As someone who deals with mass quantities of people in confined spaces for long periods of time, I get to watch how humans deal with things they can't control and/or leave to escape what they don't want to be around. Like I posted weeks ago, BB can turn into Lord of the Flies. Choosing to be an ahole when you are in control and don't have to be that ahole is a choice. Most reality winners don't win with grace, I get it, but some do. Matt would have thrown his game into the toilet for a blond he just met, Bowie should have been gone before Red, Jag won this season in my eyes once Cam was gone and he misted the feeble and won comps.
I watched Cirie and Felicia in the backyard yesterday finally vocalizing how they got rid of their "team" and tanked their own game, giving HGs at the time doing nothing the win week after week.
Sorry Cirie, Jared would not have saved your game.
I will repeat myself for the 4th time, BB had the chance to make the 25th season epic. This viewer will remember this season only for Felicia's loud horse laugh and her ever present robe, yelling at BB for more food.
Happy Halloween

Checking in after being BB free since Thursday. I see I made the right choice to skip the feeds and Taran's updates. Watching Cerie mist her way to a win was the last possible interesting thing for me, so I am gonna stay BB Free. I'll check in here and FF the shows just to see if anything interesting happens, but I agree with the Pamy - this has devolved into one of the worst seasons ever.

This has devolved into a year of disgust for me as well. I am not sure if it is the worst however, the Friendship ranks up there pretty high on that list.

To me the last few years have been really bad. When you can predict who going to win in the 4-5 week and be right it is bad…

That alliance was bad.. But there were bright spots too.
I was able to go to that finale and CBS was making a huge effort to control reactions.
First of all, the audience was stacked with CBS employees and those they brought.. Some people waiting to get in had been lead to believe that Maggie was nice and popular.
We were told that booing would get you removed.
CBS had made fan signs. The Maggie sign was a hard sell. I was sitting with a TVCH member and we got a Janelle fan sign! After the show we gave it to Janelle's mom who was near us in the audience with her friend Nate.
So no booing but the clapping was distinctly louder for all the Sovereign Seven and muted for the Friendship. I am sure audio was modified for broadcast.
Maggie lost her job due to disparaging remarks about certain types of patients. I eggs lost her girlfriend, Maggie. Maggie had been online and posting and I got to know her and while I was not an Yvette fan, I would tell Maggie good things to look for, nice screenshots. While we were waiting to go over to the house, Maggie arrived with Ivette's parents and I spoke with them. Very nice people. But later, in email, Maggie said that seeing Ivette's on BB and afterwards, she wasn't the person she loved and they broke up..
The only other time I went to finale, with Lanzee, was the season won by Drew. We sat in the sun on bleachers outside and opposite us were Jase and Holly being obnoxious, and I got such bad vibes from him. Pretty sure if I was ever near Boogie, the vibes would be bad, too.
This season has been disappointing for many reasons, and too long as well.

The whole Kappy Kappy Kappy and Maggie alliance was annoying and they were a total turn off.
These people annoy me because they have zero personalities.
Jag is passive aggressive and his victimhood approach at the beginning when he was constantly being put on the block annoyed me.
Matt - had zero personality. Forget that he is deaf, he never stepped up other than to be someone's coat tails.
Bowie - Who?????? probably the most annoying because women like her annoy the crap out of me. They don't step up, they want to ride someone's coattails. They have zero opinions or don't express them unless the majority already have.
Felicia - her personal habits disgusted me and dI just couldnt get past that. popping her teeth, loud obnoxous attitude at times, never taking robe off and lack of any loyalty.
Cireie - Survivor gameplay doesn't work in BB.

The current 15+ year producers have been raked over the coals online for turning BB into a dating show mixed with DR manipulation and some really heinous what they think is favorable fun stuff
Read the book

They do love that the resulting couples have a better track record than any of the dating shows, but it is just annoying.

Could it be that we are the problem?
I would bet that if we went back thru the archives of the past 24 seasons of BB, that in at least 10 of them some of us would have posted:
1. This is the worst season ever
2. They ought to just go ahead and write (fill in a name) the check (In just this season, early it was posted just write Cirie the check and now it is just write Jag the check)
3. Can't stand any of those that are left
I think back on the Jun/Allison season, Evil Dick's first season, The Friendship season, Derrick's season to name a few where the same things were posted.

One positive with this season is the diversity and age span of the players . It wasn’t a bunch of 20 yr olds just trying to become the next celebrity.

True Lakecat, but we do have the 45 year old barrister, pretending to be 35, wearing little pigtails, trying to boost her DJ career (if that is even real). LOL

The Friendship was Season 6.
Now, I hated the RESULT of that show (Maggie winning) but I was glued to the feeds and was obsessed with the show week to week.
The Friendship was counterbalanced by Kaysar and Janie, James and his girl (?), and who could forget Howie? There were epic twists and turns, and sure some horrible gameplay - Howie nomming his own alliance members with some twisted logic for the veto; Kaysar losing the PRESSUE COOKER because he trusted an opponent's deal. And I hated the Friendship and the whole Kappy obsession - but it was a case of loving to hate the bad guys and rooting against them, and feeling like maybe, just maybe, Janie could win her way to the end.
As Fan3 said, it's the predictability.

I give all of you credit that can stop watching or turn away from BB when you don't like the remaining HGs or who we most likely know who will win. I can't look away and continue to watch the shows and read here what's going on every day. I do not like the final 5 but want Bowie gone the most and wish Jag wouldn't win, but I don't see that happening. Just waiting for it to be over and hope Celebrity BB will be better (at least we know that will be shorter)

Earlier today I watched the 3 hypocrites playing pool while the mamas cooked… now I’m home for the evening just in time to see the EXACT same thing being repeated for dinner… I think I’ll watch a movie…

Bowie can’t figure out the technology of the camera, I wish the mamas would make a comment about such a “YOUNG” gal not knowing such a basic gadget! Most 30-somethings do stuff like this in their sleep…

I’m rewatching BB 23 second double(when Tiffany and Hannah were evicted) and am stuck by how YOUNG Hannah was and yet so well spoken. Contrasted with Blue’s exit interview… wow.
Oh! I got some online results today! The tumor I have still needs to go, BUT! IT IS BENIGN!! I can just consider this surgery a “pruning” of sorts. I’m like the pirates on Davy Jones’s ship… just growing barnacles.

I was team Jun all season.
And yes, hated the outcome of the season, but was very engaged the whole time.

And it is my opinion that the two robe ladies have literally blocked anyone else from cooking just so they could call the others stupid and lazy. I watched one day as others tried to wash dishes and the white robe blocked the sink, the dishwasher AND the counter as the grey robe simply mumbled um hmm. I have zero sympathy for the robes.
