You can't hand out friendship bracelets or decide who has to go after an hour of talking to people. The two week "get to know you period" would be a good thing.

I was so sick of hearing the friendship crap last year that I wanted to puke when I saw Paul back in there this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason some of my posts just haven't posted lol. I replied to others that just haven't showed. Been having severe thunderstorms here all week and I'm losing internet with my satellite dish not to mention power for several hours yesterday. So I'm late responding to other comments.

I've never understood why BB does the opening night eviction BS, but they seem to do it about every season. In a game where inter-personal relationships are such a huge part of the game, it doesn't make sense to have such quick evictions. I would prefer a double eviction after two "get to know you weeks" rather than the quick eviction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine how crushing it would be to go thru the whole procedure to get in the house, waiting anxiously in seclusion for the day to finally come and then to be thrown away for nothing. And then to have to sit again for weeks for that small opportunity to get back in. Seems very cruel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I would not have blamed Cameron if he would have given CBS the double salute after the competition to get back in the house. He probably spent 50 times more hours in seclusion than he did in the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMarty Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I really feel bad for Cameron, he was a fan. So many HG's are "found" and have no idea what the game really is. To most of the HG's this year it's a 3 month vacation of eating, sleeping and having sex. Josh is no worse than ED was. Sorry, I think the Josh we saw the 1st half of the season was all an act. Personally, I think Josh will be the one to get Paul out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to rely on the good old VCR, and someone at home to remember to record it. ha ha ha... Showing age now... When I did view it, it was appalling. The so called "sheep" have no one else to blame other than themselves. They treat Paul as some sort of deity, I just don't get it. To address the fact that you would like humans to be more self actualized... I wish. I see a steep downward decline in that dept. Our youth (not all, but those who get the attention) seem to have become so desensitized to the point where everything to them is no more than a video game. It's like they don't even know what the empathy means, let alone have that attribute. Look at all the crap on the FB live that has been happening lately. I am one who truly believes it all starts at home, and I have a real problem with video games, TV and social media being the new babysitters. Parents need to be more engaged and be well, parents! I wonder how the HG's parents will perceive their children's actions? actually you show your age more by your values...than by the fact that you remember using a VCR...there are so many factors reducing people to what we see as the character of the generation that it will be a wonder if there is any actual teaching to be done in the universities any longer.

Son, there are some of you young ones on here that really give me faith in the future... Then again, there are some that make me wonder... I could say SMH... I just learned what that means! I love you younger people that are willing to "school" an old person, like myself on the new acronyms on the web. I only know military ones... So, to those of you who have helped me... Thanks so much... You know who you are! I wish all people had the basic values that should be evident to all... 1. Treat people the way you wish to be treated. 2. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. 3. Do unto others, what you would want done unto you. (basically, 1 & 2 combined) That said, I hope all of you get to live a life like I have. There have been ups and downs, peaks and valleys, good times and bad times. There has been feast, there has been famine. There was war, and there was peace. There was history, and then there is revisionist history (it's up to everyone to tell the difference..PLEASE do your own research!). But most of all, there has been LOVE. Love for our families, love for our brothers and sisters in arms, love for our neighbors, and most important, love for (and forgiveness for) our enemies. Maybe that is a little too much to ask of others, but I believe that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior... And I will NEVER apologize for that. I wish you all the best....

I wish you all the best.... the problem with your basic values is that you do not recognize that these people do not love themselves ...they only want to be supported and allowed to fulfill their wants like a two year old does...they want to be allowed and in that desire they are actually not interested in having any interference so they don't want to interfere with others..they don't want to treat others...they text rather than speak...and they only want to be texted back...the less they interact the better...interacting with a screen is their milieu...and that makes for an entirely different way of living.

Well said... and also, very sad. I saw a report a couple months ago that stated that our young ones can not spell the words "you are" instead they spell it ur, they (at a 12th grade level can not write in cursive) again, sad. Also, they, as I stated earlier, have no idea about how the real world actually works. Everything is a virtual game to them. Some people hold me in some sort of contempt because I do not give into the "I am owed" philosophy that seems to be the norm. We live in the land of plenty, if you are willing to work for it, and you work hard, you can achieve it! Your recognition of the youngsters not loving themselves is spot on. How can these children love themselves when told over and over that they are : fat, white, black, skinny, bald, dumb, ugly, not worth anything, etc... Love begins with with those around you who are willing to make a difference, i.e. their family, friends, teachers and fellowship. I wish I could have 1,000 families... OK, be careful what you wish for...right? I do have 13 kids plus my own that myself and my better half have raised... They are terrific! All they wanted was a chance! I always pray for Jesus to encompass those who need Him most, in his white light of love, safety, faith, protection, and health (spiritual, mental, physical and dental..just to check them all off).. I have never prayed for money. But God willing, IF HE sees fit, I will take myself to task and make sure that those who are most deserving and neediest, will receive His Grace. Charity begins at home, and I will start right here at home. There are so many kids in the US of A that need good homes and families that will love them unconditionally. Now, before I get in trouble... I guess I should say something about the show... Oh yeah, I detest bullies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOC Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I read somewhere else that Paul and Alex were trying to get Josh to start bullying Kevin to make it easier to get hum out. Alex wanted Josh to go after Kevin for his weight and age. Josh said he wouldn't do it because he respected Kevin. Paul told him it was ok because Kevin doesn't respect him (Josh). But Josh held his ground and said no. Anyone else hear this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Josh held his ground and said no. Anyone else hear this? No, hadn't heard it and also don't have feeds. However, if it's true it really says a lot about how low and pathetic the cast is when Josh, arguably the one who suffers from the deepest insecurities, is able to muster enough strength to stand his ground against Paul (and Alex) on the issue of refraining from bullying, an activity he normally would not hesitate to do when NO ONE ELSE IN THAT HOUSE dares to go against the wishes of Paul.
