Sad part, I'm not even a big fan compared to superfan standards. There's many fans out there that live for the live feeds, discuss the game every single day, know everything there is to know about the houseguests in and out of the game, and much more. Some can tell you last names, hometown and occupations of past hgs too. Compared to that, I don't even seem like as big of a fan lol.

I think I have become one of those people. My wife and I watch the live feeds every night.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

Was thinking about this a couple weeks ago. Hasn't the cast over all gotten much younger than it used to be? I mean now they throw one or two "older" people in with all these younger people. Seems like now it's lower 20's to maybe 26 or so? Before it seems like it was late 20's to early mid 30's a while ago? I'm talking back when Will and Mike boogie was first on it give or take a few season around that time.

Or at least more people had a more established family life as far as kids, married where they were playing to make better for their family. Not just a summer get away and 15's min of fame.

I haven't looked at the ages in general or over all just something I thought about.

It's a bit early to speculate, but if Bridgette and Paulie stay up on the block after the Veto comp, the girls would be absolutely stupid to not vote Paulie out. Stop being worried about who you're going to get to hang out with at the jury house and put yourself in better position to win the money. I'm dying for some real game/power moves.

Don't think they'd do that. Michelle wants Bridgette out badly. For weeks now actually, even before the Frank stuff. Zakiyah is in showmance with Paulie,so no way she turns on him.

Corey is close with Paulie and wouldn't vote him out over Bridgette. Meaning Nicole wouldn't either.

Even Survivor they've done that. I think it's because they want to appeal to younger fans,so having low 20 year olds in the game could help. Younger ones more likely to make mistakes,provide more crazy/drama filled TV, and if CBS ever wants to bring them back in the future, they'd be more willing since they'd still be young and not as likely to have established family life.

And then they always stick the odd person or two in the house who's older than rest of group and will be picked off early. Frank was the old guy in the house this year lol(Glenn doesn't count since he was there for a day). Says slot about casting when a 32 year old is considered old for the game.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

Young cast and almost all recruits is a bad combo.

I've started watching older seasons on CBS All Access and its amazing how much more people used to play the game, its a vacation now and no one will make big moves. There are still some really good players but they are few and far between anymore and I don't think there is a single one this season.

As much as I think Paulie is dominating this season I don't think he would've gone very far in 17 or 16 (so not even looking very far back), this house though is the biggest bunch of followers I've ever seen and there have been plenty of seasons like that lately but this one takes the cake.

Paulie also makes me wonder how bad off Cody would've been without Derrick on BB16, if Cody is close to Paulie in terms of personality I think he would've gotten himself on the radar early in that season but Derrick always talked him down when he was frustrated about things.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

Most people seem to say Paulie is a much better player than Cody, and I think that is true.

And I agree about the summer vacation stuff. Most people nowadays are just in the house for summer vacation, while getting paid more money than they would've for a job in the same timespan(you get $1000 a week for literally just living in a fancy house 24/7). Similar with Survivor too, people wanting to be on it seem to apply cause they think Survivor is so easy, and it's basically a cool getaway to live on an island for 39 days and relax in the nice sun on a beach.

There's a reason when shows bring back vets, it's a much more competitive season, these people want to win. They're not giving up their life again just to have fun, they care about winning and anything else is a disappointment.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

I agree Paulie is clearly better than Cody but I wonder if Cody would've played more aggressively like Paulie if he didn't have an alliance member that was a mastermind like Derrick who kept him level headed and flying under the radar making sure he didn't make waves that would get him targeted.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

Maybe I'm naive but I didn't know they got paid much less 1000$ a week.

Yes and the returnees get $1500 a week.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

Amount goes up once you make jury I believe. Some of the recruits flat out told the vets to just keep them until jury, cause they want the bigger payday. Once jury gets announced,youll be seeing different gameplay by people for that reason.

And big news regarding BB19. Not yet confirmed by CBS, but many notable sites are reporting this as if this news is confirmed already:

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

Not sure why we have to use a spoiler to tell about BB19 which isn't even on yet.
But I have never missed a season of BB but if they really do air it the way say they are going to, I will not be watching.

Re: Big Brother: Season 18

Using spoilers just in case there's news people don't want to hear since right now, it's an unconfirmed rumor. I know on other tv show threads, people don't even like if you say the name of an actor who's guest starring on an episode several months from now.

Ok, now we can talk about it openly on here since CBS has confirmed the big news.

Paulie appears to be getting a good edit. This week though they are showing his personality though and he will be leaving soon if everything doesn't break his way. Maybe this is the first time it is coming out, but I doubt it.

I wasn't a fan of the way he was treating Z on the show tonight, but they probably didn't broadcast everything
