She's hilarious. The Rachel/Ashley/Ava/Will side of the house is bringing the drama (with Keanu and Kelley as well). Insufferable is Vinny and his constant mastermind gametalk confessionals. --- Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier. Inviso ... Copied to Clipboard!

Vinny runs around, forming alliances with everyone in the house and can't handle the slightest bit of pressure before he tries this histrionic crap. He thinks he's the mastermind of the house and hasn't had that assumption corrected because everyone this season is fucking up a bunch. Rachel is at least FUNNY. --- Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier.

I really don't like how Rachel "wants to show these people how to play Big Brother" - when she's essentially being shut out of any and all major alliances and being largely ignored strategically. It's this cast's way of saying "This ain't your season, it's ours" to her, and it's pretty great tbh. She's showing that she's a fraud since she hasn't found an in. She hasn't been able to influence anybody and, even when on the bottom, a good player can at least get something to stick to improve their position. Amy and Jimmy were evicted because of their proximity to Rachel, so literally nobody wants to be next in that sequence. That's why Ava is listening to Mickey and Will before Rachel. Ava doesn't want to be on her way out next because that's what happens to Rachel's allies. It's sorta like what Savai'i did to Ozzy in South Pacific - they voted out his cuddle buddies and forced him to win challenges for them. And this was optimal because Redemption Island was in play and the absolute LAST thing Jim Rice wanted was a pissed-off Ozzy going on a tear there. Rachel is much the same way here. They want her to be delusional enough to think she actually has sway when she does not. And I don't think anyone outright hates her - they just hate the fact that she's there, and they don't want a legend overshadowing what was supposed to be THEIR season. Ergo, anyone who Rachel has a public F2 with has gotta go. So bye, Amy. Bye, Jimmy. Bye anyone else who does that! (Ashley might be next tbh.) There's a reason that even Lauren, who was fangirling the hardest when Rachel showed up, has a very minimal relationship with her. So Rachel's cockiness is just bizarre to me. She's done literally nothing this season to improve her position. And she's just mad that these people aren't playing the game for HER - it's the old Ciera Eastin "Make a move!" speech without explaining why such a move would benefit somebody else. She thinks these people are idiots for not doing the best move for HER game, when that's a downright stupid thing to say. And the way she comes across is devoid of self-awareness that I thought she had by now. That said, and this is pretty great, the cast has pretty much agreed that they want Rachel to be Mayor of Ponderosa again. Rachel has said that she'll refuse to go to the jury house - it's either she goes pre-jury or makes F4, with no in between. I'm all on board for this outcome. If they evict her - tequila, vomit, hair extensions, and all - and she quits the jury, I'm looking forward to seeing the fandom meltdown. --- Help control the pet population.

Mewtwo59 posted... I doubt it. This is her job. I wouldn't be surprised if the reason she came back was because she knows The Challenge producers are watching and she's using this as a tryout so she can get consistent work.Rachel would never compete on The Challenge. She was invited to The Challenge USA, the short-lived one with the CBS reality stars, but she read half the cast contract and was like "Who would go on this show?" She also wondered why a lot of the people who did go on it didn't read the fine print - again, she only needed to read half of that contract to know that the show was sketchy. And then look what happened. I'm guessing she's back because she was offered $25,000 up front, and she just can't help herself but go on Big Brother when given the opportunity. She is a diva who thinks she's the best BB player ever, when we all know her win has a big fat asterisk next to it. Will say it's pretty funny how she's a floater this season, though! Also, and this is minor feeds spoilers so I'm tagging it... On another note... I am really not feeling this season at this point tbh. There was that wild period from Rylie being dethroned through the two hours after Jimmy being nominated, but aside from that this cast is just not clicking. And that may be why they brought Rachel in: They knew she'd stir shit, and that they needed somebody to. But she's more subdued in doing so since she fears this group would evict her for burning the place down, so she's gonna wait until she wins HoH. That may not happen, though. This whole thing may be the case of Grodner wanting to "spice things up" and having the exact opposite effect - because someone who stands out is there, nobody in this group wants to stand out even more, else they will be in the crosshairs next. Really wish they'd have found someone like Tucker or Angela last season who was there to be entertaining. Or maybe that was supposed to be Zae, and... look what happened to him. --- Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered!

