Love ya. We were off last
week, so yay! Happy Labor Day!
We're glad to be back. I'm Ronnie
Karam from Trash Talk TV, and
I'm joined by Ben Mandelker
from b-sideblog.com. Hello, Ben.
Hello, Ronnie. L'shna Tova,
all my Jewish friends.
Yeah, hell yeah, Judy.
Hello, Judy Jew.
And also, let's please welcome Matt Whitfield from Yahoo.
Hello, Matthew.
Hey, guys.
Happy New Year, Jews.
I just look like one, but I'm not really one.
Yes, and he acts like one, too, but I am the real thing.
This is only staying on my face for some reason, so sorry.
I don't know what that's about.
Well, you have a beautiful face, Ronnie, so that's...
I'm perfectly happy to look at your lovely
face and your lovely yellow shirt.
Please, just stop.
Let's give a shout-out
to all our friends at Joker's Updates
who are supporting
this podcast. Thank you all for coming
over and checking out our little show
here about Big Brother. Gosh,
we have so much to talk about, don't we, guys?
I am so pissed right
now, and I tweeted, by the
way, you can find me on Twitter at LifeOnTheMList.
I just tweeted, like, you know, 30 minutes
ago, I am done
with Big Brother 15 after tonight's
double eviction. I am
done. There is no more point in watching
this piece of shit.
Well, how can you be done with it?
We've still got a show to do.
Oh, well, I mean, I'll still watch it for this,
but I'll be hating it constantly.
Totally mentally checked out.
I'm not done with it,
but there's nothing like losing the hero and the villain
in one fell swoop to sort of alter the fabric of a game.
Right, I mean, have you ever heard...
I mean, people get killed off on TV shows all the time and in movies,
but have you ever heard of a TV show
killing off the villain and the hero in the same episode
and then having a show be able to exist without them?
Because that doesn't happen for a reason.
You know, I was commending this season, actually,
in my brain earlier this week,
because I was saying what's been so great about it
is that we have not a lot of players
left, but the intensity
seems to be getting...
seems to be raising. And a lot of times with Big Brother,
it has its peak in the middle of the season,
and then it kind of just, like, falls apart
for the last four weeks.
But we had...
Tonight was a great climax for our 500th
episode, which is what tonight's episode was.
It's a double eviction.
It's the 500th Big Brother episode.
It was very climactic.
We saw the downfall of Amanda.
But unfortunately, we saw the downfall of Alyssa.
And now what we're left with is a household full of floaters.
This season has felt like there have been 500 episodes,
not the entire franchise history.
I am done.
I like that they have a bigger cast,
and I, in theory, like that they have a longer season,
but when you fill the house with this many idiots,
and unfortunately when the final five are all floating morons,
then what the hell is the point?
Well, it's such a rollercoaster ride,
because this is the first season that I haven't been doing written recaps.
I've just been doing video recaps.
So I have actually been not watching the feeds,
but I've been reading a lot of the live feeds this year,
which I usually stay away from.
And it has been so fun, and I can see how people get obsessed,
because I'll lay there in bed all night long
and read about all these fights they're having
and then all the hundreds of comments of people doing it.
And so this week has been so up and down because we saw a lot of
really great fighting. We saw Gina Marie
telling off Amanda on the feeds, which
Walt talked about. Did you guys
watch that or read about it?
I haven't had a chance to really watch it. I read about
it, though. But I think that
CBS did themselves a
disservice by making this a one
hour episode. This is their 500th episode.
They could have made this a two-hour episode
because there was so much stuff.
Two hours, Ben.
There's three hours in primetime.
Make it three full hours.
Three hours.
Yeah, because you know what?
There was so much stuff that happened,
you know, over the course of the week,
so much fighting and so many, like,
you know, attitudes changing
and things happening
that we could have easily stretched this out for two to three
hours tonight, and it would have been totally
fine because it's the 500th episode. Why not?
Look, Ronnie just mentioned this, and you guys,
if you haven't watched the videos from the live
feed of Gina Marie and
Amanda fighting this past week, it is
epic in nature.
It is delicious, and
Ronnie posted both
of the videos in a blog
on his website, Trash Talk TV
and it also is posted
on our Facebook page,
facebook.com forward slash watch what crap
happens and you guys have to check out this blog
and you have to watch the videos. It's about
20 plus minutes worth of content
and it is
so amazing and the fact that I'm
rooting for Gina Marie in this is just so wrong on so many levels.
But she really sticks it to Amanda despite the fact that she is, you know, a brainless moron.
Yeah.
It's odd how I feel like Gina Marie is strangely enough becoming sort of the new hero in my brain.
You know?
Because she's an idiot.
She has moments of extreme racism
and now anti-Semitism.
And, I mean,
she's also like a psychopath and
obsessed with this guy that she barely knows.
And yet, for some reason, there's something oddly winning
about her. There's something sort of...
She's so stupid that
you can't help but like the idiot, you know?
She's like a big old golden retriever.
Well, the fight was so good.
I mean, basically, everyone has had so many reasons to fight with Amanda
and tell her to shut the fuck up this whole year,
and no one's really done it.
And really all Amanda did was smirk at Gina Marie,
like give her some smirk, and Gina Marie's like, hey, use!
And then it just goes downhill.
She's like, what is your vagina, 30 pounds?
Your vagina's as big as your mouth, you hoe.
Yeah, why don't you drop your pants?
Like you have been this whole season, you hooker.
Yeah, I bet your mom's proud of you,
showing your titties all over the internet.
I was like, yeah!
I was screaming up in here.
It was really good.
It was good.
It's like on par with some of our best fights from season 10 and season 8 and season 6.
And then this was the week of just watching Amanda cry, which was also just beautiful.
Amanda, who's so mean and horrible to everybody, just all of a sudden being like,
Why is everybody so mean to me?
I don't understand it.
The other great thing is she also finally came to the realization that people outside of the house, meaning us dedicated viewers,
probably all hate her too, and that is the icing on the cake.
To not just realize that the people in the house all hate you,
but to realize that the 7 million viewers hate you too.
That's great.
Yeah, and by the way, for all you conspiracy theorists
that said that the game was fixed for Mana to win,
obviously you're all wrong.
I don't know how wrong they were, because
they really tried. I mean, one of the
big things also that happened on the live feed this
week was, you know, that we
saw the scene, they aired the scene where Amanda
was pitching that deal to Alyssa to keep her.
Well, Amanda went right
outside and told everybody that
not Amanda, Alyssa went right outside
and told everybody and was laughing that
Amanda's so stupid that she would think Alyssa would actually do that.
Then Alyssa gets called into the DR,
and she comes out suddenly willing to work with Amanda
and thinking this is a great idea.
So everybody on the feeds and in the comments and stuff are saying,
well, see, they're obviously trying to rig it,
because now Alyssa's suddenly going to work with her,
and she thinks she's an idiot.
But then production ended up screwing her over too. So maybe they tried to rig it,
they just didn't do a very good job.
You know, if they did try to rig it, I don't think they tried to rig it because Amanda
has some sort of pre-existing relationship with Alison Grodner. I think that they probably
tried to rig it because they know that she's such a great villain that we kind of want
her there as close to the end as possible to keep that interest going
because I mean she is a great villain
and she only got like worse and worse
slash greater and greater as
the past few weeks have gone along. In fact the past
two weeks, because we didn't do a show last week
the past two weeks have seen the decline
of the Amanda Empire and it
has been a phenomenal
two week span watching
everything crumble below her. I mean,
why don't we back up to the beginning
of this week, to Sunday's episode,
which was primarily dedicated
to setting up Amanda
for her big nomination,
Blindside. What did you guys think about that episode?
