Eltoasto posted:I wonder if the coaches thing is their measure to prevent crazy racist houseguests, hoping a coach can settle people down. I'm not sure that was really a huge issues outside BB15. I mean, yeah, every season has its insane people or assholes. Aubrey was a crazy person and Frankie was a major narcissist but nothing ever got as toxic or as serious as BB15. Aubrey created a couple of weeks of pure chaos and paranoia but once she was exposed it mostly calmed down outside the Vanessa bubble. BB obviously wants a certain level of paranoia and conflict. But yeah, I've thought every since BB15 that returnees who understood the cameras and exposure were the most obvious way to control the more avoidable bad behavior of otherwise sane kids who just haven't broken out of the high school or small town mindsets. Those kids tend to flock around the dominant personalities and if you throw some coaches/vets in they immediately become the focus of the cast and can set the pace. Teek posted:
Wow, yeah. I don't know what the hell that accent Vanessa has is but her sister has it too exactly the same. I went in thinking "Eh, I don't remember Vanessa's voice like Rachel's or anything, so she can probably hide it" but drat, no. That was distinctive.

Mostly "event coordinating" seemed to be calling up people to go to a bar and then getting really high and having sex with a questionably young girl**. *By "buddies" I mean he sold drugs and ran book with friends of mine so he was always around even though he skeeved me out. **Or guy, probably. He's the only person who ever made me feel like I might be getting sexually harassed.

Wasn't the cute mom from a couple seasons ago an "event coordinator" and it turned out she was married to and divorced a really rich guy. I assumed it was a job for trophy wives to do party planning on the side. But yeah I could see both those alternatives too.

Are people confusing Frank, musclebound son of a pro wrestler that Dan ran circles around, with Frankie, social media tycoon and definitely-not-coattail-rider? I don't particularly want either of them back, but Frank is infinitely preferable to Frankie.

Yeah, Frank and Frankie are two different people, Frank being the better of those two. Frank = BB 14 Frankie = BB 16 Frank is the rumored returning player.

Frank's a pretty weird bland pick for a coach, but the pickings are pretty slim from the last few seasons I suppose.

I don't think they can be called coaches at all if the Da'vonne rumor is true. She was second to be voted out. They can call it Second Chance but that might be too Survivor-y. They should just call them Producers' Favorites (Not Named Jesse). Of couse, watch them be branded as Fan Favorites just like Battle of the Block is considered a fan favorite.

Yeah, Da'Vonne being a "coach" is way more questionable than even the Audrey coach rumor was. So maybe they will just be second chances. If they're doing four though, I kind of wish they threw in a few more returnees? I'm liking the mega-size casts they've been doing lately, it helps stretch out the meat of the season closer to the endgame.

Last year's cast was 17 people counting the two twins, I'm pretty sure that's the most they've ever had. This is 16 with the four rumored people - maybe there's another returnee or two, maybe they'll do intruders (they'll probably never do intruders). I'm really sick of the returning juror competition though, I'd rather just have a bigger cast. The houseguests always see it coming, it lowers the stakes of everything, and it's not even that dramatic.

Yeah it has lost its flair. They really need to make the show crazier, but I feel like that will never happen. I hope the veto and voting rumors are true, but I am completely doubtful.

That's just bad casting though. I am talking about game mechanics, like changing up vetoes and stuff. Battle of the Block was terrible, but I don't fault them for trying. I do fault them for bringing it back.

Aubrey straight up disappeared from the house for a day presumably to get some kind of help and spent most of her time in a catatonic state in bed or just wandering around in some kind of episode. The rare moments of Aubrey just calming down and hanging out with people were few and far between. And every Vanessa HOH became days of her just huddled in her room spinning out of control in some kind of paranoid fit to the point where her friends and allies were scared to go into the HOH. And then back in BB15 there was that whole "Amanda creates a fake identity and rants and raves at Elissa to the point where even her boyfriend just got the gently caress away from her" incident. Hell, BB16 was basically the season of Derrick dad'ing all the drama away and even that season had Devin spending 3 days alone in the HOH eating his meals in the shower while crying. I know BB wants to cast people who are going to behave in "crazy" ways when pushed but they may need to tweak their process a little.

