Callaphera July 13, 2017 Share July 13, 2017 (edited) I saw some people doing an injury rundown on another site and had to stop to think about it myself. So far this season we have: Raven: dying. And something about stitches. Christmas: broken foot Mark: dislocated finger Kevin: broken tooth Cody: rash (caused by the frog costume?) Dominique: lower body injury* Did I miss anyone? Because wow. I hope Big Brother is getting a discount package for all these doctor visits. Is there a card they're collecting stamps on? Do they get a free coffee on the 10th appointment? *It was mentioned last night by Raven and I think it's just a pulled/sore muscle. But it was funnier to me to put it like they do when a hockey player is hurt but they don't want to admit where so that when he comes back, the other teams don't focus their hits there.

Just quickly looked back the last several seasons- Most people seemed to be smaller & thinner in statue: Nicole, James, Elissa, Danielle Murphee, Dani Donato. The tallest person that won was Cody- but that was during Part 1 of HOH & so his competition was Derrick & Victoria- we all knew it was Cody's unless he slipped or something. So yeah smaller people for sure, Alex, Ramses, Jessica. Paul was 3rd last season. If he was playing could hold on. I think Christmas would of rocked this one, such a shame. Mark, Josh, Kevin will drop fast I think. Elena- who the hell knows- I'm going to say probably not- but you never know. Jason's a wild card. Dunno about Dom or Matt. Link to comment
Lady Calypso July 13, 2017 Share July 13, 2017 Well then, that means Christmas and Raven won't be participating. I think it'll be between Jessica, Alex, and Ramses. Mark/Matt won't be able to hold on, and I'm not sure about Elena/Dominique when it comes to physical endurance. I also don't know about Kevin and Josh. Josh might try to, but I don't think he'll last very long. Jason is a wild card, but I don't think he'll be holding on long either. I'm rooting for Ramses, fine with Jessica, and hoping for Alex. However, I worry that any of them will be swayed by Paul. Either way, if one of those three win, I expect Mark/Dom noms, or Mark/Elena. Matt/Raven, unfortunately for us, won't be touched as long as King Paul is in control. 1 Link to comment

I truly also want her to be able to heal properly and not have to worry about game stuff. Plus, Cody vs Paul will continue, although I assume they'd just "reset" the week, which means Cody can't play for HOH anyway and Paul could easily win again.

But Matt is not really masterminding anything in my opinion. He has hitched himself to Raven and claims he doesn't care about winning. He sucked so bad in the starfish competition that Alex told him last night that she thought he was trying to throw it to her for some reason. I'm pretty sure that him sucking was not on purpose. He seems to want Raven to win and thus far has indicated he's willing to put her game ahead of his own. That irritates me. I would never go on any type of competitive reality show unless my goal was to win the game. The only thing that would make me respect him is if it turns out that he's just playing Raven and pulls off a move that gets her out of the house, regardless of whether it's overt or sneaky in nature. Only time will tell what his true intentions are. 2 Link to comment