I'm ready to go there, but I just have to say one quick thing
based on the two points you said. I agree with both of the
points that you made, but I also just have to
say, don't you guys think that
we're 15 seasons in? I understand
that the
workers on these shows and the
producers and the editors, a lot of them rotate
out because a lot of them are contract workers, and
some of them we know, and the majority
of them are amazing, but don't you think
the higher-ups on this show, like Alison
Grodner, would realize
15 seasons in, not
to have so many fuck-ups.
I mean, my God, it's like, was Helen
pushed off that thing? Did they clearly
tell Alyssa that she now needs to work with
Amanda? It's like, they're not giving us
loyal viewers enough credit, and
that's what really pisses me off at the end of the day.
You can go ahead and, you know,
screw this game up, and, you know, you
can have racist people, you know, wall this game up and, you know, you can have racist people, you know, wall to wall,
but when you don't give us viewers enough credit
to see the clear manipulations that are going on behind the scenes,
it really, really upsets me.
Soapbox, I'm done. I'm done with my soapbox.
But you know, I think there's some people who live for that.
I think they love waiting to find the conspiracy.
There are probably people up there right now
saying that, you know, there was only one bone in Alyssa's pile of hay tonight, or saying
that they probably intentionally, like, made the maze impossible for Spencer tonight. Like,
people love conspiracy theories, and this show gives you the most. And the funny thing
is, this is really one of the most transparent reality shows on TV I mean there is a certain amount of manipulation that happens in the diary
room
but we see the majority of the things that go on in this house
and you think people would actually be happy about that but it actually just
makes the viewers more angry
well a lot goes on in those diary room sessions that we don't see
because
another thing that was happening on the live feed and and you see, this is why it's dangerous
to watch the live feeds. Look how sick I am. Look.
Look, circles. And I know everything
that's happening. So I'm staying up all night.
I went on today and I was like, hey, how
come nothing's updated? What the hell?
I was having a fit. But one of the things that was
going on was Judd has been calling,
has been screaming at
production through the cameras and
stuff and calling some girl
on the production staff an effing bitch
because they're obviously
trying to rig it and bringing Alyssa in and all
this stuff, and they're trying to force him to say certain
things, and Andy's saying, well, I wouldn't say that,
and they wanted me to say this, and I wouldn't say it,
and then they keep cutting to fish.
So it's really funny now, kind of watching
everybody rebelling, or starting
to rebel, because Judd looks at it like production got him kicked off,
which you can also say production brought your ass back on too.
Production totally brought his ass back on
because they pushed Helen off of that little block or told her to jump off,
and then Candace jumped right off too.
So Judd better watch himself because his ass is still in there and competing
and actually has a really good
shot at winning 500 grand because
of the stupidity of the production team.
You know, I actually am getting a little
over Judd. I kind of am starting to
feel like he's a little bit of a belligerent asshole.
I don't know. Just a little
bit I'm getting that feeling. I'm not totally over him
but I'm heading in that direction.
Well, they're not showing us that. They're not showing us
that on the TV show
and that's what makes us all so lopsided
because on the live feeds,
he's calling Alyssa a C word constantly
and he's horrible apparently on the live feeds
but we don't see that.
So it's really hard blending the people
that you're seeing on TV
and then the people I'm reading about on the live feeds
into consistent composites of people. I don't know what the hell I'm reading about on the live feeds into consistent composites of people.
I don't know what the hell I'm doing anymore. I'm turning crazy.
You guys, I really don't want anybody to take
this the wrong way, but this
really, and I don't agree
with anything that Erin really did
and everything that she pretty
much said and everything that came out of her mouth was
pretty awful and she's
disgusting on various levels,
but it really bugs me that she
truly did get the worst edit
out of everybody. I mean, yes, they started to give it to
Amanda in more of like a joking way,
but the guys on this show
have also been disgusting.
A lot of them have been misogynistic.
A few of them have also been
homophobic, and we really never truly
did see on the
CBS broadcast, which which again we have
to realize so many more people are
watching those than the live feeds. The live feeds are for the
diehards but the masses of America are
seeing the CBS show and they did not
properly see the
truth behind Gina Marie's
disgustingness, the truth behind
Spencer's disgustingness and now
the truth behind Judd's disgustingness
and it just bothers me that Aaron is having to take the brunt of all of this
when, yes, she deserves a lot of it, but these other people are assholes too.
And the fact that it seems at this point that CBS is pushing Judd to win
because, oh, he's like one of those swamp people.
He's like one of those hillbilly rednecks that are so popular on that Duck Dynasty show.
So let's hope that he wins so that we can bring him back
for a future All-Star
season, and it's totally effed up, and all of us
can see completely, it's totally
transparent. Listen, at this
point, though, I have to say the only one
who I really don't want to win
is Andy. I have grown
to really dislike Andy. Excuse me, is
somebody going to give me some credit?
Yes, Matthew, you are the best hateful predictor of all time.
You hated his ass right in the beginning.
We were like, that's not fair, and sure enough, there you are.
And you know what, another thing that stupid Reagan,
shut up, Reagan.
You know, if anybody out there knows Reagan,
tell him to shut up for me.
I'm sick of Reagan going on Twitter, sticking up for him.
He wrote this big thesis piece on how gays are
blah, blah, blah.
Gays get the bad edit and blah,
blah, blah on reality TV, and he's sticking up
for Andy. You know what? You don't have to stick
up for him just because he's gay, alright?
How about you just stop? How about you put down the
pride flag for a second and just start looking at this
as a game with people, and let's
stop separating ourselves just because we're homos,
alright? Right, and he also
contradicted himself multiple times
in that piece, too, and it really just drove me
nuts, and, oh, Ben thinks he's amazing,
but Reagan sucks, and Andy
sucks, and let's just all agree
Andy is a floater, he's a sniveling
crybaby, and if he wins
the 500 grand, I'm so done.
Here's the thing. I actually don't
think Andy is getting a bad edit. I think he's getting
a relatively normal and perhaps
even slightly favorable edit. He's getting a great
edit. Andy's getting a really good edit.
He's probably mean behind
on the live feeds. Yeah.
And so, but the thing is...
And he's a bitch. But
what I feel like the reason why I've
come to hate him, which is probably the same reason for
everyone else,
is that he's more than just a floater.
He's like a tattletale.
And people keep telling him things,
and he goes and tells everyone,
and he fucks up everyone else's game.
Technically, this is good for him.
I mean, he's actually playing a good game,
but it doesn't mean I have to like it.
I mean, I find him to be so frustrating,
and he's not.
We've said this every single week. he's not tattling in this
fun Dr. Will
or Janelle Machiavellian
way, he's more just like
oh my god
oh my god
like they can't
know this, this is terrible for my
game, you know
I feel like
it's the same thing that was with Amanda,
which is that she didn't really own her bullying,
you know, she would bully, and then she would cry,
and then, why don't people like me?
And I feel like Andy is,
you know, he votes people out, then he cries,
and there's something I find very despicable about him.
