Wow! First of all we have our first legal disclaimer of the season. Maybe they are going to show some of the midget versus n word conversation between JC and Bayleigh? I think it was season 14 or maybe 15 where the whole house was saying racist crap and no one had a job when they left. I’m interested to see what they show that required this disclaimer. It even says, “VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED!
I already recapped the HOH comp in comments here if you missed that live recap. If you are new to the site we all discuss live feeds and spoilers in comments. Join us! The site is usually busy for summer so I am not able to watch feeds as much as I would like. That’s great for business but terrible for my addiction to this show so I appreciate all live feed updates no matter how small in comments. I always try to at least update who is on the block and who wins veto and the replacement nom if any in comments. Even The HOH looks a lot grosser on the show than the part we saw on live feeds.
Even though Rockstar fell first, she was up there for 25 minutes and that is a great effort. Her break down with Scottie was touching. I’m in the minority of Internet viewers who actually really likes Rockstar. I ove that Sam was trash talking Kaitlyn. She is hysterical. Sam so wants Kaitlyn out of this house. So does Tyler.
In DR Sam says she already knows who she wants to nominate and once her mind is made up she will not budge. Take that, Allison Grodner. Your Jedi Mind tricks do not work on this one. I love it. Even Brett is impressed by Sam. The girl had a very odd position and she stayed up there in that position for the entire 62 minutes and never flinched.
Rockstar is losing her shit. Bayleigh is all Olivia Pope with Rockstar. I love Bayleigh. Bless her heart she is trying to lead this team of misfits to the end while the pretty people continue to trash talk and win.
Fessie thinks that JC likes him more than anyone in the house. JC tells him that Hayleigh and Kaitlyn, his two closest allies are the two that flipped, even though the two stray votes were really JC and Tyler. I can see them not suspecting Tyler, but why do they trust JC so much?
I absolutely LOVE how Sam laid down the law about the HOH room. I don’t know when it began fine and dandy for people to help themselves to all the things the HOH earned by winning the comp and expecting to get to sleep with whoever and eat whatever but I am glad she said it is her room and no one is to be in it without her there and without her permission. She also said that she is not going to have one on ones (I think that is a mistake. Even if your mind is made up, as HOH you have a chance to get information out of people. This is a recruit mistake.)
Wow this is unseen footage for me. Kaitlyn thinks it was Tyler and JC that flipped. No one believes her. Then Kaitlyn says Sam used her power to flip two votes! Kaitlyn has said Sam has had a different power every other day. I love how Tyler feeds into Kaitlyn’s crazy. He’s like “hey wow dude, how did you figure that out? Was it your magical powers of intuition?” And suddenly they are fine. Kaitlyn is going to hate watching these episodes.
I totally missed the whole Rockstar going all Evel Dick on Brett. I love it. “Don’t talk about his micropenis” I am dying. His whole persona screams micropenis.
Ah and here it comes. The midget versus dwarf thing. Before we begin, JC is a midget. Midgets differ from dwarfs because midgets have the same body proportions but dwarfs usually have shorter arms and legs. So when JC tries to say that midget is the n word for dwarfs he is wrong. They are two different things. Both refer to people under 58 inches tall. He’s a midget. Recently, the PC police have decided that these terms or offensive and all dwarfs and midgets should just be called little people as if they are they same as Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest.
He’s a midget and hates the term. I get that. But that is still the medical term just like retard, moron and idiot. Bayleigh is just trying to learn something her and they bleep out the word “midget” when she asks about the difference between a midget and a dwarf. Again these are medical diagnoses. Both categories currently prefer the term “little person.” Then JC says that Dwarfs have a medical condition. So do midgets. But he says saying midget is using the m word just the same as calling gay men the f word (which for the record the gay community has used for years and still does and now suddenly I’m not supposed to be a fag hag anymore and am now a fruit fly when fruity has always been way more of an insult in the gay community I am a part of…. nope. I’m still a fag hag and the insult part of that was always on me.
