People do that shit all the time, I think its dumb too but whatever. Sam did essentially the same thing when she broke down everyone's socioeconomic status last night and went through who would be deserving of the money.

It'll lower my estimation of anyone who does it. I'm not targeting Rockstar or Scottie so I can validate some bias -- I just can't take that kind of mentality. It's always irked me. I didn't witness Sam doing it so I can't make the call, but if she did, that's disappointing.

I won't brush it off though.

Why would I want to watch a group of chill friends dominate though? Angela is obnoxiously boring, Kaycee is boring, Brett is a douche, Rachel is boring. It's pretty much Tyler (who is far too in-control at the moment, which is annoying to watch live), and Winston's paranoia that are worth watching from L6. I just enjoy watching the Fouttes far more at the moment as dynamic personalities.

With the bros on the block, it's not quite so chill in the house the last few days.

I've never said I want L6 to dominate! I'm saying I can't stand Rockstar/Scottie at the moment. I'm still glad Scottie became HoH and upset the status quo.

And for the record, I agree. Angela is boring. Kaycee & Rachel are better, they're nice people. Brett being a douche doesn't mean anything to me when he's not actually DOING anything disgusting. The only part of him I've questioned is his handling of Rachel - sometimes she's awkward with him and I think, based on her reactions, he mismanages her. She's just wanted a massage, damnit.

Here's the thing: the FOUTTE's AREN'T any more dynamic when you watch these people for hours every day. The glory of the live feeds: everyone becomes a dynamic personality. Hence why I've said earlier: non-feeders are at the mercy of the episode. I don't BLAME you for finding FOUTTE more interesting.

But then I list moments like those from earlier - RS & Scottie being obnoxious in a bad way - and these are reasons why I DON'T root for them on a personal level, dynamic personalities be damned.

I hope you enjoyed my caps.

CAUSE SHE FLEXES IN HER INTRO?!?!?! lol
---

Also, Kaycee is playing an amazing floating under the radar game. I just hope it is on purpose and not by accident lol
---

Scottie and Rockstar were talking last night about how Kaycee is really cool but she's "totally in the dark about the game".

Of course, she isn't, and it's really just them who are, but I hope she's able to shake that perception down the line.

On the Survivor NZ side of things, is the yellow tribe called Khangkhaw or Khang Khaw? There's a bit of a debate going on about that.
---

what's the difference

I know on the flag it shows up as two words, but when people are doing confessionals they have it as 1, so I'd go with that.

What do you think of the season thus far?
---

As a non-Kiwi, I don't believe I can pass judgment on their seasons.
---

As a non-Aussie, I can tell everyone that S2 of Survivor AUS is fantastic and worth watching.
---

As is S6 of Survivor SA.

S2 of Survivor HZ has its moments and been slow at times, but overall I've enjoyed the season.

That's the one that aired last year, IIRC?
---

FUCK these two douches. Acting like there isn't an alliance and Scottie drew the line.
---

YES!

And Brett is a Have Not for nothing!
---

This is amazing.
---

Scottie please don't buy this bullshit.
---

YES!

caps
---

I actually enjoy Winston, knowing that he's an abrasive asshole. Brett is the kind of asshole who's able to keep it calm and under wraps, which isn't fun.
---

Winston is almost certainly the one going home, so I might be able to appreciate him as an early boot villain if that's the case.
---

Okay this has been bugging me all season so far - does anyone else think Rachel looks like someone? And I can't put my finger on who, but she's a dead-ringer for someone, I know it.
---

Famke Janssen?

So in the opening big brother video she does the same exact pose as Jessica.

I hate L6 controlling the vote time and time again.

Newsflash Kaitlyn, you don't have a boyfriend.

Me too. I don't hate Tyler, but I do hate just how much control he has over the whole house.
---

Brett is such a massive tool.
---

Brett is fantastic.
---

Brett is the worst
---

You guys are such fun sponges.
---

Brett isn't fun. He's generically douchey.
---

God damnit
---

Rockstar is SO much better than Brett, it's not even funny.
---

SO GOOD.

Ahhh
---

There's nothing fun or good about Brett. He's a generic douche and now just wants people to suffer.

Brett is both fantastic and the worst

"Love you bean" poor kaitlyn
---

All right, Ill check out. Not much to discuss here. This season sucks! Cant wait to bring the mood down next episode!
---

The season is actually not bad. There's just a few people that are either obnoxiously boring or outright awful and they are all in tthe dominant alliance.
---

Oh hey peridiam i am halfway through your new video

What significance does being in the veto comp keep it from being a backdoor? Is there any reason why it cant include those people?
---

Yeah. The season is good. I just hate how the same alliance has controlled the vote for three weeks and said alliance consists of the biggest duds in the house.
---

Im loving the season, not as much as bbcan6 but its been really fun
---

Also, I'm hoping L6 wins HoH tonight so that one of them can't play in the HoH next week when Sam's power inevitably brings one of Foutte back.
---

But they nominate bayleigh so she uses her power and sams power saves l6
---

Bayleigh has to use her power pre-noms.
---

Can still happen if she knows theyre targeting her

The point of the original BB5 backdoor was to completely prevent a player from being able to save themselves. It was easy to pull off in 5&6.

Now with the random draw it just means if theyve played in the veto then they had the chance to save themselves, which isnt what the backdoor outlined.