Well, and the other thing is, it's like Zingbot
came in and regulated Andy
more so than anybody else by calling him a
floater to his face in front of his fellow
contestants, or fellow house guests,
and it's like, well, he really
didn't do anything. He didn't step up his
game since then. He just continued to be
a bitchy little floater, and
you know, I wanted to root for him.
Look, I don't want to be one of those people who's always
rooting against the gay dudes
on these shows, but the gay dudes they always cast on these shows
suck, and this one especially,
he aligned himself with Amanda
when she started getting incredibly awful,
and he became her minion,
even more so than McCray in a way,
which was horribly disgusting,
and then when he wasn't attached to Amanda
at the beginning of the game,
he was floating.
After Amanda, he's going to float,
and we also have to say that this exterminator crew,
I'm sorry, but this is up there with one of the
lamest alliances in Big Brother history.
I'm even going to say this, the Meow Meow
would find this lame.
Oh, God, no, no. You can never win
with me if you bring Enzo into it.
You'll always lose in my eyes. I hate the brigade.
No, I think actually
the exterminators, believe it or not, I think they're actually
a good alliance because they formed at the right time.
They did the right thing. I just hate them. I actually a good alliance because they formed at the right time. They did the right
thing. I just hate them.
I just hate them, but they formed at the right time.
I will 100% give you that.
They did the thing that I always say every single year,
which is, why don't these floaters ever realize
that if they join together, they can
oust the people in power? And finally,
someone's actually done it. Unfortunately, they also
ousted the person that we like the most,
who is Alyssa, and so now I have to hate them.
Right. And then if you look at it for three weeks in a row, you lose Aaron, Amanda, and
Alyssa. And as disgusting as two of those three people are, they made the show worth
watching. I mean, Gina Marie is still a crackhead who's going to go off and, you know, she'll
probably still give us a few bomb mots for the rest of the season, but at this
point to have those three mega players
go out week after week after
week is just so gut-wrenching.
I know. Really the only
floater is Spencer because Spencer hasn't won
anything and he hasn't really done...
Excuse me. He's not the only floater there. The only
person that's really left in this
game that is worthy of the
win is Gina Marie, which disgusts me to say this, that is worthy of the win is Gina Marie,
which disgusts me to say this, but the truth of the matter is Spencer can't win shit.
Andy can't win shit.
Judd did win the POV this week, but he also was given a key back into the house.
And I don't think that anybody that's evicted initially that comes back in ever deserves to win.
I think they should only ever be allowed to play for second place.
that comes back in ever deserves to win.
I think they should only ever be allowed to play for second place.
So you can't tell me that anybody besides Gina Marie or McCray is worthy of the $500,000.
Well, you could actually still make a case for Judd,
and you could actually make a case for Andy,
because Andy won HOH, unfortunately.
Andy didn't really win HOH.
That thing he won was a piece of crap.
It doesn't matter, because I'm just saying, you know,
the point is this, they do,
we do keep on calling them floaters,
but the truth is that they've all actually done
significant things, except for maybe Spencer.
But the thing is, their personality
is like, they're like floater personalities,
which is why it feels like it's a bunch of floaters,
but they've actually done something extremely
strategic in forming an alliance and getting rid of
all the power players and taking over the game.
So they really aren't... Of the people that are
left, if you were on the jury
and you had an option
of the people remaining in the house, I mean,
for me, again, the only options
truly would be Gina Marie
and McCray because they have
done a hell of a lot more.
They've put their necks on the line a hell of a lot
more, and I would want to reward that over somebody.
Yes, maybe Andy did play a decent game
because he aligned himself with a bitch like Amanda.
Oh, my God.
All McCray did was put his wiener in a bulldog.
All right, if you want to give the win to somebody
who stands behind a fucking lesbian,
just give it to any old umpire on the street.
Like, why even bother playing the game?
And this is why we've missed you, Ronnie.
Yes. Matt and I are way too polite.
No, that's some bullshit.
That guy has done nothing except sit there
and look like Chloe Sevigny in that movie
Kids when she had AIDS and was dying in a cab.
I don't even want to hear anything from stupid
McRae. Yes, spoiler alert
from the film from 1995.
The other thing is, I feel like
McRae has not showered since that first HOH competition when he was hanging on a thing getting sprayed with water. I feel like McCray has not showered since that first
HOH competition when he was hanging on a thing
getting sprayed with water. I think that was the last show.
He showered in Amanda's
tears all week because that was hilarious.
They were saying last
night on the feeds that Amanda was giving him a
blowjob and they left their mics on.
They're so disgusting.
They're just so gross.
They really are.
Why is McRae suddenly off the hook?
Well, I mean, I guess he won 8-0-8 so nobody could go after him.
But you know they're not going to go after him.
It seems like he's just totally off the hook.
The only person anybody wanted out was Amanda.
So I guess in that way...
No, they wanted Alyssa, too.
Alyssa, yeah.
On the live feeds, they were like...
Even before Alyssa switched over to wanting to get Amanda out, the reason they really wanted to go after Alyssa, yeah. On the live feeds, they were like, even before Alyssa switched over
to wanting to get Amanda out,
they really wanted to go after Alyssa,
I think mainly because Alyssa started
telling people that she didn't trust Andy,
which she shouldn't have trusted Andy
anyway, and so when Andy found out
about this, Andy then sort of,
I think he started a campaign against her.
You guys, on all your Joker's
updates, people can correct me if I'm wrong.
So the thing is this.
Alyssa's days were numbered anyway,
even if she didn't vote for Amanda.
So this was inevitable.
Okay, but here's the problem.
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
I was just going to say that Alyssa could have done
what she originally had planned,
and in the end here, in the final stretch,
really tried to make a girls' alliance
because Gina Marie stayed
pretty true to her. She could have put her up and didn't.
And she could have probably talked
Amanda mostly into it. The thing is,
everybody knew that Andy was a fucking rat, and
Amanda would not believe it. Andy's
admittedly a rat. Like, he came out of the
closet as a rat to the other team, and
they're like, that's great, good job, buddy!
The way this should have gone down is, when Judd
came back into the house,
Judd and Alyssa were starting to have a little bit of an alliance.
At that point, they needed to rope in Gina Marie and Aaron,
and lock down the four of them as the final four,
and they could have controlled the house, because Aaron is a good player,
Alyssa's a good player, Gina Marie's a good player,
and Judd is pretty decent too.
So, I mean, that should have been the final four moving forward two weeks ago. Look, we can't go
back there at this point, but the other
problem here is, and I know I'm
jumping a little bit ahead, but
the problem is that dumbass
McCray ended up putting
Alyssa on the block against
Gina Marie
tonight, and the problem there is
Alyssa had, you know,
mended fences for the most part with Amanda,
and I don't know why he didn't show her
some allegiance, because then McRae and
Alyssa could have fought together to go final two
by taking out each final
member of the
exterminators. I just think he made
a huge mistake.
Did he assume that Alyssa
backpedaled on her deal?
Yeah, he assumed that Alyssa was the one that flipped her vote.
And he was trying to tell Amanda, I don't know that we can trust Andy.
And Amanda, she sealed her own fate.
She just kept saying, we can trust him, we can trust him.
Believe me, I trust him with all my heart.
He's the best, blah, blah, blah.
And so McCrae listened to his girlfriend and trusted Andy.
So when Alyssa got kicked out, he thought Alyssa switched.
But then why, when Amanda was
kicked out of the house, she
gave attitude to Andy right before
she left, and she was like, dude, I'm really sorry,
but McCray, did he not listen
to Amanda? Did he not realize
like, oh, well shit, I clearly shouldn't
be aligning myself with Andy.
