Title: General BB discussion
Post by: Snowbird on August 14, 2023, 09:38:55 PM
What did everyone think of the HOH comp?  I thought it was fun and something different from the same old contest we've had for years.  Anyone could have won it no matter how smart are strong they were.

Also read it was filmed on the old My Three Sons set...nice to see they are getting out of the backyard.

Cirie is one gooood player. The others better either learn from her or watch their backs. She was a master at manipulation and back stabbing in the Traitors. After all these years of playing Survivor and other reality games, she has all the angles figured out. It will be interesting to see how far she gets. i hope Izzy doesn't blow her cover.

She sure is!  She has good instincts and can read people's motives.  It would be funny if both she and her boy end up final 2.

I am so sick of unanimous voting.  Why?  It use to be a surprise for the players and us.  I wish BB would explain to them it is how it works and it is not necessary to all vote alike.  Maybe even outlawing it.

She actually put him up and now Cirie and Felicia are talking about saving him!!!  He will be out for revenge if they keep him and if they are stupid enough to listen  to his promises they will deserve itl.
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: bacali on August 24, 2023, 02:42:11 AM
Keeping him will be a big mistake. He will never forget this humiliation. He may act nicer now, and more humbled and pledging his loyalty, but, will probably treat them even worse if he stays.

I didn't believe a word he said during his interview with Julie.  I think he just wanted to make himself look good to the audience and fans.

Quote from: ponytail on Today at 01:26:08 AM

   

That and his whole demeanor. He also had a sort of vacant look in his eyes. And, they say the "eyes are the window to the soul". So, all In all.... glad he's gone.

Now, with our game... looks like only the 3 of us are playing. hahahaha. I think I'm going to come in last this time ponytail.  -duh-
Wish Linda and cak jumped in. They've been here. ???

This is the most wishy-washy group I  have ever seen.  They go back and forth with who will be voted out until the last minute.  They don't vote for the person they want but with what the majority wants.  How do they know if all of them are really telling the truth about who they vote for? Maybe they would rather vote for A but think the one they are talking to wants B and don't want to give away who they are in an alliance with.
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: ponytail on September 06, 2023, 12:58:48 AM
It takes all the fun out of it. I liked the old seasons and rivalries. None of that anymore

They should try at least one surprise anonymous vote--maybe at a double eviction-- where they have to immediately vote someone out without being able to talk about it.
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: ponytail on September 08, 2023, 01:14:49 AM
Okay, someone help me out here. Why does everyone dislike Cameron so muchI

I am starting to like the guy. Man, has he fought hard! With no one to back him up. Sifting through the game play of the other houseguests, there are just too many fence straddlers, and lots I don't like. Jared and Blue are at the top of my 'I hope you are voted out soon' list. But I really can't stand most of them.

Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: bacali on September 08, 2023, 02:53:01 AM
Not exactly sure....Red was best friends with Cameron until Jared lied about him.Told Jared that Cameron wasn't his friend. Red is a straight and narrow guy. It hurt him and he cried.But... That's why they all changed their minds about voting jag out. They were afraid Red and Cameron would mend fences.
I don't think  that he did anything to anyone of them, really, but not be on the big Cirie alliance.
He was loyal to Cieri's fake alliance. which I forget the name of.
When the show ended did you see their faces??? And Jared never even gave him the HOH key. Poor guy.
I do like him. He may look messy but, he is a military veteran.( He has a little girl and probably could use the money more than Cirie who is on all these reality shows). Anyway...That's says a lot to me. None of these other flakes served our country. Jared probably couldn't pass the test to even get in!

I like Cieri and Felicia...and even Izzy. But, it is high time for a flipperoo in this house. I only wish Red was still there to help his bud. Red had made the mistake of saying to ?? I think Jared that when tonight was over( and Jag was evicted which was the first plan) he was going to confront Cameron who had stopped talking to him ....thinking Red had betrayed him
When Jared told Mommy about this reunion of sorts, everything changed. They all had to vote Red out. He had 2 votes, ..Bowie Jane and ? , I forget.
That's about all I know.

