‘Big Brother 19’ Interview: EvelDick Weighs In On Mob Mentality Game Play

1,065 Comments

1. Loved EDs comments…..he is spot on.

   • Yes, he is.

   • I agree 100%

   • ED is 100% correct this is the worse BB ever, Paul should have never entered the game, and with so many advantages, His return killed this season and the producers allow him and his puppets to bully and isolate good competitors . I was blown away with all the cruel and brutal behavior of these people. how can you allow someone that is injured to remain in the BBH. The show should be cancel if this is the future of BB. Very disappointed fan of the show.

     • completely agree Fan. And how about allowing Matt to continue to break the rules of the HNs but he just got one more vote. The last person kicked out for basically the same behavior, if not less, will probably sue for being dealt with more harshly.

     • BB should not count Matthews jury vote (if it does not suit them )
       No they want Cody and Matthew in jury to keep a lid on Kevin and Jason hurting each other

     • Just not Christmas what about Raven who could not be a have not because of her disease I feel if you can’t play the whole game then you shouldn’t be allow to play at all. She has lied so much about her disease. If I had to pick someone to win it would have to be Jason. All the rest are bullies and mean girls.

     • we don’t know for sure she lied so don’t assume because her disease is one the invisible ones!! but I Def can’t her, an was a joke

     • you had me until canceling the show…

   • I think BB14 (Dan, Brittany, Ian, Frank, etc.) was the last great season. While it did have returning houseguests, it was done in a neat way with mentors and the only other big gimmick was Pandora’s Box. We got one of the best winners of the series in Ian, the amazing “Dan’s Funeral”, Brittany’s snark comments, Boogie’s eviction night, Shane’s eviction, and so many likeable personalities that it was fun to root for many of them. We don’t speak of Willie, though.

     Then BB15 happened. Y’know…”the racist one”.

     • I thought 16 was great. Derrick was a mastermind. Cody was nice. Caleb was an idiot but entertaining, and Zach was made for TV

     • Wasnt 15 where Grodner took over? Whch season had the Brigade? Taht was a boring season as well.

     • Grodner’s been there since BB2 but I dunno what exactly happened in BB15 for it to change so dramatically. Season 12 was the Brigade, and the gameplay for that season was awful due to an alliance effectively “solving” the game by having the numbers on their side from Day 2. Except for the gameplay the rest of the season was strong as far as characters go. I’ll never forget Rachel vs Ragan and the infamous cookie scene.

     • I thoroughly believe that Dan got shafted. That was the only season, where regardless of what I thought of the houseguest, that I disagreed with them winning the game. Dan played a masterful game and personally was instrumental in evicting almost all of the jury. The jury became petty for being outsmarted and gave Ian the win to spite Dan.

       I can see that this jury is probably going to be petty as well, instead of rewarding great game play.

     • I agree that Dan played a stronger and better than he did in season 10, but he also burned many bridges to do that. Ian was on good terms with all while still playing a really strong game, winning when it counted the most and maintaining good will with all. Don’t forget: he was the one who organized the Quack Pack and evicted certain people the moment he could while still protecting himself (Boogie ring a bell?).

       He was like an off-shoot of BB2 Will: let Dan move the game around but only enough to make him get all the blood on his hands to get there, especially after the house realized what a threat he was. Add onto that a very strong case Ian made in his final two speech about where Dan was making too many promises and did some underhannded things to get to the final. I disagree with Dan being more deserving than Ian personally but I will never fault anyone for saying he should have won either: I respect both guys a great deal and BB14 along with BB10 will be my favorites of all time.

       Also it should be said that Dan is extremely entertaining on Northernlion’s gaming streams so I’m not speaking bias, lol.

     • If you think Paul is great game play then you are seriously no true fan.

   • Allison Grodner needs to SOBER UP. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/af58fd12b2d8f577224a9514dd615263773079824e956b5856a68357e283d838.gif

     • she needs to be GONE

     • 100% agree AG has ruined this show,and if they end up keeping her then maybe the best thing woud be to cancel the show, because she has definately shown her favoritism this yr,making this the worst bb ever.

   • In total agreement with eveldick. Production has made a wreck of the game and the shows changing each year. This is the worst season and cast tho I like Kevin and Mark for their kindness and Cody for having balls to see Paul for what he is.

     • I agree. Bringing a vet who was a finalist the previous year did a lot of damage to this season. Everyone was kinda like “starstruck” at the start like….why? he’s going to be competition at some point…So many good players were gone too soon and all that’s left were sheeps running around the house.

2. Yes. Not a fan of his, but agree completely with his statements. This is a production interfered game and it doesn’t work very well.
   Once HGs go home and watch the show, they may still want to hang out with Paul. Slow minded individuals. I hope Kevin stays far away from everyone for the rest of his life.

   • yep- I never liked him as a player or his tactics as well- he is right about production and returning players…. Survivor is doing the same thing- they think they are keeping the game new and fresh with the additions from season to season but it is really just interference with what the players are doing-

     “rapey rodeo clown”.. to funny- Jason will hate life for awhile after he gets out- he will have to hide with Alex

     • Paul has orchestrated a lot of ish this game, but pinning that one of Paul- no way. At the end of the day these are consulting adults and responsible for their own behavior. Paul did not take Josh’s hands and bang the pots and pans together. He may have told him to do it, but Josh can (and has) said No. I’ll give credit where credit is due and Paul did instigate a lot of drama, but I did not see any guns to the head.
       And I think they all SHOULD go back and watch it and be ashamed of themselves- except maybe Cameron and Jillian since they only had 2 seconds of fame.

     • What did Ramses do ? he seemed funny to me, Robin Hood men in tights … Fagala ? No just merry lol

     • No, Ramses is probably good. I liked him too.

     • Charles Manson didn’t put a gun to the head of his family of murderers and he got sentenced to life in prison.

     • Charles Manson didn’t put a gun to the head of his family of murderers and he got sentenced to life in prison. He wasn’t even at the scene of those crimes. Paul kind of acts and looks like Charlie. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/914a4ecee4ce87fc44b31c5ef0362f53415d1b391432b37d8ae30e0d9fcb5253.png

     • Paul did not dose them with salts of lysergic dimethalyde, unless it is in the Kool-Aid, Ken Kesey, for the lions and the lambs

     • looks like him too

     • Umm, Yep totally the same thing. One manipulated people into murdering others and the other convinced someone bang pots and pans together and be mean to people. People, who by the way, were pretty vicious themselves. Call the Calvary now. Seriously

     • You’re right, he didn’t FORCE them to do any of it, they did it of their own volition. However, they think they are in an alliance with him, and they are stupid enough to do what he says. Some people are very impressionable and easy to convince. Josh is definitely that type.

     • He’d be better off hiding *from* Alex.

     • I hope his wife gives him a fat black eye when he gets out because that poor family are the ones getting the brunt of what’s he’s spewing out of his mouth. I know he’s gonna feel REAL bad once he sees that what he said is plastered ALLLL over the internet (& he SHOULD feel bad about it) – gonna break Kev’s poor heart.

   • I really hated ED when he was on the show, but in this circumstance, he has hit the nail on the proverbial head! No alumni should go into a show with newbies…Would Paul be able to manipulate players on an alumni only show??? I don’t think so!!

     • Not quite what he said. He said at best they deserve a spot and that’s it. No advantages or production aid. Personally, I don’t like “vets” coming back at all.

   • I love his description: “c**ty potatohead Alex”.

3. Spot on!

4. He’s right. Everything he said is true about what’s been wrong with the show the last several seasons.

5. He’s right. I stopped watching 2 weeks ago. I only read updates now.

   • This is so weird to me. These “updates” are more detailed than the TV edits are.

     • That, to me, is what is so unfair. You could actually have someone win AFP based on the fact they see the clean edits a character is given on the broadcast episodes. People aren’t seeing Alex’s vile antics and comments towards Kevin. They are at least seeing *some* of the lies Raven is spewing, but maybe not enough. They aren’t seeing a lot of the instigation Paul provides in pushing these people to act their absolute worst. I think the only people who should be allowed to vote for AFP are members of pages like this who get the behind-the-scenes stuff. I for one would be LIVID to see Alex or Raven in particular win ANYTHING.

     • Alex is getting a really good edit on the shows.

     • meanwhile she wished kev get cancer, she wants to rip his face off and wear it as a mask….like, wow!

     • Compared him to a child molester etc. yet none of that is ever shown.
       The people that do not stay up with the feeds or spoilers can a have very different view of how a person actually is.

     • they had a fight last week and I think it might be on Wednesday. she really lit in to him and he replied. “a shoe could beat you in the final 2”
       she was devastated, let’s see how much they show.

     • Christmas comes across the same way. That lovely compassionate woman you see on the broadcasts is not a very nice person, at all.

     • The only passion I have seen in Christmas is when she is rubbing all over her lady parts. Notice BB kept that shot in.

     • Haha your so right dirtydeedsdonedirtcheap

     • You are so right. That is want happened to me. I watched BB for two seasons until I found Jokers. When I started reading jokers I discovered the “real” BB. What a difference.

     • It would be an improvement of as ED puts it her “Potatohead”.

     • Wait, when did this happen?

     • first she was listed as pro-gamer now she is an eco-marketing…
       I have read her father is very wealthy and has ties to CBS
       a trust fund baby that is a college drop out.. no compassion for others

     • like dom said “sales” with air quotes. lol

     • She looks like a Kennedy when she tries to smile.

     • It’s more than a lack of compassion; she lacks empathy.

     • Who is this you’re talking about? Alex?

     • OMG MEEE TOOOO!!! They make Alex out to be a cute little prankster & she’s the B-TCH from HELL!

     • She is a very mean girl. Don’t like her, Christmas and I especially don’t like Raven

     • Raven is nothing but a pos con artist,she said today that both her and her mom has had breast cancer,thats bs MY FORMER GIRLFRIEND DIED from breast cancer,but not before she had a mastectomy,very few people survive breast cancer,raven changes her diseases like most people change underwear

     • I wish you would take that statement back “very few people survive breast cancer.” I’m sorry for your friend but many, many people survive breast cancer. Early detection, good doctors, aggressive treatment plans all contribute to more and more people surviving. Is one death from breast cancer one death too many? Absolutely. But don’t negate the wonderful advancements many, many dedicated researchers and doctors have made because people still die from breast cancer. I owe my life to those researchers and doctors. Ten years cancer free. And trust me when I say a double mastectomy, chemo and being hairless for a year was well worth the price of enjoying my grandkids. We shouldn’t make blanket statements that few survive if there is the slightest possibility a woman won’t do monthly self-exams and have timely mammogram because she heard few survive. So sorry for the loss of your friend and Raven is the worst of the worst.

   • I have watched Big Brother since season 1 and stopped (only read updates on Wednesday) after the house was allowed to question and disrespect Cody’s military service and constantly harass Cody & Jessica. Cody was the only player to actually play the game, attempt to “Back-Door” a major player but production set that up for Ratings! Then he battles his way back in and the torment begins. That entire week was disgusting to the point of ignorance on the part of production. If that kind of behavior happened “outside world”, someone would have gotten his face smashed and for good reason! Just hand Paul the check, that was obvious the second he walked in the door. He was a joke is first season getting beat in the end by the jury because they all saw him for what he is,

6. This game has always been like this just not so many followers. I did not like Paul last year. This year he is the only
   one playing the game. He can’t help the other houseguests don’t have a clue.

   • I agree.

   • The game has not always been like this. I have been watching since season 1 and this game has never had the whole house following one person before NEVER. Paul is the only one playing the game because he is the only one that knows how and he is taking advantage of that.

     • well- I would think at this point the other HG’s would have figured it out- how to play that is…

     • they’ve said “he got us this far” wtf

     • I think they believe they are playing the game, they are just not as good at it as Paul. Paul laid groundwork early and pretty much everyone else currently left went along with the house. The only person feeding into the “house” was Paul. So they went along with Paul. Right now Paul is furthering their game- until he is not. And the problem is that they don’t see when that is. Like Jason and Alex- I think by the time they find out, it will be too late.
       I don’t think anyone is actively trying to lose (except Matt but he does not count). They are using Paul too, the problem is that Paul knows it and is using it to his advantage to say safe.

     • That’s what happens when you pit a vet vs. a new HG.

7. KAB!

8. Love Dick’s commentary here. I recently did a rewatch of Season 8, and albeit his tactics were sometimes harsh, he did have good relationships in the house. When he and Dani went after Eric/Amber (thanks, banner plane), he still maintained a relationship with both AND not only maintaned a game relationship with Eric, but entertained his strategy and gameplay in conversation.

   In BB you can be ruthless without being a jerk.

   • I think BB14 (Dan, Brittany, Ian, Frank, etc.) was the last great season. While it did have returning houseguests, it was done in a neat way with mentors and the only other big gimmick was Pandora’s Box. We got one of the best winners of the series in Ian, the amazing “Dan’s Funeral”, Brittany’s snark comments, Boogie’s eviction night, Shane’s eviction, and so many likeable personalities that it was fun to root for many of them.

     We do not speak of Willie, though.

9. Agree! That’s why Paul should not win! He is a snake and the people in there have no brains, washed out as soon as Paul opened his mouth, he is a puppet master! Sorry but why can’t BB goes back to basics like it was before??

   • who should win out of this bunch then? they are all blind followers- do they deserve the win?

     • Whoever wakes up and is responsible for the paul eviction should win

     • Than they can say thanks for taking me this far but now you gotta go

     • No.
       Money should be donated to an anti-bullying group. I would say a women’s shelter but that was a smaller group that was in on that. Perhaps split the 500k between anti-bullying and a women’s group like the YWCA that work with victims of rape. CBS would do a lot to mend the public image and fan’s disgust by taking that stand.

     • how about they donate to help the hurricane harvey survivors with food, clothing, and housing.AND to an anti bullying organization.

     • hurricane irma coming up too

   • that will never happen while alison grodner is the executive producer,she is too damn biased ,and plays favorites,and its very obvious ,especially this year.

     • Is there a cbs complaint contact or big brother complaint contact we’re we all could slam them with our discuss on the stupid producers allowing or somehow orchestrating how crappy bb has become?

10. I completely agree with him. A back to basics BB would be great! Let’s see actual strategy, with no advantages from production. Let the game play out as it will.

11. Exactly! That’s what the ppl do not realize when they say that Paul is playing a great game. Yes, thinking ahead and being cunning is good game play, but inciting “mob” type behaviour is unnecessary and should never be considered good game play.

    • I consider any strategy that’s working to be good game play.

      • even boxing prohibits below the belt

      • So do the players obviously. Therein lies the problem.

      • Other than Paul, these HGs don’t have any strategy. They all showed up for summer camp. Now camp time is over and they can all go home. Kudos to them all. They made a stipend for never exercising a single brain cell between them.

      • Right. Amazing what passes for “thought” these days.

    • I have said repeatedly in several of my post…The actions of the HGs was not game play…It was just a dam mean group of bitches and jerks ( including Cody & Jessica) bullying and belittling others…

    • The mob mentality is also a strategy adopted by Paul to infuriate and shake the confidence of his victims while have his gullible followers get their hands dirty while he appears clean. More of the blames should be going to the houseguests who are suppose to be playing their games but turned otherwise.

      • Yes. The “mob mentality” is not good game play for anyone. Neither the leader nor the followers.

      • No one’s fault but their own if they are followers, weak people, people with no backbone whatsoever. The world is full of weak people. It’s not the real world. It’s a game. They came to play follow the leader for 15 mins of fame. Good for the leader. He is not at all to blame for their actions.

    • I don’t care for Paul, and certainly have no respect for the rest of the cast (how and a group of adults be so oblivious and such poor advocates of their own interests?) but your “logic” breaks down. Paul hasn’t been in serious jeopardy since the opening weeks of the series, and will most likely make it to at least F3.

      “Good game play” is relative, contextual and relative. Strategy and tactics that produce results withing the company text of a game are by definition “good gameplay.” I think what you mean to say is maybe “in iting mob-type behavior falls under the heading of stuff I don’t like and bunches my knickers”?

      • Actually what I really mean to say is thinking ahead and being cunning is good game play, but inciting “mob” type behaviour is unnecessary and should never be considered good game play.

      • Right. The only thing that undermines your logic here is the fact that a) this is the strategy that Paul is employing, and b) Paul is clearly in a stronger position than anyone else in the house. Quite possibly in as strong a position as any houseguest has ever been, ergo….”it should never be considered good gameplay”? Interesting conclusion.

      • A) that is the strategy that Paul is employing – does not mean it’s good game play
        B) he’s clearly in a stronger position than anyone in the house – which he was from day 1, and did not need to resort to the bullying tactics. I also stated in one of these posts that he likely would still be able to manipulate these houseguests, the ganging up on other housemates is / was unnecessary. The ends does not always justify the means.

      • How would the game have played out has Paul pursued a different strategy? Unknowable. How has the game progressed with Paul pursuing “bad strategy?

        Thw moral preening is a little tiresome. Maybe you’re omniscient and know precisely how the game would have progresssed had Paul not bunched your knickers. I’ll plead humility and confess that I have no idea. Generally speaking, though, If I were playing the game, I would prefer that people leave the house blame someone other than me for their departure. If I could direct the departing houseguest’s animosity away from me and toward some fool clanking pots and pans? So much he better.

      • Moral preening? Lol. I guess it helps your argument if you give mine a name? I have admitted that Paul is playing a smart game, but I think he has taken his game play over the top. The pots and pans is probably the best example in support of my point. Jessica and Cody already hated Josh, so no need for any pots and pans to direct attention from Paul. That was unnecessary. Smh.

      • Moral preening isn’t “your argument,” it’s something that you are doing. Your “argument,” such as it is, is a post hoc account of why someone who’s pretty objectively “winning” a game in which you’ve never participated is doing it all wrong. Your actual “arguement” is along he lines of um…..um, because…because. ummm….because um, unnecessary….and and and…..bully. And mean…..and….well. he’s a big, giant mr mean-pants.

      • At no point did I say that he’s all wrong, or that he’s all around mean. In spite of my breakdown in logic, moral preening, post hoc accounts, (did I miss any?), my argument remains that Paul’s game play of mob mentality/bullying tactics is unnecessary, as pointed out in the pots and pans example that you actually raised. If that constitutes moral preening, then so be it. Bullying is bullying regardless of its packaging.

        At this point, your pretentiousness is showing. You might want to cover that up; the exposed look is unappealing. Unfortunately, in your attempts to school me on my supposed errors in logic, you are spouting certain Philosophy 101 terminology and committing your share of several logical fallacies in the process; and meanwhile, having not offered at least one valid argument which effectively counters mine as stated in the preceding paragraph.

        Ah well, you win some you lose some; at this point I’ll generously count this one as a loss on my end and keep it moving; as we’ll probably just end up going around in circles and it’s not worth the effort; it’s really not that serious.

12. People, please don’t agree so fast!!!!
    You will ruffle all of Paul’s fans on this site!!=) after all Paul is “god”!! To them, and can do no wrong.
    I’m glad they interviewed him as his thoughts were so spot on!!!!
    Thank you Evil Dick for your thoughts!!

    • what?!?! Paul has fans?

      • Yes, he has three fans.

      • No…I think it’s four.

      • Make it 5.

      • https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1bfa1e7c296401198cb56fb5321b4f89818eba2dcc05a515a667fc3a334898cf.jpg

    • Ruffle all of Paul’s fans, don’t think so, he’s just outplaying everyone! Evil Dick, what can I say, KAB!

      • Paul has outplayed everyone and Evil💩 I don’t care what you say or think.

13. Very good interview. He is spot on with his description of Paul. Inciting the ‘mob mentality’ should be all the blood he needs on his hands.
    Evil Dick said it very well. He played to win. He didn’t need to throw everyone under the bus in front of him…..he was driving the bus!!!

    • exactly. everyone knows paul is deciding who leaves and simply plotting and carrying out their evictions would get him the jury’s votes. BUT he feels the need to get “his puppets” to make his targets’ last days in the house miserable. it’s like, “hey, i’m going to be sending you home this week. and just to show you that you never should have gone against me, i’m going to make sure your last days are awful. and the people i allow to still be here better take notice what happens to anyone who goes against me, cuz it might be their turn next.”

14. Dick is exactly right about producers meddling too much in the game. Leading the players, manipulating their thoughts and actions. Stupid twists with expecting the unexpected. It just feels SO orchestrated. It’s no where near as interesting. I much preferred when they were left to their own devices, when the audience voted for evictions, and they all had to compete or work for niceties. Rather than charging for feeds, charge for eviction votes and make the feeds free. That’s how you draw an audience in. Let the audience be part of the process, and leave the players to actually relate (or not) to one another to play the game.

15. Yes yes and Yes!
    Great interview….!
    Agree completely

16. What a hypocrite, trying to justify his actions. All bullying, no matter what form it takes, is bullying. EvelDick just did his differently. It doesn’t mean that his was better.

    Evel Dick is a DICK.

    • I agree. I hated Evel during his time in the show and his game play was horrible, but Evel was better since Paul is just copying him and Derrick.

      • At least ED did his own dirty work. He never hid behind others.

    • Yes he is

17. I agree with Evil Dick, WORST season ever! No rules and apparently production doing too much to shape the game to what they want to happen!

18. I agree with his statement this is the worst season in history of BB. It’s so bad, I literally stopped watching and only watch bits and pieces of what’s going on. Paul has ruined this season and I’m glad for ED’s truthful comments.

19. one thing that set the trend early-on were the production temptations, hex’s, self eviction, safety’s….they bogged down the house early and caused fear and lethargy. to which, paul saw this as even more of an opportunity to guide the young children through the haunted house.
    Allison will never admit this comedy of errors that probably looked better on paper. however, production never tried to right the ship and as the weeks went on, the cruelty and meanness proved effective as THE method to evict. Allison should have stopped this early. did she really think that we were enjoying this? big brother is heartless.
    I’ve had to mute the feed, turn away, turn it off and i’ve cried at the inhumanity. I’m like ED, watched from season 1, and this year the hg’s have bastardized the game. kassting should be fired for her poor judgement. aspiring social media stars should have been a red flag, not a resume builder. maybe, if nothing else, production should have saved them from themselves because I think they will feel shame.
    thank you ED and my best to dani

    • Yep…a lot of the over the top antics could have/should have been stopped by Production….Its only 14 more days and BB19 will be history…

      • the least big brother could have done would be to temper the group

      • Yes Again they could have and should have… …People without the feeds are not privy to seeing and hearing what those of us that have them do. Of course CBS is gonna edit all the mean vile things these HGs have said and done.. We support the show by purchasing the feeds and due to an untold # of viewers calling to cancel their subscriptions CBS offered free feeds…Production just let the situation go to far and they lost control…

      • I’ve wanted to cancel for weeks now, and some days I can’t watch, i’ll just read highlights. the tv bb is so bizarrely different. my family will watch and say, THIS? they showed alex as a little leprechaun, popping up oh so cute. really bb, THIS?

