Big Brother Season 15

[Fievel]

Season 15 started yesterday! Already some interesting twists.

Anybody else watching? I've been a big fan for several years, I know there has to be other BB fanatics on here.

I was wondering who would start this thread... Interesting twists so far. Slightly annoyed that Rachel's sister is there. But whoever casted the Loki lookalike is the man in my book that shit had me in tears. When the chick from Staten Island jumped into the black guy's arms my wife was like "Dead Giveaway". Should be a good season

This and MTV's Challenge are my two biggest guilty pleasures on TV. Coincidentally, these are going about the same time. I have some turribl taste in TV.

There seems a lot more eye candy this season than usual. I expect a bunch of hot chicks to go out fairly quickly, as they always seem to do early on.

[Fievel]

McCrayCray dumb as fuck.

Ok that settles it, I'm making a goddamn thread for the Challenge.

Coincidentally I was reading one of the GRTFL articles today and saw someone link BG bucket... lo and behold it was you!

I don't even remember doing that, but it sounds like something I would do.

It amuses me to no end that these people have been fired (well, GinaMarie was fired, Aaryn was just let out of her modeling contract, which seemed really part time), and they are just about the only people who don't know it.

I'm really hoping at some point Big Brother, during a competition, says something like "True or False: Two houseguests have been fired from their jobs because of their offensive language in the house." THAT would be worth watching.

[notorious bum]

This game is too rigged now, only liked S2 and S3, when it was pure unadulterated mind-fuckery. All-Stars was alright, too, and S8 for the drama lulz.

Hard to believe this many bigots could pass the casting process without raising any red flags.

With that said, I read onlinebigbrother updates with the show(via twitter and I follow evel dick/jun), because they refuse to air any of the mouth-breathing this season.

[Fievel]

Welp, there goes the only good player this season. Season sucks overall, nobody can really play the game.

[Johnblaze]

Yeah, Nick was the only person seriously playing. Next closest is Elissa but she's so annoyingly dumb, she's doing it wrong. Or maybe Howard. This season so far has been pretty bad. The MVP is such a good addition imo but Elissa is so dumb she tells people and it has kept that huge target on her.

[Fievel]

My issue with MVP is that they added it with Elissa here, they had to of known she'd win every week. I don't like the game being rigged or them giving favor to one player over another, and that's exactly what they did.

Otherwise though I think MVP is awesome, and I really hope we get to see it in use by somebody not dumb enough to tell every fucking person in the house that they got it. She gives up the most powerful part about it, ugh, so dumb.

I would like to see a rule implemented where the same person couldn't win MVP two weeks in a row.

I think Candice, Helen, and Amanda all have a shot at being solid players, although none of them have overly impressed me so far. We'll definitely get a better idea what Helen is capable of in the next few days.

[notorious bum]

Helen was 2nd to last on-board the blindside tonight, she got a hero/mastermind edit on TV. Gotta follow the live feed updates to know what's up. Candice figured out the MC alliance first and Pizza Boy's girl put in the work to rally the emotional thinker that Helen is(she was still 100% drinking Howard's Koolaid up until last night, couple hours before the alarms). Then Elissa's first night out of HN room secured Jessie's vote. Judd kept her on-board.

Nick was a poor player, he only socialized with the bigots and occasional check-ins with MC. He was supposed to be a Dan or Boogie, but played in the dark.

Pizza Boy and his girl are going to make it far, Judd and Andy should too with their valuable recon(like a Shelly). Everyone else is either overplaying and/or just clueless.

edit: Actually, Helen is having to be reminded that Spencer/Howard cannot be trusted by Andy in her HoH lol Helen is pretty naive.

[Marihoki]

I don't even know what to think of this season so far. I don't really like anyone in the house at this point and none of them are playing a good game. Nick didn't seem like he was playing a good game at all either, so I didn't mind seeing him leave this week. I mean making a big alliance in the first week almost always backfires on whoever makes it. The only time I can remember it working was whatever season the brigade was on.

Candice seems like she is playing a pretty good game, she caught onto the MC alliance pretty early, but with the racist brigade running around (Aaryn, GinaMarie and Kaitlyn), I think she might have a hard time separating the game from personal stuff.

Other people are sort of eh right now. I think Amanda, Judd, Andy, Helen, Howard, and Spencer have the potential to be good standout players. I would say Elissa also since she will get MVP for a while, but shes acts like a complete airhead so I don't have much faith.

Oh well, I have low expectations for this season. I expect it to turn into BB9 all over again.

Spoiler: show

Also I find it funny that Aaryn is in complete denial about her portrayal as a racist on national TV. I got a chance to watch some live feed footage, and her fight with Amanda tonight just verifies that she is completely oblivious about it. Amanda just basically tells Aaryn that shes being portrayed as a racist, and that the Diary Room is always asking everyone questions about Ayaan and her racist comments, and Aaryn just replies "I really don't think that they, the DR, would portray me as a racist""I never said anything racist" and that she can't wait to watch the season to prove that she wasn't being racist.

Oh, shes going to have a rude awakening after she gets out of the house.

[Fievel]

A few of them are gonna have those rude awakenings haha, lost jobs, lost friends, hate mail, no doubt. Have to be a complete fucking moron to be racist on national television.

About players though, I can see Spencer, Amanda, and McCrayCray going far but the rest I'm either not sure about yet due to little air time(like Judd and Andy) or completely sure they'll float till picked off. Shitty cast overall, Nick knew how to play the game to an extent at least, he just blew it on one of the most important parts, social. Can't walk around the house ignoring half the players and making it clear as fuck you think you're a good player, idiotic to have an attitude that makes people feel threatened, well, unless you're evil Dick.

[notorious bum]

Judd and Andy are smart af, especially Judd; he's actually a superfan, knows all the seasons, etc. The TV eps can't do justice to how much gameplay has gone down, so they basically put Helen as the frontrunner to go with the "anti-racism vengeance" plot. But honestly, Amanda, Andy, and Judd all played some top-tier hustling to keep their MVP chesspiece.

Minor spoiler to give you an idea who's at the top of the totem pole after last night

Spoiler: show

Cray spilled all the beans about MC to his girl and then chose to also tell Judd and Andy as his core alliance. Doesn't look like they want to tell Helen or Candice as they still trust Howard. They want to keep the remnants of MC in the dark and pick them off first(then the racist females).

Also, love how they've cast atleast 2 raging racists, GM and Aaryn, with misogynists and homophobes all in 1 season. Aaryn is the scapegoat for all the heat, but this show is like 2 steps away from becoming Real World/Jersey Shore derpiness.

BB is my guilty pleasure because it started as a chess game with sociopaths and tolerable amounts of highschool drama. But, you can see how they're pushing towards the manufactured drama hardcore in the last 5 years.

Uh... Helen was up for eviction how would she ever not be on board for the blindside lol? The other option was to get rid of Elissa.

I do agree that her involvement of it was exaggerated tho.

[notorious bum]

Fuck, CBS took that shit down.

On-board wasn't the right term, more like in-the-loop, as her "alliance" the whole game has been inside the HN room+Spencer&Howard. Helen was being prepped by Spencer&Howard for Elissa going out. She 100% wanted Elissa to stay, but didn't think it would be possible until Amanda got her shit straight and told her to avoid the snakes. Helen literally spent 90% of the time in that HN room and the recon team(Judd, Andy) kept her on the same page.
