"How has your life changed-- I'm gonna say for the better..."

To me, having agency & setting yourself up for success is what matters. The easiest way is by exercising the power that comps give- nominate people in your way, create bonds with people you keep safe, &generally earn respect. Ashley took the harder route and deserves all the more kudos for it.

I'm not a gambler but I would bet serious money that he voted for Ashley but was trying to help keep some suspense

Big brother is a super interesting game and the fact that we see them interact and strategize without much interference from editors coloring a narrative is really cool. But the TV product... it's a little cringe. I watch it- but the best way to consume BB is through sky & Taran's podcasts on RHAP.

"I am sat"

I think he'll probably want to disappear into obscurity and be forgotten after the hate he's gonna feel from the fans. He was fun this season cause he got a foothold and there were people who fell for his shtick & trusted him enough to feel betrayed. Nobody would ever trust him in a future game

I wonder if itd mess with the audio-i don't need more reasons to not hear their whispers. But production could at least let them occasionally put laundry in the storage room and have it returned if there's say a sweatshirt covered in mold water

Oh of course! There's no way he should win if we're judging by a player's merit. But with a season this messy and lacking in strategy, he isn't the winner I'd ever vote for, but he might be the winner they deserve. Especially if he wins his way through this round with a stupid twist.

I would bet a good amount.

And Kelley says "Worms for dinner??? Yum!!"

But... Is there anyone who represents the season more? He takes the cake on delusion; relied on comps even more than the rest; and in a house full of people who couldn't decide if they want to work with Rachel or evict her, he would change his mind hourly to the furthest extremes

It was a horrible twist no matter who left. Even people I can't stand need to be *evicted* for me to feel satisfied. I need the social fallout of choices and conflicting interests of allies. But Rachel being the one booted adds so much insult to injury.

I think if rylie wins the blockbuster, Mickey leaves unan so that means they "stay together" I guess. No way Vince evicts Rylie over Mickey. If Mickey wins, it's possible he keeps Morgan over Riley... But BB is rarely that good to us

But you forgot the 2 minutes she'll take between each word

But it would be even nicer if BB just told him he wasn't allowed to talk anymore period

She does keep circling around with little jabs like "I thought I *had* someone here I could rely on... but then he went home"

I legitimately think Mickey actually believes what she's saying. That she does really wanna work with Rachel again. But I think Mickey will change her mind in 20 mins. And Rachel is still SUPER hesitant.

She's very much questioning everything. They've hugged and cried together and spilled a lot of the reasons for their distrust. Rachel still has reservations but she said she thought she knew what she was gonna do and she doesn't anymore. And she's asked if they can start over for real
