So there wasn't that much press about the show that I could find after the finale, but I discovered that Steve found out BB production gave Liz help during part two of the final HOH. Liz is disappointed about people not liking Liztin, but they will "probably stay together for at least a little while." Vanessa said her crying episodes were associated with her menstrual cycle.

Her crying episodes happened once a week though?

The last crossword clue Liz was stuck on. She swore she wasn't in the house when the event occurred (she was swapped with Julia) and wouldn't know the answer. Production told her over the loudspeaker that she was indeed in the house at that time but Liz still couldn't get it. Production eventually told Liz what the answer was (likely after Liz had passed Steve's time). It's enough of a conspiracy that the feeds dropped to fish at the mere mention of it after Liz told Steve.

It's probably why Liz and Steve's times were so close during the reveal. Once Liz was passed Steve's time Production just told her the answer so they could end the comp and move on with their lives.

Quite an interesting hook with BB Canada Season 4. They've opened a public vote to four international players, two will get in the house:

He looks like a Zoolander character now.

I was excited to see that Tim from BBAU was an option, but once I saw that he was up against Jase... I feel like nearly any BBUS player is going to be a shoe-in.

I do still fondly remember the look on Jase's face when the original twin twist was revealed. His whole game just crumbled in one fell swoop.

I don't know anything about BB Italy, but I am assuming BBUS is the only one with the same format as BBCan. Also I can't imagine BB Italy is very popular, I never see any mention of it, or torrents of its episodes

Jase was a huge tool and apparently still is though so I hope he loses to that somehow less tooly looking austrailian dude

His game was already pretty much over by then. The Twin twist reveal just threw more salt on it.

Yup! I'm rooting for Loveita, Sharry, and Mitchell after seeing the premiere. A lot of fans seem to dislike the brothers twist but I actually think it'll be fun, I like that it changes the game socially without loving with the rules of the game.

I like how bitter the one brother was that the other brother didn't win. I think the twist is mostly dumb and will end up resulting in them getting voted out early, but im down to see how it plays out

I don't think I like the brothers twist since it's so horribly unfair to them. It reminds me of Eric Stein being saddled with PLAYING FOR AMERICA. He seemed like he could have done awesome things if he was allowed to actually loving play.

Apparently, the Australian guy is something of a legend so fingers crossed that he'll make it on. I am not looking forward to that British lady though, since there's no chance the Italian gets voted in.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

TyrantWD posted:

Yeah. They tried to boot Jase once or twice and he kept winning the POV so Nakomis was the first to come up with the "backdoor strategy" where they handpicked all six POV players and guaranteed Jase was screwed. That's when BB changed the rules so those last 3 picks are random.

Then two seasons later in All Stars Jase got backdoored again as colateral damage in the Sovereign 6 vs Chill Town cold war and he absolutely lost his mind over it. I actually really felt bad for the guy and would have loved to see him get a clean shot again. But its been a decade so who knows what he would be like now?

Tim (Australia) is actually a very similar sort of player to Jase. They're both loud and obnoxious alpha males who can be funny but can also be really annoying at times. Even though Australia plays by the UK "fans vote people out" rules Tim actually kind of played a US/Canada like game with a lot of backstabbing, scheming, and betraying friends if he thought it would help his game. If Tim had played in US/Canada I think he probably would have suffered the same fate Jase did. People would have liked him but he would have gotten booted because he was just too difficult to live with and played too aggressively. But it would be interesting to test that hypothesis.

I saw this and was pretty sure they are getting kicked out right away. It's a lovely twist as they can' make any alliance until they break them up to be two players later on in a shocking twist.

Tim is totally my pony, though I don't know how he'll do given the popularity contest that is Big Brother Australia. He'll be viewed as having experience, but I'm not sure how relevant his experience actually is due to the drastically different formats. But yeah, he was awesome in BBAU. I hope Nikki goes home soon, don't know for how long I can stand her.

I just hope this season doesn't become a "wild card" clusterfuck like last season. Disrupting strategy through constant surprises based on pure luck is the worst part of Big Brother, and BBCAN has historically been even worse about it than the US Big Brother.

Also the brothers were so god drat smooth right at the beginning by pretending to not know each other; I'd have loved to see that play out. Would have been much more interesting than the 2 in 1 that puts a huge target on them.

It is BBCAN, and on top of that it's a casino-themed season... I wouldn't hold out hope.
