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.

[grandmabegum]

@BK1978 Of course Memphis is going to put up at least David or Kevin. And of course one of them will go to jury. Just wishful thinking.

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.

[grandmabegum]

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?

[Ellee]

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.

Great thought. My first thought was it will be Derrick or Frankie because we can’t have nice things.

I guess it depends on how much interaction the "legend" will have with the HGs but a lot of people seem to be eliminated based on Tweets alone (location, activies, etc.) as they aren't quarantined.

Well part of being autistic is not really being able to gage the right emotional temperature. I'm a teacher who has taught ASD kids and part of the disability is they can seem really blase about some things that actually freak most people out and then throw a tantrum about small things. I think this is what we're seeing with Ian. To a lesser extent we saw it with Steve and his irrational hatred of Becky. Of course that became a comic storyline of BB17 but it was similar -- she could be talking about Abercrombie discount sales and he'd foam at the mouth. 

Becky talking about Abercrombie discount sales made ME foam at the mouth. I had a bizarre severe aversion to her that I wanted to throat punch her during her little discussions of how her roommates are all paleo and make their own sunscreen and they had a party and the males invited ranked her 3rd best looking in the house out of the 6 who lived there. Oh and her musings on IPA beer and how she is a “shush-Er” and tends to “manage” men in relationships because she manages young adults at her important job scheduling part timers as a manager at Abercrombie. Becky Becky Train Wrecky drove me nuts and I rarely even have strong feelings for houseguests. Her particular bland of blah bored me to itchy tears. 😭😂

How did she get hit in the face by a TRAIN??? That is the most bizarre story ever. I don’t understand how you can’t hear it coming. I’m still confused, but I do NOT want her or anyone to explain it again.

I'm still trying to catch up, so can someone explain this to me?

Why on earth did Dani put Tyler on the block before she checked with her alliance and made sure they were on board to get him out? I know the powers complicated things, but she should have been prepared and had a few options in case something was used at the nomination ceremony. Considering this is the third time she's played, I cannot get over the misstep here.

Also, I've decided my moniker for Christmas shall be National Victims of Vehicular Violence Day.

That's an interesting idea, to let the evicted HG hang out next door and secretly watch the HG's still in the game, much like the HOH can watch what's going on from the HOH room.  If we can't have Janelle and Kaysar as the secret next-door neighbors and listen to their commentary on live feeds, this would be a great substitute.

It makes me sad, too. The misspellings, the places where a comma would have come in handy, "best still" instead of "be still", and he calls her his "baby mama" which is a pet peeve of mine and has racist connotations (it's used as a weapon against black women). Actually it sounds like Dani wrote it before she left and Dom just added his name to the bottom. Oh and that "Lol" in a letter is just cringe IMO. 

At the risk of putting my foot in my mouth (but when has that ever stopped me before?) coupled with the fact that I'm often horrible at explaining what I mean...

I understand the racial connotations of the term, but as a bi-racial, black-presenting man I've always used it indiscriminately for all races because it is really accurate to describe a specific relationship that other words don't easily work for. You could say "girlfriend" or "ex" or "ex-girlfriend" (but those don't necessarily imply a child is involved). Obviously "mother of my child" would be far more proper, but I just think "baby mama" has a certain connotation that I actually respect because it gives you a lot of context. Generally, that term is used for someone you were never married to (or sometimes not even in a relationship with). Dom using it in what he thinks is a comical context is more annoying because a) it's not a funny term to me and b) he is married to Dani and "baby mama" is a few rungs below the status of wife. So it reads as almost disrespectful to me. "Tennessee's mom" would have worked just as well.

As someone who will never have kids and probably will never get married, I don't know why the fact that other people have children out of wedlock bothers me or seems dis-preferable. Especially because I'm not religious (although I was brought up by a mother who was). I guess I just think of it as a respect thing, where you should have enough respect for the woman you're with to put a ring on it, especially if you're going to procreate with her. And I know that may seem a bit sexist, but generally that's how society works. If the man doesn't want to get married, generally y'all ain't getting married. And I know plenty of couples are happy without getting married, and even having children without getting married, but... that wouldn't be for me (and again, it's totally irrelevant to me for the aforementioned reasons). I consider myself to be fairly live and let live, but I honestly think so many issues arise from society because of the circumstances and demographics of single-parent households (and that is among all races). I think things can come across as racist merely if they are more prevalent among certain races, even if the general principle isn't racist. Anyway, I'm probably just rambling now and should shut up. (Story of my life, tbh.) It really is not my intention to offend anybody, but that's usually what people who say offensive things say (which I at least have the self-awareness to realize). I think I'm just a judgmental bitch, and it explains why I live an opulent life of solitude.

