I cannot stand Jared. I use t get confused if his lies and the ways he addresses people is game play or how he acts in real life.

Based on the conversation with Blue shown last night, this confirms that its his real personality. He's quite the narcissist. I am hoping he is gone tonight. I can assume unless Cerie or Felicia wins he is toast.

Jared's "conversation" with Blue was the worst. That guy is a first rate a-hole.

I wonder how much Felicia will defend either Jared or Cirie moving forward. She seemed pretty damaged by how they treated her last week.

I still miss Reilly and her DR sessions!

I have been happy with the season overall but agree that the theme is okay at best.

I am rooting for America and hoping Jared gets the boot in the double eviction; curious if the mom relationship comes out during that episode if this looks like its happening. And still cant figure out where Bowie fits in with all of this, guess the definition of a floater.

If I told you there was a person named Meme on the show, would you even know who she is?

I legitimately forgot about Meme for like two weeks

Not only does Jared just suck as a person, he's also ****ing terrible at Big Brother

Yes, but it does provide some entertainment value. He is almost at Paul's level of "someone please punch him"

My favorite way Jared tries to deflect is when he says someone is raising their voice at him. Dude, no one is trying to raise their voice. If anyone does it, it's him.

It's embarrassing how juvenile it is. Surely Blue saw that, or is she too infatuated and lets it slide.

Well this should be interesting…

Kinda seems like they picked this week to give Jared/Cirie a chance to stay if they got evicted since that was their big storyline this season

What an absolute waste of time

If Cam wins the zombie battle back, and the house targets Cirie, she and Jared could both be out pre jury.

I recently started watching season 1….I'd thoroughly enjoy watching a simplified version similar to the original, raise food, earn money for meals, real slop, limit what can be brought in. Votes to see who will be eliminated.

Theme this year is trash

2 person battle back. Good work idiots

Are they intentionally lengthening the season due to the writer's strike?

I can't imagine how frustrating it would be to play a game where the rules are constantly changing.

"Expect the unexpected" is code for "Some of you are about to get hosed"

Always been that way. They protect the HG's who they decide, or ratings/social media buzz determine, are better TV as long as they can.

Sad, but true.

And maybe not always. Feels like manipulation got turned up to 11 maybe around season 9 or 10?

Their contract has language that basically defines it as not a game show but for entertainment purposes, which allows production to ultimately do whatever they want and pick winners/losers if they want.

Here are some nuggets from "Rob Has a Podcast" on YT:

• It's been 35 days since Hisam was evicted, in that time only two other contestants have left the house. (Red and Izzy)
• Only two men in the house have not been voted out. (Cory and Matt)
• 14 of the 16 competitions have been won by men.

Yep, they want Jared and Cirie in the house as long as possible because they pushed that so hard. I fully expect Jared to get back in the house in a situation that may or may not be rigged in his favor

They can get him back in but the whole house is against him and her. They only have each other and cerie only has mind games, she isn't winning comps

Serious question: Is Izzy a biological male that transitioned to female? Or a biological female that is lesbian? My wife and I have aren't sure, especially after she was in the hammock with Hisam with tons of armpit hair.

Even our 6 year old son said "Is Izzy a girl or a boy?" I just quickly went with "girl!". Either way, she was nasty in all ways and glad she is gone.

She's a lesbian

But also weirdly into Matt

I mentioned that to my wife how entertaining I found that aspect

I am not a fan of the 9PM timeslot on Sunday (especially when it's delayed due to football)

agree. It should be like a mon/wed/ fri show.

and the questions are going to be geared for Jared:
In Survivor, what happened when Cirie did this?
When exterminating, it's best to use this?

Depending on who wins the reward. What would y'all do, play and control your fate or force the other player to play and lose.

Do you think they will get hints as to what the final battle back will be?

Last night the RHAP recap joked about bring back the Kaitlyn puzzle for the Thurs comp

After watching last night episode you can see where Jared gets his lies from, his mom. Both gaslighting and turning the tables around when they get caught. They deny deny deny.

Also, Blue cares more about Jared and what's going to happen to them after the show. She looked desperate on last night show and real bad with how Jared was treating her. We see that in the spoilers but the show finally showed that.

except she's good at it. And he's an idiot.

Watching the live updates from the past week it was interesting he said guys have won 14/16 competitions but 6/8 guys have been eliminated

On the competitions I don't feel sorry for the show. Stop selecting unathletic/fat/older women vs young athletic males.

Every year should be split even young athletic males and females, older smarter males and females. Then a sprinkling of middle ground young smart unathletic nerd types.

These are the demographics that should be paid attention to not race or gender identity

Might just be recency bias but Jared might be my most disliked houseguest ever

It's been a minute. Last one I can think of is Paul.

Paul was either the first or second season I watched. I remember the board didn't like him, but I actually did. He was at least really good at the game.
