Big Brother Discussion (Live Episodes)

[lassidoggy]

I'm now rooting so hard against the newbie alliance. Especially the Paul/Zakiyah/Josea triplet.

Never thought that Bridgette of all people would be in a good spot. She seems capable and totally not a target.

Finally got caught up on big brother today just in time for tonights episode. Who does everyone hope gets evicted? I am hoping Jozea for sure!

[joepetz]

Jozea - and it looks like an epic blindside.

[Spideynerd]

So, Big Brother is just copying from us now.

[joepetz]

At least they didn't call it Limbo. They should have called it the Return Ticket to keep with the World theme.

[Spideynerd]

Shh! Clearly they'll change the name now that you've given them such a good idea!

I knew the 'zingbot3000' account was created by Allison Grodner! Why didn't anyone believe me? ;P

[lassidoggy]

So, what's everyone's opinion so far?

I, for one, am really liking this season. Good characters, good boot order so far...

Who's everyone's favourites? Mine are Nicole, Paul, Natalie, and James.

[joepetz]

These season is really good. For starters it is not following the same pattern as the last two and BB seems to be trying to improve the challenges so they aren't the same.

[doolgirl]

I'm still watching! Which says something because I've had a hard time in past sticking with a season. I personally love Frank. He's always been one of my fave. I didn't watch last season, but I really like James I can see how he won most liked. I also like Paulie, Natalie and Bronte. Paul really annoyed me at first, but he is growing on me.

[joepetz]

Really I don't hate anyone now that Jozea is gone. Frank and James' edits are much more positive on TV than if you watch the live feeds. My early assessment with no big spoilers is below. Warning, there are things mentioned on the live feeds that the show hasn't really portrayed but they are not really spoilers but be warned anyway.

Best Shot at Winning: Da'Vonne. Nicole, Paulie, Paul

Dark Horses/Maybe Can Win: Zakiyah, Frank, James, Natalie, Corey

Probably Will Not Win: Michelle, Bronte, Bridgette, Victor, Tiffany


Da'Vonne is definitely more aware, subtle and strategic this time around. She is the least targeted vet and seems to get along with everyone. Also, she is a key part in multiple dominant alliances. Her weakness is that she doesn't like anyone.

Nicole is also likable, strategic and social. Her biggest problems are her sort-of showmance with Corey and she gets easily flustered and emotional.

Paulie looks like the stereotypical winner. He is not really targeted by anyone and is sort-of a member of the 8 pack and close with the other side. He could be the obvious threat later down the road.

Paul is underdog but not so much as there is no recovery for him. Indeed, he has risen on the 8-packs pecking order. However, he does find himself without any good allies especially if Victor leaves tonight.

Zakiyah is in all the right places but she has started a showmance with Paulie which angers Da'Vonne and the other Fatal 5 members. I can see her step up her not quite invisible game soon

Frank is a fan favorite and strong in comps but is not well liked by anyone, even within the 8-pack. There are talks of backdooring him soon. Frank has a tendency to spill secrets to anyone about anything.

James is another fan favorite who is not well liked in the house, though not the extant Frank is. Last season, I thought his game was lacking in awareness and strategy and the same appears to be true now.

Natalie is the best player of the 3 Spy Girls. She is aware she needs to change her game up and is loyal to her allies. She is not causing any drama. Also people named Natalie do so well CBS shows. Has anyone else noticed this?

Corey is another player in all the right places, meaning he is active but not dominating which I think is ideal. Corey is not a big target for anyone. However, some of his actions (that I will not name) are making some people uncomfortable. This is something of a recurring joke on the live feed chats. Corey also seems to be inflexible in terms of changing courses.

Michelle is nonexistent and unimportant in the goingson. That said, she is in all major dominate alliances but the anti-vets newbies feel betrayed by her the most.

Of all the people I said can't win, Bronte has the most potential for an upset. She seems aware of what changes she needs to make but she is still the most targeted woman in the house and the men are eager to lose a woman.

Bridgette is not a major factor in anything and she is not good at what little she does as seen by her spying bit last week.

Victor, I believe, will be leaving tonight but Tiffany is so disliked he might stay. I don't think him staying would make him less of a target and he has a lot of ass kissing to do if he wants to stay longer.

Tiffany is so disliked and distrusted it is hard to imagine her staying too much longer unless things shift around. She is a target by both sides of the house, including her alliance. She may be evicted tonight also. I give the odds 66-33 that Victor leaves but that is just a guess and the live feeds don't give much clarity.

[doolgirl]

Thanks for the insight. I'm always interested what's really happening versus what the show does. I always know editing does what it can to create drama and a story.

I'm curious what's going on with Corey now. What's the best live feed/spoiler site out there? I've used mortystv in the past but haven't looked up any spoilers yet this year.

I like that Twitter Account.

[doolgirl]

Anyone still watching. I'm starting to lose a little interest. I'd hate to see Bronte go tonight. I'd like to see Bronte or Natalie or even Paul at this point to win the next HOH to change things up.

[lassidoggy]

I'm still watching, and I'm still enjoying it. I'm really hoping that Tiffany goes. I think that she's basically a weaker version of Vanessa, but with the same amount of tears. I wouldn't mind if Bronte left tonight, but I'm hoping Paul wins HoH to change things up.
