This was done last year when they brought the Pressure Cooker comp back. Amazing reunion! Good updates from a few houseguests for one of the BEST seasons ever. I’ve also been reading tidbits of the Big Brother bible. Some unfortunate updates as well, Roddy was in a pretty serious hockey accident that left him disabled.

A few years ago I went through a phase of watching some of the older US series... I did like 6,10-14 (I think). Then started 15 and aborted as 90% of the HMs were horrific
 With 26 starting I thought i'd go back and watch some more older series' - so started Series 23 this eve... Frenchie is such a messy HOH - promising everything to everyone and then constantly backtracking as everyone starts talking to each other/ swapping info. He started with good intentions, but he's exhausting to watch - its a good start though! |

BB15 was my first season!
 Extremely problematic in a variety of ways and it was handled so badly. I didn't not enjoy the season as a whole away from those elements though - Elissa, Helen, Candice, etc were great to root for albeit out too early.15 to 22 is a bit of a bumpy ride on the whole. Obviously I enjoyed it all to some extent but I think 15 shone a particular light on how the likes of racists are handled in the show (and I don't think this was really improved on until season 25...), and 16 particularly ushered in the newer era of Big Brother, where gameplay is often safer. Among this period I really liked season 20. 21 and 22 felt like particular low points on the other hand. 23 was the start of things improving though, and it's surely no coincidence that this was when CBS' policy of reality shows having a cast made up of at least 50% minority ethnicities came into effect. It's not been without issues since then but 23-25 were definitely big steps in the right direction, and 26 is off to a flying start so far! |

I recently wrapped up my first BB15 Rewatch. I was so hesitant because it doesn't have a good reputation and rewatching it again was challenging.
It for me is a completely skipable season still. Terrible winner, there was some great gameplay and good players but completely tarnished by Aaryn. I would agree the 15-22 Era can be challenging. It's almost like the eras are: Season 1-7: Old School Season 8-14: Golden Era (except Season 9) Season 15-21: Problematic Era Season 22-Current: Fan Era Honestly CBS did a lot of learning between Season 15-21. I always call it the Problematic Era. Season 15 speaks for itself. Season 16 is a must watch season for sure. The season doesn't come without its own challenges (Caleb). Season 17 had Audrey who I think they really mishandled. Season 18 had Paulie and Frank. Season 19 they were all terrible humans, CBS should have never given a platform to Cody (and lesser so, Jessica) I hate that she's seen as someone who should return. Dump your backwards husband and we will talk. Season 21 should never be mentioned ever again and will be a season I will never re-watch. Honestly we needed Seasons 15-21 to happen for CBS to commit to diversity casting and we're finally in the era where they are casting REAL fans of the show. Seasons 9, 15 and 21 are by far the worst BB Seasons. However, honestly. Season 9 can be an interesting rewatch at times

I just finished a rewatch for Big Brother Australia Season 9. This was the first season of the “Reboot” after being cancelled by Channel 10.
The launch was a complete disaster, fake crowd sounds - but they fixed that by the next live show. They also kept the Big Brother house at Dreamworld, but I felt they never really leaned into this like Channel 10 did. This was the first time I’ve rewatched the season since it aired. Honestly there were a handful of Housemates I forgot about. Charne, Sarah, Ava but the one that stood out to me was Angie. I had no memory of her at all, and that was a surprise because she was a central figure in that house and lasted 70 days. I think with Angie, she had no storyline for herself whatsoever. She was loud, very out there.. but, never actually had a storyline and just jumped on what everyone else was doing. Sarah for me likely one of the worst BBAU Housemates of all times. George was insanely boring but THANK GOD for the Vote to Save because he was TOAST his first eviction. There were two that stood out to me as completely useless housemates. They were Stacey and Zoe. Stacey for me really looked like she was going to be a central figure in the house, but you come to find out she has zero personality at all and her jokes really were not all that funny. Everyone in the house just seemed to think Stacey’s popularity on the outside was insane, but in reality she never actually made the daily show for WEEKS. First time nominated. Toast. Zoe however was a completely different story. While Stacey would pop up randomly from time to time, Zoe did not exist in the Daily Episodes until probably the 2nd last week in the house. The only two things she brought to the house for the first two months was her creepy crush on Michael and her self-esteem issues. I was convinced that Production hated both Zoe and Stacey and edited them out on purpose. Zoe started becoming more of a central figure in the house the last two weeks. Mostly centred around Michael finding out he had feelings for Estelle. Michael I thought had a good runway to the Final but botched it those last few weeks with his fake relationship with Estelle. I think he could have come 3rd at least had he not gone down that dreadful storyline. Josh was likely the obvious winner this season, but I Was surprised how late in the season he departed after the death of his Brother. He left on Day 60 of 87 and probably would have won had his brother not passed. Still such a sad thing to go through. Estelle um. I did not like Estelle. The house hated her which meant the public LOVED her. Especially the young viewers. She just seemed like such an enigma in there. Layla alright I didn’t much care for Layla either she just came across as extremely lazy and showmance driven. I hate rewarding housemates stupidity and she doesn’t have the same charm as say, someone like Jade (BBUK). There was a point mid-season where she just completely went off Benjamin and didn’t speak with him for two weeks and it just was quite annoying to watch. I’m glad she didn’t win and I thought 2nd was a bit of a stretch for Layla. Benjamin the rightful winner of the season! I see so much of myself in Benjamin. Direct, funny, outgoing. Great at giving advice, great at listening and wasn’t ever afraid to put his two cents in. Mid-Season a few of the Housemates started going off him a bit (Sam, Layla, Estelle) basically for talking behind peoples back ect. The beginning of the season was great. Good boot order, the only one I wish would have stayed a bit longer was Ray and Bradley should have gone a lot earlier. The house started becoming a bit more toxic after Josh left, he was definitely the glue that held the house together. I don’t think I’ve seen that much tension in the house in the final weeks on BBAU. They honestly got so annoyed with each other. The end of the season was a bit of a drag, they really should have put a double eviction in there someone. The Vote to Win started on Day 77 of the 87 day series. They really should have had one more round of Nominations. Again - great winner. Okay series, but worth the rewatch. Ranking: 01: Benjamin 02: Ray 03: Josh 04: Sam 05: Estelle 06: Layla 07: Michael 08: Stacey 09: Angie 10: Ryan 11: Zoe 12: George 13: Charne 14: Ava 15: Sarah 16: Bradley This post has been edited by Aaron.: 12th August 2024, 02:37 PM |
