OldWiseOne August 21, 2022 Share August 21, 2022 Michael and Brittany don't have access to Kyle's past social media and other things outside the house that we see that point to Kyle being a racist. Expecting them to call him out, and compromise their own games, based on his suggestion that the POC in the house have big personalities and are banding together is expecting too much I think. 2 9 Link to comment

None of the men, at this point, would make me happy (though Michael would've until recent weeks). Terrance would certainly be impressive and different, but I can't stand his misogyny. As someone just watching the edited tv version, I also like the females ( minus Jas). I would love for Alyssa to say byeee to Kyle ( who is getting the boy next door edit).

Lamb18 August 22, 2022 Author Share August 22, 2022 Around 60 years ago there were these Merry Melodies cartoons - at the end of each cartoon there was a song and you would follow the bouncing ball as you sang along. Anyhow there was a circus cartoon where there were two trapeze artists and one was holding the other by the lips. The one who was being held up fell but the lips stayed up there with the other trapeze artist. Anyhow that's what @Nashville's comment about Jasmine's eyebrows reminded me of. Of course Kyle conveniently forgets how he wanted Alyssa out before he had his ten seconds. 2 4 1 Link to comment
Lamb18 August 22, 2022 Author Share August 22, 2022 Kyle is so wishy washy. In the grand scheme of things it's not that big of a deal to betray a Big Brother alliance to keep someone else sleep, but I have a feeling Kyle is like this out of the game, too. 3 Link to comment

Thalia August 22, 2022 Share August 22, 2022 (edited) I went back to see when they went to the storage room, and I don't think it is a party for Jasmine. The Brochella Five called it a VIP celebration. (though, I won't be surprised if Jasmine makes it all about her "birthday month.") It is a pretty good deal.

Callaphera August 22, 2022 Share August 22, 2022 About half an hour ago, there was a brief flash of outside - they destroyed the outside couches and cushions to build some sort of sleeping area where Alyssa was tucked into her sleeping bag and Kyle was walking towards her probably for another ten second romantic romp under the stars. 1 1 Link to comment

I know the lack of privacy makes it difficult, but they must have some opportunities, right? Even if it’s pretending to play a game of pool and whispering as they move around the table.

Terrance likes to think of himself as a critical thinker, but he’s highly susceptible. I would think Turner, at least, could come to him, act hurt and betrayed, and get Terrance to divulge at least some of what Kyle said. From there, it wouldn’t be hard to turn it back on Kyle. He could paint a picture of Koalition Kaptain Kyle who is running the whole show, invited Turner to join (and what was he going to say, no?) and has never cared about Terrance, unlike Turner who actively saved him. Kyle has had no relationship with Terrance, but Turner has. He could twist the facts to suit his purpose just like Kyle did, and that prior foundation could be the difference. I wish I knew if he has tried. 7 hours ago, tinkerbell said: Someone needs to tell her you don't get a birthday week or a birthday month. It's called a birthDAY for a reason.

