Legit freaking out right now. :love:

[MB.]

The first all-outdoors Big Brother because the house got burned down :love:

[JayBlaze]

Big Brother with a survivor twist, you have to build your own shelter

[Calderyon]

Good for you.

Might check it out when it returns.

[Morgan.]

or they just found a new location ;)

Um no I dont think thats a possibility

[Glenn.]

Lowkey perched

[Natalie.]

I'll definitely give this a go, love BBAU

[Morgan.]

BBUS/CAN format

[LukeB]

BBUS/CAN format

:umm2:

I loved the points format. cancel it again.

Well its not confirmed, but bosses have said the live voting has gone, and that players will vote eachother out in a ‘survivor-style’ format - so it must be some form of the North American format.

[Josiah.]

They could be using the format used during the first half of season 8 (viewers nominate via VTS, housemates vote to evict).

[Eddie.]

I guess it's safe to say that Gretel is most likely hosting. She's been talking so much about the show and being so enthusiastic over it. I think this is the most she has ever spoken about it since she left...

[Morgan.]

Im not sure what she does tv wise these days, but I imagine her being on the masked singer was getting her back out there again, as well, and familiar to audiences.

[Eddie.]

She actually was on the Masked Singer in Australia recently. :laugh:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7540299/The-surprising-location-Big-Brother-2020-house-REVEALED.html

Channel Seven (the most likely broadcaster at this point) is most likely going to build the house at the Redfern Studio in Sydney where My Kitchen Rules Australia is filmed.

Makes a lot of sense since most Australian RTV shows are based in Sydney now.

[Josiah.]

This could mean that BBAU and Australian Survivor would both have the distinction of having been on Australia's 3 major networks.

[_Seth]

Oh my days I hope Gretel returns. She is the best host ever! :D

Gretel has respected and endorsed the purity of the early years and the importance of casting those who aren't on there just to win, so using the NA format would contradict that. I think the best option would be to use BB08's public VTS and then the housemates VTE.

[Marsh.]

I kinda liked Sonia.

[_Seth]

I kinda liked Sonia.

She was competent but damn was she a boring dullard. No personality whatsoever. Even Kyle and Jackie O were better.

[Eddie.]

https://tvblackbox.com.au/page/2019/10/22/big-brothers-big-changes-survivor-in-a-warehouse?format=non-amp

Apparently the North American format is going to be used and all of the series will be filmed beforehand. Really not liking the idea of a pre-recorded BB. BB is meant to be a live show.

[Josiah.]

Its just speculation at this point. Anything will be confirmed by Seven once their upfronts are announced.

[Eddie.]

And it's officially back...

BIG BROTHER
Twenty years ago, nine people entered a purpose-built house to be watched 24/7 by Big Brother and it changed TV forever! Life inside the house was fascinating, unpredictable, uplifting, confronting, shocking, surprising, hilarious and above all else, entertaining. In 2020, the world’s greatest reality show returns to shake things up. But if you think you know BIG BROTHER, then think again. This time, everything has changed. The thrilling new era of BIG BROTHER begins with a dynamic new house full of incredible surprises, new rules designed to create show stopping twists and a new generation of unique and ambitious housemates determined to outstay each other no matter what Big Brother throws at them. The only question is, when BIG BROTHER returns… are you ready to play? BIG BROTHER is an Endemol Shine Australia production for Channel Seven.

[Eddie.]

All my initial excitement has turned into disappointment. Can't get over the fact that the series is gonna be pre-recorded, they can adapt the NA format which I have no issues with, but BB is that type of show that is meant to be filmed and produced live. Not pre-recorded like Survivor.

[Eddie.]

I'm still giving it a chance though. :)

[Eddie.]

HpGqi7QWeaM

Luisa Zissman on CBB13 randomly appearing for a second amidst all the BBUS/BBCAN footage though. :joker:

Not the Big Brother: Power Trip graphics.

[Josiah.]

