Hint: On December 21, 2023, the CBS reality TV series Big Brother Reindeer Games aired its grand finale, crowning Nicole Franzel as the winner. She defeated runner-up Taylor Hale in the final holiday-themed competition to claim the $100,000 grand prize

It would be great for Nicole to come back, but I don't think she would leave her family for that long. Since we heard that it was Angela, Rick Deavens and Dee, I still think the 3rd one will be Dee.

She went to December 20th 2023, not the 21st..The 20th was the night of the Survivor 45 finale which Dee won so that’s how they bring her in the game.

I was enjoying it right up to the first announcement that two of them would not be able to compete to be safe followed by the other 12 being told they could not compete to be HOH. Then Rachel appeared and I turned the channel so thank you to those who posted the outcome. Producer manipulation has jumped the shark in the first episode. I think the time travel theme will be utilized any time the producers want to change who is going home. I do like that 2 of the ladies commented to each other that Angela will an easy first evictee. If only the producers will allow it. Otherwise what a horrible way to start the first week.

I liked the first show. I liked the twists and the comps. I'm not upset that sometimes people can't compete and sometimes people are safe. I think it's going to be a fun season. I predict the reality folks will be gone early, unless these HGs are really dumb. One of them already whispered to another "we can't trust Devins". It will be interesting to see if the reality show folks can find a way to stick around. That will take some really good game play.

One of the three will be HOH. Not a great start. And.. Julie announced that viewers get a chance to influence something.. Tune in tomorrow.

Did everyone notice the skeletal frame of "Rachel" in the volcano at the end?

I'm only halfway through the first ep, but I have to say I still don't like CGI in my reality shows. That's not reality.

I find Haley to be stunning. Hair, face, physique. I hope she ends up being interesting.

from what I hear, the audience vote is supposed to be that for the first 6 weeks, we'll vote for a HG to play a special challenge against a former HG each week, with a reward and a penalty at stake (likely it'll be set up where once a person wins a vote, they can't be picked again)

I have not watched it yet.. (and may not) ... but from the sound of it.. this thing with Rachel was pre-planed .. are they going to be bringing people back for a small amount of time and then have them leave - in "unforeseen" circumstances? ... I would think that this will interfere with live feeds (Extreme downtime) as they make us wait until the next show to see what happened....

I put the raptor's picture into the Google picture search, and it gave me this: This image features Blue, a female Velociraptor from the Jurassic World franchise. The results also pointed me to this website which tells more about Blue. https://spielberg.fandom.com/wiki/Blue

It looks like they got Blue from the Raptor Encounter at Jurassic World at Universal Studios Hollywood.
