Yeah, they artificially inflate these super long seasons with some buybacks or week cancels.

What an awful season. I would love for the big twist for next season to be: no twists! Just let everyone play Big Brother every single week. No need for any zombies, or any ‘invincibility powers’ producing a situation where someone voted out like 12-0 wins the season

Jag is apparently plotting to take Bowie to final 2 They are also plotting sleep deprivation and psychological "warfare" tactics on Felicia for some reason I haven't watched the show as it's aired since the double

On tonight's show Jag and Matt putting all their candy in the other's bowls and Bowie putting all her candy in Jag and Matt's bowls because they're "a team" and then being sad when she's tied for the least amount of candy is such a perfect metaphor for the season it couldn't have been written better.

The veto comps this season have been crazily high budget, we've come a long way from ping pong paddles and who can make a pb&j sandwich the fastest from the early seasons

The challenges have been terribly distributed. Something's wrong when one person wins them all. Felicia's pocket food should have been good for a veto at least.

You should listen to Tiffany’s weekly winners circle podcast where she just shits all over this season for 30 minutes. That plus this thread are how I keep up enough to pretend I know what’s going on when My son is watching

Pillowpants posted:What is the probability Felicia wins because of bitter jury? If she actually gets there she might have a decent shot, I can see a number of them voting to spite Jag or Bowie. Cory already specifically said he didn't like the strategy of buoying one's game solely based on comp wins. But it seems like she'll have to rely on the good graces of Bowie Jane or Jag to not take each other to the end, which is pretty unlikely.

Just some all around dumb gameplay going into the end. Jag booted Felicia last night, leaving the final three him, Matt and Bowie Jane. Matt then won the first part of the final HOH. Julie has also teased some time of Winter BB surprise, with the leading theory being a shorter "legends" season to help cover the content drought due to the still ongoing SAG strike break.

Well the show has wrapped for the season with the finale tonight. Matt and Jag competed for final HOH with a tiebreaker determining Jag as the winner. He booted Bowie Jane, leaving he and Matt to compete for the win. Jag got five votes, with Felicia and Cirie the only votes for Matt. Somehow Cameron got AFP. lol Jag is an okay winner, but I have to lol that he only stayed in the game before of a twist which saved him and probably would have went if Bowie Jane wasn't a horrible player.

Somehow Cameron got AFP. lol Cameron was protected more than I've ever seen almost anyone on Big Brother protected. They cut the feeds anytime anyone talked about how weird and creepy Cameron was and he got the goodest-good-ol-boy edit on the episodes. Julie also announced the "BB Reindeer Games" in December, which is literally all challenges, will run for 6 episodes, and doesn't require them to actually live in the house. She said one of the BB25 houseguests would be competing in that, and the current suspicion is that Cameron was tapped to do so. Sometime after his zombie revival but before his final eviction he was having a really lovely day, went into Diary Room for a while, then came out smiling like he'd just been handed a fat check. The folks on RHAP talked about that, and a lot of other stuff, after the finale aired on the east coast. It's worth idly listening to while you're doing other stuff imo; Taran & Melissa in particular are very astute and kept me sane through the very frequent low points of this season: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqaKebqv0Tk Pillowpants posted:Dan and Janelle were openly discussing about going on a legends season on Twitter , and Cody/Derek did the same on the podcast. Dan and Janelle are keeping real busy this year between this and the other show they're on, I guess.

I have to decide if this show is for me anymore because that felt like 100 days of wasted time (well, more like 56, the first half of the game was great). Jag is undoubtedly the worst winner to me and reinforces a horrible precedent that competition wins and twists are all you need when that isn't Big Brother to me. He lost the game already. Matt fumbled the jury questions quite badly but Jag's speeches were loud and wrong. And now we're getting a legends season but it's a Christmas special based on competitions? THANK GOD THE STRIKE IS OVER.

I don't know where to start this but I started watching BB Australia and the 2 men I find the most attractive is weird because my husbands brothers are Jake & Josh. Do it is kind of weird that I find not just one but both of them with those names.

Big Brother Reindeer Games has started and it’s surprisingly decent? Basically a mini-All Stars without them living in the house. It’s more tilted towards comps and not the traditional HOH/Noms structure, but there’s been a lot of strategy between competitions as they hang out in the house and talk shop about how to organize for the different types of comps and penalize some players with some of the comp reward powers. It kind of amounts to a week of BB in a single episode, with an initial comp to give one person some power, a bigger comp to determine who is up for elimination and finally an elimination comp. Sprinkled with strategy talk between comps and DRs from reliably good DR people. The players:

I randomly watched an episode tonight and was like fine with it until a bunch of people said “someone threw you under the bus!” and everyone worked into a frenzy over what seemed like a pretty straightforward situation. It made me laugh but also reminded me why I stopped watching. But good to know “under the bus” is still part of the house zeitgeist.

Reindeer Games rocks, actually, watch it? This episode was a pressure cooker in the best way. Britney's absolute devastation turned to complete and utter confusion as she had the best time of anyone on the wheel was absolutely incredible.

That competition structure was pretty awesome? I don't think I've seen anything exactly like that on the show before. I mean it's had knock-out comps, but not like this exactly. It would be really fun to see a solo challenge take on it in a full season. Not sure how they would be able to utilize it though, a special week where the HOH is only safe, and the rest of the house has to do this kind of challenge to determine who goes? It kinds of works for this show because there's a lot of solid challenge players, so maybe that would not be as fun when you have a lot of normal season schlubs.

Reindeer Games has actually been loving fantastic, which was the last thing I expected. The players are making interesting decisions every episode, the decisions have social consequences, and the challenges are better and more interesting than the dogshit we got in 25. The cast is great and of course Britney is killing it in the DR. I can't wait for the next episode. They've done something pretty great here so far.

I decided to check out Reindeer Games from the beginning. Christmas and nostalgia. Something woke up in me. Anyway still hate Frankie and very amused that everyone’s intro is “I won Season X” and “I was America’s Favorite” and his is literally “I’m Ariana Grande’s brother.” E: it’s genuinely fun to see Danielle and Brittany in DRs again. E2: For the life of me I can’t remember why I hate Cody. I know why I hate Paulie. I know Cody was part of the last cliche bully gaslighting house majority I watched. I know he oozes Jersey douche. I know he’s the family that watches Fox News together for family time. But I can’t remember a thing Cody did besides flirt with people. But watching Frankie feed his ego with “they’re scared of you because you won” when most of this house has won is starting to remind me.

Certainly seems like Cody isn't a fox news person anymore?

So I see how Taylor won a season. She seems like an incredibly well rounded player who is also super charming and likable. Even Nicole was crushing on her. And Xavier is obviously a comp beast and seems like a totally likable dude. And I find his lack of a discernible personality charming and comforting. I feel represented. But how did this Cameron dude win AFP? He just seems like a goober. Anyway that was a solid bit of Christmas nostalgia. Hopefully it doesn’t trick me into watching again. Luckily it’s like 8 months away? So should forget it well before then.
