Season 24 Live Feeds Discussion

[dizzyd]

So is F2 going to be based on a stupid pair of headphones?

🏈 just ended at 8 here, so looks like 9p for tonight’s episode.

Another thing production could do is tape several sets of Friday's episode with different threesomes from the four contestants left. As said above the lines for the contestants are scripted, and since the episode is mostly flashbacks, there's not that much for any of them to say.

Monte and Taylor?? I think that will end when the season is over.

I hope so, 60 minutes is still on here and it’s nearly 9… I’m worried that the network will just join BB already in progress.

There is no such thing as a calm week with Taylor around!!

Well that was a short-lived sexmance.

Taylor and Brittany going over jury votes. Taylor looks a bit bummed. I guess Monte souring on her already has given her the sads.

That was my first reaction - especially when he went and told Turner everything.  Turner has a stronger chance of winning the Final HOH over Taylor.  And it's a given he will take Monte.

I mean, Monte and Taylor is pretty typical for what happens when the physical attraction is much stronger than any real compatibility. People jump into bed, get all that lust out of their system, and then are like "meh."

It’s a universal truth; hell, Meatloaf’s song about it was one of his biggest hits.  😆

Brittany is making her pitch to Monte now.  Surprisingly, she's making a lot of good points and making them very calmly and with zero condescension in her voice (big shocker to me!), but he still seems to be too stubborn to see it.

I don't think he's being stubborn.  Monte knows that if Turner, who is a strong competitor, wins the Final HOH he will take him.  But if Brittany did, she would take Taylor.

Monte told Turner after he won the veto, that he can't stomach evicting him and that he doesn't want Brittany any where near F2.

I appreciate that she is fighting and not rolling over.  However, I really don't see how it would be good for Monte to keep her over Turner.  Turner has shown no indication he would do anything other than take Monte at the end.

Yeah, it's weird, because there truly ISN'T a good argument to be made for Monte to keep Brit over Turner. She will not take him to Final 2, while Turner will. It's just about the most no-brainer decision possible. And that's not even taking into account that he might not think Taylor will take him to F2 after their little dustup, making it make even LESS sense to give Taylor the option of taking Brit to F2 instead if she were to win the F3 HOH. 

There is no good argument for Brit to make here.

Ode to Big Brother Finale Week

[Brian Cronin]

Brittany trying to explain to Monte why he should evict his closest ally to keep her is like Tootie in Meet Me in St. Louis wanting to bring her snow men with her to New York City when the family has to move there. 

In both cases, it is an absurd idea that shows how poorly each of them are at rational thought. 

This season is good enough for TWO Meet Me in St. Louis references!

I didn't have them when I was a kid, but my 20s and especially my 30s, smartphones were commonplace. I never had anything to worry about because I'm boring, but I can't imagine the number of people who've had shit go down because of them.

Ahh, Polaroids. No negatives, no prying eyes of drugstore clerks.

[LeDucDiableBleu]

Production gave them more shirts to tie-dye, and a go-pro to film them doing it. Only Monte and Turner are participating because Brittany's asleep and I think Taylor is up but didn't want to. The go-pro segments they're filming are like an infomercial lol. Turner is describing how to do it and the instructions. I think the idea was they were supposed to film each other having fun and laughing. But since it's just the two of them it's very instructional and robotic.

[SummerDreams]

[Brian Cronin]

How much of this is just Monte coming up with a reason (trademark Vanessa) to NOT take Taylor at F2 after finally saying he WOULD take her? 

[pennben]

Taylor needs to step away from this Brittany mission and start working on Turner & Monte.  She's onboard a sinking ship right now with Brittany trying to plug holes when the entire hull is out.  I think she's so focused on winning this battle at final 3 she's missing what she needs to do to win the war.  Boating & war analogies, who am I?:)

Edited September 19, 2022 by pennben

[30 Helens]

Quite a bit of tension in the house tonight. Taylor spent a little time grumping around the kitchen, getting annoyed at everything in her path. “Of course. Of course they have a final 2,” she muttered to herself.

Then everyone hung out in the yard for awhile, even Brittany! She was surprisingly relaxed and sociable, a far cry from the intense and badgering Brittany I’ve grown accustomed to. Too bad she didn’t bring out this part of her personality a little sooner. 

