Live Feed Discussion-September 5

[nonobadfish]

Notes and questions from tonight....

No way Austin really wants Vanessa F2, but he wants her to get him as far as she can. So at what point does he think he cuts her?

No way Steve wants Vanessa F2, but he knows that he can't side with Austin and the twins yet. But at what point does he think he cuts her?

No way JMac wants Vanessa F2, but at what point does he cut her?

The twins. Sigh. They want to sit by JMac F2 (according to tonight's conversation) but somehow I don't think they're going to get to pick.

Vanessa has so many irons in the fire that she's making everyone suspicious. But she's got them all thinking hard for sure. Who does she really want to be with going forward? Maybe whoever wins next and can keep her safe. (Although the conversations with Austin tonight wear me out. She knows for sure. Her gut is telling her. It's a fact. Gracious.)

JMac is still the JMac that I thought he was from the beginning. He's smart. He's a bit socially awkward. He's pretty honest and blunt. But he keeps most of his thoughts really quiet and that makes it harder for him in the game (and harder for us to know what he's thinking). I believe he's willing now to do whatever it takes, even to the point of being cutthroat. He, Steve, Austin and Vanessa are all playing the same game: Tell everyone that you've working with them. His problem is that Vanessa beat him to this particular group of people, so he's at a disadvantage with Austwins (even though he has Steve).

Is there anything that can happen this week to trigger a shift that causes JMac to gain Austin and the remaining twin's trust? Probably not, but it will be interesting to see.


Good night, friends! Fun feeds tonight for sure

I think Jmac needs either Julia or Vanessa at F2, if he wants a shot to win. He may think Steve is easy to beat, but with Shelli a split vote potentially, Austin and Vanessa advocating for him with the twins, and with James/Meg, he probably loses to him. To overcome being evicted, he has to bring either the hated (Vanessa) or the weak (Julia). JMO.

I think, right now, Austin wins in F2 against anyone. He obviously wants Liz with him, if he can do it. The easy 3rd is probably Jmac, since he was evicted, and was not viewed as actively playing in the beginning.

I think Steve really wants Vanessa/Jmac as final 2, and believes Jmac pulls him to F2, and Vanessa will pull him to F2.

Jmac wants Vanessa out, I think, next round if he is HoH or F4, if he is PoV holder, to claim the scalp, and overcome his eviction problem. I just don't think that is actually his best move, especially if Julia goes out this round. That puts Vanessa, in a non-house environment with the jury for a week, advocating for anyone but Jmac. I know you think she has no influence, but she does have influence with Shelli, and James (both from things he said, in the house, and post show), and she will remind Austin of the promise F&G made to each other, if one of them made it to the end.

I think, trust is not the issue here. Other than the twins, Steve, Jmac, Austin and Vanessa have a pretty clear handle on their self interest. It is what will make the end game so fascinating for me. Not just how they make decisions, but the factors they are weighing, as to where their self interest is. But, none of them are going to make a decision based on liking someone or trusting someone else.

All the above is unknowable, and JMO.

Please Take A Moment To Read This ...





You guys see me asking for support of BBU throughout the season. It's not an easy thing to ask for, I do it because I want this website to continue to be the place that it is for everyone.

Whether your post count grows each day or you even have a post count at all. Whether you are one of our wonderful, couldn't do without you donators or someone who loves the website and just isn't able to donate anything right now, we want ALL of you to enjoy this website not only this season... but for as many seasons as this show continues to be on the air.

Those of you who have been with us throughout the years already know what I'm about to say... but since we have a lot of new members and a LOT of new lurkers/guests ... I'm just going to take a moment to give some background on this website....

We ( the moderators, Rob and I ) all volunteer our time here at BBU, to make sure that everyone has a place to come and talk about Big Brother.
We are not funded by a company, we do not have deep pockets, we struggle to make it through season after season. We do not require you to make a donation, to be member of the website, we do not exclude anyone from anything... and that's because we above anyone else, understand that it's not possible for some people to make a donation.

We do not treat anyone differently, whether they make a donation or not. The website is available to everyone to post on, read, lurk, whatever makes them comfortable.

We do not put up the pop up ads that slow your computer down or make you jump through hoops, just to read at BBU.

The Moderators and Rob work tremendously hard to ensure that everyone's time at BBU, is a pleasant one - and again - they volunteer their time ... without reservation ... because they are devoted to the BBU members. We offer our devotion hour after hour, day after day, month after month to bring all the updates to those who can't afford to watch the live feeds - due to money and/or time constrictions.


So, that's why you'll see us ( me most of the time ) making posts like this one, asking for any support that you can give.

The bulk of the traffic at BBU, is during the 3 months of Big Brother, but as a website, we remain up and running for the entire 12 months each year. So, the expense of keeping the website up and running, doesn't end when the Big Brother season ends.

We offer discussions on Survivor and other reality shows, but it's Big Brother that the majority of members wish to talk about - which leads to us having to remind members - that we need support to help keep the website going- since the traffic is there during that time - that's when we try to remind people that we do need the support to make it through to another season.

Last season, we fell very short and through our own pockets, and a handful of members who did step up and make donations, we were able to keep things up and running, but barely. The expense of the new website has added to what it takes to keep things going and so ... as much as I don't like doing it...

Here I am again ... asking for any support you can give to help for this month and the month ahead.

Thanks for your time : )
