CBS is gonna try to cover everything up and tell Paul to rein his shit in, and if things don't calm down they will throw him to the wolves (ie. stop trying to rig the game in his favour).
this season has been such a weird mess.

Yeah it turned out to be a big fat nothing. Going by the pics I've seen, it will be cringeworthy nonetheless. However, a tiny bit of self awareness would have gone a long way for Paul. His family recieved death threats.
Strategically, he didn't need to do it at all. 1) He was safe, and 2) The house (seemingly) is all against Dominique without his further instigation, and taunting her just paints himself as a target. All around bad play.
Anyways, I've been reading the Reddit commentaries for the feeds. I'm loving certain memes circulating among the viewers. Josh is just a human bean, Matt loves cereal, etc.
Kevin and Jessica have amazing conversations apparently.

Yeah, just pull her name out because you already know she can't do it

I really truly honestly have no idea why people are choosing Dominique as the one to vote out this week. It makes no sense to me whatsoever. Like she has done nothing (at least in the primetime edit) to even warrant targeting her over the couples in the house...
I just don't think I care for people's rationale on these competition reality shows...

I still want to believe people in the house can't be this stupid...she was on your side and you wanna vote her out for reasons...
I'll fix Mark his plate at the cookout tho...

They were ready to vote her ass out before the outburst...and even with the outburst, it doesn't make sense strategically to even target her in the first place...

I'm tired. Every episode is the Paul show. Paul getting a mastermind edit for "orchestrating" the eviction of someone who was completely on his side until she was nominated. Them consistently throwing in footage of everyone talking about great it is working with Paul. I'm shocked they didn't shove in Cody saying "Respect" to Paul for like the 3rd or 4th episode in a row.
And then I see this:
Hope for Paul getting Neda'd is dwindling very quickly. Everyone is too far up his ass.

Alex is HoH and wanted to get rid of someone on that side of the house. Why not Dom, especially after she tried to throw Elena under the bus.
Anybody who would be bothered by that is a whiney little baby.

Because it's dumb, stupid and nonsensical? Because it continues down a trend of just having just crazy black people on the show instead of highlighting the strength of the African American community in America?
Speaking in tounges should not be normalized, it is erratic odd behavior.

I was rewatching Episode 1 to enjoy the house Pre-Paul and Dominique definitely played her religious angle too hard. She claimed to be an engineer but didn't really have any complex gameplay or gameplay of any kind.

Well after seeing it, I'd have to agree. Paul just made himself look like an idiot.
I still feel bad for Dom tho.

I'm no huge fan of Paul, and please do not start all that friendship stuff again, but why do people have to twist everything into so pseudo-political racist bullshit?
She called him a snake, he dressed like a snake, and wanted to color his face black to match the dress. So people think because of that he is attacking a "black" woman? Why can't he just be responding to a house guest? Why does it matter if she is black, white, or purple?
Is he a woman hater too?
I understand being sympathetic to the term "blackface" which is totally being misrepresented in this case, but it just seems like reaching out to feed a fire that was never there in the first place.
And now because social media and trendy news sites are latching onto this as a "story" CBS is forced to respond.
BB has had plenty of racists over the years, I just don't think this is one those times.
We'll see how this all plays out.

I honestly feel so fucking sorry for Paul. Say what you want about him, his life (at just 24 years old) may have been destroyed...all because of a fucking lie.
Paul made it crystal clear he's dressing up like a snake (wearing a black snake print dress) and he's wanting to use his clay mask to complete his costume. The only reason he's doing so is because Dominique is the one running around telling people that God told her Paul is a snake.
It is absolutely despicable what TMZ and E! Entertainment have done.
They are knowingly lying in their articles by stating that Paul was dressing up to look like a black house guest (aka Dominique) so he can torment her. This is the bullshit they are spewing...how could this be legal?
In TMZ's article, they even said Paul was plotting his "blackface" in a room full of laughing white people, when in fact the majority in the room were very clearly minorities (like Ramses and Alex) and not white.
I actually think Paul may have a valid defamation case against TMZ and E!

