there needs to be a balance between good gameplay and entertainment, and if we’re getting good gameplay but predictable moves, it ain’t a good sight. i’m Sorry, but someone has to say it

100%! I'm watching BB6 atm and the difference is astounding, I know each series should be taken at face value because the dynamics are going to be different but I really miss series when there'd actually be a power struggle. That series had Janelle's side vs Maggie's side, both with really strong players who had different strengths, all taking shots at each other. Granted, not everyone there was hugely likeable or rootable but the good thing about this format is that the power struggles and dynamics can be really entertaining even if you don't like half of the house or more because it's about the psychology and the interactions. This season has none of that now, it's just a predictable of boring steamroll of 3 people I struggle to care much about. It's similar to BB16 for me, not altogether awful but when it's so predictable it goes against everything that makes BB so good.

We've got a hideously boring showmance where one half has had no pressure to get to this point (admittedly, he played an absolute blinder socially up until jury and now his jury management has been terrible) and the other is one of the most unlikeable HGs ever, we've got a coaster who happened who have the right alliance with admittedly a very good social game and we've got Raven II plus someone who has barely played a lick of game apart from a personally motivated HOH reign. I won't play down Tyler's game because he played such a blinder up to about jury but, whilst I know it isn't their fault that they were put in with such shite players, I struggle to call him, Angela or Kaycee great players because quite frankly they've barely had to fight for it. Kaycee has played the best game I think because she's the only one who hasn't made stupid mistakes, Tyler has been much worse in jury stage and Angela has blown any chance of winning but being vile to virtually the whole jury. Kaycee hasn't played the most exciting game, it's sure as hell not very entertaining, but she thought about the long run and laid low when she needed to and won comps when she needed to. Tyler has maybe played a bit too hard by making all his final 2s and deals, and so it's coming back to bite him now he's having to betray Brett and JC (and Sam? icr if they had a final 2). Angela has definitely played too hard, wanting to be some ruthless ice queen but just being a bitch and alienating all of jury. If she is final 2 with Tyler, I can see it being unanimous, and maybe only Tyler voting her if it's her and Kaycee
