Strategist because if you are not a physical winner then you are not smart enough to win in their minds. Some of the dumbest people I know have the biggest muscles. Women are never given credit for their accomplishments. Just like dealing with race and xenophobia perhaps it's time to really dig into sexism. I guess using the skills you have are just not WINNER worthy.

They are all are playing the game. When talking about Brittany getting the end riding Michael’s coattail, Jordan was brought up so there was a comparison. I don’t know if those posters are here now, it was a long time ago but there were tons of daily comments on her intelligence. making fun of her comments. I remember because it bothered me.

For me it’s not whether they are women or men. I don’t care for players that get carried to the end by someone else. Some men have done that. I think Kaycee had a great balance of both strength in winning comps and she had a great social game. That’s how she won. Tiffany was one of the most strategic female players we’ve seen. It was just unfortunate that she had a greater cause that cost her the game. Vanessa, IMO was one of the best players BB has had but she got screwed in the end. That same thing could have happened to Derrick if Cody would have went for the win instead of loyalty. Victoria was not a good look for female BB players.

EM, I also agree with ALL of your posts, spot on. And I as well don't remember a lot of negative posts about Jordan. I loved her and I think I would remember. So...there might have been a couple but I just passed over those negative comments as I do now lol.

I also thought Jordan was beloved by this whole site. Maybe it was possibly discussed that although she was a darling, she didn’t “deserve” to be in F2 or win BB? That’s the risk you take when you drag someone to the final whom you don’t consider a threat based on comp wins! WE all knew Jordan was likely to win… I follow her on Instagram and she is EXACTLY the same: adorable inside and out, and presents an HONEST view of her life and family—the good AND the bad!

Jordan was pretty much loved by everyone. However, I don’t think many people felt she was playing much of a strategic competitive game. Being well liked was her game and it certainly worked for her!

I do remember Jordan being very “unaware” of things most people just know as life experience/common sense. Jeff would (good-naturedly) laugh, correct her, or kindly use teachable moments. She was a good sport… they were a perfect pair. I’m sure she’s more “worldly” now, living in Denver with 2 little boys has made her grow/learn yet she still remains the girl with high morals and great interpersonal skills.

I love Jordan. Out in the backyard, Jeff asked her what kind of animal would she be. She said she would want to be a squirrel because they get to hang out in parks. Bless her heart. How the heck is anyone continuing to want Kyle to stay. I'm listening to the overnight conversations.

I think I would use the word "endearing" to describe Jordan. So to see "a good girl" on a show that relies on lies and deception was a breath of fresh air, at least for me. I am just saying being a physical threat isn't always a great strategy, unless you also are smart, which is why they are so afraid of Michael. For those two women Brit and Taylor who better to team up with. He will always be a target, but they are not at all considered dangerous. Listen to these guys when they get together, they are always concerned with those who are a physical threat and brains, or personality don't seem so scary. Macho man mentality gets in the way of being able to see yourself getting played.

I know that probably most will not agree with me, but it seems to me that the guy in the best position now is Monte. He can choose who he wants to go (IMHO best for him to vote out Kyle, who is more competition than Taylor), and neither side will take revenge on him, and will still look to him as a vote. He can use the race thing to vote out Kyle, and I really believe that Turner (and maybe even Allyssa and Terrence)would understand. If he votes out Taylor, it would be more problematic, given Michael’s strong chance at HOH next week. Voting out Taylor would draw a line that’s probably best (for him) to not draw this week. I think he has benefited most from the whole thing and it has most likely bought him at least a week. At least I hope so, he’s one of my favorites!

You are right Lindacleles. He is also in a real pickle. He knows he's in jeopardy either way. I think he has to weight the benefits of jury vote and how his decision will impact him at home. I like Monte and would not be unhappy if he was at the end either. I always have a wish that someone I think has a moral compass and can use logic should win. Not everyone makes their judgements that way, but I will admit that if you are overly abrasive or just mean spirted when it's not game will never be on my favorites list.

Last night Michael, Taylor and Brit were outside talking and got silly. They decided not to name their alliance, but came up with some funny ones. They came up with two that I heard and that was Smelly Salad and Chunky Milk. They were cracking each other up.

Everyone allied with Michael has thought of when he should be targeted. Even Brittany. Lindaceles, yes, Monte is in a very good spot with everyone, though I think Kyle poses more danger if he stays. my message to you went to the email you used to register here. If that has changed, you can contact the moderator account to get it updated. But if you tap on my name, in my profile is my email address and if you email me, I will send you the message.

Alyssa and Terrance are playing as hard as they can to keep Kyle. Alyssa is trying to guilt trip those she was not allied with, but it was Kyle who only wanted her to be part of the alliance that never formed that also happened to be all white. She cries about how left out she was, conveniently forgetting that she spent most time with girls girls and Po's pack.. which she ratted out to Kyle and he ratted to the other side, and forgets that from jump she was working Kyle to be in Showmance and then spent hours canoodling with Kyle. She is not Jordan. Brittany has never said a word about Jordan. I have only checked in on Jeff and Jordan now and then and they seem to be a great couple. They had a great sense of humor . Terrance is also playing the I was left out card, which Monte has mentioned. And Taylor says Terrance is trying to be the mentor uncle, but she is not buying it. Kyle, who is horrified to be labeled a racist, now thinks Terrance is the best person he has ever met! He chooses the misogynist who has uttered the nastiest of derogatory words especially about Taylor and Joseph. But they are painting Brittany and Michael as almost demonic. Kyle they want to treat as a wounded puppy. Oh, and a shield in the game.

Wow I had no idea Alyssa is taller than Taylor. She seems tiny to me. I am shorter than Indy and I thought she was closer to my 5ft. She is 5'3.

Fan3 that is what is done in this game. It is also what someone with empathy does. She never called him a racist, she just repeated what he said to her, she doesn't hate him. I'm sure feels bad for him,I know I do, but it doesn't change anything. Who was Terrance talking about while looking at the memory wall and saying "I miss you boy"? The camera went to Joseph, but I don't think after he way he spoke of that boy that he misses him. Either Pooch or Daniel is all I can think of.

Production is hell bent on trying to make us feel sorry for Kyle. They keep cutting away from discussions that are really important in today's culture. It is counter productive.
