Feeds 1 and 2 on empty scramble room. Feeds 3 and 4 on Jag and Bowie in the scary room in bed with the lights out.

It sounds like Felicia would have totally lost that comp. I’m glad Jag didn’t have to wait very long to find out if he made the wrong decision.
Do we know when they’re doing part 2?
Also, how can you cast middle aged women and then make most of the comps like the Olympics? They accommodated Matt’s deafness (or at least tried to). Why didn’t they accommodate their….oldness?

These competitions were made before the season started and maybe before the cast was selected. None of the comps Matt won were Olympic style unless maybe Part 1. The HOH Matt won was rolling a ball up a ramp. Anyone could have won this one.

Can somebody refresh my memory what type of comps are part two and part three. I think part three is like the a or B question. But I can’t remember part two.

There's still some intrigue the next couple of days- I don't think a Matt/Jag F2 is set in stone.
-Does Jag try and throw Part 2 to Bowie? She's better than him at the type of comp Part 3 usually is..
-If Jag wins Part 2 and 3, does he take the shot at Matt? Taking Bowie is almost a certain win, and he almost did it this weekend (I don't think it was DR manipulation- I think he was really torn about doing it when he didn't 100% have to. Now he has to think about the win).
-Does Matt take the shot at Jag if he wins Part 3? He knows he's got the inferior comp record against him, and Bowie isn't as well liked by the others- taking out Jag might seal the win. (plus he was thinking about it a little earlier)
-Bowie is in a Catch-22; she might not be able to win against either of the guys; Taking out Jag plus her comp record might get her close, but she's been allied with Jag almost all the way.
Once Part 2 is done and we know who's playing Thursday it'll clear up a bit- expect a lot of talking between the other 2 if one's in the DR...

Codebear, that is the exact problem. They need to coordinate the comps so that they are fair for everyone that they cast. The comp creators and casting staff need to talk to each other!
Production fails at this year after year.
If 50% of comps are physical and 50% are “anyone can win”, then the more physical players are set up to win 75% of the comps. Leading to the immense boredom that we’ve suffered through most of the season. How is this “good TV”?
If they want BB to become The Challenge, then they should just only cast athletes.

I get that physical comps look better on the shows- I don't know if there's a way to make it fairer that'll please everyone.
If you try to figure out handicaps based on age and abilities then you'll have people complain that the handicap was too light or too heavy for someone and that it's "rigged". Plus it could make the comp too complicated to follow on the shows.
One thing they need to to is put some women on the comp creation and testing staff- the credits had 4 men doing them.
(Or hire the BB Canada comp staff- they tend to make comps that are way more balanced and look great on TV)

Wilson, I agree that the comps are made for TV, and people running around elaborate sets is more entertaining for a TV show.
I find these edited run-arounds hard to follow, and I get much more tension and suspense out of those Q & A booth comps that we can watch play out in real time.
Maybe I need my own personal BB show!
I also noticed that all the comp creators are men. Maybe this is the key: Hire more women!!!

Until they cast people who are willing to PLAY BB, and not just look for a summer vacation to find a showmance and gain followers, I can’t put all the blame on comps themselves. The women had an advantage in numbers this year, and only a couple were willing to go after other people and get blood on their hands. Most just wanted to hide behind others, hoping they didn’t get noticed.
Kirsten - not there long enough to know
Reilly - not afraid to play so they just had to get her out
Izzie. - talked a big game, but threw HOH to Jared to keep her hands clean
Mecole - no interest in playing except with her hair
Blue - again, a lot of talk but no follow thru
America - no interest in comp wins, relied on the boys to carry her
Cirie - her entire game was mothering the boys looking for them to carry her
Felicia - was willing to try
Bowie Jane - didn’t really want to win, but fell into some wins
The only one of these that I see changing their game if all the comps were built for 5 year olds is maybe Felicia. But I don’t want to watch a show where the comps are built to cater to old ladies.

Feeds went to WBRB at 9:19 and have switched to animals. So if they are waking up the houseguests, they got about 5 hours of sleep.

I would love to watch a show that had comps catered to old ladies, since I am one!

Sharon Tharp reports that the jury roundtable is being held today, with Dr. Will hosting.

With jury roundtable today, that probably means there will be no exit interviews with Felicia.

I just came across this recent video of Reilly watching last night's show:

Made is about 30 seconds into that YouTube of Reilly.. No thanks.
Your definition of old does change as you age.
Cirie is 53.
Cory is 22 and what did he win? What did he throw? Guys get into showmances too.

An old people BB would be rather funny, but I must admit I was surprised that The Golden Bachelor has huge ratings. Can you imagine a BB with older people? It would be like a nursing home and if some of the people were single, I can't even imagine what that would lead to in hook ups. Older ladies and men fighting over one another and table puzzle comps🤔🤣

Survivor has harder comps but they do have accommodations for height on individual challenges, whereas BB endurance comps usually do not.
From what little we heard about part one of final HOH it was really hard and Matt said his muscle mass meant he could withstand the cold better. Jag and Bowie Jane said at points Matt could hold on with one arm when they had no ability to do that. Will be interesting to see the comp, even with editing.

Someone pointed out an unusual possibility- if Bowie goes out in 3rd, the jury will be the first seven HG's in alphabetical order...

Sea I could not finish Reily's video either. What is she about 14 the way she acts? No wonder Cam thought she reminded him of his 9-year-old daughter. I just can't with these kids on these shows. She is a cute girl, but that is about the total of appeal for me.

Felicia's exit interviews are posting. My thought is that the feeds are down so they can capture footage for Tuesday's look back at the game.

Roundtable has always been when they knew who the final 2 are so why would it be today.
It could be part 2 of HOH. It could be videos. I could also be lunch and the look back at the season. It could be a combination of any of those.

I don’t see anyone saying that the comps were too hard/physical for Cory, just the women. My point is, that this year isn’t a good year to judge whether the difficulty is too hard for MOST players. What ruined this season, IMHO, is that too many were worried about making enemies. Everyone wanted to cover their butts with fake alliances rather than forming an actual alliance and working/winning to help that alliance. It seems like over the years people put more stock in social game rather than a combination of strategy/comp wins and social. I prefer someone like Dan, who had it all.

Round table has been when the final 4 is determined.
The final 3rd evicted is shown on finale night when the jury is on stage.

If it's roundtable and talking about the memories of eliminated HGs, this could take all day with Matt reliving his 2 week crush with Reilly🥰🥰🥰Jag talking, talking....and of course Bowie trying to think of something NICE about everyone 🙄🤔🙄🤔
