Big Brother (CBS) -- Season 20
 
I just noticed that Big Brother 20 already started. Is anyone watching it? I'm guessing not if there wasn't a new thread for it :lol:

This is the first year we skipped since it started. We were pretty bored watching it last summer and we are pretty busy this summer so I don't think we are really missing much.

I'm watching, but yeah this place is a wasteland, so I didnt expect any talk this year.

Re: Big Brother 19 Season Thread Premieres June 28th
 
I'm surprised there was even a thread for last year. No Celebrity Big Brother thread though as far as I know.

I'm watching, but I figure there are plenty of other dedicated BB websites, like Joker's Updates, where most people get a higher level of discussion than would ever happen on here.

Re: Big Brother 19 Season Thread Premieres June 28th
 
I'm enjoying the season so far. The producers have employed a lighter touch this season with less obvious manipulation; while they still have their fun, there's a lot of time given to strategy and player "mechanics". There still are a few players that kind of fade into the background, but Sunday they provided an explanation of what "The Bros" are up to, and how that resulted in their nominations. The girls are a little more one-dimensional so far, though that will no doubt change as the game moves on.
It's a definite improvement over the last few seasons.

Rockstar math: 30 x 60 =1200

Rachel got done dirty. Angela is hot as balls but has the personality of a fly. Think she somehow thought Rachel was playing her. That miscommunication cost us a hottie.

Tyler probably playing the best game.

No, and it's been refreshing, since Julie can actually reveal information to the evicted houseguests about votes and betrayals and get their reactions. Of course, the houseguests have been expecting a returning player based on previous seasons, and I don't know if they've been told that's not happening. They have been told the latest twist, -the "Hack", -and apparently more about it than the audience has been told (Sam was trying to make an argument that they should effectively reject the twist, -she had some details I hadn't heard, -but I don't think the crowd was buying what she was selling).

With the latest eviction, the remaining houseguests will comprise "The Jury".

Boondock Saint 08-03-18 04:47 PM

Re: Big Brother 19 Season Thread Premieres June 28th
 
Yeah, I thought since Sam's power to save someone on her terms expired, it automatically goes to somebody that was evicted. Am I misremembering/misunderstood that part or are they just ignoring it?

It did. The person who was voted out got a chance to stay in the game. There was a timed puzzle they had to complete and they did not complete in time.

The Hacker comp has been played and allows the (secret) winner to change at least one of the nominations and cancel one vote for eviction. Of course, there's still a Veto Comp to play.

Spoiler:
Scotty won and took himself off the block; Scotty and Rockstar were nominated, with RS the target. Scotty put up Tyler in his place.



Note: I just read an interview with Julie Chen and she mentioned that the various crew members who tested the puzzle all managed to complete it in less than 45 seconds. Kaitlynn was given two-and-a-half minutes. It makes me think the producers were expecting her to go back into the game.

I have no doubt they wanted her back in the game. Not only would there have been fireworks, but Kaitlyn got a LOT of TV time--she was good in the diary room and out. But she just got way too flustered in that comp. :(

Alright, a new season 20 Big Brother thread for those that are fans.

Good Lord, takes literally 5 seconds to make one. :lol:

If you're a big fan, take the initiative and make one. A Mod should probably take the posts from the bumped season 19 thread and move them here.

Re: Big Brother 19 Season Thread Premieres June 28th
 
Watching her struggle with the puzzle, I thought there might have been some trick to putting it together or else it would fall to pieces before it was completed, like having to assemble it flat on the floor or starting a certain way.

GuessWho 08-05-18 08:45 AM

Re: Big Brother 19 Season Thread Premieres June 28th
 
Since the 6-piece puzzle was designed to be won, this coming Thursday was supposed to be a double eviction--thus two people would start jury together--but Kaitlyn screwed up the people count and now it's just a single eviction.

