Julie's afternoon tweet was surprising - she usually doesn't ridicule them so openly, even when they're easy targets, not unless there's a Penisgate apology video anyway. I suggested at the beginning that they get their hamsters properly trained while they still could, but now they're singing and talking about production all the time, and they're on a first-name basis with Diary staff. Again, the fishies are fantastic this year but the music is still jarring when it cuts in, and still way too loud. PS I wish I knew why they completely omitted the first Caleb/Amber breakup convo. They ran the before and after of that night, but gave no indication the two of them had that lengthy and awkward chat in between, and it was the highlight of that whole storyline.
Won: Nothing yet VTE Brittany Yes she's gorgeous and her stress-cleaning helps with all the mess, but I still don't see what she brings to the table other than the on again/off again crazy Caleb storyline. I've got nothing against her so save the angry cards and letters, but I don't see what makes her Queen Amber either.	Won: $5,000 VTE Brittany He's good comedy in his 'no way this guy can be real' kind of way, but he's a one trick pony and we've taken the ride.
Won: Nothing yet VTE Brittany NOMINATED by Zach - WON BOB Lots of people are hating on her but I still think she's fun and funny, and she's not preachy like I was afraid she might be. However, it was brought up that she's getting all the perks of being in a mongo alliance without doing any of the work, and that's kind of true. It's probably time for her to do some time on the block and in the comp arena.	Won: 24 hrs kicking self No vote (HOH) This guy's a moody one, happily cuddling with Zach & Frankie one minute and ready to blow the next, and that's the kind of stuff that makes for good comedy and good feeds.
Won: $10,000 TEAM AMERICA VTE Brittany They still haven't caught on that he's the smartest guy in the room and only playing like he's on their level. You get the idea he's done this shtick 1,000 times before on the job, and this is a walk in the park for him. People are hating on him too and I don't get that. I always hear fans say they want gamers in there and when one comes along, and a master orchestrator at that, they hate him.. go figure.	Won: $10,000 TEAM AMERICA No vote (nominee) Sweet guy, funny guy, kind and sincere, and he's probably with us for the duration. We keep such different hours, I don't have much more to say about him.
Won: $10,000 TEAM AMERICA VTE Brittany HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD I like him okay when he's just being himself, but that doesn't happen very often. I'm tired of the constant singing that brings the fishies, tired of the characters, and tired of him always having to be in the spotlight.	Won: Nothing yet VTE Brittany He's still flying low under the radar and under their noses, and it seems to still be working for him.
Won: Nothing yet VTE Brittany NOMINATED I'd like more wacky behavior and 'the hell you say' expressions from her and less preaching. I've got nothing against anyone practicing whatever religion they like, but I didn't pay $24 to attend summer Bible camp.	Won: 1 week frog, 1 week Germitard VTE Brittany NOMINATED by Zach - WON BOB She's Public Enemy #2 or #3 lately and it makes no sense to me. I still think she's hilarious, and her retell of her convo with Zach was one of the funniest highlights of a very funny night.
Won: Nothing yet VTE Brittany NOMINATED We need more crow stories and Frank crushes, and a lot less 'poor me' tears and self-victimization.	Won: Germany trip VTE Brittany DEPOSED HOH This guy gave us the funniest post-eviction night that I can remember in a very long time. When the HOH comp outcome left us with the same regime as we've had since the start, most of us were afraid we'd be in for a boring night, but this guy saved the day in every way. Loony, erratic, volatile, and insane are the kind of qualities that make for great feeds. Crazy like a fox or just crazy? I have no idea, and it doesn't matter - it simply works.
Won: 2400 goals EVICTED 10-0 She was the rawest recruit we've had in awhile and she didn't do much homework, which worked against her in a big way. She seemed to have pretty good game instincts and may have done some real damage if she'd been better prepared. She'll be remembered for her high bun as well as the few times her hair escaped it and landed her in Deathrace 2014 hall of fame, and for sticking with and completing that brutal soccer task when she didn't have to.	Won: Nothing He has a daughter.
Won: Nothing I kept hoping for the spitfire she plays on Twitter & Instagram to show up but it didn't until the veto meeting blowup. She was well on her way to being a perma-pawn but she stressed about not being able to win comps, and then Devin happened and out she went. She had a lot of entertainment potential and while we were robbed of most of it by her early exit, we'll always have CALTORU.	TEAM AMERICA FAIL Won: Nothing She blew up her game prematurely and spectacularly, and then her alter ego Alex and his 'big ass balls' sealed the deal. Supposedly she beat someone with 150k Twitter followers (plus 15 million backup) in a public vote, but that went splat just like BB12's saboteur Annie. Joey was lively and personable, a worthy member of the first out club, and she easily leads the pack of hamsters with unnatural hair colors.