I should totally jump on the Alyssa bandwagon.
But the craziest part of it all is that when
Alyssa finally got evicted, she thought
that McCray was the one who was the
vote that went awry.
Proving once again that this house will drive you all
insane. Yeah, absolutely.
But I mean, it's a shame because if McCray,
if he had kept Alyssa off the block,
one of the exterminators would have gone home
and then it would have been three exterminators versus
the two of them.
And the thing is, when you take out someone from an alliance,
then things start to get wobbly, you know?
What should have happened is he should have put up Gina Marie and Andy,
and they should have sent either one of them home,
but preferably they should have sent home Gina Marie if they were smart, because Gina Marie actually does have a lot of legit wins under her belt,
and I actually don't think that anybody truly hates her except for Candice, understandably.
Except for black people.
Yeah, except for everybody.
And now Jews.
Yes, well, yeah.
I mean, she has a lot of haters.
But the point is this.
She actually has a legit threat at winning the 500 grand if she gets to the final two
because she does have significant wins under her belt.
They should have taken her out because then you'd really have a house left full
of floaters, and then at that point,
you actually end up increasing
your odds if you're somebody like Spencer, if you're
somebody like Andy. Yeah,
absolutely. Well, can I ask you guys something
that I'm really wondering, especially
after this week? What did
Puerto Ricans ever do? I mean,
when did that become a thing?
I've heard people being racist against black people forever. I've heard people being homophobic. I mean, when did that become a thing? I've heard people being racist against black people
forever. I've heard people being homophobic.
I've heard all of that.
But Puerto Ricans? Specifically,
where did that come from?
They gave us West Side Story, you guys.
Let's all jump off of their ass.
Gina Marie was saying
this week,
well, first of all, Andy was saying,
and you can find this on YouTube,
but it's one of the conversations
they were having about Alyssa, because that's all they do
is trash talk people, which
is horrible, right, you guys? But anyway,
Andy was saying... What are we doing right now?
Exactly. Andy was
saying, well, you know,
I look at the picture,
you know, I look at the pictures of Alyssa
and her kids,
and her kid doesn't even look like her.
It's, like, confusing.
And then Gina Marie was like,
yeah, her kid looks like some dirty brown Puerto Rican piece of dirt.
Really?
I mean, that's, like,
how many tie-breaks are they going to go against the Puerto Ricans?
What did the Puerto Ricans ever do?
You guys weren't West Side Story.
You'll forgive everything.
Yeah.
I think you make sense.
Do you always have to make a Broadway reference
the way Ben always has to name drop?
I know.
I haven't name dropped at all today.
I don't have anything to name drop about.
Trust me.
I'm sure in the next 20 minutes
you'll find a way to squeeze one in.
I hope so.
Squeeze one in.
So let's backtrack to the beginning of the week a little bit.
Let's recap some of the events that led up to tonight.
Which was clearly the goal was to embarrass Amanda on TV at all possible times.
Yes, and she gave him a lot of material to do that. So Sunday's episode I thought was peculiar
because we pretty much learned right off the bat
that Gina Marie was going to nominate McCray and Amanda
and that was it.
There was no question about it.
And the producers did not even bother trying
to create some misdirection, create some suspense
about who else might go up.
The producers were like, these two are going
to go up, but they don't know. And the suspense of the
episode was wondering what their reactions
would be like. And I
was riveted. What did you guys think?
I don't know if I would use the word
riveted, but
yeah, kind of. I don't know. I mean,
riveting? I was reading
Facebook comments. I'm sorry.
It reminded me of the episode of
Survivor Pearl Islands when Rupert was voted
off, and again,
it was pretty much announced early on in the episode when Rupert was voted off. And again, it was pretty much announced early on in the episode
that Rupert was going home, but he had no idea.
And the whole episode was sort of like this big swan song to Rupert.
And he was blissfully going into tribal council thinking he'd be safe,
and then the axe came down on him.
And it's a great technique with reality TV sometimes
where it's not so much about the result.
It's more about how they're
going to react when they're so
incredibly blindsided.
Weren't you guys surprised that Amanda,
again, she's a horrible
human being, but she's
also pretty smart compared
to the other
disasters in that house.
So I find it really
hard to believe that she didn't realize
that at least these dummies in the house
would still see her and McCray as a power
couple and as a block of votes.
And they made it this far in the
game. The fact that they made it this far
as the only remaining couple
is insane to me.
The fact that that was a surprise to her
is just crazy to me.
She had a meltdown this week, so who knows what was going on.
Her social game went out the window.
The moment that Alyssa became HOH, she won that endurance competition,
and that Judd came back in the house, Amanda's social game just went right out the window.
It was always sort of on the line, and we always said that she was going to play too hard,
and then she just went.
She just lost it.
She lost it.
Well, here's the thing.
I take issue with anybody calling Amanda smart.
People say that.
That's like what everybody says.
Well, Amanda's smart.
I don't understand why.
Amanda is so not smart.
She's a fucking idiot.
Not one of her evictions, the only eviction that she got that I think was actually helpful
to her was Helen.
I mean, that one was legit. But the other one,
and I think that that was straight up
jealousy anyway. She didn't know if Helen was coming
after her. But she's not smart.
She's just a mean bulldog who
wants to control everything. She didn't even care
who it was. As long as she could say
who was going to go out of the house,
she was happy with it. I mean, think about every
move she's made. She thought Judd was the MVP.
She got him kicked off.
That wasn't even true.
She still doesn't even know that was true.
She won't believe Judd.
She hasn't done anything smart
the whole time she's been there.
She's just been a nasty boy.
Remember how she screwed up to Howard?
Yes.
That's true.
Oh, and that was another thing in that fight.
Gina Marie brought up the fact
that Amanda told everyone
that Howard said he wanted to fuck her up the ass or whatever.
That was another cut to fish moment.
So thanks, YouTube.
Yay, YouTube.
Okay, so maybe Amanda's not smart,
but I will say I think she's shrewd.
I think she can read people pretty well.
She's a shrew.
Take off the D and I'll agree with you.
She's a shrew and she's shrewd.
I think she knows how to manipulate people to a certain extent.
But her social game was her big...
Yeah, so did Osama Bin Laden.
He'd strap bombs to their children if he didn't listen to them.
Well, so Amanda would make a wonderful terrorist.
Yes, replace those fake saline sacks with a nice nail bomb and win Israel.
They're probably not full of saline.
They're probably full of, I don't know, like...
Melted Legos.
Melted Legos?
Melted Legos.
I like pepperoni and semen the best.
Listen, listen.
Just gumballs.
She actually has a little knob on her back. If you turn it, it's on her tramp stamp. If you turn it, a gumball comes Yeah. She actually has like a little knob on her back.
If you turn it, it's on her tramp stamp.
If you turn it, a gumball comes out of her nipple.
No, she has like a sleep number.
Just falls out like this.
She's a craft medic adjustable.
This is what it sounds like.
She's like, hey, you want a gumball?
Gumball.
That's, by the way, one of the most disgusting images we've ever seen. I actually have a gumball machine behind me right here,
and I'm too afraid to pick it up and put it on screen right now.
Yeah.
Hey, guys, look, I found her tampon.
Ew!
Okay, this got real juvenile real quickly.
Anyway, the point is this.
She's a disaster.
