Sammich63 August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 Is is possible that Frankie is set on getting Donny out because he sees him as possibly more popular than he is, and this same reasoning being used on backdooring Zach? I truly want this person out of the house. The players do get paid in the jury, right? I ask because apparently Donny mentioned that this last TA mission will be the last money he makes ... unless he was referring to his last $5K he'll receive. Also, what does WC mean? Is there a dictionary for all the room abbreviations? Link to comment
Wings August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 Possible, but very, very unlikely. Because we can't have nice things. Damn, I keep forgetting about that. WC is water closet, the Britsh term for toilet. 1 Link to comment
TexasChic August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 (edited) WC means water closet, which is apparently another name for bathroom (specifically the toilet). It took me a while to figure it out as well. Edited August 24, 2014 by TexasChic Link to comment
Pixel August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 Speaking of the WC, I noticed a couple of weeks ago on BBAD that when Caleb went in, the camera zoomed in and lingered on the "VACANT" sign on the door. I'd like to think that was silent commentary on his mental prowess. 8 Link to comment

Newbietunes August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 I have already started wondering what the hell I'm going to do when the season ends. I minimally post in a few other threads but due to the ever-changing live feed I spend the most time over here. I'm going to go through serious withdrawals when my yearly summer crack supply ends. First thing I do every morning when I sit down with my phone and my tea: check the weather report, check the news headlines and make a mental note of which stories to go back and actually read later, then I come here. Oh, and those nights like Thursday when the HOH comp went late, and that other time a POV went late, when I woke up at 4:00 a.m. to use the facilities, I checked my phone to see who won before going back to sleep. It's definitely an addiction. 3 Link to comment
ZSweetJane August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 (edited) I'm not worried about Derrick losing if he makes it to F2. If he faces Frankie, Cody, or Caleb, at least 5 people on the jury will know he's been running the show: Hayden, Jacosta, Donny, Nicole, and Victoria.

Skycatcher August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 (edited) I am embarrassed that Frankie is the example of the gay community we are seeing on this show. I can't remember a gay BB hamster who wasn't some kind of stereotype, usually the more flamboyant, the better. And in some cases, Andy especially, they devolve into embarrassments for any community. But by the time that happens, most of the hamsters are embarrassments. Donny seems to be the exception. Edited August 24, 2014 by Skycatcher Link to comment

parisprincess August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 I know this has been discussed numerous times on various boards, but I have forgotten; what is the weekly stipend for the houseguests? I think those who leave before jury get $1K (?) per week for each week they're in the house. Do the jury members just get the stipend for each week they're in the house, or are the weeks in jury included (which would mean they all get the same amount)? Of course the top two don't get the stipends, and all HGs get additional money that they've won in competitions, "twists" or AFP (if they have it this year). Am I correct on this? . Being tolerant or accepting of homosexuality doesn't mean you have to happily agree to be mauled by someone on an hourly basis. Amen! Frankie said that after the game is over, maybe Zach will realize he's in love with him. Does Frankie think he's so adorable and desirable that he can turn straight guys gay? Link to comment
Wings August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 I think the stipend in 1k per week while in the house, I heard Derrick and Caleb talking about this before they got reprimanded. They were not even sure, themselves. It makes sense that the jury weeks would be less but I don't know that. I would be shocked if the winner is deprived of his salary for being in the house for 3 months. Certainly they get to keep that. You have to pay people who work for you and they are basically employees! That is over 13k! Link to comment
AndreaK1041 August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 (edited) Has everyone agreed to do this dumb play? Because I hardly think that Frankie doing a performance is going to fly as a task. This doesn't seem like something Cody, Victoria or Christine will be up for at all. Eta: they get the same $1000/week whether they are in the house or jury. Many of them were happy to have locked in $15k for the summer when jury starts. Eta again: the winner does not get a stipend.

Thalia August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 Oh, this play is supposed to be the Team America task? I wondered why Donny was going along with it, because I think it sounds kind of mean spirited. Although he did refuse to play Jocasta because he didn't want to hurt her feelings. Instead he'll be Devin. Although I have to question the wisdom of this. Sure, Jocasta will cry. Devin has the ability to rip him into to tiny little pieces. But anyhow, this isn't a hard task at all. It is just the kind of thing they do every year, like the dumb Amanda-McCrae wedding, to kill time. Link to comment
TimWil August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 Could someone please post a link to the moment last night when Frankie made that ill-judged remark about lesbians choosing to be lesbians later in life? I can't seem to find it on you-know-what. Thanks. Link to comment

Some hamsters lose quite a bit of money being on BB so at jury they have to have an incentive to stay to vote if they know they cant get first or second prize dough or any real screen time. I heard its the same and I guess Andrea did as well. It's fucked up the winner doesn't get their stipend money. I'd be really pissed off about that and that's some cheap ass shady shit by cb sucks.