Looks like BBAU's revival will be like BBOTT and have the public vote for the winner: https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/reality-tv/big-brothers-return-to-australian-television-in-2020-speculation-about-host-and-show-format/news-story/b31feba189a8c849de370a98ce87e0b6

[Josiah.]

And the host has been revealed on the official BBAU twitter page and... Sonia's back!

[madman411]

Def gonna check this out. However if they've adopted the North American format I'm out.

Well considering it’s being prerecorded the best bet is that yes, they have.

So will we be able to view this in bulk somewhere at some point? :o

[MattySlug]

I am gonna try and watch the first episode live on actual TV! :dance:

It's on at 7:30PM Monday!

[Captain.Remy]

I will give this a go too, let's see how it plays out!

[Maxxie.]

has this aired yet or not? and anyone got a link/

[MattySlug]

It's still airing.
Finishes in around 17 minutes.

[Morgan.]

Great launch tbh! Would’ve been better live but I’ll take it

[BBUKAUSFAN]

Honestly terrible. Was way to fast paced have no idea who the housemates are, some didn’t even have there entrance videos shown.

[Maxxie.]

how can I watch?

[Captain.Remy]

That was the weirdest launch night.
I see the route they're going for but rules were not fully explained, the housemates arrived in the middle of nowhere with no crowd, there was no proper introduction by the host, the editing was a last minute thought, and lacking HMs intros was weird.

But I will say I always like the cheeky part of BB AU, the housemates seem lovely, Angela from Bevery Hills of Kenya is a scream!, Kieran is a genuine nice lad I'm rooting for right now, and of course Laura was the first evicted because she did fit that stereotype so well for a first evictee.

It's a mix of regular BB, BB UK and BB USA. I will give it a try for tomorrow at least, but they really need to improve the editing.

[Zizu]

Legit freaking out right now. :love:



Will we be able to watch it in the UK ?

[BBUKAUSFAN]

Also the first eviction wasn’t a shock cause if u watched the montage at the start u would have seen the housemate there were painting as going appeared in many things that haven’t happened yet.

[madman411]

Watching the first ep now. Such a strange start to the show. Weird without the crowds and entrance VT's. Love there seems to be some hints at the original format. The soap opera background music is unnecessary. Love we still hear BB talk.

Speaking of which, WHAT is with the HAL9000 voice?

[Josiah.]

It's probably just how one of the producers speaks... and they are most likely using a voice modulator/voice changer.

[MattySlug]

how can I watch?

I Just checked The P1rate B@y it's on there right now!!!
That means it should be elsewhere :dance:

[MattySlug]

I am gonna try and watch some again tonight for episode 2!

Also I just looked for Free Links and there are some, if you want them PM Me to point you in the right direction or I can PM the direct links. :dance:

[854]

First of all, it's not BB if it was filmed several months ago. But even if I let that slide, because a lot of crap is going on in the world, let me unwind and watch some BB.

I'm sorry, but this was a really weak first episode, and I'm debating watch the rest of the season.

When BB9 came back after a long hiatus, the launch was wonderful, and it was a nice welcome back.

However, after another hiatus, the same can't be said. This launch was really rushed and poorly edited. I didn't like how they would spend twenty minutes showcasing the first few that came in the house, then spend like five seconds if even that, on everyone else after.

I'm also really upset, that Laura was the first to go. I kinda related to her the most, oh well.

Probably not gonna keep on watching, but yeah.

[Wizard.]

I enjoyed it, love Anegla :clap1:

Agreed. Still have been wanting some BB fix that isn't American or Canadian. Will give this a few episodes and see how it develops.

The live aspect of the show is what makes Big Brother the show it is.

Also, any members interested in being able to watch BBAU 2020 shoot me a PM.

[BBUKAUSFAN]

The edit makes it very predictable who is going home as well, both times now they have had an OTT edit

[MattySlug]

Any chance I could get a link? x

Yeah cool I sent through a link for episode 1!

