Well I can tell you my kid wants to try out for BB and I will NOT sign the waver. She doesn't watch the show enough but thinks it would be 'easy $'. Oh and she's talking Survivor too. All I can say is HELL NO. Lucky for me I don't think she would be willing to leave her pets that long. ;) |

Not that they take 42 year-old not-TV-handsome guys like me very often, but yes... It'd be fun, but without my kitties?... I know allergies are a thing, but I've thought for a long time that the HOH should be able to have his or her pet for their week... That'd be fun. |

I'm not flamboyant enough to be the token gay guy, lol. What would be the reasoning behind someone not signing the release? That your private life can't be discussed on camera? I'm surprised the show would select someone whose presence would make things seemingly more difficult. I don't see anything about Becky that makes her worth the trouble. Was it just because of that train story? |

Unsigned waivers are the reason we get fish alot when the decide to give shout-outs. Its usually friends though more than family. I think in season 15 Aaryns father didnt sign a waiver. He did eventually sign it about halfway through the season (after all the racism stuff happened and the family had to come out and defend her). One of her later hoh win letters came from him and she was shocked when she saw it was from him and asked aloud if she should read it because he didnt sign a waiver. So its not totally uncommon. The twin twist is widely known now. The majority (Day, Jason, Meg, James, Jeff, Jackie, Clay, Shelli, Steve) discussed it in depth late last night and they all believe it 100%. Some very funny stuff with reactions and stories about it. They are calling them thick'ems and minnie (due to the fact one is a bit heavier than the other) among other things. Jeff is planning on grilling her during the Jeff and Austin show (the "podcast" the do at night for the feeders after after dark ends) that should be fun. |

Interesting. I guess if they've dealt with unsigned waivers in the past, it makes more sense why they'd do it this season. It's amusing to me that the hamsters figure out the twist before the show reveals it to them. I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time. What do they think is going to happen when people have little else to do with their time but sit and stew over every little thing? |

I'd think they'd want to time Twin Confronting FOR AfterDark, not after... |

I'm sure production would want it timed for After Dark but they have been intentionally doing their little show after it goes off because they want to give it to the feeders only since we pay for the feeds and they know After Dark is free. This group plays to the feeders quite a bit, especially since they got Chinese food via a live feed vote, after they had been talking about Chinese food all week. It came with a note that it was courtesy of the live feed viewers so they are "paying us back" with a little late night entertainment. |

Plus Austin and a couple others have mocked BBAD as feeds for losers. I guess, meaning if you want to watch them 'in the wild' then pay up and don't be cheap. Da' really screwed up with the twin twist. She's the one who figured it out and organized all the evidence and examples and then Jason sort of took some credit and spread it everywhere in the House. Da' should have kept it secret and used it to pressure Austin and Liz to back her, which could have gotten her Vanessa and Steve. It could still happen because meanwhile, Da' is consistently being voted the #1 fave houseguest, so I am anticipating a push by the DR, if not outright malarkey by BB. For example, I've seen spec that BB could wait until the live show, then announce that Da' was the first to bust the twins, so Liz takes her place in on the eviction chair. BB might do it since the twin twist is a bust and then they can send the OTHER one in anyway after jury starts, in a pandora box. |

I'll be interested in watching the 'they're busted' unfold on the show... They look pretty identical on-screen (though those pre-show photos jbr linked us to showed that they weren't...), but I'd think it would be really tough to pull off faking the 'private conversations' thing for that length of time... |

Day totally screwed up in how she used the twin info. She has now told JuLiz about the speculation and used that as a way to try and "build trust" to get the JuLiz/Austin vote. I would have used that info much differently, I would have gone full-on blackmail lol. Nobody said anything outwardly telling while JuLiz was on the hotseat during the "podcast" show, they mostly just asked questions and they plan on asking the other one the same questions when they switch again to confirm their suspicions. She was visibly nervous and guarded though since Day had just told her that everyone suspects it. Steve has told Vanessa and Becky now too so pretty much the whole house is in on it (minus Austin and John). I can see the DR making a push for Day to stay but I dont see them pulling any crazy shenanigans. It doesnt seem as if there is a push being made yet though. Normally if they are pushing there is some talk or hint of it in other hg convos and thats not happening. These hamsters dont talk a ton about DR though, actually they are rule followers for the most part-no singing, little talk about DR/production etc. |

JuLiz (Julia) fessed up to Vanessa that she is a twin. Vanessa is talking her into telling Austin/Shelli/Clay (Van ran and immediately told Clay/Shelli) and using it to their advantage to keep her around until they both come in then that alliance would have the numbers advantage. Unfortunately I think Vanessa is putting a little to much trust in Shelli/Clay. It was actually quite funny to watch as Julia was very nervous and couldnt hardly get her own name out without laughing. Van coached her on all her tells and what the others were looking for to prove the theory. They both had quite a good laugh about the whole thing. Should be fun to watch on the show. Day is still going and the rest of today was pretty boring. Day/Audrey had another minor blowup, then they decided to try and work together again (maybe a DR push?) nobody is willing to flip the vote but some are lying to Day saying they will.