I like Paul a lot, but even as a fan, it's hard for me to understand how they newbies don't understand the manipulation he's pulling. It's great, but if you've ever watched a season in your life, it should be fairly obvious.
Because it's fucking stupid?
He's not even lowkey about it like say Derrick was.

He is a grown man, I have no sympathy for a grown ass man who doesn't understand the history of blackface and how insensitive it is to even suggest doing blackface to retaliate against this only black person in the house.
The people caping for Paul's ignorance I'm assuming have never been forced to have sensitivity training.
I've come to the conclusion that Dom is actually more self-centered and narcissistic than Paul is, which is quite an accomplishment.
Only one of them believes that the all powerful creator of the universe cares enough to personally intervene on their behalf in Big Brother.

You really don't like her...because she's wildly religious? That aspect of her makes her incredibly naive, not narcissistic.
Paul thinks he is the all powerful creator in the Big Brother house which in my opinion is narcissistic.
She thinks that she is so special and important that god himself takes such an interest in her Big Brother game that he gives her important info, helps helps her with comps, smites her enemies (I think god told her Paul is going home soon), ect. I'm pretty sure she doesn't think that God does that for everyone.
The other houseguests are doing everything they can to justify his narcissism, and will continue to for a while I think. He might get the HoH throw to him again!

If you've ever met people who are deeply religious, they think God tips the scales for everything. That does not in my opinion make them narcissists, it makes them naive. I'm not sure how Dom is this way, since she is an engineer, but I also am not gonna dislike her because she is religious. The things Paul has said are way more problematic...
I would say everyone who thinks that they are so favored by god that he helps them with ultimately unimportant bs while ignoring people with real problems is narcissistic. Though I've never met anyone as bad as Dom who seems to think she's a fucking prophet or something.

Yeah, I agree with LilWayneSuckz. I'd call Dominique naive before I called her narcissistic. It's not that she believes she's the ~chosen one~ or whatever to be the only one helped by God. She just believes God is out there ready to help anyone who's willing to ask.
Paul is on a whole other level of narcissism and I giggle at the thought of anyone believing anyone in that house is more self-centered than him.
I can't stand his hypocrisy at this point.
What Paul says: I can't stand to see people sad. I am not a mean person.
What Paul does:
- call Michelle a c*nt
- make countless sexist remarks about Natalie
- pressure everyone in the house to stop talking to Ramses; told everyone to "leave that little fucker all by himself in this house" just because he thinks he's "shady"
- mock and impersonate Dominique numerous times
He called Dominique an ignorant person. He, Paul, who said he wants a "black face" while wearing a costume that mocks the only black person in the house, called said black person an ignorant person.
Anyways, I need Cody back. He, Jessica, and Josh are the only ones I trust to turn this around and prevent us from having to watching the likes of Matt/Raven until September.

I'll just leave this here for some of you, and go back to watching ;P
So back on topic, is Ramses slipping back into the background? Same with Josh? Seems like it, or maybe just till after eviction this week.
I really want more psycho Josh.

Josh got into a huge fight with Mark and they didn't show it on TV because it had nothing to do with the show narrative.
And Paul is in charge so Ramses has a huge target on his back, he is an easy nom choice next week or the week that follows.

Yes but he spoke about putting something sorta-black on his face, therefore he is literally in the KKK.

I found Jeff Bell's alt account! Could you turn up the pretentiousness in your post a bit? I couldn't read it with the waft of "judging me for judging others" agenda there. Your profession is not who you are and if you're basing that on someone's ability to be "good", I got a great clown to hire for your next party.
This didn't really help me. Thanks, though?
This was the other side I could see, but I don't know enough about either side to make an argument. Just trying to understand.

Yesss, I love Josh. He's so dramatic.
On a side note, I'd be so pissed if somebody threw a drink in my face like that. That wasn't a friendly prank.

WTF - how the hell did Jessica win, she was at the consistently at the bottom of Jokers HG ratings until 6 days ago.
Elena is all makeup. Painted on and definitely some aftermarket parts attached there.So am I the only one who thinks Elena is like 90% plastic?
