Technically she would be more than that. Pregnancies are calculated starting with the first day of your last period, not when you had sex. By the time you actually conceive, you're around two weeks pregnant.

By the doctor’s guesstimate for a pregnant woman’s expected due date, sure - but not by reality’s clock.  :)

[Note: The following may not be what you meant, but this is how your post read to me - so apologies if I misread. ]

Doctors base their EDC calculations on the woman’s last menstrual period, but they do so because patients’ recollections are notoriously inaccurate and unverifiable - not because a woman’s body somehow knows to “become pregnant” some indeterminate time before a fertilized egg actually attaches.  The LMP date is simply the last date the doctor can realistically assume for sure you weren’t pregnant.  The first ultrasound usually narrows the expected delivery date down much more accurately; if the ultrasound due date is +/- 9 days of the doctor’s initial calculated EDC, though, then doctors will usually view that as being within an acceptable error range and go along with their initially stated due date.  

We the Viewers have an advantage not normally available to OB/GYNs, though - namely, cameras running 24/7 and HGs foolish enough to think they can dodge them.  ;)  From these we can narrow down Chris and Bae’s range of opportunity for Close Encounters of the Third-Forming Kind as falling somewhere between 7/2 (their first bumpfest) and 7/12 (their last before Chris got evicted).  Which means if Chris’s bee did sufficiently pollinate Bae’s flower, she would have to be somewhere between 76-86 days along come Finale Night.

What a weird thing to do. I guess I get it, though. Being locked in a house for 80+ days with the same people, this stuff is bound to happen. In other seasons, Brett would be a target just because of this.

So, I didn't watch the latest episode of Big Brother until now, but Sam's last DR...whew.

She mostly seems concerned with looking stupid, not necessarily being voted out, so Tyler better be careful. If she ends up feeling he played her, she might kill him.

I think Angela's family is from Hilton Head and Tyler was living there before the show (his family package was shot in Ohio, right?).

But that's a good point about Hurricane Florence.  I think last year Josh's family told BB not to tell Josh about Hurricane Irma because everyone was safe and they didn't want Josh to lose focus on the game.  Maybe BB will follow a similar policy (i.e. follow the family's directive) this year?

No, I completely understand that. I am just saying, in lay terms, when someone says they are 13 weeks pregnant, it includes time before the deed actually happened. (I know, because my husband and I did IVF for this baby, and we implanted a 6-day old embryo, waited 9 days to take a blood and on that day of the blood test, I was, for all intents and purposes, considered 4 weeks pregnant, even though in reality that baby was 15 days. My due date is 36 weeks after that blood test, not 38 weeks. 

So yes, in reality, she would be 11-12 actual weeks along, but when she would go to her OB or when someone asks based on due dates, it's most likely more like 13-14 weeks.

Pregnancy calculations are weird, y'all.

More about JC's lack of aim: It's because he doesn't like to touch his "pee-pee" so he doesn't even really aim, I guess. He was saying that to Tyler.

I'm hoping this is the straw that breaks the camel's back - at least Sam's back because I bet she's the one that cleans up after him. They were talking about Sam coming in to clean.

I’m on pins and needles for the DE. Who wins HOH? Who wins POV? Who gets evicted? So many questions. Only, 3 more days. Can the remaining Level 6 stay intact? At least, it will be something different then the last two weeks which were boring and predictable. Had Brett won HOH it might have been a little different.......I think.

Did JC call it his "pee-pee"? Because I am 100% over the infantile image that everyone - including JC - has created for him because of his height. Fuck that shit, you're an adult, JC. It's called a penis. Alternately, a dick, a cock, a dong, and a million other names that aren't coming to mind but I probably use on a regular basis. But "pee-pee"? Nope. You're not three, you annoying piece of shit. Use your grown-up words. 

Also... doesn't like to touch it? What? Then sit your ass down on the toilet and take a whiz. Oh, wait, lemme guess, that's too girly for him. Then wash your fucking hands before handling your dick and then wash them again after (which really, I don't understand why washing your hands before touching your genitals is such a novel idea but judging from the "uh..." looks I've gotten after suggesting it to a few men over the years, it doesn't seem to be part of the recommended bathroom routine? Or I just met a lot of weird slobs with questionable hygiene.  I dunno). It's not rocket science!

Random thoughts...I'm kind of disappointed Sam might go during the DE,  but a surprise eviction could make for a pretty entertaining interview. I bet after Scottie, the censors will have their fingers hovering right on that delay button, lol.

Tyler better start upping his GBM game. Being seen as the puppy dog has protected him to this point, but he can't be seen as being controlled by anyone in the Jury. 

Who do they think flipped Kaitlyn to backdoor Swaggy C? Pretty interesting they know how close Tyler/Kaitlyn were, but the HG that was evicted and flipped on her own alliance for the other side was perceived as the one being in control.

It's a testament to Tyler's ability to keep the target off himself, but he also needs to show and tell the Jury to get credit. 

ETA: Tyler should just try and drag Sam to F2. Kaycee is a sudden competition beast, Angela is perceived as the master of Tyler, Brett seems to have gotten his Lone Wolf persona to work for him, and JC did a lot of work without being part of the those labeled "Entitled" by FOUETTE.

