You know it's bad when you keep coming back to the board and no one is posting near as much. I never had the feeds and only watched the show and read this thread. I almost feel lost not knowing at all what's going on. Unless I guess there's nothing going on but the same ol same ol which I already know is the case. Id like to say that once Mark is gone it will get better, if not just to see the minions eat themselves alive to stay there with Paul, which is all we have left anyway. I don't care who flips on Paul, if ever, but Id like to see that person win the whole dayumed thing.

I think most of us just can't take it anymore. I was really into the season when it first started, watching bbad and reading jokers a lot, but now...between the false dramatic narratives like xmas "I'm gonna shake things up...mark is the target and I need Paul's permission" to BB making Paul look like this brilliant mastermind playing all 3 "power couples"...that's pretty much being the one working light bulb in a house full of burnt out bulbs.

There really is nothing to post about or get excited about cause we all know how this season is going to play out. 3 duos of dimwits all taking Paul to final 3, so boring.

the thread died cause nothing is legit going on. As im typing this i have BBAD on in the background and matt/raven/alex are in kitchen talking shite about guess who....?

Raven says she cant wait to see cody when he realizes josh has a larger fanbase. Matt says there is no way any normal rational human being could like cody.

alex says the only way anyone could like them is they are geting a good edit.


this is the delusional kind of convo people without feeds or updates have been missing

The ‘Big Brother’ Paul situation shows why returning players are a bad idea on reality TV

quote:

On an episode of CBS’s “Big Brother” this weekend, contestant Paul Abrahamian made an observation.

“I don’t even know how I’ve made it so far, or why these people have not even considered putting me up on the block,” he marveled to the camera. “But I’ll take it.”

It’s an excellent point. Paul is a returning player (a “vet,” in “Big Brother” lingo) who came in second place last season. You would think, given that “Big Brother” is a game of strategy — in which 16 people are trapped in a camera-filled house and vote one another out one by one — that his fellow houseguests would put him on the block for eviction as soon as possible.


quote:

For some reason, most of the contestants are oddly protective of Paul, treating him like their king. They’re so in awe of his status as a former player that they let him call the shots, and gang up on the few houseguests who don’t idolize him. As the season hits its halfway mark, Paul is on his way to the easiest $500,000 grand prize in “Big Brother” history.


quote:

The purpose of adding in a returning player on a reality competition series is to stir up drama — “Big Brother” has relied on the “vet” twist in earlier seasons. “Just adding one returner shouldn’t skew things too much for people that don’t appreciate that,” said executive producer Allison Grodner, when the Hollywood Reporter pointed out some viewers would rather watch a brand new cast. “I’m hoping they agree that having him back is a positive thing.”

The opposite has happened. On the edited-for-TV episodes (CBS also airs a 24/7 live stream online) Paul’s presence has skewed everything to the point where almost no one will act strategically, and instead just look to Paul for cues on what to do. The two players who didn’t want to go along with Paul, “showmance” couple Cody Nickson and Jessica Graf, were considered the villains in the house until they were both evicted over the past two weeks.


quote:

So as Paul continues his roadblock-free march toward $500,000, here’s hoping this season can mark the end of the returning players. Because although they are a fun way to stir up drama, as the Paul situation proves, they can also bring down the house and take the entire season with them.

I'm hoping the one Vet decision will cause CBS to make some major changes to the production crew and casting. Their interference has gotten progressively worse under Grodner. Kass needs to go as well. She does a good job with BB Canada but she has dropped the ball a lot recently in casting BB US.

It is nice to see a major publication call them out on it. The bad press and slipping ratings might show them they need a change.

I agree. The last month has been Cody/Jess (temptation used), Jess, Cody, Elena and now Mark. I guess since Paul got beat by half of a showmance last year he's determined to take them all out, which is why he started calling himself the showmance killer.

I really hate Paul as a person and I hate the way this cast follows him even more, but if he somehow gets Raven/Matt out next with Kevin mixed in then he will have taken out three couples and the old guy. At this point I'll be pissed if someone other than Paul wins.

Of all these shitty things that have been done, one of the things that sticks out to me is how Mark opened up to Jason about Paul. Which none of them had the balls to even mentioned Paul's name.

Mark "This has to stay absolutely between us"

Jason then outs Mark in his nomination speech.

There has been a lot shitty moves and that's got to be up there.

The problem here is that most of this cast are petty and shitty people.

No one has any redeeming qualities or personalities.

The worst thing of all is that ratings have been pretty good this season, which will make CBS think that this is what the fans want, a bunch of shitty sheep.
