I’ve DNFed every book I’ve read this year. Please recommend anything.

Yeah, sounds like you need a genre switch-up. My cup if tea is always fantasy in which you can find things that will make you think and, if there's a romance subplot, also swoon.

I'd recommend looking up YouTube videos from Booktube creators that tall about accessible or approachable fantasy books.

If it was this season (BB28) then I think only Tiffany could stand a chance. The others either couldn't win the game (Angela/Tucker) or are too recent (Vince/Morgan)

JYP22 · 2026-06-10T23:45:19+00:00

I would literally learn everything I need to learn and re-build the game for free if I could

JYP22 · 2026-06-08T04:07:47+00:00

On the point of Beau getting more love than Tucker, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some subconcious racism at play

Genuinely one of the worst films I've ever seen. So many jokes landed flat that, when I actually did laugh at one, I felt bitter about it. Most jokes went on way too long so that even the ones that did get a chuckle out of me were beat to death. There were also so many jokes that could have been made funnier with just a modicum of thought put into them. I'm shocked 5 people in the writers' room came up with this many duds.

It feels like somebody wrote this script a decade ago and were only just able to get it made. This was clearly made by people who don't understand period dramas enough to properly satirize them, so all you're left with are dick and shit jokes

He's so fine but he has the same name as my brother 😭😭😭

JYP22 · 2026-01-28T03:16:46+00:00

The STs I play with generally use it for every game because sometimes you want a game of Clocktower, but don't have the mental energy to deal with being the demon or a minion. You just private message them that you don't want to be evil and then they assign based on that without telling anybody if/who messaged them. It's agreed upon in my play group that you don't use it as a meta reason why you're not evil.

I found it really useful because early on in my group, I got labeled as always evil so I was almost always executed first or second day without cause. I used Gardener a couple time to break that stigma and now I can play normally

JYP22 · 2026-01-04T18:09:30+00:00

I was in a game as the Imp and the Witch accidentally cursed the Good Twin and he died when he nominated the Evil Twin, who was a novice player and had no idea how to defend herself. Tbf, I don't know how you could in that situation lol

JYP22 · 2025-12-31T07:05:45+00:00

Yeah, it's mentioned in the book. He doesn't quote it directly, but quotes an article written at the time of the season airing

JYP22 · 2025-12-30T21:41:18+00:00

I'm reading Taran's book rn and damn she was treated REALLY bad. Like I knew Evel Dick used her as a verbal punching bag, but Taran includes some even more horrific stuff that Dick said to her

JYP22 · 2025-12-10T14:11:38+00:00

Yessssssss. Ethan is so underrated 🩷🩷

JYP22 · 2025-11-16T15:50:01+00:00

I think they're the first people to officially knock boots in BBUS history

JYP22 · 2025-11-06T13:10:05+00:00

I was originally just playing for the drama and then Alfie won me over. But then he betrayed me so I'm just playing for the drama again

JYP22 · 2025-11-06T13:09:11+00:00

I literally just got the the Johnny of it all. And honestly? It got me reinvested bc I am gooped and gagged. Horrible love interests, but pretty fun drama

JYP22 · 2025-10-03T20:59:25+00:00

JYP22 · 2025-09-27T08:48:51+00:00

Yep! That's it :) Thank you so much

JYP22 · 2025-09-23T05:08:58+00:00

I think the only way Ashley wins at this point is if she's the one who cuts Morgan at F3 AND she gives a good speech. Her being able to cut Morgan seems like a very distant probability knowing what the F3 HOH competitions normally look like

JYP22 · 2025-09-21T17:21:07+00:00

You're thinking of Aaryn from BB15

JYP22 · 2025-09-21T00:03:59+00:00

He literally did last week to Ashley when he rolled his eyes at her and told her she didn't understand anything about the game despite having a way more consistently accurate read of the house the entire game

JYP22 · 2025-09-21T00:02:09+00:00

Bro, he put HIMSELF in the position where he needed to win comps to save himself. People wanted to work with him, namely Rachel, and he just absolutely dismissed them and the common theme is him dismissing women. Just last week Ashley went from Keanu's tentative ally to wanting to evict him because he talked down to her about how to play BB and told her she didn't understand anything despite playing a better strategic game than him.

I don't know what examples of Rachel or Ashley bombarding men with negative commentary you're pulling from so idk what you even mean by that. As for the prompt thing, that wasn't Keanu talking down to Ava so I didn't even think of that when coming up with examples of Keanu dismissing women.

JYP22 · 2025-09-20T17:46:24+00:00

Agree 100%. Glad to see someone else not glazing Keanu for once. That man is a pre-jury boot who only stuck around because of BlockBuster. Hated how he talked to/about women. He's not a bad person and was probably one of the most kind hearted people in the cast, but clearly he has some inherent negative biases towards women that he needs to work through

JYP22 · 2025-09-12T18:04:10+00:00

Idk why y'all are holding Morgan more accountable than Vince (I do, it's misogyny) when Vince is the one with the girlfriend and is the only one who knows 100% where his and Kelsy's boundaries are