It will be disappointing to see DaVonne go. I enjoy her DRs, and I haven't noticed that any of the others are as entertaining. |

I fast forwarded thru almost the entire Wed show. I don't have any faves yet, so I'm pretty indifferent to the show. For the first time on TVCH there's a thread (with a lot of participation) asking who's bored with BB. I can't pit my finger on it. Someone suggested that with all the twists and comps, the show has crossed the line from being about the people to being an actual gameshow. I dunno. |

Not watching feeds or reading anything other than what's here (and then I forget 'spoilers' anyway, somehow, so it doesn't matter), I'll still have 'hey... apparently, there is a houseguest named Clay... huh, I forgot that...' moments in the show. Like complaining about 'the new' schedule (that changed five years ago), I agree with (and have said) that last thing KMI mentioned having read... That the show is a lot more game-focused and less personality/character-interaction invested than... it was at some point. Can't pinpoint when - it was gradual - but it's been a bunch of years now that it's been like that. I don't want Season 1, with the five-days-a-week and it wasn't the same game (America votes... well, that was never going to work...), but... There's a little too much game in the game show in its present state, yeah. Of course, I still watch, and as a new season approaches, I always seem to forget about being unsatisfied with last year... |

Usually after the first eviction though, I'm invested to a certain degree with some of the players at least. I don't even dislike Audrey or any of the others enough to hate-watch - yet. LOL |

I'm bored with it too. I'm not watching the feeds or reading much of anything except what is posted here. Still can't remember all their names. I do think it's too much 'game show' or something like that and lacking the character/people development. I also can't figure out all the twists to care. I'm really bummed because this used to be my 'summer fun' show. Hubby won't watch it anymore. Doesn't interest him. |

Still light 'summer fun' for me, but like Survivor, there's a huge We've Seen It All, Many, Many Times factor, for sure. It's gotten old. I'll still like when they're fighting and betraying each other. These early conflicts (whatever the hell Clay & Day fought about last week... I couldn't figure it out, it was such a 'nothing' issue, I figure the DR was saying 'you have to fight about something', so they just made up shit) aren't strong. More fun when trusted allies turn on each other... Here, wisely, few seem to be trusting of many others at all... I don't really like or hate anybody yet. A few 'I'll bet that person would be an annoying roommate' people, but nothing extreme. |

'Fat'/'skinny'.. Okay, but they're not 20 lbs apart, are they? 'Friendly one'... Funny. |

It has become very comp/twist heavy and that has taken alot of the personal element out of the show and made it kind of boring. I'm not at all bored with the feeds though actually the feeds this season have been quite interesting to me. There isnt alot of fighting or crazy drama but there has been alot of gameplay. I find it much more interesting than last year so far. I think this season will get more exciting in a few weeks when the little groups really have to start going after each other. Right now they are picking off the fringe players but there are several core pairs or trios that will eventually have to make moves on each other that could result in some serious betrayals and fireworks. I think the twins are more like 5-10 pounds different, not 20. Liz switched back in right after the new hoh room reveal tonight. Clay/Shelli might actually turn out to be great allies to them. Clay has been working overtime to try and dispel the theory (its not working but hes trying). John is 100% sure now because he found the one tell she cant hide, Julia has a fake tooth that doesnt quite match. Nobody else has noticed that but John told Becky about it. Its still fun watching them trying to examine her. |

I skimmed overnights and Hamsterwatch is having a hissy fit about Jeff 'doing something' while in bed with Liz. Her back was to him and sounds like he jerked off and it landed on her back. Inquiring minds want to know if it's on flashback and if you can report. (I can't believe I'm discussing this. ugh. He may rival some of the most disliked HG ever.) |

Yeah, I was just over at Hamsterwatch for the first time this season and saw the he/she put Jeff on IGNORE for the season, calling him a misogynistic pig. I'm not sure if I'm bored with this season, or if most of the hamsters feel like generic personalities to me. I suppose the good thing about DaVonne going home is that she can get back to her baby girl, and I won't have to hear her talk about how she's doing it all for the kid for the rest of the season. She did make me chuckle, though. Edited by bilki, Jul 10 2015, 09:37 AM.

I watched it live and again in flashback and honestly I cant tell. He was for sure doing something under the covers and some of his facial expressions during it seemed strange, but if thats what he was doing it was very quick as the actual under blanket movement lasted less than 3 minutes. Then he just touches her back and tells her she has a spot on her shirt. You cant actually see anything on his hand when he touches her back and the twins switched right after that and were wearing the same shirt all night. I doubt DR would have let that slide. He is kind of a misogynistic pig but I'm not ready to make the jump to say he was doing THAT. Noms-Meg/Jason James/John with Jeff as the backdoor target. |

Has he been cuddling/kissing with her (er, them) for a bit, and was that happening here, or...? Is the accusation that he was assaulting her while she was sleeping? |

Well thats kind of part of the issue, one of them flirts a little with him and the other doesnt (though both want nothing to do with him now since he is one of the main people trying to investigate the twin thing). She was awake and they were talking through the whole thing but she had a bandanna over her face and had her back to him so she couldnt see what he was doing. They werent cuddling or anything just laying in bed together chatting. I would think though she would have been able to feel that sort of movement right next to her. |

Uh ... gross if it IS what some people think it could be. I would love to see a bunch of still images of the twins together. I don't think their weight is that far off. |

This is why we love BB. Only on this show... I like the helpful red circle the YouTube poster adds for us. He might be... Though one WOULD think he'd not forget about all the cameras on him... But there's nothing to suggest finishing and wiping. 'You have a stain on your shirt' is unfortunate timing, but... I don't think this is anything. |

I don't like his smirk. Of course, I have 'resting bitch face' syndrome so maybe his smirk doesn't mean anything special. :P |

Steve and John are both musicians... Y'all might have already seen stuff related to their music, but JIC. Steve https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=48&v=8WAsFS647nQ Pretty cool. A really different side compared to what we're seeing. John https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=173&v=B6Onk3V4XEg |