And, where's the HOH room with letters this season? And, wow, Julie wore jeans tonight!  :c029:
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: Snowbird on September 08, 2023, 10:30:35 PM
Cameron is playing a good game and if he can manage to make it to the end he deserves to win. However, he is not te one I like best.  I like Matt and Cory.  I did like Cirie but she is  putting her son before her game.  If it weren't for him being there she would be playing a better game.  I like Cirie and Felicia together but they seem to be breaking up.  I knew by the look on Cam's face when Red was voted out that he was determined to win HOH again. 
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: bacali on September 11, 2023, 01:48:02 PM
Well, Cam had everyone fooled about his Nom ,( you could tell when Izzy took off her glasses and Felicia took some pin out of her head they didn't expect to be nom and expected to be hit by pies)  Now, Cameron wants Jared to take down one of his noms. But, Jared can't. If Jared does, even though  Cameron says he would put up Jag, , he probably won't, He will put up MOMMY Cieri..

So, I expect Felicia or Izzy to go hone. I hope Felicia because she contributes nothing. Izzy needs this money. She doesn't even have medical insurance!!!
And, this is her dream, to be on this show.

Remember, now Cameron can not play for HOH next time, so I expect whoever wins to put him on the block again and he again will have to win POV to stay.

I like Izzy for reasoning of her playing hard and needing the money. I like Matt, alot. Not caring about the girls. They are all intelligent, but, so far, they are floaters.
I am enjoying the season.
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: bacali on September 16, 2023, 01:32:45 AM
Well, after the blow out of a fight yesterday afternoon between Cory and Jared, I am not at all surprised that Cory and America are OTB.
I honestly don't care who goes. I am not crazy about either of them as they snuggle under the covers. Always did not like this on BB.
I'm sure that most of the hgs want to win POV, and if so and they take one of them down, , up , I would imagine would go Cameron. :85:
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: ponytail on September 16, 2023, 01:40:15 AM
I don't mind Cory, America, or Cameron. I just want Cirie and Jared gone. Matt is my favorite. Did Blue and Jared break up or is it all fake?
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: bacali on September 29, 2023, 02:20:26 AM
I like Matt, too, but lately I'm starting to wonder about him. He really doesn't contribute much at all.
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: ponytail on September 29, 2023, 12:20:35 PM
I have changed my opinion once again! I don't like any of them....
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: Snowbird on September 29, 2023, 04:21:18 PM
Well, I'm going to be different once again because I am a Cirie and Jared fan.  Seems like nobody at Jokers likes Jared so I think he needs a little support. -rollinglaugh-They are just playing the game to win like everyone else.  I can't think of any who haven't lied if they want to win. 
As for the show in general, it is much better to have different games and things than all the years before. 
The only thing I wish would change is the voting.  I wish they would vote for who they really like instead of all voting together.  It needs to be more exciting when they are voted out and more unpredictable.
I have to admit Cameron deserves to stay and win.  He is so good at the game.
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: bacali on September 30, 2023, 03:11:56 AM
I don't remember if I said this here, but, I have totally changed my opinion about Cameron.
I really, really did not like him at all when he had his first HOH. He was mean and just kind of snarky. I honestly did not like him and was happy to see him voted out.
Then this stupid twist. I had to root for Jared or Cameron. I was surprised they were in the house right the night of the voting.
I heard Cameron say that he had watched every BB from the beginning and multiple times! He knows the game.He had applied 8 times to be on!!
On the other had, Jared never watched BB. I gather, not sure, that when they got Cirie on they brought along Jared.
That totally changed my mind. Someone who is a superfan... I will root for.
I know Cameron served in the military, but, don't know why at 34 he lives at home with his parents. He also has a daughter.
So, as of now.. I am rooting for Cameron. :clap:
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: Snowbird on October 17, 2023, 12:00:53 PM
I have enjoyed some of the new games this year.  The old ones they brought back seem to be some of the most popular ones.  I have enjoyed not having one group that forms at the beginning and rules the rest of the game.  These people have changed alliances so often and each has been in so many that it makes it hard to predict who is going to be nominated.  Cameron was a great player but might have gone all the way if he had not been so dominating in winning games.  Of course, he had to go.  No one else had a chance.  He should have held back on some of the contest.  I think the cast was pretty diversified. 
I loved this latest thing about the invisible HOH.  Maybe they should do that all the time and not let the nominations be known until they call the houseguest go in to vote.  That would do anyway with everyone voting for the same person.
Jag should be the one to bet now.  I am pulling for him and Matt to win.  Altogether I have enjoyed it this year,
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: ponytail on October 18, 2023, 01:52:02 AM
I am with you there, Snowbird. Jag is my number one pick now. Sure hope Cirie doesn't sail into a win, though. She is so smooth! And with everyone targeting the Matt/Jag and Corey/America duos  she has some room to slide in.
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: Snowbird on October 20, 2023, 10:10:55 AM
If Cirie is in the final two I don't think she would win unless she is up against Bowie.  Cirie has won nothing this year as far as winning comps.  Her social game is good but without doing anything else who would vote for her?

Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: ponytail on October 21, 2023, 01:57:03 AM
Agreed! Show after show after show, she just slides through to the end without making waves of any sort...
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: bacali on October 26, 2023, 02:58:16 AM
I agree about Cirie , but, I haven't seen Bowie Jane do much of anything either.
Right now, my vote is for Felicia.
Did you see all the things she hides in robe pockers?  A Baked Potato!!!!  -rollinglaugh-
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: Snowbird on October 29, 2023, 01:45:54 AM
Felicia cracks me up!  I really don't care who wins as long as it is not Bowie.  She has done nothing but win the last HOH and now she has all the power.  I hope
zag who will probably be the next HOH, wants the third one to be Felicia and Matt wants
Cirie so I guess they intend to get rid of Bowieas she can't play for HOH next time.
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: Snowbird on October 30, 2023, 09:48:24 PM
I guess I will pull for Felicia and Cirie now after reading what all those other three are saying about.them.  It is very insulting and there is no reason for it since they already have control of the game.  I wish whichever of the Mamas stay they will win either HOH or veto next but I doubt they will.        I am very surprised at things Matt said about Cirie.  He seemed to really care about her.

Did I miss it?? What has been said about Felicia and Cirie?
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: Snowbird on October 31, 2023, 05:12:44 PM
Mostly it was about how they had played them the entire game.  How they thought their friendship was genuine and other things putting them down, they were up in HOH drinking and not sharing the alcohol.  Jag was talking about keeping Felicia up by banging pots and pans but I don't think he ever did.
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: bacali on November 03, 2023, 02:09:01 AM
As nice a guy as Matt is, he doesn't know how to play BB.
He has been Jag's "ride or die" all along and how much do you want to bet that he isn't in the top 2?

Bowie will have to put someone up next to Felicia. She won't put Jag, I would thnk. So up goes Matt.
Perfect time to get Matt out if they are really playing the game.
 
I don't particularly like Bowie and I read that many do not like Felicia.
I happen to like Felicia. She hasn't asked for any favors and has played numerous competitions., unlike Cieri.
That is why I am happy Cieri was voted out.

Right now, really ., Jag has played the best game of the people left. IMO
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: ponytail on November 04, 2023, 01:24:30 AM
Jag has certainly been a comp beast for the most part, I just can't stand him anymore. Really don't like any of the last four that much, although Felicia has been hilarious.
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: Snowbird on November 04, 2023, 12:32:04 PM
From Joker's I understand that the three are isolating Fellicia for the most part and I think that is wrong.  They stay in the HOH drinking the alcohol they have and laugh about her and how they played her,  I have lost respect for them.
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: bacali on November 08, 2023, 01:24:41 PM
I watch the feeds at night when I go to bed.
Felicia was in her room and they were up in the HOH room.
But, Felicia could go up any time she wanted.

Later, she did come out of her room and they all had fun playing hide and seek.
I don't think they are as mean as people portray them to be.
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: bacali on November 08, 2023, 01:25:59 PM

Title: Re: General BB discussion

I'd hope Jag and Matt would take each other, but it would be so foolish.
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: Snowbird on November 08, 2023, 04:00:39 PM
I don't know who would win if it was Jag and Matt.  Jag really played the best game but Matt played with a handicap.  I wonder how they accommodated for his deafness in the oral games?
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: bacali on November 10, 2023, 02:21:17 PM
Well another BB is over, and our last one to make all our posts here  :'(

I see so many people saying this was the worst BB ever... but, then they always say this.
I, for one, enjoyed it very much. I liked that there wasn't any dramatic fighting, eg.. the year Rachel's sister
had to lock herself in the HOH room.
I liked that there wasn't abundant showmances, and the only one was not much to have to endure.