That sure was a lot to say about a letter that a former reality participant sent to his current reality participant wife.

@Suzysite I don't find her annoying, but I can see it. My concern with her going would be that, IMO, she's on of the least boring people in the house. Someone mentioned earlier that they forget that Memphis is in the house. I second that notion and will raise, I feel the same about David and Kevin, too. Unless they have something that actual moves the story forward they are ghosts.

She had to choose someone on the spot, didn't she, when all houseguests were together listening to the creepy voice? I don't think there was a time she could have met with her alliance after she knew the power was used.

[Lamb18]

By the way, both David and Kevin are up. David is wandering around in the kitchen. Kevin is in the Heart room talking to himself, wrapped in the gray Linus blanket.

I don't see Bugscuffle, TN (Memphis) but maybe he is taking advantage of having a room to himself and sleeping in.

David isn't wandering around. He is a man with a purpose: cleaning the refrigerator. 

[Gummo]

Ugh. If Dani & Nicole had any ovaries, they could have gotten Tyler out, and teamed up with the outsiders for a solid 6 - Dani, Nicole, Ian, David, Kevin, Day. And taken control of the game. But I guess the lure of the Kool Kids Klub was just too strong. 

Now we just watch the pagonging unless Day, Kevin or David get HOH. And knowing David, even if he does, he'll screw it up. 

Kinda feels like the last chance to make this season interesting just slipped away. Looking at a brotastic finale.

Don't know if I should post this here or in the episode thread so apologies in advance.

Bugscuffle sighting! He just went up the stairs to the HOH room. Camera did not follow. David cleaning the refrigerator and Kevin in the gray Linus blanket are much more interesting options.

[Lamb18]

Refrigerator contents on the small table: 3 jars olives (1 full, 2 half-full), 1 half-full jar pickles, - well STARS just came on so I can't finish the inventory.  OK, one purple can of something, mustard, water bottle (maybe Dasani), half-empty Coke bottle, full jar of salsa, more jars of olives, 2 jars of mayonnaise, more pickles, half-bottle of diet Coke. The celery didn't look bad, I don't know why David threw it out. Cody is offering to help, but David said he'll do it - he's bored.

They are trying to figure out what today is. Cody said next Friday is the 25th, so today is . . . then he starts counting backwards, Thursday is the 24th, and David just says, the 18th. Cody said, I can't do that. I think there's also some salad dressing bottles. There's also a food storage container - looks like pasta in there - and a bowl with tin foil on top.

[grandmabegum]

@Lamb18 I'm not lying when I say that the fridge rundown was spectacular. Please do this every time David cleans.

Last night, I turned off the feeds after about 30 minutes. There was no strategy talk, no interesting conversation, just a bunch of self-important assholes laughing and chasing each other around the house.

Has Julie always been so born-again or is this a recent thing? Here’s an excerpt from an interview where she was asked about what it’s like to break sad news to a contestant (in this case, the death of Cody’s grandfather): 

JULIE CHEN MOONVES: It keeps things real for us. Sure, we love coming up with fun, goofy costumes and competitions that are sometimes silly in a good way, but at the end of the day… getting news from the outside world is sobering. It reminds me we are all brothers and sisters, and there are many basic things we all have gone through or will go through in life so why can't we be there for each other more and leave judgement to the Judge… and by Judge, I mean God.

I think their "# 1's" are their #1's outside of the Committee.  Sort of like the brigade they all decided to team up with 1 person not in the alliance to keep them safe from the outside as well. Now Nicole doesn't have that.

I think the most hope we have for this week is for Memphis to become the ultimate grumpy grandpa, not discuss what he's doing at all with his alliance, and irritate the crap out of them all week.

I look forward to the Comittee battling it out over who each side wants to leave, David or Kevin/Day. Dani will pitch a Nicole fit that she can't lose her "#1" 

[Tuxcat]

Memphis acting like an actual state sponsored hit man right now...his plan...no one can ask...he wants it done...

Also David figured out the rationale behind pinning the flip on him. He told Kevin. Now Kevin and Davonne furious at him because they don't believe him and he's a liar. I didn't realize Day called him an Uncle Tom last night. ETA - maybe thats wrong -- Uncle Tom reference is on Twitter. Trying to find out what happened last night now between David and Davonne:

From BBDaily

"Kevin- Here is the reason why I can sense he (David) is lying...every time I try to get to something, he dodges it. He is like "you dont understand I have to deal with the narrative that I'm an Uncle Tom". Da'Vonne- Because you are #BB22"