20. Spot on!

21. Most of what he has said is also what I have said here or on Twitter. CBS guys should be skilled enough to edit the show for tv with whatever the cast has thrown at them and NOT have your own storyline to fit every one into. Too much production involvement and it s obvious. Because could careless about integrity in the show they were transparent with production manipulation of parts of the show.

    A vet spoils the show. The show new cast each year is what brings the ratings, not the returning special guest. If CBS guys want a vet back, have an entire season of vets or like they did before vets vs newbies. In those shows there should be no advantages in the first two weeks if you feel u must have twist in the game. Allow ppl to know each other. Also stop with the evicted person on the first night. That is so lame! Let the house simmer and let the games begin. Like we would have liked to know who is Cameron..

    From that point this is what makes BB worth watching. The dynamics created by this batch of new ppl. It makes an old show new again. Maybe CBS should hire me because these points are blatantly obvious.

    I do think this is the worst season, with a cast who may have made it a great season. Paul really did spoil it. So the casting person should not be fired but the person recommending Paul should. I supportedPaul to win last season as again Nicole was an obvious flaw by Production, but only because he was an underdog and had good strategy (this season also shows how skilled Paul can be at this show), but the error is placing someone who has both played the game and insight into what production wants was a big flaw.

    Anyway, I will continue to be a fan of BB but I have stopped viewing the show when it airs. I watch reruns or keep up here. I will tune in for BB20 to see if anything is better.

    And please stop those Groner interviews. They are useless. Maybe she wants to be a star at the forefront. I do not want to be a fan.

    • Perfectly stated. I too, loved the show, but this year, I actually turned the show off and watched football. I’d rather read what is really going on, here, and not have to watch these idiots. Maybe next year?

22. here’s the recipe, paul selects the next to go and the group has 7 days to have at that person mercilessly. don’t even make the comps matter, paul will dole them out at his pleasure.
    fun times, right Allison?

23. I still think there should be POVs in all of this. Gotta at least give the outgoing HOH a chance to save themselves.

    • paul decides who gets pov and hoh too

      • Well Paul decides who will win HOH but ultimately he is the HOH no matter who wins…LOL…

      • so true….he has basically won/commanded all least the last 5 HOH’s and wants to win the next because of DE….he wants be in the driver seat so he doesn’t get back doored….he knows his game.

      • some of these players admit they never watched and aren’t fans. when they were recruited, kasting handed them a tape of season 16 and told them to watch it. Jason admits,he kept falling asleep.

      • there you go….and most of them call themselves super fans just watching a season….what BS

      • Backdoored? That shouldn’t happen because he can play in every veto comp remaining, meaning he can keep noms the same if he wins. On the other hand Cody, couldn’t play in multiple pov comps, and was BDed as a result.

      • It’s reminding me of “Lord of the Flies.”

      • If someone was on the block and won veto, I think they’d use it on themselves. I don’t think Paul can run the table and win or decides who wins every remaining veto comp.

      • but for matt

      • Since there aren’t any HGs in the BB house that side with Cody, then they should use pov on themselves.

      • Yeah, you’d think a person OTB would use the veto on themselves. NOT necessarily so on this program.

        They have on BB what is called the “Marcellas.” This is when you win veto while you are on the block, yet you don’t use it on yourself, and then YOU are eliminated. (There was a Marcellas who first didn’t use own won veto on self and got voted out)

        Matt this season used the veto he won on Raven. Might have been another or two on season and on seasons before.

        There was also a guy on Survivor who had the necklace and didn’t use it on himself and got voted out. There may have been another guy who used it on a gal but he was then outed. Don’t remember for sure on that last one.

    • But the players no longer use the veto as it was meant. Look at this season, every nomination is 1 to 2 pawns and a back door. It’s just a wasted few days on the nomination because the real ceremony is the veto ceremony. Just get rid of the POV so people will play right.

      • I like the POV competitions. How about the HOH nominates 3 people. Veto is played the same as it is now. Veto winner MUST use the POV on someone. Remaining 2 are final nominations. That would eliminate the backdoors (which always seemed cowardly to me anyways) and might help eliminate people throwing the POV.

      • That’s not a bad idea. The HOH would have to nominate people that they actually want to go home.

24. Absolutely spot on!

25. an hour ago
    I completely agree with him. A back to basics BB would be great! Let’s see actual strategy, with no advantages from production. Let the game play out as it will.

26. You can’t come down on Paul….if the sheep follow….you keep leading. The only thing that gave him a big advantage was the first three weeks of immunity….that was handed to him to keep him safe as production feared that he would be a big target and be sent out the door right away…..and that would have happen cause Cody had his sights on him and it backfired….in more ways than one….he then became the target as Paul turned the tables on him right away…if he didn’t have the immunity he would have been out long ago.

    • 3 weeks of immunity is unheard of in the BB house. It was a gift from production so Paul could get a foothold in the house.

      • Yes i totally agree!…..they knew he wasn’t safe in the first few weeks.

      • Jess and Christmas temptations were one and done. Use it and lose it.

      • Four weeks of safety, all total. Paul did not have to compete or acclimate socially the first week…. And after everyone had settled-in initially, the vet, paul, a popular fan favorite, got to make his entrance. For this fame whore cast of moths, paul was The flame to flock to. This cast just craves pauls approval, and will do anything to get it. Just a mess. Stopped watching. DVR recording settings in place since season 15 were deleted after cody exited. Only willing to watch jury show footage via antenna tv. Use an antenna to be certain cbs gets zero addition from me regarding households watching their show via cable box. And, i boycot all products i see in cbs commercial advertisements. Great that i have now discovered that our local storebrand items are so good. So cbs, your advertisers didnt just lose me for the length of this season, your efforts resulting in boycot have led to a non-return to advertised goods with the discovery of alternative items are in fact better in quality and priced lower to boot. Folks, remember, the producers answer to advertisers, and the current direction will continue unless marketing sees an adverteiser revenue decline. Boycot.

    • You forgot about the friendship bracelets & how everyone had to “suck up to Paul” in order to get on his good side. That is 3 weeks of safety AND this… that’s a whole lotta advantages right off the bat – no wonder they all thought they’d better latch on & not let go!

    • you’re forgetting the 8 “FRIENDSHIP” bracelets that the HGs were told to ‘temp’ paul with whatever so paul would give them “Friendship” safety for one week. That was the reason Mark said he gave that temp apple of friendship to paul, to pay paul back for the first friendship bracelet.

    • Don’t forget the immediate DeFacto HOH and Friendship Ceremony. It was like a Coronation and only Cody was rightfully disgusted by the bracelets.

27. The temptations got in the way a few times of game play. I would prefer the game play over anything. Like when Christmas blocked cody from playing in the veto or Paul being on the block in the first week.

28. Agreed 100%. I hope he does backyard interviews and calls them all out,

29. So refreshing to see that it isn’t just the fans who feel this way about this season…

    • I think mr. evil had a falling out with bb, so he’s free and not beholden like the rest of them. we will never really hear the truth from 19 because they all want future invites to the buffet.

      • Players from previous season’s are on social media saying how horrible Paul and this season is. That normally doesn’t happen. Usually they take up for each other.

30. I agree. Go back to old school BB. This is ridiculous!

31. Can we actually voice our opinions to CBS?? ED was totally right, this game isn’t what it used to be! I miss food comps and old school Big Brother. It’s way too manipulated now. This show is great just off gameplay and watching people win off their own merits. Raven would have never gone as far as she did in past big brother seasons. Then she cries like a spoiled brat when someone finally puts her on the block…maybe go win something!

    • Neither would Christmas, yet she feels like she’s making big moves after her HOH “wins with Pail telling her and everyone else what to do. I know a lot of people say that they’re “never watching the show again” but after Sunday’s HOH, I may not watch anymore’ either.

      • After BB18 I said I was done. I’m sick of the same comps, hg know every double eviction, young 20 somethings, showmances, and weak women. But this season they announced an older new cast so I was excited about BB again. But when Paul showed up I knew immediately it was the Paul show. I only watch the eviction episodes and I’m not coming back at all next season. Allison Grodner needs to be fired before I come back. I need BB to be fun again for me.
        But I do like the comps this season, so that’s 1 compliment I have this year.

      • The problem is, they’re not actually PLAYING the comps. It’s predetermined who will win! I mean, the one footed girl winning a footrace! Come on!

      • True, but if they actually played the comps to win they are an improvement. I prefer the crap shoot comps so anyone (not including bb19) has a chance to win.

      • I could have done without the shuffleboard & minigolf setups for one legged Christmas.

    • Raven wants everyone to feel sorry for her so she can win the half mil and never be on the block or win any comps, or be a have not,just wants to lay around the house and have sex,raven is a bigger scumbucket than paul is.

32. Agree with ED 100% on everything, and especially about this being the worst season EVER.

33. ED is right ..The game of BB (as for the viewers who love the show 100%) has been ruined this season…Any season that has people commenting that BB19 is worse than BB15 should make the HGs of BB 15 proud…

    • The game has been sliding down hill for a few seasons. This season finally hit rock bottom. Once showmances became a thing, the show changed for the worse. Allison Grodner and Robyn Kass started picking weak women who can’t win a challenge to save their life and cookie cutter characters. Big brother used to be fun. I’m all for ending the twists and get rid of veto since the house guest have found a way to break the system with nonsense “back doors” and throwing challenges.
      And stop creating stories. I know production needs a story but use the actual story, don’t create one out of thin air.

      • I do think if Christmas hadn’t broken her foot, that she would have won comps without them being thrown to her.

34. I loved the game when Dick played. He was one of my favorite guests. I’m so happy you’ll interviewed him. The interview was great and I of course agreed with all his comments. I’m wondering how old Dick was when he played the first time? I’m comparing him to Kevin. Kevin seems so much older.

    • EvelDick was 44 at beginning of his winning season BB 8; Evel Dick was 48 at beginning of season BB13. Daughter Daniele was 20 and 25. (age at beginning of seasons)
      Kevin was 55 at beginning of this season, turned 56 while here. They had a BD cake.

35. I miss the days when the cast actually wanted to win. They weren’t there for anyone but themselves. I agree with everything ED said in this interview. Why can’t production see what we see? lol

    • They see it…but they lost control of the situation…The HGs are rebelling against the rules…While they admonished Matt for his rule breaking it was too little to late…The season had done gone to ruin…

      • Allison shrugged

36. ED, holla back

37. I totally agree with him. That said, I think some of the worst aspects of recent seasons are people trying to be Evel Dick, but not thinking about his reasoning why or without the brains to really pull it off. His behavior wasn’t so much to further his own game, but to protect his daughter and further her game. He just had the skills in comps to back it up when his butt was on the line. A lot of these houseguests now, try to go what they think is his strategy, but without any intelligence behind it and pretty much just become vile bullies. But its easier for them, because they aren’t smart or as smooth of a talker someone like Dan or Dr. Will who can talk themselves out of being evicted when it should have been a sure thing

38. I came in these message boards over a month ago and said the exact same thing and got lambasted by all the BB robot fans talking about how this was such a great season and I was full of BS for saying that production was meddling way too much paving the way for Paul. Now it’s just more obvious to everyone which is sad because maybe if fans just tuned out this season it might have sent a message to BB. This whole season including the cast has been a complete bust. Only in 2017 is it okay to treat a US military vet the way Paul and that jackass Josh did. Cody played the game and they took offense and took it personal and then proceeded to ruin the show. It’s not even a question in my mind if this was the worst season of BB ever it simply is the worst ever. NO MORE RETURNING PLAYERS!!!

    • I don’t think bb is receptive to messages. fans were never heard.
      this is the Allison show.

    • As a sister of two active military personnel, three active cousins, and several family members that are military vets, in all division of the US military, I was disgusted by the way they treated Cody. I have family members that were in several wars even preparing for…. (no politics here but…)… I have the greatest respect for all those serving in the US military. It is not easy for the soldiers AND their families and for disrespect given to Cody was downright appalling.

      I was asked several times how could I side with Cody (or whatever?), never did I mention my family because regardless, he fought for our very right to have the freedom we have in this country. Now, an even greater respect because it is very close to home. Some military folks (one of my sibling included) are just direct, no time for bulls%&t, but loves deep, live by their word, and will protect you no matter what.

      They are lucky Cody had military training and was able withstand their behavior. How many civilians would have been able to do that?

      • I love the military too, I don’t think these people love anything deeply, including their country.

      • I read at jokersupdates that paul said, (this was caught by a feedster and transcribed and posted), paul said he wants to or is considering joining the Armenian army. So where are pauls loyalties when it come to U.S. military personell? He reportedly said he wants to serve in another countrys armed forces after growing up, and presumedly being born right her in the USA? Is that okay? Did these have any bearing on the ruthless manner in which he orchestrated attacks on a US Marine combat veteran?

      • He could have duel citizenships. Many Americans do..

      • I’m glad I didn’t see the treatment of Cody.

      • I’m an Air Force veteran myself and Paul’s organized attack against Cody’s veteran status was the last straw for me. That’s off limits, find something else to attack but not that.

    • I am agreement with you. Many live feed watchers say they hate Cody for putting Paul on the block and for comments he said due to his lack knowledge or agreement on social issues. But that’s crap. The real reason the live feeders hate Cody is because they let Paul into their heads with garbage just like the actual house guests. All of these people are some level of trash. Except Alex and Paul, they are the scum of all scum.

39. He told the truth, THIS IS THE WORST SEASON IN THE HISTORY OF BIG BROTHER.

40. The season He was on was one of the best! I had no problem with his game play. Loved it.

41. I completely agree with ED, this season sucks and what’s worse is production cuts the shows to make the HG’s look like good people.

42. i agree a million percent with ED

43. Let’s see. Bashing people for bashing people… right.

44. Where did “Evel” come from?

    • The name or the man?

      • The name. I don’t even know what “Evel” is or means.

      • I think it’s a play on the word, ‘Evil.’ Do you remember the motorcycle stunt rider from the 1970’s? Evel Knievel? I think that’s where ‘Dick’ got the ‘Evel’ part from. It rhymes with ‘evil.’

45. I agree 100% with Dick on this

46. Well Evel Dick hit the nail on the head !! He is telling like it is. Yes sometimes he was a butt hole. But this year everyone hates BB and that a fact. Paul has been the devil in the game this year. I ‘v done got to the point i don’t. Care to watch it any more this year. I’m with Evel Dick no more returing people. Go back to the way it use to be. Half this bunch should have been kicked out.I Would NEVER BASH A MAN OR WOMAN that has server in OUR ARM SEVERICE………

    • Paul has no respect for anyone, but yes, bashing and questioning someones time in the military is pretty low. Discussing!

    • I don’t hate it :) I love this season

      • Me too

47. Never thought ED and I would be on the same page but he said all right there!

48. AMEN! I thought is only me thinking this way! thanks ED

49. Thank you Evel Dick, indeed! Everything he said was spot on!

50. “I fell like Paul poisoned this cast…” (Evel Dick)

    That’s what many of us have been saying FOR WEEKS!! In many ways a very DISAPPOINTING season. Looking forward to next summer!

    • not me, i’m not sure they can come back from this. the 20th anniversary season should consist of live executions and burning at the stake.

      • Sure hope they can or, as they say, I’m out. Won’t watch another season if it’s like this one, and I’ve watched every season since Season 1!

      • oh my. lol!

51. even over night, paul told xmas and josh to keep pounding away at kevin, gee, that should be fun. watching a man who raised 7 children be badgered and bullied by a bunch of adolescent punks sure will suck me in.

    • Paul is disgusting for telling them to do it, AND they’re disgusting for doing it. Just my opinion… LOL!

      • josh expressed reservations and xmas said, don’t worry, this is what I do..
        she’s charming.

      • It’s so unnecessary. Kevin isn’t a threat. Paul and his napoleon complex has been out of hand all season. The way he talks down to Kevin is disgusting but he knows he can do it because Kevin can’t win a comp.

      • She’s just a bada$$!!!! If you don’t believe me, ask her. LOL

    • agreed

    • And they keep questioning whether he has as many kids as he claims he has. THey question his parenting skills. B**** Alex keeps spreading BS about him being a child molester or cop? It’s just too much.

52. I stopped watching because ED.. he is “misremembering” .
    He was horrid.

    • I agree, he was horrid back then, there were no live feeds and the shockingness was novel and new. what may be different now is the lynch mob affect for me.

      • Exactly!

    • LMAO…EVEL DICK did not deny that he was a dam jerk and nobody that has commented concerning his opinions has said the he was otherwise….Evel Dick played his own bad ass in ur face game and he admits to it…He did not use or hide behind the other HGs to do his deeds or speak for him….That is what Paul is doing…Go back and reread the interview..

      • Commented the same time…. Took the words right out of my mouth.

    • I think he would agree with you. He owned his nastiness. What he is saying is that he never had anyone do his dirty work, nor did he make things up, just used the HGs lies against them, he didn’t incite anyone to self evict (or to an altercation/their breaking point), he did what he did to protect his daughter (why are they protecting Paul?), he didn’t need a following, etc…

    • You might need to look up the definitions for bullying and sociopath and see which ones best apply to BB19

    • ED was rude?? What’s rude about dumping iced tea on someone’s head and saying they have a “crusty c*unt”? (SARCASM)

      His rudeness was only a sliver of gameplay. He attacked people on a very personal level (about their drug usage, being a fit mother, calling them ugly, etc)…Now he’s sitting back acting high and mighty, ignoring the fact that he would have been voted out if America’s player had not intervened.

      • I’ve seen a few recently on you tube, they are not easy to watch.

      • I never liked him he was such ass to everyone.

    • You are spot on! Watching two people grope each other in bed, or stare into each others eyes is NOT gameplay. I’m not a fan of everything Paul does but he is not forcing people to do anything against their will.

    • Cody rocks. Only one with testosterone in the game … besides Christmas.

      Cody for AFB.

    • Truth. Truth. I also wish no AFP

53. Great interview. This season is hard to watch, for the first time, I miss a show here and there and don’t even care.

54. sweet little pop up alex, so low to the ground. better to kick you when you’re down.

55. I both agree and disagree. Big Brother used the Friendship bracelets by Paul to keep half the house safe gaining trust plus the Pendant of Protection giving him immunity for another 3 weeks. He did have previous knowledge of competitions and good strategy of when to throw them. Where I disagree: with so many pairs this season, it could have been an “easy” week to get out the SOLE vet either pre jury or as a jury vote. BB19 is not over yet but if houseguests continue to play the way they do, Paul will win or possibly Kevin if he can slide to F2 and use vet antipathy against Paul and manage to win a competition.

    • Paul? Is that you? (j/k)
      I like your take…although I doubt Kevin will get to F2 with most of the house against him right now.

56. What’s hilarious about this interview, with ED b*tching about all of the hand that Production has in affecting the outcome of the game….he WOULD NOT HAVE WON his season had production – America’s Player – had not had such a heavy hand in keeping him safe/ voting to keep him/ campaigning for him to stay/ etc. Eric, “America’s Player” knew they needed to get ED out, but “America” kept intervening.

    • I loved how he dropped a little bomb mid-interview….”I made it clear (I asked the producers to please play one DR session on the show) where I said I was doing it to take the target off of Dani and put it on myself.”
      So Dickhead is able to use the powers of the DR/producers, demands that they play his DR sessions, has Eric basically furthering his game in the role of America’s Player but he has a beef with production interference now? F off Dickhead!

      • And I thought I was going to be all alone when I posted my little insignificant comment. lolol

      • Hahahahaha!!

      • Very good. He is a 💩 Head and can not believe he thinks he played such a good clean game.

      • Loved your ending! LMAO!!

    • Imagine if Eric thought for himself?

      • Who’s Eric, Dan? I missed most of the season.

      • America’s player from Season 8?

      • Ah, yes. Thanks!

    • Nice, Jolima!

57. I have been reading ED’s twitter this year. He has been spot on this entire season.
    Paul is nothing but a little punk that cannot do or own up to his own dirty work.
    He is getting a far better edit on the shows than he should.

58. Great verbal take down by Dick on these truly vile people.

59. paul learned his lesson from last year.
    play for the jury, not us, not the other hg’s.
    too bad, it wasn’t very fun for us.

    • Well put!!

60. he is right on with everything he said perfect words

61. Its sad when EVEL DICK of all people claims these people are full of it.

62. Evil Dick?..haha..Give me a break!

    • Cyril, how do you feel about ED?

      • Oh I didn’t mind him at all in his season. I know how he is. That season entertained me, I just think his commentary about BB19 is a lot of bull crap…coming from him?..nope!

      • I meant Erectile Dysfunction. HA!
        I agree with what you said about him, which is why I said, “Holy hypocrite, Batman!”

63. So….ED would like for us to know that his tactics make him a brave and “honest” d*ckhead jerk and Paul’s tactics make him a cowardly “dishonest” d*ckhead jerk. They both used what they had to work with to win. Different tactics, hopefully, same results. Paul wins. I can live with that.

    • LOL, KSJB! For you, I want Paul to win. Personally, I don’t care who wins this season.

      Cody for AFP, I can live with that :-). Or Kevin, or Cameron….

      • Hey, GS! Not Deathstare for AFP, please !!! I will live with it if it happens, though. ;)

      • Hey K.,

        Yes, observant, eagle-eye stare ;-) for AFP. I will live with Rumpelstiltskin winning (especially if that keeps him off future shows).

      • Who is Rump.?

      • Paul. I am trying to remember the story of Rumpelstiltskin. Wasn’t he a greedy little troll that tricked the king out of his clothes?

      • Been a long time since I’ve read that one but that sounds about right. lol
        I don’t think Paul will win AFP. I think Raven will. ;) haha

      • Rolling my eyes at you! Could you imagine if she did? She would go on tour as a spokesperson for her many illnesses. No, gosh, no!!!

      • Would that not bust these HG’s bubble?!?! I wonder if anyone hates Paul so much they would rather see Raven win? OMGosh at the thought!! I agree. No, gosh, no!!!

      • Paul?

      • Why do you call him ‘Deathstare?’

      • I hope someone posts a picture of him for you. I would but I am a computer idiot.

      • Death stare is perfect for him

    • Exactly what I was thinking Miss K. I’ve watched ED over the years and he’s proven to be hypocritical, so I expected nothing less of him. It’s all fine and good as long as he does it but how dare anyone else? GTFOOH

      • Where is the bas turd? Come out and play ED!!! lol

      • I liked him during his season, his dickish blended well with the game of BB. I’ve watched him on a few other shows outside of BB and wow, he really is a dick and his twitter….I keep trying to follow him but after a while I have to unfollow it’s so foul and if you are offending me, that’s saying a lot. I’m rarely offended by what others say, he holds no sway over me with his words here. He hates Paul, he has an agenda and he made his thoughts known, good bye a**hole.

      • He got 15 more minutes here so good on him, I guess. I can read just about anything for a good laugh. I had a good laugh.

