I noticed on the show they keep referencing Mark throwing pickle juice in Josh's face, but in here STAC has said it was actually hot sauce. We're there 2 different instances or have producers asked Mark/Josh to call it pickle juice in DR in order to somehow lessen the incident?

It was a mixture of pickle juice and hot sauce. The original point was to drink it. As for the implications of referring to it as pickle juice, I couldn't tell you.

Yeah, it was both. The bet was that the loser had to drink pickle juice and hot sauce. Mark tends to emphasize the "pickle juice" part while Josh and others emphasize the "hot sauce." Although, I can't imagine pickle juice in the eyes is that much less unpleasant. But it probably sounds a little better.

Another thing I enjoyed from that fight was the constant "fat rear end" stuff because Josh really, really isn't fat. And the fact that Jody are convinced he is is and that its a devastating insult strikes me as really weird.

Post fight as you might imagine everyone's over Jody and their attitudes. Kevin seems to have given up on his hopes to work with Cody and is finally on board with getting him gone. Mark seems like the one hold out as usual and the chords of "he's a hypocrite" are spinning. Everyone is ready for Cody to be gone and hope he chills out in the Jury House. There's a lot of acknowledgement that Josh is "an asshat" but that doesn't justify "getting violent."

There were some more sound effects but I'm not keeping track. I'm not playing.

Cody wants to find a way to throw himself on the sword for Jess, but obviously there is none. Cody thinks there's no chance for him to win and they're the most hated HGs (by other HGs) in BB history (maybe). Jess thinks Rachel still won despite that. Jess has her seasons confused as usual.

Raven keeps complaining that she hurt her wrist breaking up the fight. From what Alex says she broke it up and Raven just kind of threw herself into it at the end. Raven's making a big show of being hurt and going to help Alex so she wouldn't be hurt and Alex and pretty much everyone else is totally over it. Its just open house discussion of her being a desperate attention seeker and drama queen and always needing to make everything about her.

I admit I have a real crazy/hot thing going with Raven. I'm not proud of it.

Jody are fantasizing about their children and life together again. 48 hours to go.

Matt doesn't like that Josh was told he couldn't do pots and pans. He thinks that's one of Josh's "strengths in the game" and they're taking it away. Raven says they consider it provoking and they weren't happy that she was hit. Matt says "of course not!" and swallows it. I actually sort of agree with him. I'm not defending Josh but pots and pans has always been allowed in the house. Its not Josh who is different from Dick or Amanda or Rachel or someone else who was obnoxious and taunting people. Its Cody (and Jess and Mark, but I think Cody is the key who "makes it ok" to them) who constantly gets "violent"/aggressive over it. I understand why they're putting an end to it because Josh WILL listen to them while Cody won't but there does seem to be something slightly "unfair" about it. But its a tough position to take since its not like I don't think Josh is obnoxious as gently caress and in a lot of other situations I'd hate him.

Jess is studying the noises. Which I respect because you never know. Cody naturally doesn't care. Cody says that they shouldn't talk about anyone anymore for "his own sanity" because he just wants to go into rants and "then I say stuff." I think Cody got a talking to in DR. Either that or he saw Jess lose it and got some perspective. I don't think he regrets anything but for the first time in 50 days he realizes that he may look bad and cares. He's also been eating nonstop and it seems to be a new nervous tick.

Maven discussing what a magical moment it was when Christmas stood up with her Ring and saved the week. Raven says she plays it over and over in her mind. Matt says she was like an angel. Matt says it was perfect since she was the first person he screwed over. They say it would be amazing if Christmas won HOH next week. Matt apparently just realizes that Cody threw that Week 1 POV specifically to backdoor Christmas (Paul).

Christmas, Paul, and Alex complain about Raven. Christmas warns Alex that she was saying things about Raven in front of Mark and she can't do that. Alex realizes she screwed up. Alex is a little worried about Mark hanging out with Maven but Paul says even if that is a thing they have the numbers and they all say their like their group of six (the singles). Paul is in next week already and saying backdoor Cody and someone throw the Safety to assure playing in POV and one less pick for Cody to get. Josh joins. They discuss how they don't feel bad for Jess and all told her she'd be the one to suffer for playing the Hex. Paul thinks she could have salvaged her game if she hadn't thrown it away for "this rear end in a top hat" (eh, debatable). Raven joins. Paul says the thing is that Cody has to be perfect and they have more room to fail. Raven points out how Jody cook a ton of food just for themselves. Raven says Jess called Christmas a "fake bitch" during the fight. I didn't catch that but its possible. Christmas doesn't care. Everyone compliments Josh on holding up his end and "spitting out facts like a mofo" (Raven). Alex wants to steal a slice of the pizza that Jody are cooking.

