By the way: who will be going home tomorrow? Is it a done deal? What chance that will change within 30 hours?

We don't know if Kyle had those conversations with others who have left the game, but most of them are bi-racial or from other cultures.

He said on feeds he wanted to wait after the veto.

Julie, I wish I could say "KYLE" without a shadow of a doubt, but I don't trust Terrance or Alyssa, and that leaves the deciding factor Monte.

We know that Michael saw it as purely gameplay, how??
And prior to playing veto would not be the time to reveal anything.
After Michael won veto, there was an incredibly good chance that Monte would be rep nom, so now Turner would look like he agreed with Kyle and was targeting two of the remaining black houseguests.
So that added to why this was revealed, to save allies, but to allow Turner to be aware of Kyle's continued agenda.
Whistle blowing or reporting has to be done when there is some possibility of resolution, or there are just more victims.
Kyle is willing to reveal all alliances and ruin other games and is willing to lie to ruin games..and since he is going to jury there is no real game benefit for Kyle, just getting revenge and taking the spotlight off himself.

Kyle used the words of another houseguest against them to get his alliance further in the game. That is the point of BB, to get further in the game. Michael did nothing wrong, in fact, his waiting only cements the issue was one he hoped never to have to use. That speaks to his character. Should he not have made a move because of what the issue was? Not to me, that responsibility was on Kyle
There was also the twist week, which separated the houseguest which made it even harder to address anything.
One could argue that Monte too is using the race issue, but he's using it against Michael for his own game, go Monte!
This issue has gone around in circles for days, not sure anyone is going to change their minds so I'll end my comments on it with Go Michael, go Brit go Monte and Go Taylor!

This show is usually about lies and deceptions and not about PSA announcements.

Are you saying that if someone said something to you privately, and you told them why you thought it was wrong, your very next step would be to put them on blast? Really?
No I’m not saying that at all. A large amount of time passed while Kyle continued to say things (repeatedly). Michael remained silent until it was to his advantage to reveal it. He told Brittany they had something they could use against Kyle when the timing was right. That sounds like someone who wants to win a game, not someone who is concerned about racism. In the quoted conversation with Kyle, they talk about optics. They weren’t telling Kyle that it was wrong or bad. They told him it “looked” bad.
Anyway, Michael is human and playing a game. They all are.
I’ll add that Michael is playing a very good game.

I'm not sure what or why this is a PSA Announcement.
Agree Lucas, done with beating a dead horse. I love your final 4. I would have added Turner, but he agreed to allow them to blame everything on Joseph, my favorite of all and my eye candy, so BOO Turner.

Michael and Brittnay made their announcement to each individual privately except for Terrance. After it was made in a house meeting, Brittany went to Terrance and told him. Why was Terrance excluded? I don't know if Michael ever discussed anything with Terrance.

A large amount of time passed while Kyle continued to say things (repeatedly)
What is a "large" amount of time? I only saw August 5, at which point the DR also called him in and warned him, and August 17th (when he talked to Brittany). Are there more occasions when Kyle mentioned this and I'm not aware?
Also, the convo with Brittany was only one day before the house split, so they were out of touch with Kyle for a full week.
Another way of saying Michael waited until it was to his advantage is to say, Michael waited until it would make a difference in the game, ie, Kyle had turned on him and was trying to get Turner to put up two POC for eviction. 
I don't think it's fair to say Michael wasn't concerned about racism. And telling Kyle it looked bad was just being gentle. Brittany clearly said "I won't be part of that." The Michael conversation is cut off, so we don't know fully what Michael said (at least I don't, but I'd be happy to see a longer clip if someone has it).
I still don't know what Michael was expected to do. He was in an alliance with Kyle. Was Michael supposed to blast Kyle and make himself the target as soon as it happened? Even after Michael seemed to think he might have steered Kyle, his alliance member, differently?
And when it became clear that didn't happen, I think it was fine to say it at the time he did. When two POC would have been nominated. In fact, he did Kyle, and Turner, a favor, by saying it when he did.

A public service announcement (PSA) is a message in the public interest disseminated by the media (Michael and Brittany) to raise public awareness and change behavior.

Someone needs to check on Brittany. She has had that look on her face for over an hour now, maybe longer.

Well like I said, it was brilliant gameplay on Michael’s part. One of the biggest bombshell turnarounds in the history of BB.

I enjoy Turner as well Earthmother, but haven't enjoyed him as much since the twist. Not all his fault, those in the backyard were really put at a disadvantage, but they rallied... until Michael blew up their plan to vote out one of his alliance members.

I know what a PSA is. I still don't understand your point , Codebear. Are you saying anything goes even things that are not moral because it somehow is a game and should not be used because if implies Political correctness? Morality has nothing to do with political correctness. We don't throw our morals and values out the door just because we are on a reality tv show. There are certain things that jump the shark regardless.

EM - I swear you're in my head lately and typing out my exact same thoughts - right down to agreeing with you about Joseph being my eye candy, and your favs and the reason Turner is no longer on it.

OH talking Netflix shows. I love Ozark, and Stranger Things. They talk about Breaking Bad a lot; I should watch it. Nephew died from meth addiction and Breaking Bad was a popular show at the time, so I never felt comfortable watching it.
