Mark Vader Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Well, so much for that...Elissa has succeeded in annoying the hell out of me now, as well. I've never seen a cast on BB in all these years where I either disliked or was annoyed by every single cast member. I've also never seen a cast that was so intolerant of the fact that others may DARE to actually play the game. I don't get these people at all... Hopefully the episodes for BB Australia will be up on youtube just like the BBCanada episodes were, and then that cast will actually play the game like it's supposed to be played...this is getting lame. My sister is in complete agreement with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yea Elissa is a crack pot lol she isn't Rachel at all. I loved Rachel, I'm done voting for her to get MVP that's for sure. Helen and Judd get my votes now lol However how could you say that the bb Canada cast has played better then this seasons us cast ? Helen, Judd, Andy and McCree are playing real well. Do you not watch the live feeds?? That bb Canada cast all constantly made bad mistake after bad mistake other then the final 3 the others sucked.

ajzepp Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 You don't like Amanda? She's playing the game (albeit a bit forcefully at times). Well, Amanda, Howard, and Judd are in the group that I'm indifferent to, but I'm not rooting for any of them. Usually by this time of the season I've settled in on a favorite or two and I find myself rooting for them to get to the end, make big moves, etc. This year I just don't seem to really care. I still want to see the episodes, and I'm glad the ratings are going back up, but coming off BBCanada this season just pales in comparison. It's getting annoying that not ONE person in the house can STFU lol. These are like the anti-BB house guests, cause alliances crumble at the drop of a hat and nobody is legitimately loyal to anyone else. The closest thing to a loyal alliance would be Pizza Boy and Amanda, but PIzza Boy has been fully assimilated by his "Queen" and basically just sits around all day. In a way, I hope Amanda gets booted this week so this dork actually has to play the game. Well yea Elissa is a crack pot lol she isn't Rachel at all.

YOu really think Helen deserves MVP vote? Helen is completely intolerant of strategy and people playing the game. If she were using that as some sort of strategy, I'd be all for it, but she's clearly not. She wants all the girls to sit around having nail parties and talking about which color panties they're going to buy next time they go to the mall. She's an awful player, IMO. At least Judd has TRIED to get some things going...he has nothing but crap to work with, though, so I feel for the guy. I found the BBCan cast FAR more likable and diverse, for one. Gary always kept it interesting and that guy could be an animal at challenges. That hot little european firecracker who always drank too much was hilarious. Peter Brown was easily my favorite player...the guy was loving his time there and he was ALWAYS making moves behind the scenes. Jillian was a complete twat, so having her as to root against was great...when she paired up with Emmett it resulted in a much stronger alliance, so she immediately became a bigger threat. And hell, what's not to like about a talking moose head? Yeah, thus far I'd rank BBCan way above this season of BB USA. Still early, but you've already got some of the most active players out of the house...I'm not confident that the remaining players will really do anything all that great.