She walks around in her underwear,
and she bullies people,
and then she cries about the fact that
she's being viewed as a bully,
and she makes fun of people.
Her social game is just...
It's horrendous.
But was it her social game,
or did she just really straight-up
lose her goddamn mind this week?
Because Sunday night's episode was hilarious,
because she actually believes
that Alyssa was bullying her,
and that she wasn't bullying Alyssa.
And I know we toss around that word a lot,
and we, you know,
we'll not even get into our Real Housewives stuff here,
but the word is used a lot,
but I will say, I do think she was bullying Alyssa,
and the fact that she couldn't see that
makes me believe that she just
truly lost her mind this week,
and it has nothing to do...
The editors are so wonderful.
There's an editor who just hates Amanda's guts,
because out of all the chances that they've
given Amanda, and all the rigging they've tried to give
Amanda,
one editor just keeps fucking her over.
First she comes out and she's confused that everyone's booing her,
which was beautiful.
That was the best part of the night. I love it.
It's the second week in a row that we've had boos.
And wait, did you also see how they were trying to pump in some clapping,
but we know that there was really no clapping going on in that audience?
Yeah, that was Allison's butt cheeks clapping together.
But I don't even know what that meant.
I just think it was a funny image.
And I can't.
No, it's not a funny image.
It's a terrifying image.
But the other thing was she keeps referencing Bubby.
Like this is the second time that she's been like, well, you know, Bubby.
Maybe I shouldn't have been Bubby.
Like giving herself a laugh.
They would never show that on the air.
This is when she dressed like an old woman to torment Alyssa
and followed her around pretending she was Yenta from Fiddler on the Roof.
Sorry, Fagito Burrito reference.
But she was running around like an old lady trying to torment her,
and it didn't make the air,
and she thinks she's this hilarious sitcom star,
and the editors are like,
fuck you, we're not even putting that in Amanda.
And how funny is it that every time Amanda tried
to bully Alyssa, Alyssa just would laugh
in her face.
Like, thanks for bullying
me, but no thanks.
I would have taken
you seriously had you not owned
a one-piece.
I sadly have to evict
your taunting.
Thanks.
Thanks, Julie.
But also, girls like Alyssa,
like really gorgeous girls who
take care of themselves and are really pretty
and merry wealthy, are used to
homely fat chicks hating them.
There's nothing you can do.
Go to Fatburger Bitch.
I think that
Amanda was basically
reliving her high school.
She was taken back to high school. You could see all of a sudden
she became that bitter outsider who was never
accepted by the cool girls. I think that was all
dredged up by Alyssa.
What I also thought was funny was that Amanda
kept on making fun of Alyssa's
plastic surgery. She's like, how many doctors
did you get to do that?
What's going on with your Joker face?
Yes, which is why I'm making
fun of Amanda's lips. I want to make something clear.
Yes, I'm calling Amanda fat,
but I'm a fat person calling her fat.
Let me tell you what. I'm offended.
I'm offended. You know, it's like that chick from
the big C, Laura Linney, said.
You can't be, like, you have to be, like, fat and jolly.
What'd she say?
You can't be fat and mean?
That's so true, Amanda.
You have to be nice.
But the thing is this, though.
Amanda has had big, gigantic, ridiculous breast implants.
So don't go making fun of someone for their plastic surgery
when you honestly have two Mack trucks on your chest.
Can I just stop you for a second and say that Amanda is also in love
with a 24-year-old pizza boy from Minnesota with a girl haircut.
So why don't we just stop talking about Amanda's plastic surgery
and talk about the men that she chooses in her life.
Well, you know what?
She had an abortion right before she came into the house,
apparently, according to this
fight, so maybe she's still working that
off, and maybe that guy actually had
a good job and stuff. You know what?
You only have so many abortions before
you realize that the good guys are jerks, too.
Maybe a pizza boy would work out better.
He'd at least probably try to take care of the baby.
Emmy, if you're watching this right now,
one of our loyal listeners, Emmy,
that would be the quote of not just tonight's episode,
but the quote of the season of the TV clique
talking about Big Brother.
So somebody needs to jot that down
and go log in to your Cafe Press account
and make our thread list and make me a shirt.
Make Ronnie a shirt and make me a shirt.
Cafe Press.
I've been out for three episodes
and I don't get to be
this unfiltered and horrid
anywhere else in my life.
Thanks for having me back, guys.
Honestly, I'm still
reeling from that line.
You can only have so many abortions
before you realize
that the good guys are jerks too.
Well, we're all friends with you.
You're going to love us or hate us.
We know how it works.
That should be like when Carrie Bradshaw would sit down at her computer
to start off an episode of Sex and the City.
That would have been a really good dark one.
I couldn't help but wonder
how many abortions do I have to have
before I decide on men?
Okay, I'm taking a look
at the Twitter.
I want to check in and see what people are saying here.
I want to bring up one thing that Miss Cleo posted on Twitter,
which is another good point here.
And it was something that I was talking about earlier,
about how much I'm angry with,
or how pissed I am at McRae for nominating Alyssa.
I agree with
Miss Cleo here who's saying
I think production expected
McRae to win HOH but they didn't have
any idea that he would nominate Alyssa
because there's no way
after losing Aaron and after losing Amanda
that production wants to also
lose Alyssa and I think that they were
thrown for a loop. I mean I feel like you could
read it even on Julie Chen when Alyssa
walked out on stage like, oh shit,
are we going to have to really do this for the next three weeks
with these bums?
Well, Tammy on Twitter says
that basically he
went with the majority. Second verse, same
as the first. So he knew,
he basically saw that the house was all
against him, and he put up
Alyssa. They're already against him though.
That's what's so stupid.
That's the bad logic of it.
He thinks he's going to endear himself.
This is my least favorite move.
When people think they're going to endear themselves
to the majority by doing what they want,
it never works.
It does nothing for you.
The Gingers are together, right?
So you've got Spencer and Andy
who are the oddest couple ever,
but they're together. So they're going to be voting against McRae.
And then Gina Marie and Judd, do you think they'll stick together?
There has to be, like, two pairs, right?
How's this going to unfold?
I don't know. At some point, maybe McRae...
Nobody can trust Andy.
I mean, I think that that is fairly obvious now in the House, too.
Don't trust Andy.
I know.
Okay, so wait.
There are some things on the Facebook I'm trying to look at.
Kelly Big Red says,
Amanda admitted that she dated Jax from Vanderpump Rules for a little bit.
Oh, my God!
That, by the way, is a full-on...
Well, I was going to say it's a full-on lie because he's way out of her league,
but then I remembered that he doesn't have a league.
No, that guy sticks it.
Yeah, that guy will stick it in a water fountain.
Yeah, but my God,
like, between Stassi and Amanda,
could you imagine?
No.
Please don't make me.
She probably was the one who had to get that.
That's probably where her abortion came from.
Oh, we know Jax is all about that.
Remember Jax
banged up a girl and then
didn't she have an abortion? Or she told him that there was an abortion
but she really had the kid?
Oh my god. Oh yeah.
Did she really have the kid on that show?
Oh my god. I forgot about Vanderpump Rules. How could I?
Shockingly, I don't remember
the finer details of Vanderpump Rules.
Now this is just making me hope that
Big Brother 16 stars the cast of Vanderpump Rules
and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
That should just be the entire cast.
That would actually be an amazing cast.
It would be amazing.
So anyway, while Ronnie looks at more things,
the other thing I want to talk about...
