I’ll go out on a limb and predict that Jag wins HOH, Matt wins veto and they evict Bowie since she served her purpose tonight, and is no longer needed.
Then they get to drag the two “old ladies” to the end where they easily win the final comps. Matt wins final HOH, takes Cirie thinking he can beat her with jury votes, he’s wrong and Cirie wins.

To be fair, while I agree that most of the comps are more physically geared to men, there were several comps that the women could have won. It’s hard to tell this year especially as I think so many of them didn’t want to win. I don’t know if it was Reilly being voted out after winning the first HOH or what, but how many times have we heard them say I didn’t feel in danger so why get blood on my hands. A few that come to mind - the pressure cooker, the mini veto, the wall, true/false HOHs, the one early on with creepy houses in the lot, the deranged dentist - all could have been won by anyone. Face it, we just had a bunch of women that worried more of how they looked than actually playing BB.

Wonderful news Earthmother about your biopsy. Yes, ladies get those mammogram and also check in the mirror for puckers or dimpling of the skin around the breast. I was not told that and had a huge pucker but not noticed it under my breast. Get checked!
I'm guessing Jag will win and if it's Cirie and Bowie, Matt decides who goes. Is that right?

BBPeach, they have hardly had any comps that didn't involve running/sprinting. I can only think of 2 Q&A's, the tiny veto (didn't they do that one) and the crap shoot one that Felicia won.
Even the puzzles have entailed running, that makes them a physical comp that the strong young men will are best suited for. And the zipline ones require upper body strength which is not a female strength.
It would be nice if they did more "sedentary" comps. They should have done that comp where they had to lay in boxes for 5 minutes and the person who was closest to the time but didn't go over won.
And what about the passing the eggs thru the chicken wire, comps like that that don't involve running to get the puzzle pieces. Oh and they have those ones where they have to guess when things happen and spin a wheel to get the answer.
They hardly have any comps that don't involve being very physically fit anymore.

So I had to go count, we have had approximately 30 comps and 5 haven't been physical, if I remembered correctly, LOL.
I just remembered the hold the button down one.

But like tonight's comp, which I haven't seen yet.. apparently they could have done the same comp without stairs and pitting Felicia against an olympian (even if deaf olympics isn't exactly The Olympics).. younger, stronger, trained muscles.. Felicia could have been permanently injured, same with Cirie, on stairs. And stairs are the cause of many an injury. I was injured on my own stairs when I was Bowie's age, took out my ACL and that was a huge setback. especially since I got bad advice from an orthopedic specialist to not get surgery and was working where it was competitive and taking time off wasn't encouraged, so it was years until I had surgery. Felicia and Cirie are older than I was.
And for some comps some people didn't get to play so who knows if they could have won, but in the last years the comps have gotten more physical.
This year they put in an older player or two but really handicapped them with a bunch of fit guys. Oh and two of those same guys got evicted and returned so they got a redo.
All the talk of Cirie's advantage, part of that was also a disaadvantage and other people got other advantages.
The ziplines not only require upper body strength but then they have to drop and getting up is harder and legs are more effected.
I hope Matt gets some energy from his Jag-saving POV and wins HOH and he has said that is when to turn on Jag. Will he? Probably not.
If Jag is HOH, he would break a tie, and he could also win POV. Ugh.

I think Jag and maybe Matt are convinced that they can more easily beat Bowie Jane/

I've broken myself twice on stairs -- when I was a lot younger than now -- which is why my condo has absolutely ZERO stairs in or out. There was no way any of them were going to beat Matt for that veto. Not even Jag.
Anyone besides me think Cirie threw that HOH comp?

I live in a townhome, so there are stairs inside, but pretty flat coming in in front or back. When I broke my leg in 2021 the stairs were a challenge for sure. Prior to then I could do stairs easily. I'm back to stairs often but not running..
At least they got rid of that dangerous circular staircase in the BB house.

I noticed Matt at times didn’t even use the stairs when going down them—he grabbed the handrails on either side of the stairs, and leapt/swung himself from the top to the bottom without touching any stairs!

Oh, I haven't seen the show yet but I will.. yeah.. that would make a huge difference. I can understand why the podcast was rolling eyes, even the two who are excited for Jag to be on the show and represent (Sasha being Indian and Pooya being middle eastern)..

So now the threshold is not just fair to women, but can’t be something older overweight women can’t do? Considering they are both still there, I don’t think it has exactly hurt them. My point is, there’s very few of these comps that the Janelles/Rachel’s/Danielles and many others couldn’t have won. This group of women just aren’t up to par, whereas there are more all around competitive men this season. And just for the record, I am also an older overweight woman who would not do well in many of these comps! 🤪

Feeds Back, Matt won
of course he did.
All cameras on Jag Matt Bowie.
Bowie is incredibly giddy. Want a camera on Felecia and Cirie packing their bags.
Cirie will be ALL OVER Matt to get Jag out like they talked about

ohhhh, Matt.. he wants Jag out at final 4, not 5. So...
The Rachels, Danielles (did she win much?) and Janelles were considerably younger and the competitions were more diverse in terms of strength.
As they have diversified the cast, they have clung to making the comps harder, physically. Then the HG work to remove the comp beasts. Two of those were evicted and returned to play more, including Jag, due to twists.

These woman who haven’t won any/many comps are only there in the house BECAUSE they haven’t won any/many… they are the goats being taken to end, to be slaughtered by the guys who’ve dominated the comps/decisions… their final speeches will be to compare their résumé’s with the goats’ and hope the jury will reward work/wins over cooking, misting, working out…who knows?

Jag is whispering to Bowie (in the scary room) about the HOH competition. He said Cirie had 3 balls, Matt had 2, and he had 1. He said he knocked some of Cirie's balls out so she couldn't win. They continue to talk strategy in whispers, and it is hard to hear them.
Felicia is lying down in the living room with her arms crossed staring out into the room.

Jag going on and on about how he chose Matt and Bowie for team players when Cam and others were still here. Bowie just keeps saying "Yeah" to everything Jag says.

Felicia went into the comic room and Cirie is already in bed there.
Matt must be in the diary room, he hasn't been on the feeds.

Jag and Bowie have been talking about past conversations when others were in the house.
Felicia is sitting up in her bed staring out at the room. She tells Cirie that Matt just came out of the diary room.

Jag is detailing the conversation he had with Blue before the show started. He told her he didn't want this eviction to come between their friendship. She replied that it wouldn't, but she hoped that he would be the next one out.
Matt comes into the room.

Jag leaves to go to the bathroom and Matt and Bowie slap hands together. Matt: "Good job." Bowie likewise says Matt did good. Feeds switch to the scramble room where there is no one there.
