My only regret is that only one of Tyler, Cody, and Memphis can be second. Nicole beating Tyler is actually my ideal ratfuck scenario but I don't see how she beats anyone unless she goes on an epic comp run.

I find it impossible to read the jury at this stage. Most of them are already in there and they're all so effective at self delusion and have their own version of events that I have no idea how they'll interpret things. A lot of it is just gonna come down to who backstabs who. Like case in point, its not gonna happen but a lot of people have their hopes up that Cody, Nicole, Tyler, or Enzo will win the POV, backdoor Christmas and evict her. They won't but if they did she'd be FURIOUS at Cody, whoever used the POV, and whoever she thought was in on it and evicted her. But like that actually puts Dani in an accidently great position outside the core. Even though Dani really wants Christmas out. But if Dani could play like she has with Ian and Day it could be a 3rd straight week of her cozying up to the evictee who was pissed at the others. Again, I don't think that's gonna happen but that's the kind of deal I think we have now. Conversely Dani could win the next HOH and target Christmas and then Dani hates Christmas but like Tyler or Nicole plays nice with her. It all comes down to who makes what move. Everyone's gonna get backstabbed from this stage on so its gonna come down to who has their hands on the knives. Or they could all be like Ian and just weirdly be cool with being backstabbed as long as it wasn't the inferior players who did it.

That's definitely a thing. Jury Management is basically about making the jurors feel better about losing and sometimes all a juror wants is to feel like their team won and the other guy lost. But since everyone NOT in the douchebag alliance is already evicted it really only is a factor if somehow David or Kevin get to the end. And if they pull that off I could see them just winning AFP as a big "gently caress you" to the Committee. I like BB for the same reason I like sports. Its inconsequential stuff I can care too much about. I can care deeply and passionately when its fulfilling and I can just walk away and stop caring when its gotten to be too much. There are 7 douchebags. 6 of them will be disappointed and mad. That's good odds. Its all about perspective.

Yes you're absolutely right. And honestly I kinda remember last year was devastatingly boring and bad but it turns out I'm basically over the heartbreak immediately after the finale ends. BB is dead, long live BB.

Yeah, I'm like kinda mad when Jackson wins but then forget he exists for 8 months until the new season starts and someone's like "We should have more great players like Jackson" and then I vaguely remember that terrible person I hated so much for a short time. Even this season I was like "Oh, Cody. Yeah I'm interested to see how he does without Derrick. He's not Paulie." to "loving Cody. I forgot how much I hated him. At least its not Paulie." in like 2 days.

They really should have just done a new cast this year and waited until the pandemic ended to do an All Stars season. We probably would have had a lot better cast when nobody is worried about COVID.

Cody won OTEV. David won 10K. Everyone’s super mad at him. Tyler won money in the HOH and no one’s mad at him. Hmm. Dani: I don’t want to vote for him (David) to stay. Memphis: I don’t either. Christmas: I want to talk to Cody. It's not my decision. Dani: We vote. Christmas: Cody is HoH. New School.

Mostly I don't think you're gonna get a lot of informed, defined politics from BB HGs. They're celebrity obsessed and shallow people. And this crew are hyper aware of the cameras being veterans. Like Janelle's a libertarian who took her kids to BLM marches. BB HGs like most Americans are gonna be a confusing mix of ideas and ignorance based on personal experiences and life goals. But I'd sort of say David is furthest left, Cody is furthest right, and everyone else is somewhere in the poorly defined "moderate" scale. Kevin's been open to a lot of what David, Day, and Bay have said about BLM and LGBTQ stuff but doesn't seem terribly informed. Memphis and Christmas seem to veer right with some sketchy behavior towards the POC but they had some fairly "liberal" conversations with Kaysar. Tyler of course invoked BLM to Day, Bay, and the show but also told others that if Bay "brought up race" he was quitting. Dani strikes me as fairly liberal. She fought Cody on his dumb Covid denial and a few of his dumb Fox News views here or there. Cody is a prototypical Fox News viewer from a family that watches Fox News as a family event. I have no idea what Nicole thinks of anything beyond herself. Enzo has never had a serious non game/family conversation in that house but he seems like he's got issues with women. David's probably the furthest left person left in the house but he's not exactly coherent or well stated.