I'm getting sucked in.
I'm like, uh-huh, uh-huh.
You go, girl, you go.
The other thing I wanted to really talk about was how after Amanda was nominated,
she accuses Gina Marie of being jealous of the showmans.
She's, like, unable to see the logic that they're a duo that have to be broken up.
Instead, she's like, you're just jealous.
You're just jealous you don't have Nick with you right now.
You're just jealous of us, which is my favorite girl defense of all time.
You're just jealous.
Well, that's what, you know what, that's, I have to say everyone with children,
like the real ones, not the ones in the sink, like people who are actually parents,
stop telling your children that everybody is jealous of them
because that comes from our parenting, you know?
Whenever I got my ass kicked in school, my mom was like, they're jealous.
Oh, really, Mom?
They're jealous of a 300-pound fifth grader?
Like, give me a break.
They're not jealous. Like, you should have told me're jealous of a 300-pound fifth grader? Like, give me a break. They're not jealous.
Like, you should have told me.
They're mad at you because you're 300 pounds.
You carry your books in front like a girl.
Stop doing that, and you'll stop getting beat up.
Like, run around the block.
You know, if my mother had been honest with me,
I might be somewhere 30-something years old.
Instead, she told me everyone is jealous,
and I'm walking around fucking paranoid everywhere I go.
Every time someone's mean to me, I'm like, they're so jealous.
They're not jealous.
You're an asshole.
Change your ways and people will stop being mean to you.
Mothers. Shut up, Mom.
Can you just tell I was just in Texas for a week?
Mothers, why? Clearly you still need a few
days to cool down after that fun trip
home with the family. No, it takes months.
And then it's Christmas.
Okay, Emmy
says something really good here.
Remember when Amanda said she was going to breastfeed
and Aaron said, what are you going to feed it?
Silicone? Love it.
Oh, and the other best line of the week was
Gina Marie saying, when
Amanda and Alyssa were going at it, she's like,
these two are about to punch the plastic
out of each other.
Yeah.
I did also like tonight when
Gina Marie was saying something to Amanda
like, you don't understand what
can comprehend in your head
with your thoughts and the comprehension.
Amanda's like, that makes no sense.
I was like, okay, point for Amanda.
And then
Gina Marie was like, yo, I may
not be smart
but all you've got to know, I'm loyal.
I'm loyal to a fault.
Wait, I actually thought that
she was, again, I'm sorry to keep bringing up
our Housewives references
and watch what crap happens, but I really
thought that the next line out of her mouth was going to be
with thick as thieves, like Caroline Manzo.
I mean, she talks just like those
kids. And you know that poof that
she puts in her hair, that poof that Gina Marie puts in her hair,
she really takes a lot of time.
I watched her, like, shaping it on Big Brother After Dark once,
and she was really concerned.
She's like, is it perfect? Is it perfect?
I need it to be perfect.
For Nick. For Nick.
For Nick.
I'm like, I don't know if Nick really cares
if your hair looks like a figure eight, okay?
I think Nick would much prefer a penis,
so work on that.
Yeah, yeah, a penis that looks like a figure eight.
Maybe that's how he shapes his pubic hair.
Maybe that's why she does it.
He has his hair in, like, a little bun.
No, he clearly, he goes bare.
He goes bare.
Yeah, it's all smooth.
Smooth, no stubbles.
Just how Spencer likes it.
Oh,
too soon.
Too soon.
Is it inappropriate if I make fun of a
child molester? I think being a child
molester is worse than making fun of a child molester, right?
Agreed. Yeah, that's probably worse.
So what did you guys think about the
veto competition this week, which
set up a
Macranda showdown?
What was it?
Oh, it was so good.
There were bowling balls.
Oh, my God.
They put that hippo in a tutu and made her turn around in circles.
That was best.
I can't believe Walt Disney isn't suing her.
I was about to say.
It definitely looked like there was some copyright.
Or Milton Bradley with the makers of Hungry Hungry Hippos.
Or the inventor of bowling for having their game.
I wish they had gone all the way and just made it a Hungry Hippos
and just thrown gumballs at it.
Right, thank you.
Instead of gumballs, just throw...
Yeah, exactly.
She wants a heavier carb.
She wants a gnocchi.
She wants gnocchi, not gumballs.
Just full-on quesadillas.
Just like a frisbee.
A frisbee that's in her mouth.
Here's some mac and cheese powder.
Just pour it right down your mouth.
Hungry, hungry hippos.
Man.
No, that was...
We missed a very important week.
I've been laughing so hard
I'm getting snot.
Isn't that nice? You guys want to make out?
So last week we missed a really huge week
when Aaron got kicked out.
We have to talk about that, right?
Let's talk about that a little bit, yeah.
Okay, you guys start. I forgot what happened.
Well, what happened was that Julie Chen
confronted Aaron about some of the things that she said.
She quoted, it was actually a surreal moment,
because first we had the first booing I can ever remember of someone getting voted out of Big Brother.
Then Julie Chen's sitting there saying things like,
shut up and go make some rice, or what were the other ones?
Okay, here's the point.
go make some rice, or what were the other ones?
Okay, here's the point.
What Erin did to defend herself after Julie called out, like,
three of the 14 million horrible things she said,
Ronnie, she essentially blamed Texas for her being a racist, horrible person.
Okay, well, I was just in Texas.
And let me tell you, bitch ain't far off. I mean, look, I'm not going to say everyone in Texas is racist,
ain't far off. I mean, look, I'm not going to say everyone in Texas is racist, but you're definitely allowed to say more things there than you would here. I mean, you can get away
with more things. I was at this dinner party of my, oh God, I hope my parents do not choose
now to start supporting my career choice, but I was at this dinner party of my parents'
friends, and one of the guys, he's this really rich, loaded guy,
started going off on all these offensive jokes.
I mean, this guy went for 20 minutes on just every offensive joke.
Like, one of them was,
how do you get black kids to stop jumping on the bed you put Velcro on the ceiling?
Like, fifth grade, terrible jokes.
I ended up just going out to the pool because I could drink this beer for free
and stay at the pool.
But they were just all laughing, laughing, laughing.
So I'm not going to sit here and stand up for Texas
because they're pretty full of shit in Texas.
And Aaron kind of is right.
But guess what?
I'm from Texas, and when I have something
racist and horrible to say,
I do them on a podcast like a normal fucking person.
I don't do it on national TV.
I mean, what's wrong with you? If you're going to be horrible,
give yourself a platform to do it the right way. I mean, what's wrong with you? You know, if you're going to be horrible, like, give yourself a platform to do it the right way.
Yeah, I think also Erin was so shocked and surprised
that she was sort of like scrambling or whatever
because she did sort of get her moorings a little bit later on
and she said, you know, I just want to say I feel really horrible, da-da-da.
But then she again said, I'm just from Texas.
That's how we do it.
Well, what's up with no one understanding that they're on TV all the time?
You know, she was completely shocked that
that stuff was caught, and then Amanda tonight's like,
well, you guys haven't seen it. You know, I don't
know if you guys saw it or not.
Yeah, we saw it. You're on the internet,
stupid. Like, everyone sees it.
I thought that Julie was about to read back some
of her stuff, you know?
Because Julie's like, she said, you know,
you are aware that you are on the internet and everything you
say, you know, it goes
out to the world. And then she looked down to her
cue card and I thought she was going to read about the things about the
Puerto Ricans and stuff. I was like, oh my god, here it comes.
