I'm not liking this season at all. So stupid. I could barely understand what that creature was saying to the contestants during the HOH and how the heck did Matt know what he was saying? And why does Jared keep calling Reilly*bro*? I had to turn on closed caption to figure it out! Stupid. |

How did Matt hear the clues for the veto competition? Oh, and I sure hope they sanitized that tuba between players  |

My DD read an article dealing with Matt. If I recall correctly, the producers tested him before the show started. Which voices he could hear better, which headphones worked best, where to place speakers in the house, and so on. There is a monitor with voice to text so whenever rules for competitions are being read, he can read them.

Oh, and I sure hope they sanitized that tuba between players I think that the times for all of the POV competitors were not revealed is very telling about how Matt did in the comp. Info from live feed coverage Matt had a terrible time with this competition. It was so bad the feeds were down for 18-19 hours for the comp and to work through the reprecussions. Once they came back, the houseguests were saying how bad they felt for him, Hisam said if he hadn't won the POV and one of his nominees were removed from the block he could not nominate Matt as a replacement (his back up nominee) because he had no chance at winning the comp.

The timing is suspicious and not all that factual given that Matt didn't hear Julie excuse him from the DR during the live eviction last week. It should be the easiest environment in the house to accommodate his needs and they weren't. |

that's my thoughts too, that they should be making more accommodations for Matt. This comp was completely unfair to him and he should have been excused from it and a replacement chosen

This comp was completely unfair to him and he should have been excused from it and a replacement chosen He should be able to compete in every competition - excusing him would change the mechanics of the game. They should have modified the comp and used a vision based puzzle for clues instead of something sound based. |

I'll be honest ~ Hisam is an ass. He is so condescending and I'm glad that Cerie talked about his Veto speech. I don't think it will help but at least someone who has some power in the house can address it.

Hisam has definitely gotten far too cocky in this game! I'm glad his own alliance is recognizing it also

Bunch of lemmings. I hope they go after Hisam next week. This is a spoiler about one of the houseguests who is rumored to be worse than Hisam but they are editing this person to make him seem like a good guy. Don't look if you don't want to know who it is. Cameron. I have heard he is creepy around the girls. |

Bunch of lemmings. I hope they go after Hisam next week. I totally agree. I was so disappointed that everyone voted against Reilly. When they do this on seasons, it makes it so boring and not worth watching. I just wish ONE person would have thrown a vote at Cameron to piss Hisam off. I cannot stand the guy. And everyone hugging the outed house guest and saying I love you just ticks me off. |

I couldn't even make it through the episode and I turned to another program. I put BB back on during the last five minutes to see who got voted off and then realized why I haven't watched an entire season in years. Either it is really that stupid…or I am just old.😂 |

I don’t want to watch another second of Hisam, he’s so arrogant and condescending. He better be the next to be evicted. I’ve never watched Survivor so the Cirie and Jared twist isn’t the least bit interesting to me. When they all vote unanimously and cater to what the HOH wants for the week it makes the show very boring.

I really do hope Hisam goes next. Agreed! I was kind of hoping they would keep Riley and put him in his place. If they let her alliance vote for her and only one person on Hisem’s alliance voted for her, she would have stayed & he wouldn’t know who it was. I like the guy that stayed, but I liked Riley too. I dislike that for several seasons now, they ALWAYS vote the way the HOH wants them too, instead of doing what is truly best for their game. |

I only caught about 1/2 of Sunday night’s episode, but looks like that 1/2 was spent on the HOH comp, which I tend to fast forward through anyway. I was glad Felicia won. Having to go back and get that stuff poured on you over and over again afterwards, had to be miserable…and those goggles were worthless as the slimy stuff filled up inside the goggles. I can see why they want Hisam to go…he came in after she won and basically told her who she is to put up and how to play, as if he was HOH again. He also is walking around and saying that someone else needs to win comps besides him. I’d want him gone too. Of course, you don’t know if their back door plan will work or not because he could get picked for the veto comp & could win it. I hope no one tips him off so he doesn’t see his eviction coming. He will be shocked! I was cracking up when they kept showing Felicia fiddling with that burger  |

Hopefully he won't get picked for veto comp and they can backdoor him. I can't wait to see the look on his face if that happens.  |

I love Big Brother and look forward to it every summer but this season is hard to watch. The scary verse episode last night was so dumb and cheesy and took up way too much of the episode. I totally agree with this! And it was so hard to understand! |

I've watched the first episode and a few minutes of the last eviction. I'd rather read Jokers and Reddit, which I do. I think I may tune in for the next one just to see Hisam's reaction to being put up for eviction. Hope they follow through. I saw just a little of him and boy is he a turn off.

Has anyone except Izzy figured out Jared and Cerie's connection? Is Jared stupid enough to tell Blue so he can get in her pants?

I know he is giving Blue a lot of attention though. I guess I need to watch again. |

They should have modified the comp and used a vision based puzzle for clues instead of something sound based. I agree and disagree. In the past when someone got an injury and using crutches, casts etc. They simply sat out on competitions. They didn't create "sitting only" competitions. If you enter a competition that will have challenges that involve sounds, and you are hearing challenged that's simply a fact of the game. Not everyone has a even playing field anyhow. People are different ages, endurance strength etc.
Back on Survivor does anyone remember if CBS altered the physical challenges to accommodate Chad's prosthetic leg?

He was the first winner, correct? Was so long ago I don’t think they made any accommodations for him just like on survivor. They’ve had a couple people on there with prosthetic legs that they have not made accommodations for. I haven’t watched all season what kind of injury does this guy have? |

The current season of Amazing Race Canada has a player with two prosthetic legs in a team with his girlfriend. They still have to complete the same challenges as everyone else, and if there is one he really can't do then she does it. He did one challenge upside down in a tree doing dance moves!

ETA I meant to quote Country Ham, but I guess I grabbed a piece of @chritine58's quote. |
