I like Janelle but I certainly don’t put her on that high of a pedestal. LOL

Bamagirl, while watching Michael fly down that slip and slide, all I kept thinking was I bet he put a slip and slide in his back yard, doused it with Dawn and practiced running on with a cup of water.
He could even fall without spilling it.

He’s a BB beast. Which is why I can’t figure him getting rid of Terrance instead of a bigger threat. No?

It will be hard for Kyle to learn and grow, the way production has been censoring anything anti Kyle and allowing anything on feeds to be said anti Michael, Brittany and Taylor.
Terrance rants are allowed.
As for white male privilege, Michael would have only had that had he stayed in the closet.
But he is not in the closet.
Janelle is significant because she has competed and has held the record for most comps won in a year, that Michael could tie or break. I am sure she would rather have the record go to Michael than many past and present houseguests. Me too.

Lucus, I agree with your post on Michael. I'm not upset because I had to look at the big picture and who benefitted from him saying it. It was Monte and Taylor. I don't care about Monte but I'm glad Taylor is safe.

I know Taran said Michael should go for Turner to be evicted this week but I keep thinking about it, Michael has already lost Terrance's jury vote, if he goes against his promise to Turner, I think he loses Turner's possible vote too.

Monte has zero idea, imo, how much he was saved by what Michael and Brittany did which got Kyle evicted.
Kyle was so going to push for Monte's eviction once the veto was used on Brittany.

I grew up in California, poor, lower class. I was an average-looking kid, although short in stature, I’m female, so it was socially not an issue. I was lucky to have a VERY good memory, a talent at reading/writing. In the 1960s-70s it was easy to escape the horrors of the bullies/social expectations. I looked like everyone’s little sister. I fit in. I felt invisible at times, but it was sure better than the teasing/bullying/ostracizing I witnessed my peers endure. I knew I had less material stuff. But my parents were amazing, so smart and WAY ahead of their time with social/political issues. I felt “seen/heard/valued.” I grew up to not settle/conform. I experienced White Privilege then and now. I do not know what it feels like to go somewhere and not feel safe or accepted. I have struggled with poverty/loss of loved ones/hunger/health issues. I’ve NEVER experienced not fitting in, being afraid of the color of my skin causing prejudice, nor have I ever felt unsafe to be in a certain situation/environment. It breaks my heart to think anyone experiences it, esp those who live it on a daily basis.

Just being white and male gives him privilege…you wouldn’t know just by looking at him that he is gay, so… probably didn’t get tracked while shopping, pulled over because of the color of his skin, etc… that’s what I mean by “white male privilege”. That and ONLY that.
And Janelle is significant indeed! Comp beast supreme until passing on her crown this year! I love people who enjoy playing the game.

Privilege is so much more than how you're treated, that's more of an ugly result than an actual core component. Privilege is about how you act, how you treat others and how you see yourself in the world.
I see very little evidence that Michael see's himself as privileged. Kyle, Jasmine, Indy Terrance on the other hand...

Wow! what a coincidence that last year's Big Brother was won by an attorney and IF Michael wins this year, it's another attorney!

I see Kyle, Jasmine, Indy and Terrance as entitled. That is not the same as privileged. Though many many privileged people think they are entitled.

It takes a while, done individually.
It has been 5 hours!

I’ve had friends who think White Privilege means they were “given” something…
I ask them if they’ve ever been followed by staff/security as they walked through a store. If they’ve ever been pulled over and asked if the car they’re driving is theirs. If they’ve been asked what they are doing driving/walking in “this neighborhood.” If they’ve ever been asked to show their receipt when leaving a store, but the white people going out before and after them do not get asked. I had a friend who was asked to pull out his pockets at a store when we were young, the rest of us, who were white, were not asked…he had nothing in his pockets. I have an in-law who threw away a drinking glass which was used to give a black repairman a drink of water… I’m sure there’s many more examples, these are just the ones I often think of… and I’m sure many other people have a lot more stories—some similar, some far worse.

They have something like 30 minutes or they time out.. and there is the set up for each .. so you can count on it being 6 hours... even if Michael in his time did it in say 12 minutes.. they would wait until the 30 minutes was up and then do the re-set.. If several of them timed out then it's 6 hours easy.

Just because Janelle likes Michael doesn’t make him the best contestant, which was stated. That was my point. It has nothing to do with how significant she is.

Michael is the best contestant so far this season, in MY opinion.
Nobody has a perfect game, they’ve ALL made mistakes and blown some opportunities. To me, Michael has surpassed the others in numerous ways. And since my word is my bond, you know, I said what I said, you know what I’m sayin? I, you know, just think Michael is, you know, the best contestant.

As Monte said, he is blowing everyone away in comps and is such a nice guy ( this was before there was the Kyle stuff to blame on Michael).
I hope this comp is wrapped up soon..
