No, they're gay and are playing folks because that's what people want. They don't want to see or know how common bisexuals are. Better to be "friends" to the public and snuggle up behind closed doors.

What the heck? I hate the way the other guys have played into it. They have told her to talk to Caleb, and that he is the only one that can save her. What do they want her to do? It has just turned into something ugly.

Caleb is scary. I know guys just like him. He wanted to "get her back in line" and with that comment it further proves that even if Amber did have a relationship with him, he would be toxic. He cannot handle rejection well and that is a big red flag.

Yep, I just read online big brother, and Caleb is off his rocker big time. If I were Amber, I would be afraid of him.

Zach himself may be confused.

This is how I feel:
Zach and Frankie hang all over each other, and it's clear that Frankie - who is gay - has a massive crush on Zach - who is straight. They spoon, they cuddle, they lay across each other's bodies and call each other "bae"..and not one word is said about how Zach is leading Frankie on.
Cody flirts with all the women in the house to get them to like him and then turns around and bad mouths them, but yet he's never accused of being a tease.
The take away? Guys can get away with it because they're just being playful and charming and strategic, but women are evil or "asking for it" for doing the exact same thing.
Thankfully last night's edit really showcased Caleb's entitlement and possessiveness. I won't go as far as to say he's dangerous, because I don't think he is, but he clearly sees women as property. That alone is problematic.

That is an interesting question. Do shows like BB,Survivor and others have security for their cast?

Caleb doesn't get the hint that she is not interested in him. She has openly cuddled/flirted with Cody in front of Caleb several times. Caleb still doesn't get it. He's deluded.

All the live feeders I've interacted with find Caleb's behavior very disturbing. He obsessed with Amber. Caleb has only two subjects of conversation in the house - himself and his feelings for Amber - and he switches conversation to those two subjects whenever he can. He's quite the narcissist as other houseguests have noticed. I think it's the narcissism which is preventing Caleb from accepting that Amber has no interest in him.

Amber hasn't said a word to Caleb in the last 4 days. He's displaying signs of a classic abuser and has come up with a plan to try right now to force her to "know her place" (his words) and come crawling back to him. It's very upsetting to watch on the live feeds with the other houseguests feeding into his delusions for game purposes. Many feeders are hoping she won't make jury so she won't be stuck in jury house with the creep. The situation is that bad.

My point exactly.

Caleb is the self proclaimed king of the house.

he has really lost it...

production doesnt even need to do anything to get footage for the show

he is still convinced that Amber is not showing her true feelings because she's in the house

Amber should have never done that 'date' thing. when your dealing with an obsessed person the slightest inch you give em they will think there's an opening

ignoring is probably the best route to take at this point.

production doesnt see a problem with caleb and are probably crafting something thru their manipulation, and hopefully leeds to a live show today with some epic embarassing moments for beastmode cowboy

That's what I figured. He must be good at hiding his feelings.

I bet Donny is handsome behind that beard.

When we're those pics of Amber and Caleb taken?? Seeing those make this whole situation suspect to me. Maybe it's all fake.

Did they give a reason?
