Cam and Izzy have not liked each other since day 1. I do not think he went after Izzy for Jared. In fave he might have been using Jared to finally get Izzy out for his own game.

Mama, It fit his narrative. He was happy to accommodate his best friend in the house. He was given permission to go after her without repercussion from Jared. Not that Cam didn't want her out, they can't stand each other.

Ah, it's that time of year when the watchers turn into disliking just about everything about BB.
Don't like the HGs.
Don't like the twists.
Don't like the competitions.
Don't like the producers.
Don't like the broadcasts.
Don't like them being on slop.
Also don't like them getting to have pie while on slop.
Don't like the feeds or "button boy."
Don't like how the HGs treat each other (even tho they do this. every. year.)
Really don't like ANY of the HGs and especially how the HGs play the game.
I could go on. And yet, y'all are still watching? Must be the game we love to hate. 
Personally, I'm just along for the ride. It's okay to not like it all (I'm not criticizing, just making an observation, you get to have your opinions!!), but it's at the point where I'll read less because the last thing I need in my life right now is negative post after negative post.
And sadly, that also means I won't be doing any more live feed transcription, so I will leave it up to those of you more suited for it and more resilient, and less apt to find all the negativity bringing you down. I'm just not very resilient these days. 
Love you all. Peace, out.

Feeds are on Izzy, Cirie and Matt in the bathroom area. Cory and America in their beds. America get up. Felicia is busy in the kitchen.

I don't mind twists but like the twin twist, I think secret connections should have a time limit. There comes a point then when it is no longer competitive and is a predictable road to completion

Will miss your posts and opinions Karuuna, but totally understand how the negativity can bring you down. This year started out bad for me as soon as I saw Cirie in the house AND then found out she had her son there too. Just not fair, worst twist ever IMO!!

I just report what I see. Of course I am biased, but we all are, can't help that. There are a lot of negative things that happen on the feeds, and it wouldn't be honest to sugar coat it or ignore it. But that doesn't mean I'm not enjoying the feeds (I will always hate the TV show, that's not been a secret). I am enjoying the heck out of the feeds this season, the good and the bad.
ETA: I completely understand, Karuuna, don't do things that bring you down. But I'll miss ya, I like sparring with you!

Just to be clear, I'll miss you all too, maybe I'll start a positivity thread... LOL.
But I have stage 4 cancer, and while currently dormant, I need to be protective of my own mental health these days.

Kar, I don't think we have been given a chance to really know anything up until now. I just want an even playing field. I don't care who goes. Not having a secret that no one knows about is not a fair playing field. There is no one playing in this comp (Cam can't play) so there will be no advantage. They are all hungry and tired, and they will all get to play. That is what I want. I don't care who wins HOH, now as long as it's not Jared. His ego is draining, and I can't stand him. We will have to listen to him for a whole week on every feed.
Kar I had no idea. Positivity is a must for you.
I hope this year you don't have to moderate as much and we have learned how to be civil. I agree We posters are all pretty much on the same page right now and that is our least favorite player is Jared. I just know I like Cam and America because they had the guts to speak up. They gave us a game without sides for the most part.

Ah Karuuna, I did not know that. Keep fighting, and may it forever stay dormant!

It will also give us a chance to see Bowie navigate for herself depending on how the vote goes this week. Smart of Cam to keep stuff from her and Meme, to make them really trust no one, but him. So he has a number one, like everyone else.

Oh, Karuuna, so sorry to hear that, hang in there, and I echo Mama's comment: may it forever stay dormant.