Last night I had to go to bed before the end of episode 2! :bawling:

[madman411]

I can't get over how outrageously irritating Allan is. Hallelujah he's out. :cheer2:

[Captain.Remy]

That was better episode, not gonna lie. I wish they cut out the music though.

Allan must be really embarrassed now :joker:
Nice to see the obvious evictee STAY! Kieran is such a nice lad and is given hell for wanting to stay, like wtf. But the housemates came through with that good choice!
Angela is our messy queen, we can only stan.
And now BB is throwing more people in...but we don't even know all of the ones in the house!

[Captain.Remy]

Hannah thinking Talia is a stripper :skull:

Talia is the villain and Sarah is a sheep and can't read people right.

Ooof at that elimination order and 3 people of colour evicted. Not a good look for the housemates.
There's a good article about it there: https://www.behindbigbrother.com/2020/06/big-brother-australia-has-a-racial-bias-problem/

But at least Kieran and Angela were safe, they're the best ones in there tbh

I don't think we've seen enough to determine any race issues in the house. It probably is mere coincidence. One of the issue with this format of Big Brother is that it's heavily edited and vast ranges of time are condensed. Nothing like the daily show we're familiar with where we get to see more. I'm skeptical about how much of this series is even real (this (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-8404723/Big-Brother-Australia-Xavier-Molyneux-Talia-Rycroft-exposed-secret-actors.html) article doesn't help either). Pre-recording allows for much more control about what we're seeing. It's not even a day or two - we're talking months.

I haven't watched episode three yet and don't have an opinion on Soobong, but I guess I know how it ends already. Laura and Allan were just overall irritating. Laura's VT was super annoying. I'm not surprised either of them are already out. I guess so far I would say this series is predictable.

[Headie]

Alol @ us being 3 episodes in and not a single white person has been evicted yet. This show is a parody of itself.

Angela is amazing casting :love: Just hope she doesn't fall victim to the obvious boot order :eyes:

Talia, Dan and Sarah are vile.

[Headie]

Laura has also said any conversations about race got shut down immediately :eyes: Very interesting, qwhite telling indeed

[starry]

Feels like a very heavy handed edit, it makes them one dimensional.

Jealous girl
Pretty girl
Guy who is basically just challenge threat - awful gameplayer

I liked the new HMs coming in at night, the crane seemed pointless though. The challenges are ok, but they only have a HoH, no veto competition.

[Marsh.]

An eviction per episode? What kind of mess is this? How many HMs are there?

The editing can go both ways. Either it's a pure coincidence but it still looks shady from a viewer perspective, or conversations about race were really an issue to some of them and it still looks shady.
Anyway, it doesn't look good though the housemates had "real" reasons (threatening, irritating etc.) to evict them.

[Captain.Remy]

An eviction per episode? What kind of mess is this? How many HMs are there?

So far it's an eviction per episode, currently there are 17 housemates left and 21 episodes to go. 3 make it to the finale.

And the challenge winner nominates right after! They should let them strategize a little bit. I see where they're going with this, it's not purely strategic but mainly social.

But they really need to improve the editing to make the housemates more deep.
I mean, right now Kieran is the outsider, Daniel the fragile bro, Talia the bitch, Hannah the IG influencer look-a-like, Angela the queen. We don't know the others tbh :shrug:

[Morgan.]

I saw Sonia say somewhere the public vote out of the top 2.

[irishdave]

Can anyone please dm me on where I can watch BB Australia? I have searched the past 3 days and cannot find it anywhere and it is driving me nuts!!

[Jay28jay2]

I've watched the first 2 episodes and really enjoyed them! Could someone tell me where I can find the 3rd one? I looked on the Channel 7 website and it literally spoiled the next episode for me smh (and also y'all need to put more spoiler tags).

I really like Keiran and Angela. Also, I think the editing is so obvious, and I think that the diary room sessions and Sonia asking questions before the eviction hints far too much to the contestants to form a narrative, like can we let it just be more natural. I don't know if episode 2's eliminee would have even been evicted without the question session.