peachmangosteen August 22, 2022 Share August 22, 2022 Yea, I mean, I don't think it's really that hard for Joseph or Turner to talk to Terrance. Kyle did it lol. And if Kyle comes around, so fucking what, it's either him or you. But I just highly doubt Turner has done anything. He's a passive player. He likely feels safe because he knows Joseph was always Terrance's target and he probably at least suspects Kyle wants Joseph out as well. So, he'll just sit back and do nothing like he has done most of the game. Joseph being the chaotic, talkative mess that he is though, I'll be very surprised if he doesn't try something. But I'm afraid he is actually still holding onto loyalty to Kyle and won't really put in work for that reason alone. Link to comment
TheGapper August 22, 2022 Share August 22, 2022 1 hour ago, 30 Helens said: Nah, that wouldn’t stop her. She’d just start calling it birthmonth. I have seen this phenomenon in the US. People often in the south love to celebrate their birthday for a whole week/month and refer to it as such. Thinking back now (20 years ago) when I worked in corporate America (Skechers in Manhattan Beach California) I remember some work friends had “birthday week”, so I guess it’s not only the south. I think that’s typical of a lot of celebrations here, people like to celebrate Xmas or Halloween for weeks. I used to be surprised because in South Africa it’s fairly mellow with any of the holidays. It’s summer during Xmas season so you hang out at the beach and there is little fan faire compared to the US, same with birthdays, not such a not such a big deal. And no one gives presents like they do here. so maybe Jasmine is on par with her world. 1 1 Link to comment
Lamb18 August 22, 2022 Author Share August 22, 2022 There's no reason why Turner and Joseph can't talk to Terrance, even if Kyle and Alyssa are right there. So have a big fight! Just tell Terrance who wanted to keep him on the block and who wanted to save him. Good morning! I open the feeds, expecting to see sleeping house guests in the grayed night vision. Instead, what do I see? Kittens!! Five on my screen right now scrapping with each other or staring upwards or licking their feet. So what is happening at 6:24 am BB time that has to be hidden by kittens? 2 2 Link to comment
choclatechip45 August 22, 2022 Share August 22, 2022 I think Turner is a pretty awful player same with Joseph. The fact they haven't put two and two together from that nomination speech is not good.

They've been down for two and a half hours. No one knows why. My guess is that they had to play loud music for outside again and it could be heard inside the house but that's pure unfounded speculation. My favourite part of this whole backyard saga is that people Twitter were yelling because they didn't want poor, sweet, precious not in love with Taylor Joseph to go home and now they're being denied seeing him at all and they're starting to get angry about it.

diana August 22, 2022 Share August 22, 2022 Are they seriously playing music constantly outside? That would drive me mad how can they live with that? Why can’t they do like white noise or fans or something. This has got to be their floppiest twist yet. To say this took the air out of the week is an understatement. Definitely did not think anything through. It will be a very long few days for everybody. Link to comment
Callaphera August 22, 2022 Share August 22, 2022 There are two different tactics that we've heard over the years when it comes to wall yellers: they either blast music really really loud to cover them and because Big Brother doesn't pay for the rights to the music, it can't be played on the feeds or they play a very loud klaxon with a recorded voice telling people to come inside, immediate indoor lockdown. Since they can't shuffle everyone inside because the house is supposed to remain divided (and I'm assuming the new outside temporary DR is tiny), music seems to be the go-to solution. I don't think it's going 24/7. Brittany heard it yesterday and assumed it was part of the twist (as far as we know, it isn't but who knows, maybe they'll roll it into the twist - God knows I've never camped at a music festival where the music ever stops) but I'm assuming that it's happening on and off whenever the intern monitoring Twitter sniffs out a semi-credible "Hey, let's go wall yell!" tweet. 1 1 Link to comment
30 Helens August 22, 2022 Share August 22, 2022 (edited) Depending on how loud the music is, maybe that’s why nobody can talk/ campaign. I don’t know why they don’t just bring people inside and sequester. They could have designated kitchen /bathroom times or just let the captives outdoor group outside to use the bathroom on occasion. I know I’d rather be locked in the basement than listen to blaring music all day long. (Or even in unanticipated, startling blasts.) There’s a reason that is used as a torture technique. This was so not thought out. It’s not like wall yellers are new. Edited August 22, 2022 by 30 Helens 4 Link to comment

wintrygal August 22, 2022 Share August 22, 2022 I hate this twist, generally I do sometimes wish for them to shake things up when a large alliance is rolling through, but this alliance to me, is different, they are/were actually enjoyable to watch, great acting skills by all of them. The people not in the alliance were so self absorbed and nasty stupid I cheered each time one of them left. Kyles' parents must be so proud of him, especially watching him hop around on the ground on all fours like he was. I have a nephew who does that sometimes, he's 3. Did Alyssa actually think that was cute? 1 9 Link to comment