Josh: They had a lot of built up anger, I'll say that. That's unhealthy.

Cody's going over and over that he doesn't want Jess to get poo poo on for being with a hothead. Either he got talked to or he's scared of Jess leaving, getting perspective, and getting over him.

Mark tells Elena that Christmas winning HOH would be his worst case. Elena says she'd go after Cody but Mark says he could win Safety. Mark doesn't realize he's going up no matter who wins (except maybe Elena, and I think Paul could maybe pull that off). Mark says "only 7 more weeks" and calls it draining. DR tells Elena not to sleep and Elena flips out. In fairness she hasn't really eaten in like 10 days. But also, Elena.

Elena: I'm going to loving lose my motherfucking mind in this place!
Mark: You and me both.

Josh says he told production that if he has to stop pots and pans then Cody needs to stop getting in his face and making threats like "after the house" and "say something, I dare you." That might be why Cody's so on edge. He probably got a serious talking to about his threats and behavior, especially if Josh did about the pots and pans. We lose the feeds while they talk about this as we keep will whenever they bring up Cody's poo poo.

Elena asks Mark if he looks at other girls' clothes and judges outfits. Mark is confused by the question but says he thinks Raven's outfit is good. Elena disagrees. Mark wonders what's wrong with it and Elena says she'll explain later. This is a really weird conversation. I think Elena's going through mean girl withdrawal away from Jess.

Elena: This has been the longest loving day in the Big Brother house for me. And there was even free entertainment. I think I had zero conversations today.
Mark: I'm bad at conversating with these people.
Elena: How much do you think I'd have to eat to get evicted this week?

JodyCam is back. Which means I'm taking a break. Less than 46 hours left.

Didn't Jess also say Alex was getting fat too? Because Alex is also very much not fat.

Also banning the pots and pans is kind of dumb considering the taunting game has been a strat for years now. If Cody can't control himself then penalize him. That's what rules are there for. This kind of coddling to protect their narrative is the kind of stuff that really tests my limits.

I mean, I think they're trying to protect the situation, production, and safety of the HGs because they clearly don't trust Cody not to hit Josh. Which I understand. But its a weird case where since the potentially violent guy has been warned repeatedly and keeps pushing the line you tell the "instigator" to stop doing what he's doing because he's more reasonable and that's the thing you can control.

I understand it and its not like I think they should kick out Cody on the possibility that he'll hit someone. But they're effectively taking away something that not only has always been in Big Brother but that they celebrated with past HGs. Which may not be a good thing that I like... but its very selective.

I don't know. I get it. I don't want anyone punched and that's more important than Josh's right to be a dick. But he should have that right.

Jason telling Kevin about Cody's "if you want to make it square with me" from waaaaaay back this morning. Jason points out the stupidity of Cody thinking he owes him something from not putting him up in Week 1. Kevin asks why and Jason says just to make it not so lopsided. Kevin calls Cody a baby and if he really wanted to do something he should just volunteer to go in her place. Jason says he was entertaining it but not after all the fight. Kevin says he's absolutely voting out Jessica so if there's any hinky votes no one better look at him. They discuss the hinky votes from early on and Kevin throws some general nonsense around and Jason jokes(?) that he thinks Alex might have just forgot who she was voting for one week. Kevin says none of that matters now. Kevin says things are starting to get to him and he's starting to stare at the girls. Jason says you'd have to be superhuman not to notice. The two old married men laugh about being creepy a little. Christmas has her legs up for some reason and they creep and laugh hysterically.

Jason: When I was in high school I got my pickup stuck uptown in a snow bank...
Kevin: I can't even imagine. You hosed the cop. Did you gently caress the cop? Or the pickup driver? The tow truck driver? Paul! We have a better one!

Kevin: Did you watch pornos when you were young?
Jason: I used to watch my brother gently caress girls through the rafters.

It turns out Jason was doing his girlfriend in the same position Christmas was in and his dad walked in but then there were fish.