I agree with you on bb Canada however Peter and Alec !@#$ed their game play by turning on topaz not once but over and over which cost them their games. They weren't smart game players. Helen and Amanda have run the big brother house since day one. Everyone they want out are put up and are out. That's good gameplay. when you aren't In power and to make what you want to happen, happen is good game play. Nick, Jeremy and kaitlyn may have been good at comps (???) or could have been. All 3 had god awful social games and got them selves evicted. Kaitlyn could have saved herself this week but instead of listening to Elissa she attacks her. Like wtf?? Elissa tried to save her lol You clearly aren't watching the live feeds. Helen is by far the MVP. She will win the game. I dislike Aaron but she has turned her game around and has a chance to stay for a while. Jesse is a crappy, she needs to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dislike Aaron but she has turned her game around and has a chance to stay for a while. Jesse is a crappy, she needs to go. Yeah I don't watch the live feeds other than BBAD, which I hate this year since it's on a regular cable channel and not Showtime. It's ridiculous to have a live feed where you have to use a delay and mute the language...just put the damn thing back on a pay channel. I'll have to take your word on the helen thing, cause I have yet to see her do ANYTHING that would constitute strategy. All I've seen her do is cry, B word and moan about the "bad people", and how she wants to see a "good person" win the show...so I guess if you consider endless whining to others who are also fellow whiners who are easily butt hurt, then she's a brilliant Big Brother player and deserves to win the game lol. To me, she's a glorified floater, and if the make up of the house were different (i.e. fewer butt hurt whiners), we wouldn't even be having this discussion. Agree about the Topaz thing. That was clearly a huge mistake. I thought Topaz was far smarter than they gave her credit for, in addition to her "hubba hubba" good looks. Maybe Peter is closeted and felt threatened? I dunno...Topaz was awesome, though. I don't know if you listen to the Rob Cesternino podcast, but he has Peter on Sunday Nights and they have a great camaraderie...I enjoy those shows far more than when he has on Ian "I love to perv on women when they're in the shower and make inappropriate comments to them" Terry. Also agree about the social games of Jeremy, Nick and Kaitlyn...I just like having active players in the game, whether I like them or not. I hate when people just sit around, which is what I fear helen's master plan is. Jesse is crappy....agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurlyBurly51 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I agree Helen and Amanda are running the house at this point, which is why it would be stupid for Helen to protect Amanda. She'd probably run away with it, assuming Howard goes next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Looks like BB Australia starts tonight...I'll post a youtube vid of the first episode if I find a good quality one in case anyone else is interested in following that season. I've heard that BBUK and BBAUS are both really good, so looking forward to checking it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) Well, it just so happens that the BB start time in Australia is 5am EST here...so since I've been having a hard time sleeping, I figured I'd fire up the Sopcast link that someone posted on the Jokers forums. Watching episode 1 live as we speak...this is incredibly different than the US version. The audience is HUGE and you can hear them as they all watch the events together. The introduce the housemates one by one and watch as they enter the house for the first time. The BB house is SICK! It's absolutely massive. And they have a twist where the house is literally divided, splitting it into a "luxury" side and a "dingy" side. The dingy side has no hot water, small beds, and they can only eat stale bread and water apparently. The third housemate is entering now, but I'm about to head off to bed...hopefully youtube will have a nice quality episode 1 waiting for us later today. And also, how can BB Australia have HD cams for their show, yet the American version is still in the dark ages with the SD? Pretty lame, BB... Nite all PS...Housemate #3..."Tahan"...holy WOWZA!

Fezmid Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 And also, how can BB Australia have HD cams for their show, yet the American version is still in the dark ages with the SD? Pretty lame, BB... Agreed here - it's utterly ridiculous. Is BB the only show on a major network that isn't in HD yet? I don't understand what you mean about Helen though. She's been controlling the game - not sitting around and whining like you said. She just roped Aaryn in and forced her to nominate who she wanted. Isn't that the very definition of gameplay?

Isn't that the very definition of gameplay? Yeah, the Aaryn deal was an opportunistic move for her...no argument there. I'm glad she's now saying she wants to get rid of Elissa...WOW is she a flake. She has to be the dumbest player ever to be on this show. It's like her mom's Uterus was completely sucked dry when Rachel was in the oven, and the cupboard was totally barren once Elissa took up residence. It looks to me like Candace has taken over the crying role now...isolating herself because the world is evil and basking in her own misery...who cast this damn season???

Fezmid Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 who cast this damn season??? I don't know if this is true or not, but I read on Jokers a couple of weeks ago that the casting was really bad this year. A few players (can't remember who, Jeremy was in the list I believe) were talking, and asked if they had any interviews before being selected for the show, and most (all?) of the people in the group said they hadn't... That seems weird, but could explain why this season kinda sucks compared to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't get over how these people take EVERYTHING personally and just have no tolerance for game play. I think i've even only heard like two or three of them talk about past seasons... Elissa can't be bothered to participate in the game...she's too busy doing yoga all over the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajzepp Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Finished watching Ep.1 of BBAUS...the format is TOTALLY different...I guess this was the original format, the one that started in the Netherlands and has become so huge in the UK. The pace is a big dragged out, but the casting was PERFECT. How can a country/continent with so much less diversity than what we have here assemble a cast that is FAR more interesting that this year's BB USA?

There was 2 and a half strikes against her when I read she was a political consultant. She acts like it My wtf? moment with her came when she was interrogating Howard and Spencer about having the nerve to have an alliance besides the one she heads up. Like they were some sort of criminals. Then she starts balling. A true politician manipulating to the extreme. What is frustrating this season is the total indifference by the rest of the cast about who's running the show. There is no push back at all against Helen and her horde. Spencer and Howard finally last week made a half assed try but the rest of the house are just following Helen like sheep to the slaughter. Aryns only chance in the game came and left this week as head of household. She could have made a major power shift away from the politician but she thinks it's safer to go with Helen. No way. She will be next on the block next week when they are done with her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
