My favorite alliance name that might not even be an actual alliance but I hope it will be: The Unreliables: Cory, America, Matt, Jag, Blue.
Cory had toyed with this name a few times, prior to this current situation. When he was pretending to be on the outs with America, he told Izzy that he felt like she was UNRELIABLE. (lol)
But they haven’t all agreed on a name or anything. Yet.

Here is an interesting statistic:
From BB21 through BB25, men have won 70% of HOH comps & 75% of POV comps.
So far this season, out of 13 competitions, 2 were won by women, Reilly and Felicia.
When we talk about fairness and representation, CBS/BB really need to review their competitions and figure this out.

One thing they could look at, is maybe NOT have a wall comp when you cast a couple of middle aged women. We all know that they will be out right away. Like, there is obviously no chance for them when young, fit 27 year olds are their competitors.
Or, don’t have a comp that requires hearing when you cast a deaf contestant.
This isn’t rocket science.

Amen Rosem. Apparently, CBS has still got a lot to learn. The only way it changes is to let them know we are tired of it. We all know that women have not reached equality either and my fear is that it will take way longer than I am alive to see it come to fruition. Jared not being removed for his comment earlier in the season and his comment to Matt yesterday are unacceptable.

Oh that is funny Bubbles. Minute Men just sounds like a personal problem to me regardless of how Minute is pronounced LOL

Ha, good one, Bubbles!
EM, the more I think about this, the angrier I get. A competition that gives huge power to someone in the game is immediately out of reach for 2 contestants.
I know that people are going to say, well BB isn’t fair, but it sure seems more “fair” for some.

EM, I thought the same on Minute Men. I am surprised that they didn't think that name could be taken as a quickie sort of connotation.😂

I am tired going to bed. Tomorrow is Veto and then we can see how all play out until Monday. Hope it is interesting, but I don't know what could be better than this last week watching light bulbs go on, fear taking a back seat to the game and how the gloating became agony for some. Pay back is a (you know what).

The biggest problem with the wall is they had fixed handles... all at the same height, they should have been adjusted for each persons height.
But I suspect CBS doesn't like to pay the overtime for people to watch a long comp. By not making it an equal challenge for everyone the comp ends earlier.
You could see that the short people couldn't get a comfortable grip, and normally the small thin HG's have a better chance at the wall comps. So it is very odd that all the tallest people were the remaining HG's.

IDK, when I read "Minute Men" all I could think of was the song "60-Minute Man" playing while Susan Sarandon and Kevin Costner played in "Bull Durham."

I felt it very offensive to have them wear gas masks, when they know full well that Matt reads lips, they keep saying they are doing better, but keep doing worse and worse, it is ridiculous

They didn't wear the masks except at certain times and didn't seem like they were talking game.

Tessa, during a meeting between Jared,Cirie and Matt last night (apparently 7 deadly sins reconnection without Izzy, so only 6) Jag had not arrived yet and no Felicia. Meme came up to the HOH and Cirie and Matt hid in the bathroom while she talked to Jared. Was Meme on recon?
If they use this to scare Matt I will come unglued, because only Cirie and Jared could hear the conversation. They know he can't hear well and hiding in the bathroom where he can't read their lips is hinky for me. Are they going to try and say Matt was there and heard the whole thing? Or they didn't want her to know who was up there? What was the purpose?

I am just curious since we know Jared has no respect for people with disabilities.

I would like Jared out next week. I wouldn't mind Jag leaving this week. Jared is one of the worst players ever on BB. I don't think he helped his Mom much at all.
It sounded like Cam really needs the stipend money. I actually have enjoyed the week of chaos. I hope he can hang around longer. If he can make it past this week and Jared is out next week, he will make jury. I think Jared should have taken his deal. At least, take it and decide if the moment is there where he could go up.
I am not on the Jag, Matt, Blue, Cory, and America bandwagon.
I also agree about the comps leaning towards men winning. Maybe just make them more crap shoots and puzzles.

When Matt and Cirie were alone in the HOH room last night Matt was throwing America under the bus HARD advocating Cory stay if the two remained on the block after veto. I hope Cam's chip gets picked today because neither Cory or America will pick him as "Houseguest's choice". I hope he wins and takes America down. America would not lie to him last night about picking him for veto - better than the so called "brave men" in the house.

Comps definitely have changed. Look at this stat:
"BB2 through BB13 had a much more even ratio with men winning 51% of HOH comps and 53% of POV comps"
Obviously something happened. You can't deny the numbers, production really needs to look at what they're doing wrong.

Now the question is who is actually working with who? There are a lot of different little groups overlapping with other little groups..LOL Who is actually with Cam? Last I checked it was Cory and America, Jag separately, Jared (maybe), Bowie (maybe). None are actual alliances, except Meme and Felisha, playing outside Brown Sugar. I am still confused. LOL

Julieboo, I just can't take Jag. I would like him to go. He talks too much about the same thing over and over. He seems like a really nice guy.
I don't really have a clear favorite. It's not obvious like Dr. Will or Dan.
Cam is the one playing the most entertaining game so far.

Approximately 7:35 - 7:55 was the wake-up call. All feeds are currently on the HOH room with Cirie, Matt, Jag and Felicia there with Blue and Jared still laying in bed.

Felicia, Cirie, Jag, Matt, Blue and Jared all put their hands in and name their alliance:
"Not A Thing"
What?!??! Was "ForRealForReal" already taken?
