Yeah lots of the old timer "vets" are wifed up.
Corey used to be good for 3/4 cast members per season.

And I don't know if y'all know, Cory has kids and a family. He's trying to win this money for his kids.

Somewhat related news... Road Rules will be re-booted in paramount+.

Pretty pumped for that.

Nelson is apparently from Austin. Surely someone here went to high school with him.

We getting a pair elimination tonite/ever?

I think there are 4? girls with skulls and all 5 guy skulls are taken. Corey is currently a free agent, so it should be a guy day (pending some guy leaving from a fight/injury/personal issue). If tonite is a regular guy day, will there be a separate vote or comp to force one of the 5 skull holders down? Somethings gotta give.

I knew the breach was coming when it was looking like CT v Devin and then Lolo bailed.

Should be interesting to see what happens.

If CT wins this elim, he keeping Big T or getting someone new?

So what do we think is going to happen with Episode 1 spoiler: CT, and any future half of a losing pair? Does someone up top get a chance to snag him and ditch their own partner? Is he **** out of luck? Does he get a new partner?

---

If I were her, I'd be ditching Wes over him 7 days a week and twice on Sunday. I imagine at some point (maybe even as soon as next episode), whenever Fessy doesn't win a challenge, that he will get snatched up pretty quickly.

---

I think CT's glory days are done. He hasnt done well in the last few challenges, and has been exposed in eliminations. He lost to Jay last season. While Wes might be a snake, I still like him and think hes one of the best challengers currently. I like his strategy of befriending the rookies early on, although it didnt really work for the first episode lol.

I liked Fessi his first season, but he seems a little too cocky this year. I think he still has to prove himself.

---

I disagree and I think CT will make some noise this year and I'm betting he's in the final. There's a major difference between dad bod CT & current CT.

---

CT is 40 years old, has no alliances in the house, and was voted into elimination on the first episode. Lol are you sure you want to bet that he makes the final? I'll take that bet anyday.

---

Well well well.......there's ol boss man CT just hanging around. He's going to end up stealing some weak f'er like Josh's skull here soon. Or maybe Kyle's. Still rolling with him being in the final

---

Well I was wrong....he didn't even need to steal a skull.

I hate when they end an episode without an elimination. I wish I knew in advance, I wouldn't have watched until next week.

Curious to see what happens on the next episode! I bet itll be nothing, just a CT and Devin elimination as expected lol.

Im so glad Lolo went home. She was insufferable on camera.

I keep going back and forth whether CT and Big T want to hook up, or is it just purely a fatherly/mentor type of relationship. Either way, I love it lol.

His bio says his hometown is San Marcos, but I feel like I did hear he was from Austin as well. Which is even funnier because I remember in one of his first challenges a while ago, it was a trivia challenge and they asked him what is the capital of Texas. He said San Antonio!!!

How the hell are you from Austin and going to say San Antonio is the capital lol?? That deserves a come on man (Biden voice)!!

Lolo spilling the tea

Damn that's crazy. Wonder why the producers wanted Lolo to quit. Maybe they realized she was annoying and horrible for ratings lol.

My wife and I both thought CT and Big T landed a lot closer to the end and outside of the drop zone, so I could see some truth to Lolo's statement.

Not surprised if that's the case. Still watching.

If everything lolo is saying is true, it kind of ruins/cheapens the challenge for me. Knowing that the producers can manipulate who wins and goes home like that.

Yeah, I don't buy all of that from her.

Agreed. Some of it sounds like sour grapes.

Lol Devin had me cracking up last episode making fun of Josh and some of his commentary. I forgot what he said exactly but he was like, " Some of my downfalls are I talk too much, and Im extremely annoying. Will I stop? NO."

Him playing the layup card was genius too. You could tell he had some of the other challengers second guessing their votes after he gave his speech. Im surprised they didnt work on Darrell more. He was the obvious swing vote and there wasnt much politicking between CT/Devin and Darrell. They just hoped Darrell would vote in Josh.

