Ceeg July 4, 2017 Share July 4, 2017 I don't like Paul but I'd probably have to talk to Jason like he's a small child if I was in there too. He's one of the most intellectually challenged HGs I've seen in a while. God love Christmas for dealing with him in a non-condescending way. 2 Link to comment

peachmangosteen July 4, 2017 Share July 4, 2017 (edited) I wouldn't be able to deal with a lot of these people's game talk style tbh. Jason, Paul, and Christmas would drive me nuts. ETA: This reminded me about a game talk that Raven/Matt/Mark were having earlier. Raven was giving me so much second-hand embarrassment. Mark and Matt were looking at her like she was a child and I couldn't blame them! Edited July 4, 2017 by peachmangosteen 1 Link to comment
Callaphera July 4, 2017 Share July 4, 2017 (edited) We all cracked on Clay a couple seasons ago when Jason was telling him the story of two former international Big Brother players dying in a car accident on a freeway and Clay legit thinking that they were in the Big Brother house when it happened (like what, Clay? The fucking freeway runs down the center of the house?). But he may have been onto something, just a few seasons too early. We may be seeing our first ever in house death this season. And if Raven can beat the odds and actually live to finale night, I fully expect her to be in a wheelchair and hooked up to an IV with a nurse hovering over her shoulder.

Callaphera July 4, 2017 Share July 4, 2017 (edited) I miss official alliances that we could follow on a chart and had names. Sure, trying to keep Dark Moon members separate from Sixth Sense and ADC and Brass Tacks sometimes sucked. But at least we could follow it all then. RIP, alliance names.

I know I shouldn't and I'm definitely going to keep repeating in my head that Kevin wants to save Christmas. Maybe it'll get stuck in my head! You know, Christmas may be overplaying right now, but I like her confidence. It could be mistaken as cocky, and maybe it is somewhat cocky. But I like that a woman is not afraid to determine her own self worth and let everyone know how proud she is about it. As long as she's not being a mean girl about it or harming others, then why the hell not show off more confidence? Though I'm reading up right now that she's kind of slut shaming, which is definitely not cool. I'm gonna need her to tone it down several notches. 1 minute ago, Callaphera said: I miss official alliances that we could follow on a chart and had names.

Alex and Christmas were doing it earlier, talking about how little makeup they wear compared to the "younger girls". Why must everyone this season be problematic?

Is it time to breathe into a paper bag for a bit? I like Christmas and I agree she is too intense and needs to back it down. She is selling too much, too hard and too fast. Calmly state what you see and give your words time to land. Kevin will vote Jillian out, there is no question. He listens to Paul and I have yet to see him talk to Cody at all. I like having no alliance names. Everyone is a free agent and does not feel locked in to a group and psychologically they are freer to assume voting blocks that can shift from week to week. 2 Link to comment

Katesus7 July 4, 2017 Share July 4, 2017 I think my favorite twosome is Mark/Dominique. They have mutual respect, there's no bullshit "showmance" going on, I truly think they are being fullly honest with each other, and now that Mark has stopped banging that damn chess piece against the table, and I can actually hear them, I really like them. My second favorite twosome is Jason/Kevin. Jason is so out of his league, but he can clearly relax with Kevin, and loves him. And I think Kevin feels he can be as "funny" as he wants and Jason will laugh at everything he says, which he does. I enjoyed the hell out of those two walking around the yard earlier today. 4 Link to comment
Lady Calypso July 4, 2017 Share July 4, 2017 So, I hear that Jessica is throwing a temper tantrum about Elena. Eh. I've had enough of her, Cody, Elena, Mark, and Paul constantly on the feeds, so I'm keeping them off for the night. Maybe tomorrow, they'd like to focus on someone else? Anyone else? I know they're not as drama-filled as the five I've listed, but it would be nice to get to know the others one-on-one instead of constant Jody, Marlena, and Paul snaking his way into conversations. 2 Link to comment

Lady Calypso July 4, 2017 Share July 4, 2017 I love Mark/Dom conversations. I didn't have them on tonight, but I always love listening to Dom talk some sense into that boy. It's nice to see a platonic female/male friendship without signs of a power imbalance and signs that they care. Christmas/Mark are finally having their conversation and I have reluctantly turned on the feeds to listen for a bit. ETA: So my feeds are taking forever to load, but I just read that Mark has seemed to officially switched to Christmas' side to evict Jillian instead. It sounds like Dom, for the moment, got him to make up his damn mind as he tells Christmas that he's voting to keep her. Meanwhile, Jessica is going all Single White Female, or showing signs of it, and I don't think Cody will want to stick with her for long. It's week one and Jessica's already bitching about floaters and burning her bridges with people. 2 Link to comment

I'm not a huge fan of Dominique on her own. I just really like her friendship with Mark. I mean, she just got him to go apologize to Christmas, for crying out loud. Not even Elena managed to do that! Ok, Christmas may be annoying me a bit with her talking over Mark. Let the guy speak!! I know you have a billion things on your mind to say to him, just let him get it all out! I know Mark's kind of being dumb with Cody, but he's telling Christmas that he's emotional and he can't talk to people like the way he is now when he is emotional, and he can't do this in front of others. Meanwhile, I'm totally understanding this because I'm the same way. I'm not really that emotional, but when I am, I'm no good at confrontation. But seriously, Christmas, chill out. Please, pretty please. ETA2: I just need Mark to be completely honest here. I'd like to think that he won't flip again and that he'll just play Cody until the week's over and Christmas ends up staying (as long as her MRI results work out). Because she is right; she won't be winning the next HOH, she's at a huge disadvantage. and anything can change. I really, really like Mark and want to continue liking Mark, but the more he sticks to Jessica/Cody, the harder it is. I do think he means what he says now, but what happens when he talks to Jessica/Cody next? Will he be swayed? Will Dom need to keep an eye on him for the rest of the week? Mark did say that she was absolutely staying, so it sounds like he's all in for keeping her, and it doesn't sound like he's bullshitting her. 3 Link to comment
Wings July 4, 2017 Share July 4, 2017 (edited) Well that is good. I really like Mark and disappointed he is hooked on Cody. That will probably change next week anyway. He is a genuine solid guy. He and Paul had and unplanned comedy exchange going on the other day that was endearing and was sprinkled through the day. They would spontaneously pick it up at random times.

He reminds me A LOT of BB16 Zach, who had a genuinely great heart and really was the best guy on the cast. He had his flaws, no doubt, but he genuinely did more good than bad.

I also tune out her Jesus speak. I definitely think if you can rewind, to do it. Christmas is just about to leave; the conversation didn't quite end when it did so they're still cuddling. I think they've been talking for about half an hour. A lot of repetition, but once you get past them talking in circles, you can really see how badly Mark feels and how Christmas doesn't hold a grudge with him anymore. The tension between them is completely gone, which is so nice. Kevin has his moments of saying something that I disagree with, but he is truly such a dad and needed for these houseguests.

Callaphera July 4, 2017 Share July 4, 2017 As I was checking in for the last time tonight, I realized that tomorrow is the 4th of July for everyone in the States, which means the traditional Big Brother feed outage during the backyard 4th of July party where they get barbecue and booze. And I got all excited because we'll finally get some drunk HGs. But I bet Cody doesn't drink because liquid and robots don't mix. And Mark probably doesn't drink because he's Mr. Body Builder. And Raven doesn't drink because she's dying. Fuck. All we're going to get is Elena sloppy drunk in a corner and giggling out "dick" every now and then. 7 Link to comment
