A lot of people said Eric, but I actually think Jessica would've had a good chance as well.

BTW, for some reason I thought America voted for America's Player. I just learned that production picked him to do it lol

I was recently diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum last year.

I think some of the symptoms I experienced made me uncomfortable driving. I'm 21 years old and haven't gotten my license yet. I tried practicing for years and got my permit @ 15, but I always felt way too overwhelmed or felt like a car was about to crash into mine when it was driving near me, even just with driving in the neighborhoods or parking lots. I haven't driven in two years, because there were a couple of things that happened that were just way too traumatic and distressing for me, and I have had no desire to get behind the wheel since.

One of which was a car destroying the front of the car I was driving because they took up too much space in my lane (which has nothing to do w/ autism), and the other was me approaching an intersection. Then my Dad randomly screaming at me because a car was apparently coming towards us that I failed to see despite being laser-focused on the road.

To be honest, one of my biggest fears is that someone is gonna honk at me or I hear a sudden loud noise, and I'm going to start panicking and cause an accident.

I want some perspectives from autistic voices. Did you all have some of the same fears, or struggle with driving? How did you overcome these things? I have nothing lined up this summer and wanted to potentially get back into it, but I don't know if I can revisit that level of stress again

This is such a random question.

But all of the single-digit seasons were 80-something days except All-Stars, which was only 72. And the next season after that ended up being 82 days. I'm just curious why they randomly shortened the season. Is there a particular reason, or was it just random?

I kind of would guess that maybe the All-Stars didn't want to play a full-length season, but then again I feel like a week or 2 wouldn't make that much of a difference.

Watching this show, it almost seems like production purposely tries to set up people to be in showmances? Is there something about them that makes the show more appealing?

I've heard that Bayleigh and Omorosa both poisoned the juries on their season to vote a certain way (Bay said it on the BB22 feeds).

I'm so curious how that would work. How could somebody have that much influence in the jury house?

Are you stuck in a hotel room, or are you in a house by yourself?

If you're in a hotel, do they bring you your meals?

Is room service free?

How does it work?

do you think they are just as annoying as the shout-outs to family members?

if you were in the house, would you feel pressured to do one, or would you refuse to?

IMO, the shoutouts are way worse, but I really would love to do away with those hallway dances as well! please….

EDIT: Neither is that deep. I don't care that much! Goodness gracious

I want to hear about your experiences. When did you realize you were asexual? Did you have doubts that you just hadn't "met the right person". Did people invalidate you when you told them? I'm just really curious, since this is something I think about a lot at 21.

What do you all think when you watch it? I'm curious to see if our perspectives are similar.

If so, what is your job, and how did you find it? I am sick of feeling useless at home all day with no money coming in.

This may be unpopular, but I'd kind of like for them to bring back the older style of intro packages when they said "I'm _______"....and then some kind of corny phrase, and then showing them packing.

I'm saying this as someone who wants to be on the show but would have nothing interesting to say to fill up a 90 second intro package

At this point, job applications are an obscure way of applying. Please give me some more ideas.

And if you don't think it's possible to go a day without sinning, then how could "sinning" be a choice?

If so, what would be your strategy for not giving in? If not, why don't you think you'd be strong enough to put it off?

With the isolated environment of Big Brother, do you think it is virtually impossible not to give into that kind of urge?

I'm gonna be 21 on Saturday! My life just feels so empty. I have nothing interesting to share about myself since I don't really experience anything! I mainly just have made very safe and practical decisions, that yes have granted me safety and security, but also leave a lot to be desired!

Does anyone else crave adventure, but at the same time have a lot of fear of jeopardizing their security? Does anyone wish they were a rebel who didn't really care about consequences?

I posted about this a few days ago, but I'm a college student who received a Linkedin message from somebody saying he was looking for "business partners" and asked to meet with me.

I had a ZOOM call with him, and during the zoom call, he was pitching me to get involved in a pyramid scheme. He was very rude to me when I asked him very basic questions about his non-existent company! When the meeting was over, I told him I didn't want to be involved with what he was doing. I recorded the whole conversation on my cellphone (both of us are in one-party consent states)

After the meeting, completely not thinking, I blocked and reported his Linkedin page. Then I realized that I wanted to file a report against him and use the ZOOM conversation I recorded as evidence that he was trying to rope college students into some shady stuff. Since I reported and blocked the conversation on Linkedin, I can't see the original messages of him asking to meet with me, and when I tried unblocking his profile wouldn't appear under "Blocked members". When I copied his profile URL into LinkedIn, it says "page doesn't exist". There is no way I can unblock him now, but I still have the full conversation with him recorded.

Could I still send that conversation to the FTC, or would I need to send the original messages as well to prove that he was the one who tried to recruit me?

ugh...i'm so irritated that i blocked him

Yesterday, I blocked and reported someone who was trying to recruit me to join a pyramid scheme. I am trying to unblock them so I can access the messages where they were trying to recruit me. They are not showing up on my blocked members tab, and when I paste in their profile URL, it says the page doesn't exist.
