Well Gomer was not who was I thinking about, but Forrest Gump is.

Tat, Devin! Now if they can jettison Zach the season has a chance to be fun to watch.

I don’t mind Zach.

Jocasta and Caleb are the ones I want gone.

And Amanda from last year was a bully too.

I got a crush on Nicole.

Somehow Zach has become someone I like. And I am not minding Jocasta yet either. Victoria has been such a non-entity I forgot she was even there.

It’s like they just told everyone to be as obnoxious as possible in their original interview and then once the actual game started all that went away.

Caleb is really getting into the creepy harassing stalker mode.

It’s been a number of season of BB since they had the feature of grading or ranking the remaining houseguests in terms of viewer preferences. I couldn’t even find the last season when that gimmick was used as a promotional device.

No matter! Let’s do our own!

Rank this list high-to-low based on who you want to stay the longest – win!

====================

Amber  
Brittany  
Caleb  
Christine  
Cody  
Derrick  
Donny  
Frankie  
Hayden  
Jocasta  
Nicole  
Victoria  
Zach

====================

Put names with faces at [Big Brother Cast for Season 24](http://www.cbs.com/shows/big_brother/cast/)

I’m curious what you have against Donny.

I thought most people considered him to be a fairly honorable HG and would like to see him finish well. You don’t like him?

I want Donny to win, and Zach to be the next to go. That why I said:

Oops. My mistake. Thanks for explaining.

By the way, I feel the same way about Donny.

Donny may be the closest to a Fan Favorite since Rupert on _Survivor_. I keep waiting for him to spring something on us. 🙂

Does Jocasta have Tourettes?

Ladies, if you want men to go on the block, its time for you to win HOH.

Maybe she was speaking in tongues?

It would have worked to actually have given Joey’s girlpower alliance a chance when you HAD a chance, too.

Speaking in tongues is exactly what I should have said.

Thanks.

From reading the spoilers, tonights veto competition and results might be POINT and LAUGH worthy.

Is anyone else watching BB After Dark? This is the first season that I’ve been watching them and they’re pretty cool because you get in on some of the production aspects, even though they’re not supposed to discuss production. You also get to hear players whispering strategy and see funny things that happen that they don’t reveal on the show. I record them every night so I can FF through the commercials.

Yeah, it’s interesting to see things they don’t show on the broadcasts. BB AD is basically like a TV version of watching the live feeds - mostly boring, mostly people just sitting around bullshitting, but some occasional interesting stuff. It’s kind of frustrating when they switch to another room or go to commercial in the middle of a sentence, though. If you have the live feeds, it’s basically the same thing except they have four cameras from you to choose from so you can switch between them on the feeds.

Did you see last night’s episode? Frankie’s grandfather passed away the day before yesterday and he just found yesterday. For about 30 minutes, he was alone in the HOH room where he read the letter from his family aloud and then talked about his grandfather and family to the camera for a while - just about his life, what he meant to him, and stuff like that. It was really moving and made me like Frankie more as a person.
