Big Brother Spoilers: Veto & Final Nominations

Big Brother is at the stage of the game that everything is getting ridiculously predictable. 


The Final Four alliance continued to make their presence felt in the house and it has caused multiple arguments. 


Natalie and James are pretty annoyed that Nicole and Corey ditched them to form an alliance with Paul and Victor. 



With that in mind, James has stabbed pretty much everyone he’s been in an alliance with this summer, so there’s that. 


James may be great at making people think their in the wrong, but really, he is the one in the wrong. 


It was great that Victor saw through all the lies on Sunday’s episode. 


James and Natalie have pretty much been bickering non stop over the last few days in the house. 


This won’t help their case to make a deal with someone else before one of them is evicted. 


Really, the only way to survive is to literally offer to settle for second place, but would either of them do that?


Michelle probably would have. 



Secretly, Natalie resents James for making her trust Corey and Nicole. 


To an extent, I agree with her, but she kind of deserves what she’s getting for putting her game in James’ hands. 


How can she expect to go much further when all of her decisions have been made by James?


Granted, she did win a HOH competition, but she ultimately took what James said to heart and followed through on his plan. 


Basically, James won HOH that week. 


A lot was riding on the Veto competition for the couple. They could have one of them taken off the block. 


Sadly, regardless how it played out, there was no chance Victor would allow any of his alliance to go home. 


The Final Four is pretty solid for now, but that will change somewhat after next week. 



All of the houseguests competed in the veto competition, but James and Natalie were left disappointed when Corey managed to eke out a victory. 


This led to much bickering over who should be sent packing this week. Victor was very much against James. 


Thanks to Nicorey, they’re saying James would be best to stay because he would be rattled by Natalie’s departure. 


For now, it appears that Natalie is heading to the jury house on Thursday night, but things can change. 


James has been campaigning for Natalie to stay, but it’s all for nothing right now. 



Elsewhere, Paul and Victor had a chat about who they would take to final three with them and it’s sounding like Nicole might be their ticket to the end. 


Nicole has not played much of a game, but she has a better chance of winning than Corey. 


It would be silly to take her to the end over Corey. Though she hasn’t played a game, she has managed to float on through, while getting her targets out of the game. 



That’s got to count for something with the jurors. 


What do you think of the latest spoilers?


Who do you want to be evicted?

Javi Marroquin: Kailyn Lowry"s Miscarriage Was Hard For ME!

Last year, Kailyn Lowry suffered a miscarriage shortly after learning that she was pregnant with her third child.



Shortly thereafter, Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin separated after three years of marriage.



Both parties have spoken publicly about the ways in which the miscarriage impacted their relationship and may have contributed to the end of their marriage.


But now, Marroquin is revealing for the first time that he believes the misplaced rage the couple directed at one another in the weeks following their tragic loss was the primary reason that they decided to call it quits.


“The miscarriage was a big thing,” Javi said in a recent interview with Radar Online.


“She always says I wasn’t there. I apologize to her all the time. I could see where she was coming from.



“I wasn’t there as a husband, as a father, as someone she could count on to cry on my shoulder.”


He added:


“I’ve never experienced that. I was just super excited for the baby and all that happened so it was rough for me.”


During the most recent season of Teen Mom 2, Javi opened up to Kailyn about his feelings following the miscarriage:



“I knew it was no one’s fault — it wasn’t your fault, and it wasn’t my fault. But it’s crazy — it’s like I needed someone to blame,” he said.


“That was part of the reason why me and you were fighting so much right after the miscarriage. I needed to blame somebody, and I was taking it out on you.”


At the time, he confessed that he wasn’t as supportive as he should’ve been.


But this new interview is the first time that Javi admitted he believes Kailyn failed to meet his emotional needs as well.


Are his comments shockingly insensitive or admirably honest?


We won’t weigh in, but we’re sure many TM2 fans will be offering up hot takes on social media.



These days, Marroquin is dating Nancy Gisell and taking lots of flak from fans for moving on so quickly after his divorce.


He maintains that the criticism is unwarranted, as he recently learned that Kailyn cheated while the two of them were still married.


At first, it looked as though these two would actually pull off a relatively civil divorce.


Now we’re being reminded that they didn’t end up on TM2 due to their deftness at avoiding drama.


We wish these two all the best, but it looks as though the road to amicable co-parenting may be a long and difficult one.