[madman411]

I can help provide a limited number of people a way to watch the season. Shoot me a PM.

[MattySlug]

I only watched the final 2 minutes of last night's episode 3.
So I will try and get it to watch tonight!

The Show is back for episode 4 this Sunday Night!

[Jake.]

Can anyone send me a link? I might just give it a go

[MattySlug]

I will pm you Jake. :wavey:

[Joe.]

Enjoying this so far. Very far from the BB we know though and the editing is questionable. Angela is slaying. Please can people hide spoilers! Ta.

[Captain.Remy]

Queen Angela came through! It's so satisfying!
I wish they evicted Dan instead of Talia because I would have loved the drama after the show. But it was a wise choice, Dan is a physical threat but Talia was more dangerous socially. And her not wanting to say goodbye to Angela :skull: She had 11 votes against her, it wasn't just Angela.

A bit disappointed by Kieran. I get that he wanted to make sure he was safe, but I hoped he kept the whole plan secret. Now he's going to be seen as a "floater" and untrustworthy.

[Wizard.]

Yesterday’s episode was amazing!

Angela applying lip gloss during an endurance challenge was iconic! Screamed at Sophie trying to bargain for Angie to keep her and all her friends safe :skull: sis

Kieran is such a snake and if Tahlia’s minions go after her for revenge that’s so sad

[BBUKAUSFAN]

Angela gives me such makosi vibes and im living for it!

[Captain.Remy]

That one vote for Daniel was Talia's :skull:

I loved the shopping task a lot! That was fun to watch. welp @ those phobias :joker: The pigeons were a scream, and Daniel comparing his nose to a beak I-:skull:

[bbcanfan88]

This show has already had 5 hour and a half episodes and i still dont know half the cast. Terrible edit so far.

[Headie]

Hate Kieran so much.

Angela is a legend but once she gets evicted I can't see myself being interested in the show at all :skull:

Yeah, I'm watching for Angela, but as soon as she loses a challenge, she'll be on the block making me long for a veto challenge lol

[CaPPa]

Can't stand Angela, she still thinks its 'her house'.

So far Dan is my favorite, he's ahead by a nose.

[Captain.Remy]

Angela is on a roll, she's our Challenge Queen! A tea and prayers is all it takes apparently lmao
I just wish she nominated Daniel, but oh well, next time.
And I would so pissed if she's evicted before some of the unknowns in there. (there's a guy called Xavier apparently and there's another dude in there we didn't hear of one bit)

In regards to Kieran, he was already in trouble but now he's in BIG trouble. But at least his plan worked, but it's going to backfire so badly on him. He's the easy vote now.

The editing is still weird asf, but I found myself interested and hooked now.

[BBUKAUSFAN]

Intresting Intresting episode tonight

the producers clearly live for Angela and had to make a twist that kept her in, The Queen lives to see another day.

[Captain.Remy]

I actually skipped lunch with my work colleagues to watch it lmao

Angela now queen of Big Brother's Bunker :joker: And at the end of the day, it's her house so it's only fitting she gets to watch the others.
That was the closest eviction vote though, I thought she would get a lot more votes. But good on her!

[Headie]

Can't wait to see how this twist plays out :love: Genius!

[Jay28jay2]

I would've been contempt with the twist had it involved the previously evicted housemates, but it just feels rigged towards Angela. I love her and am happy she is not gone because she is great TV but it just feels like a complete rip off.

Edit: I also hope Ian realises that Dan will easily throw him out if he had the opportunity, Ian has a chance to win.

[starry]

This show has already had 5 hour and a half episodes and i still dont know half the cast. Terrible edit so far.

It's like Survivor Australia, every year a group of them never really get an edit.



They were too easy on the shopping task, allowed them loads of drops and they could still keep going to get money.

Ian talked about Angela being a threat yet she is also his friend according to him and so not a threat.

