Edit:

@1827891053027877358 I thought it was Joseph maybe :lol: They coulda put that twist on the back burner tho

@1827709581730177446 The ABBA Generation Vinyl out September 30th, Preorder available now!

Death and Romance was absolutely everything. Vampire in the Corner was the only one that didn’t click in for me right away, until that last minute.

Nominations:

My ideal scenario last night was Brooklyn winning AI ARENA and Cam going over Chelsie. He’s just so useless and I want him gone.

I’ve only heard Espresso a few times in passing, but overall this album is very good! Espresso into Dumb & Poetic made no sense to me however, the track listing could have used a bit of work, but a lot here to enjoy. Summer smash album released in fall you go gurl!

01: Tucker 02: T'Kor 03: Quinn 04: Angela 05: Kimo 06: Rubina 07: Makensy 08: Joseph 09: Leah 10: Chelsie 11: Cam Not much movement, it continues to be the Tucker show. It's been so long since we've had someone with this much charisma do so well in the game and in the competitions. He's like a better version of Hardy. With that being said, it would be remarkable if anyone doesn't take the shot next week. T'kor really isn't in a position where she needs to win HOH at all, she's good with both sides of the house right now and is in no immediate danger. Quinn did exactly what he should have done this week, shown some loyalty to Tucker and got himself off the block. The earlier he realizes that the Pentagon is dead, the better. Angela I can't believe she's still there and remarkably in a few situations likely not going to go home. OMG is Angela the Taylor Hale of the season?! Kimo and T'Kor together are a dream. They're almost like Kevin/Natalie from BB11 but obviously much better. Both can easily play both sides of the house, but they need to find some way in the next few weeks to still appear as active gameplayers and not floaters. Joseph is another one that will just continue to fly under the radar. He's basically the Steve (BB17) of the season and I kinda need him to do something soon. Cam is the most boring person on the planet and I wish he would have gone this week.

Peacock has a 3-part mini series titled Face to Face with Scott Peterson It is a American documentary series directed and produced by Shareen Anderson and Po Kutchins. It follows the Murder of Laci Peterson, with Scott Peterson giving his first interview in decades, and developments on his case. I binged this last night, very similar to the Casey Anthony documentary they did last year.

This started, it’s off to an okay start.. but with a preseason special and no elimination that first episode I’ll look for them to eliminate the first eight in the next episode. Why are Theo and Paulie at each others throats again? Dirty 30 was 10-seasons ago and your feud isn’t that deep. They’ve both gone thru some very challenging times… just drop it already. Especially Paulie. So many challenge couples now too it’s hard keeping up. I probably should have watched Season 39.

@1825593925152960589 I’m here for Mary v Meredith!!

This year is so unbelievably underwhelming

has won the power of veto!

@1824288505432092803 Awe Cedric :cry: he’s 100% on lock as a returning player.

Last night was absolutely epic. We've had some good changes in house dynamics in this "new era" but last night did feel like an old-school flip that we haven't seen in a while. Last night absolutely changed the dynamics of the game. Those that were on the top are now at the bottom. When the Pentagon was formed, I was a bit worried because I didn't like anyone in that group and I'm happy that the shot was successfully taken. 01: Tucker 02: T'Kor 03: Quinn 04: Makensy 05: Angela 06: Kimo 07: Brooklyn 08: Rubina 09: Leah 10: Joseph 11: Cam 12: Chelsie Quinn's deepfake HOH will go down as one of the worst reigns in Big Brother history. He targetted Angela, but she won HOH. He targetted Tucker, but he won Veto. He targetted Makensy, but she won AI. He targetted Rubina and instead got one of his closest allies out. Doesn't get worse than that. However, I still think Quinn has a great runway in this game if he continues to play smart. I got the impression he was in the know that that move was going to be taken and is playing silently in the background. Great gameplay. Despite all the missed shots, he is in a good position still! Tucker, absolute stud once again. He's turned the charm on again and he's bringing in the right allies. T'Kor I'm so happy her and Kimo woke up and decided to play BIG BROTHHHHHERRRR!! This list is very fluid, I'm surprised I have Chelsie last because I do like her and I also feel she could continue to have a great runway in this game. I like everyone!!

OH MY GOD THIS EPISODE IS SO INTENSE. It’s incredible. 3-0 for Cedric to go right now!! HE’S GONE. THIS SEASON IS JUST OMG *.*

Tonight’s HOH will be an Endurance Comp that will play out on the feeds!

I'm not sure what the point was for Tuesday's episode, a random clip show so early in the season?! They didn't reveal anything about the upcoming twist so that was annoying. Also, why was it Jag, Taylor and Cody and not.. say.. Will/Jun and Dan. This season has been so old school BB Coded... why am I listening to Cody?! That whole episode could have been an email. I still think today's eviction could be in the air, I'm following BB Twitter and it sounds like Tucker. What a stud! He was absolutely toast this week if he didn't win that Veto. It's so refreshing to see a well made plan go sideways in the BB House. I don't have strong opinions on Rubina, I'm happy for her to leave if Makensy can stick around, show the same level of loyalty to Tucker + Team and win competitions. I could see Rubina winning things eventually but Makensy is likely the stronger choice to keep around to go after The Pentagon. I do need one of Quinn or Cedric out soon to take the heat off Tucker. Honestly, I think Quinn is the more moldable player that may actually work with Tucker if it benefits him. Quinn isn't as insulated as Cedric is and I could see Quinn offering a week or two of safety to Tucker if it makes sense. They could be good shields for each other, but Cedric needs to go. For me I'd like to see Tucker, Makensy, Joseph, T'Kor, Kimo and Leah team up. It's really tight right now. The next HOH is critical. I'm kinda hoping they just end the 3-Nominees/AI Arena this week. Not sure what this AI Instigator power is, likely if the Public is voting it will goto Tucker. BB Twitter seems to think it will be similar to Team America/Sabateour twist. Is Angela eligible for the next HOH? I'd love for her to win again and put up Quinn/Cedric or Quinn/Brooklyn :lol:

I couldn’t stomach finishing Season 6, however Netflix is releasing Season 7 starting September 11th.

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 :lol: 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

I really feel like CBS should have moved to 90-Minute Episodes pre-jury. There are so many houseguests where I'm like ??? who are you. I'd probably stan for Brooklyn but she's been so invisible on the show. We're now 11-Episodes in and I know nothing more about a handful of these housemates than I did when they entered. The pacing for the first few weeks always has been a challenge however. The edit of course could always be better, but I feel with more time in each episode they could start building out a bit more of a storyline. Post-Jury. Probably not needed, especially towards the end.