There was a thing the other night that I didn't see live and didn't feel like dragging up. But there was just a nice response I'd like to post. Long story short, Cody, Jess, Jason, and Matt were discussing past seasons and someone brought up Audrey. Cody described her as "a boy dressed as a girl." Jess called that ignorant and said she was the first transgendered houseguest and Cody kept saying that's what he said and repeating it. Jason was confused and kept asking "was it a he or a she?" Jess kept calling it ignorant and Matt explained to Jason that the problem was him calling Audrey "it." Eventually they explained it to Jason as "like Bruce Jenner". It seemed like the usual divide of Jason being ignorant but not malicious while Cody was just being belligerent in his ignorance. Like I said, I never brought it up because we know these two things already. But Audrey just tweeted a nice response. She's also tweeting that she'd like to see it addressed on air to educate people.

I mean, I get what you're saying and I don't necessarily disagree, but it's a grey area. Jody have the right to be able to not hear loud annoying noises that they literally cannot get away from all day long.

I'm not saying everyone needs to be nicey nice to each other, but the pots and pans is kind of a dick move and would drive anyone nuts, and even if you were a huge dick you shouldn't be subjected to that for hours on end. That's a form of torture.

It absolutely is a dick move and I totally agree with you.

But its a dick move that they not only have allowed but have celebrated in the past. And its not just Evel Dick. No one stopped Amanda when she was harassing Elissa for hours. No one stepped in when Tiffany was being driven half insane last season. I wasn't watching before BB15 but there's been plenty of obnoxious assholes who seem to have been allowed their right to be obnoxious assholes. Ronnie got tortured. Howie tortured April. BB9 had people tell Amanda they were glad her father killed herself. Some of them like Dick, Rachel, and Janelle became fan favorites for it.

The difference here is that production is scared Cody is going to snap. And that makes Cody the difference, not Josh. So on some level it bothers me that Josh is the one who is "handcuffed" and not Cody.

Even though another part of me absolutely acknowledges that I'm defending the right for someone to be an rear end in a top hat and torture people and that's not something I'm super comfortable with. You're definitely right that its a grey area so I'm not really complaining. I'm just sort of voicing my confused feelings on it.

They absolutely do not have that "right". SHOULD they be afforded that? Probably, but I'm not shedding any tears. But honestly, this entire game is a gigantic form of torture. Josh banging on pots and pans for an hour once or twice a week is absolutely not some arbitrary line that we've suddenly decided is a bridge too far. And it is absolutely better BY FAR than some of the verbal assaults that have been uttered both this season and in seasons past.

Big Brother is a game that's 90% psychological, so telling people they can't attack a weakness isn't fair. Is calling Josh fat, stupid, ignorant, sexual predator any less harmful than pots and pans? I'd say the insults are more harmful, in my worthless internet opinion. If Jody can't handle the mental pressure then they shouldn't be in the game. And they wouldn't be if not for various temptations, battle backs, etc.

I was impressed that despite the argument escalating Josh kept it very much about the game until it disintegrated into the "you're stupid. No you." portion.

Jody attacked his weight, intelligence, ethnicity (enunciate!), and threatened him outside the house. Compare that to being obnoxious and telling someone they've screwed up their gameplay doesn't seem to be anywhere near the amount of equal.

And Big Brother has always let this kind of stuff go on, both the obnoxiousness and brutal personal attacks. This smells more of "we already did our battle back, we can't afford to lose 2 more houseguests in one week".

We can go back and forth on the pots and pans thing all day, but everyone knows if Cody could control himself, they'd still be letting Josh do it and that, to me, isn't right. Cody's temper is on Cody, not Josh, and if he can't control it, that's his problem.

If they pots and pans thing was universally disallowed, that's one thing. But as STAC said, they've always allowed it and the difference in this case is that Cody is a psycho, so they're making Josh stop, which is total bullshit.

Even better, he believes basically every alt-right piece of ideology, including thinking pretty much everyone is a loser. The hilarious thing is that Josh is apparently actually more successful and educated than Cody in the real world, where Cody's only accomplishment so far is that he was in the military, because to hear him tell it, he is broke with no successful relationships, friends or otherwise.

It isn't just on Cody if he snaps, it is also on CBS. Legal Waivers only go so far, and if they knowingly allowed a situation where it was not only foreseeable, but almost a certainty that one of their house-guests snapped and assaulted another, there would be legal repercussions that CBS has no interest in dealing with.

Yeah, I get it from the legal sense. You basically have 3 choices if you're CBS.

(1) Let it keep going and risk Cody snapping and you having to explain why you let it get that far when he had so many other instances to warn them.
(2) Pull Cody even though he hasn't technically broke any rules yet because you're afraid of what he might do.
(3) Tell Josh to stop provoking him.

Option 3 definitely isn't the fairest but its definitely the path of least resistance and lowest chance of legal and production problems.

The funny thing is I'm usually a big believer in "this isn't just a game." Players who don't recognize that these people are your whole world for the summer and that the relationships you form are real tend to make messes and suffer like Paul did with the Jury last season. You have to keep the perspective that just because its a game doesn't mean it might not hurt people or upset them. And on the flip side you have to keep the perspective that just because someone likes you doesn't mean they think you're good for their game.

Cody and Jess lost that perspective way back in Week 1 when they couldn't understand why the Cool Kids were unwilling to vote out their friend and ally Christmas and keep Jillian because Jess and Cody wanted them to. Everything broke in Jody's minds at that point and they've never been able to regain that perspective (if they ever had it). Everything since then has been a personal attack against them in their minds and "game moves" just don't exist to them.

Well, remember, it was just Cody who did that. He lied to Jess too.

And Jess was angry and agreed with everyone that Cody had betrayed their trust and screwed over Christmas and Paul.

But then she decided to "stand by her man" and suddenly decided everyone was betraying her by not voting out Christmas and keeping Jillian. Because she's crazy self absorbed.

But my favorite part is still how Jody sincerely believe that if Paul just didn't have the Pendant of Power then everything would have been ok and somehow Matt, Raven, Mark, Elena, Christmas, Josh, and Kevin would have voted him out. And the Jody fans online who wholeheartedly believe that too.

Paul: The new Candy Crush game [on CBS] seems tight. I hope they ask me to play it.
I don't know why Paul does these things. I mean, I do. Its just dumb.

Jess is in a bad mood again today and doesn't want to speak to anyone but Cody today. Same poo poo, different day. Just over 24 hours to go.

There's been more noises so definitely probably a HOH comp. Before/After maybe.

Christmas and Raven find a carton of eggs hidden in the fridge and are very excited. I think Cody hid them earlier in the week but not sure.

Josh suggests they should have kept Dom over Jess. This seems inarguable given the Hex and BattleBack but Paul dismisses it as stupid and says Dom would have just teamed up with Cody anyway (but you would have got one of them out last week, Paul). Alex reveals that Dom spoke in tongues and blows everyone's minds. Then she reveals that Elena says she does it too.



More discussion of Mark being a hypocrite about the bullying stuff last week and then defending Jody yesterday. Pointing out Mark's transparent lies that he only heard the personal attacks Josh said but none of the ones Jody said. Paul sharing Mark's rationalization that he doesn't care because of Josh's taunting/"bullying" of him. Lots of talk about how Josh is a "child and a clown" but he's "sweet and sensitive" and it got to him. They talk about hate they might get after the show and online abuse and who will be affected by it. They think Josh and Mark will and Jason might get confused.

Raven tells Josh she intends to thank Jessica for "sticking her finger up people's buttholes" on Thursday. That will be weird. Josh mad that Mark apparently stole the towels from HOH. I no longer know if Mark really is playing this badly or if he's just become the easy scapegoat.

Cody remarks that his soda has aspartame in it. Jess asks what that is and he doesn't know, but "people" say its bad so he drinks as much as he can. They were briefly around people in the kitchen but then retreated in disgust to the ASPR.

Mark and Elena are still sleeping, as they always are, and everyone's annoyed at the constant BB announcements for them to wake up.

A very annoying trumpet/scraping furniture noise that sucks on headphones. Jason argues that it was a "woodwind" and Kevin demands they just call it a "horn." Jason thinks its a clarinet. This is a big debate because Paul needs to know what to add to his song. Sax? Violin? They briefly settle on "Jax" for "Jaxaphone" (a house joke for what Josh calls the pots and pans). Paul rejects that because its not lyrically pleasing and goes back to "horn."

"Baby Dog Jack Drum, Motor Alarm Chug Horn"
He's been singing this nonstop under his breath so now I know it.

Jody lament that they'll spend as much time apart as they did together. Cody says their relationship is experiencing every test that it could. Really? Cody says "love doesn't just go away." Death to JodyCam. Jess says they've faced 12 people trying to break them up so they'll never be in this situation again and they've learned they can't break them up. Cody brings up how she always "defaulted" to he was wrong and he had to prove her he wasn't. Jess tries to brush it off as she's the girl so of course she's always right. Cody keeps pushing and bringing up her asking if her mom would hate him. Jess gets frustrated and says he admitted to saying things that would upset her. The feeds flip away. Maybe Jess' mom pulled her release? Or they just got tired of JodyCam too? But that seems like a stretch considering its been a constant feed for 50 days.