      • I agree…I thought he was funny/ fun to watch on his season – although I would have HATED to be Jen – but he does seem to really live up to his name.

        I feel bad on a human level for saying it, but there seems to be a reason his daughter keeps on not talking to him.

      • Yes, the fact that his own daughter still wants nothing to do with him is very telling to me, and I couldn’t stand her! LOL

      • I couldn’t stand her either LOL!!! Omg she was such a whiny brat half the time. I respected her game play though, and props to her winning so many times. But yeah she was annoying

      • OMG, I thought I was the only one who couldn’t stand her. I’ve never encountered anyone else that didn’t like her either. I agree, such a whiny little baby, it’s all she ever did, cry and whine, I was sooooo glad when she didn’t win! LOL

      • Yall r definitely not alone… I couldn’t and still can’t stand her.. anytime I run across one of her tweets about BB my eyes automatically roll to the back of my head lol

      • Gurl, I couldn’t take her and her first time around with that Nick guy, her blathering and blithering on and on about him and her boyfriend. Lawdy, I wanted to throttle her. It’s BB, not Days Of Our Lives bitch. Get up, play the game. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/dc8e9e3c4360213b31823b85c7d03da322b5fc325a2be3f1d063fa67bf462e01.jpg

      • LOL exactly! That’s why I HATE showmances.. you want a man, go on the bachelor ffs… This is Big Brother! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bebdf7ae1389266ac83e3d5dfe9edcf3e29019af9996c1d12272738811252ad7.gif

      • LMBO!

      • Couldn’t stomach her. She gave me acid reflux.

      • LOL

      • Me too :)

        ED was pretty generous to her though….he paid for her college education, bought her a car, and paid for her to go on a vacation…yet STILL (in BB season 13) Dani stopped talking to him for ~2 years up until season 13

      • No I did not like her

      • Hola mi amiga! Did you and the fam enjoy the Labor Day weekend?

      • Hey chica, we did! How about you, did you guys take some time off and enjoy the day?

      • Yes… we ate a little too much bbq and drank a few too many beers lol!

      • Great, that’s fantastic!! I’m so glad to hear you were able to have some downtime together!

      • It was well needed but I’m paying for it today haha

      • Oopsie, at least you had some fun, good for you, you more than deserved it chica!

      • Good to see you around, YGTRON. I’m glad you enjoyed your long weekend. :)

      • Thanks boo :) I hope you enjoyed yours as well!

      • I had a lazy day, so yes, and thank you. :D

    • Call it a case of the Tuesdays, KSJB, but I’m liking everything you’re posting today!

    • Very well said

64. ED is spot on. Worst season ever!

    • Season 15 was so much better (LMAO)

65. Thanks EvelDick great piece.
    Mob mentality is frightening, people join in on pretty much anything to fit in, in fear of becoming the next target. The more abhorrent the acts the more incentive to not make waves. Paul can goad people into trying to grate on peoples nerves but when most people break down they do not become homicidal. Now in Alice’s Restaurant, Arlo Gunthrie was arrested for breaking a pizza parlour window even though he was thrown threw it so that proves my point I believe or does it ?
    Almost time to debrief Kevin
    Is it too soon for this ? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/755fc16452607d8597cc25b2c6f282351b573f23358727c8d39d70e913855a80.jpg

    • I thought he was arrested for littering, i’ll have to listen closely when they play it on thanksgiving.

      • Yes littering as well with Sheriff Opie. ‘ There was a third possibility we had not considered. ‘ Whole movie is great. Woody Gunthrie and Pete Seegar are in it. Smell ? What Smell ? Lol
        The scene I described was with rednecks saying Arlo had greasy long hair and tossing him through the window, mob rule

      • it is a looooong song

      • Sorry you misunderstood I am talking about the MOVIE Alice’s Restaurant where the song originated, great flick seen it so many times

66. I think if Grodner wants to use former castmates she should do 2 Big Brother programs like in the UK. Do a Celebrity Big Brother with a few returning houseguests and a few d-list celebrities for a brief 30 days in January and an all new cast in the summer.

    • No. More. Former. HG’s. EVER!!!!!

      • https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cb3c501a905767d908c9c18b9c3d8afd1ccb4f5eff889c9d253846cb72d731d9.gif

67. I haven’t really been able to keep up with BB the last couple of weeks like I normally do and I’m so glad I haven’t. I am beyond disgusted by the little I have read here and there. Like I stated previously, I didn’t agree with the gang mentality with the group earlier in the season in regards to the Jody vs. the house situation but I understood it. I wasn’t really outraged bc I honestly feel Jess and Cody are horrible humans and they gave just as good as they can take it… but to isolate and f*ck with Kevin of all ppl… Kevin?! You’ve got to be kidding me.. he’s literally done nothing wrong to anyone in the house and never shuns anyone even if they are about to be evicted. He treats them like a human instead of a pariah. I hope Alex gets her @ss handed to her on finale night by Kevin’s daughters… the b*tch deserves it!

    • A big AMEN to that Alex needs to be put in her place and every where she go’s after that lol. Same wish for Paul

    • The crap that has been coming out of the feral wombat’s mouth has been inexcusable. People are bagging on Paul, how about this trick? She’s worse than all of them put together, including ED. Uggghhhh…….
      Good to see you girl!!! *mwah https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9268fede72c05f4c65839dd57804e22e7ee8e08582ffe2266df725acf105e80c.gif

      • Is that lebron james? Hilarious.

      • LOL, I have no idea, but I don’t think so.

      • Lmao… if that’s not him he’s got a doppelganger!

68. Agree 1000%. This season is ending so badly to have had such promise in the beginning! I have a chat buddy who is rooting for one of the pool toys to win this season. I think that about says it all!

69. I feel like people need to grow up and stop being so hypocritical. ED did a TON of bullying not game-related on his season. And I’ll say it again, he would not have won without America’s Player twist.

    ETA: I mean “actual” bullying…not questioning the truth of what a HG (Cody) has claimed, given that he lied about a lot of things including something as stupid as his age

    • As he mentioned. he was upfront with it all. Owned his gameplay and didn’t hide behind anyones skirt or trousers. I did not enjoy watching him humiliate Jen by dumping a drink on her head but Paul causing chaos and having everyone trash Kevin and pretending to be his friend is just as bad.

      • That’s true, he was upfront….and he also was set to be voted out of the game because of his tactics. Unlike Paul, ED was able to hide behind America’s Player (albeit unbeknownst to him).

        ETA: Paul has been eligible to be nominated for the block for several weeks now, and no one has dared try since Cody purely because of Paul’s game play.

      • Will have to rewatch season 8. Forgot about that twist!

      • I don’t think he would have won had it not been for America’s Player (Eric) and Eric was sacrificed at the altar of ED for him to win that season. Kind of sucks in retrospect, I really liked Eric, he was one of the good guys, still is.

      • I liked Eric too…I think he might had won BB without that twist. Although, to pull a “Cody,” it was kind of funny watching his face during the times that he hated ED and wanted him out, but was told by America to keep him safe/ vote for him/ campaign for him. Poor Eric lol

      • BB/AG really screwed Eric over. It’s my belief they brought in Eric to bolster ED’s game. ED was a favorite of AG, it was well known and she was going to hand him the $500,000 come hell or high water and Eric was the one to pay for that decision.

      • I didn’t know that!! (being a favorite of AG). I guess he did have a lot of connections in LA.

      • ED also got REALLLLLY lucky that Dani was such a good competitor. She saved him so many times. It’s pretty crazy, after re-watching the season, how she came in 2nd place to her dad.

      • Ok you caught me Alf…I did re-watch season 8 a few weeks ago lol (binge watched to get over turmoil-y points in this season). I forgot how much influence “AP” had until re-watching. I did root for ED to win though (both times)

      • I want to rewatch season 8 more than whatever happens with Season 19. May watch it tonight!

      • When I was feeling stressed/ missing my BB fix (due to fish/ puppy cam feeds) I would binge watch season 8, and then season 14…which other than Dan not winning is IMO one of the greatest seasons of BB)

      • It is pretty good all the way through…And even though I think ED sounds like a douche to be complaining about Paul’s game/ “bullying,” I really enjoyed watching ED do his thing. It was also pretty hilarious watching Eric (America’s Player) have a DR session, talking about wanting to get ED out, then 5 minutes later being called into the DR to do a task that favored/ saved ED. The look on his face each time was priceless.

        No victim noises from him though!

      • Jen also destroyed his cigarettes. She was by no means innocent.

      • Now that was hilarious! props to Jen

      • That stills make me laugh when I think about it. Ed was a hateful piece of cow dung during his show and still is. His option means nothing to me except he is mad cause Paul is playing a good game

      • Oh she was an obnoxious b*tch lol…but he definitely made her pay for it

70. Say what you want about Evel Dick. The guy’s a prick (and let’s not pretend he isn’t, he would be the first person to tell you that), but he’s HONEST about you. If he has a problem with you, he will walk right up to your face and tell you exactly what his problem is without mincing any words. He doesn’t do it to make others feel bad or to hurt others (even if that’s the outcome more often than not), he does it because he’s just HONEST about his problems with you, which is more than I can say about any of these houseguests.

    If he shared a house with Paul, man, Paul would have his entire world torn asunder.

    • Paul handled Cody pretty well, especially when Cody tried to get in his face and call him all sorts of non-game related names :)

      ED would be voted out this season, early on, with Paul leading the charge.

      • Yes

71. This article was better than the entire Season 19. Can’t wait to read through the comments.

    • mornin’ Alfie my boy.

      • Bows. Hello lady. Hope the day treats you well.

      • ditto

72. I totally agree with ED I only watch bits and pieces of the show and used to love after dark but cant watch all the bulling I feel so sorry for Kevin did watch him and his daughters on you tube he is so genuine. I don’t know why production allowed all the bullying and rape comments this is at a time when people are speaking out against bullying when people of all ages are bullied into committing suicide and Big Brother supports it what a shame

73. take ED with a grain of salt. he’s bitter, he fell out with the bb brand so he went rogue. hg’s still in the bb family never come out to really speak candidly, they still get fame as an ex.

    • He DID get invited back once, so I wouldn’t say he fell out of the brand. He just doesn’t mince words. And it is a generally accepted fact that production interference has increased a LOT since early Big Brother, so he’s not wrong.

      • He did, but then was asked to leave, due to his HIV status, which I don’t think he should have been removed because of that…unless you’re spreading fluids around like Matthew & Raven

      • Did production interference start in season 8? (ED’s season, when America’s Player was told to vote to keep ED, campaign for him, vote for him in F2 and sway the jury to vote for him?)

    • Agreed. He Must be doing pretty well with his podcasts. Everyone seems to be heading to that route as a moneymaker..

    • He fell out with BB?? Do elaborate, M’lady!

      • He started spilling secrets, major no no.

      • Do the houseguests sign confidentiality agreements? must have cost him some money.

      • Yes, they do. They basically sign their lives away. I don’t believe ED has ever said if BB has gone after him for what he has divulged, that part he keeps a “secret”. LOL He hasn’t really said anything that others haven’t already speculated about many times over.

      • they pulled him out his 2nd time because of an illness ,i think bb disclosed it.

      • He tested positive for HIV, that’s why they pulled him out.

      • I was so shocked when he announced that.. did you watch when he and his gf were on that therapy show on VH1?

      • I did watch the show. He’s such a jerk, I don’t understand how he gets and keeps a girlfriend. It’s a mystery to me. That woman was much too good for ED.

      • He finds them at closing time. 2AM everyone looks good!

      • He works in a bar or he used to, true story! LOL

      • He manages a bar in LA or use to.

      • Right, a very famous one. I want to say Whiskey-A-Go-Go, don’t think that’s it but one of the same caliber, very well known.

      • I don’t know the name of it. I’m not even sure he still manages it, but he did.

      • She was definitely too good for him but nothing really surprises me anymore as far as relationships go… Once I found out Mama June from that Honey Boo Boo show not only had a husband but a man on the side I realized anything is truly possible and there really is someone for everybody lol

      • Lawdy, Mama June and the side piece was a child molester who had molested a couple of her own children!!!!

      • Yuck on yuck on yuck!!!

      • Really? Too good for him? You know them well enough to make that statement?
        Who are you ? Jiminy Cricket ? I think Dick is an interesting guy…

      • Who are you? It’s my opinion, don’t like roll on by.

      • no, I haven’t seen much of him, i’m just intrigued with what he has to say about bb in general. i’m fascinated with the behind the scene’s bb. I wish more people would dish.

      • I do find it great that his daughter Dani married that good looking cast member from s8 in real life. A happy ending to part of the story.

      • Do you remember who? Here’s a list of names to choose from:
        Joe, Mike, Nick, Kail, Dustin, Eric Scott, Zach? Zach came in 3rd to Daniele’s 2nd. Both Zach and Daniele were from CA at the time.

      • it was Dom. Married a few years back. just googled Big brother Dani Dom marry.

      • Ohhhh…..I heard Jessica had gotten a phone call from production for saying some things about BB behind the scenes, but but hadn’t heard about ED doing it.

      • May be EvelDick has fallen out with Big Brother but if that was the case, why would they allow the interview with him to appear at the top of this thread?

        EvelDick played and won BB 8 while he played with daughter, Daniele.
        EvelDick played 6 days of BB 13, his daughter was also in the house. Daniele was evicted day 55. EvelDick walked out day 6 on his ‘own’ volition. ED was HIV pos by then.

    • Grain of salt or not. . . .does it devalue or discount his thoughts & assessment of Paul & this season ? Or what the game has evolved into ? Just like many long-time BB viewers have posted – – I think he’s spot on.

74. ITA with ED! We will never know what this season would have been like without Paul but I think it would have been a more level playing field and much more fair to them.

75. https://twitter.com/Hec718/status/905121633702117378

    • Love Micheala. Such a fun character. The look she gave them when evicted was priceless.

      • Love her!

      • Even if she did drink all the coffee!
        Edit: Used all the sugar in her coffee

      • LOL! But she didn’t. Didn’t Sandra set her up?

      • Sandra Diaz Big Brother Season 20. That would be a fun season

      • I liked her much better the 2nd time around. I wouldn’t mind seeing her come back again. I loved that she annoyed everyone so much! LOL

      • She is a comp beast. Was rooting for her so much in every comp. She could have been another Ozzie.

    • Someone did that hair flicking thing on BB. Why can’t I remember who it was? Anyone?

      • Davonne and the police was almost called, she assaulted Vanessa’s sister.

      • Assaulted? LOL https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/56e16f42475aee513c92e8b1df14d9d66d80cdd60128b17762673eb2c13617ec.gif

      • My thoughts exactly! She was so ridiculous!

      • The “aftermath” was pretty funny with little Vanessa running her mouth to any and everyone who would listen to her little pitiful story, she hit me with her HAIR, how dare she!!!! LOL

      • Yes! Thank you, GS. :D

      • https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/749803d1c491221e9e162bb80c0e5b1195bf5740e734a40254f38993d219f989.gif

      • Oh that is so annoying!! I have worked with females like her.

      • That had to hurt. haha
        Thanks, Capt., for going to the trouble.
        For some reason, some posts are not showing up on threads and many aren’t in my notifications either. Don’t know what is going on with that. Anyway, I just saw this. You’re absolutely terrific, I think!

    • This past Survivor contestant would have been great on BB!

76. Totally agree in this has been the worst season yet. In a world trying to address bullying this has been a season of just that, sad. With Evil Dick it was the whole house that suffered not this ganging up on one or two people with everyone else sitting back and laughing. In the past we’ve had people loose their jobs for being raciest, these people should for being a bully!!!

    • Alex is unemployed and lives at her parents house. She is so getting grounded.

77. Holy Hypocrite, Batman! lol. I honestly can’t make a true, educated statement on the whole ‘mob mentality thing” because I didn’t start watching until VERY recently. Don’t have the feeds & have only seen BBAD a couple of times. Do I think Paul has controlled what’s gone on in the house? I can see that. Is it wrong? If he instigated what “they” say he did, Yeah. Was he playing the game? Yes, BRILLIANTLY! But, I don’t believe he MADE Alex or Raven or Jason or Josh or Kevin (don’t know any of the others) do or say anything they weren’t ALREADY CAPABLE OF DOING OR SAYING BEFORE ENTERING THAT HOUSE. I’ve seen each and every one of the people I’ve mentioned say and do mean, rotten things.
    Paul could plant a seed; he could even expressly TELL someone what to do; but, if it wasn’t already innately in that person’s personality, NO ONE could make them act like they do. Alex doesn’t need anyone to ‘tell her’ to act like a ‘c***y potato head.’ She got that one covered YEARS before entering the house.
    Again, I didn’t see the whole season. People have their own free will. They will do things to impress ‘the cool kid.’ But only if they already have it IN THEM. JMO.

    • Very good Sha!..Raven for the WIN!

      • Thanks Cyril…RAVEN? Oh yeah, she needs the money for a hysterectomy; a new pacemaker; a tracheotomy; a feeding tube; new knees; new kidneys; chemo for her hypo/hyper-thyroidism; A loooong stay in a mental health facility.

      • https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a06260fea980a1e3a939bedac9c692e2a56db27a58c49da0ad26d84c3e4800f5.gif

      • Thanks my friend, with the rapier-like wit. ;)

      • Yay, Muttley !!! Does Dastardly think it’s funny also??? ;-)

      • Once the season is over, and they all see the tape. They will all blame themselves on how STUPID they are for following this small guy. From ‘pots and pans, egging them to do stupid s**t, and..oh! ‘throwing comps. hehe . and he’s not even a professional hypnotist…he’s a clothing designer. lol Some fans will blame him, but not the gamers.

      • Oh wise one, can I be a gamer? Have I passed the test this season or do I need a little more experience under my belt?

    • The peer pressure/bully thing works for kids/teens but I’m not buying it as an excuse on a nationally televised TV game show that people have viewed for years and know there is potential and probability of this type of stuff to occur. Watch the show. If you don’t like it, don’t volunteer yourself for it.

      • I can read this comment all day K…Raven for the WIN! haha

      • I told GS earlier that I thought Raven would win. We are on the same wave length, Cy. Scary, huh? lol

      • I’ve always said that you two are spooky.

      • I’m almost positive that is not meant as a compliment. I’ll take it though and spin it however I wanna.

      • Hey! It was a good thing. ‘spooky’ as in psychic-sync.

      • More like psycho-sync. haha

      • Nah…I’m the psycho one.

      • You’re too pretty, clever, intelligent, and well-spoken. No one would believe you..evah!! hehe

      • K, you’re so gracious—hey, wait a minute! LOL! No, no one would ever believe that I could snap. OMG. I’m a freak of nature. I’m so glad you know me. :D

      • Little lady, I know when you are being sarcastic. Yet, I still laugh. lol

      • Want a taco?

      • I prefer sausage, but thank you. ;)

      • Can’t fault a gal for asking. Lmbo.
        Is Cyril serious about Raven winning? I can’t ‘read him today.

      • Uh, that’s a, lmbo NO!

      • Well, that’s what I thought…but, I’m l tittle off lately, so…one never knows, do one? Thanks for clearing that up. Whew!

      • Ha ha Rock Lobster by the B-52s Yumm
        Changed my handle to my initials hello from Arthur, the avatar is a sketch I made in the mirror if you look real close. Unlike VanGogh I was able to flip it
        Jessica is going to perform in the restaurant on the Bold and the Beautiful, that’s the plan but who knows in Hollywood where a good suntan has hidden many a slow burn lol later

      • Hey! Good to see you! Nice job with the avatar….I’m jealous of your artistic prowess.
        I wasn’t watching when Jessica was on; we’ll see, though, if she really does make it to the Bold and Beautiful. Take care!

      • They have not given a date for the Jessica Graf appearance that I can find yet … the B&B casting is exceptional and they are all gorgeous here is a sneek peek of Jacqueline MacIllam Wood – Steffy – that I sketched https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d987e3f643d893d62c7be06227b3774b06bcdb7b4415955608e0ec67cb66a745.jpg

      • Why the hell not?..Raven winning should make the fans calmer..more relaxed. hi hi hi

      • We might lose our hearing, but, yea, wth?

      • And the beginning of the Raven tour. That would only be the beginning of her funding for __________ name an illness. She would then be called a “miracle”, a scholarship named after her. Next, medical professionals would want to study her. She would be a Lifetime special. Oh gosh, there would be no end to Raven.

      • She seriously offends me.

      • I was interested with her..is it inverted spine? Looked it up, and Raven’s name showed up, and also Linda Blair’ ‘The Exorcist…I read the Linda Blair…she’s telling the truth.

      • Wtf? She said that? Inverted spine?! So her coccyx is where her cervical spine should be. Riiight.

      • Yes! She needs inversion therapy, but that doesn’t work…I’ll give her a ‘spinal tap’ ha!

      • Yeah, I bet you would…and I’d bet you’d enjoy it!
        You couldn’t live with an inverted spine. She’s like the Barker in a Crazy Circus..

      • You do know she abducted by aliens and taken to a UFO lab for experimental purposes. J/K, but I’m surprised she hasn’t mention something about UFOs yet. You know she has seen one.

      • I wonder if she is related to Debbie, the All Knowing, Jackie of All Trades, America’s Top Spy, The World Renowned Scientist….

      • OMGosh! Since you said that, I see a resemblance. Cy is our resident Debbie expert. He would know. ;)

      • omg! Crazy Debbie…my fav to photoshop in Survivor.

      • NOW is the time for the picture, Cyril.

      • hahaha..crazy..nooo

      • lol..OK.

      • Isn’t she a ghost buster?

      • lol

      • I am telling you, she will be offered a reality show!

      • I could see it, that’s why I want her to go away NOW!

      • Since that other dance lady that had her own reality dance show is in jail, Raven will take her place.

      • Don’t put that out in the universe!!!

      • Too late! Ha Ha!!!

      • lol

      • The only show Raven should be offered is MTV’s True Life.. I Have Munchausen Syndrome

      • It would be very fitting!

      • Very!

      • Or Couples Therapy, Family Edition. I could see her and her mother talking about the break down of their relationship…. Raven now has a platform and shows love that kind of thing (not because they believe her but she is not all there… to use her as much as she think she is using them).

      • First you have to give her Mom a show, “My Story of Munchhausen by Proxy.”

      • Anytime I hear about her and her mom I think of that documentary on HBO, I think it is called Mommy Dearest Mommy Dead, about that Gypsy Rose chick. Crazy story, if you haven’t heard about it look it up, it’s insane!

      • Did you watch the show? There are so many parallels I see between the 2 stories, really sick stuff. I also believe that is why Paul calls Rabies Gypsy and she thinks it’s just a cute little nickname. Hahahahaha!

      • Does he really call her Gypsy?! Omg, I must have missed that lol!

      • He does, and I wondered why he was calling her that, now I know, ha ha.

