Big Brother 21

Re: Big Brother 21

This makes so much sense if true.

FCC allegedly compared Big Brother to WWE (in the sense that it's not really a real/legit show but more an entertainment type of show with predetermined results)

I havent thought BB is flat out rigged in the sense that they know who is winning each comp, who is evicted in what order and all that. However, I've always felt BB has been a show where HGs get steered in certain directions by production, and the twists which get put in at convenient times.

Re: Big Brother 21

So..anyone actually watching the finale?

I'm honestly only watching the jury segments and then the live voting and aftermath part.

Knowing our luck, this will be the 1 season where the F2 actually had a decent amount of time to plead their case. Unlike last year where Tyler lost because he didnt have time to explain to the jury some stuff, specifically to Sam who voted against him, all because BB desperately needed to spend 5 minutes on Swaggy and Bayleigh.

I'll be watching for sure, but I'm a dork and the whole Survivor premiere and Big Brother finale pairing is a fun watch for me.

Re: Big Brother 21

Yes, I've actually really enjoyed this season. The first couple of weeks were rough and it's probably in the bottom 3 of all seasons for me but a bad season of BB is still better than most network TV so I'm not going to complain too much.

I'm rooting hard for Nicole but think that Michie deserves it more. I don't really want Holly to win but her winning over Michie would be hilarious to watch. I'm sure he'll play it off well but you know it will kill him on the inside. Anyway, it should be fun.

I'm less interested in Survivor even though. Even as a big Boston Rob fan, I just hate the premise of this gimmick that they're doing with the "Idol". Just go ahead and let them play because you know they'll be joining the game at some point.

Re: Big Brother 21

I'll watch but might not tonight. I usually skip through these episodes and nothing is going to happen unless Nicole wins. She is the only one that has a choice to make.

Jackson will probably lose no matter who he chooses, he has played a great game to get this far, but socially people hate him because of his actions and personality.

Re: Big Brother 21

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.


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)

This season continues the trend I mentioned before season began about horrible odd numbered seasons.
My new rankings:
7(AS),8,12,10,5,20 as "top tier"
Celeb,18,16,14,6,17,Celeb 2, 11 as "middle tier"
13,21,19,15,9 as "bottom tier"

My cast assessment was interesting. I was right on Holly, from the start I felt she'd make it far. Though if she played a similar game with no showmance, people would've liked her alot more.

My David and Ovi picks lol. Jinxed BB picks, what else is new?

Nicole wasnt what I thought she'd be in a good way. Tommy I thought was gonna be generic but he at least had good DRs. I was right on Kemi, because we all know how the BB stereotypes play out (Kemi even got mad the DR tried making her say/do stereotypical things). My Nick comment was so funny how accurate it was. I was somewhat right on the Jack predictions, Jackson was off. Bella,Analyse,Christie I was close to right. Same with Sam.

I was way wrong on Kat and Cliff. I thought I'd hate Kat, but now she's one of my fave BB players ever. I hope she returns in future.

Re: Big Brother 21

Yet another BB finale rushed like crazy.

I get they only have 90 mins, but why not just change up format of show?

Replace Sundays useless recap episode with the final HOH comp and eviction. Then Wednesday is simply just the F2 being grilled by the jury for the hour.


Survivor is taped, but you still have well over 30 mins(including commercials) spent on the final tribal. BB does theirs in like 15 mins of real time.



Either way, that was the most awkward and savage ending to BB in history.

maybe have an entire episode dedicated to apologies?

that could be a recurring thing, houseguests apologize for all the things they've said or done wrong, despite not knowing what they've said or done wrong.

Maybe someone tells Julie to shorten up her last name

pitch clock?

Re: Big Brother 21

Too bad Jackson won, but in a vacuum he was the best.

It's great that CBS tried a little to grill into them, but they didn't go far enough. As they let several of them off when it was the entire group of 8 doing it.

Re: Big Brother 21

As much as season sucked, HGs seem more fun in real life. Holly just stuck as Michies GF, or Beth.

Her post show interview was actually funny. Specifically her David part. Too bad we couldn't see this side of her and other HGs on TV.

I hope that everyone is not as competitive as Holly. I did enjoy watching this interview with her, she is a good sport.

Re: Big Brother 21

Of this entire cast, I think these past 2 seasons have produced a good amount of females who should return in a future season, but we all know how much producers/casting hates idea of all returnee season.

Kat, Nicole and even Holly are ones I'd look at as returnees.
