It should get easier when the aussies finish. I've gotten to used to going to bed earlier and waking up early for their show. Never mind, a few more days and I shall be back to being the insomniac that I usually am.

Can't wait until Brian's eviction tomorrow.

Just thought id pop on and say a) YESSSSSSSss for brian being up, and b) What a bloody brilliant episode tht was!

Not a bad episode.

I'm kinda annoyed, they didn't show the bedroom 'scene' in it's entirety.

They were all able to quote Jerry on what Brian had said!

Ollie, you just showed you can't be trusted, hmmmm
You may have saved the day this time, but I have a feeling this will bite you!

Roll on tomorrow. (Oh and Brian and Dan's face...to quote Mastercard. Priceless!)

In terms of entertainment, Brian leaving is the worst choice. He got a hatchet job in the highlights, he's actually very funny and creative on the feeds. If he does go Wednesday which is about 95.555% certain I hope they show his fun side.

This was a good season......

Howie, Janelle and Kayser

He's way overplayed it....A large helping of just desserts there

He got what he deserved! This is basically only week one! You can't go all out like that and think you'll get away with it!
Will, he is not!!!!
You can tell that is what he was trying to emulate.
I hated Will!! But he knew how to play the game! Boy, did he play it well.

I'm actually impressed Libra, was astute to pick up on the whole thing.

Steph

Yeah, loving Libra right now. In terms of entertainment I think Brian getting evicted is actually the best choice, it will be so satisfying to watch!

Keep it in perspective.
Will played BB2 with the luxury of having no Vetos stuff things up. He didn't get nominated and rode through. The game was much easier to play those many years ago.

Brian got his intended nominations through manipulation and I applaud that. That's game play. No one stood up to make a move. Yes, he played too many sides too soon but the main cause for his downfall hinges more on Ollie turning like a worm the second a bint shakes her sweater puppies in his direction. The house seems to forget how quickly Ollie turned and some people trust him now? Amazing. Once a snake always a snake.

The house is in honeymoon coasting mode. If anything, Brian made the first week interesting which is more than I can say about the Catty Crew and/or Team Righteous (Michelle/Libra/April/Ollie).

That lot are boooooring but are doing the exact same thing they chastise Brian of doing. Except they can only do it as a posse because there isn't enough self-assertiveness and courage for one person between all of them. Just like the Nerd Herd.

If Brian is trying to become the next Dr. Will, Libra is trying to become the next Maggie. Book it and act all surprised when I mention I called it this early.

The wrong person (Brian) is leaving tomorrow.

I'm interested to see how the "live audience" eviction turns out -- this is the first time that they will have an audience since Series 1! Sorry, but this excites me for no substantial reason.

Ollie will just ask for forgiveness after it's all over, right?

The one thing I don't like about the US BB format is that it's hard to succeed if you're not a huge liar/backstabber. Making and subsequently breaking alliances is one of the main keys to "winning"... but that doesn't really feel like a win to me. Maybe I'm just naive.

And Libra is a "chameleon," Rob!!!!!

DELETED. Double posted.

Ollie will hide and suave with his ball bags behind April's skirt up until the point it doesn't advance him further. All showmances are manufactured bullshine. Even if after the wrap party they start dating it always turns to crap and bitter sweets in the real world. Always.

To win BBUS, you immediately target the couples (Ollie/April) and the wanton righteous (Libra). Leave the chaff (Renny/Jerry) to twist in the wind under a false sense of security. There aren't any bible thumpers this series but those should always also be targeted (BB8 Jameka & BB9 Natalie) as well. Anyone that uses "God" as a deciding force must go immediately.

Libra is cunning. She's attempting to become the linchpin among her minions under the guise of righteousness. Just like Maggie. I'm onto her game and it's a very slow burning dull one.

Are you kidding? OK. I'll go and throw my perspective glasss on....they are here somewhere...I've got them!
Didn't fancy a trip to spec's 'r' us again so soon!!


That is the silliest thing (well almost!) I have ever read!
You really think the game was easier? (I'd say tougher!)
OK, I am going to let you have Season One, THAT was just so daft!
Season Two was the defining moment as in 'direction' for the the US version!
Easy? No. He played it well! (Forget the veto!)
Just look at BB7 (All Stars) He played the exact same game! Finished 4th.

I hated Will...and still do! I'll admit however it was he who got me hooked!
Hadn't season 2 been a success, the show was gonna be canned. That's not a secret.


If you read a few of my posts from earlier, I agree with you!
Ollie may have 'saved the day' but will anyone trust him as in regards to the future? or any alliance?
It'll all come back and bite him...that I am certain!


