How can anyone not love Da'vonne, she overplays so hard, and is so smug, she makes for great TV and interesting feeds.

I certainly think the guy should be kicked out of the house for saying human being in a tweet four years ago. Ideally everyone on reality TV should be bland and generic with no opinions or personality. DO THEY EVEN VET THESE PEOPLE ANYMORE?!

You can be interesting, unique and have opinions and personality without using homophobic slurs, but the rest your your point stands, and I won't hate on the guy for saying stupid poo poo on the internet 4 years ago

alliance names are the best (even though they are almost always the dumbest alliance name ever)

Are you saying that Team Unicorn was named ironically? Cause I don't think that's true.

maybe ironically isn't the right word, but they know they are being goofy, coach was all serious about being the dragonslayer

So, the difference between doctors and nurses is that doctors diagnose and nurses treat. So they do have to memorize and learn a lot, but the job doesn't really involved critical thinking.

I watched Nurse Jackie and cannot disagree with you more :colbert:

Going back on the deal with Bridgette was the best move for James. He is going to have 1 furious survivor of that duo left in the house, and he scored points with everyone else other than Natalie.

except James is on the outside of the power alliance right now, and is just doing their work for them and weakening his chances to form a counter alliance

People are speculating it will be on CBS all access only, along with the new Star Trek series in order to drive viewers there

They could make a legit chenbot host, they wouldn't need an actual person standing around for the live shows. They could run it year round, with bonuses for how long you can stay in and awarded by evicted houseguests, with enough twists and shakeups to ensure one established team can't just sit there kicking out all the newcomers.

I wouldn't watch it, but I'd skim STAC Goat's summaries.

If they changed the format to this it wouldn't even be the same show, it would be some lovely paradise hotel game with less attractive people. I have to imagine it would be the same format just not during the summer. Julie Chen would probably be involved since pushing the CBS All Access platform is a huge goal for CBS moving forward, and Chen is pretty invested in CBS's success

But then the prizes could have been dealt out to people we like early enough in the game go make a difference instead of being things that just paint targets on the few popular players before unpopular ones get powers when they're ghe only options left.

I may be a little bitter, but I totally agree that these would have made more sense early in the game and I feel like they're just something they just thought of to try and fix the season's problems. They're also giving away a free month of feeds to people who cancel, which makes it sound like a lot of people were canceling (I know I was considering). The signs seem to point to them trying to salvage things.

They offer the free month all the time I think, I know this isn't the first time I went to cancel and got a free month.

Still not "official" yet. Nothing about it being the new permanent home for BB. Nothing about any prize money difference either.

The first article actually says it is confirmed from a reliable source that this will not replace the Summer seasons on CBS

Well they are going another direction with All Access, basically making it into CBS-Netflix where they can put original programming, rather than airing it on network TV. Its sort of just a general trend in how people watch their shows, and CBS is trying to get ahead of it to stay with the times so they don't get lost in the shuffle as more and more people watch less and less cable TV.
