Big Brother 21

[Majingir]

Show starts next TUESDAY.

Schedule is strange for first few weeks but it eventually ends up the typical Sunday,Wednesday,Thursday schedule.

Cast has been announced by CBS. 16 newbies and so far, no vets announced. If it holds true, this would be first time BB has had back to back seasons of no returning player or any newbie who has a famous relative in a decade!


Last season will be hard to top. Haven't felt that way about a season since aftermath of bb12(and even then, BB was still good back then and we weren't expecting bad seasons, so "top that" wasn't as important).

excited (as always)

Hoping we get a natural game as possible

I wonder where this season could rank. My past rankings:
7(AS),8,12,10,5,20 as "top tier"
Celeb,18,16,14,6,17,Celeb 2, 11 as "middle tier"
13,19,15,9 as "bottom tier"

Odd numbered seasons have done real poorly. The bottom 6 seasons for me happened to be the last 6 odd numbered seasons. Hopefully BB21 can break that curse.

You mean NO twists?


Not confirmed, guess we could find out tonight or tomorrow, but from what people are saying about the cast, the twist could be.....

Spoiler

Everyone comes into the game knowing 1 other HG. Maybe it's a pairs season or everyone must keep their relationship a secret

From reading the bios, sounds like most HGs are recruits/newbies to BB. Could be a good thing, could be a bad thing, guess we'll find out. Seeing how BB has casted some horrible superfans of the game, maybe newbies is the way to go?

My usual HG assessment (it seems to be hit or miss. Last year was rare time someone in my F2 actually made it to F2)

Spoiler

Holly: I think she'll have a good social game and could get far.

David: Could see him connecting with people early on and flying under the radar.

Nicole: Maybe the "outcast" among the females? From her bio alone, seems like she has alot to say. Maybe HGs get annoyed by that?

Tommy: Feels like he could be a generic player of the season.

Kathryn: Sounds like the social media person of the season. Maybe just on BB to boost her social media following?

Kemi: In her bio she basically claims she's a hothead. Probably an early boot.

Cliff: The older guys usually don't do so well on BB. I don't think he'll be any diff.

Ovi: I think he could be the standout person of the season. Maybe it could make him a threat early on, but if he can get in an early alliance, he has a shot to win.

Nick: Could be one of the guys to get in a showmance this season. The "we're not in a showmance" showmance.

Jack: His bio is short and to the point. I think he could be part of an alliance where he's the one winning the comps for them.

Jackson: One of the people who could fly under the radar without having much of a game.

Jessica: One of the only HGs who seems to have been a fan for many years. Though she said her age is "30ish". Makes me wonder how much older she might be compared to rest of house which could make her a target.

Christie: Another HG I could see not meshing with others as much, maybe ending up a pre-jury boot.

Sam: I feel like he could be someone who sounds interesting but ends up being a bust. Although he lists Derrick as his fave, so maybe his game ends up "boring" but still good.

Analyse: I don't see her winding up in the middle. Either she is an early boot/targeted by the other women, or makes it far.

Isabella: Another one of the HGs I could see not meshing with others and possibly an early boot because of that.

My jinxed F4 pick: Kathryn, Isabella, Kemi, Jackson
Actual F4 Pick: Holly, David, Ovi, Analyse (David/Ovi in F2)

I just think they need to dial back the special powers. It's like playing poker with wildcards. If you play deuces wild, it can be kinda fun. But when you start playing with 3 wildcards, and the game becomes ridiculous.

If you want me to care about the folks playing in the game, give them a game in which their decisions matter. Too many powers, and it is just Real World, but they never leave the house.

I'm fine with twists going into the game, but I don't want the obvious production twists to help save certain people.

It probably will be good to see a game where no one knows about the game. Maybe they didn't even show them a previous season. It would be good to not have every eviction be a backdoor or unanimous vote. The game has become so bland because no one wants to be a target early.

But you know there'll never be a season like that. Where its 1 twist and that's it. BB is in love with twists and has to have a theme lasting 3 or 4 weeks before abandoning it, doing something diff and/or reintroduce the twist for a convenient moment later..

Even Survivor is becoming like that where theres immunity idols found like every other episode. Its entertaining to see craziness at tribal, but it just gets abit much with twists.


And it really is a newbie season. People even said stuff like "I haven't watched Big Brother enough to have a favourite."

Forget the BB hacker. Brett was a Clairvoyant.