She got off easy because Grodner
had a direct line into Julie's earpiece
and was like, don't grill my girlfriend.
Yeah, I knew that they were going to
leave Amanda alone because they really haven't showed Amanda
being racist on the show.
They've showed her being horrible.
A bully. All they'll do is show her being a bully.
They will not show anything else wrong with Amanda.
So do you guys think that on finale night,
after all the votes are cast and everything,
and then they can start having an honest conversation,
do you think that Julie is going to break the news to all these people who've lost their jobs? Gina Marie,
Aaron, and
Amanda? Let me tell you right now, I'm already
kind of checking out because of what has happened in the past
three weeks. If they do not go
for the gusto
on the finale night and just
ruin these people's lives,
they are going to just be
upsetting more and more fans than they already have.
Because at this point, the only thing to talk about this season
is how disgusting these people are and the fact that they're losing their jobs.
If they do not bookend the season with Julie calling these people out
even more than she called out Aaron when she was evicted,
the season is a complete waste.
I agree.
And the other thing is that it almost feels like they're building up to that
because every week Julie says, now remember, since these
are jury, they're going on the jury,
they're still in the game, so I can't let them know about anything in the
outside world. It's giving me hope.
Almost as if they are
really tempted to tell them that they've
lost their job, but they can't.
I don't think they're going to.
Julie Chen went on some late night talk show
the other day, I forgot which one.
And she was going off about Aaron and like how ignorant and stupid this young girl is.
And I was thinking, you know what, Julie Chen, you fucking homewrecker,
why don't you just be quiet?
And she's like, I'm going to put my journalist hat on
and say what I really feel about this girl.
It's like, bitch, first of all, you're not a journalist.
You're a host on Big Brother,
and you're on some other terrible talk show that your husband put you on.
So let's stop calling ourselves a journalist.
And second of all, a journalist doesn't come on with their opinions
and start bashing people on the show.
You don't see Ryan Seacrest talking about what a terrible singer Jordan Sparks is,
even though she is.
He just shuts up and smiles.
Are you saying that Ryan Seacrest is a journalist?
Yes.
I'm saying that Ryan Seacrest is about as much of a journalist as Julie Chen is,
and she needs to be fair,
and she needs to not be out there bashing people behind their backs,
even though it's Aaron and she totally deserves it.
But the thing that bugs me about it is that she's going to let Amanda off the hook.
She's going to let Spencer off the hook.
It's all going to Aaron, and Julie's going to go out on TV,
and she's going to go down the party line and make it all about Aaron.
They're all horrible. It's too much of a great opportunity
on CBS,
on live TV, for
Julie Chen to announce
they've all lost their jobs and seeing their reactions.
That being said, though, if Gina Marie
winds up in the final two, I don't
think CBS would be cruel enough
to say, hey, congratulations, you're in the final
two, you're about to win, but guess what? You just
lost your job. That would be awesome, though, because the other thing is, Gina Marie would just smack her hands and say, hey, congratulations, you're in the final two, you're about to win, but guess what, you just lost your job. That would be awesome, though, because the other thing is Gina Marie would just smack her hands
and say, bring it, mommy, bring it, mommy,
and she would say the $500,000 that she's going to win off this show after taxes
is going to probably be like $310,000.
That is more than that dumbass will ever earn in her entire life.
So guess what, give her the money. She doesn't care that she lost her job.
Well, Gina Marie's the one who's saying
that she's on N-word insurance, referring
to welfare. So she doesn't have a job
anyway. That's all bullshit that she had to fill
out in the bio. You can't just say, like,
I'm some unemployed, you know,
ex-drama queen who's done, like,
softcore internet porn
shoots and on the drink-haking
commercials. Like, you can't say that.
You have to say, like, I'm a kind of
good native, which she's totally not.
She's on welfare and she lives at her parents' house.
So she already knows that. She'll be fine.
So who do you guys want to win
HOH?
From Wondery, this is Black History for Real.
I'm Francesca Ramsey.
And I'm Conscious Lee.
What do most people think about when they hear the words Black History?
Rosa Parks, Reconstruction, MLK, February, Black History Month.
Exactly, exactly.
There are so many stories of Black History that we just are not really talking about
or thinking about, especially outside of February.
And we are about to flip the script on all of that.
Because on this show, you're going to hear a little less,
In August 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
And a little bit more.
She is a heroine to some, as a fighter for black rights.
She is a villain to others.

starting January 29th. Join Wondery Plus on the Wondery app or on Apple Podcasts.
Black is beautiful.
Academy is a new scripted podcast that follows Ava Richards, played by HBO's Industries'
Myhala Herald, a brilliant scholarship student who has
to quickly adapt to her newfound eat-or-be-eaten world. Ava's ambitions take hold and her small
town values break in hopes of becoming the first scholarship student to make The List,
Bishop Grey's all-coveted academic top 10, curated by the headmaster himself. But after realizing she
has no chance at The List on her own, she reluctantly
accepts an invitation to a secret underground society that pulls the strings on campus life
and academic success. If she bends to their will, she'll have everything she's ever dreamed of.
But at what cost? Academy takes you into the world of a cutthroat private school where power,
money, and sex collide in a game of life and death. Follow Academy
on the Wondery app or wherever you
get your podcasts. You can binge all
episodes of Academy early and ad-free

I'm going to say Gina Marie.
Well, wait. What were they doing?
Did they already start the HOH game?
I don't think so.
I just... At this point? I don't think so. I don't think so.
I just, at this point, it doesn't really matter.
I mean, I don't, McRae's not eligible, right, because he was just HOHed.
I want to see McRae get kicked off, just because I don't like him.
It's like, I don't think you could be mad at Bush, but think,
well, I guess I was going to say, you can't be mad at Bush and not Cheney, but I guess Cheney
was pulling the strings, so it would be a bad analogy.
But you know what I mean. You can't defend a
bad person and then suddenly be a good person.
Get rid of him.
Yeah.
I don't know. I'm just trying to
think in terms of who would make the week the most
interesting. Maybe Spencer.
Maybe Spencer in a weird way. He might pull something
funky, right? I think it'd be fun to have Andy because
he's such a little crying, sniveling
bitch that he'd freak out and not know what to
do and then he would probably just explode and
ginger ale and leprechauns
would explode out of his body.
Well, now it doesn't matter as much, right?
I'm sorry I keep wiping my face. I just
feel like
coming out of every orifice.
Like my eyes, my nose,
my lips, something in my teeth.
But anyway, it doesn't really matter now, right?
Because isn't this the week where
they had the double eviction, but now
they have that fast-forward episode, right?
Don't they have that
every year where they have like...
Ronnie, you're making it sound like they know
what they're doing as opposed to making it up as they
go. So just erase that out of
your memory. Well, they're going to have the Diamond
Power Vito or the Pandora's
Bullshit, Pandora's Box
and then they have that one where they go
a whole week in one episode.
Isn't the finale next week?
No, we still have two weeks.
We have two weeks. So what's happening is we have an eviction
on Wednesday. We have an eviction on Wednesday.
I won't be here for that show.
And then we have an eviction on Thursday.
And then we have...
So that will take us down to, what, six people?
Five people?
And then four people?
We're basically in the final round here.
We'll probably have a lot more.
Yeah, when it gets to this point,
it basically just depends on who wins the competitions.
It's not really about...
Is that right?
