How does a former BB player, winner, and podcaster have this take/total misconception of the purpose of the feeds/game? And also not see how contradictory it is to routinely get updates from people who watch the live feeds, but shade people who watch the live feeds?? #BB27

For those of you interested in accessing U.S. Census Bureau data from data.census.gov during the government shutdown, the Census APIs are still working.

Here is an example of how to access the Census API using both #Rstats and #Python

"Food destined for starving people in Sudan, Bangladesh, Gaza, Syria and Myanmar rotted in warehouses. Clinics rationed HIV treatment to control and prevent transmission to newborns in Kenya. Medicine never made it to conflict-ridden Sudan, leaving sick people to die of preventable diseases."

The Rise of โ€˜Accidental Landlordsโ€™

Who/what are "accidental landlords" and how are they disrupting the rental market in the South?

I think I said this last year, but every winner since CBS implemented its DEI/Diversity Rule being a person of color kinda proves that we were all being gaslit for 20 years.....and in many ways still are, with regards to the role and power of diversity. #BB27

I think Vinny's lack of effort--in his appearance, his speech, his tone, and his posture-- has sealed his fate.

It doesn't matter if he played a better game than Ashley and she's kind of rambling, she looks more prepared and eager and deserving.

I think he's just happy with 2nd place $

Crazy, the instructions could be interpreted in 3 ways:

-The day they were evicted

-The final order they were evicted in the game

-The order they were evicted of the 6 options

NO. The Roundtable should have been held on the BB Unlocked set and hosted by Derrick and Taylor. #BB27

True, but real fans know how bad and uninspired Production has been for this show.

However, the last few years have been huge improvements. BB Unlocked was a small step in that direction. I wish they included more fans though. #BB27

Vinny is a good life lesson: You don't really know what you think you know, and you may worry yourself sick over nothing. #BB27

That was a lie. Her saying she just wanted to make jury was truthful, and her entire First Half mentality/goal.

Vinny and Morgan had their eyes on the prize the entire game and took more risks to get it. #BB27

Vinny's right. He needed to win the last 2 final comps or he loses either way.

I want him in F2 b/c he and Morgan have been playing the game since Week 1, while Ashley really just started playing a couple weeks ago when the path for her was clearer.

B4 that she said she was ok w/ just jury.