Putting it together on the floor was the first thing I thought of, but I didn't have any pressure on me. Kaitlyn thought of it, but too late too help her, She got the legs easy enough, but the "crotch-piece" that joined them seemed to baffle her and she just choked.

Yeah they only had like 2 minutes left to interview her. They must've thought it was an absolute slam dunk. The irony of a 24 year old "life coach" failing a 6 piece puzzle a slow child could complete is a magical BB moment.

Here's her life coach website btw.

This is currently making the rounds on social media... Bayleigh might be preggers.

From what I gather, her period is two weeks late, her tits are sore, and she and Swaggy were raw doggin' back when he was in the house.

The hacker changed them by the end of the episode. Can Scotty be put back on the block as result of the POV comp (depending on how it goes) or is he safe for the week?

fujishig 08-06-18 09:23 AM

Re: Big Brother (CBS) -- Season 20
 
The one thing I don't like is that the hacker has so much power. I mean they can:
1. Nullify a nominee and choose the replacement
2. Pick someone for the veto competition
3. Nullify a vote entirely

That's a lot of power. I don't think it will matter much this week but it seems like it would be very easy to manipulate who gets this so that production can be ensured fireworks happens.

They have to get rid of Bayleigh now, right? If for no other reason so that she can’t ever use her power to steal the nominations?

When Brett was trying to get Alliance, he got Anallice instead.

Apparently, Bayleigh will be meeting with a nurse today about her situation.

It promises to be a fun episode or two.

Spoiler:
Penalty costumes, and Bayleigh got backdoored, supposedly framed for being the hacker; there's good chance they'll get rid of her to keep her from using her power to change the noms. Meanwhile, Bayleigh is on a tear about her nomination and has had a couple of freak-outs. She hopes the ratings will drop when she leaves. She feels appearing on a reality show will hurt her career. She mentions to someone that she was "casted" on the show to be the sassy and aggressive black girl and that's what they -and then the feeds were interrupted.

That casting part is spot on... they definitely have a type that they always, always cast. I would think in the first episode, when she basically said she rolls her eyes when customers need something, that that hurt her career, but what do I know?

edited to add:

I guess her exact quote was:
“When it comes to passengers, basically I’ll help you if I absolutely have to but if I don’t, I probably won’t.”

DWilson 08-08-18 10:14 PM

Re: Big Brother (CBS) -- Season 20
 
A lot of wild stuff happened after the POV, -I don't know how much will make tomorrow's show. There was a house meeting where Bayleigh started screaming at Tyler and she didn't realize she was spitting blood. By the way, Bayleigh has been told that the feed watchers are aware of her situation and she's been warned to stop talking about production (and I mean apparently beyond the usual warnings everyone gets). Someone has been posting feed highlights on youtube.

I would never appear on a reality show if I was worried about my career. You just can't know how you're going to be edited, and you certainly can bet that you'll do or say something that someone will disagree with over the course of 100 days.

That said, I'd say most of the contestants end up with more online followers and career opportunities than before they came on the show. They may not always be what they want, but they come.

This show in particular absolutely casts people who are chasing fame (like Swaggy). I think early on they didn't and it was super boring, so now you get what amounts to almost caricatures of people. I just wouldn't say, in the preshow, that I don't care about customers if I really wanted to keep my job after it was all said and done.

Bayleigh and Swaggy are a good fit. Both delusional and arrogant for no good reason.

I'll just pop in here to say that many people assume Big Brother gets canceled if Les Moonves is pushed out of CBS. Survivor is also likely finished at CBS if he goes.

Re: Big Brother (CBS) -- Season 20
 
Why would they cancel two of their top shows? The only thing I could see happening is that Love Island becomes a big enough hit to maybe replace one of those shows eventually.

This is the same network that has 3 version of NCIS and 4-5 versions of CSI. If Love Island is a hit they won't cancel Survivor,they will just try to make spinoffs like Milf Island, Isle Of Gay's, Seperation Island, Model Island etc
