There's the possibility that they all just really suck at the puzzle and still haven't put it together. It did look like Enzo did a minor Clown Shoe on a piece that had fallen behind the platform (but of course he would find it quickly and it may be a dummy piece). 

Or CBS just sucks. I think I'll go with that one.

I'm of several different minds about this whole mess.  I do think it was fine for her game to target Bay/Day as a duo, which however it started out is the case now.  But I'm sorry -her going on about

Maybe David finished it but forgot to hit the buzzer and they are all just waiting for him to remember?

I had not heard this tea! Seems Boogie is a jealous loser who can't get anyone to put him on TV without Will, who is the only one in their little "pair" that people actually like. 

He knows it too, which is why he had a crazy meltdown at Will turning down The Amazing Race.

While we wait for the feeds to come back, I thought I would share with you all that I accidentally pulled a Raven and undercooked my sole just a bit tonight. Because I decided to keep eating it despite being slightly underdone in the middle (my pan was too hot), I'd just like to say that it was an honour serving with all of you. You're wonderful people and I'll miss you.

Oh and if I don't die, I didn't mean any of that. 

Oh and feeds are back.

Da'Vonne, Cody, (in another room) Kevin, David, and Enzo aren't wearing the key.

What was the reasoning for Day, Kevin, and David to vote out Tyler? Did they ever say?

Did they really think the votes were there to vote him out or were they trying to force a tie? 

This vote should make it crystal clear to them that it's Day, David, and Kev against everyone else.

Last night Day and Kevin were talking in bed before going asleep and Day said that David is just weird. She said that when he talks to her she just goes "mmhmm" (just basically agreeing with everything he says) and she said that she told him that no one bought his fake crying act at noms. But everytime I've seen them talk, David seems like a totally different person than he does around everyone else...like he's normal, and thoughtful with good ideas and Day definitely shares her thoughts with him. So, idk if she was trying to mislead Kevin or what.

The reason I bring it up is because of Nicole's plan to blame David for flipping...I'm just wondering if Day will fall for it or if she doesn't trust Kevin enough to tell him the truth.

She also said that Cody wouldn't put her up if he won HOH. I meannnnn, I really hope that she doesn't think that.

Well I won’t be watching the show this week.

There's really no point until Veto is played. And if David or Kevin take themselves off the block, Da'Vonne will be replacement. The only potential spoiler is if the same thing happens this week: Da'Vonne wins Veto, uses it to save one of them, Enzo goes up in their place, and whoever remained on the block gets voted out anyway. Woo.

Damn. I figured it would be Memphis, since he was way ahead of everybody else when the episode was ending. Maybe he’ll put up Nicole and Dani, since they dared to question the sanctity of the Dictatorship, I mean, Committee.

Who am I kidding, of course it will be Kevin and David. In Memphis’ defense, though <gag> , I think he pretty much has to nominate David, who has been going full Inigo Montoya toward Memphis since his first HoH.

Totally agree. I don't think it's a case of Memphis being racist at all. Though, if I was one of those poor Cajuns, I might take exception

Nothing to do with BB but kind of does. My brother was on assignment in Louisiana last week. He said an older white guy was telling him a story and kept referring to a really nice "colored" girl. My brother asked should he be offended. In the end we just laughed and said that's progress in 2020 because who knows what term he may have been comfortable using a few years ago. 

Back to Big Brother. I'm so afraid for tonight's HOH comp. I just no someone I deeply dislike (Xmas or Cody) is going to win. Has anyone been talking about throwing?

I will probably get hell for this but, my friend who is black (That does need to be said for the context of what I am about to post) gets offended by the term People of Color.  He always says to me, "Why do white liberals think calling me a POC is any different than calling me colored?  Just because they add two words in front of it does not make it less offensive to me."

That is his view on the term POC, that is why I never use that term and I do cringe when I see it.  I mean most people seem to be okay tossing it around but due to my friend's view on it, I am not a fan of the term.

I'm a person of color who does not mind the term at all. My sister and I are African American and Native American on both sides of our family, and she looks more AA while I look more NA and some people think we are Polynesian. 

The term "Person of Color" is used because it is a larger catch all when people don't want to limit to one specific race or do not know a specific race and do not want to be offensive. 

