If you believe "a woman's place is in the home" is garbage, why wouldn't you believe a mans place is at work is garbage also? As to women being more suited for child rearing, etc, that is different from having a negative view of a man being a stay at home dad. Based on the rationale that women are more suited to raise kids and they are the majority of school teachers, I guess some people have negative views of men being teachers.

bingo.

Out of this group, I really don't care who wins this season. None of them grab my attention. However, regardless of how bad or boring the season is, I still like to watch the interaction of the players. If this was a normal season and Paul was a new player, I would give him the nod for playing a great game. But for me, this is like a mediocre pro QB playing against the HS team at his alma mater. You can't give a pro a pat on the back for being great against a bunch of amateurs, especially when they are all sycophants that are playing to make him look good.

Birds of a feather flock together. Paul, Alex, Christmas and Josh are cut from the same cloth. They take great delight in watching the misery of other people. They have no empathy for the feelings of those being attacked and instead of making it easier on the person that is being voted out, they pile on and enjoy every minute of it. They are the worst of the house of deplorable's.

It only remains to be negative, with some people, because people keep perpetuating it as something negative. Women who worked was viewed negatively until people made a conscious effort to quit having a closed mind and recognized that women had a right to make a living just like a man. There's a lot of stay at home dads now. My neighbor is a stay at home dad and home schools his son. His wife ironically is a nurse. I never thought twice about it and certainly didn't think he was someone to laugh at because of it.

It should not have a negative connotation anymore. If that has a negative connotation, should we also continue to have a negative view of women who work instead of staying home and raising her kids?

I read exactly what you wrote. I don't know whether you wrote the other comments about him being a house-husband or stay at home dad, but it seems that you all seem to view it as a negative. I just wanted to know why because I don't think people would attach a negative connotation to it if the roles were reversed and he did what his wife is doing and she did what he is doing, including coming on the show.

60 times in 9 minutes just shows the versatility of the F word. I know for some, the F word is just too much, but I think back to the time when I was growing up, using damn and hell was still frowned upon by the "good" people. The younger folks generally don't see the F word and that big of a negative, so by the time their kids get grown, the F word will just be a part of normal everyday conversation.

I guess he's good under pressure when he's facing a bull, but, when he's facing a bunch of rabid assholes, he gets flustered. If it is not K or A, it's going to be a bad week for him. Even if he doesn't go up, Paul will make sure he sweats.

If this is not the first time, it is the first since like week 2. Unfortunately, since he decided to think for himself, Paul will want him gone the first chance he gets. paul does not want anyone thinking for themselves. And Alex is so far up Pauls ass, if he tells her to cut Jason loose, she will.

I believe deep down Jason has some things figured out. But, I think he is like the girlfriend who doesn't know where her boyfriend lives, doesn't know where he works, doesn't know any of his friends and they only meet right after work and he always has something to do before 11pm. Deep down, she knows he's married but she is so in love, she refuses to see it or admit it. I think Jason knows that something is up between Alex and Paul, but, he just can't or won't let his heart go there.

What is wrong with Kevin being a stay at home dad or house husband? Would you think the same if it was his wife on the show and they introduced his wife as a stay at home mom and her husband was a nurse?

I far as I know, a penalty vote is an automatic vote against you on eviction night. If you are not one of the nominees, you become a 3rd nominee. I believe that happened to one person before. But let's be serious here, if BB did not remove a player who could not participate in normal functions of the game, what grounds do they have for evicting a person for deciding they do not want to eat slop? And, as stated on a number of occasions, the penalty vote is the established penalty for violating the participation rules. Chima and numerous other players have violated almost every rule in the book over the years, In my opinion, Chima would have never been ejected if she had not thrown the mic in the pool.

You went off into the stuff about race and Julie going off on the girl and Cody being transphobic. The blond wasn't expelled and as far as I know, being a racist is not against the BB rules. I thought we were just talking about destroying property and breaking rules.

I don't remember if Jen did something to his cigarettes or not. I still would have looked the other way. As for Matt, he should try to follow the rules, but the previous standard for violating the have not restrictions were a penalty vote. CBS is worried about their Thursday live show and ratings, but seriously, I think they should just add penalty votes and when he reaches a vote total that cannot be overcome by the other player, he is just evicted on the spot. That is the way I would handle it. Then the Thursday show could be all about how he got himself evicted.

Huh? I thought we were talking about Matt not following the rules and people believing he should be punished by expulsion. As to Chima, she threw a mic in the pool. From what I understand those mics are very expensive. I think that is a little different from destroying a shirt, even though at the time, I would have looked the other way if they had thrown Dick's punk ass out.

I think the biggest thing that led to Chima being removed is that she destroyed property and BB wasn't assured that she would not do it again.

Yeah, every season has them but this season seems to have an abundance of tattle-tellers. Everything they hear and everything they say, they have to let Paul know.

You have got to be kidding? He's too lazy and dumb to figure out they would not be in this situation if it wasn't for Paul. And, I bet they still haven't sat down and had a talk with Jason. Probably still gobbling down Paul's BS by the bucket full.

It is called AFP. It is not America's Best Player or Most Valuable Player or Greatest Player or Clutch Player or Best Competitor or Most Honest Player or anything else of substance. It is Favorite player. Doesn't require any good game play or the ability to work out of jams or longest lasting player or most strategic or anything like that. It is who the public liked the best. People should not get butt-hurt because more people liked other players better than they liked their favorite...right?

And he's probably too lazy to figure how he got screwed.

Don't you mean they are really really really really really really really really idiots? I think they proved they were just idiots 3 or 4 weeks ago.

These people are the dumbest players in history. What I don't understand is why every one of them allows Paul to go talk to the other folks on their behalf. That is why they can't put 1 and 1 together to figure out that Paul is playing all of them. But to me, Matt is about the dumbest and laziest guy in the world. This is his fourth time being the pawn and he is too dumb to ask Paul why doesn't he or Alex be the pawn.

Paul could not be put up that week because Mark gave him the safety from the Tree of Temptation or life or whatever. On tonight's show, All I could do was sit there and watch in awe when Josh said he thought Paul had been the hinky vote all season. Xmas immediately took him to task for questioning Paul's motives or his loyalty to Paul. She was like a cult member. There will be no questioning of the deity in her presence.

First if he uses it to backdoor Kevin, it would be one of the weakest moves in BB history to use your veto to veto one of your nominee's to backdoor a 55+ old guy that hasn't won a thing. Second, if you are Maven and they remove one of you from the block to backdoor a guy who hasn't won a thing, what does that say about your game. How weak is your game if the house feels a guy who hasn't won anything is more of a threat than you are as a couple. That is sad.
