#I’m still mad but not at Azah

[whoblewboobear]

I’m not mad at Azah per sé but I’m mad that she had to bear the weight of being this season’s last hope of having a deserving black winner. Because by no means is what happened entirely her fault. It was a domino effect of multiple weeks coming and it’s heartbreaking.

Before that hoh I think we all knew Hannah was next no matter what if she didn’t win. Hearing Azah say they need to get X out gave the tiniest shred of hope that *maybe* there’d be a better outcome. And ky winning veto felt like *maybe* hope wasn’t lost yet.

But in the moment it felt like the worst betrayal because of that fear that something like this will never happen again. Or even not knowing when. It could be another 22 years before we get another black winner. A deserving one at that. The thought of our first being X, Ky, or DF… when better, more strategic, and loyal players within the cookout were right there? The weight of all that came down to Azah’s hoh and that’s not fair to her.

Azah genuinely is one of the kindest, loyalist, players that have graced this season and she was a joy to watch.

This team draft shit already ain’t sitting right with me

The BB23 Houseguests as the people I encountered while I was working at Disney World:

Alyssa: A little girl in a stroller I was attempting to give a sticker to. I crouched down and said “Here’s a sticker Princess!” and she slapped my fucking hand and hissed at me. Her mom was embarrassed and apologized. I was like oh it’s fine but really I was this close from jumping a four year old. I was just trying to give you a goddamn sticker, you ungrateful brat!

Azah: A lady who was vegan ordered the Canadian beer cheese bacon soup and then immediately gagged on it. She then said she didn’t realize the soup wasn’t vegan, even though the menu clearly indicated it. She then said “Man I really got start reading these menus!” Honestly it made me laugh.

Brent: We had received a text message on our station iPad which had a picture of man and instructions that this guy had too much alcohol, was cut off, and to not serve him anything other than water or food. Sure enough, he came around to our area and wanted a beer. We told him we couldn’t serve him that, but offered him a bottle of water and a cut of steak. He got mad, stormed off into a nearby bush, screamed into it, and then came back and said “Fine. I’ll take the water! But no promises I’ll drink it!” He left not too long after. Fucking dumbass.

Britini: Girl on the Safari ride in Animal Kingdom who, every time we passed an animal, burst out into the Lion King opening. She was excited and it was cute. The first time. After that I was over it.

Christian: On Christmas Day, I was cleaning up a dining area, and this man with his two kids were finishing up their meal. There is only one way into this dining area, and it has a trash can right by the entrance, as well as another trash can in the back. He stood up, looked around got a trash can, and then gave up. And instead of leaving the tray filled with trash for me to clean up on the table, he just dumped in on the fucking floor. I had to walk out to our back dock and laugh because it was the stupidest shit I’ve ever seen. Like he had two kids of different ages, which means someone knew how dumb he was and still decided to procreate with him. TWICE! And then as he exited the dining area, he put his tray on the fucking trash can 🙃

Claire: A cast member who was standing outside of the Figment ride. I stopped to tie my shoelace and I said to her “I really like this ride. It’s cute!” And she turned to me with her shades pushed down and said “yeah sure. But the soundtrack makes me want to pour hot cheese sauce directly into my ear drums.” And honestly, I felt that.

Derek F: Guy in the Haunted Mansion ride who was screaming “No ohmigod it’s too dark! I don’t deal with demons, especially not in the dark! Oh now the ghosts are dancing?!? No no no that’s not okay. I gotta get off this shit!” The entire ride. Honestly my favorite time I ever rode it!

Derek X: A chaotic mess of a coworker I had who, on our off day at Epcot, decided he was gonna down ten shots of Beverly (the nastiest soda on earth) and ride Mission: SPACE five times in a row. Surprisingly, he did not puke. But he wasn’t never quite right after that day.

Frenchie: A man once got so wasted in Epcot he started scaling up the pyramid in the Mexico pavilion and had to be escorted out. He’s banned from the park btw.

Hannah: In the big Magic Kingdom cast member cafeteria, one of my coworkers was friends with a character performer who played Cinderella. She waved her over and the girl, who was in sweats but still had her Cinderella wig, jewelry, and make up on, came over, slid into our booth, took a sip of her coke, said “Sup bitches.” I loved her instantly.

Kyland: One time I was in the underground tunnels walking to my work location, and caught a glimpse of Aladdin and Flynn Rider making out in the hallway, in full costume. What a morning that was.

Sarah Beth: During the Halloween party, I was taking pictures with Cruella and I asked her if she just likes dogs and she replied, stone cold “Oh no dear! I’m always down to skin a pussy cat too!” The shit some of these character performer would say!

Tiffany: The one time I was getting my picture taken with Tinkerbell, and I had a bag with her face on it, and the character performer went full ham and said “Oh this just be mine it had my face on it!” Dumped my shit out of my bag and started posing for the photographer. Give her an Emmy!

Travis: A dude who came up and asked me when does Harry Potter come flying out during the parks closing firework show. To which I said sir this is the wrong park, that would be Universal Studios. And he said “wait, this isn’t Diagon Alley?!?” People y’all. People are something else.

Whitney: This lady who screamed at me for our location not having the regular churros. It was close to Christmas and our churros were covered in red and green cinnamon sugar. She insisted she could taste the food dye and demanded the regular churros. I had to refund her after she berated me and then she had the nerve to say “Have a good day!” Bitch.

Xavier: In a small break room in Adventureland, Peter Pan walked in, pulled his phone, and took of his wig to reveal his bald ass head. He then said “Peter’s getting too old for this shit!” A mood.

Even though the Cookout has had several issues within themselves, the fact week after week they have continued to survive and stick by each other as a unit is so remarkable and truly highlights them as one of the strongest alliances in the game.

Honestly I’m not someone who thinks they’re rlly steamrolling by, yeah they’re a majority alliance but there’s still drama and tension to be found within the alliance, we all know a vast majority of the CO can’t stand Ky as a player and he might be the first member to go but most majority alliances are so blinded by the fact they’re in a majority alliance that they all just float and give up playing until they’re evicted. The Cookout hasn’t really done that.

The one thing the CO has done that many majority alliances haven’t done in modern BB is remember they are still individual players. We’ve seen these six, all in their own way, all handle their individual games separately. Ultimately their loyalty lies with each other, a given in an alliance, but the way they play as individuals is what highlights their strengths as potential finalists. Whether it’s mainly socially (Tiffany, DF, Azah, Hannah) or it’s physically (Xavier, Kyland), or a mix of both, they’re all playing.

There is something to be said about each of them and how they got themselves this far and if that’s something you’re mad about, that’s on you.

Azah did the same thing to Hannah tonight that Hannah did to Alyssa last week which sure is… well that sure is something. I’m absolutely not saying she deserved it, but I know she was having flashbacks. And what Hannah did to Alyssa is arguably worse bc she knew without a doubt Alyssa was leaving, while I really do think Azah was blindsided by Ky (but it was still a dumb move I’m so mad at her 🥲).

it was dumb it was like either way she was never gonna put df or kyland up so it’s like it is what it is which has been my attitude sinceeee dx left maybe, maybe i had some hope up until tiff was forced to put claire up, i’m numb to it and when i do get angry i get angry at df 😭 idk he be getting on my nerves
