Oh I totally agree there is no point being upset about what might happen. I was just a bit upset because I really liked Nick and wanted him to stay because I feel he'd be a great late game player. He seemed to have a potential to be a "new Dan" and he wouldn't have a good chance showing that until later in the game. He was a sad casualty for a good cause though I suppose. I'm glad the Moving Company is broken up and it'll be great to watch the fallout of Nick leaving.

With all that said I'm still undecided on the MVP. It just seems fishy that they would bring in one of the most beloved players sister the year the implement it.

Nah, a "new Dan" would never have been back-doored. Dan's magic was his ability to sit under the radar.

MVP is nerfed. As a result, it is kind of boring. It's BB but with having the same HOH every week.

Imagine having the mvp on some past seasons. Jeff as MVP every week... Meh, hopefully it's a one season twist.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Spoiler

Sounds like Spencer and Howard did plan to pin it on Jessie.

 

[MLCodest]

Of course he wasn't nearly as good as Dan in hindsight but he did see the game well and just found himself in a really bad situation early on. I just would have liked to see how he grew as a player if he had stayed in the house longer.

Instead of vilifying and voting out the homophobe, we'd reward him with unlimited power!

I thought Nick had the potential to be a Dan-like player for about a day or two, but he's just not that type of player. Nick was a guy who thought he could get by on half-way decent strategy, but he had ZERO communication skills. When it came time to get people not in his alliance (not named GM) to do what he wanted, he wilted. At the end of the day, Nick was a worse version of Matt Hoffman, the brains of a group that was never as smart as he thought, who was eliminated when deemed not necessary

 

[Trigger]

lol, I wasn't a believer in Howard as a good under the radar player at first. I'm seeing it tonight tho.

Fair enough. Honestly, I think we've seen the extent of his game.

(Note: I don't really followed feeds or livestreams)

That's how I started to feel as time went by. He had his DR persona which was super smart and cocky but it almost seemed like he didn't want to be there at times. He just looked awkward a lot of the time and would stick to the people he knew well. Alas can't wait for Sunday to see how it all turns out.

 

[Incognito]

Damn, that was a boss episode. I was pretty pissed about the events of last Thursday and the veto so I tuned out everything totally expecting Elissa to be sent home when to my surprise... Epic!

 

[RepairmanJack]

GM is seriously sitting by herself where Nick was sitting on the couch crying...

 

[Officerrob]

Staring at his hat that is dangling on her foot, she really needs help

 

[Velcro Fly]

Maybe her play is pity so that she doesn't get put up this week?

 

[CitizenCope]

Best week 2 episode ever! I didn't even mind Nick. It was really just some of the people that wanted Elissa out that I wanted to feel the pain.

 

[Phreaker]

Haha at GM, she might need a wambulance!

(Yes, I had to buy live feeds after tonight's show)

Spoiler

Is Howard acting like he voted Nick out?

Totally!

With a little alcohol, we might be looking at a Nick "funeral"

 

[Trigger]

Spoiler

Damn, poor GM. lol, her own alliance isn't even comforting her. Helen is.

 

[CitizenCope]

Damn I want to but it kind of ruins the surprises of the network episodes that I watch with the wife.

Which should tell her a lot, but it won't

 

[CambriaRising]

Lol

Spoiler

Jessie and Kaitlyn don't want to play anymore. Buncha babies. Even weirder considering Jessie's vote.

FTFY

 

[lamaroo]

I agree with others here that the MVP will get real old unless it switches to the other side of the house, which is basically 3 unlikable people.

Even if it was overpowered, at least it existed on the opposite side of the power alliance.

 

[InfiniteBento]

Spoiler

-Aaryn, GM, and Kaitlin had a pissy pity party.
-Jeremy was pretty mad, but acted classy.
-GM went sobbing into the kitchen to ask why Nick was back doored.
-Helen and co celebrating in the HOH

Oh dip. Thanks!

 

[Phreaker]

Yes, that it does. I only bought the live feeds once before and it did ruin the surprise for sure. I might only watch it after live shows for a bit as so not ruin too much.

Get rid of replacement nominations and the twist works perfectly.

 

[Fantastical]

Yes, that it does. I only bought the live feeds once before and it did ruin the surprise for sure. I might only watch it after live shows for a bit as so not ruin too much.

But the live feeds are so much more interesting. I mostly watch them late at night before I go to bed, that's when a lot of shit happens. It does ruin the surprise, but it's very exciting to watch people flip live.

 

[InfiniteBento]

Lol

Spoiler

Jessie and Kaitlyn don't want to play anymore. Buncha babies. Even weirder considering Jessie's vote.

That's ridiculous. Kaitlyn is so lame. She's the type of girl that believes in the "cool kids club" kinda crap, it seems. Her own strategy doesn't exist. She's just piggy-backing Jeremy to the top.
I hope she leaves.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Would make the veto worthwhile because you can counter the MVP that way.

Makes the HOH worthwhile because they can replace nominees.

I like it!

 

[Fantastical]

Are you sure you don't mean Aaryn and not Jessie?