      • Yeah, he doesn’t do it all the time, just every once in a while. I wish he would do it more often!

      • That is hilarious! I wonder if any of the others get why he calls her that..

      • I don’t think they do and if they do, they are hiding the fact that they do know very well. I know Mattress didn’t realize what it meant because he would call her Gypsy as well.

      • Fool! Lol… he really was useless

      • I seen it. SAD.

      • With Yodull there to be her mentor. LOL https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/709a7601f1bcfaa07c0ac50d0573d18c96a8ac812ac0972be9ed366d0e3b661d.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/26c54ada6c8ebae67185dd345714efd73113e7d3892927faf225d31f162a515c.png

      • OH!!! FDD, You know she’s really and truly sick. So are her two children. HA!

      • Right. LOL!

      • The things you do when you have money to burn…

      • Omg LMAO!!!!

      • I was go glad we were done with Yo-lemons and then we get stuck with Rabies on BB, another Munchausen storyline. Pffftt
        https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/15e54d3f60428c793fc2ff504a887e784d084ffe67c9d2964b163ca8c43712d1.gif

      • I know! Idk who’s worse.. they’re both pretty insufferable but at least YoLiar was only scamming money out of her wealthy “My Love”… Gypsy is trying to finagle regular every day ppl out of their hard earned money!

      • So true!

      • What about eating/chewing scabs? Is that true? I don’t really pay attention to her on feeds. I just read it here. She’s whack.lol

      • Cyril, go to Dick Donato’s twitter account and you will find everything you (don’t) want to know about Raven.

      • Ewww!! Lol, I don’t have feeds, I get most of my info from here too… and Twitter :)

      • Yes, it’s true. I saw both incidents in real time and repeatedly on twitter.

      • She picks things out of her butt and..(gag)…eats (heave) it.

      • https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/038cbbb1a53da7baedda3ea6289519cc5d2683e7d4a3b151743e233a09e65cde.gif

      • HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I love it! When I was first told that grotesque nastiness about her, I couldn’t eat for the entire day. That is how I felt.

      • Just the juicy ones.

      • eewww

      • go with game show, where people bet how many lies she tells in a half an hour.

      • Yes because bullies do not grow up to be adults

      • So if someone is “bullying” you and you are an adult, what would you do about it?

      • I wanna be bullied more..if I’m the adult.

      • You are killing me!!!

      • I was laughing so hard I couldn’t reply. lololol

      • I’m still laughing!!! I’m in good company I see!!

      • You are entertaining the ladies, Cy, just like old times. Love it! haha

      • I can’t wait for the answer!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/95c9d05b6879cff386f9d4cc6ec35f6f728c6020d42171fc05d9619fe84338c6.gif

      • Miss Fiddle you and your gifs are so spot on!!!

      • Awww, thank you gorgeous. Glad someone enjoys them, I have fun with it.

      • omg!..the best..Fiddle you’re like in Production’s control room.

      • Bwahahaha, they wouldn’t like me in their control room, no fish!!!

      • In BB house, pretty much same as Cody did. In real life, go on about my business as usual. In the case of my kids, as I have done before, go up to the parent in front of the school and have a conversation. Luckily the parent was mature enough to have a talk with her child right then and there. Not sure what else to say, I’m not sure what this has to do with whether or not Paul is being a bully.

      • You are the one who said, “Yes because bullies grow up to be adults”
        If Paul was a bully, so was Cody. And you say you would do the same thing Cody did. Which time?

      • Which time? The times he was being bullied. Could be Cody was also a bully, I probably missed those episodes (though I think I only missed the first episode of this season) so I can only go by what I see. Cody was involved in some fights, but Conflict is not Bullying. Paul has gone beyond just “conflict”.

      • If you feel Paul is a bully, you are entitled to your feelings and to express them. But you shouldn’t be calling one out unless you call all of them out and you know what you are talking about. That in a way is bullying, picking on one person, right? So you have a definition of bullying and I have mine. Are you a bully?

      • But I agree the others are part of the bullying. Ppl are responding to my comments about Paul instigating stuff as if I said he’s the only one doing. I said he’s inciting it. Well he’s certainly not inciting himself so must mean that other ppl are doing it too obviously. I agree, you have your definition and I have mine. If I choose to state mine here then so be it.

      • I feel sorry for children these days. They are going to need so many safe spaces because they are so weak and fragile. My advice, get stock in play doh, ponies, and art supplies. lol

      • I feel so sorry for children these days, they are not being taught the difference between conflict and bullying

      • Got your children’s safe space ready, sweetie?

      • Lol. Yep and Paul is still a bully

      • And you are still wrong. jmo

      • If that makes u feel better

      • I feel fine. :D

      • I feel like I am being bullied. lol

      • Melissa, do you watch Big Brother After Dark? I don’t have the feeds, so I watch that..it’s on basic cable. POP TV. I’ve seen Alex and Raven treat Keven like absolute Sh*t…done and said some of the meanest things I’ve ever seen another person do to anyone else. Paul didn’t tell them to do or say those things. In fact, Paul was sleeping during one of the episodes I saw.
        I’m not arguing with you; but, Paul did not instigate, in any way, shape or form how those two girls treated him. They were absolutely horrible.
        Those two wenches bullied all on their own. And that’s all I’m going to say. Have a good day.

      • One more thing…if Paul is a bully, so are Raven and Alex.

      • They will cast more bullies (their definition) in the house next season…can’t wait..

      • Melissa, I deleted the last three comments because our convo turned childish and petty. I can be sarcastic and blunt, but I try not to let things get to the point of being immature nonsense. So, we can just agree that we have different opinions about the bullying aspect of the game. You have a great evening.

      • No worries. U have a great evening too.

      • The thread is not showing all of the comments when I refreshed. But I told some troll named Hutch that I would put my comments back up. Just letting you know.

      • So calling a spade a spade is now trolling? Wow. You are the one that got low because a poster didn’t agree with you. You started ending your sentences by calling her ‘sweetie’ and bringing up her kids. I think you should rethink who you call a troll.

      • You turned childish and petty. Notice the other poster didn’t have to delete her comments…but you felt you needed to.

      • My comments are all there Troll Hutch.

      • And you are still wrong. jmo

      • Got your safe space ready for your children, sweetie?

      • Yes because bullies don’t grow up to be adults

      • I’m sure you’re judging his actions within the context of the game, which permits it, because we don’t know him outside the game. right? BB is a ‘unprincipled show..and they just renewed it…thank God!

      • You are not allowed to use common sense.

      • Yahoo!!

      • Google!!

      • Bing!!

      • That’s all I got. My expertise is fairly limited in this field. lol

      • I’m at my end too, works out well!! I could Google it but who cares! LOL

      • Oh yeah, I was speaking within context of the game. My opinion is based on what I see on the show, as I believe is everyone else’s. I love BB, even despite all this. I think Paul is smart, despite all this, but I think he is using unnecessary bullying tactics. I have said before, I think he would still be able to manipulate these ppl without the bullying. Instigating “attacks”, on other housemates is bullying regardless…

      • Melissa, come on, seriously, this is a game. Do you see a gun held to their head or a knife to their back? Is he drugging them to your knowledge? Whatever tactics he is using, it’s obviously not breaking the law or the rules of the game or he would be out of the house. He has adapted his strategy to fit the personalities of the HGs. He knows how to manipulate. He’s there to win 500K. It’s not real life. There have been 18 other seasons of BB, enough that anyone should know what to expect. If they can’t handle it, there is an exit door. Obviously the money and their 15 mins of fame is worth staying in the house. Their choice. Just like there is a button on your TV. Your choice to turn it off.

      • I don’t get it, Miss Fiddle. I’m still laughing about dumbarse ED. lol

      • You killed it Miss K, you won best comment of the day, BOOM!

      • Not hardly, but there is really no need in conversing with these people. I should have just ignored it. I seriously do feel bad for our young people who are being taught such nonsense.

      • Agreed, it’s nonsense.

      • So sorry KSJB. Didn’t know this was your feed (or your followers). I noticed you deleted the belittling comments you made to Melissa Sllew. Putting her down by calling her ‘sweetie’ in a derogatory manner and implying she lacks in parental skills by wanting to know if she already has ‘safe spaces’ ready for her kids is inappropriate. Guess that’s why the deletion. Maybe Fidle should delete her ‘BAM’ remark…I mean this is a forum for people to express their opinions about the GAME and PLAYERS, right. Nobody should be ganged up on here for their opinion.

      • Just for you, Hutch, I will put my replies back up. I hope you have your safe space ready, also, sweetie.

      • Definitely not you “sweetie” or your “cupcake.” Just because someone does not agree with you does not give you the right to put them down in order to make yourself feel bigger. Wow. Just wow. Go ahead. Call me some more names…it seems to be your standard operating procedure.

      • You feel better now, cupcake? :D
        You have a great night.

      • No worries everyone. It’s all just entertainment.

      • Since I’m ‘trolling,’ here you are again being ugly by calling other posters “these people.” Who are “these people” that you are referring to? People who come on the site to comment their opinion on BB without the fear of being belittled? Yeah, THOSE people are awful!

      • Just stating my opinion like everyone else. I’m well aware of what my options are

    • “I don’t believe he MADE Alex or Raven or Jason or Josh or Kevin.”

      Classic blame deflecting strategy.. It wasn’t my fault. My superior told me to do it. Paul may have talked about a gun but Alex fired the bullet.

      • He is still an accomplice and just as guilty as if he pulled the trigger. I have yet, to see an accomplice not charged with the crime. Only exception, is if they turn state witness against their fellow cohorts then, their charges are reduced!

      • Bingo!!

    • Exactly!! I said it in another post…..these are fully realized adults. They and they alone are responsible for how they act, how they react and how they respond and process what others tell them. If they are doing what someone else says……guess what, that’s their fault.

      • YES! This.. all of this!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/786d2c7ed88d2a1390a31b0f6cd5af3810c386a791517cab9718dc884fc31c2b.gif

      • Thanks gurl, :)

      • Like the mob, if the mob boss orders a hit on someone, do they get off scott free because these thugs of mine did it on their own? That would never hold in court. If you are the mastermind of a crime, you are just as guilty. Ever hear of the word accomplice? If you were driving the car when they made the hit, are you innocent since, you did not pull the trigger? Paul is cowardly because he should be man enough to do his own dirty work! The fact that he got others to actually, do it, does not exonerate him!

      • In court it doesn’t..in BB (the game) he wins 500K

    • Well said! Though I lost a lot respect for Paul, you are absolutely correct, especially when comes to Alex. Josh knows what he is doing is wrong and yet he feels compel to follow Paul’s orders, then feels bad/CRY about his actions.

      Something is seriously wrong with Alex.

      • Something is definitely wrong with Alex! I would give anything to be in the audience finale night and hit her with the Stassi Special… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6971d1ea37ef1904716c0b47107d2b216f12047deaad42a3a28ee8c719b357ff.gif

      • Stassi is such a violent thug! LOL

      • She is truly what she is so obsessed with… a serial killer lol

      • If there is any houseguests who deserves the Stassi Special, it would be Alex and Raven. They deserve two smacks on both cheeks! A left and right smack! Kristen was also, violent in the Vanderpump Rules so, karma! Atleast, with Vanderpump Rules they confront people and tell it to their faces! It takes more courage to say it face to face knowing the other person might just punch you!

      • Ita about both points you made lol! Kritter Aka Kristen got what she had coming to her… I just honestly dont understand how they are all still friends with each other.. they’re all horrible ppl with the exception of the Toms and Ariana imo.

      • Look at it this way, if they ceased being friends, who are they going to cast? There would be nobody left in the cast! Practically everyone sleeps with everyone. Matthew and Raven, Cody and Jessica would have been right at home! I think Kristen has slept with all the guys in that group. Stassi atleast, stuck to her boyfriend at the time, Jax. Tom cheated on Kristen with Ariana when they were together. Ariana probably is only the good one among the women. Tom Sandoval who married Katie is probably the best one of the guys in that group although, he made out with a woman in Las Vegas while, still with Katie.

      • took me a while to realize that`s Kristen getting slapped LOL

      • Looks like she slapped her first. Then pointed. Wow

    • Let the church say Amen! How can anyone say with a straight face that someone made a full grown adult behave a certain way?! Sorry but if this is how they act then they have always been a sh*tty person… has nothing to do with Paul!

    • He did not “make” them do it. He incited / instigated. Being an adult does not mean a person is automatically protected from peer pressure. Yes, most of these ppl seem spineless and gullible but that does not excuse Paul from exploiting that. Seems he can already easily manipulate these ppl and make it to F2, without the bullying tactics. There’s a difference between conflict and bullying. Stop making excuses for bullying ppl.

      • https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4f6a2c856bf68a1c3ad0c72195f3614f54064e2b4771fbdab47ffa6a6f9f18b7.gif

      • Good one and well deserved. lol

      • I thought so, thanks Miss K! :)

      • YW, the beautiful Miss Fiddle!

      • https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f74f28b80be9465e567192967600851dd87811516eff7009d3b2a63850ffc1ee.gif

        Come on… Paul can tell them to do anything till he’s blue in the face, doesn’t mean they have to listen. It’s all part of being an adult, you haveto take responsibility for your own words and actions. They are the ones giving Paul this “power”. It all goes back to that saying our momma’s used to tell us… if your friends all jump off a bridge you gunna jump too?!

      • OMG, I love this gif, it’s a new one to me!! *adds to library with permission of course :)

      • Girl, you know you ain’t even gotta ask!

      • 💋💋

      • Well, whether I jump or don’t jump, the person telling me to jump for no reason clearly has issues. That’s my point with Paul. For someone reason everyone thinks I’m taking away blame from the fools following him. I’m not.

      • I don’t think Paul is some innocent little lamb.. he’s disappointed me alot this year. However, I just don’t agree with ppl saying this is all Paul’s fault and none of the mean things that have been done or said wouldn’t be going on if Paul wasn’t in there. If he was playing with a bunch of 6 year olds, yes I would understand, but these are adults… peer pressure or not no one could force me to act out of character. If I got caught up in the moment and acted like a b*tch it’s only bc I really can be a b*tch sometimes lol. I guess my whole point is that Paul would never be this evil mastermind if ppl didn’t blindly follow him.
        We just see things differently I guess… agree to disagree :)

      • The person telling you to jump may have issues, you’re right, I agree, but the person that jumped, should have been in the mental ward, He has bigger issues.

      • I agree. That still does not erase the issues of the person that would try to get someone to jump for no reason in the first place. I am very intrigued that ppl think bullying is ok because it’s a game, because 500K is at stake, because they are adults, because they knowingly went on the show, because the show is unprincipled, because the show has no set rules about this type of behaviour, etc, etc. Wow. This is a case study in itself.

      • Big Brother is a corrupt show. You think this is the right show for you? 19 seasons, they’re not changing their format. Maybe CBS will listen to you if you write your concern.

      • I don’t remember commenting about the show itself. I was just commenting on why I don’t think Paul’s game play is “great”, like some ppl have said. Reason I don’t think it’s great is I find he resorted to bullying tactics and I find that unnecessary. I have no concern about changing format. Just an opinion on Paul.

      • Oh good!..Let’s enjoy the show. lol No offence but are you going to watch the show till the end? Still enjoying it?..who knows Raven might take this one. lol j/k..btw, I don’t like you to be in the Jury if I’m playing.

      • Lol. I love BB. I’m going to watch til the end and probably complain til the end :). At this point I don’t even really care who wins tho. I give up on all of them.

      • It’s your prerogative not to like him, and be disgusted with him, but everything you claimed he did is perfectly legal while playing the game of Big Brother…..Raven for the WIN!

      • I think it’s obvious that you have abandoned your Baby Meatball for Raging Raven….but where is my goat? :(

      • haha..you don’t think they believe me I’m rooting for Raven? do you?..nah..just having fun.

      • I told Sha you were. lol

      • oh no.. lol

      • She’s lying.

      • lol..tattle tell

      • Of course it’s my prerogative. Just stating my opinion like everyone else here :)

      • I said, if Paul instigated what they did, it was wrong—but, NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING THEY AREN’T ALREADY INNATELY CAPABLE OF DOING. I also said, I didn’t see the whole ” mob mentality thing.” Paul played them and the game brilliantly.

      • Saying it louder doesn’t excuse the fact that it’s bullying. No need to re-emphasize. Got your point the first time. I disagree that’s all. For the record, I actually think Paul is playing a smart game, much as I don’t like him. But he’s going over the top and he is inciting mob attacks. That’s bullying. The other ppl yes are dumb for following, but that’s no excuse.

      • https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a27c6edf6dfbb381f9a0a3542e6df42ef5ef9feb136094506adb09e293811d21.gif

      • Passive aggressive much?

      • Lol. Didn’t mean to scream. This computer doesn’t have the capability to put words in bold print. I didn’t start watching the show until last Sunday, so I didn’t see what everyone is talking about when they say “mob mentality.” So I don’t know what the bullying is that you’re talking about.
        Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maximus culpa.

      • There hasn’t been any bullying going on. If these people can’t hack it, they can walk out the door, just like Meghan did. It’s utter nonsense imo. :)

      • And this is why so many people need safe spaces, bless their hearts.

      • I love it!!!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4e1d5be226fd98132366c7423219430b1758622c478e47372bf9c4fd32513539.gif

      • Are you southern too girl? I love a good “Well bless your heart” lol

      • Yes, ma’am, and damn proud of it. I take my gun every where I go.

      • Lol Amen! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c12fa8cf3d6d270a6c68533738984f3e39a51f79f0a8e5013bae3fd19db3089d.gif

      • Hallelujah and pass the gravy!

      • I love how some of the neighborhoods around me that got flooded real bad have all put up homemade signs up and down the streets saying “You Loot, We WILL Shoot” lol. I love my fellow Texans.. even though a few ppl want to take advantage of this horrible situation and makes me happy to see our community come together to look out for each other!

      • And they are serious. It’s good to know neighbors will protect neighbors. Nothing like the sound of neighbors target shooting, keeping those skills honed. lol

      • Absolutely! I’m so glad my dad taught me how to use our shotgun when I young. You never know when you might need to protect yourself or your loved ones!

      • Mine did the same, gal.

      • Watching a news story yesterday from the Houston area. A few Women around 55 or bit older..All the things from the house in the front yard watching looters circling around the neighborhood. Put all kinds of signs around. Looters will be shot, added a few bullet holes in one of the signs for emphasis. Much respect to Women who can handle their sht!

      • I’m not wearing Depends yet, Alfie. :D

      • Took me a minute. You are good. To anyone confused. Take the last part of my sentence and look at what she said. Now laugh.

      • You (Texan’s) have become everyday heroes, doing what needs to be done, neighbor taking care of neighbor, strangers reaching out a lending hand. People being good and decent human beings. It’s wonderful to watch and observe. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b62c46b672d4afa236eafd9bc5ae5ce352390ee6523ececfacb6e3488509f42e.gif

      • It’s honestly one of the most humbling things I’ve ever witnessed first hand. I volunteered at the convention center back in 05 when we had the evacuees from Katrina here and this is a totally different experience.. I guess it’s easy to help others when you are doing well but to see ppl helping each other out during what is probably the most horrific moment of their own life.. makes me so proud to be a Texan!

      • God blessed Texas
        With His own hand
        Brought down angels from the promised land

      • You go on with your bad self girl, I always knew you were good peeps!

      • Lol! Shhh, don’t tell anyone, I don’t want my “cold hearted b*tch” image to be tainted ;)

      • We will keep each others secrets! :)

      • Pretends to not hear. Looks at KSJB cleaning her shotgun.

      • lololol Cleaning bow and arrows as we speak!

      • Hahaha! Now that literally made me LOL!

      • Teehee

      • Hahaha, love it!!!!

79. The 1st season I watched was EvelDick’s. My wife watched BB from day 1 but I worked nights and I pretty much dislike reality TV. But I enjoyed the strategy of BB when introduced to it that season.

    There are two points of this interview. For one, I loathe the twists in BB. I’d like to see none of these powers and little extras added to the game. I absolutely hate someone coming back into the game after eviction. It’s unfair to get two shots at the game when people worked to get you out the 1st time. The only way it would acceptable to me is if it was announced right off the bat that the first 4 or 5 evicted get to battle back. Then HGs can approach evictions accordingly. Get rid of the twists and bring back Have Not comps (or mandatory that the first four players eliminated at HOH comps are Have Nots. That could help with HGs not throwing them).

    The other point is game play. I honestly don’t get upset with any style of play as long as it gets you far. I saw Dick’s savagery win, Andy’s rat style win, Derrick’s precision, Dan’s social skills, Rachel’s transformation, Steve’s “floating”, etc. There’s a ton of different ways to win. While I don’t particularly like Paul, I don’t get upset with his game this year. If the other HGs are willing to do your dirty work for you … let them. If they are push overs … use it to your advantage. Sure, I prefer to have a game with sportsmanship but it isn’t a requirement to win. You’d think that poor sportsmanship would hurt with the jury, but that’s not always the case. And sometimes creating that huge target on your back carries you further along.

    And just because Paul is lapping the field this season doesn’t mean he will win.

    • me too. Season 8 was my first season and Danielle was my favorite.

80. He is totally spot on..

81. ED would have teabagged Paul and all his sheep.

    • HA!!!

      • ‘teabagged’ is a funny word.

82. I totally agree. ED you are spot on… Never thought I’d actually stop watching BB but this week just did it for me… Maybe next season.

    • Survivor in 22 days!

      • Yay!!!! And no returning players, YAY!

      • Right?! Ya-hoo!

      • Alf ??? Where are you ???

        You have a near full-body pict of you about 4 hours earlier posted on “Live Feeds Highlights Monday) thread with green background. You look good. But reason for E.D. post you may not like or maybe so??
        Check about 4 1/2 hours in for *now*.

        (E.D. is not EvelDick) who posted your portrait.

      • Hi Kelly. Thanks for letting me know.
        That’s okay. I’m just glad they blurred out my private parts with the full body scan. No one needs to see that! have a great day.

      • No blurs, just cut off at the, um, maybe knees or calves or ankles?? Not sure on you :-)

      • HUH? What did I miss?

      • Someone said Alf looks like Paul. Will leave it to others to decide. Just glad my Alien Life Form is blurred out. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d6eefb7add87897f34a1703d7e583959a4e8b6444a31d7265292957c7e5bcf74.jpg

      • No. That’s an insult to Alf.

      • You’re so kind. Thank you.

      • You’re welcome. I can be kind—most of the time. Until I lose my mind and act like a stupid, crazy woman. Luckily my friends know me and are quick to understand. :)

      • Alf is purty!

      • You’re sweet and beautiful. Thank you.

      • Thank you kind sir! :)

      • I have never watched a full season of Survivor, only a episode here and there. But is there any production manipulation in the game? is it a clean game?

      • When the cast aways are starving and someone throws the rice in the water or buries the cooking tools. Production will set up a comp and give them food. Not good tv watching young people starving and complaining about being hungry.