Well if I’m gonna hate watch a show I might as well choose my favorite to be the person not voting for a criminal. Go Dani! (Since David has no chance)

Look at this rear end in a top hat. https://twitter.com/Tooms_BB/status/1310654856667910144 Full disclosure, my two biggest obsessions in this world are baseball and horror so like a good BB season would struggle to hold my attention going forward but this season? I’m probably just gonna naturally check out. I’ve already pretty much dropped my habits of checking up on it. Sorry, guys. My obsessions are seasonal and BB came too late in the year. Whatever. This dude is gonna win All Stars or something. I guess its in keeping with Boogie’s win. Can’t wait to see him come back and coach some newbies with his brilliant strategy and wisdom. https://twitter.com/Tooms_BB/status/1310696359956066304

Is there really 30 more days of this? I stopped watching in week 2, and have only been getting updates through this thread. I really hope the producers are paying attention to the fan reaction and (hopefully?) the tanking tv ratings/live feed watchers...

Dr Will told the HGs to think "not 1 step ahead, not 2, but 3." So they know its gonna be a Triple Eviction. So if you were hoping for chaos and shock or for someone to try and make a big move in the double only for it to backfire in the triple, ah well. This is BB22. My guess is that will increase the odds of David going in the Double because no one will want to make a big move and then have it immediately come back on them.

The one "good" thing about this season being a bust is they will almost certainly pump out more BB before next summer now that they have production worked out so we should get a do-over soon enough. Julie already teased a new Celebrity back at the start of this season in some interview. If Survivor really is grounded for a year maybe they can do a Survivor alumni edition in the Spring. Looking forward to that with its inevitable Final 2 of Jeff Varner and Dan Spilo.

"Celebrity" Big Brother is awful and I'd rather they just competently cast a new regular season. Or just crank out more Challenge, which actually had a great gimmick last season.

Ehh it works for the challenge because your fate is in your own hands in the elimination. It wouldn’t be as effective in a show where you vote for who goes home.

At this point, as much as it pains me to say it, they need to cancel Big Brother. 5 years in a row of dogshit seasons shows the game is broken. Just bury it.

Maybe it's time to swap back to the original format where America votes people out. Maybe don't tell the contestants this until a few weeks in.

Only problem with that is they'd have to make up vote counts to hide the twist, and that could be problematic. Now, maybe there's some virtue in no longer telling the house the vote count at all. Eliminates the hinky vote frame-up strategy that has been popular of late, as well as the pressure to vote with the house if you're in the minority. Hell, give the HoH a secret choice, where they can choose to push a button or something that will give them a prize but give the eviction power to America for that week, but they can't tell anyone else about it.

Dr. Will told them to "thing not 2 steps ahead, but 3." So they figured it out pretty quickly and it was just a case of whether they thought it was real or a tease. But they were very aware of the possability.

I mean its entirely possible they were directly told. We don't know what's said off feeds or in DR. Many believe the DR tips favored HGs off directly with explicit info. I tend to think the DR asks leading question like "can you trust your allies?" and "what do you think will happen on Thursday?" and we ignore the 99% of it that just breeds paranoia and false predictions and zero in on when they get it right as evidence that they were tipped off. But really we have no idea. They COULD tip them off. Who knows? But in this case Will gave them a clue and they've all discussed the possibility. Some are simply more sure than others and I think that probably splits on lines of who feels comfortable and who feels nervous.

Dani's BB BFF won HOH. Everyone in the house is happy about this, which means someone's gonna be real mad. I have no idea what Cody will do. He SHOULD do Tyler/Christmas. It would seem crazy to put up Nicole, Enzo, or Memphis. But Cody is a coward who never planned for the hard part of the game so I dunno.
