How does Tyler know about Sam advantage? was it in after hours?

how does that work? if she gets voted out, walks out the door and then back in?

Bayleigh backdoor would devastate Swaggy

Sam pretty much told him. We don't know exactly how it works yet. People are flipping out because it said you have a chance to re enter the game or something when she read it but I'd bet a lot it's guaranteed. Sam told Tyler something like she stays even if she gets voted out after the votes are read.

I'm finding this season boring so far. Granted I haven't followed super close but I think I haven't because I haven't been pulled in like past recent seasons of early drama/2 people declaring war on each other. Like Tiffany and Frank, Vanessa and everyone, Cody and Jessica vs everyone. Josh and Mark.

This year it may become good as there are some characters but no fuses have been lit to get this season rocking yet. Somebody has to cross the line bigtime to get this party started. Everyone seems to just be happy to be there so far. And Tyler who secretly controls the narrative working both sides seems to be more like Derrick/no drama than a Vanessa/max drama.

I know what you mean. I think for me it's because there isn't one side I like. I just randomly like some people from both sides. So far I like Rachel Tyler Steve Scottie Brett/Winston Kaitlyn and Hayiegh. I like Faysal when he isn't talking to girls. I don't really like anyone else but Swaggy is good entertainment. I don't know why I like Kaitlyn but I do. I never thought I'd like her.

I kinda like Kaitlyn too. Probably because she at least isn't boring and will eventually get some drama going with someone. Plus interesting to see how far she goes with being jealous of Faysal hanging with other women/will she showmance him while she has a boyfriend at home.

The last 30 minutes or so has been good. Tyler trying to get Kaitlyn to flip. She's not with it yet but I can see it happening. If she does flip it's really Swaggy and Bayleigh's fault.

this is what happens when you put new players in. instead of returnees who are going to start drama for airtime

Tyler just made a huge mistake telling Kaitlyn the 6 are voting Steve out. I mean it's not a mistake in reality but knowing what we know about Rockstar's plan it is.

What's Rockstar's plan? Is Steve leaving or will it be 7-6 against Sam and that's why Tyler trying to convince Kaitlyn?

It's 7-6 for Steve to stay as of this second. That's if Kaitlyn doesn't flip and Rockstar doesn't go through with her plan.

Steve told Rockstar if it's 9-4 he knows Brett and Winston voted to keep him. If it's 7-6 he knows they lied to him and he's out for blood. Rockstar's plan is that she wants her and Hayleigh to switch their votes to evict Steve if they think the bros are voting Sam out to make Steve think the bros lied to him. Rockstar told Swaggy this too and he thinks it's a good idea.

The obvious problems with this plan are that Steve is going after the bros side no matter what. There's no need to risk this in such a close vote. There's no upside. Plus Rockstar and her alliance kinda wants Angela out first so it doesn't even matter who Steve targets.

The crazy thing is pretty much most of the Foutte alliance think the bros are voting to keep Steve. Tyler just told Kaitlyn they're not. She might now want Sam to stay but if not and she tells the Foutte alliance that Tyler told her it's going to be 7-6 it could ruin that hinky vote scenario.

Cool that Rockstar's thinking outside the box about the game but this would be dumb. As you said Steve going for the other side so you can't risk him for so little.

I think if Tyler really wants Steve out he will convince Kaitlyn fairly easily as she sees him as her closest ally. Unless is she bluffing Tyler when she says she trusts him most? It seems genuine she trusts him but haven't been following closely. You think she would trust Fessy most though as everyone knows Tyler playing the fence a bit. While Fessy is/was? her best buddy.

Why does she not trust fessy anymore? Just because she mad at him for flirting with women?

The past few minutes is Kaitlyn talking to Fessy about why she doesn't trust him. Basically she's jealous because Fessy was supposed to be her number 1 but if he got into a showmance she would be at best 2nd. Most people think she likes him also so that might play into it.

Foutte does not know Tyler is playing the fence. People on the outside think they do because it's very obvious to us but they really don't know. Bayleigh thinks it because she was going to be the replacement nominee but everyone else seems to forget it. Steve realizes it and I would assume Kaitlyn realizes now after their talk.

Kaitlyn sways with the wind and now Tyler is definitely her number 1 ally. She is crazy and I love her for it. This could all change if Tyler's aura is different when he's not HOH.

I forgot Faysal kind of realizes Tyler is playing both sides as well.

Swaggy Fessie and Kaitlyn had a convo. There's a good chance everything has changed in her mind again. We'll have to see.

No one has been evicted yet, give it some time. It pretty much always starts off friendly before blood is drawn; last season was an exception because of Cody. Even BB17, when the feeds came on Vanessa was crying and wanting to go home. Things change. Tiffany being mad at people was week 2-3 iirc also. It’s kinda like judging a survivor season pre-merge, it’s just too early to tell yet. Wait an eviction or two and we’ll have a better idea. I think there’s definitely good potential for some fireworks

Rockstar just perked up in front of everyone when Steve they were counting votes and Steve said the bros promised their vote again. I really think they might go through with this.

Swaggie and Faysal think Angela would nominate Kaycee. Also complaining that Hayleigh and Kaitlyn are trying to be cool with everyone so they can stay off the block. These guys are something else.

I'm not saying I don't like Steve as I haven't watched enough yet. I probably would like him but my first impression is he knows the cameras are rolling too much. Seems fake wanting to make sure he is always politically correct.

I remember one convo of him talking with I think Rockstar where they were talking about how they don't like Winston. That he must be a doctor blah blah. Then he turns to the camera and is like "not that there is anything wrong with doctors out there. we love doctors." C'mon bro loosen up a little.

And I keep waiting for him to break out his leather jacket and flip his cig around his neck and start reciting nursery rhymes.. Jack and Jill went up the hill both with a buck and a quarter... Jill came down with 2.50 OWWW!

I'm pretty sure he was joking with the doctors comment not being politically correct. I could be wrong but that's how I took it at least. He has a dry sense of humor.

Swaggy: I'm tired of sneaking sex with Bayleigh

Foutte: We have to talk to Kaitlyn more.
Also Foutte: Everyone on one bed talking about Kaitlyn (drama they actually started) while Kaitlyn is having fun with the other side.

a 7-6 blindside week one would be amazing. especially if it’s unintentional like this

It could go anywhere from 7-6 Steve stays to 9-4 Sam stays if they get Kaitlyn to flip and Rockstar/Hayleigh flip too. Part of me wants to see it but the other part of me wants the power out and Steve to stay. Also if it happens the Foutte alliance could be completely over and just steamrolled and I don't want to see one side dominate.

Rockstar is getting closer and closer to my least favorite houseguest. She has called herself a mastermind twice already. Both times it was over basic things like forming an alliance. Her conspiracy theories are crazy. She now thinks it's possible Brett has the coup d'etat. I also don't like how she changes her voice depending on who she's talking to. I do respect the fact that she's actually thinking and trying to play the game.

Rachel and Angela have been crying all day because of this:

Jc seems unaffected and what he did was much worse and it's not even close IMO.

I love that they all think Winston is a doctor

Angela's "ghetto" comment is disgusting.
I dont think Rachel did or said anything wrong (in that conversation)

what JC did is sexual assault and he should be booted

If he wasn't so small I'm sure people in the house wouldn't tolerate it.

The bros are now considering flipping their votes. We might not know who's going home prior to the live show which hasn't happened on a first eviction that I can remember.