      • I sometimes think some of the cast members are led to where the idols are hidden. I am sure of it.

      • That is an annoying part of the current seasons. Hope they do away with someone finding the same idol 3 times.

      • Like Tai. How many idols did he find? A lot.

      • Do you really think that was fixed, Ron?

83. Worst season ever…I love big brother but sick of watching Paul lead everyone around like puppets.

84. Great comments by ED, he is always right on. I have feared for a while now that Big Brother is going to be cancelled. If the kind of garbage that has been going on keeps happening then it will. I too love Big Brother and don’t want to see it cancelled.

85. Of all the people in the entire world to interview about bullying, gang mentality, and personal attacks…

86. Agree with everything he said. I hope they go back to the way it was next season and No vets.

    • BUT that may be their (BB/prod) big plan for the 20th. Or some special combination of . . . whatever.

      • No…no vets…please, NO VETS! How many times are they going to jump that shark?

      • So tempted but will not post an Arthur Fonzarelli gif.

      • do it do it
        Fonzie! Fonzie! Fonzie!

      • Sorry. You’ll have to ask Mrs. C.

      • ha ha ha ha ha ha ha he he he he he he he
        AAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY !!!!!!!

      • Who is Mrs. C?

      • Mrs. Cunningham. Ritchie’s mom.

      • Mrs. Cunningham from “Happy Days.” Rickie’s mom. AKA Opie, Ron Howard.
        Alf was talking about showing a gif of Fonzie “jumping the shark.” On “Happy Days,” the Cunninghams were out to California and Fonzie was there, also. Seemed the series might be slowing down so they had Fonzie ‘jump the sharks’ while water skiing.

        Nowadays, TV series try to use a scene or a twist to perk up the series, like when “The Brady Bunch” added cousin Oliver, to add life into the series.

        jump the shark
        1. informal (of a television series or movie) reach a point at which far-fetched events are included merely for the sake of novelty, indicative of a decline in quality.

        Sorry – TMI – too much information :-)

      • Well….some of the best seasons have been because they brought back vets. Some of the terrible seasons didn’t have any vets.

      • Agree. But the last year was AWFUL.

    • They should fire Allison grodner and hire Evel Dick in her place

      • Not sure if families could watch the CBS broadcasts anymore with Evel in charge. Might have to move the drinking and lap dance competitions to HBO.

87. Unless one of these players grows a brain soon Paul is going to win. Only been watching a episode every couple weeks cause this season is sooooo terrible! How can returning players win two seasons in a row!

    • He didn’t win last season…Nicole did

      • Well, he did win $50,000!

      • I know I meant if Paul wins then a vet will have won 2 seasons in a row. Bleh boring show neways

88. well to pin this all on paul is crap / he is playing the game, and as far as mob mentality, they all can say NO but they haven’t and as far as being sheep, baaaaaaa baaaaaa who cares thats the name of the game get people to do what ya want…. evildick is just as bad , so if paul explains why he did it ,, its all going to be ok… because evil never said sorry he just explained why he did it..Love Big Brother and always will..

    • Well said!! and I agree

    • The name of the game is not to get ppl to do what you want by ganging up on other house mates for no reason.

89. Hopefully for season 20, they do a BB Rewind. They rewind and go back to original way BB started.

    I miss the big round table with them turning keys to see if they were nominated. I miss the multiple alliances and the crazy alliance names. I wish the HGs didn’t know what was coming next. I liked when HGs voted for themselves and not with the house (and no one knew how the other was going to vote). No Production influence (or not as much). Just good old BB.

    • That sounds like something to look forward to!

    • no vets

    • I’d love to see that, too.

    • include food comps
      HGs have to earn what they eat, not ‘cereal’ it down like Matt. Last # I saw on him was 735 bowls, but that was week or more ago.

    • Oh, I miss the keys!! I miss people keeping their mouths shut and not warning someone when a BD is coming. I miss when HG’s didn’t use the words, “At the end of the day,” or “I don’t want to get blood on my hands.”
      But please, I’m begging anyone who will listen (in my best Faye Dunaway voice):
      “No more past house guests EVER!!!”

      • https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8f1dc476ac71c8accb6ebbb9061412d8760224534e723bf428fe6543c62b8f53.gif

      • Lol! Thanks!

90. Totally agree with E D. He actually voices a lot of fans opinions. But what he didn’t say is that Grodner should be fired. She’s stuck in a loop and unwilling to see any way other than her own. The catch 22 is that the ratings give her a false sense of success.

91. EvelDick, my man. “I feel like Paul poisoned this cast.” Says it all. 100% correct.

    • I am not big fan, but this season has been the worse. This was more like a cult and Paul is the leader. Josh said, this is a game. No it is not a game it is people getting personal. They are doing what Paul says. Josh could not work with anybody because they are afraid he would run and tell Paul.

92. Evel Dick was spot on and his tweets on Raven are insanely funny. I know some people do not like him, but I think he is a breath of fresh air!

    • Can you imagine Evel Dick in the house with Raven?

      • No!

      • I would love that

      • I would love to see Evel Dick come back for the 20th season, but not Raven.

      • EvelDick can’t and has said numerous times, he WON’T come back.
        Guess I’ll just have to watch BB 6 to see him in action, again. :-)

      • He might change his mind… money talks. :-)

      • EvelDick walked out of season 13 after 6 days while playing again with daughter D. EvelDick is pos HIV and either he walked out on his own. A chart says ED walked. There are other HG that say expelled so a walk is on their own decision. (or before prod)

      • Season 8 :)

93. I agree 10000000000000000% with everything he said.

94. What is Dick saying about telling producers about doing DR? to do only 1 DR session a day? I`m just confused.

95. This year’s Halloween face masks will be: Trump, Raven, Jason, Paul…

96. I love Evel’s raw truth about this awful season… he definitely doesn’t pu$$y-foot around it either.

97. So funner, ED: “I’d like to see the show go back to playing with…no twists, no DR or producer manipulation”

    Soooo, you’re saying you wish you would have played during a season where there was no America’s Player to keep you in the game and be forced to vote for you at the end?

    • Yes, it seems ED has a selective memory.

    • Hahaha, guaranteed, Dickhead never would have won without help from AG/Production.

    • Or playing with a family member, estranged or otherwise?

      • Absolutely…that was the best guise for having a family member; by them saying they are estranged, they can pretend like they are not working together.

        And no father/ daughter duo is going to go Nakomis on each other

98. Agree with everyone. Would love to see a back to basics show with an entirely new cast. This year really is painful to watch. People are sabotaging themselves to help Paul. Why would anyone throw a comp this late in the season?!

99. Didn’t Paul enter the game only because Kevin took the $25K?

    • Yep

    • Bit unfair of production. 25k is alot of money and they where 100% certain someone would take the bait,
      Equal to a group at WeighWatchers pretending that box of chocolate donuts isn’t sitting on that table.

      • Nice comparison.
        I had no idea that was how Paul got into the house!! Wow. That was truly a game changer.

    • It’s a choice, but designed for him to stay longer. In their mind, he’s their ‘star, I’m sure he got paid more than the rest of the HG’s…I’d say, they’re satisfied,..he delivered.

100. Great interview with ED! If only the people running the show would realize they’re killing off a show that means a lot to people. I was looking forward to watching all access this year, but it’s so bad… I just switch to Netflix and read the tweets.
     I wish it would go back to a game where people compete.
     This season where everything is orchestrated by one player and production gimmicks just kills the game. Congrats to Paul for running it single-handedly but the level of cruelty and stupidity exhibited by this group of people is mind numbing. It’s like if he says it three times it becomes true. All they do is lap up what he says and then claim they’re brilliant… it’s downright painful.

     I am truly disappointed with this season.

101. Still laughing at C**ty potatohead

102. Agree 150% with ED. I have watched every season beginning with BB1 all those years ago and love BB for all the same reasons ED noted. I even applied for BB10 because Season 8 was so awesome. But I despise this season. It’s the absolute worst. You failed us this time, BB and that’s all there is to it. Please take us back to the basics as ED suggested. Give us genuine people who respect the game enough to actually play it vs sheep who don’t. Give us people who aren’t plastic – people who wake up in the morning with no makeup and bedhead. Give us people who dress for comfort and not for show. Give us a house without a “theme.” Give us basic furniture that doesn’t distract and take away unitards that do. Give us the house keys and nomination wheel back but keep the veto ceremonies. And the returning players. For heavens sakes – save the spots in the house for new players. Give us houseguests who have actual conversations about meaningful topics (BB1). Take us back, BB or your days in the sun will fade. I’m begging you, BB. Please.

     • Amen, Sister! BB20 would be fantastic if it was entitled : Back to Basics! Now THAT would be a great season … and as you and ED said, give us HGs who WANT to play this game! I loved the food comps (someone mentioned earlier) where everyone worked together to get the best eats for the whole group. And I’ve missed everything else you mentioned, too!

     • I’m loving this season. And BB season 8 had a significant amount of production’s influence, with America’s Player and putting a family member in the house (his daughter Dani).

       If people are watching BB now, in record numbers – apparently 50% of people are religiously hate-watching it lol – and if BB season 15 didn’t turn off viewers, I don’t see it losing any popularity.

103. Kevin (to Jason): “I think for OUR age, compared to the other people in this house, we did pretty well.”

     (1) Kevin, you’re 2 decades older than Jason
     (2) Jason is the strongest competitor in the house (other than Paul), and Kevin hasn’t won anything other the button-pushing comp that brought Paul back into the house

     Kevvie is so delusional….

     • He makes me itch.

104. He’s an Evel Dick, but he speaks the truth. Loved his season.

105. A back to basics season! Now that I would pay to see! Lets hoping AG is listening.

106. I totally agree! Production is trying to hand this win to Paul! Worst season ever!

107. I agree 100%! I canceled my live feeds after Mark was evicted. I haven’t watched the show since then. I was disgusted by the gang mentality of bullying. What they did to Cody was atrocious. All the personal attacks and lying about people is not game play.

     Paul gets no points for game play because his approach is pathetic. The petsonal attacks against a persons military service, rape, and the lies against people were appalling, and all orchestrated by Paul. Josh and Paul should have been kicked out. The fact hes had so many advantages took all fairness out of the game.

     Production is obviously feeding Paul info or they allowed Josh to receive a coded letter. My guess is they told Paul info and said tp have Josh pretend it was info from his parents, because Paul has told everyone that the public thinks they’re the bullies, and he instructed everyone to spend weeks of talking about all the bullying that Jess, Cody & Mark did DURING BBAD. It was all an attempt by Big Brother to justify the bullying & to try to convince the public that those 3 were the real bullies. Production was getting heat for allowing the bullying & massive demands to have Josh/Paul removed as a result. Thats when I stopped watching. The manipulation makes me sick.

     And how did you allow Raven on the show? Its not fair that a player is protected against being a HAVE NOT and she’s a pathological liar. Paul is as well, as he lies constantly about things that have nothing to do with the game.

     I haven’t missed a show since day 1 and I’ve always watched the live feeds. This is the first season I cancelled them and stopped watching the show. I will vote for AFP just to send a message to Big Brother and the cast, that we can’t stand the way this game was played. Im voting for Cody because production screwed him over during his first HoH and they way the house treated him, just because he was smart enough to know that Paul was the puppet master.

     My final disgust with Paul was him telling the other houseguests that he was alone all season last year, playing by himself, when he was carried the entire game by Victor and Paulie. Then he lied and said he WON THE AFP last year but they gave it to Victor since he was 2nd place. Worst season and worst cast ever.

108. I canceled my feeds, blah blah, bullying, blah, blah, blah……. BORING

     • I love me some Eduardo… so fine lol https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/54a92905246cf092748246f59bde770491b0b6a7ef7a93b997bcde86ec478d42.gif

       • Mmmhmmm https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2759a5e5e537d02f285e1086731ed30a0d2203cfcf48dc5a35d1946f61e711f6.gif

       • His character in that movie was so horrible but he’s never looked as good as he did in it.. lawd have mercy!

       • I know, I was going to put up another gif, but it showed his swastika tattoo, didn’t want to offend anyone with that kind of thing.

       • https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3d3c82b6b4575cdf550eb50cba3571c2072c6270e02a86083dea4a2b6e78604a.gif

     • What movie is that? loved him in Red Dragon.

       • I believe it was Fight Club. I never saw Red Dragon, is it worth the time?

       • Absolutely yes yes yes! Love that movie! It is the prequel to silence of the lambs.

       • Edward plays the guy who put Hannibal in his cage.

       • Ahh, I see. Silence of the Lambs scared me to death.

       • Might have to give it a shot one of these days, thanks!

     • I’m one of the person that cancel the feed. I do it every years at a certain point. At start theirs so many people and conversation and it help understanding those players more. But then it become a bit boring. And if something huge happens, you have it on internet.

       I did felt bad with some of this year house fights. The worse to me was the josh/Mark one where Mark removed the pots/pans from him. What made ma uncomfortable was mostly everyone one around watching in silence. But some where so stupid that I couldn’t stop laughing. The raven woof woof get the gold palm. And Matt last week, I couldn’t stop laughing.

       • I started feeds on 16 and I cancelled both 16 and 17 early, couldn’t watch anymore of it. I quit watching 15 altogether. That was the worse season ever, not even worth my time.

     • I meant to ask you earlier.. what do you think about them throwing every single comp? I’m so annoyed by it.. takes all the fun out of watching imo… thoughts?

       • Chile, I’m so annoyed, you don’t even know, just like you. DR/Production knows full well going into these comps they are going to throw them, why not throw a monkey wrench in their plans? It isn’t that hard to do.

       • That’s about the only thing I agree with ED about… I miss old school BB! The last few years have been bad but this season takes the cake.. they aren’t even playing any semblance of the game I’ve loved since the beginning. There needs to some major overhauling done behind the scenes starting with casting!

       • That’s what was so great about BBOTT, it went back to old school ways. Low production comps, players who wanted to win, it was a lot of fun, turned pretty nasty but at least everyone was there to win the money and not “jury house”. I wish they would do another season.

       • See, I didn’t get to watch that one :( that was the one you have to pay for like the feeds right? I’ve heard a lot of people saying good things about it! Why can’t they just do that for the regular season grrrrr! The stooges over at CBS obviously don’t know or care about what the ppl want.

       • I really thought they would take some of the elements they re-employed on BBOTT and bring them back to the summer season. I don’t get it. People are constantly complaining about the key wheel, over interference, mixing newbies with alums, the list goes on and on. Why doesn’t BB get it. Take it back to old school and it would be on for another 20 years. Doesn’t seem that complicated.

       • Ita! This is a classic competition game that can never get boring if you stay true to the original format. They think they are making it more exciting with all the dumb twist and interference but all they are doing is turning true BB fans off. I don’t normally keep up with show ratings but have you heard if ratings have gone down or pretty much stayed the same the last couple of years?

       • I started watching BB in second half of 14, but after BBOTT I watched 1-13. I don’t miss some of the super basics, like the small house, the key wheel or the food comps. I enjoy the higher level tech visuals and more elaborate comps. I also accept that as society changes, BB casts will reflect those changes, for better or worse.
         What I can’t stand though is how overengineered the game itself has become. There’s nothing organic left, and I think we see HG responding to that. Whether they realize it or not, they seem to be worrying more about how to counter the next production ‘twist’ than in outplaying each other.
         Oh and while I’m at it, the winter season with that idiot Adam as the winner was the worst ever. Pure awefulness imo.

       • I see what you’re saying… I don’t mind the bigger house, more complex comps and ditching the key wheel.. I would like to see them get rid of have/have nots and go back to food comps, make em work for their stuff. The only thing I meant by overhauling casting is instead of pulling people basically from central casting, stick to choosing ppl who actually audition for the show. People who love the show and actually want to play, not ppl who only want to make it to jury! I honestly think if they fixed their casting all the other twists and crap really wouldn’t matter as much… imo anyways :)

       • Maybe both? If they eliminated some of these overdone twists AND casted HG who were mature and strong enough to play game, we could have the best of both worlds. Totally agree that there are seasons when most of these HG would never have made it past week 2, let alone F5.

       • That would make a world of difference in the game ita! Sadly, I don’t think those in charge of the game over at CBS care much what the fans want or what would improve the game as long as it’s bringing in good ratings.. all about the almighty dollar unfortunately :(

       • You got that right and stop casting for age and looks

       • What they should do and is a simple fix is adopt Survivor’s rules on immunity challenge. All tribal members get to play for immunity each and every week. No one sits down for the week like in Big Brother’s HOH. Give the HOH who could be targeted the next week the chance to fight to stay in the game! If he can win 5 straight or 6 straight HOHs, can you imagine the impact on the game play? Everyone has to play to win then! No deliberately losing to an alliance member so as not to get blood on one’s hands! Even if one is alone, he has a chance to last deep in the game and maybe, even win it!

       • I’ve never watched Survivor before (I know, I know lol) but that sounds like a good idea! I wouldn’t be mad if they had something like that… anything has got to be an improvement for the game at this point!

109. Big brother should put the full DR sessions online every day that will shut people up about production interference.

     • Or go to live DR like on OTT.

110. Remove the golden veto going back to silver veto and strategy will increase. Why try so hard to stay off the block if you have a 2nd chance to save your self. If its 1 and done unless SOMEONE ELSE saves you we will see a less calm atmosphere.

     • I forgot about the silver veto. Did the nominees get to play for it or just everyone else?

       • everyone played for the veto back in 3 and 4 then in 5 and 6 the nominees and hoh chose the other players then due to the flaw of allowing easy back doors they made it random in season 7-present

     • HOH SHOULD PUT ONLY 1 person up, and the house vote for the second nominee.

111. Matthew Boyer and Branden, may l ask, what is the point of commenting rules when they are not followed? It’s every bit as bad/annoying as BB letting Matt get away with breaking all the Have Not rules. There are almost 500 comments on this post and more than 20 percent have NOTHING to do with BB and add NO value to the average reader. They’re a huge waste of time. I love the comments section, but am increasingly annoyed by the personal comments and comments made about other shows. Those comments are against your stated rules and should be deleted IMO. Or revise the rules accordingly.

       • Thanks for your respect, and right back at you.

       • I agree Deb! Miss Fiddle and KSJB think they run this forum. Seriously!! I have been following this site all season and never posted until today because I am fed up with the snotty attitudes of several of the regular posters. Just because they post here (and other BB sites) does not mean they are more knowledgeable, smart, witty or better than any other person that posts. The people who post should be allowed to post with out snide and rude retaliation.

       • You say your fed up with the snotty attitudes of several of the regular posters…and end with snide and rude. That’s alot of anger and i hope you find a yoga class or enjoy an ice cream cone. Something to lower the blood pressure. I personally find KSJB and Miss Fiddle delightful and look forward to reading their insightful comments. It is a joy.
         The biggest fans tend to have the most to say. Will leave you with the immortal words of Elvis Costello.
         I ask myself
         Is all hope lost?
         Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?
         And each time I feel like this inside,
         There’s one thing I wanna know:
         What’s so funny ’bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
         What’s so funny ’bout peace love & understanding?

     • Deb, why don’t you just skip those sections? It’s not a big deal.

       • I really enjoy the relevant comments. In order to skip those sections, as you suggest, l still have to at least scan them. So many of us were upset at BB letting Matt break their rules. How is this any different? Why have those rules if they mean nothing to the participants or to the site operators?

       • You cannot compare bb rules to a blog conversation. Bb is a game for 500k. Here is a social friendly conversation place. No one is paid to write here. As you said , only 1/4 of the comments are going a bit off topic. No big deal. I’ve been to other chat room where it’s so much worst.

       • Btw, use the little arrow on the side and by pass those sections. As easy as that.

       • I didn’t know about that arrow! Thanks, I’ll try it.

     • I’ve been on BBN for years, and it’s been like this..no big deal. Matt doesn’t necessarily police this site, but if you think a comment is innaproriate, you can flag it, it will be dealt with..This is still the best site for BB..

     • Agreed but this is a social thing and hopefully BB will not punish us for it. Wait. They have cleared for BB20 … Never mind
       Jessica is going to perform at Il Giardino with cast members of the Bold and Beautiful, trying to at least throw something in on-topic
       What does B&Bs own Rena Sofer have to say ? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d9149ee327920dae4936576888ce9211e74a40a64cd5016a27d2b145b139e319.jpg

       • B&B is the only soap l watch! Love love love Rena Sofer!

     • To be compared to boring, listless Matt..that is what hurts the most. I have much to think about. My apologies to you; Deb in SF.

       • What is the meaning of Is? So many questions.

         https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bd1699c147fb9fe1fe5429d952f0ef387f6fd776ce6a9127114687fc14c6ec7e.gif

       • Oh no, don’t bring Bill into this!!

       • Being compared to Matt really makes one contemplate changes in ones life. I don’t even enjoy cereal! I have changed my ways. The old me would post a gif of Mr Bill saying Oh No! and going over a cliff. No more of that.

       • Let’s all take a break and smoke a good cigar.;)
         My computer is so slow on this thread. I’m having issues with posting and had to reload and lost many comments. So, I’m off.It was fun!

       • Later MIss K. Have a lovely evening! 💋

       • Convenient. Especially when your rude comments were deleted.

       • What is convenient? My comments are all present and accounted for.

       • What did you do again!!!! Lol.

       • Having fun! lol

       • Be carful. We’re getting off topic on the police topic post. We will get punishment.

       • The pa trolls are out tonight for sure, Nope! haha

       • Lol. And I miss Keith. Where is he?

       • Who’s Keith? Do you mean Mickey?

       • The one that needs a proof!! Lol. Who ever he is.

       • Oh!! Good heavens. How could I forget? lol I haven’t seen him since. He might be the idiot trolling me right now.

       • So now I’m an idiot because I told you I thought your post to another member was uncalled for. Why name calling?? Really??

       • I know who are you talking about..I showed him the proof though. lol

       • Did you? I’ll go check back!! It was a really funny thing. Lol.

       • Did you see the pic Nope? ‘wish bone; sticking out from her feet..ha! He said..’I don’t even know what this is” lol

       • I did. But.. he’s a crazy one. K reminded me how I love to be entertained with non sense. I had my fun!! But if you can find the doc name or better, the X-ray !!! lol.

       • Nope! He wants the doctor name and the hospital. You didn’t gave him the proof. lol. Phenomenal !

       • Yes Alf, Fiddle, KSJB…you three have finally made me see the error of my ways. I pinky promise, that if you give me a friendship bracelet, I’ll agree with everything you say and never have my own opinions. I will even agree that KSJB belittling another poster for their opinions and bringing up their children WAS delightful and just having fun!
         Tata for now BBN mob…oops…I mean Alf, Fiddle and KSJB! Hope to talk to you again tomorrow!

       • And Hutch is blocked in 3 2 1. Such a convenient little button. poof. they disappear!