Watching the episode: I really hate how mopey and whiny Vince is as a sad sack. I know Rachel has been whiny too, but Rachel is in a position where the house treats her like a mascot rather than a legit player, and theyve taken out two of her friends (in stupid game moves for those particular HoHs). It makes sense for her to be upset if the cast is Ozzying her (as Andy compared). But Vince has been playing this scared game and staying in the middle this whole first month, and the second he doesnt get his way, he starts moaning about how its not fair; everyone is playing the middle; this has been his dream for ten years; wah wah wah. --- Inviso's Most Adorabl-est Eeveelution Ever http://i.imgur.com/SSw6M9E.gif ...

But Vince has been playing this scared game and staying in the middle this whole first month, and the second he doesnt get his way, he starts moaning about how its not fair; everyone is playing the middle; this has been his dream for ten years; wah wah wah.I think we were watching the same moment - him pleading helplessly at the end of the Veto comp - around the same time (I just finished the episode). The Vinny "The Lip" Panero name is gonna stick. He looked like such a whiny loser in the worst way, and that's not somebody other players want to align with. This may be why Mickey betrayed him. Would not shock me if they kicked Mickey out of Melting Pot and replaced her with Lauren, so long as Morgan is okay with that. Morgan has wanted Lauren out at times so she could "get Zach to herself" but.... that's not good gameplay. You get Lauren out, you betray Zach. And I think Morgan's come to that realization. Also, Rachel is always whiny. It just makes more sense this time because of how little traction they're allowing her to get. That going on for long enough would make anyone whiny. Rachel fighting with Morgan was a pretty stupid move for her, since Morgan has a lot of connections that Rachel does not. Rachel's unwarranted cockiness, however... that's making her a fair amount of enemies, and not just Morgan. Do gotta say, Vinny's costume is something else. He can't get up or down without somebody helping him. Keanu's is humorous, too, but his stint is typical fare. It's made feeds interesting. Rachel and Zach's thing was not on feeds because production sucks. Feedsters, particularly the paying ones, are complaining more than usual about getting the shaft this year. --- Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered!

They're going to make Lauren and Morgan the last two to vote, aren't they? Also Julie sounds choked up about this. These are two really nice guys and Julie never likes to see people cry.

That was hard to watch. But hey, this is making me feel something. That's a good thing. I think the house agreed on this. Not sure how it happened though. Some people, such as Lauren, didn't want to stand out by fighting for him.

Taylor Hale is objectively awesome and that's about all you need to know about her. The rest of the TAR cast is pretty much what I'd expect, though I was anticipating someone who hadn't competed in the last decade. A deep cut from the old days. I'm still not gonna watch. This kind of thing does not lure me back in. Even with Tucker and Angela there (they made last year so great), you gotta remember that those who are dynamic personalities on Big Brother might not have the same effect on another show. BB and TAR are very different shows in very different environments, so I doubt Tucker can find opportunity to troll everybody. You've said you've heard it went really poorly though and may result in the show's cancelation. I think that part hinges on how well this new country music tour show does. If it does well, CBS won't need Amazing Race anymore. --- Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered! RIP Bob Barker (1923 - 2023) - and thanks for all the memories. ...

Just looking at the TAR38 cast. Huge recency bias there and some really ?????? picks given the number of fun characters they could have chosen. Hannah? Turner? Joseph? To a lesser extent Izzy and Natalie?

It would work better over 14 episodes like Survivor has. I don't know where the intrigue is without Taylor, though. Having the best protagonist the show has ever had (and she's easily one of the best in ANY reality show) added a lot. Also, nomination spoilers.... --- Help control the pet population.
