Very interesting.

By the way, I've been meaning to state (the obvious) all season: Natalie Eva Marie sure is gorgeous.

I think she is too.

In that case, it's official!

So sweet.

No problem for first offenses. It's still good in the hood.

The second time though. . .

I think these are tweets that the producers selected for Eva to respond to -- Plus, there isn't any back and forth between Eva and the followers.

No, I haven't seen any back and forth ,but she is replying to some and she also re posted some of the not so nice remarks people said about her and Lolo, and she has this on her Instagram, "natalieevamarie How do you guys think I’m doing so far with regards to my original strategy going into the Big Brother house? What am I doing wrong, and what is your advice for me ?"

It just seems sketchy that they are allowed on social media at all .

I sure don't understand why it's permissible this season, as part of the main point of BB has always been being completely shut off from the outside world, with absolutely no outside contact or interaction.

It would have been nice if, during the season's opening episode, some at least passing mention, by our dear Mrs. Chen-Moonves, had been made about what the deal will be with permissible celebrity social media use during this season.

Btw, hard to believe the season will end just a week from tonight. The time has certainly whizzed by - and the house still seems pretty full, for there being just seven days left to go!

^ This.

Yes, exactly. An explanation would have been nice. She is too busy remembering to constantly remind us , " I'm Julie Chen- Moonves." still proudly claiming that

Who do you think will win?

Tamar is the (for viewers) break-out star of the season, and I've become hooked on watching her, so am hoping she'll win. Of course it's anything goes, and any competition/twist (or special power)/veto/vote could result in unexpected eviction, of anyone, at any time.

I don't think that either Tom or Lolo will win. And, as far as houseguests votes go, probably also Tamar wouldn't be likely to get a majority of votes. So probably actually someone else - perhaps Natalie? - will win.

With this cast of characters along with surprise twists and powers, I don't have any idea who will win. No matter who wins I'd be okay with it. It was an enjoyably dramatic and funny season.

Heck yeah, that's sketchy! It's not sketchy is downright wrong.

The only thing I can think of when I see the IG post is that maybe, they will use one or all of the fans' response as a reward for a challenge. If the celeb wins the challenge, they get to check in and read for 20 seconds as many posts as possible or something like that.
