Power of “Vito” and his co-host Chris Stanley put it perfectly when they said this was another “medicore” week in the Big Brother house. With Jess and Cody gone, Paul is going full steam ahead with his minions and it looks like there is no stopping him. Last week “Power of” Vito did give Paul credit for playing a good game and choosing not to discredit the vet with the advantages he was given this year. This comes up on this week’s episode where the guys discuss if at this point fans should just accept the interference of production and judge players based on how they use that to their advantage. Jess was most likely given an advantage by production with her halting hex, did she use is the best way she possibly could or waste it? Tweet as @BigBrothersPod what you think. “Power of” Vito also got into an interesting debate with Chris Stanley, the two did not see eye to eye at all. The topic was, should houseguests be made aware of the final vote counts for each eviction, or would gameplay be better because houseguests be more inclined to take bigger risks if the numbers did not come back to bit them in the ass. The biggest even of this week in the Big Brother house? The return of Zingbot, a Big Brother tradition that houseguests and viewers look forward to. This year Zingbot came in especially mean though, called Raven ugly, called Josh fat, called Alex a whore and brought up houseguests having sex (or trying to have sex) in the house, The guys really picked a fight with Alex and Jason and have issues with the way Alex is playing the game. “Power of” Vito and Chris Stanley both feel like she thinks she is playing a much better game than she is. The guys also go into Christmas saying she had two “major targets” on the block with Mark and Matt and they also went through a list from Entertainment Weekly ranking the all of the Big Brother winners based on a fan poll.

This week was another exciting week of Big Brother live feeds. Your hosts “Power of” Vito and Chris Stanley are here to guide you through it. This week in the house, Head of Household Josh put up Elena and Mark and since Jess list the temptation challenge she was put on the bock as a third nominee. Cody won the temptation challenge and was safe. With Jess, Mark and Elena on the block it seemed like an obvious choice to go after Jess, but Josh started the week off telling everyone his real target is Elena. The house did not agree with him and Paul especially didn’t think it was a good idea and was adamant about taking out Jess over Elena. When it came time for the Power of Veto competition (which was the return of the yearly OTEV comp, this time, OTEV took the form of a possessed pig), Cody was chosen to play but Christmas used her “Ring of Replacement” power from a few weeks ago to replace him in the competition. Mark ended up winning the Power of Veto competition and (obviously) took himself off the block at the Power of Veto meeting. Raven was chosen as the replacement nominee as a pawn. Josh still wanted Elena out and was trying to talk to Jess but instead got into multiple arguments with Jess and Cody. One argument with the two lead to Jess and Cody fat shaming Josh and calling him a bunch of names while he banged pots and pans and sung until Cody charged him and it seemed like it could come to blows. The Big Brothers talked about all of this, they get into some questions from the Big Brother Reddit community, discussed the gameplay and strategy of players like Kevin and Matt and gave predictions for who the best people to bring to Final 2 would be. If you have any Big Brother questions you would like to ask the Big Brothers, tweet them @BigBrothersPod or @VitoCalise !
Today’s TradeWaiters covers "Shadoweyes" by Sophie Campbell.

We test the limits of what counts as a superhero comic, discuss the “slow burn friendship drama,” remember the nineties, and talk about the shady, short past of some defunct publishers. Music by Sleuth. Our next episode will be on volumes one and two of "Scott Pilgrim" by Bryan Lee O’Malley