       • Lol. Hutch thank you for your support. FYI, the comments about a safe space for my kids was not over my head. My children are patented just fine. I simply responded with lol because I don’t take these things seriously and I’m hoping you’re not either. I think we can agree to let it rest. Thx

       • I understand Melissa, but it bothers me that bullying and mob mentality have been a hot topic all season for BB fans, yet here we find the same exact thing in a forum where we should be able to share our opinions and views in a fun environment. No one should be called names or have their parenting called into question for simply disagreeing with others. I’m an idiot, a troll, a cupcake, etc for not agreeing with them? Not cool. I hope you have a great night free, free of bullying and mob mentality.

       • Who did call your parenting ? And seriuously, why would you take this to heart? No one here can know how good or bad you are. It’s nothing to be angree at.

       • Did you sleep well in your safe space, Hutchy, sweetie? lol Hey, you make sure to join us more often. But the superman entrance doesn’t work. (singing)”Here I come to save the day”lmbo. Maybe you will improve your trolling skills. One suggestion, get a real account and stop lurking around, then people might take you more serious. Yes, trolls mostly end up ignored, which I’m sure you would perceive as bullying, bless your heart. But there are a few posters who will play along with your game if you look hard enough. Good luck with your strategy, Hutch, or whoever you turn up as next time. Watch Paul, he has good game strategy. :D

       • Nope..You’re a delight as well!

       • You’re delightful. I look forward to reading your comments. Would be a boring forum otherwise…I Might as well go to the Downton Abby forum if that was the case.

       • Gotta admit when I’m wrong, you know, Alfie, I’m human, and you are sweet as always. :)

       • You’re wonderful, K.
         “You is kind. You is sweet. You is important.” From one of my fav movies, “The Help.”
         And like. in that movie, I am sometimes like the pie Minny made: full of poop. You know what I mean. But you is always forgiving.

112. SPOT ON!

113. Yes, I agree with ED. However, his words are not some amazing revelation. Plenty of people have been saying all along they think the season would have been more fun to watch without Paul.

     • The first five HGs that got out were the lucky ones lol
       Changing topic to respond to BB rule #5 from yesterday
       If any former HGs have a relationship after the show then
       In theory rule #5 may have been broken
       It seems unenforceable

       • You know, I began to wonder if those rules were written for Season 1 which was a completely different, with no HOH and eviction by fan vote.

114. And Paul the master at manipulating BULLYING should NEVER be invited to any anti bullying events!

115. I completely agree with everything ED has said in this interview, and it’s what I’ve been saying all along. These people are a joke, and hopefully this hasn’t tarnished BB for the future. I’ve also been saying that BB needs to be brought back to old school. Even down to the old ways with Slop. This season has been a dictatorship, with hints of Romper Room.

116. ED is spot on with everything. Hmmm, fire Grodner and let ED take run BB
     .

117. I can NOT stand ED…he was the worst of the worst in my opinion. Nothing he says matters to me. He should have never been picked for Big Brother and after he was he should have been ousted as soon as he poured the glass of tea on Jen. Everything after that was horrendous and I stopped watching that season. If he were to ever somehow get his aids riddled body back on there I won’t watch that season either. Big Brother should be ashamed to ever even talk about him much less interview for anything. Just my opinion.

     • “AIDS riddles body”!? Your ignorance is showing. He is HIV positive. Nice of you to bring up his diagnosis. That would get you kicked off of twitter

       • Why? It’s not private information. He has discussed his dx publicly many times. I actually disagree with the poster’s sentiments, but don’t think ED’s health status should be subjected to censorship.

       • Not sensorship. But when it’s use to degrade someone it’s low. And that’s good he’s open about it. It brings awareness.

       • Ok, thanks. I was responding to a more general issue, not that particular post. After re-reading, I agree. No need for that.

       • HIV positive is not the same as AIDS. Stamp out ignorance!

       • And why do I care about twitter? Or what you think either?? Like I said this is my opinion and I don’t care who agrees with it or who doesn’t.

     • That’s pretty low from you. You dislike him, it’s your right. But don’t bring his health situation in it.

     • That’s wrong on many levels! You could have at least left the “aids riddled body” out of the comment. As much as I dislike Raven, and call out her lies, I still wouldn’t bash her for what she TRULLY has. It’s obvious that she has the pacemaker, and most likely has SOMETHING wrong, aside from psychological, but using someone’s REAL health issues to bash them is low. And HIV + is not AIDS. Education nullifies ignorance. I will give you the benefit of doubt though, because I know when you are completely disgusted with someone that you loathe, it’s innate to reach for the low blow, and say things out of personal sentiments, that we normally wouldn’t say. Hope you have a wonderful week!

       • Nice post, Chaseo731. “Education Nullifies Ignorance,” says it all.

       • Thank you. It’s what society lacks nowadays. Unfortunately.

       • YW. It’s disheartening, that after (at least) 20-something years of knowing the facts of HIV/AIDS, there are still those who are so ignorant. Keep spreading the message, my friend. Hope you’re enjoying this season of BB!

       • What is “so wrong on many levels” about what I said?? Whether he has HIV or aids…it is very connected. No, I am not ignorant of the difference. Truth is truth and he does have it. Yes, I loathe this person for many reasons and yes, OMG I mentioned he has aids (hiv…whatever)….so I am not a politically correct person and I do not apologize for that. I am not bashing him for what he “has” or for his “real” health issues as you say. It is for what he is and stands for that I do not like. I just speak what I feel is true. And I have the right to that as my opinion.

       • 👍👍

118. I totally agree with him. I have watched BB since season 1 and this is the first year when I have felt I wasted my money on the feeds. People are being hateful and the whole Paul show is beyond old. I guess each year production must feel like they have to up the anty, but, this has been a pitiful year. I have gotten to the point where when I hear Raven or Paul speak, I just shut off the feeds or mute it.

     • I started muting those two ages ago! I don’t watch the episodes anymore, but when I did, I would record and fast forward + mute ANYTHING with Raven in it. Then I would FF through Paul and Raven’s DR sessions. And from the very beginning, on eviction night, when Raven would address Julie in the DR room, “HI JULIE” (with her disgusting, fake self), I would have to fast forward because I just wanted to punch her through the TV! Haha (I’m not an advocate for violence or hitting females. Just Raven)

119. I do wish production would stop sending vets back in to play and wish there was less interference from production.

     • AMEN!!!

120. MR. DICK YOU SPOKE REAL TRUTH…TEAM JODY…AFP CODY!!!!..KEVIN WON HIS $25.000..AND I DON’T LIKE THE WAY HIS OLD ASS (SAME AGE AS MYSELF..LOL) WENT AND TOLD PAUL ABOUT CODY’;S DAUGHTER…WHAT WAS HE TO GAIN FROM THAT?…DEAD AS WRONG..I LOST RESPECT RIGHT THEN FOR KEVIN..

     • He was probably just grasping at straws at this point to stay in

121. I think he is spot on with everything he said. I was thinking about this today, the most memorable seasons and winners for me are from years ago.

     The way they do things now I don’t like at all. I miss some of the old comps like the food comps.
     I have watched from the start and never missed an episode but I am very disappointed in the direction they have taken. The focus now is on shock value, throwing old players in, stirring things up in the DR and interfering with the game to get the outcome they want instead of letting the show just play out naturally.

     • Alison Grodner has all but Ruined BB, a game that we all “loved.”

122. I just read something hilarious. Raven said she runs a mile in 6:20. And she does 5k in 18-20. Whaoahahahaha. So funny. (Sorry deb, I’m off topic. )

     • https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fbbb8d5a64deaf67a6efe35a376354fe20f4fb710d1deb207ec5962e9032569e.gif
       LOL! Seriously, I don’t have feeds so idk, but does anyone ever call her out on her lies to her face? I don’t think I could have lasted this long without saying something!

       • I don’t get it. It seems no one never confronted her. I was reading kicker and today all she does is up one everything. Xmast get test for Brest cancer every year, so raven does it every 6 months. Then she ran faster then all athletes. She’s incredible. I’m looking forward for someone addressing it.

       • Omg, I know someone just like that (minus the munchausen syndrome) … I couldn’t imagine having to be locked in a house for a few months with them. As rude and mean as these HG can get you would think someone would have snapped and said something to her by now.

       • Josh was so funny at the cook out last night! He said he’s used to it because he’s got about 20 Ravens in his family and they have to all take turns babysitting them at family gatherings :)

       • Josh is one of the meanest people in that house. Talk about bullies.

       • They will when Paul tells them to take her done :-)

       • They all believe that we like Raven and don’t want to look bad for calling out the “sick, dying girl”. Jason was saying something about her lies and calling her out and Alex, like always, shut him down. She told him that America would hate them if they were mean to the “sick” girl! Smh… No, we hate them (I HATE the word hate) because they are spiteful, petty and downright mean! I wish they really knew how we felt about Princess Hypochondriac! They would feel comfortable enough to tear her a new rectum, and as vindictive and spiteful it would be, I would still love it! (I know that’s wrong, but it makes me mad when someone manipulates my emotions for sympathy when they are lying. Plus she just not a good person!)

     • She said she came in 7th place in a marathon for breast cancer. Wouldn’t that be easy to verify?

       • Maybe she was running with ladies that where under chemo. Who knows. Nothing she say is true.

       • She said it was in her age group, maybe only like 7-8 people were in her age group? I am no runner, I signed up for a 10k for MS in high school because my teacher was promoting it. I “ran” with my BF, most people were walking, my BF and I got 1st and 2nd in our age group. I actually ran the last maybe 100 yards to beat my friend and get 1st. I was even on the local news. I would never brag I won a race, or an any sort of runner. The few times I have told the story it was because in ran in those LA gear Paula Abdul sneakers and hurt my feet and tell my kids and their friends don’t buy sneakers because of ads, buy quality sneakers or you could hurt your feet.

     • Highly doubt that right now, if she were plucked out of the BB house, she would run a 6:20.

       I ran cross-country in high school, and the top varsity girl times were around 6:30. For the 5K, the female winner of the State meet would run it in about 18 minutes. Varsity guys tended to run a mile in around 5 minutes, and complete the 5K in 15-17 minutes.

     • No problem with that comment, Nope! It’s about BB!

123. 5k is around 3 miles, so 3 times 6 is 18…hhmmm

     • Surprisingly she at least knew that.

124. Ok so all u big Paul fans out there IF Paul wins (which he will) probably with theses HG’s, I won’t call it a big win or a deserved win. I’d call it a immaturity win cause that was he’s game play all season. If Kevin would be my father and been disrespected by these HG’s orchestrated by Paul, I’d be pissed as all he** ! Kevin can’t even ask a question without Paul telling him “no more questions”, seriously ? Having Alex throw away his slop so he had no food to eat, u call that strategy ppl, I call it cruelty. Kevin got mad that time b/c Josh got him mad on Paul’s having him do so. Egging the pots & pans incendant on Mark & Cody & Jessica again on Paul instructions. Trying to get these ppl to fight to get evicted u call good game play ! The reason is he needed these ppl out cause he knew he had no chance of winning with them still in the game. BUT going to these low levels of game play just shows what a bad player he really is and couldn’t have won any other way

     • Paul didn’t have Alex throw away the slop, she did that on her own; Paul had actually MADE that slop FOR Kevin. Alex hid the slop in the other fridge.

       And Kevin has a huge mouth, so Paul can’t give him any information.

       • Ok my bad for the slop incident, I didn’t remember that (lol) …he doesn’t give Kevin info b/c Kevin will realize Paul is lying to him & just about everyone else in the house

       • And Kevin has a big mouth lol :)

         I think Kevin was trying to play big brother like the way he approaches his life and whatever it is that he does for a living. By trying to maintain good connections with EVERYone in the house, giving them tidbits of information, etc. But he didn’t strategize very well, and his attitude towards younger people also hindered his social game.

     • It’s not a matter of being a big Paul fan. It’s a matter of NO ONE, not a single other one of them, is playing. What are we supposed to do with that? Applaud Raven’s outstanding ability to lie? Girl can’t even get a good lie off the ground. She sucks at lying like she sucks at Big Brother. Applaud Matt’s impeccable cereal eating technique and housekeeping skills? No one on the planet outside of Raven ought to sit on chair Matt’s just vacated until it’s first been hosed down with Lysol and spermacides. Women who come into the house looking first and foremost for a summertime hook up? The men only too happy to oblige? There is NO ONE in that house to root for, to applaud, to cheer or to wish well. There is only counting down the days to the end of this farce and looking forward to better seasons ahead.

125. Amen!

126. ED doesn’t lie……sincerely

127. BBN does good work…ty smile , so see

128. Erectile Dysfunction says it like it is!

129. First time ever agreed with ED

130. I think everyone who is a true big brother fan agrees…giving lil Paul 3wks.of safety at the beginning is just absurd, was not fair…plus wimpy Paul is a coward, you could see the fear in his eyes when Cody confronted him and called him out…, he wanted Josh to do the pots and pans thing on Jessica and Cody because he would be too scared to ever do that on his own…he didn’t like that Cody and Jessica saw thru the lil underwear boy Paul…,this season has been so predictable and boring with non players who are scared to make any moves or decisions for themselves…can’t wait until they get out and see what fools they were …hope Cody wins AFP…..the guy put in 10yrs of military service for our country…and they bashed him…bringing Paul back truly backfired for Big Brother…we fans want to see game playing…not the rigged Paul show we got stuck this season.

     • Paul didn’t seem scared at all, more surprised that Cody would snap like the immature sociopath he showed himself to be, and especially threatening violence over a GAME move. Glad Paul got him out of the house after hijiacking the alliance (“Bros and Babes”) that Cody originally built.

       • Cody was in the marines so, unless you have been to war, our military has been put on a lot of stress and some of them do snap! That is what is wrong when you instigate someone to be violent so that, they get thrown out of a game? You need to get your head examined if you instigate violence then, say, look this guy is about to get violent!

       • Paul wasn’t inciting violence when Cody and Jessica were in Paul’s room after he put the two of them on the block. He was calmly talking to Cody, and when Jessica started to raise her voice, Paul politely told her to lower her voice. Then Cody got ballistic.

         To your point, you’re right – everyone has their own trigger, and I can only imagine what that would be like after living through war. However, there was no inciting of violence by Paul in that moment. I think it was the next day that the inciting happened, and to Cody’s credit he remained calm then.

         Also, I agree with the last part of your statement, not provoking someone and then being surprised when they get violent. Funnier the way that you put it though (I lol’d) “oh look that guy is getting violent!”

       • I respect him for being in the military…but, he is/was on a “game show” He knew what he was getting into, as he was a fan of BB. He should not have applied and should not have accepted if he was going to act the way he did and try to intimidate people the way he did…and the way Jess looked and spoke down to people was too much…no game play for them…again,this is my opinion.

       • AGREED Patti! Weird that all of the “bully” commotion has been directed at the HGs that probably have been bullied the most in their lives, and not at the ones (Jessica and Cody) who seem like jerks in real life. Jessica even moreso than Cody. Cody just seems like an unhinged sociopath. He had such unintentionally hilarious DRs. Laughing now remembering the robot-like noises BB gave him everytime he moved his eyes/ head.

         Josh has been annoying at times, but you can tell he has a good heart. I think Xmas and Alex do too….them yelling comes across like a bullied kid trying to finally stand up for themselves. Jessica sounded like an experienced b*tch. “Can you even spelllllll drought?”

       • How about not putting someone with clear antisocial tendencies and a hair trigger temper in a social game? If you watch Cody’s first interview with Jeff, it was clear he didn’t belong there.

       • Thank you!

       • You are so right Meerkat. He doesn’t belong in BB. Maybe Survivor..

       • He would probably do better, but no hiding in the HOH room with your new gf for days on end lol

       • I KNOW right?? Like where did this dude come from/ who OK’d him being in the house?? He couldn’t make it onto season 15 (according to him), so production had him in their back pocket to bring into a season where he can stand out as a polarizing HG.

         I’m curious to know how BB decides to cast the HGs…they knew someone would take the $25k to bring Paul back in. So they plan on having a male HG who is the opposite of Paul and hates him (his words), and then a bunch of people who aren’t strategic players. What’s also interesting is that Alex came into the house not liking Paul, and now is one of his closest allies/ supporters. I wonder if BB planned on having Alex and a couple other HGs as opposition to Paul, but didn’t count on Paul mentally working them over.

       • Yeah, I’ve been wondering if they have a predominate house profile in mind for each season, i.e. alpha males, beta personalities, nerds’, stereotypical females, etc. I have my suspicions about this year’s cast, but Paul has clearly figured them out. :)

       • I think it also helped that Paul was able to fit in with the “cool kids” as well as the “outcasts.”

       • Very true..he’s got skills

       • Especially when Cody did not want to be part of the conversation to begin with, but Paul insisted he join them. Everybody seems to forget that part.

       • Cody’s head should have been examined thoroughly. The house/game is a ‘pressure cooker. He shouldn’t have been allowed to play the game,

       • That’s ridiculous! So I guess Josh, Mark, Meghan, Matt, Raven… should not have been allowed to play the game? They blew their lids, why are they different?

       • No, I’m addressing this on what the poster said, that whoever instigated violence need to get his head examined. (Paul) I could say same thing about Cody. I like Meerkat’s answer below, if you wanna check. They don’t really need to be examined. lol

     • “lil underwear boy” was a funny comment though :)

     • I’ve watched since Season 1, and I love Paul and his game play…sorry!

131. He has everything spot on and sadly Big Brother is not what it used to be ~ from the diversity to letting the chips fly ~ I loved ED

132. 150% on the nose correct .. Glad to have EvelDick’s opinion … He knows what he’s talkin about .. And I couldn’t agree more ..

     • Agreed!

133. I really feel bad for Kevin.

134. Yep.

135. EvelDick nailed it on all accounts. He called out Paul for his below-the-belt style of playing, called out the producers for rigging the game, and called out Paul’s sheeple for loving the very entity who week after week shows that HE is the key person to not trust in this game. The “Big Brother” in this game, as Orwell used the term in his book titled 1984, has been Paul. Read the last 4 chilling words in 1984 and ask yourself it those words do not precisely describe how nearly all of the house guests have felt about Paul.

     • Pretty impressive game play by Paul. I wonder if that admiration will carry over into the jury house, when it comes to votes.

       • I really think jury house sees it like it is. I remember Jessica saying to Cody she would vote for Paul. And every one in their up to now agree he’s the one playing it. He will get the vote if he’s in F2.

       • They will. They’re all super fans and would do the right thing. Vote for the best gamer. Imagine if you let the fans vote? ..omg!

       • What do you means,fans will votes for Paul to win? Or will vote for … raven?

       • If you let the fans vote. like Australian version. Big possibility Paul wont win. Fans are emotional…The players are super fan of the game, (not bitter) so they would vote for whoever is the best gamer.

       • And Paul played (is playing still) the best game

       • https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b2de797c038e4011514fd2481c3cbfaf1dd29c6e7a136ef1913f90f4e3ecf6be.jpg

       • Damn it, Cyril! My stomach hurts.

       • I think Paul’s best bet – to ward off bitter jury votes – is to take Josh with him to F2. I’d rather him go with Xmas (I think their friendship/ chemistry is cute, and she seems even more loyal than Josh at this point).

         Can you imagine Cody’s stank face when he realized Josh was in F2 with Paul? LOLOLOL

       • He will have a robot pissed face. All will be in the eye.

       • Oh – also, I think the most significant jury management will be with Alex and Jason, if she ever catches wind of Paul plotting against their F3 (fake) alliance.

         If Josh flips his vote and votes out Kevin, Paul needs to cut his tie with Josh (not letting him know, of course), and reinforce his alliance with Jason. Jason seems to be actually really loyal to Paul at this point. Alex really conditioned him/ wore him down whenever he used to talk about whether to stick with and trust Paul.

       • Honestly josh won’t do it either he’s smart and know it will play against him or he’s just blind.

         But double eviction will be interesting.

         I really dislike alex and hope she goes. But this evection can change the game.

       • My prelim thoughts….
         Cody: ??? said he would vote for Paul at the end
         Mark: Paul
         Elena: Paul (she’s not mad at Paul and likes to think she’s rational)
         Matt: Paul
         Raven: Paul
         Jason: Paul – IF he never finds out Paul betrayed him
         Alex: Paul – will probably still vote for Paul, even if she finds out
         Kevin: ??? Xmas if she’s there, otherwise Paul??
         Josh: Xmas
         Xmas: Paul

         What do you think??

       • Nailed it

       • Matt woul vot for raven in f2,
         Mark, if raven in f2 will depend of Elena. I don’t know. Alex is a bitter jealous, if she feels she’d benn play enough knows. So Paul against anyone other then raven. Or maybe alex, will get a unanimous vote.

       • I think admiration is much too strong of a word to describe Paul’s game play. Who else could they possibly vote for except Paul?

       • I agree. But it’s not really voting for Paul; it’s more like voting against everyone else.

       • Exactly.

136. I hate these villains because of what makes them villains. You look at Vanessa (BB17), she was a villain because of her gameplay, hypocrisy at times, but not because she intentionally sought out to hurt people. But Paul, Alex, Jason, Josh, and Christmas are being mean to people without purpose other than to be mean and hurtful. I respect Vanessa because of how she was a villain, and other people who were villains due to gameplay (like Dr. Will, Russel from survivor), but not these people.

     • In Vanessa’s case, it was her stupid green hat. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0ca5b0e99cbc1309244b86728a9a5ecefabf46a30b02360c1a10a2525e742b2e.gif

       • Yeah, the hat is not becoming.

137. One of the worst winners in BB history. Was saved by America’s player.

     • A lot of people – ED himself included – seem to forget that little detail.

       Lol that season sucked for Eric, being forced to play against his own game (times when he had to campaign and vote for ED to stay/ win). At least he got some money out of it.

138. I call bullshit!! You would have been out of this game if it was for the production rigged/America’s choice they had Eric Stein do. In fact, both you & Dsni would have been gone.

139. Evel Dick is 100% Correct!!! Bring back OLD SCHOOL BIG BROTHER, and get Rid of ALLISON GRODNER, she has Ruined BB!!!

140. ED is right about the perks given to Paul. Go back, the first temp 25 grand, in most games that is third place, IN BB it is 500grand 50 so 25 would be like a third place win, they knew only a fool would not take it, It made sure Paul came back, then Paul is a vet and a fan fav. so of course he get the temptation, three weeks free, No brainer, they knew he had a 95 percent chance to get it,
     Paul can not compare himself to anyone previous ,
     And ED is also right about the game play, their is none. only Paul is allowed to play, Then we had production bring back Christmas, no wonder the house guest gave up. A player who can not compete in some of the comps, And in veto comps when she is picked and can not compete , she sits there and takes a spot from someone who could, What is that all about,
     IF we could go back and get some of the old school comps and make the house not so comfortable and let the people play and not have bad scripts for ratings , it would be good,
     When NIc, won last year , I loved it, it was so break it off hard, that it made me laugh, It would be priceless if Paul makes it to final two and he does not make it , and they vote for whoever he sits next too even if it is Raven, That would make this season worth every penny, And end it with what seems to the theme of this year no game play and no sense

141. When is the next article coming out?? I guess today has been a little slow in the house….And doesn’t sound like much game talk.

