August 3, 20231 yr Author I still can’t believe it’s Cirie :lol: Especially after the year she has had, she’s a big target.. but I think she will be able to hold on for a few weeks at least. I don’t think my opinions on many have changed. I definitely like Matt a lot more. Red and Bowie Jane can go at anytime however. I’m doing a draft pick with a friend, we picked 2 tonight and have to pick another two before the episode on Thursday. I went with Mecole and Hisam. I’m thinking of drafting either Blue, Matt, Jared or Cory.. but.. maybe he’s not the best choice :lol: Cirie is also an option, but I think Jared now has a big advantage without any target at all.

August 3, 20231 yr Author Expanded thoughts on the Premiere and adjusted thoughts on a few, and of course adding Cirie! Spoilerish - I haven't watched any of the feeds, but staying on top of a few things on Twitter/X. The Premiere: I found it so odd that they just kept them outside of the house for so long, just to send them in as groupings anyways. I also hate these Live First Day Competitions and would like to see this end for the future. Also - 3/4 nominees being BLACK. I know CBS definitely did not intend for this to happen :lol: - honestly, just give us an HOH next year and we will be good. The Twist: That video was so CRINGE with Britney/Danielle/Frankie. Even the housemates were like WTF is happening. All of that just to not have them play? Lame. Also, that twist really had no impact to the first night at all. Obviously this is just a Season Twist that will impact the game further down the road.. but.. what was the point of all of this Night One? I hope this twist has good long term benefits, because I've seen Big Brother drop their season twists before (ie. the season with Gronk. BBCAN and the season with the Doors etc) Top Picks Of The Moment: 01: Cirie - Obviously. I'm still in awe that she is on this season! She does stand out like a sore thumb in the house, but I think she has what it takes socially to stay safe for a few weeks. It will be up to her to build the right relationships and alliances to make it to Jury. I have no doubts Cirie will play the heck out of this game. So excited to see her on the feeds!! 02: Hisam - Very very good first impression for me. He is one of my top picks so far this season. I think he will do well Socially and Competitively. I want another Michael and I think he may be able to deliver. 03: Jag - He's going to be one of my Sleeper Picks I can tell already. I'll be honest he didn't stand out too much, but I did see a beautiful conversation posted between him and Kirsten talking about is turban, occasions he would wear what. This is what I want to see on Big Brother. 04: Mecole - Yes! One of my Top 2 Draft Picks. I'll have to see how she does Socially in the house. However, she is already a Meme Queen on Twitter!! 05: Blue - I love her already. Strong VT. Personality for days. I think if she can make the right relationships in the house she will go far. Mid Tier: 06: Jared - Obviously he is going to have a huge advantage having his Mother in the game. He doesn't have the target on his back either. I think he is set up really well - however I think socially he may be one of the weaker players. He seems a bit submissive and a bit overly transparent (poor poker face). I think he needs a bit more moulding to be successful this season. But... he has his mother to help him out here lol. 07: Matt - Has gone up a LOT based on my first impression. He likely could be one of my Draft Picks. I think he will do fantastic Socially, Strategically. He's very likeable. Perhaps could be seen as a big threat down the road tho. 08: Izzy - As a gay man I immediately want to root for Izzy. However, Izzy isn't going to be a top pick of mine and likely not drafted into my Top 4 Picks. It seems like she's playing a bit too hard right off the bat. She's very openly forming close 1:1 relationships with people and I think this is going to be a problem for her. Her vibe is a bit chaotic at the moment and I just want her to take a chill pill and fall into the crowd for the first few weeks. I think she's going to be a target coming up. Unfortunately. 09: America - Alright I'll admit she kinda killed that first competition!? She didn't really stand out too much for me with her VT. I'm excited to see what she brings, but I think she will continue to be a Mid-Tier Player for me. 10: Cory - He's dropping down a bit from my first initial impression. It doesn't help that he's nominated, and disappeared (I'm not even sure if he's back in the house yet ???). Plus - no mention of his Brother? I felt like the buildup was better than what we got for Cory. 11: Kirsten - another brilliant casting choice and one of my friends Top 2s. I think she will do well, I want to see more! 12: Felicia - Alright not a very good first hour lol. I want to stan, but, I need to see more. 13: Luke - he is one that has gone up slightly based on my initial thoughts, but not by much. 14: Reilly - She did go up for me based on my first impression as well. Socially I was actually impressed with her, she has a fun, bubbly personality. If she can stay OUT of a Showmance, I may throw some support behind her, but hardly a top contender for me at this point. Bottom Half: 15: Cameron - Just kinda comes across as fluff for me. Like that hair. 16: Red - I'm still an absolute no here. SHAVE HIM. GET RID OF THAT HAIR. GET RID OF THAT BEARD. NOW. 17: Bowie - I. Do not like her. At all. Overall - solid start! I wish they would do things a bit differently for the Launch with the Twists and Competitions. I'm not sure if I'll dip into the feeds at all this year, but I'm leaning into possibly watching some of the feeds this year.
