Season 20: Live Feed Discussion

[Katesus7]

Ugh, switched briefly to the feed of the HOH room where Fessie is "explaining" to Hayleigh everything that happened in the house to justify Scottie going.  Most of it is wrong, of course.  Switched out of there super-fast; he is my new BEC.

Parchment paper. Never use waxed paper in the oven.

Parchment paper is so versatile and I cringe when I go to a friend's house and they don't have any. HOW DO YOU BAKE COOKIES? (Those silicone non-stick sheets for your pans always feel greasy, like you can never wash off the butter from them.)

Thanks. I meant parchment paper.

Hopefully they have sheet pans instead of flat cookie sheets.  The lip would help contain the oil.

I’ve always baked cookies on the cookie sheet. Isn’t that what’s it used for? My Mom did it that way forever and it’s how i do it now. I’m 53. Maybe, it’s something new that I’m not aware of or Martha Stewart made up.

I personally think that quitting a habit in the Big Brother house isn't the best idea. Yes, she'll have people to keep an eye on her and monitor her as she goes through nicotine withdrawal. However, we've already seen Sam when she doesn't have her cigarettes. Yes, she'll have a patch, but I think the stress of the house and her other various mental health issues will equal a not so great result at this moment for her trying to quit. 

Plus, we've seen the bang up job production's done with Sam so far. I really have no faith here. She'll be self evicting next week, I feel like. It's not even production's job to help Sam quit smoking. This is gonna be a mess this upcoming week. Imagine if she won HOH, as well.

She was vaping until arriving in the house. Production doesn’t allow vapes, probably because of the necessity of charging the battery.

The withdrawal process of cigs is a beast given the person’s coming off of the additives, too. Vaping works as a smoking cessation tool because it mimics the motions of smoking and the user controls the nicotine vs the constant blast from the patch.

TL:DR The patch isn’t going to anything except enhance Sam the Loon’s mood swings.

Bingo.  No better way to F2.  And if Sam were to go second in the final Block speeches - and suddenly bust out an articulate, well-reasoned explanation for her behavior in a pure gameplay context, and point out how it got her all the way to F2...?  

The vast majority of the time I’m certain the Jurors already have their minds made up long before they rejoin Julie on the Finale stage - but in this context, I could see a substantial number of Jurors momentarily bowled over enough to possibly sway their vote.  And what Sam says wouldn’t even necessarily have to be true, or built to stand up under focused scrutiny - just plausible enough to sway the Jurors, and last long enough for them to pick her Key and lock in a vote.

Doubtful as hell, sure - but possible.  And worst case, Sam still gets 2nd place money.

If this were to happen and she dropped any and all traces of the accent and the baby voice, she’d win.

Parchment paper has always been my preferred method because you don't have to wash the pan when you're done, provided you don't slop cookie dough all over the pan. It keeps them from sticking and it keeps the pan from getting mucked up. Also, the pans look pristine like you've never used them before, which I like.

I don't understand the self-cleaning feature. My oven has one and I've never used it. Doesn't it just crank the temperature up to, like, 700 degrees and just bake everything off? You still have to remove the charred bits from the oven after. Some good old elbow grease and oven cleaner seems like it would be faster.

I am way older that you are and have used parchment paper for decades.  I know many people bake directly on the cookie sheet though and probably always will.  Clean up is a breeze with the paper.

So I didn't watch it because eww but Fessy's HoH vBlog... whatever the hell you want to call it, just came across my Facebook and this was the leading quote:

 I discovered parchment paper a few years ago and I use it on all my baking now biscuits, cookies whatever. Even with coated pans baked goods can sometimes stick. Never with parchment paper. And the pan stays clean.  Plus I don't like coated pans, teflon, etc.

I really like JC on the show, but can rarely stand to watch him on the feeds. I enjoy his DRs and joy for the game, and on the show I don't have to deal with going to fish every time JC sings or sasses production or whatever. It's like I have two brains. He annoys the shit out of me, but I also wouldn't mind if he won AFP.

If Tyler doesn't win he should get it but I could see JC otherwise.  For me anyone this season will be a breath of fresh air over last year Cody the Jerk getting it.

