BB24 House Analysis and Discussion

[Magpie]

That was one of the best live eps in a long time! Total chaos, I love it.

I loved the awkward pause after Julie’s curt “We’ll be right back…” while production scrambled to go to commercials.

Pretty good perspective from ChenBot regarding the controversial treatment of Taylor.  

Quote

What I think Taylor has experienced in the house and what we've seen on the live feeds are separate from each other. A lot of it has been classic Big Brother trash talk behind someone's back because you feel threatened by them. In many ways, Big Brother is like high school on steroids. And if you were to ask Taylor, you know, prior to becoming a replacement nominee, she simply was not aware of how much jealousy there was.

So I would say, let's all take a pause. Let's try not to judge. Please leave the judging to the judge: Father God. And let's exercise some compassion for one another. We don't know what it's like to go through that Big Brother house. Have some mercy and some grace and some forgiveness. And if someone can come out of the house, sees what their actions were in the house, and learn something from it, and is humbled by the whole experience, then hallelujah! That's a beautiful thing. So I think people need to just open up their hearts a little bit more, and show some kindness and some forgiveness. Give someone a chance to change, to see their actions, and learn and grow from it.

And then Twitter promptly ripped into Julie for that.

I agree with you cops.  Taylor has a poor social game and you can't afford to do that in week 1.   She started that outcast ball rolling and in a game like this, the others are going to latch onto anything to bond over and deflect the target from themselves.  BB Twitter is so hateful right now!  They seem to forget that hammie bashing has been around since Season 2.  It's part of the game, along with lying.  You gotta be able to navigate relationships and deflect lies.    

I heard something interesting on a podcast the other day.   Previously, feed watchers had to work a little harder to get the feeds.  Now that they are on a popular streaming platform, more casual fans are able to watch feeds and get outraged over every. little. thing.   Made a lot of sense to me.

Lastly, I'm all about seeing the Chenbot nearly blow a fuse during the live shows.   I was highly amused that NOTHING production planned for week 1 went the way they originally planned.    Really poor time management for the live show too.  You'd think by season 24, they'd have their crap together, but nope.

It's refreshing to see common sense being utilized. Game play is and should always be game play. Social interaction has never been my strong suit, but it's extremely important in the game. And while I don't like Paloma's exact brand of cattiness in the real world, in the house it's game play. Probably a strategy that is going to bite you in the butt eventually, but still...

My guess is the eviction will be taped Thursday and air Friday so production can stay on their schedule.

Which means we should prepare for feeds to be down from Thursday afternoon until late Friday night.

[Magpie]

I agree, @Tsylyst, especially since there's always a slim chance of a schedule change for the hearing. Their best best is to just hold the eviction as originally planned. 

[Sophy]

They've moved the show again ... hope this doesn't mean the feeds are down Thurs to Sunday! 

PROGRAM ADVISORY UPDATE: Thursday’s weekly eviction episode of

@CBSBigBrother (Twitter) will now move to a special two-hour episode Sunday, July 24 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on

Never mind.  I misread something

Remind me again.....who are we rooting for these days?  I want to say Michael because he's a comp beast (expect the unexpected!) and I haven't lost my admiration of Ameerah, but Sunday's 2-hour episode left me not giving much of a damn about any of the hammies. Change my mind!

[Sophy]

Personally I am rooting for Michael, Kyle, and Joseph - love how Kyle and Joseph brought together the Leftovers, and Michael is proving to be a comp beast.

[Magpie]

Michael is still my favorite, but Taylor's OK by me as well. 

[copssister]

And just like that, I mention Ameerah and she's blindsided. I should know after all these seasons to keep my favorite hammies' names out of my MF mouth.

Read some recaps on Twitter and it appears Kyle has been asking Jasmine about her injury. Seems he may be questioning whether she's milking it - or getting faulty advice from the BB docs. Sprains are supposed to be rested for only the first few days, but then lightly used as it recovers to avoid atrophy. I may have argued against Jasmine milking it until I recalled her very fake accent and stereotypical country slang which magically appears in the DR.  What do you think - bad doc advise or milking the injury to avoid comps?

[centraliaclerk]

Milking the injury - definitely.
