    haven't been able to get the family to finish the second to last episode yet.  Tried to stay away but other social media let me know who won.  Still will watch, but not sure why exactly.  Season was kinda lame and it won't be back on for a couple years because of COVID production.  

    Thinking of it, it may have been interesting (never get past the lawyers) to have seen a race in the COVID world.

     

    We just finished over the weekend. I have to agree with everything said above the entire last episode and the challenges were bad, and that final challenge might have been the worst they have ever had. 

     

     

  2. Spoiler

    Shocker- Cody won Part 2 and Enzo is saying he blew it. HA, just like every other comp this season

     

    I really hope Cody wins. Nicole is annoying as shit and as much as I love Enzo he played a worse game then Nicole this season. WOOOF

    I am also curious how long Enzo actually stayed up there.  I didn't see it flash a time, and I didn't hear them say anything so I am guessing it was like 12 minutes tops.  

    YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

     

    Enzo on the feeds guessed it lasted around 30-35 minutes total. He said he was up there around 15-20 and then Cody was up there another 10 minutes or so before he dropped.

    How's it going, everyone?

    Going from 100K headcount org to one with to less than 200 has been pretty interesting.  Literally building the truck while we're driving it.  PE play vs. F100, completely different structure.  Strategic recapitalization including $325MM in new financing.

    This week I got my first verbal agreements, contracts sent out, just waiting for ink on some transactional Enterprise deals, which is timely because this month is my last ramp/draw payment.

    The cool thing is that people who wouldn't even talk to me at my previous company are now excited about my offerings.  My sales VP and I were in meetings this week and a new flagship client even commented "glad we're finally doing business together."

    There's a huge difference between legitimate stress due to economics and geography - you can't argue those things, they are facts - and stress due to organizational dysfunction - where management not only doesn't give a shit, but doesn't even answer emails or pick up the phone.

    I love our management structure - it's basically ownership, CRO, Sales VP, and Director - and I've got daily dialogue with everyone.  It's really liberating and very interesting, intellectually inspiring.  Some very smart people.

    Can't wait til the election is over though.

    Awesome update. Support from top to bottom makes a ton of difference. 

     

    For me it's been throttle down the whole year, even in the heart of the lockdown I was getting calls left and right from people I had never heard from before. It's been a really odd year obviously but not sure if it gave decision makers more time to realize what was really important to them in their relationships or what but it has been good. 

    Now it's managing my time better. That obviously can always be an issue but when you have the volume you want it's easy to just plateau instead of taking the steps to continue to take things higher. Obviously a good problem to n\have but still isn't easy to manage all of the time. 

    I will say if you watch the news you wouldn't think that anybody is buying shit but I have to say in certain segments big deals are getting done all over the place, A LOT of business.

    Not that they will do it, and its technically Cody's choice now, but since Enzo is HOH he could try and convince Cody to take Christmas.  If Christmas isn't evicted (and maybe even if she isn't, Enzo can do no better than final 2, which maybe he's good with the 50k).

     

    If the final two ends up Enzo and Nicole it would be the perfect ending to hands down one of (if not) the worst seasons in Big Brother history. 

    But at this point I would be shocked if Cody didn't win the last HOH

    I realize Nicole sees a problem with the next round if she votes out Cody this week but it’s Not impossible to overcome. With ousting Cody, she would have had a huge resume builder, if she could make it to the finals. I won hoh, I made Cody feel safe by convincing him I wanted Memphis gone, I won the veto, I backdoored Cody, I broke the tie to send Cody home.

    that’s a take charge move during crunch time. Any bb player or fan, except Cody, would have to respect that.

    Memphis wouldn’t be pissed at her. Enzo would but he would have to get over it. Even if Nicole didn’t survive next week, it’s better to get knocked out in 4th playing a real game, then a quiet exit at 3. Or a guaranteed loss in the finals.