That would have completely switched the game this week. Aaryn would have put up Candice.

Spoiler

McCrae and Amanda talking. They know either Howard or Spencer are lying. Howard blamed Jessie. McCrae knows that Jessie is too weak to flip like that.

 

[InfiniteBento]

How much are the live feeds? I haven't even tried it out. I have it late night on my TV though, I just don't know when it airs.

Yeah, the metagame is fantastic. Also, seeing stuff un-edited is worth it if only to actually understand what's happening.

 

[Officerrob]

Spoiler

McCrae and Amanda know Howard and Spencer split their votes and are trying to pin it on Jessie. Howard got too cute here and it's going to bite him in the ass

 

[Phreaker]

So gross listening to them all chew (they sound like cows)

But the live feeds are so much more interesting. I mostly watch them late at night before I go to bed, that's when a lot of shit happens. It does ruin the surprise, but it's very exciting to watch people flip live.

I did that last time, but every night I'd be like what? Last night you all were going in this direction....like things that are talked about right after HOH never seem to play out that way come nominations or whatever.

 

[CambriaRising]

Spoiler

Are you sure you don't mean Aaryn and not Jessie?

Yeah I got that from a live update, it was mistaken on who said it.

 

[CitizenCope]

Yes, that it does. I only bought the live feeds once before and it did ruin the surprise for sure. I might only watch it after live shows for a bit as so not ruin too much.

Then on the other hand I can be watching it before I go to sleep and catch something live that keeps me awake until 2am. Like the one year I did get it and that gay guy pulled an absolute nutty and got physical. Sorry that's a bit vague but I'm not good with names. I don't know maybe I do need to buy it.

 

[Fantastical]

How much are the live feeds? I haven't even tried it out. I have it late night on my TV though, I just don't know when it airs.

Either $26 or $27 for the season or $10 a month. Watching people scheme simultaneously in different rooms is strangely addicting. I wish I didn't like this as much as I did, but it's definitely a guilty pleasure.

 

[blackaroni]

Lol:

Spoiler

from jokers: Aaryn saying she looks like an idiot now, Jeremy said him too he is a communication major and not doing a good job at it, he needs more classes that there are a bunch of great actors here.

Jeremy absolutely sucks at communicating with people who have functioning brains. He tries to force them into something and that he wants instead going about it differently.

 

[Trigger]

I want Judd and Jessie to hook up and become the house's invisible power couple, lol.

EDIT- lol, GM will drive Kaitlin and Aaryn crazy this week.

"I just want to be happy!"

 

[Officerrob]

Spoiler

Amanda and McCrea are running this house

 

[Nuklear]

Spoiler

Amanda just figured out Howard's vote and them trying to pin it on Jessie. This woman is too good at snuffing shit out.

 

[Fantastical]

YES. I would be so happy if it was a Jessie and Judd final 2, lol. Secretly working from behind Jessie's cluelessness and Judd's slurring speech.

Spoiler

I actually feel sorry for GM. She's taking it really personally, it's very obvious that she is not happy with her life, and she's likely never had someone that actually loves her.

Spoiler

Amanda just figured out Howard's vote and them trying to pin it on Jessie. This woman is too good at snuffing shit out.

Spoiler

It's a stupid lie by Howard and Spence. Why the hell would Jessie flip like that? She's not smart or strong enough in this game. She desperately needs a group to be with.

I feel bad for her too. I know where she is coming from sadly.

Spoiler

I don't like that they keep feeding her and giving her hope though when they console her. That will hurt her even more when she is out of house.

 

[Ovid]

Aaryn is pure evil. She shows no empathy towards GM at all.

I like her so much. She's so good at calling people on shit.

You have to give her credit for not instantly blaming Spencer. It seemed like it would have happened no matter what.

 

[Trigger]

Aaryn is pure evil. She shows no empathy towards GM at all.

I'm also amused at how angry she is that Jeremy is trying to keep it classy. He's the only one trying to think ahead and not contemplate quitting.

 

[Nuklear]

I legit do feel bad for GM. It seems like it is more than just Nick she is crying about. I know she's said some really bad stuff but I feel really bad for her.

She just hasn't had very good luck with relationships. She has mentioned it before on the streams. She thinks she found someone that just didn't want to sleep with her and was genuine. That is a very heat-crushing experience for most people when their person of interest is just up and gone.

 

[Fantastical]

I legit do feel bad for GM. It seems like it is more than just Nick she is crying about. I know she's said some really bad stuff but I feel really bad for her.

She has said some of the absolute worst stuff in this house, but yeah she has some serious issues and it feels kinda gross to be watching them play out like this. She's said stuff before that has made me wonder about her, but she desperately needs some sort of help in her life. This is not a rational response for someone you met a couple of weeks ago.

I post so much in this thread that I spoiler random posts I make in other threads now.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Hahahahahahaha Aaryn right now.

Spoiler

"If she wins the money good. She'll need it, because she'll never be able to get a job." If only you were talking about yourself there Aaryn...

"now I look like an idiot, because I believed people."....Yup, that's why...
