Hamster Headlines and Past BB Seasons

Amanda of Amanda and McCrae is being sued by the PA AG 

Is it possible she read this by poster Sheenafury from back in the day and took it as career advice? LOL!

Either that or she's secretly a vicious bitch who took advantage of helpless people, stole their homes and laughed all the way to the bank. Maybe she saw one of those late night infomercials on exploitation of homeowners. You, too, can destroy families for profit!

 

I couldn't remember her at all, so I popped into the archives to take a peek and found this little nugget on the second page. Looking at the list of names from that season is like a nightmare coming back. I'm kinda surprised most of them haven't been arrested!

I just turned on The Circle on Netflix.  It's the first episode of the season and who do you think is on it?  Brett!!  I have no further information because I immediately came here.  Heh

[Magpie]

Also on the Circle is an almost-hammie, Marvin Achi. He was supposed to be on BB24, but got pulled at the last minute when CBS learned he'd filmed The Circle and was also on America's Got Talent. (He was the one who Joseph replaced.)

The Traitors on Peacock, anyone watching? Cody (BB16) and Rachel (BB12) are competing. I'm thinking it might be worth a watch just to see them get locked in those coffins!

 

Also some former Survivor contestants and other reality shows https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Traitors_(American_TV_series)

The most surprising part of BB24's Kyle and Alyssa announcing their split was learning they'd actually tried to make it work for the past year!

Ew.

Let's hope this isn't an experiment for BB US, sorry, @gforce

The fans can thank themselves for this happening. After watching the unhinged behavior on social media (Twitter in particular) the past few seasons, I'd be cutting feeds as well. 

[nixiechick]

So..... in other words, they are tired of having to deal with the fall out of the never ending racists and bullies that they manage to somehow cast each and every year. You'd think by now they would have a top notch team doing deep dives into applicants lives and social medias. It really can't be that hard. I'm not saying the obsessive behavior on social media probably wasn't a huge factor, but if you're handing them things to tweet about on a silver plater, you have no one to blame but yourself at this point. 

 

[Magpie]

I see it more as a problem of social media users seeing things that are not there. I don't recall BB CAN having terrible casts, but maybe I have forgotten something. Of course, I don't think the US casts are generally all that bad, either, other than leaning too much into being "influencers". 

[gforce]

I don't think there's been too much controversy on BB Can that I can remember. Really though, the BBCAN feeds were FOTHed so much in later seasons that they were not that useful anyway.  That said, if they get rid of the live feeds, why not just do the whole thing recorded like Survivor?  It's the one thing that has always made BB unique.

As someone pointed out in that article's comments, viewers would now be completely at the mercy of editing to see how HGs are portrayed.  Producers are completely free to form whatever narrative they want, which.. eh.
