re: Big Brother Season 23 Thread - LIVE Premiere July 7th 8pm ET - CBS

Btw how annoying was Frenchie in DRs on the show??

I hate when people constantly try to come up with sound bites.


What the hell was he even trying to say when he was like “it was as close as a fly, on, like, a whatever, donkeys butt”????

So lame like he was struggling to come up with some country sounding thing to say. Surprised CBS even aired because it was pretty cringey

I'm starting to like Brent's game and I think Hannah is a sleeper...

Yeah Hannah is one to watch.

Brent handled Frenchie perfectly but if he starts showmancing with Whit I think he’s in trouble.

Xavier is the other meat head and I don’t think Frenchie has really gotten in with him yet.

Kyland too.

Xavier and Kyland are both also in the Slaughter House alliance, and the Butchers alliance with both Christian and Frenchie.

The Slaughterhouse is Frenchie, Brent, Christian, Xavier, Kyland, Big D, Alyssa, and Whitney. They did "solidify" the allaince yesterday (supposedly because production told Frenchie to do it).

The Butchers are Frenchie, Christian, Xavier, Kyland, and Big D. They are supposed to be the ones pulling the strings within the Slaughterhouse.

But with all that said, these two alliances have quite a few cracks already. Frenchie has told several people that he is worried about Xavier and Kyland. Brent is also pretty obvious with his jealousy of Christian and Xavier when it comes to Alyssa.

So I'm kind of thinking that if someone outside of these alliances wins HOH, maybe paranoia and jealousies could further the cracks. But if someone in those alliances wins, then it could reinforce the alliances. So I'm kind of hoping someone random like Claire, SB, Tiffany, or Britini win it. Also it would be interesting to see if DerekX were to win it, whether or not he'd exact revenge on Frenchie, or if he'd just cower down and do what the house wants.

Dereck F has a huge crush on Frenchie. Will he be homophobic and deny his advances?

How’s the season so far?

My wife and I haven’t started watching yet, but we have been watching together for 6 years

So far it has been fairly entertaining. You had a nut job winning the first HOH which caused a lot of instability over the past week. But I think the future of this season will rest solely on who wins this next HOH. If someone from Slaughterhouse wins the HOH, then it could be another steamroll season. If someone random wins, it could cause the Slaughterhouse alliance to fracture apart, and we could get a good season.

Oh damn, great breakdown tab


That’s what I was getting at in my earlier posts about not being sure if Christian is really on board or not, but again I don’t do feeds so was going more on gut feeling than any concrete info.

Yes 100% agree one of those would be great.

I was a Claire fan early on so would love to see what she’d do. Seems like she’s been very quiet so far.

the live feeds have become a complete and utter joke over the last couple of seasons. even whenever there is nothing remotely "offensive" being talked about, CBS cuts the feeds. sometimes they cut the feeds for a few seconds, other times a few minutes, and all too often they just call it a day and cut the feeds for several hours.

last year they made sure to turn the feeds off to protect Bayleigh anytime she started one of her DAILY temper tantrums, but they also made damn sure to turn them back on when Christmas would fire back at Bayleigh (trying to paint Christmas as the "bad guy" on the show)

I guess ever since CBS All Access turned into Paramount+ several months back, they don't feel the pressure to deliver with the Big Brother live feeds anymore like they used to (back when people signed up just for the CBS app for Big Brother). now Paramount+ offers tons of other original programming so they likely don't care if they lose some Big Brother fans.

either way it's been annoying trying to tune it at times and probably 80% of the time the feeds are down.

Man that sux. I was considering getting live feeds but you just made my decision easy.

Paramount+ is still a good app and offers a ton of shows and movies, just saying that the live feeds for Big Brother have been shite the last couple seasons. with that said, it's a three month show so maybe (hopefully) that will change going forward.

check and see if they're offering a free 1-week trial or something. either way, it's only like $10 a month.

Yeah, them cutting the feeds every ten minutes is ridiculous. It seems they are cutting them for no reason at all. Used to they'd cut the feeds for people singing or talking about production stuff, but lately they just seem to randomly cut the feeds for no reason whatsoever. It makes it hard to watch the feeds for long periods of time. I have a free subscription to Paramount+ because of my 247 subscription, but if it wasn't for that I'd probably consider canceling if I had to actually pay for it.
