Why didn’t Taylor explain how she got Devens to take her to the end as her biggest move? I feel like trying to say that she was responsible for the Lyric blindside came off as BS and didn’t help her at all. It probably wouldn’t have mattered, Devens was winning regardless, but still.

My Yahtzee game on card games.io, I hate Bill and his smug fucking AI face so much.

They would bring the live move-in back to BB because not having the feeds for those first few days makes me feel like I’m getting dropped in the middle of something with no context when they get turned on.

Alright! Alright! I will buy you the gift cards. I need to you to just release my grandson from FBI custody. Please.

"Houseguests, this competition is sponsored by DoorDash. On my go, you'll have to run across the backyard to scrounge up tips for your Doordash driver. The person with the highest tip will be the first Head of Household of the season!" [Ashley in the DR, tearing up] "I, like, I can't do this. First HoH and I already can't fucking do this. I'm so over it."

Had the most insane cracked out cast in BB history. Josh and Chelsia telling Amanda she should hang herself like her dad did while chasing her around the yard making choking motions, the rumored hot tub orgy, Jen calling her irl boyfriend racist to try and stay in the game (and then having sex with him in the bathroom anyway which also somehow was a segment the actual episode???), Adam and Matt going to prison after the season for taking Adam's winnings and trying to start a drug ring. And who can forget Sheila and Allison making up that they were lesbian lovers for no reason? v

That I (sort of controversially) think is revisionist history is “Danielle would have won BB3 if the jury was sequestered” — them getting to see the DRs definitely didn’t help, but Lisa just did not make very many enemies or have to do much in the way of backstabbing. Her main alliance tried to flip on her first the week Eric was evicted and it was never really held against her that she ended up going over to the Danielle/Jason/Marcellas group. If you’re paying attention you’ll also pick up on throwaway remarks people make about Danielle being aligned with the whole house (and being rubbed the wrong way by her very un-subtly targeting Roddy) which weren’t edited to seem like a huge deal when the episode first aired but end up being foreshadowing for later.

That feels as out of place in the show's continuity as BB9? It really felt like they cast people that thought they were going on a dating show and had no idea what Big Brother was or how it worked. The first few episodes when they have the couples twist is edited like some sort of weird Love Island/Big Brother deformed child show. Some of this probably has to do with the fact that the season was thrown together so CBS would have something to put on TV during the 2008 writers' strike. They also dial the "2000s reality trash TV" vibes up to 11. It's definitely a bottom-tier season for me but it still has this sort of strange off-putting charm because of how weird it is.

It's crazy how Rachel Reilly ended up becoming such a BB icon given how she was obviously cast as a lolcow character that production thought would be a complete trainwreck her first season. And to a certain extent, she was! She got clowned on in the edit constantly, lost every argument (except "floaters grab a life vest") she was involved in, casuals largely thought she was annoying. And despite all of that, she left the game with a man AND then came back and won the next season (which is its own saga in and of itself). Is there anybody else that's ever brute forced their way into legend status through sheer force of will like that?

Public instagram appeared in my recommended and based on their posts I’m pretty sure they know the entire office talks shit about them for being dumb/incompetent. We got a rat y’all.

A little irrationally annoyed about how Tengaged went down when I still had 2000 T on my account. Imagine how many pixels I could have bought with that! Carlos Fernandez owes me some sort of compensation.

With the exact same 14 newbies but take the icons out, how does it change? I kinda feel like Chuk/Kamu/Haley still align, Taylor/Lala still align, FAP forms a lot earlier (and is a more solid group) without the icons to influence Drew/Barrett. I think Rome/Lyric/Jason also end up being a power alliance and there’s a lot of paranoia about needing to “split them up before jury” or whatever.

Put me in charge of Big Brother, give the show a budget increase and let me plan all the twists. The week 1 twists they've done the past couple years have all been kinda boring? The BB Buyoff power was a cool idea but the mastermind's accomplice twist was a giant nothingburger. And then this season it was just competitions for safety and then a comp for one of the icons to get HoH. Lame! The audience cries out for a week 1 white elephant gift exchange for various powers and punishments.

BB28 is just not doing it for me the way 26 and 27 did. Kelley and Keanu being completely delusional and horrifically bad at the game yet winning comps and surviving week after week was such good food there really hasn't been anything that's held my attention as well this season.

In an apartment that’s a strange amalgamation of my dingy college apartment, my current place, and my aunt’s old condo from when I was a kid. And I don’t really even do anything I just wander from room to room (which are all disjointed and make no sense) then wake up. What is this supposed to be telling me.

Some credit this week, he tried to do his big one and flip on the icons. Did it work? No not at all lmao, but as far as I can tell he swept it under the rug with 0 blowback which is really funny. Solid C for effort.
