Hoping Kaycee wins!

Not surprised Tyler nominated Hayleigh and Scottie. Guessing H is the target and if one of them wins veto he will put Sam up.? Also been reading JC has been doing some really crazy things in the house.

@Linds911 I haven't watched the feeds but I've seen comments from viewers who are frustrated that JC is allowed to stay with all the inappropriate touching he is doing.

There is a article in US Magazine that he once again said the N word yesterday . I just do not know why they do not eliminate this type of behavior. Also on twitter people are saying that they want him off the show.

I didn't like JC from the beginning.

He is definitely testing the limits of what production can do. Evidently there was a production meeting after him supposedly saying the N word again. Not all producers agreed that he should stay but evidently those who thought he should were the majority.

I don't have twitter but evidently the account REALvegas4sure tweets real time information about the show. Speculation is that this is someone on the inside of production. JU follows and reports the tweets so I see them there. The above is from a tweet today.

Some people say JC said the n-word and others think it sounds like snickers. He's had several incidents the past few days. AG has had to speak with the victims and JC. I'm back to not liking he guy again.

Kaycee won POV. Nom's will remain the same. Either Scotty or Haleigh will be evicted. Looks like Scottie as of now.

Of note, Scottie has informed the others that the three that were in jury and now including Fessy, had agreed to vote as a block. Once all 5 of them are in jury they will decide who none of them will vote for and will vote in the end for the person least offensive. This really is despicible. It taints the game. That being said, I have a hard time believing that a superfan like Scotty and a decent girl like Haleigh would actually do it. The other three I can definitely see being bitter biatches.

The problem with the game these days is that it is way too long. 100 days with about the same # of houseguests that used to play in a 70-80 day game is why there are such things as puzzles people can't complete to stay in and battleback competitions. People coming back into the house very rarely works out for that person. They are usually the voted out the next time unless they win veto.

They really need to go back to the basics of the older seasons:

1) Food comp to determine have/have nots
2) Luxury comps to get luxuries in the house
3) Regular weekly eliminations with no one coming back into the game
4) One double elimination week towards the end of the season is OK.
5) And, IMO, most importantly, cut back on the number of days they are in the house.

One of my favorite seasons was the 2nd shortest season of the show (Season 7 All-Stars). 72 days with 14 people. No one returned to the game and there were 2 weeks with double evictions. I was watching feeds at the time and it only got boring at the very end after Will was evicted and it was down to the final 3 houseguests.

For reference this season is 99 days and has 16 houseguests.

I have been watching clips of competitions from old seasons on YT and I actually like the simplicity of the competitions back then. They didn't take as long to set up or take down so the houseguests were not locked out of the backyard as long. That was also why they could have food and luxury competitions.

Sometimes going back to the basics is a good thing...

@havadrpepper I think casting is at fault as well. Now it is more people being recruited vs fans of the show applying. Most of these people have no clue as to how to play the game. Also, they cast the same types over and over again and most of them are young. If you are over 30, you are pretty much guaranteed to be eliminated ASAP.

Another season I lost interest in and am just following along here and on Hamstertime.

A lot of people, including myself, feel the same way about going back to old school BB. Most of the twists aren’t necessary and fail miserably. Look at this year, all three power apps failed/weren’t used. Now we have two identical weeks to compensate with interchanging Fessy for Scotty. Have nots are terrible. I’d rather have food comps for food for the week and, at worst, PB&J.

This show like some of the other reality shows appear, IMO to be holding on for dear life. Getting tired and stale.