I feel like that every year.
More or less.
More or less.
More or less.
Like, every year there's a Sheila,
or there's a Spencer,
or there's someone who just can't win
who gets kicked out, you know?
It's like they obviously lose,
and then it comes down to,
God, who's it going to be in the final two?
Let me ask you this. Do you think that there's any chance of
them having a final three? Because this
cast was bigger than ever before, and they've never
also, they've also never done a final three.
I was thinking that.
I don't know.
Look at the...
Because they're going to be,
so how many people are left now?
You've got the exterminators and McCrae.
So it's five people.
And then after Wednesday, we'll be down to four people.
And then after Thursday, we'll be down to three people.
And then on Sunday, we'll have a... On Sunday, we'll probably have a lost footage from the season.
And then...
Oh, God, that'll be a goldmine.
It'll basically be just like a Nazi flag
waving in the breeze.
For 60 years.
It's just going to basically be
Triumph of the Will for an hour.
It'll just be like white people beating up Mexicans.
Yeah, it'll be that Ku Klux Klan scene
from Oh Brother Where Art Thou.
This season has made me, you know,
I'm half Lebanese and half white,
and now I'm all Lebanese, baby.
I'm at the age where I can start growing hair out of my ears,
maybe start growing some hair on my back.
Screw you, white side.
I'm getting rid of you.
My mom was complaining all week about how white people are going to be the minority,
and I was like, hell, yes, about damn time.
Get rid of the white people.
Screwed up everything in this world.
Yeah.
So we'll probably have a lot.
Enjoy your war in Syria, white people.
Bunch of jerks.
And then we'll probably have a Lost Footage thing
where they're going to sit around and drink champagne
and pretend to reminisce.
And then we'll have the finale on probably that Wednesday, right?
I think the finale is on the 18th or the 19th.
Yeah, so that would be that next Wednesday.
And then they'll probably launch Survivor after it or Survivor before it. I don't know. That's what they've been doing lately. is on the 18th or the 19th. Which, yes, that would be that next Wednesday. Yeah.
And then they'll probably launch Survivor after it
or Survivor before it.
I don't know.
That's what they've been doing lately.
Can we just bring on Teresa Giudice
and evict her ass, like, in the end?
Like, just make it all her losing?
Can she just lose every reality show ever?
That would make every reality show end up okay.
Well, I think...
Yeah, I think the air has just been
released
from the season.
It was so exciting getting Amanda out of there
and losing Alyssa, that was a tough blow.
Because if Alyssa were still in it...
There's nobody to root for.
That is the problem.
Yeah, because if we still had Alyssa
it would be a Janelle
versus the friendship situation from season 6. Do you have to bring up
the friendship, the truly, the worst
alliance in Big Brother history?
The worst. Speaking of pepperoni.
Well, you know, I think that there's something
super entertaining about
white trash bonding together and like
just sticking it out together. I watched
every episode of Alice.
Alright.
What's Alice?
Oh my god.
It was the original It's a Living, okay?
Okay.
You don't know what that is either?
It was originally titled It's a Swamp.
So anyway.
Anyone have any final thoughts
on Big Brother before we wrap this up?
I thought, you know,
it was just such a sad, it was such a wonderful week. It was one of the most exciting weeks on Big Brother before we wrap this up? I thought it was just such a sad,
it was such a wonderful week. It was one of
the most exciting weeks on Big Brother.
Not tonight, but last night's
episode of Amanda just crying
was probably one of the best episodes I've seen.
So for it to end on such a
down note was pretty sad. But for the most part,
good job, Big Brother. You had an entertaining week
after a few weeks of bullshit.
Yeah. I think
overall, this has been actually
a pretty great season.
There's a little slow patch
right in the middle, and now we're going to have a slow
patch at the end, but they always have a slow patch at the
end. That's just the way it is. Yeah. I think it's been a
fun season, too. I mean, it's been full of
racist idiots, but I think it's been
good. It's opened a lot of discussions. It's opened
a lot of doors for people to call
each other names on the internet and fight for 500
comments long. And at the end of the
day, no one's hugging, no one's making up, and
every race still hates each other. And I say,
you know what? God bless
America. Thanks, Big Brother. Thanks.
By the way, Entertainment Weekly, I was reading one
of their recaps, and their recapper
posted their idea for what they think
the twist should be next season.
I thought it had some potential
and he basically said that everyone
is told
everyone basically comes in with a secret
identity. It's almost like a murder mystery.
Almost like Clue.
You mean the best movie ever?
That article that you posted on Facebook
I read that and that was great.
You're welcome everybody.'re welcome, everybody.
No, but so this guy,
the recapper on EW.com
said,
tell someone that
they have a
totally fabricated identity, and they have to
maintain that identity, and not
slip up, because if they slip up,
then they lose
half of the potential prize earnings.
Then they would all be competing for $4 after a day and a half.
And then the thing is that you tell one person that, but then the truth is you tell them all that,
and they all have to sort of get through it.
I just think that would be fun.
I think it would be fun to bring back former showmances.
Clearly a lot of these people that were in showmances have gone on to get married, have children.
They're all gross.
Right, but hello, Big Brother is built on gross contestants.
I think that Entertainment Weekly is thinking way too hard, as usual, and I think that if Big Brother is smart, they will listen to our...
Zing.
Well, not really a zing, just like, it's too, you're thinking too hard. It's Big Brother. I think we have the best twist.
Bring back everybody's parents
and watch the old people duke it out.
Yeah.
And I say, if anything,
bring back MVP.
That was their best twist in years.
And keep it.
Keep it going.
Keep it going all the way through.
I just think that they should bring back
Cowboy and Nokomis,
and then I could just cry for
all summer long watching them rekindle
their bizarre
brother-sisterhood.
Can I tell you something? Over the weekend, I saw a boat
that was called Nokomis, and I was like,
oh my god, it's called Nokomis!
There goes Ben with the name dropping.
It was a boat. It was a boat dropping.
We knew
it was going to happen.
I saw a boat.
Ben is so fancy, and Ben
lives near Reno where they have fancy
yachts, and he saw a boat that was
called Nokomis. Did you say
Reno?
You guys, when I was in
Texas, I was on Martin Luther King
Boulevard. What? That's right.
Name drop.
Name drop.
By the way, I'm surprised they allowed that in Texas.
I know.
I'm surprised it wasn't like Robert E. Lee Highway.
Yeehaw.
Take the Yeehaw exit.
Boss Hog Avenue.
Martin Luther King is dead Boulevard, yay.
Yeah, I think that's what it was.
I think it was called Birth of a Nation Avenue.
You guys, it's so nice in life to find other terrible people to hang out with.
Usually it's just me making people mad at
Starbucks, but here I have you guys.
Hugs.
I hope we haven't
offended too many people with our little
I'm cracking up.
We've covered everything. Abortions,
racism. Yeah, I think
so. So everybody,
oh, you want to say something else? Should I say bye?
No, Manolet Carrera on our Watch for Crappens page...
Manolet, you're hot.
...says, I think they should just have a BB Porn Stars edition.
They'd make a lot of money on their live feeds for sure.
Ooh, yeah, they would totally bring back Stephen Daigle.
Oh, have you seen any of his porn?
He is ridiculous.
It's embarrassing.
I can't even watch it.
It is embarrassing.
My penis inverts when it comes on.
He's like,
Please make him stop.
Please you stop.
What a waste of working out that guy is.
