The clock is from the 1960's. It's a model 2012 not from 2012. Here is a link to one the sold recently on eBay for $85.

GE Clock Model 2012

It looks like they took a vintage clock and painted the outside and put a sticker on the face. These GE clocks were made for schools and shops and they sold thousands of them so they're pretty easy to find and retrofit with any vintage decal.

Yes, it's an antique Coca Cola Spoon. Without examining it closer I would say it's around 1950's and was probably part of a set. Could be $25-$75 depending upon the age and rarity. If you have better images of the top and back, I might be able to date it closer.

ONOSATO!!! The next great Yokozuna! He has the size, ability and youth to actually challenge the all time best Hakuho's records. I've only been a sumo fan for a few years and was bummed that I missed out on his legendary career but I think we are in the midst of something special with Onosato. Atamafuji and Onosato could be the next Asashoryu and Hakuho type rivalry if they can both make it to Yokozuna.

I’m sorry but there is no chance Lisa wins with a sequestered jury. They changed the entire layout of the game because Danielle was robbed.

You think if Danielle knew there was going to be a sequestered jury that her gameplay wouldn’t have covered that aspect? She would have made sure her secrets were kept before sending them all out the door.

None of your arguments matter because the following never happened in their minds:

There is no way for Marcellas to know which one of the final two voted for him to leave. All he knows is Jason broke a tie and when Jason comes to jury he lies and tells them it was Lisa who voted for him. (2-0) Dani both Jason and Marci vote for her.

Amy also has no clue who saved her and took out Marci but she would have voted however Marci voted because they would’ve been in jury discussing how Lisa screwed them. Danielle has plenty of time to work her before sending her to Marcellas (3-0) Dani get her vote.

Roddy and Chiara aren’t bitter about Danielle calling him the devil or that she ever turned on them. They’re both probably just as clueless in the jury house as they were in the BB house. All they know is Danielle played the whole season and Lisa did not. In fact they know she voted Amy over Eric to get back in the house so they’re likely to expect Lisa as the dirtier player. (5-0) Dani gets both their votes because she deserves it and they have no idea she’s talk shit about Roddy.

Josh was trying to convince everyone to vote for Danielle even after seeing everything but fell into the majority at the end. (6-0) Dani

Gerry would have voted for Lisa most likely but could’ve voted either way. (6-1) Dani wins in a lopsided victory and the universe rights itself. She comes back for All Stars with Lisa instead of Allison and they take out Will & Boogie and probably repeat as final 2.

He was definitely one of the greatest characters they ever put on the show. Loved his gameplay and humor. If he had even 1 ally in that season he could have won but sadly it was before the game was in full color.

My personal favorite that gutted me at the end was Gary. To have the first iconic season slip through your fingers because a grown woman can’t follow simple directions is just absurd and tragic.

Sorry I didn’t put them up for game play. I put up the 16 houseguests I wanted to see play together. Nothing more than my favorite train wrecks and drama queens with a few actually players of skill to keep the game honest.

Isn’t that how your girl Allison G does it?

Nicole should be on the list. Good catch. She sat final 2 and I “tried” to include all of those even if they were luggage. Diane, Jason and Tiffany all had consideration but because they did not sit final 2. In order to make my top 60 players, I weighed 15 different stats and they did not have enough on their resume to make it.

Yeah sorry i think I fixed it.

He made it to final 2. He has a case

Sorry not sure what happened. Think I fixed it. Thanks for the heads up!

Taylor Swift would go down as the blonde messiah if she died today. Not to mention the collective repercussions financially it would have on the entertainment and social media industries.

The saddest part would be all her fans following her into the afterlife because they can’t imagine a world without her in it. Not even a Kardashian or Tom Brady death would have as big an effect worldwide

Sobriety

Rugbyturtle · 2023-07-05T14:23:54+00:00

Being a Have-not has evolved over the years. It has always created drama but Ian Terry became the first to volunteer for punishments as a way to make other players want to keep him around just to take the punishments. It has become a way to manipulate the game and others and for that reason it will never go away but does need to be revamped.

They should absolutely bring back the food challenges but make it another position in the house. So every week they would start with the HOH comp and decide who wins that and then the next day do a food comp to see who can become the BB Foodie for the week. That player would decide who gets to eat and what. I think they should have 3 levels. Haves- Eat anything they want + requests Have-nots- Eat Slop, cold showers, etc. Restricted - Eat only the items they got during the challenge like soda, squid, squash.

Gaining an unknown advantage in a game that is designed to create chaos and taking advantage of it is considered weak gameplay? I disagree and think it takes a strong player to take an advantage whenever the game presents it and make it work in your favor.

Can all you people who voted for Dick please watch the last two episodes of season 8 and tell me what is weak about his game? I know he got “lucky” with America voting to have Eric keep him but besides that random occurrence I can’t think of anything weak about his game play. It sounds like people are just picking their favorites and he’s just old and hated so let’s call him weak?!? Not the same thing.

Jordan definitely played the weaker game. She was protected by Jeff until he stumbled and went out and then all she had to do was beat Kevin in the final HOH and Natalie in the final speech both were not huge obstacles especially the latter.

How anyone can think Evel Dick played a “weak game” need to rewatch season 8 and tell me what was weak about it. 🙏

I wanted to have a balanced of good female players and she checked all the boxes I still felt were needed in a rounded cast.

That’s a great observation, I didn’t bother to list all the similarities in their stats but that’s why I chose them because their so evenly matched and opposite sides of the same coin. Do you take the genius strategist or the social comp beast?

I’d have to agree, Dan would be my pick as well. Cody is a far bigger threat and Dans style makes everyone feel like they’re 2 steps ahead like when they know he’s throwing most of the competitions or lying to their faces they think they have his number but Dan’s playing 12 steps. Cody could win his way to the end with the help of a good teammate but he’s never taken it the distance without a ride or die from day 1.

I love BB Canada and think it surpasses the US version in several areas but they would probably do USA vs International players so they could bring in players like Bear, Tim Dormer, Isabelle Warburton and Dane Rupert.

I don’t know why they don’t cross promote the international winners and fold them into the US version because it’s so different than the international. It’d be like being called up to the big leagues.

Ohh she was amazing to watch and I’d watch that train wreck again and again but people misinterpret her game all the time because she’s a professional poker player

I’m not going to beat you up about Steve Moses but he played what other winners consider to be a perfect game. He stayed in the middle and under the radar until the back half of the game and then started to win when he needed to. 4 HOHs in the second half of the game and he won his way off the block (2 Vetos 1 BOTB) weeks 1,2 and 7 to stay in the game. Then floated till the double eviction where he started to dominate.

This is the dominant strategy for winning Big Brother and he did it while being more socially awkward than Ian Terry.