Wes, has been my favorite cast member since he first appeared ('05 or '06?).
BUT, Devin has really impressed me this season with his humor, and CONSTANTLY triggering Josh. Scripted or not: Funny, lol action right there.

Lolo is a choker. She tripped on a damn hurdle in a race where she was supposed to win gold.

Devin is great because he also has self awareness. He knows he talks to much, he knows he is annoying to be around and he knows he isn't very good unless it is a puzzle. But he isn't going to change. Just keep drinking your beer and triggering Josh. I love it.

Darrell has spoken out as well supporting what Devin said. Basically it sounds like production didn't explicitly say they couldn't do it that way, so they did it and since it hadnt been against the rules as they were explained beforehand, it was ok.

CT. Come on man! What were you thinking. How are you going to scream up and down like a little kid about wanting Kam as your partner in front of Big T. Show come class man.

Big T crying and spilling her guts to CT was hard to watch. And that fake semi apology from CT was horrible and theb top it off by telling her she's not ready for the final.

Great episode by the way. I feel like Devin should've went after Fessi instead. Dumb as rocks and big, and not as agile as Darrell.

Felt like the old CT. Just needed him to get drunk and fight someone. Yeah those scenes with him and big T were brutal. Him telling her she can't win in the final, I was like ooohhhh. It's kind of those things we already know but don't tell it to her face when she's already down.

I thought Devin should have picked Cory. Don't go after a champ with experience.

Yep, that was really ugly. Hated to see him react that way, that was some old school CT ***** It would have been so easy to say "I love you Big T, you've been a great partner, but I gotta see what I can do with Killa Kam." and it would have been totally fine. Then the terrible apology, geez.

Still, if CT and Kam can keep from butting heads as two alphas, they could be a great team.

Sad to see Devin go. He really grew on me this season. His self awareness and knowing how to play his role in the house and on the show were clutch.

He couldn't right? Corey/Nam were rogue agents and ineligible?

Had a good laugh when Kam said that she wanted a humble partner like her.

CT's apology should of been better, but it made for good house drama.

Troll Devin was funny and I'm a little sad he's gone, but if Josh is gone, then that's ok.

This was my understanding as well regarding Corey being a rogue agent.

I dont get CT's thinking in picking Kam as a partner. He lied to his only friend/ally in the house (Kyle), who is now pissed at him. Why not choose Kaycee, who is arguably a better (or equal) competitor than Kam, and get access to the big brother alliance? Plus he gets to keep Kyle as a friend/ally.

Weird moves all around from CT in that last episode. Im sure hes cringing watching that episode again with how he treated Big T.

Yea sucks to see Devin go. Crazy thing is he kept up with Darrell, and should have beat him. That elimination was set up perfectly for Devin, he just choked. He is very underrated, and has taken out some legends in eliminations before (Wes, Bananas). I dont think he has the ability to win a final (who knows), but he can make some noise and get pretty far. I think if he starts training for these challenges seriously and working out more, he could become pretty dangerous.

I agree that picking Kaycee would have been a safer gameplay move.

I haven't seem Kam before as this is the first year I've watched in a while but I thought that was the no-brainer pick for CT. She seems absolutely dominant.

Also if I were Kyle I'd have considered Gabby over Nany. Nany whines, is older and has still never won, isn't bad but also isn't overly great in anything. Gabby has seemingly done fairly well as a rookie even though she spent the first handful of weeks partnered with the weakest guy in the game in Lio.

I do. Kam is the best girl elimination competitor so it's hard to see her get voted in (Leroy and Kaycee certainly will not ever do that) and none of the guys will vote him in because they all know what he can do in challenges and they do not want to face him. He's just gotta dodge 1 more elimination (hell maybe not anymore) and he has arguably the best finals partner in the house. CT does not need any alliances this late in the game. I'm betting he wins this whole thing