So, yes, people do not think of it as calling someone "colored" because it is less limiting and more inclusive. There is also an issue with using the terms African American and Native American when you do not know the country of origin of the person.

I understand why it is used, he always says, "Just call me Frank or black and we're good."  That is always his go to line when anyone says anything like that to him.  I guess my point being is, he finds it offensive because he views it as nothing more than a politically correct term for white liberals to use to feel good about themselves for not saying colored people, while he does not see the difference between the two words.  Whereas you do not find the term offensive at all.  That is why I stay away from the term all together because I never know who may or may not find it offensive.

It is like the term Latinx, I started seeing it pop up in media that has a liberal bent to it a few years ago and I had no clue what it meant.  I remember asking another friend of mine who is from Guatemala, if he knew he was Latinx and he laughed and said he did not even know what that meant.  I told him and he rolled his eyes and laughed.

Just to be clear, I am not trying to make fun of liberals here as I am a center leaning lefty myself.  I just always wonder if these terms that start out in academia with good intentions really mean much to the communities that they are supposed to be used for.  Or if a lot of the members of the communities are like, "What the hell does that mean?" or "That term does not represent me."

 

Anyway, back on topic it sucks that Memphis won HOH.  I really wanted to see something, anything that could mess this game up just a little bit.  I always find the best seasons are the ones where there is a back and fourth between two opposing groups.  Or even when there is many opposing groups going against each other (Though I do not think that has ever happened on the American version, but I do think it has happened on the Canadian version unless I am misremembering).

I'm gonna grasp at straws of hope and cling to Memphis saying to Nicole, "If you want to hang out with Ian in jury we can make that happen," is a crazy bit of foreshadowing.

Sadly if he did do that he would probably just end up putting her against David or Kevin. 

Despite winning two HOH's it seems like Memphis is really a non-entity in this game.  Which is an odd thing to say because he has won two HOH's.

I often forget he is there.  Honestly, if it was not for @Lamb18 coming up with inventive names for him, I would not even know he was on this season.

It's like Memphis took a page out of Dan's playbook. Only instead of reading the Bible while the world house burns around him, he sleeps. 

To be fair, sleeping/napping (and copious amounts of cheap wine) is how I'm surviving quarantine so I get it.

I truly forget that he is there, until all of this talk about him over the past day or whatever.  As I said Lamb reminds me that he there every morning with their post and then I completely forget he's there until he opens his mouth and says something stupid.  He is like the Silence on Dr. Who, you only notice he is there when you see him and then you completely forget about him once you don't see him.

Here's my final thoughts about Memphis and his use of "coon ass." In that conversation, he was talking about poor, white Cajuns and how they talk. What he fails to realize is that the phrase, I'm sure, started off as a way of insulting poor whites by comparing them to blacks, hence the inclusion of the racist slur "coon." I'm sure Memphis has heard that word many times to describe that specific dialect of poor whites in his community, and because he's white, he didn't think too deeply about it because as a white man, he has absorbed bucket loads of racist (and homophobic) slang, stereotypes, attitudes, and beliefs living in America, some of which he recognizes as offensive, and some of which he's likely blind to. 

Finally, since he clearly wasn't referring to black Americans when he used the word "coon ass," I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but if others aren't, that's fine too. 

I'm just not on the train who thinks Memphis needs to be canceled, yet...:) 

 

Late to the party here but I'm Cajun and grew up with my entire family using that term to describe themselves. I actually had no idea that the word "coon" even had racist connotations until I became an adult. Having said that, Memphis is a grown ass grandpa in his late 30s and should know that 99% of the country has probably never heard the term before and will think he's making a racist slur. I would also add that Memphis seems like the type of asshole who could care less and would use said word again regardless. So... yeah. Don't think he was being racist at that particular moment.

My 2:15 am deliriously tired theory is that the neighbor's house may be the jury house? Not sure how they could shake things up. The only reason I even consider this as a possibility, is that because of what's going on in the city maybe they had to keep the jury house on the lot for logistical and safety purposes? Maybe?

Just out of curiosity .... what was Kevin’s look for?  After Ian left and people inside the house were hugging.  Was it directed at someone or his feelings at the moment just in general?

ETA  Looks like he was just watching Ian’s face on the board go dark.  And maybe a little ‘Kevin face’ going on.