He does kind of follow Angela around. However !! Kaitlyn was the one to follow Tyler around. She was literally on top of him from the moment he opened his eyes. Squeezing into his disc in the HN room.

Oh, now on feeds Hay is insinuating that she heard Tyler and Angela fooling around. She said it was kind of like hearing Swaggy and Bay.  Hay and Fessy have kissed more than Angela and Tyler.

Once JC hears about this makeout sesh that Haleigh heard, Thursday could get crazy. He's going to be pissed. And I don't know if he'd protect Tyler anymore after he lied to JC's face multiple times. 

If Tyler sinks his game because of makeout sessions, it will be a heck of a twist. And he's going to kick himself forever if that's what does him in.

I really don’t understand what Kaycee, Brett, and JC are doing. Getting rid of Haleigh is the absolute worst move for their games. I know that they each think that they have a final 2 with Tyler, but at some point you have to deal with reality; the fact is you’d have to be blind to not know that Tyler and Angela are in a showmance. That right there should make them think that maybe he’s changed his mind about their final 2 deals…Is he supposed to say, “gee, I know we have a final 2 but that was before I got all googly-eyed over Angela soooo our final 2 is off.“ Get real, they need to wake up.

And the second fact that should make them realize their final 2 deals are bogus is that none of the other houseguests are coming up to them to talk game about getting to final 2. What I mean is, Brett isn’t going up to Kaycee or JC and saying let’s get to final 2 together and vice versa. Well, why not? Because they must already have a final 2 deal with someone, it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out that it must be Tyler.

On Friday or Saturday’s BBAD, everyone except Sam was upstairs by the chess table making small talk like co-workers killing time on a business trip and Tyler and Angela were laying in bed downstairs holding hands and staring into each other’s eyes. Like for at least an hour. How did Brett/JC/Kaycee not notice that? I think it’s extremely foolish to believe that someone will be more loyal to a final 2 deal than to a showmance.

I predict Tyler will take Angela to the final 2 and will win the game. I think Tyler wins against anyone still left in the house except Haleigh. Brett, Kaycee, and JC should use Haleigh to get Tyler out of the house and then ditch her before the final 3.

In other news, Sam was clipping JC’s toenails on BBAD tonight. Vomit. I’m sorry that I had to share that news, but if I had to watch it, you have to read about it! lol (Maybe she was painting his toenails, idk because I fast forwarded through it, but either way it's gross.)

Also, last night when they were eating the Chinese food, JC was teasing Tyler about being a corpse because he has low body heat or something and Brett says something like, "that's why you kissed him right?" Like basically saying you weren't too grossed out not to kiss him. I thought it was hilarious that Brett just called JC out like that in front of everyone.

I don't know why you are complaining. There is such a simple solution. Just get a good kitchen knife and a magnifying glass (or a microscope) and cut off his dick and then after that, he will have to sit down whenever  he uses the toilet.  Problem solved!

It would also help if he was given a tonguectomy at the same time or maybe a larynxectomy? Either or both those procedures would make this world a better  place. Don't you think?

You are very likely correct about JC. But there is one important detail about him now.

He has now become essentially irrelevant to the struggle. Nobody left really give one shit about what he says or what he does or what he wants.

No one even gives half a shit. Not even a quarter of ... well ... I'm sure you know where I'm going with this.

The only thing we can do in response to JC is try and find some entertainment value and just laugh at the creep.

In all probability,  HayBrain (stands for Half a Brain) will be the first to go in the DE and then either Sam or JC (I would guess there's a 75% chance it will be Sam) will go after that.

The 2nd person to leave in the DE will get precious little time to talk or to be heard. It's really a very sad position in which to leave the house. It will prob be Sam. But I'd be happy if it was JC.

Of course this has just been my opinion and I read something interesting today. It was a small adaptation of and old saying, "Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one but some of them stink more than others."  If JC doesn't go on  Thursday, there is a good chance he will go at the very soonest opportunity.

He has made himself so irrelevant that the other HGs will just keep throwing him back up on the block and ignoring any of his tears or tantrums or angry rages. Fuck him!

Even if he was to win every single competition from now till the end of the game, I don't know that he could still make it to F2. He certainly wouldn't win the Jury vote against anyone. At least that's my opinion.

Getting rid of Haleigh is the right move as of this week.  She will beat every single person in that house in a jury vote and they all don't have a trusting game relationship with her.  Sam is slightly better for all of their games as she won't win a jury vote (unless super bitter) and she is actually somewhat controllable in their eyes.

 

For JC and Brett keeping Haliegh was the wrong move last week as well.  At that point you could go into that next HOH with a 4 person deal and increase all their chances of winning.  They could realistically take a show at Angela and KC and still have Scottie as a meat shield in front of them that had to get out during the DE.  Unfortunately it was an extremely risky plan without Tyler on board and they couldn't get a rid commit from Scottie last week on what he would do.  They can't save Haleigh this week because their is a decent chance that she gets to top 4 and at that point she can win out and all of them have a guaranteed loss for the season.

It’s really interesting that Tyler has made his game so under the radar that now he’s gonna have to scramble to get jury votes.  And that Kaycee has now become the favorite to win. They’ve basically reversed roles and I don’t think Tyler even realizes it.