But I am sure the younguns, Mark and Eric will be here to mansplain that soon. Then JC compares it to being the same as calling someone the n word versus black. Oh there we go. I feel like both sides were trying to explain that they didn’t want to be called certain things. Basically both people had words they found extremely offensive. Bayleigh used one and JC used another. And frankly faggot was is in the same group. All of these words are used inside their communities but are considered taboo outside their communities. It’s all ridiculous. JC wants to argue context and Bayleigh did was asking an earnest question? Political correctness has gotten to an extreme level. I hate that I need to sort of defend JC here, but these are two young people learning for each other. I don’t think JC used the term in a malicious way. He simply said it was a derogatory term to call him a midget. I don’t believe that, but he does and everyone understand the n word is derogatory as well. He was trying to make a point that went way wrong.
JC goes to talk to level six about what happened. Then he has a one on one with Bayleigh. Bayleigh doesn’t seem to understand that she offended him. She is denying calling him a midget. But they talk and eventually make up. YAY! Everyone learned a lesson.
It’s time for veto. Kaitlin and Hayleigh are up. Sam says she thinks these two take the most from the house and contribute the least. “And honestly, I don’t care about how the two of you treat the young men in this house. I think that they deserve more respect and I think that it is the opposite of female empowerment. And I think that you should both respect yourselves more.” In her DR Sam says she thinks that Kaitlyn and Hayleigh are trying to manipulate the men in the house. She says that all the petting is cheap and the easy way and I could not agree with her more. They are trying to whore their way to the top. Hayleigh’s sobbing in the DR about her family watching this is hysterical. SHE IS THE ONE ACTING LIKE A WHORE ON TV. It’s not Sam’s fault she called out her in appropriate behavior. Kaitlyn whoring up on men somehow makes her pissed at Sam for what she is doing. The minute after she is nominated she is in bed with two or three guys hunched up and crying. The hypocrisy is stupefying! Kaitlyn seems to live in another world where she is not constantly intimate with men who she claims to be some sort of special arrangement. She is deranged and men should run far from her. Apparently her parents are rich or something.
As long as Brett dies in a hail of fire at some point I’ll be fine. (I can’t wait for Reddit to hear about this death wish. And as add update to my death wishes… they may actually be working. Both of my neighbors died…) Don’t make me wish death on you redditt my magical death wishing abilities…. have improved.
I actually do like Rock Star and felt so sorry for her after the HOH comp. Scottie was so sweet to her. I can’t wait for Kaitlyn AND Brett to be booted out of the house. I didn’t realize want a huge jerk he is until he was put on the block. I was glad that JC and Bayleigh worked things out.
Yes! So glad this is up!!! I just watched both the eviction and tonight’s episodes. I do not love RS but I HATE Brett! He is an entitled, privileged frat boy bro. I despise men like this. I cannot wait for him to go. Good job to Grodner for giving us a new villain just before Kaitlyn goes home (hopefully).
I completely agree with you about everything relating to Sam. Her nomination speech was perfect and exactly what I have been telling anyone who will listen!
The whole convo with Bayleigh and JC was a total circle. They were saying the exact same thing but neither one was actually listening. They needed a mediator. But I do have to say that midget is not a medical term. Neither is retard. They are both very offensive. Both of those terms are used primarily as a derogatory term and are intended to offend or degrade another person.
retarded is absolutely a medical term. The other two groups in the diagnostic category are idiot and moron. For some reason the word police has decided that of the three retarded is the one of the three that must never be used.
Not sure what to say.. I am seeing a different season.
The show edited out Scottie’s obnoxious non-stop chatter during most of the JOB comp, and Brett asking Rockstar to get off of him.
Rockstar ‘s daughter actually was born the next day and besides, who cares?
She has been obsessed with Brett ever since. She is supposed to be a super fan.
Great recap, TT! I’m just catching up with Big Brother after being on the East Coast for 10 days. Sam winning HOH in the week that the evicted houseguest gets a chance to come back in the game is just weird. But l do love her and hope she’s in the final two. Scottie is way more of a gamer than l expected. Smart and devious. Seems like he and Tyler are the two running the house from opposite sides. They’re a good match. And finally, l really really dislike Brett and want him gone soonest.
