BB12: Week 10 Discussion

Mechanical Bliss wrote:

Icky. I'm curious to see the follow up interview involving the feeds getting cut. Apparently she doesn't "love" the live feed watchers as much as she claims--probably because she does get called out on bullshit. Maybe it's just her way of extending her middle finger to us lowly viewers and saying "look who really has the power in this relationship, bitches."

And more conservative? What does that even mean exactly? It's more like more prudish. But like with that letter y'all posted by Brendon's sister, clearly BB has no problem doing some sleazy muckraking. I was not a big Brendon fan, but his sister was right, that interview was a low blow. BB used to buck the reality show trend and now they embrace the sleaze.

How is it real emotion too when pretzelgate happened? According to Matt, supposedly the DR played dumb about it on top of it all. Clearly that's something totally disallowed in previous years and is an inherent break from the whole concept of a sequestered jury member to have them influence the game so blatantly. It's more like manufactured emotion.

She sounds like a corrupt politician, CEO, or public relations rep. She sounds less like an actual fan and more like someone who thinks she figured out a "successful" formula and will defend it no matter how twisted her reasoning. Thanks for sharing that interview though I was curious about that when PJ mentioned it.

It is only a matter of time before AG may say the hell with all this and jump ship. Wonder what ever happened to Arnold Shapiro? He seemed to have moved on after the All-Stars season and I think he got extremely fed up with all the call-outs he was getting about various events that were happening in the game and the truth on what was really going on. It was very apparent when he appeared on the CBS House Calls show with Gretchen.

The 2nd part HOH last season was jordan and natalie putting the hoh's in order by rolling the balls up that ramp thing into the hole in the correct order.

I dont see it being anthing like dick/danielle or adam/sheila did because that would be too time consuming to do on a long show.

wow, that brought back memories BG. I had forgotten about that. I now remember that everytime Jordan got a ball in the correct spot the live audience started cheering...lol. I also remember Jordan killing it...LOL!

I actually think when AG took the reigns is when BB seemed to get more sketchy. Which all started in season 8.

Don't you guys remember back in the day when they would show what the HGs from the previous season are up to now and would show a small package on them each week? I did kind of like that. Even though with all of the technology that's out there that we do know what they're up to for the most part I did like when they used to do that.

I don't think AG will bail on BB, regardless of how many complaints she does get. Especially with the numbers being in her favor. What about taking some pride in what you produce and not trying to manufacture garbage. I am also interested in reading up on the follow up interview.

Tonight's BB episode was pretty sad. You could hear a pin drop when Lane and Enzo completed their HOH comps, and when Julie announced the winner of Part 2 of the HOH. (I absolutely loved last year when the audience was cheering for Jordan when she was kicking Natalie's ass in the HOH comp and when she was declared the winner of Part 2 HOH). This year, there was no excitement....nothing. It was pretty predictable that Lane was going to win anyway since he did respectfully well in the comp. What was also very telling was on BBAD radio show, there was more discussion of the jury house than the competition tonight between Lane and Enzo. There was no discussion of the endurance comp lasting over 2.5 hrs and Enzo falling off under 20 minutes. (Something that we may have not seen if we did have the feeds available). Let's face it, it was more entertaining seeing Matt revealing the truth about his lie to Ragan and watching Ragan and Rachel continue their feud. Looking forward to the finale episode. The last HOH round is really a test on how well the final 2 know the jurors and I actually think that Hayden has a better chance than Lane to win this. I just didn't see Lane talk too much with the HGs this season except the Brigade and Britney, and I think Hayden took more of an interest in getting to know people outside of the Brigade. Well, I'll be watching.

Did we forget football season is amongst us. What is this big BOTHER you speak of.

19 minutes?????? Are you "f"ing kidding me??????????

I find it ironic how Enzo was the first to want to get rid of Matt b/c of his side alliance & that he may not be loyal to the Brigade, but Matt hasn't even outed the Brigade in the jury house. But, you know if Enzo ended up in the jury house he would've outed the Brigade in a heartbeat!

I do agree with you TJ. Come to find out Matt was very loyal to the brigade. I can see 2 sides of this though. We know that Matt was loyal because here we are watching everthing unfold, but if I were in the house I might have seen things different. If i were there and saw Matt getting closer and closer to Regan and then that BB paranoia sets in...lol. Who's to say what we would do or where our minds would take us.

Just a quick look at the feeds and Enzo is sitting alone at the kitchen table eating while Lane and Hayden are on the outside couches patting themselves on the back for a game wellplayed. It's like watching Ragan and Britney to some extent rolling over and dying. At least try to fight to win for second place!!

I thought this was funny...



and this one...

That is hilarious Lorraine!

Really CC? I hadnt heard that...too bad they didnt do that earlier in the season. Better late then never I guess..lol

You guys gotta read this great research article by Andy Deerhart from RealityBlurred. He shows his frustrations with how AG depicts the houseguests on TV.. More like lack there of.

Thanks for sharing this article PJ! For the most part, Enzo and Lane (with the exception of the Britney/Nick relationship) were very lucky that they had a good edit on the TV Show. Lane is right...I can barely sit through 10 minutes of Showtime Afterdark so I did not catch Lane use the "f" word (gay slang) on TV, "no one is watching afterdark." Yeah, it was fun watching them play pool tournaments for the first 2 or 3 times, but that is what the show was about this year. I wished Hayden flipped the pool table over after he smashed all the pool sticks in the backyard.

I just want to inform eberyone he reason why they didn't play chess this year. After Captain Kosher's eviction the two queen pieces went missing.

PJ, I didn't think they were smart enough to play Chess anyway. Andrew left after 27 days into the game. Did anyone play chess before then?

Tonight's episode was a yawnfest which summed up the soon to be forgotten season quite nicely. Kristen ate a spider, more footage of the Zingbot 3000, and "The Office" ripoff of "that's what she said"?! All the other scenes were straight from previous episodes, but they may have touched further on Rachel's annoying laugh. It was so sickening to hear how great the final 3 "thought" they were. Interestly enough, they really gave no credit for Matt in tonight's episode for the success of the Brigade. Whatever, can't wait for BB13! SMOOCHES, PLEASE APPLY!!

Thanks for the recap nicolefan. Glad I didn't bother watching!

I didnt bother either. I watched about 5 minutes of it and thought to myself, I was bored the whole season why would I watch a recap?? CLICK!

Thanks for the replay, I didn't watch the episode. I don't fit the BB stereotype or I would apply...Thanks though!

I didn't watch it either... Waste of an episode.

Has anyone been following the feeds? What's going on there? Has Enzo been pleading his case or did he let death take him?

Wow, I'm a little bit surprised that so many of you decided to bail out on the episode last night, and yet I wonder if there is really any excitement to sit through a 2 hour finale this year with the final 3 that are left. People are more excited about the Vegas bash this year than the results of this disappointing season. Anyone from this forum going to Vegas this year? It sounds like a party for the ultimate drinker!!
