We start with Vanessa plotting to be sure no matter who wins the HOH Vanessa is going to go to final 2. Cut to a diary room of Liz saying she is solid with taking Vanessa to the final two. Liz also says that Van is totally taking her to final two. Then Vanessa lies to Steve about having a final two with Liz. She gives her word, y’all. Oh Vanessa. Out play, out last and out lie your way to $500K. Steve is NOT planning to take Vanessa to final two if he wins HOH.
I hate these little flashback brunches where they give them topics to match the clips they want to play. We only have two episodes left. WE WANT MORE JURY INSIGHT. It is good to see Day and Jason again though. The replays of Vanessa’s bullying types of manipulations highlight why it is so hard to be happy for her win. UF is going to love this long showmance package with Austin and Liz. This crap is like the episode of Survivor that they show on Thanksgiving. I could totally be watching the Emmys. But noe. Instead, I am playing solitaire and checking the spam folder a lot.
So we go to commercial, and come back to? MOTS. I go make a pot of tea. Still going on. They should have down TWO parts of the HOH tonight. We’ll be lucky to get through one.
The HOH is basically swinging into a wall while sitting on a giant hemorrhoid and being slammed into the wall and dipped in a pond of menstrual blood. It lasted quite a while for everyone and was so boring to watch I quit bothering and shut of the live feeds when it was going on. Everyone was super sore the next day and they all got heat and ice patches to wear. Vanessa was the most beat up.
Another commercial. We still haven’t started the comps. Are they really going to do three parts of the comp and the jury vote in an hour on Wednesday?
And then they win be back with a lengthy montage of crying hamsters. THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO SEE! SUFFERING! Where there even any accidental nekkid pics on the livefeeds this year? I think not. I didn’t even care enough to hate any of these people this year. I suppose the most likely to be surprised they are hated by a lot will be Austin, Vanessa and the twins. I am sure they think they are the favorites. They never caught on that Johnny Mac was so liked because he hated al of them.
Oh. With five minute left they show the dangling hemorrhoid game. Apparently it is not a hemorrhoid being dipped in pool of menstrual blood after all. It’s supposed to be an apple being dipped in the red coating to make a candied apple. I was wondering why they were feeding bloody hemorrhoids to clowns. It is even more boring now that I understand where they were trying to go.
Spoiler: Vanessa wins part one. The finale is going to be 90 minutes at 9:30 after the Survivor premiere on Wednesday. They did not show two whole minutes of the stupid HOH.
Survivor!!!!
So glad this season has not been spoiled. The contestants have been very good not to leak a bootlist.
Oh and that top gif is genius!!
BB is not on here yet.
Emmys are … the audience is horrible. Unsupportive & only slightly engaged. Then only when it is their category.
Lady Gaga looks good. Don’t have a clue what some of these shows are or who the people/winners are.
HTGAWM did not enter the scene where she scrubs her face clean, and removes her wig for Emmy consideration. Why?
.
Wednesday I’m watching Empire.
Love Survivor but Ill wait a few weeks.
They didn’t show the HOH because it was hinky, feeds kept getting blocked for referee calls, apparently players were allowed to fall off the wooden seat once in the pool, stand up readjust and get back on each time they were dipped. As a result, it went on for 3 hours, so feeds cut again, to speed things up, players had to get directly on the apple and Vanessa complained to Production loudly. It was over within minutes, impossible to stay on, Steve slipped and Vanessa convinced Liz to THROW the HOH as whispered pay offs were cut on feeds cut AGAIN giving Van the HOH Part 1 win. Steve is aware Van’s promised F2 to both he and Liz but Van requires Steve keep his mouth shut or else.
BB is getting lots of flack for allowing Van’s premises of cash, cars, trips, & jobs to influence the games so viewers don’t end up seeing any real competing. HOH Part 2 having similar problems involving Production interference. Van’s not popular on social media and angry viewers think if it’s rigged, at least they can vote for AFP, until that voting was shut down for 3 days. Vanessa complaining only stifled by extra muscle relaxants. She forces herself out of bed grudgingly only to ensure Liz & Steve don’t compare notes. Glad Survivor comes on first Wednesday, probably wouldn’t bother to tune in, since the outcome seems too obvious.
very accurate
Thanks for the recap. I have the Emmy’s taping. been binging all day on The Returned. Series is much better than the book which was insanely boring and stupid. I couldn’t finish it. Found a spoiler on line. Ending was surprisingly boring and stupid. It sounds a lot like tonight’s BB.
Yup A real gobbler of an episode. The only comfort around here was to sit and gobble unneeded amounts of snacks while channel-surfing and waiting impatiently for Madame Secretary.
Now I’m really very fucking sorry for all of that snack snarfing, with vision of hemorrhoids and menstrual blood, not to mention goddamn clowns juggling my guts. Cheers! Vividly funny recap.
I wish all BB was like 50% jury house footage these days. Tonight’s episode is always the worst of the season, with the scripted recap dialogue.
Survivor used to have the whole fake reminiscing crap with the torches but they got smart and dropped it. Why the hell cant BB follow suit? For those of us that read or watch the feeds the only worthwhile episodes are the eviction and they STILL have to throw this nothing episode in?
This should should have been diary room unseen footage, jury house conversations and the winner of round one HOH.
Would have loved that! Especially extra DR footage. Wish they would do a special on that like they do with the housewives…the “lost” footage. Hey, hope Banjo and you are both feeling better, Tamara!