    Btw, I think Cody deserves to win the 500k, but his main weakness is that Enzo can’t win shit. You need a wing man that can also consistently win. That could have cost him the game this week.

     

    No mention that this was the third time Nicole has played that exact Veto comp............

    I actually think Nicole still has a decent shot to win. If Cody or Enzo win HOH and Christmas is sent home Nicole can still with the last HOH and take Enzo instead of Cody. Sure that isn't as easy as it sounds but I think taking out Memphis now is the right play. If she back doors Cody she is pretty much guaranteed to go home next week if she didn't win the veto. I don't think that is the case with Christmas staying. 

  7. Enzo is awful at comps but he does have one of the better social games in the last several seasons. 

    I was hoping for fireworks when it got to this point but it looks like this season is just going to go out the way it started. 

    And I can't wait for everyone to be wearing masks who have been in quarantine for the last 3 months, except you know the one person that hasn't that is the ONLY person that should actually have a mask on and that is Julie.

    It wasn't Bill's most bent-over hilarity.....but it was so fucking on point and I love how he kept going with it like prostate exam, "Moan if you want to, it's for your own good to see this thru."  

    Agreed it wasn't his best work but he knew where he was and what he was doing and said let's fucking go there. Which is why it was so perfect. He knew what he was doing and the reaction is exactly why he did it.

    David rightfully catches heat that he is not anywhere close to being an all-star, but there are other players that equally sucked this season. Some players can only succeed in the right circumstances and fail in other situations. Bayleigh, Ian, Keesha(?) were all worthless. I will give Davonne and Kevin a bit more credit for playing somewhat this season.

     

    Agreed but hearing David say "8th place in All Stars not bad" or whatever he said made me laugh.

  10. Perfect ending. I would have been fine either way but glad they got sent down as it opens up more story lines, characters, and options for season 2. I can only assume Roy joins the coaching staff next season.

    I'm going to admit something that should embarrass me, but doesn't.  I'm enjoying Love Island infinitely more than this piece of shit.  I'm going to step up the pressure on my wife to drop this show from our repertoire permanently.  

     

    Temptation Island is also great.

    I think I need to retire for the year already lol.  Yesterday was ugly.

     

    It's still early. 

    Miami and UAB have made me some money. Fell on my face everywhere else so far.

    Season 1 is amazing and season 2 is amazing. 

    That is fact.  

    I was born in 77. 

    I love this show. 

    This although I was born in 75. 

    Wife and I finished last week and both loved it. Perfect amount of cheese. Just solid entertainment. 

    Side note- We watched the original with our twin 10 year old boys over the weekend and they loved it. Seeing them realize that Daniel had been training the whole time and not just being Miyagi's slave was awesome. And they both had huge grins on their faces at the end when Daniel takes the title.

    there was a certain angle they showed of one of Cody's shots- it was pretty close up and from behind where the putt was taking place. from that angle, i could not understand how anyone in this game could just hit the ball straight out. there was *so* much room for error, even someone who's never played a sport in their life should have been able to keep the ball in play every time. jesus that was an embarrassing display.

    and seriously, Kevin is so awful at this game, and he gets way too much airtime. he comes in last place at damn near everything, and usually in embarrassing fashion. he also keeps having these emotional DR sessions where he asks out loud how he's finding himself where he is in the game, and i'm just like...are you fucking kidding me? you seriously don't a)see the super obvious alliance that you're not a part of, b)realize that you don't "talk game" with any of them, and c)recognize that you keep being nominated and surviving because nobody is threatened by you? because you're terrible? 

    one of the major downfalls of this game: CBS prioritizes casting stereotypical gay guys and sassy black women over the literally tens of thousands of applicants who can and will actually compete, both athletically and strategically. why cast 16 good players when you could just cast the same cliched stereotypes every season. are there no intelligent and/or athletic gays and black ladies? i'll say it again: this Kassting lady seems like she sucks. 