Thanks for the post! Needed to see your point on JC situation
I was okay with Rockstar until she did her pot banging thing. I despised Josh last season and Rocks little tantrum lowered her in my mind. The M word vs the N word…IMO Baliegh overreacted. He wasn’t calling her the name, just using it as an example. I had no idea M was offensive till I started watching Little Women LA.
I LOVED Sam on this episode. Her HOH room speech to her nomination speech. She was dead on about how they play the guys. Tyler seems to know exactly what they are doing, but Fessy is another story.
Sam is awesome. I would be desperate for some time ‘alone’, and the clips of her dancing in the Hoh room was everything.
I really appreciate her calling out the house hos. Kaitlyn is the worst, and can take her entitled, clair-no-yant, spoiled behind back to Long Island.
I am creeped out by rockstars obsession with Brett. I was also a little disappointed she chose to go all pots and pans too… Pull it together!!
JC should’ve been removed from the house after his “scooping”. I’m still really bothered by it.
I also find myself cheering on Kaycee more and more… I hope she’s the dark horse and can lay low until the end.
It’s been fun reading up here, as always.
The RS pan banging reminded me of Tanesha’s clips from Bad Girls House – it was awful then and it was just as awful on BB.
Had me seriously wondering if they do psych checks on the people before letting them come to or stay in the house.
While I’m on Rock Star, can I ask do you really think anyone besides you cared that it was your child’s birthday? That, how could they treat me like this on my crotch fruit’ s day of birth, oh the horror,
act was ridiculous. It’s a birthday, we all have one, settle down. Also my dog, who is the greatest creature ever to roam this earth has a birthday coming up…please send cards, cash and gifts! It’s his birthday!! LOL
Rockstar is a superfan. It’s sort of a tradition on the show for someone to bang on pans ever since Evel Dick started the practice. Is it obnoxious and annoying? Yes, but that is sort of the point.
That said, Rockstar realizes it was over the top and on last night’s BBAD was planning her apology to Brett, and his micropenis.
Could you please use your magical death wishing abilities on the hate-filled assholes that live next to me? A firey fire will do! Tx TT! xoxoxo
Great recap. I could use some of that magical death wishing power too won’t name him but sounds just like Eddie 😉
“Midget” is not a medical term. “Proportionate dwarfism” is the more common term. (If it’s caused by something specific like a pituitary problem, then that condition would also be used.)
Just as the NAACP tries to advocate using the n-word, the LPA has an official position against the m-word. I’m not sure why it has to be a competition in the public about which is more bad or painful. It wasn’t that long ago that black people weren’t given a voice about what was considered a slur or not.
A midget and a dwarf are two different things bases on medical diagnosis. JC claims his doctor said he didn’t fit either category and is just short.
JFC….The M word is not a medical term or condition. It is a derogatory term derived from the word midge which is a tiny insect and used to insult and belittle people with proportionate dwarfism. I understand that you have a sick need to use cruel and offensive words but you should at least do some fucking research first. Stop spreading ignorance.
Disproportionate dwarfism = Dwarf
Proportionate dwarfism = midget.
It has nothing to do with insects. That was always the diagnosis. Until about five years about when the word police decided to go with “little people” which seems derogatory on it’s own.
They are both medical conditions and those medical conditions do not change no matter how many times you rename them.
You are so wrong Tamara. Yes, retarded is an actual word and used to be used as a name for a medical diagnosis i.e. Mental retardation. Midget is a made up slang term. It absolutely comes from the tiny insect known as a midge. Look it up.
Brent is a douche and he deserved everything Rockstar served him. Sam’s little slut shaming speech was gross. The guys do the same thing but she only feels the need to chastise the women so she can cloak it in the cover of female empowerment. Tyler has flirted with most of the house to manipulate the game. What exactly has Haleigh done besides flirting?
Fessie has also been an active participant in the many rub and pet sessions this season. Sam could’ve nominated him for the same reasons as Haleigh and Kaitlyn. There was point on the feeds where Sam was referencing Haleigh and Kaitlyn being mean girls to her, so maybe that’s part of why she nominated them.
Sam also excused the boys flirting by saying “boys can’t help themselves”….disgusting. I also think that Sam does her fair share of being touchy feely with the boys too…beside all the long hugs she gives out she does her fair share of rubbing on their legs and arms, etc. Last night with Fess is a good example.
