Season 19 Live Feed Discussion

Either that, or have Chenbot announce that both Cody and Jessica have been selected to be on The Amazing Race.

And Mark is the only houseguest invited to The Bold and the Beautiful. 

Oh! Another highlight for me this season is Cody/Jessica making out in the bathroom while Josh is yelling at them. His stunned face when he saw what was happening and how they were completely ignoring him was priceless. 

[gunderda]

Sounds like Jason and Paul caught Kevin going through drawers that weren't his.  

[Wings]

It does make sense that James is returning to host the only comp he won, never mind it was handed to him. 

[Lamb18]

I think Paul doesn't like Cody because Cody is "cooler" than Paul, like the cool big brother or the cool senior in high school. Paul wants to be the "cool" one that everyone looks up to and Cody was his competition.  Or rather, Paul wanted the cool kid Cody to suck up to him for a friendship bracelet and the cool kid didn't.  It's hard to explain but sometimes on the feeds I'd see Paul look at Cody like "I want to be like you" or "I wish we were friends." Maybe I'm just imagining that.

Regarding Raven, I've felt sorry for her sometimes. I think her worst enemy is her mother. I bet this is the longest period of time Raven has been away from her mother's control (FREEDOM!) and I bet her mother will be angry that Raven has eaten lots of food, put on weight, had a relationship, etc., and in general showing to the world that she can have a normal life w/her disease. I don't think Raven cares for Matt much more than he cares for her. The relationship gives Raven an opportunity for role-playing w/Matt as a supporting actor: the tragic dying heroine with a doomed love, the sassy girl with witty banter, the passionate misunderstood heroine demanding a commitment she probably won't get, etc.

I forgot music in my HOH basket. Probably a greatest rock hits from the 70s which I would play really loud - bringing me back to my high school and college days.

This will forever be one of the highlights for this season, followed by him eating Alex's cereal calmly while everyone's screaming at him and getting more and more pissed off when he's not giving them the fight that they're craving. I don't think Cody ever expected to be popular with the audience, yet this is exactly what has happened. I've been wanting a no fucks given houseguest who nominates big targets and isn't afraid to make those big moves since I started watching the show, even if it means their demise. So, thanks Cody for bringing my dream to reality! 

I don't think he will ever return for a second season, so at least I can take what I was given. Now, Cody for AFP, at least for the reactions of every houseguest currently in the house. 

Mine too. It just made me laugh. Watched the "hold that thought" several times. One of the few times Paul was speechless.  As for giving no fucks.. Isn't it Paul who "never cared" but actually cares a whole lot ??

That would be great . Right on the stage as they are all gathered around the winner. Boom, drop mic.

Also, love me some Mark and his big ole sleepy face ( he was just woken up for HOH lockdown).

Because it cain't be appreciated enough....

The look on Paul's face?  PRICELESS!!

[Callaphera]

Ha! The video was masterfully done. We never got "Hold that thought" on the show, did we? 

[Vixenstud]

God forbid, birthday girl....that would mean Paul was rightfully put in his place, and we cain't have that.

[Callaphera]

That's true. But also sad because that was probably Cody's best moment in the house. 

[Katesus7]

Happy Birthday @Callaphera!  I'd wish you a great show tonight....but......well.....  Hopefully the endurance is something where they all get pummeled by something.  That's all I'm going for at this point, is for them to get pummeled. 

[Callaphera]

Normally I waffle on live eviction day, especially if we're promised an HoH endurance. Do I bail early on my usual Thursday obligation so I can watch it live on the feeds or do I just wait to get caught up once I'm done and have seen the west coast broadcast?

Totally not bailing early anymore. Watch, it'll be the chicken wire comp or something. Or the swinging chairs, like the fair ride. I mean, at least they get slammed into something for that but even watching Raven take a giant hand or whatever to the face over and over again isn't enough to really get me excited. 

[LGGirl]

If it's the chicken wire comp, we can look forward to eggs falling on Raven's face Raven's fingers getting entwined in the wire where production will have to cut her out with wire cutters.

TBH, if it is the chicken wire comp, you'd think Raven would do well.... You would think. 

I would like to see Kevin win but we know that won't happen.  

[MrHufflepuff]

I wouldn't really consider chicken wire an endurance comp, though.  YMMV.

[Callaphera]

It's not technically endurance in the way that the wall comp or the Teacups are. But it is considered endurance because it spills over to the feeds and it takes awhile. It's in that weird gray area. And whenever we do get it on the feeds, the announcement is always "Stay tuned for tonight's boring ass endurance competition live on the feeds after tonight's shitty broadcast." Except, you know, with less commentary about how much this season sucks and more professional language.

Raven has proven, once again, what a complete moron she really, truly is! She makes up crap about Gastroparesis, incorrectly asserts(I just hate the word 'lie' LOL) that an iPhone on her stomach can turn her stimulator off, avoids the Solar Eclipse, doesn't follow the GP diet and then...the crazy bitch participates in the one damn activity she actually SHOULDN'T take part in at all!

