I marvel at his memory, when he does his favorite season rankings I can't remember any of them. It's like my brain forgets almost everything as soon as the season ends

Which is a good thing in some cases lol. At times I want to forget stuff just so that whenever I rewatch a season, it seems new/fun to watch. I've done that with Survivor and it makes watching so much better. I still know who won and most of the time who was with them in the finals, but I don't remember much of anything else, so each episode still seems new. In a weird way, it's like watching a season knowing for sure you'll love it, without knowing entirely what happens.


Speaking of past seasons, as they mentioned on the show, the audience was filled with past BB players. Lets see how many HGs people here can name:

I think it's around 47 or so people on there. Of all those people, assuming I'm right on who they are, there's probably 9 or 10 I can't name (2 guys, the rest women). Surprised that many people we haven't seen in 10 or so years still look about the same, Keesha(BB10) especially (for those who don't know/remember, she's the blonde near the left side in blue)

Is that Life Coach, Nicole Ritchie in disguise? She reminds me of her so much.

Don't know if I can make it the whole season. Already too many people that have no chance of winning because they think they are smart, athletic, good at manipulating people, etc. Then add this stupid trending, just another way for production to keep players safe and punish ones they don't like.

Looks like this is going to be boring as the emotional players don't look like they will be able to keep their mouth shut. Smart players will just play safe in the background and just help create some drama that will set off the others.

You'll get similar gameplay with similar types of casts. The trending stuff seems stupid. Sure, fans are voting for certain people, but the questions themselves can steer you into certain directions.


If you ask "Who is the most annoying?", clearly nobody is gonna vote for someone who has barely been featured on TV. So that person won't get many votes. Meanwhile someone on TV alot who fans don't like will get all those votes. Another question I saw this week was "Which houesguest is the funniest". Again, if you weren't on TV, you won't get voted for in that category. If you got funny DRs AND they get shown on TV in that specific episode, people will vote you. Given that they have rewards/punishments for people finishing 1st or last in categories, you can have alot of leading questions impacting the game.

Can someone explain why Angela is so mad at Swaggy C? She told him that they both should just save "their 8"(meaning the 8 on the platform), meaning she said she won't be saving him if she won. At the end of the comp, he did tell her she's safe (despite not having to do so), BUT, that was before he knew he wasn't saving 8 individuals, he was saving 2 entry groups.

He told Angela she was safe, not Angela and 3 others. Not to mention he had to save his own group too.

Unless BB changed things up. Because Julie kept on mentioning that whoever wins gets to save 8 people including themselves. However, when Swaggy C had to make his decision, he had to choose 2 groups. So what if he just didn't choose his own group for some reason? I feel more like BB just changed up their own rules. Because how Julie worded it made it just seem like the winner automatically saves themselves and then chooses 7 individuals. If it wasn't automatic(and he could've chosen a group that wasn't his), then why mention the winner saves themself?

Yeah it was weird. I wonder if they changed their minds after the plan was to keep everyone in the 8. They basically broke out as you would predict, so they could quickly lose their stereotype players. If you look at the 4 people groups, they mixed them up well.

So it makes sense to save 2 groups of 4 as they can keep a similar player safe. It doesn't appear like that was the original plan, but it was a good backup plan.

Heart was breaking for Sam last night. I haver to wonder if the BB fix was in to save her. I actually don't mind if that was the case, because this punishment nearly broke who is easily my wife and I's favorite player so far.

Overall, we are pretty meh about the cast this season. Of course, that is often the case, but as stuff plays out you begin to find your peeps. I think the season has a chance to be decent.

Swaggy is looking more and more like a guy that will go early, like the Messiah. The dude seems to have absolutely zero empathy and sympathy for others. He is crazily self-centered. Kinda disappointed that he didn't get the crap app.

I have no idea why Fessy did, but maybe he lacks as much of a social network following? I predicted that the weird party girl was going to be the crap app recipient. It may just be me, but I she rubs me all the wrong ways. She is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Steve, the former cop, is weak. He doesn't understand the game, or just how out of touch he really is from everyone else. I think he believes his experience as an undercover cop helps, that dude was never going to parties with kids like these.
