I watched AfterDark from my DVR earlier.

But I was doing other things at the same time.

I do remember hearing $25,000 mentioned, but more as it being the difference between second place and payout for anyone who makes jury.

(2nd place gets $50,000 - before taxes - and does NOT get the weekly stipend. Thus, this implies that anyone who makes jury and gets paid about 15 weeks of stipend is making around $25,000, which seems rather more than the around $750 per week that I remember being discussed in previous seasons, so either I heard wrong, or Vanessa may be under the impression that they get paid about $2000 per week. Hmmmm, maybe that is what she was told SHE would get paid, since I believe she was recruited and may have a special deal?)

I didn't hear anything about buying Julia a car.

As far as the twins talking about splitting the money between them, I think it falls outside the rules somehow only because they are immediate family.

I had read or heard on the feeds something about Vanessa promising a car to someone but that was a few weeks ago. Also remember one twin saying that if the other won the $50,000 then she would get half ($25,000) but, again, didn't hear that last night. 

I was under the impression that the stipend was $1,000 @week ($15,000 for the full season).

If you thought his nomination speech was odd, check out his blog ....

FB to 1:51pm BBT .... Julia says "White rice is made out of flour, right?"

I don't understand what more you want these people to do in the house. They at least entertain us sometimes. I think this is a good year. Quit watching if you just want to complain all the time.

I'm 100% with you, fred

It seems that in Vanessa's mind that she is the only one allowed to play the game.

Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware they were sequestered individually prior to the re-enter the game comp. That makes perfect sense. The commiserating doesn't take place until afterwards when all the HGs are out of the game for good.

I was confused because I remember one of the evicted HGs bringing in a tape/cd and they all watched it together of how they got evicted & who won the next HOH comp, but I'm assuming that doesn't happen until much later in the jury.

My bad, mayzee - - -Shelli and Jackie are already in the jury house. Sorry for the bad info. Guess my memory isn't all that good.

Last night while Julia and James were playing pool she called James a "meanie foo-foo". This is notable as it was the only sentence she uttered all evening without some form of the "F" word in it.

If Becky gets voted out on Thursday she will be reunited with her 2 BFFs in the jury house. They will have a week to share sob stories about how Vanessa screwed them over by getting other HGs to do her dirty work.

 

 

I think that casting the HGs for Big Brother is one of the problems the producers are having with the show. In the past seasons, the cast was generally diverse enough that most of the fans had a HG to root for or against. This season, not so much diversity, but at least most of the HGs are fans of the show and are familiar with how to play the game.

Not much diversity??  .... let's see, there's a black woman, a red neck Asian, a gay woman, a gay man, a trans-gender, a wrestler and a socially awkward geek. What more would you add?

As far as CBS ruining Big Brother please check the ratings. If you Google Big Brother 17 ratings for last Sunday's show you will find:

"BIG BROTHER DELIVERS SEASON HIGH SUNDAY RATINGS

·         BIG BROTHER UP ACROSS-THE-BOARD WITH DOUBLE DIGIT PERCENTAGE GROWTH; TOP BROADCAST OF THE NIGHT IN A18-34

At 8PM, BIG BROTHER SUNDAY averaged 5.81m (up +17% from last week), 1.9 in A18-49 (+12%), 2.2 in A25-54 (+16%) and 1.4 in A18-34 (+17%), all season highs for a Sunday broadcast.  BIG BROTHER was the #1 broadcast in A18-34."

As long as CBS continues to give the viewing public what they want, they're not going to change it. And that's fine with me!

well, last year we had that Double HOH every week so it was very confusing.. so many HOH's, lol ...☺...

Last year Frankie and Caleb were the first HOHs with Caleb prevailing

  Anyone know who the man and woman in the bottom left corner are?   https://www.facebook.com/thebigrbrothershow/photos/a.1451794135061637.1073741828.1446466548927729/1634075570166825/?type=1

The facebook picture looks photoshopped to me

"genderqueerness" ....  "transphobic" .... 

I try to learn one new word each day. But learning two is overloadness for me.

Bought my live feeds on Saturday I hope that you get the commision from it I followed the link on this page. So I kinda like the ability to watch all Seasons I watched part of season 1 wow way different than I expected. I didn't start watching until Season 3.

I did the same Janis. Watching some of season 1 gave me a new appreciation for the current version of BB.

I’m hoping that the live feeds won’t be peppered with commercials (the same ones over and over and over again) like the content is on CBS All Access.

We never did get any more info on the activity trackers. I think they were only used as the basis for one have/have not comp.

But the stats are posted on the CBS Big Brother page. Interesting to note that Victoria lost 5 lbs. while in the house (so she had no problem fitting into her gold dress). Derrick lost 3 lbs. .... Cody gained 2 lbs.

Anyone know if the backyard interviews will be on the live feeds tomorrow night after the show?

We got a true look at this guy's character (or lack of) tonight.

From Morty's live show recap:    "I'm the best player, I know," says Frankie. Frankie says by doing this to him, they have created the most powerful person in this game. When he steps out the door, they are connecting him with his millions of followers and they are reconnecting him with the jury. And he is the most convincing speaker in the house. They are looking at the person who will single handedly pick the winner of the game."

I voted 20 times for Donny and will everyday!  I want to see  all of the jaws to drop when Donny win AFP.

Me too

Usually everything on this show is done for a reason. That is until the pooch showed up. Hopefully it has a good home.

We're still looking for a reason for the activity trackers.

Does this mean the entire audience will be sequestered until after the show or something. None of the people have access to twitter, social media? At least we know Frankie will leave.

You called it, LenRay ......  Should my assumption be correct, CBS will electronically block all cell phone transmissions and lock the fake audience in the studio with no potty breaks.     

On the feeds earlier they were talking about going to bed early as BB was turning off the lights at 10PM BBT so they could get up early. Maybe the eviction will be taped tomorrow with a fake audience that won't boo Tinkerbelle. We'll know if the live feeds are off until after Tuesday night's show.

Frankie's meltdown continues. He paces back and forth in the bathroom mumbling his Veto Mtg speech  ... he again tries to get into the DR but they won't let him in ... he sits in the LR with Cody, Victoria and Derrick jabbering on constantly while wringing his hand.

After the way he's trashed many of the other HGs, I gotta admit that it's fun to watch. 

I hope BB stays out of this and lets nature take its course.

Wondering what happens to the fish after the season is over.

Perhaps they are leased with someone coming in once @ week to clean the tank. Then on to the next job after BB ends?

Also, when I click on "go to first unread post" I'm taken back two or three days to something I read a day or two ago.

Same problem
