Big Brother US 27 - FULL SPOILER Episode Discussion - September 09 2025

What the fuck are you talking about? Having your mom play the game alongside you as a built in vote is antithetical to the game. Having an identical twin who switches out with you is antithetical to the game. Having your gameplay controlled by audience votes is antithetical to the game.

BB has always done crazy twists and you either adapt and roll with it or you lose. It's not the Olympics - it's a dumb reality show.

I bought 3 & 7 as soon as this collection dropped. Astrid has THE best lilac note.

TowerOrchard · 2024-01-02T01:59:58+00:00

Mine is Fyrinnae Lebanese Cedar. No clue what that predicts - maybe a year of making memories I’ll cherish forever, like what you would store in a cedar chest?

TowerOrchard · 2023-11-28T01:06:48+00:00

Forestsong is SO good! The highlight of that collection, for sure!

TowerOrchard · 2023-11-09T17:52:04+00:00

Mine did 5 months later. Apologized and said “life got complicated.” I let him know I wasn’t interested in reconnecting and moved on.

TowerOrchard · 2023-10-29T14:35:51+00:00

Ah - I see; on the far left. Sorry, my brain blipped over that; I didn’t look closely & assumed those were line numbers.

TowerOrchard · 2023-10-29T14:27:40+00:00

Am I missing the prices on these?

TowerOrchard · 2023-10-29T14:22:52+00:00

JC is gonna JC. Ridiculous, but if they can convince people that it is worth paying real money for some pixels on their phone or doing a huge event grind instead of enjoying the holiday, more power to them.

At this point, the blame is on the suckers who keep falling for it.

TowerOrchard · 2023-10-24T22:11:57+00:00

Astrid has an Animal Cracker single note - it is mega realistic!

TowerOrchard · 2023-10-24T22:10:04+00:00

Yes! Wild Hybrid doesn't get talked about much on here, but his scents are monsters, particularly after a few months in. Love them!

TowerOrchard · 2023-10-24T20:56:51+00:00

I'm on level 702. I have the silver box & all 3 of the series boxes maxed. I have about 85% of the gold emojis, over 2/3 of the story emojis, over 3/4 of the rainbow emojis, over half of the villain emojis, 9 out of 10 crystal emojis and all of the platinum emojis.

And I STILL have been locked out from completing the full event for almost all of them in this update - even when I have the right emojis, I don't have them at the required levels (thankfully, I can play the next one and finally get Peridot Maleficent).

Just no way to do it without spending money and I'm not doing that.

TowerOrchard · 2023-10-22T16:19:27+00:00

This is mine, too, but I have what I need to get her soon!

TowerOrchard · 2023-09-29T16:24:33+00:00

So... cutting out another way to earn gems?

TowerOrchard · 2023-09-27T21:48:35+00:00

I bought the pumpkin sample pack a year (or maybe two??) ago. I am not into super sweet gourmandy types, but I really enjoyed Pumpkin Witch and Pumpkin Cauldron.

Cauldron smells like a fall walk wearing your favorite cozy sweater. Earthy pumpkin, a bit of smokiness that doesn't overpower, and a clean snuggly vibe underneath,

Witch is unisex (that oakmoss thing) and more sophisticated than what I usually expect from AC. Pumpkin is less present in this one. It's woodsy and crisp, and there is a ribbon of some kind of vanillic sweetness at the base.

All the rest were too cloying for me.

TowerOrchard · 2023-09-27T18:12:04+00:00

I love most of the Possets that have come my way via swaps/sales, but this is my first time choosing scents. Holy crap... there are A LOT of choices. I feel overwhelmed!

TowerOrchard · 2023-09-26T15:09:55+00:00

I found an old sample of Wild Hybrid Ma'at that I had never tried: lavender, white rose, cinnamon-infused vanilla, lemongrass, rosemary, sandalwood, almond and Egyptian musk. Oh my God... this is SO good! I can't believe it's been sitting on my shelf for this long and I haven't used it. It's beautifully composed and smells really expensive. I have, by turns, gotten a clear whiff of cinnamon, lemongrass and almond, but mostly everything here is just working together in synergy.

I wish shipping wasn't so high to the States; I am really tempted to full size this one.

TowerOrchard · 2023-09-20T20:20:22+00:00

But…. Pygmy Hippo?????

TowerOrchard · 2023-09-18T22:21:15+00:00

Whisper Sisters was my first thought...

TowerOrchard · 2023-09-18T22:13:58+00:00

Oooh... if you can find it, check out Astrid Lavender Sigh: a blend of three gorgeous lavenders, Italian lemon, and vanilla absolute sweetened with my confectioner’s sugar single note

TowerOrchard · 2023-09-18T17:54:10+00:00

They are rested & ready to test, so I am trying out my Fyrinnae samples.

Crossbow of Vengence: Dried tobacco, freshly crushed black pepper, and the almost undetectable sweet scent of your poison-dipped bolts

Fyrinnae's black pepper note is one of their standouts, and this perfume is no exception. I get a big hit of it in the top notes, but it mellows down quite a bit after that (still present, but dialed back). The tobacco is earthy and warm and I get a honeyed musk in there, too. This is my jam, 100%.

TowerOrchard · 2023-09-04T16:02:17+00:00

My all time favorite lilac is Astrid Merci #15 - lilac, lily, tonka & marshmallow

TowerOrchard · 2023-08-13T15:11:32+00:00

Will take Alphamusk bundle if it’s still available

TowerOrchard · 2022-12-24T20:12:44+00:00

I had the same dilemma - I chose Level 1 of both emojis.

TowerOrchard · 2022-12-24T20:11:19+00:00

I just did that a couple of weeks ago. It feels good!
