Re: Big Brother 24

Not sure if Kyle's strategy of wrecking the Leftovers alliance is gonna work


It feels like he's doing it so Alyssa and Terrance know, so he's playing for himself in the moment, and playing for his showmance long term. Weird strategy, even if he, alyssa, DJ Showtime align, they'll have to deal with the aftermath when the groups merge. The numbers don't really work, but we'll have to see

That was stupid of him. He has no way to win and he will be enemy #1 going into next week.

(Not on the veto episode yet, so this take could age horribly based on what's already happened)

It's easy to judge things in hindsight, but all this really starts to fall on Michael.

3 people left in that comp to choose from, knowing whoever wins that showdown WILL be 1 of the HOHs. You have 1 alliance member and 2 non alliance members. So why do you put the 2 non alliance members in that showdown to guarantee 1 wins, especially knowing the rules already with the split house.

You guaranteed 1 non alliance member and 1 alliance member being HOH, rather than giving your alliance 2 shots at being HOH, with the best case scenario being BOTH HOHs being in your alliance (and 2 of the 3 scenario possible resulting in at least 1 alliance member being HOH).


As for Kyle, that showmance ruined his game. He's really gonna throw away his game for someone who doesn't even know what a newspaper is. What's the plan when the house reunited? Terrance, Kyle, Alyssa vs Joseph or Turner, Monte, Taylor, Brittany, Michael? Or is he fully banking on Michael and Brittany jumping ship?

Next weeks HOH comp would be Kyle, Alyssa, Joseph or Turner, Monte, Taylor, Brittany.

Re: Big Brother 24

Taylor had her pageant face on when the groups merged and she saw Joseph wasn't coming back, that's a skill


Turner has some power here, he can realign with the Leftovers on the other side and spill the beans about Kyle, or pretend to stick with them while staying with the new alliance. Although, gotta figure the Leftovers will be blown up by someone regardless.


This is gonna be interesting

Turner's in a great spot as long as he spills the beans. Kyle should be the target and then it's time to split it up.

Basically all pairs are going to be broken up. Turner can keep his current friends and bring the ones left together.

Re: Big Brother 24

If Kyle/Alyssa dont win HOH, they definitely will go up with Terrence as the replacement nominee plan.

Funny how Jasmine basically did admit she was exaggerating her injury. Biggest non surprise ever, but I'm surprised producers let her do it.

[Majingir]

Re: Big Brother 24

So, Leftovers are done and Turner is siding with the Afterparty?

I guess this is the point in the season where it goes downhill.

At least Jasmine is gone, but if there's a shot of Terrence,Alyssa in the F4, that doesn't make for a good end for the season.

Kyle has been destroyed online for things he's said/done in the house (as shown on TV a week or two ago with his thoughts on a Cookout 2.0, and his proposed plan to combat that), but I'm still giving him the benefit of the doubt. Could easily be the TV edit, but he doesn't come off as a "bad guy". As much as I hate the showmance and all that, I don't think he's so bad.

But if him going is what's needed to get Turner back on the side with Monte, Taylor, Michael, Brittany, then I guess it should happen.

And speaking of Alyssa......producers just going all out on making fun of her. Between the newspaper DR and her thinking London is in France, she's not helping the dumb blonde model stereotype at all.

Re: Big Brother 24

the Leftovers and After Party are both done, it sounded like the Pound was back, and I don't even remember that alliance, and didn't realize Turner and Kyle had a final 2, this season is zany

I don't even think there's a specific alliance anymore.

Leftovers are broken up, I don't see After Party really winding up F4 either, and the Pound I could easily see them turning on Monte.

It feels more like the "voting blocks" we saw on Survivor a few years back. No main alliance, but more like groups of 2 people sometimes coming together for votes with other groups of 2 people.

Re: Big Brother 24

So, that was a loaded ending.

I don't want to believe that Kyle's thoughts and comments were as malicious as it appears, especially when I've liked him for most of this game (minus throwing his game away in a showmance) and he seems like a good guy, so it sucks if this really was as bad as it seems. He can think that all he wants, but it made no sense, especially looking at who has been voted out or put on the block.

There have been way worse instances of issues in the BB house in past seasons that production has stood by and just let happen despite many fans pleading for them to step in (BB15 being the big one).

