last season was the worst. I lost interest in early august. It was too predictable. None of the eviction votes were competitive as everyone followed the house.

The one with Enzo was even worse. Completely boring from the start with little change of course.

Last three season or so people form this monster alliance of 6-8 people, control the votes and the rest of the house is too stupid to pick up on this. It makes for a really boring season to watch. Seasons where there were better players those early monster alliances were sniffed out immediately and broken up. I don't understand how in this season not one person has put those twins up. Even Vanessa I would think would find it in her best interest to break up that Austin, Liz, Julia alliance.

They are only three and have control of the house via virtue of HOH win. The good, smart players in the game in the past never depended on comp wins. They just won when they had to.

Steve's HOH was stupid too. Maybe one of the worst unstrategic evictions in the history of this show.

Danielle asked Brit a few minutes ago "Do you think America hates me?" Brit told her she didn't know but she thinks they did the wrong thing by voting out Janelle.

Look on Brit's face after Frank won HOH was worth a thousand words, "What the F**** did we just do"

Hope she realizes she just got played on her way out the door this week. OTOH I think Boogie sees her as a tool anyways and won't nominate her. Have a feeling Dan goes up this week.

I'm done watching this show for the summer. Hated how they formatted the season to begin with. Was excited to see the coaches finally get in the game. Really just wanted this to be the one Jani finally won one.

Could care less about the rest of these players. They really are stupid. Hope Dan spanks em all in the end.

Apparently he headbutted Joe and threw something at Janelle as well.

OMFG!!!!! That's freakin hilarious!!!!

Looks like Willie turned out to be this season's Cappie. That's so funny. His HOH pretty much went the same way.

with everything that has been going on they could have had a much better show. There were fights, backstabbing, flip-flopping and more. You would think Shane is the most important HG if you didn't know better. Even people at home with no feeds or interent knew he wasn't going to use the veto though--duh!!!!!!!

Never understood why folks shy from using it. Especially when you can only make friends with it. The HOH has to be more concerned with the three enemies he's about to make and probably doesn't want to add a fourth with the Veto winner. Probably last on his agenda. Then again, the only saving grace is that as HOH at least one of those three enemies goes home.

I think they are updating everything else that happened on the next show. Veto Comp episodes tend to be one of the lamest episodes. All the good stuff happens after it's used anyways.

Good for you, Smass...Watching the feeds here it seems Janelle has totally reversed her anti Boogie policy. Now she's all about saving Frank...confusing...things change so quickly....Wil, who's annoying hair is in a bun now, was listening to Boogie like he was the Buddha or something. Can't believe Janelle will really let her fledglings vote for Frank, who gets uglier everytime I see him. Hope this is a ruse of some sort to dash Boogie's dreams asunder...

Well, there's an old saying in psych that goes, "You can't escape who you are." I suppose that fits here. She made the same mistake in All Stars that she made in season 6. Probably will this time as well.

Boogie seems pretty well keyed into her strengths and weaknesses. We'll see I guess.

BRING BACK HOWIE!!!!!

With Dick off the show maybe it gives one of the newbees an opportunity to show some flair for the dramatic. When Dick came back they were all star struck over the guy. I really didn't see any of em making a serious run at the guy. Hoping this gives us some more villains and heroes.

Am a little dissapointed cause I wanted to see if Dick could change his game a bit.

Also kind of weak to bring up him only winning cause of Americas player since almost every season BB does something dumb that saves a favorite. Can't hold it against them for winning when BB pretty much rigs the game lol.

It's not usually a twist that saves a guy multiple times. I think ED's season kinda has an asterisk next to it cause the best player in that house was the one America kept voting to save him.

It is also pretty easy to hold against ED given that during his season he kept uttering "Bad gameplay, man!!!" Everytime someone else got sent home. Even when it was America's vote saving him. So there really was a lot of dramatic irony and cockiness to it.

If I recall correctly I think a lot of folks at the end of the season started voting to position Eric and the person he was alligned with for the win. Dick was kind of a funky winner for the people that voted his way for that small stretch of time.

I'm trying to remember the guy who was a complete tool that went to the final three that season with the Donatos.

Good point I am sure most people think Jeff and Jordan only won their season because America gave him the Coup D'etat. You play with the card you're dealt with in my view!! Give Dick credit for being liked by America. It's not his fault America liked him and helped him out.

I do believe Eric only played a key role once in the huge vote to get out Dustin. But I can't say for certain. I know it was not 3 times he was saved by Eric.

Didn't the girl Eric was having a fling with win an HOH and was convinced by Eric not to put up Dick and Danielle?

I think the key here is that you mentioned it saved him that one week. Had he not been saved that week he would have been gone.

I'm not saying he's an idiot. I understand that he knows the game really well, but he has to change it this time to get the win.

If I recall it was more than 1 week. There was a deciding vote that Eric cast his way, a veto (if memory serves me correctly) that America intervened in that saved him, and Eric convinced an HOH to nominat someone other than Dick.

Eric for a few weeks in that season was playing to save Dick's bacon.

You guys think he'll be using the same strategy as in Season 8?

I do. I don't think he's smart enough to realize that he was carried by America's player. He'll pull the same crap and this time go home early.

Thought it was funny that he didn't realize Jordan was the other winner in the house. Jordan won a much tougher season that Dick.
