This was by far the worst BB episode I have ever watched. Why not keep politics out of BB? This Ross Omarosa talk was the biggest set up I have ever seen. CBS can not leave their hands off anything.

And yes, what were those things under everybody's eyes? I want to know!!! They are eye masks to help reduce wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness.

As soon as I saw that they cast Omarosa, I knew that politics would be a huge part of CBB. Not sure I like my two worlds colliding like this.

I thought Omarosa’s comment to Keshia was a pretty fair comparison.

IMO the comparison was fair except Keshia has known Cosby since she was a baby and because of that her relationship with Cosby was more like family...I doubt Omarosa thinks of dt as her family but, rather, her ticket to $$$. Their motivation for defending is completely different...one because she believes, the other because she thinks it will get her further in HER agenda.

I agree wholeheartedly with those saying a Big Brother show should keep politics out, that Omarosa "never again... vote for him" (whatever) was in very bad taste, in my view, I blame the producers, by showing that they 100% share her view, and I don't need or care about hearing that. They're using Big Brother to influence the viewers, or what the heck are they doing? Shame on them.

I don't know that the producers actually share Omarosa's view, but I do think they want sensational television for ratings. Les Moonves himself said that Trump was good for ratings and ad revenue. So they don't care which side anyone is on, as long as it brings eyeballs to the screen.

For the most part for all the seasons of BB, politics have been held to a minimum. I don't believe politics should be a hush hush topic in the house. What are people afraid of? -having to defend their political ideas? It beats convos about fake lashes, and other beauty product talk.

Listen, If Trump said he wants his good friend Omarosa back in the white house, she would break a heel running through those gates. I wouldn't believe a single word coming out of her mouth. This is her free publicity tour to promote her book that she will be writing. She is a vile person who is absolutely cutthroat and will do and say whatever she needs to to get ahead and get publicity. Honestly if I was in the house, I would be begging her to dish the dirt about what goes on in the WH, I cant think of anyone who wouldnt.

I am enjoying that the cast is not a bunch of spineless sheep. Loved that Chuck went into the DR to open his swag bag and wasn't just doing as he was told. Omarosa actually has a strategic mind. It's a nice surprise. CBS always cashes in on the issue of the day. [i.e. transgender houseguest (Audrey) in the year of Bruce Jenner's transformation] Not surprising. It does not matter what side of the aisle you are on. It keeps everyone talking.

I am really enjoying this season. It feels fresh and new. I can't wait for them to do this again with the celebrities!

Exactly Maris... I so believe she scripted that answer (she knew it would come) for her, to gain sympathy (tears) and ratings (it was replayed everywhere! TMZ, Colbert...). That’s why I loved Ross’ DR, “it’s Omarossa, would you believe her”! The under eye patches, I use those! I have them with argan oil, it’s supposed to help keep puffy eyes down...

I have to say that I stopped watching BB years ago (the season with that nasty father/daughter duo, the guy with all the tattoos who kept spitting all over the back yard--disgusting!), and this is the first time I've watched again since then. The whole reason I came back was BECAUSE of the Ross/Omarosa conversation, so obviously CBS knows what they're doing. It makes me crazy when people say, "Can't we leave politics out of this?" No, we can't. This is the crazy world we live in and we can't just pretend it's not happening. We have to deal with the things going on in DC every day and try to cope the best we can. Sticking our heads in the sand and singing, "La la la, can't hear you!" is not going to help anything.

They are pretty much BB game'rs except for Metta. Shannon is either going to win this or be very surprised in a short period of time. I'm not digging her too much. I'm rooting for Ross and Marissa, right now. Im not enjoying Keisha too much-oh well. Anyway- I missed why Mark is no longer the target? Because he's making deals with people???

I am loving this season already! I like this new Omarosa... I think she does want to get along with everyone and not be the awful person she was. I was glad she came in with a good attitude. Of course she has an agenda but who doesn't? Shannon is a beast! Also love Chuck, he's like a big teddy bear. James is gorgeous! That's all I got to say lol. Can't wait to watch tonight!

I found a bunch of them on Amazon. Search for "undereye puffiness treatment" and you'll find several to choose from. James is pretty, but he's already rubbing me the wrong way. I don't hate him as much as Brandi, though. She needs to go. Soon.

Need: I think Shannon has watched some feeds. The other night she was explaining to the HG the four cameras and you can watch quad but here audio on all four at once so it is hard to follow convos sometimes etc etc. I don't know how much time she devoted to watching but she did know how the LF worked.

Shannon knows a lot about the game, she is friends with EvelDick and has been on his show discussing the previous seasons. Plus I heard her say she had talked to him, so I am sure he gave her some advice.

Coming in late here....just binge watched the first 3 episodes last night. My thoughts on this episode: -I was fascinated watching the conversation between Oma and Keisha. I see what Oma was saying about them being similiar that they both backed up men who use their power to control/manipulate and even rape women, last one was Cosby. However, as someone else mentioned, the comparison is different because Keisha grew up with Cosby so he was like a family member to her. When the whole Cosby thing came out, I didn't want to believe it and even at the beginning thought maybe that woman was doing it for money but when more women came forward, I sadly knew there had to be some truth to it. -The conversation Oma had with Ross made my arm hairs stand up when she whispered,"Be very worried." Oma, why you whispering? This is televised/recorded everyone will know what you just said about the president. LOL I will give her credit for getting out before the ship sank though. For those saying, CBS shouldn't bring politics into BB, why not? It's a reality tv show and that is our climate at the moment. So Oma knew she would have to say 'something'.

I think Omarosa and Ross were whispering so others in the house wouldn't hear them.