One of the reasons why the Cookout did work last season was also for the reason we're seeing now. Nobody even wanted to suggest or speculate in the house last season that it could be the case because if they're wrong, they look like Kyle right now. And if they're right, they're still coming out looking bad.

But at the same time, while it wasn't Kyle specifically, Taylor has been targeted by the girls since day 1, and you can come to your own conclusions as to reasons why, especially when looking at comparable instances in BB history.

I hated last season because of what it became and stopped watching it for the most part. You had good players who decided to not play the game for themselves and it would have been a great season if they had chosen to battle it out. I just hope something like that doesn't happen again no matter who is part of it, although I even hate alliances based on sex.

Kyle said what he is being accused of saying. I don't know if he meant it that way or not as I haven't watched anything not shown on tv. Taylor has also openly stated she wouldn't put someone up. His reading of the situation was terrible as there was no alliance. You can see Kyle just make stupid decisions after another. He's an idiot who's found another idiot and hopefully they both leave the next 2 evictions.

Taylor got a bad rap because she was viewed as a threat to the lead crazy girl and then they just all piled on to fit in. If you watch Taylor, you have to also see how she brings some of it on herself. She was never going to be friends with any of the women in the house because of her personality. I don't think she does things on purpose but she just doesn't mesh well with other women.

Re: Big Brother 24

I don't remember the Brittany conversation in the bathroom but that makes it very clear that he didn't even really acknowledge it then.

I can't believe he was 29, I thought he was closer to 23-24. He ended his game last week to save his showmance and she dumps him and says she doesn't feel like he would pick her over winning. I was rolling at that point.

Turner is sitting safe right now because he won't be the target of either side as I think this week will be a backdoor week for if the veto is used.

If Michael or Brittany win, Monte is the target.

If Taylor or Monte win, I think Alyssa and Terrence go up with Michael as backdoor plan.

If Terrance wins, I think Michael and Brittany go up

If Alyssa wins, that'll probably be the most unpredictable week.


The Brittany conversation was also shown on TV along with the Michael and Kyle one in a past week. I think it was all shown in the same segment too.

This whole thing was a no win situation for anyone involved which is the sad reality of it all. What if Michael and Brittany jumped to conclusions about Kyle too? Suddenly they bring unjustified accusations into the house all because they wanted to act asap. But holding onto that info trying to confirm their suspicions was also bad because like we saw, everyone's like "why did you wait so long to bring it up?"

What Brittany said is what I said though. Kyle really doesn't seem like a bad guy. I feel like watching over the years, you do get a good idea of the type of people the HGs are, and Kyle is far from being like someone such as an Aaryn, GM and others. But like Monte said, it's not about hating Kyle the person or anything, its about hating the mindset and thinking of him.

He did grow up in a smaller town in Utah and as we knew well before these comments were made, he did grow up basically in a bubble. I hope BB can also learn from this too. Entering the house, you need to make people aware of everything. Whether it's intentional (which I don't believe to be the case here) or unconcious biases, you need to make people aware of things like this.

Zingbot: Alyssa, when I see you, I can't help but think of a heavy winter coat in the desert.....Dead weight and completely useless.

Re: Big Brother 24

I wonder if they're gonna start switching up the challenges so Michael can't win everything

He reminds me of Johnathan from Survivor, minus muscles

Re: Big Brother 24

That move by Michael and Brittany to withhold that information until it was beneficial to their game was disgusting.

Re: Big Brother 24

The thing is, did they actually wait or was it something they didn't/couldn't bring up before?

You hear things at first and just brush it off and try not to turn the game into what Kyle was speculating about. Like I said about Kyle's situations too, it's a lose lose. If you bring up what Kyle was saying but it turned out to not be as bad as you made it out to be, you're the bad guy who is trying to call someone racist. If you bring up what is said and it turns out there is smoke to it, suddenly you're the one starting the fire.

He told Michael in week 5. They obviously wouldn't act instantly. By week 6 is when they probably started really realizing he's fully on board with the theory. Week 7 the house split. And then seeing Joseph gone and now Kyle probably wanting Monte going up against Taylor once Michael used the veto, that was when they had to put their foot down.

At least that's how I hope things went. Sure, Michael and Brittany do benefit from this, but it's not as if Taylor won the veto and Michael was gonna go up vs Brittany but they suddenly revealed this info so now they're both safe. Michael won the veto and both of them were safe.
