Big Brother 24

[One]

It'll be interesting to see how all of these wired personality types get around one another in the coming weeks, specifically Paloma, Pooch, and to a lesser extent Ameerah.

Last night Paloma went on this weird train of thought with person to person, going on about how she's hacked the game, and the check is going to her, and she'll invest in their businesses. Openly telling Daniel that everyone in the game comes to her, and she knows everything that's going on. It might be charming for some right now, but it could easily become an issue for her game later.

Monte is already skeptical of Pooch and his similar 1000 miles-a-minute talking and the uncertainty that goes with him. Ameerah, by comparison looks tame, but she's had plenty similar moments so far in the game.

The fact that many of the most active players right now aren't super familiar with the game, it'll also be interesting to see what happens if they get tripped up as Big Brother throws these unexpected twists at them.

 

[One]

The most interesting individual games as of right now (some for being unhinged, others for how they're developing)

In no particular order:
Paloma, Pooch, Ameerah, Turner, Kyle, Joseph, Michael

There's also Taylor but, save for a good twist, I'm at the point where I'm hoping she can come back into the real world where she won't have to deal with the nonsense going on in the house anymore.

Monte's game could also be interesting, but I'm not sure anymore about his level of awareness when it comes to strategy. There seems to be a ceiling on his gameplay. I can still see him getting far in the game, given his alliances, but strategy-wise I can see others moving him around the board, and personality-wise, there's not much there. Right now, what's more interesting with him is how he contributes to the games of one of the other people named. All that can change after comps though.

 

[One]

Ameerah, Terrance, and Jasmine are in the restroom area talking about the HOH competition coming up this week. Jasmine tells Ameerah that she doesn't think she should go for HOH, she's good.

Turner walks in and they switch the topic.

[Turner does a lot of this. I can't say if it was intentinoal here, but very subtly, he regularly finds his way into all areas of the house, interrupting gatherings, getting between people, standing in on conversations, etc]

 

[One]

Feeds return and Paloma is encouraging Taylor

 

[One]

Taylor cries in the open room with Paloma and Alyssa.

Daniel is in the restroom area with Joseph, Kyle, and Indy saying that her reaction tells him what he thought is exactly what happened.

[All week they talked about her "blowing up" after being nominated, and none of that happened. She couldn't win.]

 

[One]

Monte and Joseph talk and float the possibility that Paloma may not be trustworthy.

Originally he wanted to talk with Paloma and Taylor simultaneously, but Paloma ran to talk to Taylor herself.

Monte brings up that Paloma has been a mile a minute lately, and she can't give a straight answer.

Joseph suggests that when talking to Paloma, Monte should have a witness so that she can't just lie to him and have it stay between the two of them.

 

[One]

Ameerah is talking to Taylor upstairs, with Brittany.

Taylor says she wanted to play with the girls first thing, as soon as she came into the game.

Ameerah says she wishes Taylor had come to them earlier. There are girls girls and guy's girls, and she thought Taylor was a guy's girl.

Taylor says she was trying to make the guys feel like that and then come work with the girls.


Ameerah asks her if she told Monte that Paloma was coming after him.

Taylor says no, she told Monte to talk to the girls, because all the guys were up here the girls might feel that they're going for the girls. And since Paloma talks the most, he should talk to Paloma specifically, and make sure she knows that they're not gunning for them.

She didn't tell Monte that Paloma's coming for him.

 

[One]

The guys continue to discuss the possibility of Taylor staying, since they don't know what the backstage passes entail.

 

[One]

Monte says he'll go with Michael to talk to Paloma, and maybe talk to Taylor for a little bit to console her and keep it at that

He doesn't want it to be known that he was responsible for Taylor being the renom

Joseph suggests talking to Jasmine and making sure that they're keeping this on wraps too

Monte talks about Daniel's concerns with the racial aspect of things

Joseph says that Taylor was the one who brought that up. She told someone that she hopes Daniel doesn't put two black people on the block. He says she did it so that it would get into Daniel's head

[She said it to Ameerah and Ameerah told other people. It wasn't a sinister plan to get that to Daniel]

Monte says now he doesn't want to talk to Taylor. To use that...

 

[One]

Pooch and Joseph discuss next week's noms.

Pooch suggests Indy, but Joseph isn't going for it.

Pooch starts talking about Ameerah and Joseph says tells him she's smart.

Pooch talks about Ameerah talking about the two black people on the block thing, and that it's not about that.

They repeat that she's very smart.