142. I did not like Evil Dick, but on this season I totally agree with what he saying. Worst season EVER!!!

     • Watch season 15 :)

       • Season 15 was a bad season but for different reasons.
         There were racist peoplethat season along with a bunch of losers but, this season is by far the very worst season.

       • Agree to disagree, beautiful Tina :)

143. 100% agree with ED. Allison Grodner has ****ed up our game. And we will never see it go back to it’s original and fair nature. This is why I like BBUK (even though I haven’t watched it in years). It’s fair, production doesn’t manipulate the game for specific players, they don’t do the b.s. edits in D.R. and the UK fans are more into it than American ones. They actually boo. And somebody needs to tell Julie to stop asking HGs why they didn’t campaign more to stay in the house. Horrible show for years. I watched every single year until BB 14. That was the first season I ever skipped. Then we had racist-filled 15 and I stopped watching that and skipping season 16. Unbareable to watch.

     • Why skip BB14?? That was a pretty good season (Dan’s 2nd time). 15 was TERRIBLE, 16 had its moments.

       Have you tried BB Canada?

       • My bad, I wrote that on my mobile. I did watch 14. That’s with Ian and the “Quack Pack” getting out Mike and Danielle trusting Dan to keep her “man” Shane. Not a fan of Dan. His first season BB10 was the first boring season of BB I’ve ever experienced. I stopped watching BB in the middle of 15 due to the racism/hate of the cast. I didn’t watch 16 (although I heard it was boring). 17 I also skipped. 18 is the first time I’ve ever subscribed to feeds and I watched everything in that season. And 19, I keep up with Youtube videos and Twitter posts like from ED.

         I watched several clips of BB Canada like a few weeks ago, and it seems tame. How was it for you?

       • HA! Season 10 is one of the seasons that I love the outcome, but wouldn’t watch again because it was pretty boring (no one else says that). When I picture the season, I just remember Dan wearing red and trying to lay low. Season 14 was good though…although it did lead to a bitter jury.

         BB Canada is good…a LOT like BB here, except more light-hearted,and some fun twists like certain players being secretly asked to complete a mission, and if they successfully complete it, the whole house gets a reward (dinner, movie, cocktail party, etc).

         You definitely don’t see the same fights that we see here, and the HGs are competitive, but non-confrontational. Season 1 was really good (I’m just now getting caught up on the other seasons on Youtube). Season 1 also had one of the craziest outcomes I’ve seen on BB.

       • Season 1 was so raw and natural. Same with season 2. And they didn’t need that bullshit dramatic music or manipulation of gameplay/sterilized editing of DR sessions to make it fun and entertaining.

       • That’s like when BB had America’s Player, and s/he was brought into the DR and asked to complete a mission without letting any of the other HGs in on what was happening. Those were fun to watch.

       • I live in Vancouver so, obviously I get BBC. It’s the best hey!?
         Love it!! They still have their stupid twists, and some of them have been really bad but aside from that, it is a great game, the house is super nice, it’s been super entertaining, always a great cast etc. please please please BBC DO NOT become scripted and manipulated!

       • OMG, nothing is as awesome as Marsha!!

       • How cannot you love marsha the moose!!

       • I was very unhappy with bbcan when they got that competition of shaving hair with the 2 brothers (with no hair style) and the girls with long hairs and Tim. It seems like it was rigged.

         But season 1 and 5 where the best. Very good big brother game.

       • Yeah, there have been some very stupid twists and twists I have not agreed with at all. I think it was season 2? & Kevin Martin was evicted due to a STUPID twist that gave him no chance at fighting for his life in the game. I think it was him. (I don’t know, to watch big brother) LOL
         so yeah I definitely agree that there have been some stupid twists and likely manipulation on BBC as well but nearly as bad and nearly as obvious as it has been the season and recent seasons.

     • Yes, Allison has screwed up BB, hopefully she will be fired! And I hope it will become the game it once was.

144. What he said!! Exactly!!

     • LOL no doubt!

145. He said Nicole sucks!! Thank you evel dick!

146. Even Raven thinks BB 19 sux. She swears on her pace-maker.

     https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e37fd0a0669b0c768ca73f3b5b6f44d1733e7581d787c5a0942eeaeffce33daa.png

     • Classy little thing, isn’t she? She must be such an inspiration to her dance students.

       • You took the words right out of my mouth, Mariana. Especially for a “Southern Belle.” She should hang out with the twins from Paradise.

       • I can’t imagine too many moms and dads are still allowing their children to attend her dance studios! I wouldn’t want my daughters minds corrupted by a psychotic con artist! Creepy

       • Since most of everything she said are lies. Does she really have studios. Does she really teach danse? Maybe yes. But not to the extendvshes saying.

       • Ha ha true! That’s funny because I never even doubted her owning the 2 dance studios. She got me there LOL

     • Iconic moment

147. What I am so tired of is, how these alliances take over the game and don’t give the other house guests a chance to really play the game. It’s the same season after season. One big alliance forms and pretty much controls the game. Why not make it more interesting next year. Let the HOH nominate one house guest for eviction, then let America nominate the second house guest. Then if Americas choice wins the Veto, their second choice goes on the block. That way it won’t matter whose alliance you are a part of. It will pretty much depend on your social game with the other house guests. Just a suggestion.

     • Very true – but think about how also, these big alliances create game-long enemies early on…Cody FORMED the “Babes and Bros” alliance, and then blew up his own game and had that alliance hijacked by Paul in week 2. And then the alliance quietly formed into a bunch of mini alliances/ showmances.

       Agreed, the most boring part of BB is when people form the huge alliances in the first few weeks. Most props to Alex, since she was targeted early on, never got into a showmance, and got blood on her hands to get ahead in the game.

       • The only reason Paul hijacked that alliance is because BB gave him safety for 3 consecutive weeks. Without it, he very easily could have been out in week 2.

       • BUT…think about this…the odds were against Paul. Everyone in that 8 person alliance could have easily bided their time until Paul was vulnerable. Not to mentioned, Alex initially didn’t like Paul and wanted him out…She could have stuck to that, but decided to align with him, and even defended him to her ride or die Jason…Paul was on the block almost every week last year, and talked/ got himself out of the situation. I think he would have talked himself out of getting nominated even in week 2 :)

       • That’s because it’s tradition to “get the vet” as soon as the vet enters the game. In seasons when there have been both newbies and vets the newbies have formed an instant alliance with a single goal – to remove all the vets from the game. But this season, Paul was just in there too long. Despite attempts to remove him, CBS had him firmly planted there for enough time for him to grow roots. Now, way too late, the HGs are beginning to realize those roots belong to a weed (ever see Little Shop of Horrors”?), not a helpful houseplant.

       • Is “Little Shop of Horrors” a show?? Sounds good :) And yeah, since the typical thing is to get rid of vets early, there had to be some kind of reprieve for Paul as the only vet to either make it or break it. I’ll say, I think Alex was pivotal since she came into the game saying she didn’t like Paul and is a strong competitor…then turns around and even way past the 3 week mark is hard core allying with Paul.

       • It’s a Broadway musical about a sweet little plant that just asks to be fed occasionally. Winds up eating everything in sight. LOL
         Yep. People have said Alex might have been either brought in or told by production that it is her job this season to protect Paul and, in exchange for her loyalty to him, she will get a second chance on another season. She’s even said she doesn’t want or plan to win BB19 (this is a practice run); she’d like to come back another time to show what she’s learned during 19. I try to think that’s all BS. But maybe it isn’t. Anyway … https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/693c664e8d235a1099d3970b955d11874e3dc45d421e6b3297f0511959a582b7.jpg

       • LOL, now I get the reference to Paul! :)

     • By the way, great idea…I feel like that has been done…maybe season 15/ 16? Either way, I like the idea.

       • I just want to see the underdogs have a chance and, not get targeted right from the start. Or used as someone’s puppet like this season.

     • Liked Mr. Eveldecks suggestion, just let it be a competition between the players, they keep adding rules like in Animal Farm or the Constitution and it makes everything too complicated, it is easier to follow cricket than BB

148. Is Paul trying to make them think he’s not perfect by telling everyone that this week is “definitely” not a double E?

     • They will still think Paul is perfect, if he is not right ( he is not ) they will say he planned it that way or something who can possibly second guess this group. But they will still think Paul is a pretty practically perfect person, seems like their ‘ minds ‘ are made up

       • Let’s blame this season on Dominique not voting for Paul last year lol. You had ONE job!!! He would have won, wouldn’t have had the blow back of not winning, wouldn’t have been brought back this year, wouldn’t have everyone (minus me) bashing him and this season.

         What’s funny is that, after last year’s disappointment of Paul not winning, I said to myself “at least Paul won’t be in the house again, so I won’t have to feel so attached to a player and get my hopes up again”….AND THEN OF COURSE HE COMES BACK IN!

         I’m not complaining, but I’ve never seen a guy so obviously control the entire game start to finish. Derrick controlled his game, but super on the DL. No one knew – except Nicole figuring it out, then Derrick sending her home the next week.

         So…chicken or the egg….is Paul that good, OR are these players that bad? Keep in mind, Alex didn’t like him and wanted him out in the beginning. Jason questioned Paul for the first 3rd of the season, Xmas wasn’t trusting Paul 100% until like 2 weeks ago.

       • It was Da Vonne lol, but I agree with what you said :)

       • Sorry!! thank you for pointing that out. I’m super tired (too much wine and sex late last night lol).

       • Oh, so I see you attended the BB barbecue, too, huh?

       • LMAO!!!

         ETA: Grace, let’s be friends :)

       • Let’s do it!!!

       • Hilarious!!!!!!!

       • Well good for you !

       • it was “first time” sex too lol (new relationship)

       • Sweet .. BB is my best relationship right now, but that us because I am allergic to boolsheet ! Is there anyone out thetre that is not a self centered manipulative so and so . but I’ m not bitter lol thank goodness for Bud and Doritos

       • lmao….actually…I think I like BB more than the person I’m seeing (shhh!!!)

         Totally agree with you, but I’ll just switch that last part out for red wine and blue corn chips with hot salsa

       • I am French and Italian so I am down with the wine. The paisans I knew only drank this dark red wine, almost sandy, the white wine was for the hoity toities up north and that green salsa all over south Texas yeah we good !

       • I’ll vote for the egg; the players are that bad.

       • Ha Ha, so true!

       • Interesting take on last year. That three week grace period was questionable, someone compared it to Paul getting a head start in a footrace. Svengali was better but Paul is close. Thought the showmances would talk between themselves but Paul convinced them it would be in their own interest not to … that is just brilliance there. I do believe this boy could sell refrigerators to Eskimos

       • But think about it this way…Paul came into the game with a handicap (ONLY vet, finished 2nd, and an America fan favorite at the time). So…It’s kind of like that runner with no legs running on those metal contraptions. “Not fair!” “Faster than everyone else!” But….he also doesn’t have real legs.

         Btw, blanking out on his name right now, but the guy I’m talking about is a huge POS, and glad he’s getting jail time.

       • You are not exactly narrowing this down for me LMAO

       • Alright, I stopped being lazy and used the Google lol…Oscar Pistorius :)

         VERY handsome guy, born with a condition requiring his legs to be amputated as a boy, great athlete, competed in some kind of major running meet and was winning, then the officials deemed it wasn’t fair.

         Then, the golden boy of S. Africa murders his gf in the middle of the night on Valentine’s Day, claiming he thought she was an intruder (she was staying the night with him, and had been shot through a locked bathroom door, with her cell phone and tennis shoes on).

         Initial judge cleared him of the charges (basically) but then he was re-tried.

       • Got it. later thanks for chatting maybe next year BB20 will be better ! thinking this week might be bottom and we can get to look up a little, fingers crossed

       • Allegedly killed her. He’s still defending this. I met this guy and loved him instantaneous. I can not beleive he did that on purpose.

       • You MET him?? Wow…Yeah, the whole situation is crazy. There are arguments on both sides. How did you meet him?

       • I lived in South Africa for 2 years. My house was in the same development as his in Pretoria. I met him often at the local stores. I once had a chat with him about his running. He explained that he wasn’t eligible to regular Olympic because of his artificial legs.

       • That’s so cool you lived there! Well, the whole situation is lose-lose for him.
         Katt Williams did have a funny joke about him (before the whole murder thing went down).

       • Ah yes. That would be Oscar Pistorius. Kinda sorta shot his girlfriend through the bathroom door, killing her. He said it was an accident, so that makes it OK. Right?

       • https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/679492a49d88285bf96470cae2496d95a285eb561cb20cee963fe14e2a9235fc.jpg

       • Roid rage, this guy had so many chemicals in him, he was a giant hot mess, still is if he is still alive

       • weren’t there FOUR OTHER VOTES last year besides the D one???
         (Da Von, Dominique, Larry, Darryl or Darryl) (who thot a woman should win)

       • I believe that a woman can do just as well as a man
         And just as poorly lol

       • Oh sh*t – you’re right, I meant DaVonne. I’m tired!!

         And there were other votes, you’re right. Natalie was also an idiot with her vote “just want to see a girl win!” Everyone else made sense to vote for Nicole. I think D’s vote was most surprising because she called out Nic for being a snake, and also had Paul in her original vet foursome

       • I really think Paul should have won last year. D’vonne or other females (I’m a female) votes were just bitter jury. No way Nicole was the best player that year. I’m (was) not a Paul fan. But this year he got every one in his pocket and he did manage jury. Like or dislike him, he gets the best game. I hope he will win at this point. And I was not saying this some weeks ago. At this point, I’m rooting for him.

       • Yep Paul “Should” have won last year…But Allison Grodner had Nicole Penciled in for the win.

         Paul NEVER should have taken Nicole, he should have taken James at F2.

       • Last year, in the first half of the season I couldn’t stand him. By the end I loved him. Nicole did win some things, but for the most part I didn’t respect her game play. She definitely didn’t play to the level of Paul.

       • HUH?? I think you & I have been watching different seasons here…
         Alex was in Paul’s pocket the second week, and as soon as Alex dropped, Jason followed. Christmas was with Paul second week too. In fact, it was the next week that she won her DoT and the only person she told was Paul. I am currently watching season 6 of BB with Janelle, Howie, Kaysar & the Sovereign 6 VS Maggie, Ivette and The Friendship…If you want to watch seriously good BB, go back to these seasons. I am astounded at the difference and how production started to interfere… This season is a joke. In past seasons a girl with a broken foot would have never won a physical comp! NEVER!!

       • I’ve actually been re-watching seasons too :) season 8, 7, and now on 14.

         I was referring to when Alex was in the DR in the first couple of episodes, saying she didn’t like Paul. Also, she has admitted to him and Jason t hat she wanted Paul out in the beginning.

       • He’s just like Mary Poppins : a “pretty practically perfect person in every way.”

       • And they don’t want to see him leave, not ever

       • In the real world … barf. Just barf. Nothing more.

149. The one thing I’m looking forward to when Jason goes home is not having to hear his annoying AF whistle thing anymore. Like when he talks and instead of saying an ‘S’ sound, he does an old man whistle.

150. All this Cody bashing… he isn’t perfect by any means but we all saw a “softer” side to him especially when it came to Jessica. At first, it appeared he didn’t want to have anything to do with her, but the two together are quite the pair. He fell in love with Jessica and has genuine feelings for her. It was a beautiful thing to witness…

     • He also showed a much friendlier side in the jury house. It would have been a whole different game if Cody had stayed in the BB house.

       • I couldn’t agree more Grace. How I wished that would have happened! Paul and Alex would be gone!

       • Hi, Ron’s girlfriend. How are you tonight?

     • I’m getting all misty.
       Jessica Graf will perform at Il Giardino cafe with members of the Bold and the Beautiful cast, do not think the date is set yet

       • Yes, I heard that!

       • I’m thinking singer

       • Maybe. She’ll do well whatever her role is.

       • Looked at her bio, could not find any musical instruments but it did say that her breasts are real

       • Yes AG, they’re real and they’re marvelous!

       • You know this for a fact ? Or doing Billy Crystal , Marvellous ? But from here oh yeah, Jessica’s are real and Elena’s are real and unreal at the same time, I known girls like that, back in a previous incarnation

151. He’s right. Paul ruined the show coming in telling the HG’s if they kept him he would teach them how to use this to make money. So no one wanted to vote him out, he’s their guru. And then xmas with the foot should have left. She has changed a lot of the comps.

     • Yes, and the fact that she was allowed to replace Cody in the POV with the ring of replacement & then not compete in the comp is really hinky to me.IMO, if she used that temptation, she should have had to compete in the comp she used it in. No exceptions.

       • Nice to see somebody else say this too. That whole thing, replacing Cody only to not compete, left a really bad taste in my mouth.

152. He’s absolutely right!!!

153. Well, BBAD has started. I’ll take one for the team tonight and watch at least part of it.

     • Oh, bless you. I can’t do it anymore, I just read the next day about what happened.

       • I did have fun last night commenting on the … um .. barbecue. But tonight it’s pretty much back to boring. Maybe tomorrow something interesting will happen.

       • I won’t tape BBAD tonite, but maybe tomorrow.

       • Yeah. Unless Armageddon hits the BB house, you’re not missing much. I keep checking up on Hurricane Irma; my husband has a sister in Florida, but further north – in Orlando. And now we see Jose is right behind Irma. Fingers crossed and prayers for everybody in their path.

       • Yes, I read on Evel Dick’s twitter account that they are all preparing for Irma. I am beginning to think that living near a large body of water these days is not a good idea. Let’s pray that Irma doesn’t cause too much damage or kill anybody.

       • I haven’t seen too much about Irma’s path once it crosses Florida, but it looks to me like it’s headed right into the Gulf of Mexico, where it most likely will strengthen again over warm water – and then head for Texas or Louisiana. I sure hope I’m wrong. That’s the last thing they need.

     • I try but end up changing it. Like right now, Paul and Josh jumping on a box. Production said their usual ‘stop That’. Paul says why, and keeps on going. Production says nothing else.

154. I agree with most of what he’s saying minus him boasting about Cody & Jessica. They were no better at dealing with people either and came across as arrogant jackasses themselves. Kevin has proven to be the only one with an ounce of moral integrity and I am sickened at how he has been talked about and bullied!!!

     • Kevin is a sweetheart of a man. Most everyone would probably agree with you!

155. Grace H, if you are still tuning in, can you fill us in on what’s happening on BBAD. Thanks!

     • I got through an hour, but not much happening. Paul and Josh were jumping on a box, production said, “stop that!” and Paul said, why? That’s what the box is for.” The he proceeded to almost fall off, so they stopped. The guys (except for Jason) have been taking turns lifting weights and trying (unsuccessfully) to look macho. Jason and Raven have been in the hot tub (and Raven crawled into the pool once but was back in the hot tub when I turned it off).
       Christmas and Alex were in the kitchen cooking shrimp and I think steaks or burgers – some kind of meat. Christmas said you should add all your seasonings to the butter in the frying pan before you add the food – it’s better for the food, or for you, or for the taste – I don’t know what she said. Whatever.
       So not much going on. I was as bored as they seemed to be, but they were still basking in the afterglow of last night’s orgy … er … barbecue. They were debating how much botox (if any) Jillian used, and what parts of other HGs were real. That’s pretty much it. I had a kind of weird experience with one of the people who lives in our subdivision yesterday, so I was glad to come here and watch BBAD so I wouldn’t think about her. Very creepy. Anyway, I’m going to bed. My dog Bali is coming with me, so I feel safe. ;-) See y’all tomorrow.

       • Thanks for the update, Grace! Sweet dreams!

       • Thanks, hon. Same back atcha.

       • :-)

156. VERY well said Evel Dick! Sooo true! SERIOUSLY LMFAO @ C**NTY Potatohead Alex! Too funny!
     It’s good to read/hear Vets calling these people out on their “Mob like Mentality,” especially someone like E.D who was a sh*t disturber!
     Like he said, there are RIGHT ways to go about it & there are good reasons to do certain things to HGs (he wanted to keep his daughter safe that week so he did whatever he could to ensure he was the one who went home!) however, as he points out, “attacking HGs” like Kevin etc. is not necessary and is pathetic!

     I think it’s hilarious that Paul not only comparison himself to Evel Dick but also thinks ED is still a fan of his still!!! Evel Dick calling the HG the “Biggest flock of sheep in BB history,” Priceless!
     Like E.D said, he did his “own dirty work,” he didn’t need “the house to gang up on someone, isolate someone and attacked someone” & he didn’t “orchestrate a Mob Mentality, feeding lines for others to attack!” ALL what Paul is doing! Paul trying to get these HG’s to push someone to the point of violence in order for them to get tossed from the game! Pathetic!

     It’s nice to see that Evil Dick along with many other previous HGs are disgusted by the behaviour of Paul, Josh, Christmas and Alex!
     I haven’t read of a single “vet” that thinks Paul’s game is “One of the Best in BB History? Because it’s not!
     All the vets that I have seen on Instagram and Twitter have said that Paul “hiding behind the HGs” and ordering them to “attack” in a “Mob Mentality” is “pathetic, bullying, NOT strategic gameplay just simply bullying and an embarrassment to all of them that are following Paul around & NOT playing this game for themselves!”

     AND for Evel Dick to also point out “Paul’s advantages because he is a vet” being BS! Good for him! So true!
     E.D also pointing out that this season (and others) is clearly manipulated and he (like many of us) want an organic season! No vets, no twist, no manipulation! (I am not sure what he meant about no DR?)
     I really enjoyed reading this! Thank you Matthew! & thank you Evel Dick for not being silent!

157. Evel Dick is spot on in his analogy of this season, especially because his season is one of the reasons production has allowed some of the crap that has gone on this season. ED’s season is still (by far) the most popular season of BB, averaging over 8 million viewers weekly and surpassing 9 million viewers at times! NO other season has had those numbers, even BB 7! I suppose production is looking to reproduce the magic ED created, however, this season is definitely not it. Paul is not an Evel Dick, nor is he a Dr. Will. He is the guru to a group of players who have no desire to win. What this season is sorely lacking is give& take power struggle that is crucial to BB. One of the reasons for that is production interference. Jessica has come out after the show and leaked that production prodded Cody to backdoor Paul!! Does that really surprise anyone?? They wanted the controversy. Even tho they knew they were blowing up Cody’s game, they wanted to see the fireworks more than they wanted to keep the integrity of the game…and that, my friends, is why BB continues to decline in the ratings, and why it is not the show it used to be.

158. What year did Allison Grodner become an executive producer?
     They need to fire her!

     • She became EP in 2000.

