S24.E08: Power of Veto #3

[yanksno1]

Man, I was feeling for Taylor earlier in the season and really felt for her in this episode. So Nicole is crying because she has to "throw" a comp and everybody thinks it's about her Mom. Taylor goes in to be a "friend" and not even talk game. She thought she was crying about her Mom thus the "quit" comment. Then Nicole gets all defensive about that and causes that scene. Elvis boy not even in the room then blows up at Taylor. Just horrible. He's gonna be shocked when he comes out of the house and sees what people really think about them. I've been waiting for that side of the house to form an alliance, so that was great to see. I'm glad Kyle stood up for Taylor there.

This is such a huge problem with shows like this - BB especially (although a certain recent gross season of Survivor also comes to mind) and RHAP has discussed it at length in various podcasts...sitting back and watching/allowing mistreatment of other contestants and saying nothing to avoid becoming the next target and forfeiting your chance at the money.  Watching from home, I'd like to think that I would be all, "hold on, Elvis - cool your jets, take a walk and leave her alone."  But at the same time, you're isolated from everything you know and are relying on getting by with a bunch of strangers to inform your decisions in order to stay in the house.  If only BB held some kind of class for these people to discuss boundaries that cannot be crossed....oh wait, they do.  But no one listens and there are no retributions.  Never mind.

And don’t forget the fear that if they stand up for the outcast, the bullies may turn and make them a target and cost them a chancea5 the big prize.

At first I was excited for some drama, but the look of confusion and sadness on Taylor's face really made me feel bad for her.  She didn't deserve that treatment. That was ridiculous.  Hoping the leftovers make huge change!!

[watch2much]

just watched on my DVR.  that was difficult to see.  my heart broke for Taylor.  she had actually been trying to be magnanimous  saying don't worry about her (Taylor) if Nicole had to tap out.....instead Nicole totally misconstrues it because she's not mourning her sick mother, she's in tears and needs everyone to leave the room because her spirit of competition has to be compromised?  it's not like she's actually WON any competition to date so it's certainly not a given that she'd win even trying her hardest.

I, too, am so disappointed in her.  at first it appeared as though she was able to see through the Taylor narrative, but she's now all in.  just goes to show how insidious it is being around negative people.  Ameerah's wimpy comment was something, at least.  I realize the fear of having the group turn on you for defending her, but I hope some at least sought her out after.

Daniel keeps digging his hole deeper and deeper and it's not a pretty sight.  I hope they go after him and Nicole next.

The problem was that the supposed passive aggressive conversation from Taylor was due to a misunderstanding.  Taylor was actually being caring and concerned about Nicole.  Nicole, over dramatically, comes into the bedroom and kicks everyone out, without explaining why, to cry about something.  The others wander outside and wonder what Nicole's issue is and wonder if it is about her mother with cancer.  Taylor hears this and is actually concerned and has Monte pray for Taylor.  She then makes the mistake of thinking Taylor is her friend and goes to comfort her and, "passive-aggressively" tells Nicole it is OK for her to quit and don't worry how it effects Taylor, her partner due to BB stupid twist.  Taylor was being nice and legitimate.  Nicole, not realizing Taylor thought that Nicole was upset about her mother, misinterprets Taylor telling her it is OK to quit in relation to being her partner for the veto.  Nicole, originally had the idea to be nominated so Taylor could go home and then feels bad about having to throw a comp as she is such a competitor.  She needed to villainize Taylor, to allow herself to come off as the good person she sees herself as.  Even she admitted Taylor had never done anything to her.  And, Daniel pre-decided from day one that Nicole was wonderful based on her hair and lesbianism, so he had to defend poor Nicole, the aggressor, from Taylor.

Daniel is such a loser. What a schmuck or should I say putz. OK once a schmuck... however, since this show has a HISTORY of almost always crowning a winner that I hate, except for a few seasons like BB23, I am terrified Daniel could win. 

I have a history of being angry on finale night.... starting with Jun, then Maggie, Mike Boogie, Evel Dick, Adam, Rachel, Andy, Michie (I despised him).

Am I a bad person for laughing when Jasmine "fainted"?

[tvfanatic13]

I’m a day late but wtf did I just watch?

I was routing for Nicole but that is some straight up bullshit gaslighting of Taylor girl. Nope. Not having it. Now I want Taylor to go all the way. 
And did we really need to see passed out Jasmine with her blank eyes staring. Creeped me out. 
And finally, is Terrance ever going to say one word?

I have just been following feeds, but after watching this I am so disturbed by the behavior of these assholes. Go Taylor...the world is rooting for you. 🥰 poor thing...,,

Just looking at that list is making ME angry now heh. But hopefully we won't need to add another this season!

I don’t watch the feeds but what horrible things has Taylor done to all these people? I cannot see this at all. What did she do to Paloma or Daniel or Nicole? These people are losing me!

On the plus side, Daniel’s already accustomed to working under an assumed name….

[Wandering Snark]

Hah, exactly Nashville... that bitch and her crackers. 😃

Yes you are, but you're not alone. My wife (a nurse) wanted to know why I was laughing at someone fainting, the only answer I had was that it was so fucking dramatic it didn't seem real.