     

    100% agree. There have been a few reality shows that have dug a little deeper to find quality players from different backgrounds. Big Brother is not one of those however they have always been about getting their token in each category and then filling the rest of the cast with young good looking white people that "America will love to watch all summer"

     

    My first thought was the Amazing Race does a pretty good job with not only getting their "token" groups but that they can actually compete. There have been plenty of qualify minority groups cast including the older gay couple from the first season that finished top 3 I think. Survivor also does a good job of it. Say what you want about Richard Hatch but he was playing chess and everyone else was playing checkers that first season.

    also, after having watched every single reality show that Davonne has done, it was beyond obvious that the producers were telling her to, for lack of a better term, "black it up" if you will, during her DR sessions. it's no secret that they ask that of the black women they cast, it was just obvious that Davonne was happy to oblige this year, and she definitely got more air time for it. 

    100% agree as well. 

     

    The triple elimination should really mix things up. It will finally be time for the 6 to start talking shots at each other (unless Cody tries to backdoor Christmas this week) 

    But overall this have been a horrible season.

    Unless you're Dani, why even take that shot before it's necessary.  Until you get to the final 6 of the alliance, why ruffle feathers that need not be ruffled?

     

    I think Enzo will be the key player. Cody sure as hell isn't going to want him to go home as he has his back. At some point the 6 will have to start turning on each other and you need numbers to do so. David, Kevin, and Enzo are #'s until they aren't in the house anymore. You are right it might not happen until the final 6 but it will be interesting to see who takes the first shot.

    oh yeah, Nicole's zing was brutal, but well deserved. one of the best zings in years.

     

    And her in the DR claiming she doesn't whine and then saying "That was a whine wasn't it?". 

    Davonne seems really cool I just can't get past the fact that she thinks she is such a good player when she is horrible at almost every comp. The fact that she didn't grab the stuffed animals and walk around with them until she found a cage or another one wasted so much damn time. Not to mention her assuming it was David that voted out Ian and it couldn't possibly be Nicole is just a head scratcher. 

    I assume she goes home tonight and then it will be interesting to see if one of the 6 wins HOH if they will just take out Kevin/David or I don't know actually try winning the fucking game. 

    I think Danni and Nicole are screwed as the boys are going to pick them off just like it has happened on countless previous seasons. Cody and Tyler look to be the front runners currently. 

  17. There is nothing that makes my head explode more than the- I don't care what answer you give me I just want to get in an argument

    The topic doesn't matter, the answers don't matter, they just want to argue. 

    "I don't care"- WHY DON'T YOU CARE!?

    "that sounds good"- WHY DON'T YOU HAVE AN OPINION!? 

    "No, I disagree"- WHY DON'T YOU LISTEN TO ME!?

    But the topper is when they make a decision that affects their life and it somehow becomes your fault that they came to that decision. 

    15 years married and I will never understand that shit.

    What would even be the advantage of backdooring someone with zero pull like David?  Maybe things will change when they run out of floaters to kick out of the house, but this season has been terrible so far.  Maybe an all-returning cast was a bad idea.

     

    I said the same thing when Memphis mentioned that. Memphis with the POWER MOVE to backdoor the guy that has no alliance in the house, and hasn't won a damn thing other than being lucky in the pitch black. 

    Sure one of them is going to have to realize that they are going to have to start eating their own soon enough but holy hell this season has been horrible. Just awful, my only hope is Day or David (HA) win HOH next week so the 6 that have down nothing all season will have to sweat it out and a crack will start to show.

    As for the Nicole practicing her speech to vote out Ian, Ian was happy to find out she was in an an alliance so "meh" on her practicing her speech.

    They 100% give them lines to say.  Cody mentioned it earlier this season on the feeds.  Or they will just ask them leading questions to get the responses they want for the show.

    Correct and someone like Dani you can tell when she is just expressing what she thinks and when like the other night she is saying what the producers want her to say
