re: Big Brother 18 - Season Long Thread (SPOILERS)

No it wasn't

Yeah, not a fan of not having live feeds for the first few nights. That's where some of the best interaction occurs.

I hope the team concept is used to break up alliances. Switch the teams at different times to shake things up like Survivor does. Big Brother normally starts strong, then tapers off when the alliances take over and evictions become somewhat predictable, and then finishes OK when the alliances have to start eating their own.

Initial thoughts on the characters based on what we saw last night (I haven't seen any interviews, casting vids, etc)

bronte- annoying but kinda likeable. She seems spunky and said a few things that made me chuckle. Obviously that voice is bad but I don't mind too much

Paulie- thought I would hate him but he seems cool. I don't like that he's essentially just Cody 2.0 but oh well

zakiyah- don't know hardly anything about her yet, minimal screen time

glenn- Likeable, the "everyman" of this cast. I want to see him showcase some police skills ala Derrick but sadly he may not be around long. It kinda sucks that this cast is mostly young outgoing attractive single people and then you have glenn as the major outlier.

natalie- super hot but pretty annoying. She looks like someone who thinks they are the absolutely bees knees. James has more self control than I do I will say that...if my head was where his was on that rocket I know I'd have been sneaking a few peeks

victor- chill out dude. Seems like a guy I could grow to like but you dont' HAVE to play up the outgoing latin guy so much

bridgette- very likable. Normal, everyday girl. Good head on her shoulders it looks like. She'll probably go far due to not being seen as much of a threat, IMO

jozea- I'm on the fence currently. I'm not the biggest fan of HAVING to have a gay person on every cast, but it's CBS so I guess we should accept it. I very much appreciate he's not as flamingly flamboyant as frankie and some others, he has just the right amount of flair for a gay guy that makes him really likeable. However, he also has kind of an attitude that is offputting. Opinion here is TBD.

tiffany- right off the bat, seems more likable than vanessa. Maybe she's trying to lay low and avoid suspicion, who knows. But she seems more well adjusted mentally. That's a good thing.

corey- probably a comp beast but man is he boring. Personality of a dishrag. I don't dislike him but I wouldn't think I'll ever be a "fan".

michelle- underrated hot. Her personality is kind of annoying and she does remind me of Nicole 2.0. But so far I'm on board

Paul- at first glance I thought I'd love paul. Quirky, crazy guy with a strnage look but huge personality. But man, this guy is super annoying. He went from early fave to strong dislike quickly for me.

he is entertaining as hell in the sense of him making the house entertaining. That's about it.

Mama Dey was an easy target..I'm looking at 2 of the big guys who need to be his target. if they get loud and he gets loud, fireworks!

Shocker, Paul being a douche

Paul is a major douche but could be a good villain and shake up the house going forward, really the only reason I'd like him to stay.

Mama Da can go quickly IMO. It KILLS me how she's already crying and bitching about not wanting to be on teams and play for herself! Not many people get a 2nd chance at this game so just roll with it. Jesus she's annoying

/rant

I agree with all of that.
