Michael would have played the same game. Even with him and Brittany both safe this week he decided to destroy Kyle. He'd have destroyed Kyle also if they weren't safe. It's a style of gameplay I just can't endorse. Vote someone out because they're in your way. Don't destroy someone to get them out. Michael was upset that Kyle spilled the beans about the Leftovers. This was his way of striking back. It was tacky. At least in my opinion. He's now reformed the Leftovers around the Kyle hatred and they're to be the final five. Ugh!

As poorly as Daniel and Nicole treated Taylor at least she could defend herself. What Michael ( who I wanted to win) and Brittany have done to Kyle (who I am not really a fan of) is the very worst of what went down this season. But BB really opened the door when the Cookout was considered just game play. BB also set all this in motion from the beginning of not having a diverse cast starting from day one.

I really like Monte as a person but haven't seen gameplay that screams winner.

Michael and Brittany appear to have achieved their goal of destroying Kyle. He's due to be put up as the replacement nominee later today when Michael uses his POV. We don't know a lot of what happened later in the day as the feeds were down more than they were up.

Michael, Alyssa, and Taylor got to see their movie yesterday. Then after the movie, Michael and Brittany were in one of the bedrooms when Kyle reentered the house and went back to talk to them. We don't know what happened as the live feeds stayed on the people in the kitchen, then went off again for a bit. Brittany was crying in the backyard a bit later when the feeds were briefly back up. There may have been a house meeting. There may have been a confrontation between Kyle and Michael/Brittany. We don't know. We may or may not find out on Wednesday's show.

At this point, it is certain that Michael will use his POV on Brittany later today and that Kyle will be put up to replace Brittany and the whole house is now in line to vote out Kyle on Thursday. And following that the house will then target Alyssa and Terrance so that only the remaining Leftovers are in the game. (Or so the plan is for now.)

I really hate this style of gameplay. The personal attacks and attempts to destroy someone rather than just beat them in the game annoys me and has every season. You don't have to do that. Michael and Brittany definitely didn't have to do it. They were safe this week. It's unnecessary, unfair, cruel, and just incredibly tacky. I'd been a Michael supporter since the cast was announced, but no longer. He'd played a great game up to this point but destroying someone in the game is just wrong. It's been wrong whenever it's been done, and I've voiced my displeasure at it every time it's been done. Want to lose me as a fan and supporter? Do what Michael and others in the past have done and attack another houseguest in this manner.

You don't have to play the game this way. When people choose to play the game in this manner it tells me a lot more about them than the people they target. It's dirty, unnecessary, and just cruel. You don't need to resort to this level of gameplay. When you're willing to do anything to win, you don't deserve to win. Play fair. That's all I ask of anyone. To me, this wasn't fair. This went beyond the game. I will now celebrate when/if Michael and Brittany get evicted. Should one of them win, and there's a good chance Michael will, I will not celebrate. He lost me as a fan.

Michael has to get Kyle out this week but doesn't want the blood on his hands just like he told Terrance to take out Joe, blood on Terrance's hands.  If Michael doesn't get Kyle on the block then Taylor goes home and he's going to say and do whatever it takes.

@gardenman  or anybody else who watches the feeds, does Kyle know what he is accused of saying?  Has he defended himself and given his side of the story with what he actually said and they are choosing to not believe him?  I understand the feeds were down for a long time.  Hopefully he did and if they are going to air any of this other stuff on the show they will air his side of the story, too.

Alyssa told him what was being said and he was so upset he wanted to quit. The DR convinced him not to quit. Pretty much everything after that was blocked. We'll learn more on Wednesday's show.

Turner is putting up Kyle as the replacement. Terrance is trying to recruit Alyssa and Turner as a threesome to take on Michael, Brittany, Taylor, and Monte.  Not necessarily an evenly matched fight unless Alyssa and Terrance have been holding back a lot. And I don't think they have been. The Leftovers had pretty much decided to take out Terrance and Alyssa next, so one of those two really needs to win HOH on Thursday.

[gardenman]

Interesting. We missed a house meeting yesterday. In the house meeting Terrance reportedly accused Michael and Brittany of being no better than Kyle, and Monte apparently agreed. It sounds like the adults (Terrance and Monte) tried to settle things down and keep things in perspective. That's smart.

Big Brother needs to do something about this,it is unfair they need to be penalized take his veto power away,hopefully kyle told everyone he didn't do what they said he did. They need to confront them get it out in the open. also why does Taylor get a pass from what she said? She won't pick a black woman to go up. Is it only white people can be racists? sure seems like she got a pass,what if kyle had said I won't put a white guy up,wow the house would have exploded. Turner should know better and talk to Kyle ,there must be more to this,every year I get more fed up with this show and survivor.Tucka.