I loved watching the two "mamas' sit and talk at night. Felicia being one of the funniest I've seen on BB.
And, I didn't vote but, although. I am glad that Camerson took the prize, ( as a stay at home Dad and verteran. I am sure he could use the money). I would have voted for Felicia.
For a woman in her sixties, she played all the comps, unlike Cieri, and did all the cooking every night. She also kept an immaculate kitchen ...for the first time in my recollection in BB history.

I did get the feeds this year , but, they only worked on my phone, so I enjoyed watching when I went to bed. I will miss seeing them all say good night.

I do think Jag deserved to win. He did play an amazing game, but, Matt played one too because he is handicapped and you can't imagine how this affects a person's life unless you live with one.
My mother was deaf and I grew up watching her insecurities and know she would have loved to do so many more things in life, but this disability took away her confidence. So, I applaud Matt for everything he did here and in his life in general.

Well, that about sums it up for me. BYE BB 25 :051bye: 
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: ponytail on November 11, 2023, 01:44:44 AM
I don't think I watched the feeds a single time, or visited Jokers either. All in all I enjoyed it, and the comps were okay, too.
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: bacali on November 11, 2023, 03:28:19 AM
I never watched the feeds other years when I bought them. I had to watch on my computer and I didn't want to sit upstairs all day, but, I have a tablet so thought... I will watch them on it..But, they wouldn't work on my tablet that I have downstairs. Got message "fatal error", but, I do everything on my tablet. Have to even watch Days of Our Lives on Tablet , it's not on NBC for over a year. So I thought... I am going to cancel...

But, feeds worked on my phone and I found myself enjoying feeds on phone when I went to bed. Hgs were still up and sometimes funny. I actually will miss them putting me to sleep at night. I just cancelled them today. I realized that I had paid for Nov, since BB started Aug 2nd. So, next billing date would have been Dec 2nd.  I don't need them for anything else.So, I can still watch things if I want until then, if they work.

FB had a few BB25 groups and they always told you what happened , so I found I never really went to Jokers. Just went to look at the grid to know who they were in the beginning and to check who was Nom etc. But this FB group was on top of it all the time and you could chat, just like we do here.

BTW, it came across my phone today a few of the Reindeer players....3 exactly. I don't remember who two were but I had to look CLOSELY and was shocked at the picture of Jordan. Wow, has she changed. Picture showed her in a black number( I won't dignify it with the word...dress). The V cut was so low half her boob was exposed. Nah, Nah Nah.... that's not the Jordan I remember. And, I know she is older and a mother but, so were we once that age.... I really mean the black top exposed most of her boob to the nipple.  I would never have worned something like this.

Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: Snowbird on November 12, 2023, 05:57:51 PM
I hate to hear that about Jordan.  I loved Jordon.  She was such a sweet and innocent girl.. I remember Jill and I got into it over it because she called her stupid and I tried to tell her she only had a learning disability in the area of numbers.  She could not seem to get the concept of change and telling time.  I had taught children like her.  Of course, Jill thought she knew everything. Al got mad at me for arguing with Jill but later he turned against her.  She and I are still friends.
I know I am getting off the subject, but do any of you remember Laurie's last name?  And is Al still alive?

Back to BB, I loved the show this year mostly for the same reasons you did, Barb.   I did like Cirie better than Felicia and thought her relationship with Matt was sweet. I think Jag was the best or luckiest player I have ever seen on BB.  I was very pleased at the final two.  I didn't want Bowie Jane to be there and appreciate that Jag kept his word to Matt.  That showed his good character.,
Title: Re: General BB discussion
Post by: ponytail on November 13, 2023, 11:57:32 AM
No clue as to what happened to Al. Haven't even thought about them for years!
It was a pretty good season all in all. They did the smart things and got out the good players as soon as they could and then sailed away. Good final two, but Matt was woefully unprepared for his speech! It will be interesting to follow his journey with Reilly.
Title: Re: General BB discussion

Have no idea about Al, and wasn't the girl's name Laura?

Think it might be Cameron on Reindeer games.

I wouldn't mind that at all. Something different, looking forward to it.

I saw Cameron, too. I’d enjoy him. I also read that Jordan and Derek, Frankie have sometng to do on the show.  Julie will not be on so not sure if the ones like Britney and Frankie will host and others play. But either way, it should be fun to watch. :)
