Brian Cronin September 5, 2017 Share September 5, 2017 3 hours ago, Growsonwalls said: The other mystery is why they're so attached to Paul. I mean with Maggie you sort of saw her appeal -- she was a calm, collected presence in an alliance of very unstable people. But Paul is not nice to his "team," he sure as hell isn't there for them emotionally when they're struggling. I've never seen such an unequal input/output equation. He's a sole vet. Vets in general get followed like lemmings by the new HGs, so when there is only a single returning vet, they have it REALLY easy with the HGs. 5 Link to comment
backformore September 5, 2017 Share September 5, 2017 2 hours ago, Gemma Violet said: Speaking of AFP, I think they should do it differently this year. Instead of Julie announcing the top 3 and then announcing AFP, she should specifically name who came in second and third, really stretch it out, and BB should give each of them a prize, like, "The third most popular house guest this year and the winner of a $1,000 cash prize is.........Keviiiiiiiin. The second most poplar house guest and the winner of a $5,000 cash prize is..........Maaaaaaark, and now to the biggie, America's Favorite Player and the winner of $25,000: Codyyyyyyyyyyy." And please, please let there be a close-up of Paul, Alex, and Raven as each name is called. How about this: "As the final twist in this season's Big Brother, the cash prizes for the winners of BB and the winners of AFP have been switched! SO Paul, as the winner of BB, you get $25,000, and the winner of America's Favorite - CODY - YOU win the $500,000!" 10 Link to comment

Popular Post backformore September 5, 2017 Popular Post Share September 5, 2017 (edited) I decided that I'm going to be like Raven, and talk about my various serious, life-threatening illnesses and conditions in the most extreme terms: I had a herniated disc in my neck . I WAS ALMOST A QUADRAPALEGIC! I had surgery, so I now have a metal plate fusing my vertebrae together - It's the only thing that holds my neck together! My head would fall OFF without it! It keeps my head on, so I call it my second neck - I have two necks! I also have vitreous detachment in BOTH EYES! I'm PRACTICALY BLIND, Y'all! sometimes all I see are light flashes, and I know my eyeballs are about to detach so I have to lie on my back for, like 9 hours so they re-attach! Sometimes my lungs don't work right, and I totally stop breathing! Once didn't breathe for two minutes! If I don't use my asthma inhaler within 30 seconds I SUFFOCATE! For real! One time I went to the doctor and he cut CANCER off my arm! he just cut it OFF! I survived CANCER, Y'all! I almost DIED! Dammit, I'm in bad shape! maybe I need a go fund me account, Edited September 5, 2017 by backformore 26 Link to comment

I think the casuals have a lot of power when it comes to voting for AFP. That would be great!

I doubt that. People tend to forget very fast and the fans who will actually be there will be star struck and I bet they will show love to every one of them, even Raven who now claim to hate. I bet that Paul will get much love from fans especially if he wins. People forget and it's easier to write angry tweets rathen than be angry to the person you have in front of you.

Lady Calypso September 5, 2017 Share September 5, 2017 Honestly I feel like part of the reason they got a party was because they have so little to show this week on the episodes so they hoped that throwing in a party would give them something. I stumbled across the Raven auditioning for So You Think You Can Dance tweet and I'm laughing because I forgot that there was this girl when I was in high school who thought she was this awesome singer. In reality, she was pretty crap; even my tone deaf ears could tell that she had no tone or depth or anything special about her singing, but she truly thought she was this new sensation. She'd brag about being able to sing and she got this audition for Canadian Idol. Needless to say, she didn't get very far but she was bragging in class about how she was so close to making it. It just makes me laugh because I totally forgot about this girl until now. Paul got bothered by Raven screeching in his ear last night during the party. I guess she was trying to ham it up for the party/cameras, but Paul was not in a good mood and his ear started hurting. Meanwhile, a whole bunch of us are cackling in delight. This is exactly what I saw happening when they decided that Matt was some secret comp beast that needed to go over Raven. I truly think they'd gladly sacrifice her if Alex wins DE HOH. Paul wants Thursday's HOH, especially if it's DE. He wants Josh to get the next and that leaves Paul good to win 4. Meanwhile, I'm not happy about that because Josh needs to get Paul out for Final 4, damnit! I hope Kevin wins DE HOH, because it's sometimes the most surprising winner for DE HOH, and then Paul wins 5, leaving Christmas to win 4. That would be ideal for me. 3 Link to comment