There was no game talk, just chitchat about where they’ve lived and what they want to do after the show. Turner got Monte all excited about van life, which I took to mean living in a van with only the bare essentials (and presumably no shower.) Monte wants to do a travel podcast wherein he coaches people to get over their fear of travel. Not sure how much of a market there is for that, but ok.

Not much was said between Monte and Taylor; they mostly just talked past each other. Cordial but cool. Eventually, Taylor left to do laundry and never came back. Then Brittany went to bed, leaving Monte and Turner to start their usual nightly game of pool. Last bros standing.

[Lady Calypso]

Sounds like Monte finally confronted Taylor on her behaviour. Like he told Turner, he told Taylor that she "acts differently" in public vs in private (because, well duh, that's how people can be, they don't act the same around people in groups vs people they are closest to). Sounds like Taylor had to apologize and Monte basically was like "whatever" and then still slept downstairs.

On the one hand, good for someone FINALLY talking to her face to face, even if Monte already bitched to Turner before. On the other hand, despite me not having watched it personally, the updates I'm reading about it make Monte seem condescending toward Taylor. But maybe that's just the frankness of the updates, making it seem worse and not like a mature...ish conversation. Or maybe I'm still salty over Monte's overall behaviour and am pushing it onto this conversation.

Oh, and then I read things like this and go "nah, my instincts are right, this man sucks." I HATE when men talk down to any woman like this, and Monte's done it a lot. He makes it seem like he's doing it to "help" and to be "honest", but he's actually just being a dick.

Also this.

Monte is literal trash. I'm glad most of Twitter and Taylor's own friends and family hate his ass so when she gets out everyone can tell her she's too good for him.

[blixie]

Just here to say Fuck Monte. I know it really didn't matter who was nommed but I still wish Taylor had popped him up there against Turner, maybe it would have messed with him and he'd have lost veto. As we knew Taylor's game like Michael's was always gonna come down to comps. Knowing this show Taylor will win one part and get my hopes up only to lose part 2.

I still can't get over how bad this last week's scheduling is. The poor editors lol. And what, we're only going to have 3 days to vote for AFP? 

[Never Again]

Unpopular opinion, I know, but I’m really over Taylor. I felt so much for her in the beginning, with Daniel and Nicole, and the whole “with the Lays” thing was heartbreaking.  Well, not actually in the beginning bc tbh she WAS a little standoffish to the women and hung with the guys, and that started it.  But then she turned it around.  But honestly she has some kind of attitude and thinks she runs the game when she really doesn’t even seem to understand it.  Her first HOH was abysmal.  And in 24 seasons of watching this show I don’t think I’ve EVER seen anyone swan around in the HOH robe like she does, even in her second time around, it’s all so much posturing with her.  Despite her obvious beauty and her pageant success I feel somehow she is very insecure and unsure of herself.  And hey Taylor here’s a tip: when there are four of you left, and one is your showmance, don’t pull off the headphones by bitching that he’s in YOUR room listening to YOUR music and giving him attitude. It was ok though when you were in HIS room?  You may have cost yourself his vote 

[VanillaBear85]

[Caseysgirl]

Have to agree with people who are not feeling Taylor as much & I’m thinking that THIS is the actual Taylor that initially the girls were complaining about.  I wonder if someone in production told her how she was being perceived and thus we got the tearful waif who was being bullied.  Just a thought.

Did you watch any season Marcellas was on? He was always in robes! Pretty sure he was in Janelle's HOH robe when he didn't even win HOH lol.

Also if you loose a vote over taking headphones off of someone who is sleeping and not listening to music you probably never had his vote to begin with.

Taylor's first HOH wasnt that bad. Daniel and Turner (his second one) where both 10x worse.

As someone who has watched this show live since season 5 everyone becomes annoying at this part of the game. The pressure/isolation from their support systems gets to everyone and people start acting out.

Last week Monte literally put Taylor on the block, but she's a horrible person for taking headphones off of his head?

Sure, she's the problem...

