    Greetings from Western MA.
    40 year old Gay man in a dating relationship, going on 4 years.
    Interests: Video games, technology, music (most any genre), movies (most anything), reading (most anything), Big Brother, Photography, anything having to do with my iPhone 8+, Dogs, Cats, and positivity.
    Turn-offs: Flakiness, Negativity, Toxicity, Bullying, Racism, Ageism, Shaming, Narcissism, Rudeness, Cattiness.
    I'm a bigger guy so body positivity is a big thing for me.
    I'll tell you straight, and not sugar-coat it. I don't beat around the bush, and don't like to be around people that do so. Mean what you say, do as you say.
    I'll gladly give the shirt off my back, and slowly learning who I should bend that much for.
    I'm always down for a good social gathering, going to Provincetown, or really anywhere that a beach is nearby.
    I work in IT by day, co-own a side business, and am currently trying to launch a hobbyist/artist photography business, and dabble in a bit of writing.
    So that's just a bit about me. HI!!!!

    Hi JYungBear!

    I love Big Brother as well. It's one of my favorite reality game shows!

    Are you watching the Celebrity Edition?

    Oh yes! So far, my faves are Ross Mathews, Omarosa (I may get flak for that, but I believe she has some conviction about her angle with the White House) and Chuck Liddell (I grew a wicked Celeb Crush on him!)

    I can't stand Brandi. She's trash.

    Welcome to EC.
    I love western MA. I live in Medan Indonesia now but 2015-2017 I studied in a univ in Mass.
    Took vacation from South Boston by bus to Western Mass, Berkshire is the best experience I ever had.
    What city do you live in?
    I went to Amherst and around there, North Adam, Springfield, Pittsfield.
    Nice area, I would like to visit again one day.
    Greetings from a very hot country on equator.

    My faves are Ross, Mark, James, and Marissa. I liked Chuck too, but he wasn't in the house long enough to make a firm decision. I actually formed crushes on James and Ari.

    I complety agree about Brandi. She is trash and should have left earlier than she did. Not of fan of Omarosa, but it interesting to hear about her time in the White House (from Clinton's presidency through Trump).

    Who do you think could win from who is left?

    I'm having a strong feeling of Ari on this. And you?
    At first, when I heard of Omarosa and her involvement with the Trump campaign, I was actually on the fence about even watching because of her, but at the same time, hearing what she has said about the behind the scenes, it gives her a more believable angle, and not so much as being one of our enemies.

    I actually lived in Amherst (near Amherst College) and attended UMass for about five years - studied in the University without Walls program for Business and Project Management, IT Leadership Concentration.
    I unfortunately had to stop due to financial constraints.
    I grew up in the Boston area, and moved out to Amherst for school, and am now living in Chicopee.

    I think Ari or Ross could definitely win it. Possibly Mark if either of the other two don't.

    I like Marissa, but when it comes down to it, she hasn't done anything in the game to be declared winner.

    Omarosa has won some comps, and made a big move by evicting James, but most of the house didn't seem to like her, so I can't see her winning.

    I'm not a fan of Marissa either - she's just kinda in her own little world I think, not the best way to play the game.
    The thing is, Omarosa and her game, she could have a flaw in pissing people off during the game. But then again, it's hard NOT to piss anyone off playing the game (unless you're Derrick Lavasseur, LOL) - though with the current standings, I have a good feeling she may be next up on the block.

    I just checked an online source, which gave that away, but I'm a couple of episodes behind - I think it's going to be catching up on those tonight :grin:
