I was hoping someone would steal the Caribbean vacation out from under Kalia. Her sense of entitlement is annoying.

VFF, why are you still using spoiler tags? That stuff was in today's episode.

Not in all time zones if you don't watch the eastern feeds.

I might be missing something here, but since Adam won POV why did he take the POV from Jordan? Im confused on what the veto thing Jordan actually had.

Shelley's husband is less masculine than Shelley is. I'm still not sure if Leatherface is, or was, a man.

Yah, you are missing something! Adam did not win the POV simply by lasting the longest - he won the rights to any of the prizes. He took the POV from Jordan, who had earlier traded the Isolation/phone call for.

Ok since they had a crew filming Shelleys husband and daughter, did this mean they had a crew at every contestants house in case they got the 24 hour? Or was it scripted this way?

CBS has a local affiliate in every major city city

I would guess it only takes 2-3 hours to get a camera to wherever

she was in the room for 24 hours

That was outstanding that Brachel didn't get a chance to play for veto and especially win any prizes.

If Brendon is sent packing tonight, I hope CBS changes the rules of the game going forward. I hate the back door, it just doesn't seem right that your chance to fight for your life in the game is decided by random draw. To me, the 6 player veto competition is a flaw in the game. Why not have everyone play? What's the reason behind it? What good comes from it?

When Nakomis did the six finger plan, which was genius at the time, it opened a can of worms that I think CBS needs to change.

As much as I dislike Brendon, it just seems sorta unfair that some people have two chances to fight for their place in the house per week(HOH and Veto) and some only get one.

Wasn't it because in the past when everyone played in the veto it was rarely ever used and thus rendered irrelevant?

Stop whining like a little baby. CBS did make changes after Nakomis's 6 finger plan. They no longer allowed the HOH and the nominees to pick the other players for veto. Instead they were picked randomly unless they picked HG's choice.

And I can't believe you're saying that Brendon, who has already been evicted, is being treated unfairly.

And before they switched to the Golden Power of Veto, you couldn't even use it to take yourself off the block. Why make yourself a target by using the power on someone else?

I understand the changes they made after Nakomis and I guess I commend them for that. But that still doesn't answer my question. What good comes from having a couple people sit on the bench who are potentially going to be kicked out because they couldn't fight for their lives in the house because their name wasn't pulled out of a little bag. I still don't get why everyone can't play in the challenge. It's a flaw in the game.

Of course Brendon caught a break to get back in the house but that break still has nothing to do with this flaw. If it were Jeff, or Kalia or whoever, I would still have the same opinion.

At the end of the day, it's not like I'm losing sleep over this, so if the tone in my post is coming off as annoyed and angry, I'm not. Just something that I have never liked in terms of the game's integrity.

If I were in the game and I was backdoored like Brendon is about to be, I would be pissed and angry because there's really no good reason to keep people from playing in the challenge.

That was a great speech by Brendon, I had no clue he was doing a PhD.