sbaldrick posted:BB does take away their meds which might have something to do with it. Obviously that does affect some of them, like BB15 Judd was a guy who took anti-anxiety pills and sometimes you could see the paranoia and stress clearly get to him and send him into a kind of panic and turn nasty. Then he'd go into the DR and come back like his old self. I should say I don't actually think Devin and Vanessa are mentally ill or anything. Vanessa seemed to be very isolated and lonely, probably made worse by the fact that her circle of friends were two showmances and a pair of twin sisters so she was surrounded by people who had someone. And it seemed like that combined with the paranoia of not knowing who to trust and a kind of "analysis paralysis" just made her lose it as she had no one she trusted to comfort her or give her feedback. And Devin just seemed to lose himself in the game, overplay and create a mess, and when it all came crashing down he had a hard time coping with the social aspect of it and that the whole house felt betrayed by him. And obviously there's been other examples of that happening in the past like BB11 Ronnie. Its easy to tell yourself you'll play a dirty game but obviously not everyone is emotionally prepared to be the bad guy if they get exposed. Aubry and Amanda are probably a different story but I'm not going to try and diagnose them.

You keep making me imagine Survivor 32's Aubrey in last season's BB. (Same situation in the Survivor thread, but with Audrey, until you corrected yourself.)

Sorry. I'm terrible with names. And I do that inversion of similar names all the time. I'm sure I do it all over those ridiculous writeups I do and apologize repeatedly for it. I still have trouble keep Cirie and Ciera straight in the Survivor threads and that's not even all that close at all. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Jun 16, 2016 |

With a dozen or more people per cast, per show (TAR. Survivor, BB) for over 16 years, the names are going to start to blur for most people at this point.

This is pretty cool, the phone downstairs connects to another phone in the HOH room: http://www.cbs.com/shows/big_brother/news/1005318/house-tour/ Looks like they also smartly removed the sand from the bathroom. Also no BOB competition this year, there's a new comp replacing it: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/big-brother-18-house-tour-903441?utm_source=twitter Comp will happen halfway through the Sunday episode, with a new ceremony at the end of the episode. Maybe some type of "save" protection if the veto winner renom thing is true? Teek fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Jun 16, 2016 |

I look forward to the first case of HOHitis where the HOH calls down to summon people. Bonus points if he/she sends someone to the phone to do it for him/her. Sadly that's probably happening right now without live feeds. My prediction for things that might be changed before the show starts: 1) Having a phone booth connecting the two bedrooms seems problematic to me. I wouldn't be shocked if by the time feeds come on that thing is broken and the phone gimmick is done. I imagine they might have a twist in mind for it so maybe they'll move it but that just seems tough to keep in one piece and I imagine people who sleep in the UK room will get tired of that phone booth/doorway fast. 2) I noticed the photo booth is gone and it seems to have been replaced with a pair of "safari cameras" on tripods. I can't imagine those lasting, although it would be more interesting if they just have two cameras all the time that they can move around the house instead of the "photo time hour". But I can't imagine those cameras last a week. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Jun 16, 2016 |

No don't apologize, I didn't mean it that way. It's just that the mental images it called up were funny to me, especially since I really do forget which show some people were on. It doesn't help that cast members occasionally cross over between BB and Survivor and Amazing Race. Your write-ups are usually accurate and help me make sense of them actually, even when I have to do a double take. STAC Goat posted:I look forward to the first case of HOHitis where the HOH calls down to summon people. Bonus points if he/she sends someone to the phone to do it for him/her. I miss the seasons when the cast seeing each other and entering the house for the first time was live, and the feeds started much earlier. Edit: Actually I can't remember a specific season where it started live, so maybe it just happened sooner? Fedelm fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Jun 16, 2016 |

Seeing the new house and hearing the news that BotB is dead made me moderately excited for the new season. gently caress that doorless HOH bathroom, though.

Every year before the new season I poke around SurvivorSucks and just gloss over all the random silliness and drama of the BB World over the past season. Just my ease in to gossipy trash and self loathing. Thankfully I was rewarded with the most wonderful news. Brendan and Rachel had a child and they named her Adora Borealis. And with that I laughed to myself for like 10 minutes and reaffirmed my love for the sheer absurdity of Rachel Reilly. Big Brother 18, here I come.