So missed a lot of BB but I did watch the last 4-5 weeks plus a few awhile back.
Why don’t people like Vanessa?
I think she feels bad about “playing” a few of the house guests and cried to often but she is playing an awesome game. No?
ok I watched the scene where Van was told she’s playing too hard and how she went off thinking that was criticism instead of conversation. Flash temper.
They don’t like her because she doesn’t fess up to her gameplay in the diary room. Her gameplay is difficult to watch with the tantrums, crying, interrogating HGs, and the non stop strategizing. And if that is what gets her to the end then she deserves it. But the she doesn’t own up to any of her behavior.
I’m so excited for survivor. It sounds like BB has way too much production interference.
The only negative for me on survivor is that the reunions suck. They hardly EVER ask the hard questions. Jeff is more bias to the alpha males than Andy is bias towards Bethenny. Also they are over WAY too quick. Most of it is spent talking to family, past survivor players and discussing the upcoming season.
I wish survivor did something a bit more like project runway or the real housewives reunions.
The only thing worse than reliving the Lizten showmance was listening to Shelli & Clay make out. Thanks for nothing, Big Brother.
Slurp slurp SUCK SLURP! You’ve got that right! Grossest make out couple ever!!
A couple of nights ago on the feeds as Steve, Liz and Vanessa were hanging out and talking, Vanessa told them some things about the Parisian side of her family, as all three were sharing stuff about their homes, families, etc. Vanessa has dual citizenship, French and American, and her father was born in France. Her father’s mother, when quite young, jumped from a Nazi train on its way to hell on earth. She made her way to Paris and survived. Later on, and I don’t know how many years later, Vanessa’s father was born there. Though Vanessa was born in White Plains, New York, when she was three, her family moved back to France because her father wanted his children to grow up where he had been raised. Later on, her parents broke up, and her mother brought them to Florida to stay with her family, until they could get back on their own footing, financially. Only her grandmother’s tremendous courage and spirit led to the chance for Vanessa’s father’s birth even to happen. This is not an attempt on my part to change the mindsets of any who cannot stand Vanessa, but so many of us have ancestors whose great courage may be the one thing that gave us the our (relative) freedom and even the chance to be born at all.
I heard that too maybe where she gets her fighting spirit, also distrust, paranoia, persecution complex demonstrated in her flash temper & what some call those witch hunts the ‘Van-ish Inquisition’. On another feed, Vanessa said her dad was a felon convicted of fraud and she explained that’s why she can’t follow BB rules, it’s not in her DNA. While she didn’t finish law school, she expects F2 closing arguments will be her forte’, and she plans to take credit for everything. Forgone conclusion, Liz is going to F2, Steve and Van won’t be taking each other.
Hopefully next year, casting is more balanced. So many kids still living at home having not seen the show before made them gullible victims, the kind Van loves in poker, but along with Production influence, makes anyone else winning nearly impossible. Also, they should cast more than one pseudo-celebrity per season so they’re isn’t a He Who Shall Remain Nameless effect. There seems to be more focus on future appearances on Amazing Race, All Stars and Bold & Beautiful. And Van’s trip to Vegas where she teaches AusTwins poker, counting cards, dice tricks, and DJ biz. They can’t wait for her to stake & multiply their winnings, so she gets Jury Votes for sure.
I don’t believe the story. There was no was her grand mother escaped from the locked boxcar which was stuffed with dozens of Jews on their way to hell on earth. It doesn’t pass the smell test.
Thanks Bouji. I’ve been wondering about Vanessa’s time in France. She doesn’t have an American accent when she speaks French (I’m jealous) and has a lot of French mannerisms. It’s really cute.
Cool story about Van Bouji. If it is true… You know, it is VANESSA lol. But I’m sure it is. Maybe. For the most part.
As one of my aunts used to say, ” Me no know, me no tell. Me push button, go like hell!”
Van would also like it to be known that she has an extremely high I.Q.
Today Vanessa has said that if Steve cuts her at F3, that she will NOT vote for him to win and will vote for Liz. So that is 3 secured votes for Liz in jury for sure. Either way if Steve is in F2 with Vanessa, or Liz he still might end up as 2nd place winner, but I’d be so happy if Vanessa is cut at 3rd place. Steve has been practicing his F2 speech a lot; and he is confident that his speech, including the fact the he cut Vanessa from the game, will win him the game.
Vanessa is going to the MOST bitter juror in BB history based on her demand for loyalty from everyone, but she is not required return that loyalty.
Today Vanessa is still low key bribing Liz & Steve. She said that all the HG that have remained loyal to her in the game will have a great Christmas.
The irony of her possibly going out at F3, almost the most miserable place to get booted, is not lost on me. For many people, that would be like Santa coming early. It doesn’t matter to me who wins; as ever, I just love the game, and as a damn kinda old fool, I like all three of these kids who are still in it. Hurray for Wednesday at 9:30, but no more of those giant swinging hemorrhoid balls for me. Fast forwarding.
Liz wrapped a potato up in tinfoil and began cooking it in the microwave. I know that she can’t wait to get out of the BB house, but this was taking it a little too far.
Did no one stop her?
The fizzling and sparking inside the microwave is what stopped her and it was kind of a group STOP! Liz doing this was very surprising, since she has done so much to feed everyone.
