Board 8 > Survivor/Big Brother/TAR Summer Topic 2: I was Tempted to make this...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Okay, it still probably won't get me to watch BB again, but Cody sounds awesome. Somebody just deadpanning and fighting the attention/camera whoring stereotype thing that probably follows them with the "yeah, I don't give a shit" type responses is probably how I'd be about a bunch of things.

Feeds spoilers

Kevin told Jessica last night that Ramses was leaving. All Hell broke loose. No idea who is going anymore. Jessica tried to flip the house... she has Cody, Elena, Mark, and MAYBE Christmas, it seems. She needs one more vote. I am 100% watching tonight.

That would be amazing but I have a feeling we are getting a double evict tonight

We haven't heard anything about this. Would a Temptation consequence really be something they do every season as it is? Doubtful. There's probably something far more sinister.
---

We just know that the curse is happening tonight and that it probably won't be anything like a reset because the hex is already a reset. For the first temptation the curse was the opposite. So I felt what is the opposite of no evocation? A double or triple eviction

but the Ve-Toads had almost nothing to do with the Ring of Replacement, aside from them trying to be clever with wordplay.

This could be something unprecedented, like every HOH has to nominate three people for eviction through the final 8. Or it could be an Instant Eviction that will air Sunday. If it was a Double Eviction (a Triple isn't going to happen because Megan quit), ChenBot would've told us last week. "Because Jessica took the Temptation..." We've never had a surprise DE before, have we?

I think I know what it is... it is both opposite and wordplay, so it will involve an eviction and something to with "hex" so not a double or triple... 6 people will be evicted

loool josh

This is already a quality ep with that Josh segment.

Always nice to have a villain like Josh. Such a Neanderthal, that one.

I hate Josh, but he's entertaining, and regardless of who wins HOH tonight, there's going to be drama. It's going to keep this season glorious. If it continues at the pace it's gone since the start, this will wind up being the best season since BB10.
---

i think it's crazy how this season has somehow trimmed the least entertaining players out almost entirely

now we just need raven gone

because i genuinely think matt would be awesome if he wasn't trying to avoid pissing off raven by separating from her
---

Raven is a spoiled brat and a strategic nonentity - there's a reason why feeders despise her. I would love to see Raven and Matt nominated this week. Either of them going would be fine. Mark was so right about them.

But yeah, better Raven leave than Matt. We'd have an insanely entertaining group making jury... and I would love every second of it.
---

^
Hoping for an Elena HOH to make that happen. Raven needs to go asap.

Then the following week Josh wins HOH and Jess uses the hex.
---

XD glen who
---

This isn't looking good....
---

Tiebreaker is going to be "How many total tattoos were on all the covers?"

And this week is going to be AWFUL now :|
---

halting hex hype


josh vs cody hype
---

Oh god no, this will be a really obnoxious week.
---

Now I'm hoping BOTB will return as the consequence, lol.
---

Maybe Paul will overplay his hand

Oh god no, this will be a really obnoxious week.

my second comment was when the final three were Paul, Matt, and Raven. I was almost puking.

Though this could be Paul's undoing. A second HOH - possibly undone by Jessica - could lead Paul to get 12th place. Jessica could play him, though, and say "I have a super-spell. If you nominate Cody and me, your HOH will be all for naught."

I had to make sure the I/me was right for Machete >_>
---

HOLY CRAP JESSICA

...that was awesome. Now THAT is going to change things up. People gotta panic now, xD

...also this Temptation Competition? I like it, since it's optional. Would never have expected that, honestly.
---

haha I loved that by jessica, julie had a "are you sure?" moment, but played it off well imo
---

LOL cameron
---

im fine with it giving 1 person safety
---

Jessica made a really great play imo by calling it out. No one's going to target her/Cody for the same reason no one ever targeted anyone with the god idol in Survivor.

lol. My only gripe about Jessica is that every time I heard her say Cody and I, I have to take a second to determine if it's right or wrong :P

Poor Ramses. He seems like a really nice kid and I think his game was definitely hurt by the cast skewing a bit older this season.

