He's already tied 'BB' legend Janelle Pierzina's 16-year-old Veto record with five Veto wins. Of the seven remaining Houseguests, they've won a total of 17 competitions. The problem for everyone else is that he's clearly capable of doing it. Also, it's totally obvious to everyone (including Michael) that he basically has to win out the rest of the season if he wants to make it to the finale. Turner tried to back his way out from under the tires, but Michael wasn't buying what he was selling. Terrance's intention was to tell Michael he didn't like the way he weaponized Kyle and that he would taint the Jury against his dirty gameplay. Turner's intention was to hit up Michael before Terrance could get to him, but he wasn't fast enough. Turner is among the best competitors there, and definitely seen as more of a comp threat than Terrance. After all, Michael can't play in the HOH comp next week, making him more vulnerable than usual. And that Michael readily admits it would be the smartest move.

It certainly doesn't help that Brittany is campaigning hard to Michael that he should go back on his word and put up Turner. Terrance is already on the Block, and Turner knows he's a pretty tempting backdoor offer, despite Michael's promise. With him secure in power, both Turner and Terrance realized that their best move was to throw the other under the bus.

Whlie there are those in the House pretty irked that he and Brittany played dirty with an issue as serious as race, when it comes to Michael, they have much bigger fish to fry. But he also promised Turner that if he put Kyle on the Block so he could be evicted over his racist assumptions, Michael wouldn't target him this week if he gained power.Īs dirty as Michael played it, waiting until it was advantageous for his game to throw Kyle under the bus, he doesn't want to punish Turner for doing the wrong thing - or maybe it's that he doesn't want his game tainted by such an overtly dirty move. Terrance is justified in being frustrated, because he is taking the fall for Turner on this one, and Michael is pretty sure he knows exactly what was being planned before he won Veto last week. That's because there's no reason Terrance wouldn't throw him under the bus for the backdoor plan to evict Michael last week (thwarted because he can't lose competitions). With Terrance on the Block and Michael Head of Household, Turner quickly picked up the fact that his game was likely in jeopardy. It can expose our weaknesses and our flaws, but it can also expose our beautiful diversity, if we're just willing to open our hearts and minds and learn.ĪGT 5th Judge: 11 Finalists Revealed Including America's Wild Card - Who Gets Second Chance? At its best, 'Big Brother' is a microcosm of society.

It wasn't a dominant conversation on the night, as he opened up about his experiences with Monte and Taylor, but it was an impactful one.

Binary representation just doesn't cover enough. The power of representation is that he'd have loved to see more bisexual people and characters on television to help him understand that what he was feeling was perfectly normal. That meant that for Turner growing up, he felt like he had to make a choice to either like girls or like boys. Representation has been on the rise for gay people in media, but Turner knew pretty early on that he was bisexual - and that kind of representation is still hard to come by.Įven within the gay community, society is so indoctrinated into this binary notion of sexuality that when you ask people to accept that some people are attracted to the same sex, they can only see it as an either/or (and they're definitely not ready for gender diversity). There are definitely some parallels to their respective sexualities and the visibility of their games.
