Big Brother 20

Anyone watching?

I wasn't going to watch this season. I didn't want to devote all that time watching it. I ended up watching a few minutes here and there. It's the same type season after season. The only one I took a general liking to was the female welder. She seemed honest and genuine. She won't last long. The flight attendant stood out as one of the most annoying. I might watch occasionally, but not three times a week.

I thought the casting was decent this time around too- much better than some seasons out of the gate- but good god, the technology gimmick is stupid. Saying a show has “jumped the shark” is so overused, but watching a heat to heart with a ROBOT last night was too much for me. All of the special effects (yoga mediation sequence, “disappearing” in the challenges) are so hokey. They remind me of the effects in a middle school cctv school news broadcast. If someone is the robot every week, I don’t know if I can take it.

I don't think that I have ever watched a season of this show and disliked sooo many of the people in the house. I enjoy Sam, the tiny Mexican and the girl that looks like a rip-off of Toni Collette. I will watch it as background noise, but will not give it 100 per cent of my attention...

Swaggy C is there to promote himself as a character and nothing more. Big Brother loves the transparent celebrity wanna-bes, desperate for infamy via reality TV. His bad acting as a type A egomaniac is painful to watch. When Winston described himself as a "big fan of the second amendment", I knew he'd never actually read it. He's a big fan of guns. Not the same thing. And he only like girls who are "really into [him]", then admits that makes him sound like a douche. It's no surprise he keeps bringing up angry ex-girlfriends. Brett's obsessions with working out and everything "bro" sounds like he REALLY LOVES his GYMS full of MEN. I really like Sam, Rockstar, Kaycee and Scottie. The rest are annoying and/or boring. And as usual, the pretty people alliances are blissfully ignorant that they carry the highest rate of failures when it comes to winning Big Brother.

People are calling for JC to be removed from the house for his inappropriate touching of other houseguests. CBS didn't do anything when Jessica did the same thing last season, so I don't know why anyone would expect them to do anything more this time around. They love bigots, bullies and gropers! If they started acting responsibly, the show would never have survived past season 8. That was the season when the producers opened the doors wide open and embraced just about any behavior short of actual blatant violence (at least, any violence that could be easily proven from live feed footage).

On an interesting side note, I spotted Jeff Schroeder out on his morning jog yesterday morning. He's much shorter than I imagined.

Jeff's personal bio page says that he is 5'11"

Although for the most part I'm not watching like in the past, I keep up with the websites to find out what is going on. Last night, I did watch the vote, because I really wanted to see Swiggy (no typo) get the heave ho. I thought he was really rude and cocky to Julie during the exit interview. I was hoping she would put him in his place....but she didn't. Happily, his Big Brother game is over, no chance he is coming back into the house.

This is one of the weaker casts in recent memory. There are usually some people with some sort of charisma....but it is lacking with this cast.

I wish there was an app that could send the BOTH home. What arrogant a$$holes. It's a freaking game, and their behavior toward Scottie should not be allowed. I wish CBS were more proactive against all the bullying that goes on every season. (I get that makes good "tv", but I hate it.)



I think they're more pissed that a "dork" got them on the chopping block than anything else. SO glad that Scottie didn't fall for their final 3 proposal. If Sam uses her app on either one of them, she'd be a fool. (Of course, they teased she was considering using it for Swaggy - so it's likely not really something she's considering.)

Well, as stupid as it was, it does look like it was an accident.



Have you heard anything about racist comments? (One of the comments when I saw the clip you spoke of.) If this is true (again!) it's another thing the producers need to STOP hiding. Those "cool" kids want to act like asses? Show their true colors.

The only two incidents I am aware of are as follows. The most recent one involved a discussion with Bayleigh and JC. They were discussing the differences between little people and dwarfs. She asked him about midgets. He stated the word midget is a derogatory work used to describe little people and dwarfs. He said it was like calling a homosexual a faggot or a black person a n. She responded to him not to use that word and got upset. By the expression on his face, he did not say it in a malicious manner. He was using the word to educate her. (in my opinion). JC has more house issues that are far worse. He has been accused of sexually touching both the guys and girls. There is an incident involving an icecream scooper. I don't have details. Also houseguests were upset that he wasn't following the have not rules. The other incident involved Angela and Rachel. They were tanning and stated they were getting as dark as Bayleigh. I did not see the clip, so cannot comment. But I have had Black friends, back in the day when I tanned,tell me that I was darker than them. So I don't see the big deal if that is all what Rachel and Angela said. Again, I didn't see the clips, so I don't know if there were more/different comments.
