Wed 8/9 episode

While I never expect much out of veto episodes, I expected even less tonight with the Luke bullshit. Most of what we ended up seeing is what we should see on the first Sunday episode as the HG's get to know each other and alliances are formed. But BB insists now on doing a live move in (be careful what you wish for) so the first Sunday episode it the get to know you shit we should see on the premiere.

But I digress. I was ok with the fluff and everything all the way up to the actual veto comp. OK, it's a stacking comp, but wait we have a twist, players will get random atomic wedgies. Now we've seen them use FX for the dumbest shit but for this they use nothing when you could clearly see there was no wedgie given and the harness was on the torso with a separate rope pulling their "underwear" But I can even look past that. Here's the problem. Hisam wins, we see him talk to Kirsten and then we go to his deliberation and meeting. Nothing else is shown with Izzy stirring up shit getting Cirie paranoid that Reilly wants to backdoor her or any of the other shit that happened between the comp and meeting. Yes a lot changes with the Luke expulsion, but that doesn't erase the gameplay that happened beforehand and it needs to be shown

Once again, I was not privy to all the stuff with Luke or other updates that happened over the past couple of days, so I watched tonight's episode without that knowledge. From that perspective, I was really pissed that we didn't see other conversations that Hisam had about using/not using the veto. We should have AT LEAST had a conversation between Reilly as the HOH and Hisam as the veto winner.

Now about this Cirie/Jared thing. I am about to pull out my hair already. She was a good strategist on Survivor, or at least it seemed that way, so why is she seemingly so stupid in this game when it comes to strategy? She was in this alliance with those girls, the bye-bye bitches. That originally didn't include Jared in any way, shape or form. Jared then tells her about the alliance he was asked to be in and because SHE wasn't included, she wants to target them immediately. She seems to want to make sure her and Jared are in all groups together, which is the one of the dumbest things you can do. You would want someone you can trust 100% in other groups to bring you information and you could bring information to them. This makes it easier to control all sides of the house. Instead, you are putting all your eggs in one basked.

And another thing with Cirie is that she should know better than to advertise her alliances so blatantly like she does with Felicia. People would assume they would gravitate together being the other women in the house, but right after the "nomination ceremony" when her and Felicia hugged, one of them said something about "my boo" to the other and the other one made noises agreeing with it. Why not just wear matching t-shirts saying you are aligned together? That would be fine if she were outside of her core alliances and would be her "expendable partner" if nominated together, but if Cirie is on the block next to Felicia, she is 100% going home.

My favorites are still Jag and Reilly and my least favorite is Izzy but Cirie is getting there. I think Jared would have been a much better player without her.

I try to not pay much attention to Cirie but it's near impossible as she is obviously the production favorite and all the fanboys/girls are up in her ass on social media as well. Even on the feeds there seems to always be at least one camera on Cirie. She never should've been cast IMO and the fact that she was and is not an immediate target speaks volumes. Either these people are all just stupid, or they are afraid to go after her because they've seen what's happened to people going after returning players in the past, namely all the protection they get

The episodes are all built around her as well, so it stands to reason that she is always on the feeds. What I want to see is her or Jared to win HOH and the family pictures that they will have to send. I realize they won't include Jared and Cirie together, but imagine what his siblings look like since he resembles her so much. Also, it is only a matter of time before they slip up and he calls her mom or something like that, or they get caught talking because every time they get a chance in a room they whisper and she hugs him. And it stands to reason that Janelle is out there on team "bye-bye bitches" for obvious reasons and she has quite the fan base to keep it going.

Interesting little tidbit...I just watched some of Traitors, a reality show that ended it's first season in January, and it included some of the reality show players from BB, Survivor, etc. And guess who the winner was? Cerie. Won 250K for being the one that fooled everyone and took home the prize! Looks like she's getting around the reality show circuit....

It's funny because most of the alumni are backing her 100%. The only one I've seen call it out for the bullshit it is and how stupid these people are for not targeting her is Evel Dick

That is a very interesting tidbit Imok, thanks for posting it. And Ctown, I am not surprised that Evel Dick is the only one calling this stuff out. Whether you agree with him or not, he WILL tell it like it is in plain English and he doesn't care who reads it or comments on it.

It's too bad Izzy is the only one who figured the Jared/Cirie relationship out. It could have been a nice thing to uncover at the right time and place by someone who would know how to use it to their advantage.

Yep, Dick is a good guy and he's exactly like he was on the show. From talking to him myself from a few years ago when he called me before I was to go on his show, he didn't mince words and let me know exactly how he enforces the rules on his show, which is basically, don't be a complete asshole to the other guests, don't have to agree but don't be an ass about it.

It's funny on his Twitter feed when the fanboy/girls start their bullshit, he just tells them to stop following him. I think the funniest is when Paul tried calling him out for things being his "schtick", he just let loose on him

Anytime anyone puts Paul in his place is a great time for me. That is one that I just can't tolerate.