I haven't read the reactions to the Temptation Competition yet (I'll assume they're negative in most parts of the BB community) but I actually like it. It seems like it's designed to help protect Paul and Cody since they're strong in comps and will probably end up the only competitors every week (because someone like Kevin or Raven has literally no reason to ever compete) but in a vacuum I like it. It adds a very intriguing layer of strategy and could add to some interesting gameplay. For example, if Cody wins this week then Paul's hand is forced. And if Jody wins veto?

I would be shocked if Raven goes before the Final 3. She's a perfect Victoria type to take there. She'll probably end up on the block every week in the jury portion of the game to ensure the target goes and then the final HoH will clip her. She's basically a total non-threat in challenges and everybody loves her and wants her to win because of her illness.
---

It seems like Jessica's bluff can be called pretty easily by Paul just nominating them and seeing what happens. Obviously they would go up, but even if they didn't it's not like Paul loses anything for trying, they already know he's after them. Paul caught a lot of flak for lying and saying his protection lasted a week longer than it actually did so we'll see if production calls Jess out.
---

According to RHAP Jessica got in trouble when she talked to Kevin. As long as she specifies the length and stays vague on the power she'll be fine.

general live feeds spoilers

pretty crazy fights but I'm not really feeling it? like obviously this is better than literally nothing on the feeds but everyone involved is being such an asshole.

I'd say everyone except Jessica. She's trying to keep her cool despite her boyfriend going off the deep end. Cody, Josh, Mark, and Paul all need to grow up and act like grown men should. What is this, middle school?
---

oh man watching the live feeds late at night

cody & jess having a raw moment, cody basically in tears saying he wants to stop being around jess cause he's tanking her game, he won't make her happy. PITY PARTY TIME.

and jess is all like FUCK YOU CODY and ignores his every word

i fucking hate both of these people here

this is the bane of everything

two melodramatic sapheads with no understanding of BB and are totally blinded by ass

tho tbf i guess it's like a better version of brendon & rachel. i guess?
---

i too was melodramatic when i was 16 and had no emotional maturity. what a time.

lol and then josh walks in and grabs his pillows and leaves
---

i clicked the wrong topic and then realized i've left genius season 3 on episode 3 for like a month

and i probably will for another month!
---

why

that's the biggest tragedy all night
---

times were good, times were bad, times were changing

in that order
---

fair enough


i'm watching the big fight after noms

josh SUCCCCCKSSSS

he's just... he's a squishy, emotional pitbull. he's going hard on mark and it's just so stupid. i mean jess & cody are sappy but josh? he's just dumb. super dumb. like holy shit. mark isn't even saying anything.
josh is horrible.

10/11. Cody/Jessica
12. Josh

jason: "i kinda feel like there's a bit of the messiah going on here with josh.

also jason: "so anyone for twister?"
---

josh takes the frying pans and starts banging them violently at mark doing his dumb song from the HoH last week

he then advances at mark, so mark gets up and tries to grab the frying pans away

and then the feeds cut out

this whole time mark said just about nothing except "josh, you're comical, a joke". josh meanwhile was going apeshit. and what sparked it all? mark was asking josh to cool it with his attacks on cody. but he did it so passively...

i hate josh.

i am actively rooting against cody, jessica, and josh.

jessica is too dumb and petty for my liking

lacks charm and wit too

she's fierce tho
---

A Cody-less Jessica is worth rooting for, but while he's there to drag her down, meh.
---

the show got me to root for her but the feeds so far make me do a 180

maybe it's cody being there that makes her worse, i've only seen her with him and it's been cringe
---

I still like and respect Jessica, even when she's getting emotional. I just would rather her be there without Cody dragging her down.

Jessica is ass stupid when shes with Cody but without him she's a lot better. On the other hand, Cody and Josh are super entertaining and make the season so much better, so not sure