Wings August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 If it is true that America votes on this as a a yay or nay if it passed as a good task, it will fail unless TV viewers by some insanity thinks it is good. I will be shocked if I hear any live feeder like this. On a side note the TV shows are so behind that it is laughable. In this fast paced world of technology they really cannot produce a show closer to when thing happen? Tonight we see the HOHs move into their rooms. What fun. Link to comment
Pixel August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 (edited) Speaking of Frankie's incredible misunderstanding of homosexuality, he's obviously got lesbians and bisexuals confused. A woman who has previously enjoyed an attraction to men and is now dating/sleeping with women (or vice versa) has not chosen to become a lesbian. She has chosen to be with someone of the same sex, but she is still not a lesbian, she's a bisexual who is currently in a relationship with a woman. Now, everyone is obviously different, and if she was with men for other reasons (like societal expectations, religion, etc.), then maybe she's a lesbian, but she didn't suddenly choose it. She just acknowledged she hasn't been who she was meant to be. Oh, hell. I don't need to tell you guys. You're more enlightened than Frankie Sparkles. He is incredibly narrow minded for someone in a group of people who know how important open mindedness is. Edited August 24, 2014 by Pixel 16 Link to comment

For the most part I've tolerated Frankie, probably because I am rarely firing up the feeds this summer, but last night his "expert" explanation of men being born gay and women choosing to be gay made me want to scream at the screen.

Turtle August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 I really hope someone in that house comes to their senses and points out to the rest of the HGs what a ridiculously stupid idea this play is. Barring that, I really hope Frankie gets all excited about it and puts a lot of effort in to it, and then it gets absolutely zero TV time, not even a mention. Because the whole idea is just mind-numbingly stupid. Although, I guess since they want this to be a TA task, they'll air it. For some reason, I am really pissed off about the whole play idea. 2 Link to comment

As soon as I posted that I realized I shouldn't have used the word never, especially when I've rarely been watching the feeds and only watching BBAD to fall asleep at night. I stand corrected. Am I wrong in recalling that it was small consolation one year that the second place winner actually ended up with more money than the winner because of other prizes won and the stipend? Or maybe that was survivor. I seem to remember when someone ended up with more money than the second place winner of $50K (maybe Jeff?) because they won $25K for America's Favorite Player plus some prize money (or value of a prize) plus their stipend. If Donny won America's Fav plus his TA money plus his stipend it could equal (or exceed) second place too. Edited August 24, 2014 by Cosmocrush 3 Link to comment
AndreaK1041 August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 I think both Jeff and Janelle got more money than 2nd place by finishing 3rd and winning America's favorite plus bonuses. 1 Link to comment
NeelyO August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 In Zach's interview with Jeff, he said that he played along and tolerated all the handsy stuff from Frankie because he wanted to win $500K. He said that to win the money, he was OK with letting Frankie kiss his neck. I always got the feeling that Zach was the guy who had the least problem with Frankie being so touchy feely but that Caleb and Cody didn't really mind it because Frankie also tells them how hot they are all the time and those two eat that stuff up. I think it's sort of like Christine letting Frankie have the HOH room all week instead of kicking him out -- just isn't worth potentially upsetting the special snowflake and have him turn on you. The one scene I did catch on the feeds (and I think someone on this forum posted a screen shot from the scene), was Frankie jumping on Zach and sticking his face into Zach's crotch, when Zach pushed him off laughing, Frankie started licking or kissing Zach's nipple. Zach laughed and pushed him off and covered his nipple with his hand. This was in front of a group sitting in the living room and Caleb was laughing it up. That was the one where I wouldn't have blamed Zach a bit if he had gotten a bit rough with Frankie or at least told him to knock it off. I think Frankie was playing it for laughs but I also wonder if Frankie kind of knows he can get away with this stuff while in the house with these three attractive guys and takes advantage. 6 Link to comment
Pixel August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 I feel like these guys are just so afraid of being seen as homophobic that Frankie's able to get away with murder.

housecat August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 It'll take Derrick hours to get out of the fetal position. Frankie will burst into dramatic tears with quick checks to make sure his camera angles are good, all while wailing "What have we DONE?" Caleb will scratch his head and start a rambling story about how this is how he will be welcomed when he leaves (as the winner, at least in his head), and Amber will be there with a huge bouquet of flowers and a key to her hotel room. Cody will scratch his balls and go to bed, where Christine will join him. While they mutually masturbate each other Cody will talk about all the times he called Donny out and how he'll do it again when it's all over. Christine will talk about how horrible and creepy Donny is, and blame him for people thinking she was acting at all inappropriate with a man who was not her husband. Victoria will wander into the bathroom and reapply her makeup while whining about her bleeding scalp and her extreme oral pain, then go find some potato chips. OMG!! This is fucking amazing!!!