I honest to goodness am gobsmacked that she would do the slip 'n slide when I'd known all along that when the time came, she legitimately would have to sit it out. In addition, CBS should have never allowed it either. You absolutely CANNOT participate in any activity where you would sustain ANY force near the stimulator or surrounding area! To fall down full force on her abdomen was absolutely dangerous and she could have damaged the device and required immediate surgery! She may still have damaged it and won't know until she develops emergent complications. What a f'd up move across the board! 

CBS should have known better and now I'm questioning her medical evaluation. Dr. Abell would have noted on the form detailed information as to what Cravin'Attention could and could not do. Did she not see him for the release and just visited a regular GP who wasn't familiar with the device and just signed off on it or what? If so, isn't that rich? Cravin' supposedly wants to be on the show to pay her medical bills and raise awareness for Gastroparesis yet gets someone other than her GI doc to approve her stint in the house without restrictions? You can't make me believe Dr. Abell wouldn't have fully and completely documented all restrictions and allowances and so I'm of the mindset that he isn't the one she visited. 

If she saw a CBS approved doctor, what a failure that was on THEIR part because as sure as the sun rises and sets, Cravin' and Mama Bear would sue them for all their worth if she gets injured! 

I am *almost* speechless by it but not 100%. I have, however, gotten 100% riled up by more of Cravin's antics when I promised myself I would just avoid and ignore. Ugh!!!

First and most important, happy birthday to @Callaphera. I'd offer to send you some poutine from a local restaurant, but I doubt it travels well. (Also if I go anywhere near poutine, I eat it, and since we just gorged on it for my mother's bday that would be twice in one week. Pretty sure my arteries would not thank me.) So, um, birthday wishes and hopes that someone else comes through with the poutine for you.

Second, I'd guess that @Nashville was right on the bleeped word in Alex's zing being cocksucker. Anything with cock in it has to be bleeped. (It's also one of George Carlin's famous 7 dirty words you can't say on TV.)

I had a weird moment when I saw that Raven said something about how cleaning her ears with a Q tip makes her cough and it's very rare. That happens to me. No idea if it's true for Raven or not, but it is A Thing. Not an illness, though. It has to do with the Q tip stimulating a certain nerve. Something like 2% of the population has that effect in one ear and .6% in both. (You just clean carefully and loudly sing "ahhhh" as you do it to help fight off the effects. I'm probably a treat to watch as I groom.)

First, thank you! Especially now that I have a craving for poutine, damn it. 

Also, for you, a really gross video (I'm weirded out by the way she uses the same side of the Q-tip in both ears because that's a squick for me):

So, Raven believes that she's in that 0.6% of the population. But I agree with the commentary on the tweet (and because I've seen it happen so. many. times. on the feeds) that she's fake coughing because isn't it an adorable quirk that Poor Sick Raven has on top of all her other maladies? Seriously, I've done better fake coughing when calling in "sick" to work because I wanted to watch a big hockey game live.

Christmas isn't on drugs.   She's just a legend and basdass in her own mind.  Such a disappointment.   I miss female players like Janell and (can't believe I'm writing this) Rachel.  

I keep hoping that the DR would put some bug about Paul in the houseguests' ears.  May they have and they are just dense.  

The DR room?  How about dumb dumb Mark.  Heck he's a pretty sure thing to be leaving tonight so why doesn't he 'rally' the troops and tell them "Each couple is NOT going to final two with Paul".  I still have hopes he might do something like that.  NO I do not want to hear it in his fairwell speech at evictions tonight.

I want him to sit them all around the kitchen table and tell them "Two of you won't make it.  You each think you are the favorite one but Paul has been fooling all of you!  Which two will he take?  Ask Paul because you all can't go.  Pick me and I'll be your number three and will make your two some more powerful than the other couples."

In my heart I have been hoping he was saving this for today so he would not have to live with the hate for a whole week. 

Please somebody in Season 19...make a move!

I've lost hope for the last two weeks that these houseguests will catch on to Paul's antics. They all truly believe that he knows all and that his boot order is their boot order. Or they think that Paul will get them to the end and then they can take him out at F3...or worse, that they can actually beat him in F2. 

It's like Paul was handed a list of houseguests and their IQs, and used that as his elimination order. 

He'll pick Josh to be F2, after very carefully having Josh go after and bully several others.  When jury members are choosing between paul (he tried to save me! he gave me a bracelet!)  and Josh (called me a meatball, banged pots in my face, called me names)  Paul will win.  

It's his strategy, and I think it was carefully planned since day 1. 

[Callaphera]

Wait, Raven and Matt have been throwing all their used condoms into the bottom drawer of one of the dressers/bed tables near them? And never emptied it out? (I'm still catching up from yesterday.)

What the fuck is wrong with these people? Have they never heard of a trashcan? Hey, don't want anyone to know that you're safely doing the nasty? Wrap it in toilet paper first. Bury it under the other trash. Throw it over the wall in the backyard, whatever. But for the love of God, get rid of it. Don't keep them as creepy little trophies like you're going to put them into a scrapbook or something. "Oh, honey. Look, it's the first condom we ever used together! How romantic!"