       • So, since the beginning then. They’re just trying to recreate ED’s season Grace since it is still the highest rated season of BB ever.

       • Well, if their goal was to recreate EDs season, that attempt was pretty much a fail. ED is right. Things were so much simpler then. Put the HGs in the house, give them tasks, and let them figure out the rest on their own. The HGs don’t need help – especially the kind of help production offers. Too bad TPTB don’t see and understand that.

       • I know. I agree. Grace, me & some of my friends have been watching BB together on Sundays for about 8 years, since Jordan won, and this is the first season the gang is not watching together. I am the only one out of 8 people who is still even semi watching the show this year. My son, my best friend, her family, and the rest of my (our) group has all stopped watching BB this year!! That is how bad it is. Instead, on Sundays, we now watch BB 6! It’s just a better time when BB was actually a good show.

       • It’s the age-old problem; take something good and trash it for the sake of change. Hardly ever a good idea. It’s like taking a good movie and making sequel 1, 2, 3, 4, …15, etc., and each one is worse than the one before it. Or take a classic like Dirty Dancing, and recreate it for heaven only knows what reason. When you have something good, determine what it is about it that makes it good, and never change it. Winning formulas (like winning recipes) should be protected at all costs.

       • BB thinks they have a winning formula as far as cast is concerned…and maybe they do, but each year they have allowed more and more outrageous behaviors, I think hoping the controversy will recreate the ratings season 8 got, but it has not happened. Season 15 had terrible ratings, but the highest of the season is when they aired the racist comments!! Go figure! Someone said on this post that this season has blown the roof off the ratings…and that might be so from last season since BB18 had the *lowest* ratings of ALL time in BB history, even BB 15 had higher ratings. This season had decent ratings (in the beginning), but guess what, after Cody, the antagonist of the house left, the ratings started to drop. I just don’t understand BB production thinking a guy from the lowest rated season of BB ever would be a ratings hero!! He’s not and now the season is not only a game bust, but it’s turning into a ratings bust too!! Great job, AG!

       • OK, I have the ratings here for Thursdays this season: they were fairly even except for a couple of oddball dates:

         7/6 – ratings up 18.75% – then m/l even until

         8/17 – up 10.53% – then …

         8/24 – down 18.05% and

         8/31 – down another 11.76%

         Viewership dropped from its high (6.477 mil) on 8/17, to a season low of 4.906 on 8/31, a viewer percentage drop of 18.60%.

         That’s not good news.

         From TVSeriesFinale: Big Brother: Season 19 Ratings (Evictions)

       • Exactly. The ratings are dropping fast. You know what’s funny, BB 18 hit an all time low with only 4 and a half million viewers and up until that point BB had never gone below 5 and a half million viewers; this was the low for BB 15. However, before BB 15, BB had never dropped below 6-7 million viewers and averaged over 7 million viewers from BB 6 thru BB 14, with BB 8 being the most watched season ever with an average of of 8 to 8 and a half million viewers. That is why I think it’s hilarious that AG & production put their belief in Paul, who was on the most unpopular season of BB ever and that is including BB 15!!! And they’re now wondering why the ratings are dropping like flies…well, maybe because all that’s left to watch is Paul, a HG from the most unpopular season of BB in BB history!! Good job, AG!!

       • OMG!!! The TV remake of Dirty Dancing was terrible!!! Awful!!
         I knew it would never be the same however, I was still excited because I love that movie! And I thought it would be fun to see the TV remake! The “live Grease TV remake” last year was really good so I was excited!
         Some of the cast was good! Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls I thought would be a good addition, I thought it would be at least OK and entertaining! Of course nothing like the original.
         But they destroyed it!!!!
         They went way too far off the script! It was almost like it was a different show but they were copying a little bit of dirty dancing!
         I understand why they added some things here and there but they went way too far off script!
         THE ONLY good thing about the show was the guy who played Johnny! (Apparently he had never acted before or had a little acting experience.) He was good but the girl who played Baby, (I can’t remember her name ATM) WAS horrible!!!!! And she’s a good actress. at least that’s what I thought! I remember her being a good actress in movies I saw her in. But she was terribly casted for that role! And I don’t mean for this to come across as rude or mean but, she was a little heavier then she’s normally been, & she just wasn’t right for that role! The clothes they put on her did her no justice whatsoever! Jennifer Gray clothes in the original were much nicer! Abigail something? The Girl playing Baby, She was a terrible dancer, Stiff, awkward and just bad. It was uncomfortable to watch her dance!
         The original Dirty Dancing had Baby as not a bad dancer at all and ended up becoming even better!
         I think that the casting of Abigail? Was what I dislike the most! There was no raw chemistry between the two main actors. It was uncomfortable to watch them both act as though they were in love!
         Anyway yada yada! Literally none of my friends watched it so I’ve had no one to talk to about it for months and months! so I’m sorry, I’m going on and on.
         BUT what a huge huge huge disappointment that was! From beginning to end! Everything about that “remake”was bad!!
         Most of the actors, (some veteran actors) including Baby, Katie Seagal, Baby’s mom and Baby’s dad were all awful in the remake! I know their names, I just forget at the moment.
         Even Casper Smart surprised me as being a decent actor! Better than most of them. The rest of the cast was horrible aside from whoever play Johnny, again he was really the only good thing about the remake. The set was bad, the clothing was horrible, the extra added parts to the movie were bad, the same “parts of the original” but completely changed were awful, the casting was terrible! The acting was terrible! The singing was stupid! And I did not at all feel any chemistry between the lead actors, Baby and Johnny! The rewrite was horrible! I was super excited to watch it! Of course I knew it would be not even close as good as the original but I didn’t expect it to be as bad as it was!
         Ugh 😑
         Yada yada sorry! LOL went off on a little rage there. Stupid talk to type! But thanks for letting me vent 😉

       • I also watched it because I thought the live grease wasn’t bad, and those are my favorite movies. They at least had a real dancer play Sandy, but I don’t know what they were thinking casting Abigail Breslin as baby. I hated the techno version of “hungry eyes”, and I loved that song in the original. That song and dance with baby and penny, and the parent’s love story were weird and boring. Once I saw how bad it was I kept watching while reading all of the funny tweets and memes about how bad it was, kinda like everybody is doing now with bb19

       • Sorry Grace, you mentioned the remake of Dirty Dancing and that just triggered me LOL sorry for the long reply!

       • Absolutely 100% Correct!

       • Really, they were trying to re-create season eight?

       • It’s still getting the highest ratings hey?
         I really wish it wasn’t. I mean I should turn it off and not record it but, I am just a diehard fan and have been since season one. Even though I absolutely hate this season, I still can’t look away!
         I know tons of people who are not watching it anymore! So I am actually surprised it is still doing as well as it is. Maybe it’s because even though people are not watching it, they still have it set to record? That’s my only guess why it is still rated #1……!?
         I will say that if next summer is anything like this summer, I am not going to watch it! I will give it a shot at first but if I see a lot of manipulation and scripted situations I’m done! The only reason (aside from being a diehard fan) that I’m watching it still is because for the past two months (LOL) I truly hoped things would change! I now know it’s not going to happen so at this point I just want to watch these losers destroy each other!
         The only likeable people remaining are Jason and Kevin. And it’s not because of their gameplay, it’s just because they are good people (in real life.)
         I know Jason made a very very bad mistake a few days ago, but we are all human and make mistakes. He will have to write his wrongs and pay for this for a long time! So, because I know he was just talking that way to be “one of the cool kids” and wasn’t thinking about the words he was actually saying, I am not going to let that tarnish the way I have felt about him for most of the season. I mean he hasn’t been my favourite HG, (none of them have been!) It’s impossible to have a favourite however, to my knowledge Jason hasn’t said or done anything terrible the entire season. Yes, he’s been a follower and runs to Paul for everything but, he is the Best of the worst. Anyway yada yada! Sorry, I went off topic there

       • I’m sorry tina, but when I said highest ratings, I meant season 8. Evel Dick’s season is one of the highest rated ever (9.5 million viewers) & I just learned that BB 2 actually holds that record with over 12 million viewers on finale night! This season isn’t even doing as good as BB16. The ratings are up from last season, but that is because BB18 was the worst season ever as far as ratings go. It dropped to only 4.5 million viewers at times. HUGE difference from past seasons. Not even BB 15 did that badly in the ratings!

         So, you are not wrong. :) This season is not doing that great at all and fans are dropping it left & right like a bad habit. In fact, from what I have read the ratings have continued to slide since Cody (Paul’s antagonist) left and are now down like 20% or so since the beginning ratings. If BB would simply go back to the old format, get some decent HG who are adept at plotting out this game without DR prompting and stopped encouraging players to make moves for drama purposes only…..they could get back to a winning season, bot for the fans and in the ratings!

       • Oops 🙊 My bad! I misunderstood that you were talking about season eight.
         In regards to season 16 being the worst, did you mean 15? Wasn’t it season 15 with all the racism? Maybe I’m wrong, I usually am LOL
         I didn’t know last season did so poorly. And I am happy this season is dropping in the ratings! Hopefully this will open up the BB/CBS’s I was and they will stop trying to manipulate and script the show from here on out! There’s just no need for it, it was a great show before all the manipulation. So I totally agree with you

       • No hon, sorry info is getting lost in translation. hahaha What I said is this season isn’t doing as well as BB 16 did in the ratings, and BB 18 did even worse than BB 15 ratings wise. Which is why I don’t understand bringing back Paul. If BB 18 had been a huge success, I would understand it more, but it was not, so why bring him back?

       • I read where Evil Dick said Mr. Shapiro was the EP during his season, BB 8. Allison was on the staff as Co-EP, but didn’t become EP until 2007.

       • Where did you read this? I watch Dick@night & he mentions AG as production in his season…So does James Rhine who was in BB 6 & BB 7.

       • You might be right, but as I said above I did read where she was Co-EP also, then she was promoted to. But I think we both agree that BB is in need of some new fresh blood, Allison has taken the game show down the rabbit hole.

         **I just went back to AG’s IMDb, seems like she came on board in 2000/01

       • I absolutely agree with you cg! The ratings continue to go down and they need to do something to bring back the love fans had for BB. I would love for them to get rid of have/have nots altogether & bring back food comps. Let go of some of these overblown comps and go back to basics a bit. I just watched the pressure cooker HOH & Kaysar & Jenny stood in that glass house for 14 freaking hours trying to win HOH! Do you think any of these duds would last that long?? haha I bet these HG would be whining & trying to make deals after an hour!

         Also, I wish BB would stop looking for drama through overblown personalities and start looking for strategic thinkers again. Large personalities AND strategic BB game players has been a recipe for success in the past and it can again if they would just go back to the old format a bit. What do you think?

       • Agree with you TGJ!!! Allison Grodner needs to go back to “Old School” Big Brother! To be honest with you I noticed the game changing after Season 10, they need to take BB back to its original roots!

     • She’s been there for years and years hon. I know at least since season 2.

       • Interesting! I thought because everyone was bashing on her, she was relatively new and the reason baby is going downhill. Perhaps they just need to fire everyone there!!

     • Allison Grodner became the Executive Producer in 2007, & its been all down hill from there…Smdh

       • Actually, you’re wrong. I am re-watching BB 6 right now & AG is listed as Executive Producer after each show I watch from my CBS All Access (live feeds pass). She was definitely EP in BB 6.

       • You might be right, I tried to research it, but it was hard to Pin down. I even Google it…lol?! I did read on Evel Dick’s Tweets about 3 day ago where he said Allison came on as EP either Season 10, or 11.

       • I don’t think you read that right, because I just pulled up season 2 on my CBS All Access/live feeds pass and watched an episode… at the end of the epi, AG is listed as Co-Executive Producer. It is right there, plain as day, so, I cannot see ED making that comment b/c she was obviously EP during his season.

       • Oh…okay…thanx for the correction! I got the info off her IMDb, I tried, so sorry if it was incorrect……. :(

       • No worries. I know we all tend to blame AG, but the truth is she has been with the show from the beginning. I think she is just trying to recreate past seasons where the drama made the ratings soar.
         Not sure when Shapiro left but I will look for his name tonight when I watch BB 6 with my son… ;)

       • Really hey! That long! I thought maybe over the past few years, four or five at most!
         Well, they REALLY need to revive BB so, they need to kick somebody to the curb!

       • That long! I thought maybe four or five years at most! I never pay attention LOL (well that is until this season!)
         CBS needs to fire someone or everyone at Big Brother! It’s time to bring back the OLD REAL Big Brother we all know and love! Enough of this scripted BS

159. I love this season and Paul is playing a brilliant game.

160. Another question I have been meaning to ask in regards to of course, Raven!
     Why did she or does she cough when she’s cleaning her ears with Q-tips??
     I was just watching some older feeds from the past few days ago, Christmas is really really getting fed up with the Ravens stories hey!? The HGs talking about Raven and her being a pathological liar, discussing all her stories etc. & wondering what we all think and what we see & hear is hilarious!
     Ohhhhhhh don’t you worry HG’s, we were all on two or even within the first few weeks. Paul you don’t need to want a montage of Ravens lies, they are already all over the Internet!

     • She coughs because she digging the Q-tip too deeply into her ear canal. She wants to be careful with that — **lowers voice to a whisper in case Typhoid Mary overhears and starts getting ideas for her next malady** people have actually ruptured their eardrums pushing the Q-tip in too far. On the other hand, who knows? maybe she was digging for a late night snack and the cough was the signal for having hit gold.

       • Lmao TOOOOO FUNNY!
         I was wondering if she did it just for attention! It shouldn’t make someone cough if you put the Q-tip into far!? I don’t think so? I have accidentally done that myself and I’ve never coughed!
         It’s very bizarre but that again so is Raven!
         I think it’s just for attention, but I asked the question wondering if Raven had said why she coughs when doing it, something to do with an illness or something LOL

       • Someone told me it’s because she says she has some illness or disease that makes her cough when she puts qtips in her ears lol
         How this girl comes up with everything she says blows my mind!
         Mommy Munchhausen has taught her well!
         Actually, I take that back! Mommy Munchhausen has not taught her well because Raven has taken it to the next level! Inverted spine, rough kneecap syndrome, putting Q-tips in her ears makes her cough syndrome etc. etc. etc.! Too funny! What a weirdo

     • She said she has a disease where cleaning her ears with a qtip causes her to cough. She said there is a name for it but she forgot the name. Its called insanity Raven! She only coughs when she knows she’s on camera. Another time she was cleaning her ears, didn’t know she was on camera, didn’t cough.

       • Yeah, I saw both of videos on YouTube. Raven insanity disease is perfect LMAO
         How does she come up with this stuff! Unreal
         That said, the house is on to her………. I like how they are starting to question her more and it is rattling her but she still doesn’t shut up & stop lying! It will be interesting to see if the house does end up calling her out!

       • I wish someone would call her out. When Alex was speaking to Jason she said that they can’t confront Raven because what if she really has these diseases. Lmao. No wonder Paul can manipulate them with ease. They can’t think logically.

       • These people are too afraid of ruining their 15 minutes of fame then to actually play the game! Little do they know that they already ruined their 15 minutes of fame. Because they’re a bunch of followers

       • LOL

161. & does anyone know why Paul was upset yesterday? Is it real? Or could it be just gameplay?
     my understanding is he was called into the DR room three times, so that would make me believe something happen however, BB caters to Paul so if he is pretending, they would go along with it! In any event, I hope everything is OK with him and his family and his animals.
     someone also wrote it could be in regards to his girlfriend. I don’t know!

162. spot on it is the worst season ever I stopped watching it I only zoom in on Thursday night or just pop in here to catch up never ever has this happened to me oh well lets hope for next year and looking forward to BB Canada

     • I am really really looking forward to BBC also! So much better than this season among other seasons! It’s so good!

163. Sorry, I keep having questions from these feeds.
     Is Kevin really going to self evict on Thursday? And is he going to do this prior to the nomination ceremony? Will Jason get to stay?
     I really do not like when people quit the game however, Kevin knows he doesn’t stand a chance at winning this game, (or at least he doesn’t think anyone will take him to the F2) & because every day is very hard on Kevin and it’s breaking him down! Kevin is such a happy go lucky, good person and being treated the way he is being treated……I can completely understand why he wants to leave. Why stay when the last person in the house and the only person in the house that is “nice to you” & “talks to you” is going to be evicted?
     Kevin has endured weeks of torment from Alex etc. and he can not talk game with anybody at all! Kevin is not even allowed to talk to anybody! Anytime the poor guy tries to talk to anybody but Jason he is shut down! Nobody will talk to him. Paul just tells him what to do and just to be quiet and not ask questions. Kevin is like screw that! But there’s nothing he can do. I would not fault Kevin for leaving! People can only take so much non-game abuse before they finally snap. I feel soooo badly for Kevin!
     The poor guy has been treated like sh*t for weeks now! It’s not cool!
     he is a good person and a very loving father! Check out Kevin and his daughters on YouTube. It’s super funny and cute! They really love their dad!

     • He has made a comment that even if Jason is the one that is evicted, that he (Kevin) will get up and walk out instead. I hope not, but like you said, I can’t blame him. I wonder if he did leave in that type of scenario, if he would still be able to keep the 25K, plus be able to go to jury and earn a stipend? I would assume that they would have to treat it as a self-eviction, and he would lose everything, plus he wouldn’t be able to go to jury. Although I can’t stand how he is being treated, it wouldn’t be right if they allowed him to go to jury in the event that he walks out when he wasn’t the one evicted.

       We shall find out Thursday! It would be better if Alex, Paul and Raven were the ones evicted this week! (I wish that it was a triple eviction; and that’s my dream scenario.) Well, as much as I dislike Raven, and even Paul, since we know that Jason is likely to be evicted this week, then it would be the greatest thing ever if Alex and Kevin would be nominated next, and Alex would be the one that is evicted!!!!! It would right so much wrong, IMO!!!!! I would love it!!!!!!!!!!

       • Yeah, I was wondering the same thing about Kevin and the $25,000 etc. I agree, he shouldn’t be allowed to go to jury however, BB should not force people to stay under the circumstances poor Kevin has been dealing with for weeks now! And when Jason goes, Kevin will have no sane person left. So just like you, and like I said & I said in my previous comment I wouldn’t blame him AT ALL but I would hope the BB would not punish him and not pay him.
         I could not agree with you more about who should really be evicted! Unfortunately the only two nice people left in that house are on the block so regardless it’s a lose lose situation.
         A perfect scenario for me would be Noms stay the same and Alex goes on Thursday and during the DE Raven goes, the following week Christmas goes, then Josh and that would leave Paul and Kevin as F2. Kevin walks away with an extra $50,000 in his pocket.
         I DI NOT like 99% of the things Paul has done in this game all season, but I have to give him credit in regards to taking advantage of a bunch of “mindless morons” and running the show. The fact that people are throwing HOH Comps, veto comps and volunteering to go up as pawns (this late in the game) all because of what Paul tells them to do is pretty good.
         But again, these HGs are all a bunch of morons so it was not difficult for Paul! Paul has no bragging rights if he does win. BB has scripted and manipulated these HGs to listen to Paul, and Paul has been a very dirty dirty player but hasn’t “been a man” and done ANYTHING himself, he has made people like Josh “attack” others which makes him just as bad, if not worse!
         I know people say good for Paul for playing this game thus far without getting blood on his hands, and I don’t completely disagree however, the things Paul has “ordered his minions” to do is terrible! Not gameplay! & has been with “mob like mentality with the bullying” etc. Like I have said since Paul received the 3 weeks safety, “Best Showmance in History goes to Paul & Big Brother!”

       • I couldn’t agree more with everything. Love the Paul and BB showmance comment!!!!! 😂

     • I do understand how he feels. I hope he doesn’t ,I read on another feed he’s already won 36,000 and if he last the next two weeks hell get 60k. He has a lot to lose if he walks out.

       • Yeah he won the $25,000 on day one and then whatever amount of money BB is giving them.
         But yeah, I guess if he did self evict then he would lose some money, I’m not sure how that works though. Some people can only handle so much before they break and the way Kevin is being treated is heartbreaking and disgusting so for BB to punish him (not give him the money he has received up until the day he leavesif he decided to leave) would be unfair! In my opinion.
         If he was being treated nicely and just left the game for no real reason then yeah but leaving because he’s been tortured for weeks and weeks now I can understand and I would hope baby would not punish him financially because of that.
         Jason is the only HG remaining that is nice to him, so I can understand Kevin’s concerns if/when Jason is the one evicted on Thursday.

164. Totally agree! Worst show ever. Paul should have never been brought back.

165. Wow…if I am agreeing with ED, this really has been a crazy and horrendous season. Bring it back to Old School BB!!

166. I agree with everything he said. Did I really agree with ED? 🤤😄😉

167. Evil Dick speaks for thousands of fans!!! Thank you ED!!! I represent over 100+ members (as admin/owner) of a closed FB BB Group which follows the BB in the season!!! More than 90% of our members have been complaining for years about “Fixed” seasons, unfair advantages & returning vets. We have individual written to CBS, BB and producers about their involvement in the game and our desire for a “pure virgin” game again. Those comments, letters, emails & tweets from fans; not only from our group; but many groups have fallen on deaf ears. OTT brought major cancellations of feeds from not just our group but members of other monitored groups. This season has brought even more seasons, lack of watching the feeds 24/7 by our members & admin. Allison Grodner & her production/casting gang have caused the show to JUMP-The-SHARK. They don’t listen, they don’t care and the show will fail eventually by their hands. The voting polls we have suspected for a time are fixed, as most large BB Groups do a voting poll at the same time & the results are totally different than what admin of those groups see from their personal groups. In addition, another thing we have noticed is DR controlling, twist, advantages and even with holding alcohol to limit “blow ups” which we used to see; now we are blocked from the action on feeds. AG & crew misread once again the popularity of a past player; against fans wishes and manipulate the game for Paul to win. So AG & crew if your reading this know you have ruined the game, your loosing fans; stop casting vets, friends of friends, actor wannabes, career advancement seekers or just those lazy “all I care about is making it to jury for a summer paid vacation” players. We are sick of them…!!! My 2 cents & thank you ED for you are the voice for the fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

168. Can’t argue with anything ED said. Like I’ve said before…..the only 2 people that were actually playing BB were Cody & Jess. MOST of the HGs are fkn SOCIOPATHS and I hate them. I like Kevin though; hope that he wins! (Non sociopaths…..Cody, Jess, Kevin & Mark). WORST BB season, EVER!! Oh…..and Paul is a POS!

169. I hated evil dick and his season and his way of playing the game. It was low. As compared to the flawless way Derrick played it. But I agree with what he is saying. I’ve said it since Paul was given 3 weeks immunity, the producers are manipulating it. The other crazy bullshit is just the effects the house has on people psychologically. But this season sucks. But does it matter if viewers keep tuning in?

170. ED was spot on. I agree with him totally!!

171. Would love a Throw Back show. Everything the the first year,