No, she was 100% bullied in the early days. The women (Paloma, mostly) misjudged her based off of not really anything (oh, she went to hang out with the guys for a couple of hours?) and then COMPLETELY wrote her off by hour three in the house. When you're written off by hour three and things are spread in the house by that point, there's not much you can do to change their mind. 

Taylor has had to constantly be on her toes with how she reacts to things since week 1. That's no way to live in a house with people for months on end. You SHOULD be able to let loose and not perfect 100% of the time or else you get berated and bullied and shit on.

Others have done and said far worse than Taylor and they have constantly gotten passes. But Taylor does one rude thing and she get shit on for hours. 

Remember, Kyle said the Cookout stuff, basically saying that he has to target Monte and the other POCs because of the perceived alliance, meaning Kyle never trusted Monte in the game, and Monte's reaction was to cry about it WITH Kyle immediately. 

But Taylor grabs her headphones, makes a rude remark, APOLOGIZES for it, and Monte blames her for her bullying.

For me, that doesn't make any sense. Nobody is perfect, but Taylor HAS to be in order to not be isolated and trash talked and shit on. But every other person gets a free pass or ten or twenty.

I can not wait to see Monte get roasted while Taylor gets nothing but love in the exit interviews lol.

Taylor will receive love in the CBS interviews however many fans of the show can't stand her now and they are criticizing her all over twitter and facebook and YouTube.

Nah, she’ll still get way more love than Monte and boy is that gonna hurt him. I love it! It’s what his misogynistic ass deserves. 

[LeDucDiableBleu]

The thing that makes me feel really bad is that Monte has been bashing Taylor since day 1, and not just casual dislike but saying really horrible things. Then he sleeps with her with her not knowing the bad things he said. That's just really cruel. I understand Taylor wanted sex too but I don't think she would have slept with him knowing he's been personally targeting her like that. She slept with him under false pretenses, imo.

I think Taylor has low self esteem regardless of her pageant experiences and her good looks. I think her smug attitude is fake and an act. I think when Taylor cried at the beginning of the season that was the real Taylor. But as the season went on, she grew more confident and developed a false persona. And I think she became obnoxious and I don't now get all the Taylor love. Is it because she is a black woman or because you admire her snarky personality and character? I think her personality sucks with all the sarcasm. You can be strong and confident and not appear so unappealing. Why is she unappealing? Because of the endless scorn for others. 

I think she is trying too hard to empower herself as a woman and as a black woman. If you have to keep reminding people you will be the first black woman to win, there is something slightly wrong with that. She should win for the way she played not because of her race. She should brag about that AFTER she wins not always sit in the DR and make that her only cache or her only reason to want to win. Let others celebrate you for that. Say it once and be done, stop making a game show a race war. 

[pennben]

My fantasy ending is that Monte wins final HOH & decides the best way to put Taylor further in ‘her place’ is to sit beside him at final 2 so he can show his righteousness when he is named winner & further prove his ‘superiority’ to her, only for her to win & step out of the house without a glance at him. 

My hope is that Taylor wins final HOH & wins, regardless of who she takes. 

My expectation is Turner or Monte win, most likely Monte. Sigh.

She seemed fake as well. She crushed on Joseph and then all of a sudden Monte has legs like "tree trunks?" They BOTH had sex knowing they BOTH talked shit about each other prior to their involvement. It was always only about sex regardless of their history with each other in the house. They are both two adults and took care of their physical needs. That was all it ever was.

But the road from insecure to confident is not a straight line.  You have to relearn everything, so it's messy.  If what's happening with her is growing pains, I'm fine with giving her the space to figure it out.

 I understand Taylor wanted sex 

For sure this woman wanted and needed some touch, but it's very hard to celebrate it for that when you know how much shit he's talked about her that she is unaware of and then how legitimately gross is to her FACE yet and still. ::barf emoji:: And she's apologizing to him, she's getting deep about a playful moment with HEADPHONES. Comp gods please please please let her win F3 HOH and take that bitch ass Turner.

Facebook is full of racist grandmas, Youtube comments are nothing but trolls and the scum of the Earth (you've never heard the warning "never read the comments on Youtube"?) and Twitter has been divided on her since the beginning. Nothing is new there.