Every season there comes a moment when I realize what I just saw and wrote and think "Why? Did I do something wrong in a previous life? Why do I do this to myself?" It always passes quickly but I think the Drawer O'Condoms was that moment for this season. 

Also, why can't I just fully quit this show? Even when I want to?

The thing that affects me more than the fake cough is the look(s) up to make sure whomever is with her is paying attention to the fact that she is coughing.... Girl is seriously SO transparent.

I dunno. I mean, if I didn't know about the condom thing (hork), so long as I didn't have to see them use the Q-Tip or listen to the fake coughing, it wouldn't be too bad. My first roommate was a militant vegetarian that used to act like I was slaughtering a live pig in the middle of my kitchen anytime I wanted some bacon. And once I learned that, I wanted bacon all the time. Heh.

So, I don't remember if the jury is able to say anything to the final 2 or question them like they do on Survivor (I've watched this show every season from the beginning - why can't I remember if they do this on BB????) 

The way they do it now is the jury (supposedly) decides on a few questions amongst themselves beforehand and then like 3 or 4 of them read those questions to the F2. It's so lame. And I'm fairly sure the questions are just written by Production.

Are those coughs or sneezes? My Q tip usage often triggers a horrible-tickle-OMG-have-to-cough brief coughing fit (during which I remove said Q tip from my ear for safety reasons). Then more Q tip and a few more fits to get the job done. (The singing thing helps a lot, actually. Much less tickle in throat, fewer coughing fits.) She appears to be snee-coughing practically rhythmically.

I suppose it could affect her that way, but it could just be something she read about and decided to fake.

Either way, only use the Q tip once (ick), and definitely throw your own stuff (Q tips or used condoms) away. Gag.

I mean, at one point in college I shared a house with four other people (and various regular guests). I'm pretty easygoing when it comes to sharing living quarters. But bodily secretions of any type on something get disposed of immediately by that person. Not negotiable. It's a good way to see simplyme morph into simplyscarybitch in the blink of an eye.

Hey, don't want anyone to know that you're safely doing the nasty? 

That ship sailed long, long ago...  According to what I've read here, they've been doing the nasty while other people are in the room--once they even carried on a conversation with another hamster while engaging in an under the covers handjob.  Ew.

 

And I forgot to post this earlier, and now I've lost track of who made the comment, but someone quoted Paul saying something like "When I did that comp last year..."  This is why vets mixed with newbies is so very, very unfair and should not be allowed.  This comp is gruelling, has a significant learning curve, and a bit of strategy involved in whether you go for the advantage by filling the small tank, or keep steadily working on the big tank.  Paul played this game before.  He had a HUGE advantage.  He might even have had a bit of residual muscle memory.  Sure, Jason won, but he caught the hang of it pretty quickly.  

Paul has played most of these games before--or variations thereof.   Even without that, we all know the hamsters obsessively deconstruct and analyze and "Monday morning quarterback" all the comps, so he's done a lot more discussing and thinking about the usual comps than even a superfan could do.  He knows he needs to memorize random crap like "how many red apples are in the basket?"  Or "how many safety deposit boxes are in the HoH room?" Superfans know that too, but BB recruits or casual viewers don't really know that.  This is why Paul--or any vet--should have been the #1 target from the beginning.  Cody knew that, he knew Paul had a tactical advantage from the get-go and it was his goal to eliminate that advantage.  Too bad there was that Amulet of Ass Protection--also completely unfair to have an "America's Vote" with one familiar and popular guy against a bunch of total unknowns.

Gah.  Just give the $500K to Paul already.  He doesn't deserve to win, but everyone left in the game (supposing Mark is gone tonight) deserves to lose.

[Gemma Violet]

I can't make myself watch the Q-tip video.  I have a sensitive stomach.

I never use Q-tips in my ears.  According to my ENT doctor, all it does is push the wax further down the ear canal.

So, I was out for the last six hours and no joke, I forgot the live show was on tonight. So when I was leaving my grandparents' house, I wondered why we couldn't stay longer. Halfway home, I was thinking about my plans for the night...and then remembered it would be watching the live show and I'd get back with about 20 minutes to spare.

I most certainly prioritized hanging with my grandparents' cats over watching tonight's show. That's how done I am with this season, it seems. 

Well, at least I'll get to switch my avatar back to a kitten soon enough.

So much suspense tonight! Who will be evicted!? Aren't we all on tender hooks waiting to find out!?

I know. I don't even know why I'm deciding to watch. Probably only because it'll be Mark's last time in the house. At least after tonight, I can choose not to watch any of the episodes so I won't feel obligated to watch the live shows either! Well, I might watch Alex or Jason's eviction episode. Those could be fun....maybe.

Wow, the first pre-eviction questions for the houseguests this season. Whoopee. Julie asking the important questions. Such as Matt's different shirt...lol, joking. He's still wearing the same shirt.

They literally don't have enough material to fill up the hour. 

[Sandycat]

Plenty of material to show. They could put in Paul yelling at Mark from yesterday, showing his true colors. They could show Josh calling Mark a bully. They could show the hours of Cody bashing. ?

Loved how Julie didn't ask Raven anything!