When the twins went in the house back in the DNA season, they had a time limit. Something like, “keep the secret for 5 weeks and you get to play as yourself”. As much as the other secret connections seem unfair, it’s what all the houseguests signed up for. “Expect the Unexpected”. If the powers that be told Cirie and Jared that their relationship was their own secret to keep or not to keep, then revealing it to the other housemates can be just as “unfair” to them as keeping it might seem to some for others. I personally like that it’s lasted this long. Secrets in the BB house usually flop…remember back when there was a mole? (Not the “sabo-twa” of season one! Lol) that lasted all of one week.
I’m curious about Cory. I feel like he might be dissing America(HG) just to ensure their showmance isn’t seen as problematic. If everyone else thinks they’re just snuggle buddies and not exchanging information, they can lay low for a bit.
I love Cirie. No apologies.
Having said that, I also enjoy watching the downfall of hubris… but this time I’m hoping to see a Dustin face on Cam when they keep Izzy. And I hope to watch Cam try to find a way NOT to get nominated, even though he will be. I’d LOVE to see Cirie win an individual competition. If she does, they should have Jeff Probst come on the tv in the living room to congratulate her! As it stands, her ne’er-do-well son already has her beat by TWO!
IF America(hg) can get to finale night, I think she has a great chance of winning. Especially if the jury gets together and realizes she had a finger on the pulse the whole time. Cam especially will reward her honesty even if he didn’t want to believe or trust at the time.

There is one positive thing about Big Brother, it's only on once a year.

I am looking at this week as a restart of the season, except everyone is a couple already and they all have secrets. Let's go.

Just imagine what this season could have been if Luke wasn't kicked out, and Hisam stayed. Those 2, Cam and Red would have probably bro'd out together and Cirie, Jared and Izzy would not be running this season. Who knows.

And Karuna, we’ve got your back! I’m a cancer survivor, too, and you are absolutely right about keeping your mental space positive. If you start a positivity thread, I will participate!
These houseguests are often really sweet. Last night I watched Jared, Izzy, and Blue touch base and make sure they were all on same page(initiated by Izzy) and before Izzy left them she looked at Blue and asked, “you don’t have anything on your face right now, do you? That’s just your skin? You are beautiful.” And I loved that moment. Especially since a few of us have mentioned how Blue’s skincare is wonderfully effective. And seems to be something Blue really cares about. I bet it made her feel good. No question of sincerity when it is such a truth.

I really try not to root for anyone any more as I find it really gets to me if certain individuals are mistreated. Now I just look at it as a game and realize they will all (mostly) be friends after.
I do appreciate the posters here as they are respectful of others.
Rosem4243 - your posts make me chuckle as I'm watching with a bit of a delay on Pluto.

I totally agree that everyone really doesn't like Jared. Everything he does is the wrong way to play.
But I do not like Cam or America. Yes, they are smart. When Cam asked America to dance for him and she did it then they lost me. The way Cam speaks down to people and is a know it all really annoys me. America does know what is happening around her, but sadly doesn't have any support from anyone, including Cory.
Every year I don't have Favs because they usually go too soon so I don't get attached to any of them.

One thing today will bring joy for me is Felicia not giving her conspiracy theories to Izzy. Izzy will not relax until the vote, so she can sweat a little, and hopefully start playing her own game. It's a win either way. I had high hopes for Izzy. She loves this game, I don't want her dream taken from her, but she is going to have to work hard. It is not going to be a blow out vote, she will see Cam is not the only one who wants her out. That hopefully opens her darn eyes. I don't want her to play anyone's game but hers. She will have to get rid of Jared if she wants Cirie to be her number one.

If Izzy goes, the next HOH should put up Jared and Felicia. If one of them are vetoed, then put up Cirie. I hope the house doesn't go after Cameron.

Aww, thx, Stray_cat!
This house is down bad. I cannot wait for the slop diet to end tonight. Everyone is just sitting around, miserable. They're probably all constipated.
The dumb stink-o-meter is still happening, and it was slightly funny the first time, and has become so UNfunny that it is in negative territory.
Karuuna has inspired me to find something positive to try to counteract the negative parts.
Here goes: I will participate in the joy the HG feel when they are finally able to eat, by raiding my pantry and eating all the food, just like them.

I think America and Cam have a true friendship and neither are acting inappropriately. It is silly banter.

Thanks all for the kind thoughts. I'll start that positivity thread later today. Not sure yet how it will work, but let's try.