August 3, 20231 yr Author @1687019153625124864 She checked him lol. I can absolutely see one of the two of them winning. I’m manifesting another Dick/Daniele final.
August 3, 20231 yr What is the long hair hate going on in here x (not that Red doesn't seem very annoying so far x) I'm so excited to watch Cirie play Big Brother!! I've never watched Survivor but I know her from The Traitors and she was phenomenal :cheeseblock:
August 3, 20231 yr Author He looked like an 8/10 without the hair and beard tho! 3.309 Million watched live last night, #1 show and .67 in the 18-49 demo. Actually one of the least watched premieres, but I doubt they care about that. Probably 5-6 Million by weeks end with streaming.
August 4, 20231 yr I never did watch The Traitors and totally forgot Cirie was on there, obviously hoping she does well here too! Cautiously optimistic about the rest of the cast, I don't think first impressions are very helpful on this show so I'll give it another week at least. I think I'm here for the multiverse twist so far?
August 6, 20231 yr It’s super evident that the BB fandom has a MASSIVE blindspot when it comes to anti-Asian racism when Blue is labeled a flop and a disappointment for playing messy yet Kirsten gets a free pass for spiraling the first two days 🙄
August 7, 20231 yr When I tell y'all the first three days were much more chaotic (Kirsten spiraling, Jared spiraling, Felicia mentioning Kirsten spiraling to Reilly, a good chunk of Cory's pitch, and Reilly later making several alliances with three people as a core) than what was shown...
August 8, 20231 yr Author I can’t say I’ve popped into the feeds too much this season - but from what I have seen this season is off to a great start. Seems like there are clear sides being formed, hopefully we get another BB6 with a split house! I’m still needing to pick the last few for my draft, I’m leaning towards: Mecole, Hasim, Jag and Matt.
August 9, 20231 yr Oh no don't get me wrong, this season has been FANTASTIC in terms of entertainment and gameplay and it's not even been a week. The house was split by day 3-4 but now both sides seems to have formed consistent cracks. Reilly's side has almost dissolved and it doesn't seem too peachy keen on Cirie's side either. This has been the most volatile season of Big Brother in almost a decade.
August 9, 20231 yr Author I FEEL LIKE I NEED MORE. That second episode was a bit lacklustre and I have no idea how they’re going to fit everything into 42 minutes for the episode tonight, but I am EXCITED. They really need to make the episodes 90-Minutes like Survivor and The Amazing Race. Speculation Post Veto I think it’s probably likely Kirsten will be the first one out. I’m not too disappointed if I’m being honest. I have no idea how Reilly fumbled this HOH. She didn’t have to nominate anyone, or get any blood on her hands at all. But this girl seems STRESSED. I feel like she played her week way wrong right from the beginning and it’s starting to fall apart. ALSO DID LUKE JUST SAY THE N-WORD?! Eviction Cancelled!
August 9, 20231 yr Author @1689300752320049152 Gaining traction now - expel him and replace with Danielle Reyes PLEASE.
August 9, 20231 yr Author Brilliant! I wonder if they will let his twin play on (lol - something was going around that he was a twin, obviously not true). Cancel the eviction obviously. Make the next HOH an Endurance too. God it could get good I think!
August 9, 20231 yr I heard they gave the HGs jackets with their names on it with, some had the same color and some had different ones. Could there have been two teams of 9 and now production doesn't know what to do with them?
August 9, 20231 yr Author I heard they gave the HGs jackets with their names on it with, some had the same color and some had different ones. Could there have been two teams of 9 and now production doesn't know what to do with them? are they the same colours as the borders around the houseguests as they were nominated this week? Someone pointed out two colours to the borders with the houseguests pictures this year.. I haven’t looked into this any further however.