That is exactly what I was thinking. As she carried JC off I wondered how “respectful” carrying a grown man like a babydoll was. Who the hell is Sam to decide what female empowerment is for all women! Absolutely judgemental and I wanted to like her so bad
You expressed all of my opinions exactly in this post. The entire time we watched the back and forth between JC and Bayleigh, I kept saying, “This is ridiculous! Isn’t this ridiculous?” My daughter agreed. We love Sam and her comments about Hayleigh and Kaitlyn. The micropenis comment was my favorite of the night. I like Rockstar, too, but I want to help her learn to keep her composure. Banging on pots is so last season.
Overnight, I think Fessie was trying to buy Hayleigh’s exclusive affections with the veto.
“Bless Bayleigh’s heart she is trying to lead this team of misfits to the end while the pretty people continue to trash talk and win.” There are plenty of pretty people on both sides of the house. Fes is dreamy, Bayleigh and Hayleigh are attractive. So was Swaggy. Scottie is even cute, And Rockstar? Her personality is really offputting to me. Drink every time you hear her use the word “privilege” or call Brett a Dick.
Level 6 view themselves as the pretty people. That’s why many sites refer to them as such. It’s tongue in cheek. I think Bayleigh is the prettiest girl in the house.
Doesn’t she kind of remind you of Kenya? She’s a little young to be on the same level, but I think she has the potential. She’s cute…
Brett is a dick.
Didn’t read comments so just wanted to say about Kaitlyn and Tyler and the swearing on his dead father.
Having no idea what it was referring to, Tyler told Kaitlyn yesterday morning to NEVER ask him to do that, that was a Swaggy thing, not his.
Long story short, Kaitlyn climbed in his lap and cried and it was ALL ABOUT KAITLYN.
Fessy has offered to use the pig on Haleigh, as promised, but she must be his distance and not flirt with or touch other guys.
And she told him to stuff it!
POV, not pig
He did use it on Haleigh and Rockstar was out on the block by Sam.
A big problem is that Fessy wants a snowman as a stepping stone to Amazing Race. I don’t know if he had the idea of got it from Swaggy C, who definitely came in wanting a snowman to then use to be on Amazing Race.
Hey, last history, Allison andv??, Brandon and Rachel, Jeff and Jordan, Jessica and Cody…
I wonder if Fessy will still pressure Haleigh to only flirt with him.
lol, snowman!! : )))
I like the autocorrect versions of “pig” and “snowman” better than pov and showmance. It’s like madlibs. : )))
I love Rockstar, and wish she had not done the pots and pans. However, it was hysterical! Sam…loved her speech toward the Haleigh and Kaitlyn, yet did not feel, Haleigh was deserving of it. She is single! Kaitlyn was not/well is now. It seemed sexist of Sam to call out them in such a way, especially since she does the same thing! Makes for good television.
I’m 99% sure that Bayleigh used the term “you people” to JC when she was referring to the term she insulted him by. That’s pretty racist in and of itself. But yeah, stupid argument.
#TeamBay – Notice how the word rolled off JC’s tongue like he’s used it on a regular. And you’re right, midget is the medical term for a person shorter than 4’10” with normal purportions.
Yes, and midget rolled right off Bay’s tongue. both words are hurtful man’s should not be used. Period. And it is not a medical term!! You all are so ignorant it’s painful.
Hayleigh came down and Rockstar came up. Sam tells Rockstar about the chance for the evicted person to return.
I only watch with half an eye so when I saw the warning before the show aired I figured I’d just missed it before. Interesting they decided to show this particular conversation.There have been many others in this and previous seasons they could have chosen to show.
The summer we had a full house of racists, we called it Bigot Brother, they showed it almost from the first episode. The disclaimers kept getting more and more dire. They were practically apologizing for casting so many racists and bigots; It was tragic. One girl was very anti Asian and Julie Chen was losing her mind about it on The Talk.
Every culture has ways that they refer to each other that are fighting words when those outside the culture use them. So why do we get so freaked out about not using the n word or the f word? Is it really so difficult to simply not use the words?
