Sunday 10/15 episode

No surprises here other than another display of Cirie being completely hapless in any comp that has ANY physical activity whatsoever. I wish they would have told us everyone's time once they revealed who winning time and that Jag was the one who won it. Most everyone said their times on the feeds, but I don't remember Cirie ever revealing hers.

America saying that she would have went after Matt and Jag is pretty funny. Once of two things would have happened if she won it. Cory would have talked her out of going after Matt and Jag because he KNOWS she couldn't keep a secret to save her life, and before you jump on me Ctown about Jag not keeping it secret, my point is that in America's case, she would really NEED to keep it secret because she doesn't have the comp prowess (and neither does Cory) to keep those noms the same AND win again next week to keep them safe again.

The other possibility would be that she makes the move she wants to make but just can't help herself and reveals it to Blue that it is her, swearing her to secrecy of course and the next thing you know EVERYONE would know. Then if the POV had even played out EXACTLY as it did with Jag and Blue the winners, she would at least have to replace Jag and there is a pretty good chance that Matt would survive and now both of them are coming after her and Cory. She would have been screwed over even more than Jag with routes to take after the veto.

I am really sick of watching Cirie being the house narrator when she is such a non-entity in the game right now. Even Felicia has more of a chance of making a move than Cirie and she blows up her own game every couple of days!

I forgot to mention Cory's performance in the comics comp. He told us in the DR that there is no way he was throwing this comp, so you would expect him to put in his best effort.

Supposedly memorizing things is right up his alley. He supposedly has studied the game and has seen the comp over and over and over. This means he should be aware that the best strategy from basically everyone who has won this comp with a great time is to put the comics in order first and then work on the differences. You put them all in order (both comics stacked on top of each other for quick changing) and see the differences as you are stacking then zip line as few times as possible. Instead he tried to break them down and do something a bit different and ended up with third place with a time almost 4 minutes longer than Jag's winning time.

So Ctown when you asked me earlier if Cory is not as good as we thought or if he has just been throwing, I am beginning to think it is the former and just uses the excuse that he threw it. But now it will cost him his game, because he is almost SURE to go home this week.

I have not watched the episode, will maybe get to it later. All I want to see is the comp anyhow.

Here's how production fucked up the invisible HoH. It should have been mandatory that whoever wins CANNOT tell anyone, even their closest ally. If they tell anyone, they lose their HoH and become the third nominee. By allowing them to tell, it took what could have been a decent twist to get the paranoia level on high alert and turned it into yet another failed twist

There are many ways for people to figure out who it is and if they added the mandatory rule of not telling it is a slippery slope. If someone smiled at someone and they GUESSED that they were HOH, then the person loses their HOH? And I would assume that EVERYONE would have to be told of this rule, so if a person is NOT HOH and they want to take the person they suspect out of power there are many ways to push until someone basically gives it up. I suppose if they don't say the words, it could work, but when Jag told Matt all he did was wink at him.

The multiple vetoes is what killed this thing because they knew going in that everyone would compete and there was a possibility of losing both the nominees any HOH put up. Plus doing it with so few people in the house makes it almost impossible to keep it secret because of the potential of 5 people being safe (4 from vetoes/saved and 1 HOH), leaving 3 for the block. Not to mention there are 2 of the 8 people left in the house that had ZERO chance of winning it, which narrows it down even more.

Just make the rule that they aren't allowed to talk about the HoH or give out any clues. Hold them accountable that they have to keep the secret. While not on the same level of Matt's Diamond POV in S12 (Nobody knew it existed so was easy to keep secret), it could work. And yes, the 2 vetos didn't help matters either.
