NO, you are not alone. That is the first thing I thought of when I first saw her. She looks like she could be Nicole's sister. And frankly she could really be her sister. Because, as you know, Nicole was adopted by Lionel and his wife.

I wonder if sometimes the audience applause is not so much for how much they like the evicted house guest, but how happy they are that they had been evicted. I heard that the audience were told they could not "boo" houseguests anymore.

Natalie seems a little bi-polar to me. And the word is "vicious".

After watching Big Brother from its inception, I have noticed many houseguests faced with certain eviction go through the identical stages of someone who has lost a loved one. First they are in denial, unable to believe that the other houseguests actually intend to vote them out . Then when assured that they are indeed going home or to the jury house, they display anger and wail about their betrayal and the fact that they don't "deserve" to leave the game. Some go so far as to curse out or call out everyone who should have "had their back" including their so called alliance members. Then they try to "blow up" everyone's game or even try to fight others who they felt opposed them. Once cooled down, they begin to bargain and begin their campaigning. When convinced that their campaigning will not be successful, they enter a depression. They muse about quitting or leaving the game early and self-evicting. They do a lot of crying and moaning in the jury room. Finally, they come to accept the decision of the "house" and come to understand where they failed in their game play and their bid to win Big Brother. Now folks, I am talking about houseguests who were given the courtesy of being told they do not have the votes to stay, not the ones who are "blindsided" on eviction day. I have always thought the blindside was pretty cruel and cowardly.

Was this season of Big Brother touted as the Season of Secrets? Seems like half of the newbies were hiding secrets. Paulie, hiding his relationship to Cody. Tiffany, hiding her relationship to Vanessa. Bronte, hiding her prowess as a mathematician. Natalie, hiding her NFL cheerleader status. Corey, hiding his blatant homophobia or homosexuality depending on which blog or article that you choose to believe. Michelle, hiding her relationship to Dan Gheesling was not necessary, IMO. She already admitted to being a superfan. But her emotional gameplay did not make her much of a threat, maybe more of an annoyance, LOL. However, revealing this information would have made very interesting conversation when it got boring in the house.

But Victor was placed besides others who also "wrecked their cars" and had to beat them first and "pre-qualify" before re-entering the race. As long as he is playing by the rules, how can we even think about judging him negatively? I think he has done an outstanding job following the rules for re-entry and if he makes it to F2, he will have earned my vote.

It doesn't seem fair that Frank was the only one not given a chance to come back in the game. They could have changed the Battle Back competition to allow the first 6 players and the Jury Buy-Back to the first 6 jurors to compete. That way all of the players could have had an equal opportunity to come back into the game. It was very unfair to Frank that he was excluded. If I were Frank, I would protest that decision in some way! Even though I personally do not like him as a person, I think he is a chauvinistic, misogynistic cocky SOB, but Vic has shown he deserves to win this game. He has all the qualities of a Big Brother winner. He is an outstanding physical and mental competitor. He is finally getting his social game together and quickly learning the nuances of the game from Paul. If he makes final two, he deserves the win!

I knew the girl jurors would drop off quickly. They were not motivated to endure the hardships of that challenge. Even if one of them won, they knew that they could never win the game. After being in the jury house living in total serenity and comfort, could you blame them for not wanting to come back into the game to risk being Have-Nots or deal with all the fighting, the negativity and the paranoia? That is if they were not immediately evicted again, LOL.

Yeah, Paulie is despicable for talking about and threatening to put Z up for eviction, all the while accepting her hugs and cuddles and kisses? She even said that she was gonna shower with Paulie. If he allows that and then actually nominate her or backdoor her, he will win the prize for the most obnoxious user in BB history, IMO.

Evil Dick is 53 now. But Jack Owens Jr from BB4 was 58 and made it to Final 6 and Jerry MacDonald from BB10 was 75 and made it to Final 3. They were exceptions to the rule, though.

I have to agree! But when you consider the alternative, it still makes more sense. Not to beat a dead horse, but I would really like to know if anyone on the feeds or BBAD ever heard JMac say anything about trying to build up his body or to get ripped? I know that he occasionally exercised with Austin, but I do not recall him going around the house flexing his muscles, going shirtless, bragging about a six-pack or trying to get one. Remember the answer was "getting ripped. LOOK AT ME !" Why would Vanessa choose that answer over the obvious?

I don't know, and I hate to say it, but Vanessa may have thrown that comp anyway. I think that she would never admit it though. That would make her seem totally stupid since she did not know Steve as well as she thought she did. However, playing the percentages, she may reasoned that Steve taking her was her best option to win first place. She probably thought that he wouldn't have the nerve to evict her, after all that she did for him and all the promises that they made to each other. But, it just seems really strange to me that Vanessa would have thought that JMac would have said that the best thing about being in the house was getting ripped instead of not having to drill people's teeth. Especially when JMac did not brag about his physique or seemed particularly proud of his body this summer. I heard him say several times about how skinny he was and how much he was enjoying his vacation from dental work. Was anyone else aware of JMac stating that he was trying to get ripped? Maybe Vanessa couldn't stand the thought of coming in second and adopted the position that it was either all or nothing. After the way it turned out, she would never admit it. And it goes without saying, I could be entirely wrong.

I think she added the part about her financial status so that they would know that the money was not that important to her. So no need to feel sorry for her! I agree that she and Danielle Reyes were the best females ever to play. But remember, Danielle lost because of her diary comments, maybe that might have kept Vanessa from fully owning her game. I respected Danielle's game because none of the HG's, except Jason, knew about her manipulations until the very end. But I respect Vanessa's game more because she was able to force the HG's to tell her of their secret alliances and consult with her before nominations and controlled practically everyone's HOH for a good portion of the game. And while most were aware of her manipulations, no one except Becky was smart enough to even try stop her and she was still in an alliance with everyone in the house at one point. She didn't win the game, but she got media exposure and possibly a CBS television show called Poker Face. Because Steve had the guts to evict her, I agree, that he definitely deserved to win. I agree, as well. She absolutely deserves to be in the next all stars game and I refuse to feel sorry for a multi-millionairess.

LOL, Steve may be convinced that he would lose to her, but she is definitely not so sure. Only 4 more hours left! I will be so glad when this is over.

Hmmm, I wonder what can I believe. This article says she and Steve did tell Liz together. http://bigbrothernetwork.com/big-brother-17-vanessa-rousso-steve-moses-reveal-deal-liz-nolan/
