing the game. It sucks, but I'm glad she'll finally be able to get away from these awful, awful people. Too bad there is no chance she'll be brought back for a future season, unless Caleb is brought back with her. I will say, though, that this banana/pickle situation is perhaps the most absurd thing I have ever seen on this show, and I am thoroughly enjoying it, and I hope they show all of it tonight, because how could they not? 4 Link to comment

I realize he has self esteem issues and probably a severely low I.Q, but I like to have people called on their shit and so far I get no such satisfaction with these people who only do it behind his back. I think he hams it up occasionally too, but it is absolutely relentless the way he talks about Amber 24 hours a day, so I think there is definitely an unhealthy obsessive behavior going on too.