Jason & his rape jokes have made TMZ twice. We still have several days to go, so there's no telling what else that dumbass will say (I know Alex technically said the 2nd one). However, I truly doubt that anyone associated with the show want AFP to be someone who has been in the media more than once for rape jokes, so I'm saying that production would step in & not let that happen no matter what. I'd be fine with Cody winning, because that would immediately tell all of the other houseguests what they can expect when they get out of the house, & we can see their faces the moment they realize how much we hate them, but I'm pulling for Mark.

Yes, she'd get $500K, but she and her family are probably going to blow through that within a year.

Even Jason has cut him off to a great extent. kevin, much to Paul's dismay, talked to Cody, Elena and mark during the shunning.

Mark got a little lucky in his last week where people still hung out with him to talk personal, even if it wasn't game, although Mark still got isolated quite a bit, even when Elena and Cody were in the house. No matter who it is, nobody should be isolated like that in a house where you don't have anyone else. It reminds me of previous seasons where that happened frequently. I remember BB16 when Donny, Zach, and Nicole, in particular, were isolated and treated badly during their last weeks. This season has had that happen to multiple people, all because Paul wanted blindsides left and right. Jess/Cody chose to isolate themselves, but even Cody came out to socialize when he was alone and people actually talked to him in between the major fights. Mark accepted his fate in his last week and got to hang out with people. Kevin has zero allies and nobody is choosing to talk to him. If he makes it past DE, which he probably will because Paul seems to want Alex and Raven gone more than Kevin, he'll be stuck alone once more for another few days until the Monday eviction. And if he makes it to F4, he'll continue to be alone until the final eviction. I may not like Kevin and I think he's done some shady things that kind of warrant people being sketched out by him, but I hate to see someone have nobody else in the house who talks to him. I can imagine how much it sucks and Kevin's felt it for at least a couple of weeks now, but moreso this week. If this was happening to Raven, even I'd feel bad. If it was happening to Paul...heh, that would never happen to Paul, so never mind. If it happened to Alex, I'd feel less sympathy, but still some. In positive personal news, my dad's flying my mom home on Friday so hopefully, if flights aren't cancelled, she'll be in Canada when Hurricane Irma hits. I'd rather be safe than sorry, so this week is going to stay positive. 9 Link to comment

Christmas is one of the most fascinating psychological studies that this show has ever had. Alex is clearly just a terrible person, but Christmas presents herself so well so much of the time that it is fascinating to see her reach some shocking levels of poor taste with her behavior. Christmas actually reminds me of a lot of abusive personalities -- they can be charming and sweet 90% of the time and then become a totally abusive asshole. The problem with people like Christmas is that many outsiders who haven't seen the "other side" will not entertain the idea that such a nice charming person can also be abusive and vile. I have seen this many times in relationships, where the abuser is the socially outgoing, charming one. 15 Link to comment
Skycatcher September 5, 2017 Share September 5, 2017 (edited) The fact that Kevin has willingly isolated himself just because master Paul said so has completely destroyed any respect I had for him . "Just stay in your bedroom and read The Bible !" And he did . He is just so pathetic I can't stand it . BTW - I am privately messaging people who respond to the hurricane information. I live in South Sarasota county on the Gulf coast. I'm not worried............yet, but we have plans in place in case it does come this way . Edited September 5, 2017 by Skycatcher 5 Link to comment