Could you guys please link these twitter links in the future with regular http links as well?  Those of us not on twitter can follow a http link just fine.  But the links you guys leave, leave us non-twitterites with nothing but a blank posting right here on this screen taking us nowhere.  And with even the stuff in blue disappearing and no way to access any of this.  Thanks in advance because I feel I miss half the stuff on this thread because of these links to nowhere.

The non-link I couldn't follow because it is no link for me to The Hive stuff sounded fun.  Like it was a sketch or something maybe.  I'll never know anyway.  Missed that too.

I don't know about that. Her edit isn't as clean as it use to be. They definitely showed her semi-threatening definition of "curb stomping", and JC saying he was terrified. They also showed her having a meltdown in the DR about Tyler's power app and maybe a couple of other things I can't remember. But her edit took a turn when they weren't sure if she'll DOR or not. And I highly doubt they will edit out Zingbot calling her "crazy" tonight.

 

Also on the show after a veto win they always show the scheming about who the replacement nom will be.  There was next to none of it this week other than "Kaycee I need to put you up as the pawn now."  "Yeah sure whatever."  The only footage they have otherwise is Sam's going batshit crazy meeting with Fessy as in I demand a pinky swear to get rid of that floozy Hayleigh because who do you want to hang with if you are hanging in a tree and Hay will be so proud of you being so gamey.

To people who think Sam is playing a great con game for over 60 days straight 24/7 ... what?!?!  She can't remember what she did a minute after she did it.  Johnny Depp can't method act for a tenth as long.  It is totally impossible for anyone to do what Sam is doing as some sort of con.  She is mental and flip-flopping from boycotting the game and maybe dipping her toe in and playing some and it shows as the absolute gibberish it really is.

So she knows terms like "backdoor" etc. Of course she would.  People have been trying to explain the game since the first camera-less week to her and she hears others talking about this stuff constantly.  That's all she hears day in and day out.  A bump on the wall would have picked up those concepts and the lingo.  It's like I went to China and I don't know a single word.  I guarantee you that within the first couple of hours I would have learned "yes," "no," and "bathroom."  Sixty plus days in of total immersion and I'd be ordering pizza perfectly and probably translating and reciting Shakespeare in Chinese.  It's like that.

I don't know which device you use to access the site but that tweet above (and almost all of them) are embedded links from the tweet itself. On a desktop (yes, I'm old school) and using Chrome, I have no problem seeing the embedded tweets. It helps to do it that way because you shouldn't have to click to Twitter to see it, it should just show up right in the post. I'll try to remember to add a text link to tweets from now on, just in case (but no promises because I'm getting older and more forgetful).

I'm on a laptop and only use Firefox ever.  Chrome is way too hackable for my tastes not that Firefox can't be too but Chrome just asks for it.  The links just go blank. 

A few links to twitter were put up with a regular http showing in the link and they worked perfectly for me. 

Guess I'll just not be seeing this stuff if http links are too hard to deal with.  No biggie.  Thanks for the explanation.

Watching Scottie pack along with his ongoing narration is cracking me up. 

He gets his clothes situated, realizes there’s some available space, and heads to the SR. He proceeds to go through cabinets, taking various items out to read the box out loud, and then decides if it’s going with, whether he needs it or not. 

“Traveler’s diarrhea? What’s traveler’s diarrhea? (You’ll probably find out in Greece, my friend.)

“Bug Spray. Will I be needing bug spray? I don’t know, I’ll take it, though.”

He’s treating the SR as if it’s the basket of welcoming goodies in the room at a hotel and the house is the hotel he’s leaving.

That's how I got through my early twenties: flavoured vodka and 7-11 Slurpees. 

Although, if you boil some sugar and water together, add vodka and 7-Up, and throw it in the freezer? You get alcoholic slushies without having to leave the house. I totally recommend Stoli Blueberry and Stoli Raspberry for that. (And if you layer it, add grenadine to one layer, leave one white, and add blue curacao to another layer, you basically get an alcoholic Rocket popsicle in drink form. Mmm, vodka.)