Hopefully, they can eventually sort things out for the sake of their son, Lincoln, as well as for Kailyn’s son Isaac, whom Javi has described as his “best friend.”



These two may never regain the title of the Teen Mom 2’s most stable couple…


But they can still be the show’s most responsible parents.

Katie Holmes: Not Allowed To Date Until 2017!

Tom Cruise made sure that Katie Holmes was still under his control when they ironed out divorce details in 2012.



The couple, who started a romance that no one believed was real in 2005, decided that faking their marriage was really exhausting and therefore decided to divorce.


Since Cruise made more money, he was able to put certain restrictions on Holmes even after their marriage was officially over by making her sign a contract.


That contract, according to Radar Online, stated that Holmes would get $ 5 million for doing as Cruise said.


“Katie wanted out of the marriage so badly, she agreed to the terms — and got $ 4.8 million in child support, plus another $ 5 million for herself,” a source told Radar.



“Katie signed a clause in her quickie divorce settlement that prevents her from embarrassing Tom in various ways, like talking about him or Scientology, or publicly dating another man for five years after the divorce.”


Cruise isn’t a total monster, though.  He stated that Holmes can date, but it has to be in secrecy.


“She’s allowed to date, but she cannot do so in a public fashion, and she’s not supposed to let any boyfriend near their daughter, Suri,” the source said.


This has made things challenging for Holmes and her boyfriend, Jamie Foxx.


It’s the worst kept secret in Hollywood that Foxx and Holmes are together (they’ve been dating since 2013), but Holmes will lose out on $ 5 million if she takes her relationship with Fox public.



The two were almost exposed last month when Holmes watched Foxx perform with Barbra Streisand in New York, and then joined him in his dressing room.


“They figured it wasn’t a violation of the public rule because security prevented photos. They were so discreet,” the source said.


As for Cruise, it’s said that he’s not keeping tabs on his ex, but being reunited with his money wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.



“At this point, Tom doesn’t care much what Katie does,” the source added.


“But he wouldn’t mind getting his $ 5 million back!”


What makes this story even more depressing is that Cruise has reportedly not seen his daughter, Suri in three years.  


There has been “no communication at all,” according to the tabloids, and any talk of Cruise fighting for more custody of Suri is fale.

Brock Turner, Convicted Rapist, Registers as Sex Offender

Yes, by now, you likely know who Brock Turner is.


You probably didn’t need us to write in the above headline that he’s a “convicted rapist.”



Except far too many media outlets seemed to bury this lede when reporting on Brock Turner getting out of jail last week.


They wrote that “Former Stanford Swimmer Brock Turner…” was now out of prison or some similar nonsense.


So we just want to make it clear here:


Yes, Brock Turner once swam for Stanford University.


But that fact only matters to the shady judge who gave him a lenient sentence.


Brock Turner is only generating headlines these days because he is a rapist. He was convicted on three felony counts of sexual assault against an unconscious woman.



Okay, thank you for indulging us.


We had to get that out of our system.


Turner was somehow sentenced to only six months in prison for his heinous act, which took place in January of last year and which involved him inserting his figures in a woman lying on the street outside a party.


He was caught by a couple of fellow students and ran away as quickly as he could at the time.


Fortunately, one of those students caught up to Turner and tackled him to the ground.


He was eventually arrested and convicted of rape, only for his father to argue in court that his son did not deserve any jail time for a mere “20 minutes of action.”


The judge incredibly agreed with this assessment, going against the prosecutors’ recommendation and sentencing Turner to six months behind bars, which was reduced to three months due to good behavior.


Turner is now a free man.



But he will at least have an official stigma attached to his name forever.


As you can see below, Turner registered on Tuesday morning in Greene County, Ohio as a sex offender.



This registration, along with drug and alcohol counseling, was part of Turner’s legal “punishment.”


We have to put that word in quotation marks because it’s abhorrent just how easy to judge went on Turner.


In response to the light sentencing, Turner’s unnamed victim read a moving letter to her rapist in court.


It was then read on CNN by anchor Ashleigh Banfield, who fought off tears as she made public the words of this brave young woman.



It’s well worth your time to watch the video above.


Yes, it will make you even angrier over the Brock Turner sentencing.


But it will hopefully comfort you in the knowledge that his victim seems like the sort of woman who will recover from his act and maybe even use her horrible history to help others.


Brock Turner is a rapist. Brock Turner is a rapist. Brock Turner is a rapist.


Sorry. Just had to make sure we said that a few more times.