Josh complains about Matt and Raven leaving the HOH bathroom a mess. They've basically moved into HOH all week and Josh's nerves are pretty thin about it.

Cody explaining to Jess why women shouldn't serve in the military because "dudes need to have the right mindset" and "people can bash them that they should have control" but that's too hard for Cody. Also their wives will "nag" at them because there are women around. Cody calls it all a "political experiment." He also says there's a "cleanliness standard" and they'll all get yeast infections. Cody says its silly when people reduce it to "physical strength" when really, its about that women are dirty and men having no control of their sex drives. Jess says maybe she wants to be a Marine. Cody says she can join the Army. These two have no chance. Cody talks about a "god of the Marine Corps" commandant (whose name he doesn't remember) who said that if they allow women in the infantry he'll do whatever no enemy has done and destroy the marines. Jess says he's saying women are just so strong they'd destroy men. Cody says there could never be integration and they'd need a separate women's unit. Also Cody doesn't want any pesky allegations of abuse getting in the way of stuff.

Cody: Its hard to have this argument because people say I'm just a guy.
Jess: That's the first time you've presented an argument that sounds vaguely logical. Usually its just "dinosaurs never existed."
Cody: I never said that. I just never said anyone proved they have.

Cody's song is "Baby Dog Jack Car, Lawn Alarm Chug Horn." The song is way too similar and they must have heard Paul singing it but he thinks the drum was a car. But he knows the "motor" was a lawn mower.

Mark, Jess, and Cody are 3, 4, and 6 respectively on Jokers. Although they're all under water with their numbers. Kevin and Jason are the only two with positive ratings.

But yeah, the general feedbase is still stanning Jody and think Mark was totally right to say that it was ok for them to bully the bully Josh after it was unfair for Josh and others to bully the bullies last week. That's not going to end until Paul or Jody are gone.

Cody should have been removed from the game. I have no doubt that a lawyer, psychologist, and CBS representative have all reviewed film of him in a room together.

I'm still kind of reserving judgment until we see what happened yesterday. And that won't happen until Thursday. He he charged Josh into the house and they were even talking about him possibly breaking the sliding door so did he like wrestle it open? It could be fairly tame or it could be really bad. I don't know because they went out of their way to hide it when everyone was talking about it yesterday. Which gives it a very mysterious and ominous presence.

Cody and most of his views belong in a museum!

If Cody got angry enough to damage a part of the house, then loving lol that he didn't get ejected. I'm going to assume that he didn't physically do anything but get in Josh's face because one person was ejected for throwing a lawn chair that wasn't even really aimed at anyone while he was flipping out, and Chima was ejected for destroying her mic transmitter after refusing to go to DR. I could be remembering those wrong though. Maybe the lawn chair didn't result in an ejection?

From the way Alex described it she had to physically separate the two of them but they weren't touching each other. She compared it to the Josh/Mark thing.

But people have talked about him possibly breaking the door. And Cody chasing Josh inside the house. So from the sounds of it its possible that Josh tried to close the door on Cody, Cody tried to wrestle it open, Josh went running or backing away and Cody came at him? Which if that's true it paints a really ugly picture.

But that's all speculation based on little puzzle pieces and it could be entirely wrong. So I'm waiting to see. But it was bad enough that Kevin completely turned on Jody, Jody seemed shell shocked, Josh was told not to provoke anymore, and they tried really hard to not let us hear any talk of what happened. So that sounds bad.

This will definitely be the test of whether BB is giving Jody a cozy edit or not.

On BBCan Dallas destroyed a competition because he lost and was angry

He didn't even need any Olands or rum to do it, like most Nova Scotians would have

No matter what happens they will not likely show the whole event. Even during big blow ups in the past, they have always very heavily edited them. The sad fact is, even 10 seconds of cut footage can make a huge difference in how an event is perceived. There's a reason why editing is focused on in even the most basic film courses. Editing tells the story. With them having completely blocked out this event, there is going to be no way for us to know what really happened now other than seeing if what they show meshes with the fall out that we've seen, and even then we can only speculate.

Them cutting away from these things on the feeds and censoring even the discussion of them is pretty scummy and also does not bode well for the truthfulness of the narrative they will put out there.

Think Jessica gets boo'd tomorrow? If so, will Cody take it as booing that she was evicted?

Nobody move and nobody gets hurt.

They've barely gotten any kind of villain edit, there's no way she gets booed.

We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.



You'd have to shave your beard into a hitler moustache these days to get boo'd in this America. I'm not even sure Aaryn would get boo'd right now.
