Call me crazy but competitions are my least favorite part of big brother and survivor. I get on big brother they are necessary, but I could care less who wins. Give me strategy and social play over someone just winning competitions.

If a player like Chelsea comes along and is dominating competitions AND the social/strategic side of the game then it's just bonus.

My thoughts on Ashley:
Fun character who brought some levity to a Gamebot arse season. She was not a great strategist in the slightest but had great reads and a good social game. Won challenges the two times she needed to most (week 1 veto and final HOH). Fitting that she beat the person who was peer pressured into nominating her week 1 by people who thought she took a two hour shower. I'm happy for her.

Feel no sympathy for Vince. He knew two weeks ago he was going to lose because nobody was going to vote for him except Morgan. He's a sad excuse of a man who has a lot coming to him in the coming days with his personal life.

Morgan played the best game but just didn't win the one time she needed to most. She handled it very well and I could see her on a returned season.

Overall, I didn't enjoy this season. From week 4 on it was a slog for me. I didn't like Mickey, Kat, Rylie or Ava at all. Zae, adrian, will, amy, lauren i was completely indifferent on. Zach and Jimmy going home early I felt hurt the back half of the season along with Rachel's elimination. The blockbuster HAS to end earlier going forward. End it at jury at the latest but really should only be 4-5 weeks. Get rid of elimination twists.

This season is weird because my opinions are already skewed because of knowing who is on season 50.

I’m not trying to white knight for her. I’ve already said I don’t even like her. But when people just say dumb shite I’m going to question it.

Being mad at Keanu for constantly lying and betraying her trust when she genuinely wanted to work with him, does not equal her treating him like shite bc she didn’t get her way. You’re taking his actions out of the equation. And to put her in the same boat as Rylie and Vince is asinine.

You can say people are dumb and doing what she says, but you could also say that about every winner or good player ever. “Oh if these people were just smarter and realized so and so was playing them…” is a universal truth for this game.

Zingbot was last night and the cheatmance was reference and is definitely in Morgan’s head. Apparently she was called Vince’s gf and she’s still pretending there’s nothing to it.

Sorry I meant Kelley not Ashley. Ashley would be the renom, then Kelley and Lauren control who goes home which would likely be Ashley if/when Keanu wins BBB.

The game has become too predictable so introduce the unexpected to keep the players and audience on their toes.

Doing something that makes the game fresh is one thing, but doing something that breaks the game you've established over 25 years is another. It's the same reason Survivor fans were furious in season 41 when they had the "do or die" challenge which could send a player home without a vote if he chose wrong in a game of chance. It's stupid.

It's especially disappointing because she was playing the best game this season. Had she stayed and Lauren still won HOH she likely was going to be on the block anyway but at least she could have given herself a shot.

I'm not even a Rachel fan, I find her arrogance quite annoying and I haven't seen her old seasons. This is just such a shitty twist for anybody to fall victim to.

I also think it's bullshite that not everyone got to compete in the HOH this week.

Someone told Vince's ex-gf that Morgan said she was excited to meet her and she (the gf) said "maybe these hands, but not me". lol

Doesn't matter, Rachel hasn't won jack shite.
