Kudos to Amanda for a great paint job and for getting him to pull his hair back...he looks older, saner, more mature and more handsome and he has a flag on his face nonetheless. LOL whodathunk?

I'd like to know if the MVP can nominate the HOH for the block?

I like Howard's game thus far staying under the radar...I do think he will surface when things are along aways. However, he would do terribly in Survivor. He is not coordinated and he is not comfortable with water and I doubt he'd be any good with bugs or building a shelter or making fire. His muscles seem to make a lot of women cream, but they are surely just show since he does not have much by way of endurance...as witnessed by not keeping up with Helen while running.

Spencer is the Machiavelli in the house and he is used to having that ability to influence people as shown by his body language.

Helen comes across as real and sane And she is pretty also...so yea I'd like to see her win. I can not imagine that she is not aware of the racism directed toward her and that makes a person feel alone and ostracized so I can not fault her for having some emotions to vent on occassion.

thanks for the ans Manatee... Now this is one place where I would have just liked your response as a thank you, but without that option...I have to post a reply...wish there were a like button for acknowlegement and agreement.

I recall a bad racist joke "what do you call a black test tube baby?" Ans: Janitor in a drum...Now it makes me both wince and laugh...why? because while it is not right and dreadfully narrowing that a person of a certain skin color is relegated to being a janitor in our society...the fact that they are makes that reality subject to the brand name of a cleaning substance. the juxtaposition makes the humor. We can not deny that Asians have differently shaped eyes, that they eat rice and are masseuses and manicurists in large numbers. Helen is not among those Asians, but these women want to belittle her by cramming her into those stereotypes. They know that they are being awful and racist and are laughing at their boldness at being so without using the racist word "chink" although with the welfare reference GM even went there so I do not put it passed them to do so again. They only exhibit their own pettiness and low character in their statements, but I am glad that they are not being censored, because we ought to know how they think. Too often people who are like this manage to congregate in their little cliques and espouse their hate without the rest of us being aware of what is really motivating them. I like being able to see their little nasty hearts of virulence. I would like to see them out before jury both to thwart them from the money and to prevent them from making any decisions on the winner.

they liked him the way the wolf likes the sheep

If Jeremy is going to be there then he too is a whore...see it is not a sex thing but a social milieu lacking integrity. Madison Avenue which is mainly male dominated is often called a whorehouse, for the same reason. The idea is of selling oneself not of selling one's sex.

Well I have a better one, but do not block me for posting it please because it is really what happened. I was in a 7-11 on Route 66 when a guy walked in and asked for some "Black Ass" everyone was horrified. Into the shocked silence he repeated his request louder...and a man came in and translated giving directions to the Block Ice store.

Jerkemy comes to mind

Agreed and we still have not resolved the potroast issue since potroast is a dish accepted as a word in the Webster's dictionary and potroasts would only be the plural of that...Elyssa was robbed

Did he ever appear intelligent?

Slim I did not think that Southern ladies pushed for violence against themselves...how does that fit into their Southern charm?

thanks for the refresher forgot that initial alliance...that they included him shows that alliance is not racist but man-ist seeking out the muscles and testosterone. Howard is allowed to be under the radar and he is comfortable there since the melanin aspect has trained him from childhood to take that position in society and it does give him a real advantage to play a very wise game. He is not expected to mingle with the majority...and that is underscored by the two racist females in the house. they only let Mc in because of HOH and Nick is the Dan of the group, but is he strategic? Amanda is, but her abilities are really more as a Judas goat for keeping them appraised of what the women are doing. They will cut her quickly the only question is whether it will be before or after Mc...

This is what makes it reality TV folks and why we watch when I heard that Paula Dean had said her racist remarks years ago, I did not think it right to slam her for them especially since she disavows them now. while I know that it is difficult for people to give up their prejudices, we also have to have the grace to allow them to do so.

Candice proved her smarts, but will she be able to rally the women...herding cats...

I had an interaction with a hillbilly who kept saying something about a mar. what is a mar? I asked...turned out to be a mirror.

Judd? there is a Judd here? LOL

what choice? And he is not really a part of moving company, he is a tag they add for the support they need in votes. He is glad to be included, but he is aware that it is a nominal inclusion.

well if she is in bed with him and getting amorous...a partner has both the right and duty to let the other know about food in the teeth, a booger hanging from the nose, or the fact that personal hygiene is lacking. that is if one is willing to continue to be with someone whose personal hygiene is not up to par.

this is the answer to my question about her pissed from the DR. I did not realize she did not know about the night vision But thank you for answering since I thought it was more complicated.

yes manatees, I too often want to "like" a quote rather than reply to it. About blacks sticking together, they do. And the melanin deficient folks also stick together and that causes the melanin rich to stick together. However, on this show, I have not seen Candice and Howard making an alliance, so for one of the racists to say that only underlines their racial bias. They see in racist terms. Calling the gay guy a queer is one step better than calling him a faggot which refers to when those who had that orientation were burned for it. Humans have been very hard on their fellows for centuries and we have only in my lifetime as a society attempted to realize that to single out those who are different is wrong. A lot of people have not given up those notions because they come from people who have them and in living with those whom they deem different, they see a truth to the stereotypes and then extend that to be a negative over the whole group. That is what prejudice is it is prejudging. So assuming that those who are dark are sticking together even when they do not in the show, becomes an easy leap. In order to keep the MVP secret though, BB must ask for a nominee and a replacement at the time of choosing.

She said they were to spill from one cup to the other. So trading cups is cheating. She did not have to say "do not trade cups" she said how to do it. What would not have been cheating and would have given an advantage would have been to overfill and allow the drippings to go into the other hand and pour all of it together into that big jar. Doing that would not have been cheating and would have presented the difficulty of skating on slime with one's hands out instead of using them to balance, so would have engaged more physical skill

Could not stand him. Glad to see him go. Given the make up of the house, not the first one who ought to have though. Why aren't these people incensed over the racist remarks? I guess there is no real social sense among them since they do not say anything. I like GM's brashness, but it is not a NY thing to be racist. In general the city is tolerant by necessity of difference and enjoys its melting pot status. If she said that welfare was insurance for African Americans, she would be admitting to a right wing fallacy, using the N word made it an utterly racist remark. And Alyssa (the one who was in the showmance with David) talking about how an Asian ought to cook rice shows more insensitivity and now someone saying someone is Jewed as though a person's religion is significant as to their ability to interact are all indicators of attitudes that are steeped in prejudice and I'd like to see those people gone before they gain the money for being in the jury house. OK Slim what is TAR?
