So far we’ve been able to agree on a lot of things… We’ll have to see how things go in the future.

You're a softy on the inside. If only I could go back and tell my younger self you'd one day not wish for me to play in traffic.

Come off it Kingy. You are a big toasted marshmellow. Bit burnt and hard on the outside but gooey on the inside.
Respect and honesty are universal concepts.

The eviction cycle doesn’t help nor does the insane amount of HM’s each series has. Had they gone with a BBUS/BBCAN style where a week plays out over 3 episodes and 14 to 16 HM’s they’d have more than enough time to tell a better and more inclusive story. BBAU has roughly 100 additional hours in a series over BBUS/BBCAN and yet they tell a much weaker story overall.

What I also find irritating is that the show is so transparent in it's desire to only tell stories that actually reach a conclusion. And what I mean by that is they don't show any minor storylines within the season or don't include any housemates thoughts on potentially flipping or wanting to consider other options. If a story doesn't lead anywhere they don't bother to show it. And whilst on paper it makes sense to only tell the story that unfolds in completion, I find the when the little extra pieces are missing (even if they go no where) the storyline feels incomplete overall. The fun of the US version is that a storyline early on in the series may lead to no where at all later on, but because of the live nature of the show it is possibly shown anyway.

"
The influencer is the first to admit that she did too many favours for her ex, Drew, and jokes that she acted like a “loyal Labrador puppy”.
The star helped Drew out of a tight spot multiple times, saving his new girlfriend Sam Monovoski and even Drew himself, but this was the first episode that Tully had asked for anything in return.
“I was like, ‘Look, get rid of me, that’s fine. Come for me at a later date but please let me get to the top 10. Like bare minimum, I’ve done you that many favours’,” she recalls.
In the end, Drew even convinced Reggie to vote for him so she wouldn’t have to vote Tully or Johnson out, which was a strategic move on his part. Drew knew that Tully needed six votes on Johnson if she was going to stay, and she acknowledges that he “stabbed [her] in the back.”
One of Tully’s goals was to outlast Drew, and while he’s still in the Big Brother house, she believes she still achieved it.
“Let’s be real. I did get him out first, like technically I saw him go. We waved goodbye, he was gone for three days and those three days were heaven,” she laughs.
“I still accomplished what I wanted to accomplish.”"

So, in essence, "dont vote me out cos I want to beat you"
And what's wrong with that? She is right that she did him too many favours and if she didn't he would be long gone.

Nothing at all. Except if you make an impassioned plea about love and friendship on the outside simply to jettison the love and friendship on the outside at the next available opportunity.

No argument there Meg. A dick is a dick is a dick. Tho I best be careful saying that on this forum where much better qualified minds would find that ridiculous and uninformed.
Its just funny to me that that both Drool and Tully were shady in emotional pleas to each other. Yet the verdict here seems to be Drew villain, Tully sanctified for some strange rationale. Its a game. I dont blame either. I just think if you enter as say 15 or so individuals, you play as such and develop relationships/alliances within the particular season.as circumstances dictate. Relying on outside connections cheapens it.
Put me in with 3 of my mates and even I might win.
Welcome Tarasi @DumbDumbTerry !!
I love it when HMs come here to chat and I’m a bit sad that it doesn’t happen more often. Love that you know enough about us to prep Kingston before coming on haha. I do kinda wish you came before that episode as it could be interpreted as a PR campaign to repair a slightly tarnished image,
Not that I think anything less of you after, but it was interesting to see how the tide turned against you. I think it’s a bit sad because it’s probably coming from an emotional place. Tully had a real redemption arc this season. She is BBAU infamous and I would argue has become beloved now.
The reason I found this most interesting is because I’ve wondered how much people felt afraid to make a move against Reggie due to how that would be perceived by the public. Like it’s insane that she wasn’t evicted early. I would have thought early would be the best bet as there’s a chance the public would forget / forgive you by the end. Or was that just untouchable? Or are there other reasons no one moved against Reggie?
I go on a a bit of a roller coaster with some housemates but a few eps ago I said I thought it I wanted you to win if not Reggie this season and even after this last episode I’m still there.
I liked you since watching your intro package. You wanted to play this game strategically and that’s what I personally want to see in this format. Then you’ve been a fascinating player to watch, I think you’ve had a good mix of ‘heart and head’ to borrow the phrases from this season. You seem like a bit of a goofball also, fun to live with. I really like Tim but think it would be chaos to live with him in this game and would have me constantly paranoid haha. Whereas I think you would legitimately be a fun guy to hang around.
Coming to this last episode. It must be frustrating to feel like there is more to the story that we (the viewers) don’t know and to have the result of one episode literally turn the tide against you. I’ve got little time for RTV contestants coming out and whinging about being portrayed as a villain and claiming to be an angel however. Regardless of whatever else happened or your supposed target, your actions resulted in a beloved housemate being evicted. So there’s going to be a bit of fallout.
Personally though, I applaud you for your move. It was a big move. You took your shot and it landed on the target. For me that makes you an excellent player in this format and unlike many others, only made my estimation of you rise while keeping in tension the sadness and disappointment of Tully’s eviction. (I think Zcsund summed it up best when he said that it felt premature in Tullys storyline). This is of course massively swayed by our nostalgia.
Reading between the lines, if your ACTUAL target was Johnson then that would have been pretty epic and you might have even become beloved. Bahaha.
Anyway I think it’s probably a good thing if post Tim/Estelle the reigns are tightened a bit, that was truly distressing to watch. Especially for me who holds Tim in such high regard as a massive game player and entertaining player to watch and Estelle being an absolute queen this season.
Thanks for coming Taras. Hope you stick around!

i thought about this too..! its so annoying with the edits, we don't see the hustle until its too late!
i alwaysssssss think this. it seems like the obvious move to take him out.. but then.. would the producers allow it? probably not
this was toooo good haha so many throw back memories this episode.
its actually so cringe. like.. stop relying on being a super fan esp if u didnt watch the early seasons haha
that do be on #gameplay lol but also he probably doesnt reeeaallyy carrrrreee? take out big players but then not win the public vote because u took out the big players doesn't seem like a big payoff for the risk of the court of public opinon.
TARAS WELCOMEEEE i love how HMs are slowly coming out of the shadowsssss! im sorry you have to hold your tongue on things.. i hope the NDA runs out soon soooo you can get that right of reply!!!
HAHA this got me. "Because I'm Johnson"
Also @DumbDumbTerry your love of Zooper Doopers makes me a fan bahaha. Zooper doopers were regularly talked about here a decade ago. Hahahaha.

Oh the tweets about Estelle being "playing the victim" to Ben Norris Taras?
Unlike some we all saw her treatment in 2012 and she didn't play anything, it exactly was.
And those tweets you have been complicit in liking and supporting them.
You mean those tweets? Want to explain the misrepresentation there?