 

[One]

Monte tells Jasmine that he's getting this feeling that Paloma's not being straight.

Jasmine says she's getting a read out on Paloma.

She asks him if he was HOH, who would be off limits for him.

Daniel interrupts.

 

[One]

Pooch and Joseph are discussing Paloma now, and her recent erratic behavior.

Pooch says Alyssa listens more.

Joseph says that's an alliance, Alyssa and Paloma.

Pooch says if Ameerah stays for more than three weeks, they're f***ed. She can almost force Indy to target the guys. Indy is going to be very easily influenced by someone who's smart like Ameerah.

Joseph says Ameerah's a genius.

 

[One]

Monte says he doesn't want to put Terrance up. Jasmine says no. Obviously they want to pull together when they can. She could never put two black people on the block, or any.

Monte says unless it was a very obvious thing.

Monte says he saw Ameerah talking to Taylor, and he asked her how much does Taylor knows, and Ameerah said she knows everything.

Paloma told her that she told her everything.

Jasmine says Paloma's saying she has issues with speaking to lower her threat.

She tells Monte to be careful how he talks about Paloma to people because these motherf***ers love her.

 

[One]

Paloma tells Daniel that Taylor doesn't know the real reason. She doesn't know about the lie.

Daniel says he's relieved. Paloma realizes that that's what Monte came to her about earlier. No, she didn't tell Taylor the real reason.

The room is Jasmine, Ameerah, Paloma, and Alyssa.

Ameerah tells her that she thought she did tell Taylor everything.

Paloma says she didn't talk about game with Taylor when she was talking to her.

Ameerah tells them about her conversation with Taylor by the bumper pool table. She says Taylor said she wanted to work with the girls. That's how she got into the house is by telling them she wanted to have a girl's alliance. By the time she came to the girls it was too late. She fucked up.

She also tells them that Taylor said she didn't tell Monte that Paloma was coming after him. She told him to go talk to the girls so they don't think they're coming after them.

They all say "ohhhh"

Alyssa floats the idea that she'd be open to saving Taylor if she could vote.

 

[One]

They're talking about Pooch and Turner now.

Paloma says Monte isn't good with them either.

Jasmine says she can't talk game. Every time Turner sees her he comes up on her.

[This is what I was referring to when I said Turner has this tendency to find his way into all kinds of areas in the house, and getting between people]

Paloma talks about her earlier conversation with Turner.

Indy walks in, they ask her how she feels about Pooch and Turner, she says something, and she leaves.

Jasmine says Pooch talked to her about targeting Indy. Paloma says Turner talked to her too.

Paloma says she wants to bring in Nicole and go after Pooch and Turner.

Ameerah says no, Nicole wanted to include Pooch and Turner when she was trying to bring her in.

Paloma says they can convince her.

 

[One]

Terrance talks to Taylor, and says the only thing he can hope for now is that they can both stay and they can send one of the people with the backstage passes out.

He didn't want to be on the block with her.

He says they might have to compete with them. That competition may take place as early as tomorrow. So they have to be prepared.

Taylor asks if he would take himself off the block if he wins the competition. He says he thinks they would have to. Then Daniel would put somebody else up, and then they would have the vote to give.

He says this was the worst scenario. Asks her what she did.

He didn't know the rub the wrong way part.

She says she can understand if her game play was bad, but the piece about hurting somebody or saying something that made someone feel that they weren't valued...

Taylor asks who his target would be next week. He says he doesn't have a person right now, but he's feeling like the person who doesn't give him any energy toward what position he's in right now.

Taylor says what they need are people who are going to tell them the truth.

He says if they treat him like the plague, he's going to remember that.

He says Brittany hasn't spoken a word to him.

They talk about their relationship in the game.

 

[One]

Jasmine and Brittany talk. Brittany says Turner wants Michael gone.

Jasmine says they just came up with a name, "Six in the City"

 

[One]

In the storage room, Brittany tells Michael that the girls love him, and that they want Pooch and Turner. Michael does a spin and says "yes"

 

[One]

Jasmine in storage room tells Pooch that Indy loves him, and says she would put up Terrance and Michael.

 

[One]

Taylor talks to Michael and says she could understand if it was that her game was too good or her game was too bad, or that she was hard to break through to. She could totally understand. But the thing about...

Michael says "rubbing people the wrong way"

She says yeah, that hurt. That cut deep.

She tries to be really mindful of how she uses her words

The rest of their conversation is inaudible as people celebrate about the camera.

Taylor and Jasmine go back and forth with the camera on demonstrations of the rooms.
