Jag won the invisible HOH, nominated Felicia and Blue.

There was a double veto, Jag and Blue both won, so now the plan is Blue will self veto, Jag will veto Felicia then nominate Cory and America. Jag only told Bowie, Matt, and Cirie that he won HOH, so naturally the whole house knows. Cory is toast pending any twists.

Jag basically told everyone except Bowie Jane (she never gets any respect) that he won the HOH so the twist was DOA.

America was pissed after the veto, apparently there was an argument that was withheld from the feeds.

Also Jag seems to think he can compete in the next HOH. If so, that basically means the season is over and Matt and Jag can coast to the end. Really stupid way for a too-long season to wind down.

First Hisam was winning every single comp. Then he got evicted.
Then Jared and Cameron were alternating winning every single comp and both got evicted.
Then Cameron came back and won them all until he got evicted again.
Now Jag is winning every single one.

Like no matter how many people they vote out there keeps being one person that rises to the top to dominate them all.

The entire house should see it written plain as day that Jag and Matt are going to comp out and everyone must unite against them. Bowie probably isn't game for that which just makes it harder. If the other players do that they can probably at some point win a single HOH and get one of them out, but Jag being double eligible isn't helping matters. Stupid game format the way comps can get dominated and matter so much. Might as well just watch the challenge or american ninja warrior

With that being said perhaps they need to keep whoever is better at comps between Corey and America.

The whole thing is dumb. The whole point of being the secret HOH is to put up allies, so Jag told everyone and then put up his allies anyway.

But it didn't really matter because everyone in the house (aside from the 2 people on the block) were totally fine with it.

BB's twists almost always fall flat. How much interesting stuff did we get from the Cirie/Jared stuff? Next to nothing.

Also if they wanted to do the secret HOH thing they should do it near the beginning when alliances are ill-defined and there's a ton of people, not when there's 8 people left and everyone pretty much knows where everyone else stands.

Cory has given us a long, heartfelt camera chat (Wednesday 10/18 1:27pm, Camera 3) basically post-mortem-ing his game. The talk is over 25 minutes, and some of the better content we've had on the feeds in weeks.

Among lots of other interesting things, he knows there's 5 votes out there, and a majority of them are just "unattainable". He said over the last couple of weeks it might seem like he'd "chilled out" but that he was out of gas and doesn't have the competition strength others do.

He likes everyone in the house "except Cam, for obvious reasons. Fun dude to talk to, though. Wish he was less of a jackass."

I think that's a consequence of 2 things that, amazingly, aren't really production's fault:
1. Cirie was over this whole experience before Day 50, she hates it in there
2. Jared absolutely played like poo poo despite having an unheard-of advantage and was more of a handicap to Cirie than a benefit

The family advantage was so very wasted on those two. This season ended up a victim of twist failure-to-launch and personally I'm happy with that! It meant there wasn't much to mess with the gameplay and the players' mistakes were mostly their own. Is that fair?

invisible hoh should get to fake compete in the HOH, shouldn't allowed to actually win lol. As if Jag wasn't winning enough comps already.

Anything physical, there's no one in the house that can stack up with Matt and Jag... have to say the most likely person to take either of them out before f3 is Matt striking a bit early on Jag after all these wins. but they get a chance at veto too! Dumb game

Agreed, but I think Matt also knows he's a lock to win if he sits in the final 2 with Jag, especially now. He'd probably win 6-1 with Blue dissenting

America and Blue nom'd. They HAVE to get Jag out next this week for DE. It's probably their last chance It's doable since Matt really isn't that big of a comp threat, but then again no one left really is either.

i feel like even the bare minimum of "if you reveal you are the secret HOH you lose the ability to play in the next HOH comp" should have been common sense to include

Unpopular opinion maybe, but I’m glad they didn’t do some artificial “you’re not allowed to reveal” thing. I know they’ve done stuff like that before, but the enforcement would be so subjective that as a player, I wouldn’t know how to handle it if someone started pressing me on it or something. And imposing external rules on discussion topics (I know they can’t discuss production/DRs) feels counter to a game about conversation and information.

The better solution would be to not bother pretending the HoH was invisible, because we all knew this would happen from the second it was announced.

Yeah they’ve done the invisible HOH twist twice in BBCAN and both times they tried to get fancy with it and then the house turned on them the next week.

The twist sucks but Jag played it right - unfortunately it made this endgame into a boring slog that I’m having trouble staying motivated to care about.

Cameron might because he was vocally desperate for another few minutes of fame, as well as the jury stipend. I gathered from half-watching three episodes of The Challenge USA 2 that you can last there while being a Creepy Social Mutant if you're enough of a comp beast

Jag wouldn't make it halfway

Anyway Jag didn't use the veto so Blue's probably done. She lasted longer than most of the other recruits. Whatever, he's gonna get targeted during the double but will probably win veto again, blah blah blah

I watch with my family and two people at once said "Bowie is dead to me" :laugh:

I don't think it's gone to garbage, I think the challenges have been garbage from the start and it has slowly dragged down an otherwise pretty rad group of snidely players. They've been in there like three months, they're great at giving diaries now but probably fed up.

Bowie not putting up Jag or Matt will go down as one of the all time stupidest moves in BB history. I kept playing it over in my head and not putting them up was dumb in like 4 or 5 major game breaking ways.

Looks like Felicia and Cierie will be going up later today.

So many people in the house are just knowingly, intentionally playing for 3rd and 4th place

And the people who are playing for 1st can't win comps so they never have the power to do anything