I've also made that comment! (Do you read these threads?! )


Interesting? Yes. Stupid and idiotic? Well, I think you answered that!


To compare with Maggie is just hillarious!
Are you joshing me? Or are you being serious?
THIS IS ONLY WEEK ONE!
Maggie had no game! Libra is no Maggie!

Libra, at least was quick of the ball and realized what was going on tonight!

Maggie coasted her way to the final, by doing nothing! - besides being a bitch! (everyone else did her work!)
(You do know BB6 April & Ivette dissed her off at the BB6 Afterparty? Neither wanted anything more to do with her!)

Most underserving winner in BB HISTORY. - NOW I'M MAD!
She may have won the show, but she did lose her job and a hell of alot more!
Soz for O/T!

As for your last comment. I don't disagree.
Brian shouldn't leave tomorrow. He could be a great player!
He just played to early!

There is a whole day where it can all change...so who knows!

It's kinda nice having a polite debate on here!

If we all agreed, wouldn't the world be dull!

Steph

The only difficulty was the new format but Will had less obstacles to confront than BB3 and onward when Veto was introduced which threw a spanner into the mix. Will's game was keeping himself off the block each week and admittedly so, he did that masterfully. Through manipulation and Chilltown's blind devotion did he advance. It took until Nakomis in BB5 with the "five-finger plan" for the Veto to be somewhat controllable and the backdoor plan exposed. Now we see it all the time.

It was not the same game. He had a pre-established alliance via his popularity before Julie even said "go" on Day One. All-Stars was a farce and completely manufactured. It should never be used as a comparison to "pure" seasons. In my opinion, All-Stars was a waste of time. Thankfully, the format will never be done again.

Also Steph, you severely underestimated BB6 Maggie. She was pulling the strings the entire time with the Nerd Herd. Maggie got JBlo and April and Ivette to do all of her bidding. The broadcasts rarely touched on this but having watched the live feeds that year (a great year I must say) she was mind-warping her group like an evil psychiatrist with finger puppets. The Nerd Herd sat in HOH and did nothing but trash their enemies in Janelle and Howie and James and Kaysar... daily. If trashing the SOV were a paying job they should have been unionized with full-pension benefits.

I see Libra steering toward the route. Week one or not... she is very controlling. We shall see I guess.

I'm not denying Maggie!
But again you are posting what I said! ....Everyone else was doing her bidding!

We'll have to wait and see what becomes of Libra! It's so early!
Jennifer 'Blo' Vasquez....we all need to forget her and shame on you for even bringing her name onto this thread! ''

This is so gonna be a good season....only because I'm having deja vu with BB6! (not you)
But the debates will be fun!

Steph

To answer your previous question about whether I've even read the threads on here, I'll admit I have not.

I only read the ones I've posted in because I'm very conceited and haughty.
But it's nice to know we share similar opinions despite embattled in "serious discussion"
So why are we debating then?


Until next time Steph.
I will thwart you with unreasonable charm and a bad sense of British syntax.

I look forward to it!

Syntax! You Bitch! You gold digging whore!

Steph

you two, get a room

I'm so disappointed Brian is going to go, from the live feeds he is one of the best housemates.

I guarantee you all will be hating the Libra, April, Ollie and Memphis alliance within the next week. They are all now even more smug than Brian was, they think they have the entire game planned, who is going go and when they are going to go, it's apparently going be Dan next, then Steven, then Jerry, then Angie, then Renny and so on. They already think they will be in the jury house no matter what, saying early this morning "We don't want to be living in sequester with an old perv (Jerry) and a crazy woman (Renny)".

If that was to happen it means they'd have to win every HoH and every PoV and that just isn't going to happen. Can't wait till they are taken down a peg or two.

Plus them bitching about Angie all the time just because she's mates with Brian is annoying. Saying she can't hang out with him because it makes them seem like they are in an alliance!

What!!!

First of all having no Vetos makes it harder surely?! You don't have a chance to save yourself, so the only way to make sure you stay is by strategy and manipulation.

And he didn't get nominated?! Did you actually watch Season 2? Will was nominated nearly every week and he was the target to go and yet he convinced them to keep him every time.

Also you say he had Chilltowns blind devotion, Chilltown was taken out within the first four weeks, Shannon went early and Boogie followed not long after, Will was totally on his own.

There is a reason Will is called the best player to ever play the game and Season 2 is why.

For two episodes in I've been very entertained, more so than BB8 and BB9...I don't really want Brian to go because he is providing a lot of drama, but hopefully they'll break into alliances soon.

I'm not sure why but my favourites are Dan, Michelle and Keesha...well actually I know why I like Keesha

This doesn't have much to do with the actual episode, but I love the new titles