Angela will likely get voted out again if she returns to the house, her group needs to regain power quickly but with the physical challenges it won't be easy

[Wizard.]

Let's face it, this show wouldn't last without Angela and the producers knew it :love:

[Morgan.]

Can't stand Angela, she still thinks its 'her house'.

So far Dan is my favorite, he's ahead by a nose.

I think you’ve mixed up the names there luv

[starry]

21/06 Sun

Ian collateral damage for the entertainment, and I'm ok with it really. Even if it is manipulated it's an entertainment show and if Garth helps split up the main group all the better

The nominations challenge was ok as it normally is, but the reward challenge was boring.

[Captain.Remy]

That was the best episode so far!

Bless Ian because he was so innocent, I wish it was Daniel instead but that's what a good blindside is all about and I'm here for the entertainment and the drama.
Eat it Zoe for being so bitter all the time! Leave Kieran alone, he's a nice lad, this is getting tiring now.

Queen mf Angela did it! I don't think we've had such an fun "secret room" twist since the Bedsit in BB5 UK tbh. She's so good! Her comeback is going to be glorious.

Garth came through too, only to get beheaded by Angela later (I hope)

[Wizard.]

Felt bad for Ian, he was definitely collateral damage but needed to go for the numbers, Dan and his minions were becoming the majority. If only Ian didn't get into that group and evict Ang.

So confused by tomorrow's preview but perched for Angie's return!

Karma is a bitch for Zoe, taking away Angela's tea

[DrunkerThanMoses]

I was kinda liking this season but the blatant favouritism for Angela is kinda ruining the show now. She’s entertaining but I don’t like this twist benefits her; I wouldn’t have minded if people evicted after her went into the bunker as well and then they all had a chance to return but the fact that ain’t happening makes me want Angela to return and be evicted straight away to **** with production. This is blanant rigging that ruins the show.

Yes but without her the show is just Kieran being a mess, Casey moaning and Sophie and Chad being dull x

[Captain.Remy]

Without Angela, Kieran and Garth (and to a certain extend Marissa), they're all dull and not likeable.
There's a dude called SHANE apparently? Hannah was promising but she is someone you see on the background from time to time. etc etc

So yeah, I buy the Angela show 100%!

[Captain.Remy]

22/06 Monday:

I'm surprised at the 12 votes! What happened? Maybe Angela and her clique realized they didn't get enough votes to evict Dan so they went for Garth to avoid being too much targeted going forward.
I hope we'll get some explanation on the next episode because they really missed a good opportunity to get rid of Dan. Maybe it was Xavier's rant that changed their minds? Idk, but the preview for the next episode hints an upset for the popular group. Hopefully one of them goes.

By the edit, it looks as if Xavier's rant heavily influenced the voting. Everyone who was planning to vote for Dan knew their plan was scrapped immediately after Xavier outed Garth's duplicitous actions towards Angela. I also hope one of the popular group goes tomorrow. I'd be over the moon if it's Zoe, because she annoys me SO MUCH!

[Wizard.]

Yeah I think it was Xavier's rant, that came out of nowhere! Weird, also is he gay? The random comment about Chad being gorgeous had be shook.

I'm not too made though, Garth would've thrown Angie under the bus as displayed before he left, hope it didn't damage her too much. Just need Angie, Marissa, Hannah or maybe Kieran although I still don't trust him too much to win the nomination challenge tomorrow :pray:

[starry]

Not much made sense to me in that episode, so disappointing really. Good nominations challenge again though.

[bbcanicons]

I really wish they could get Daniel and Mat out already :(

[bbcanicons]

On the plus side, Zoe is gone :hee: ! I am elated

[Captain.Remy]

K bye Zoe! But any of the 3 leaving would have been fine with me.
If only Daniel or Xavier are evicted next, that would be great!
I lived when Marissa won! So nice to watch!

Finally Shane is doing something after being silent for 8 episodes straight! Too bad his plan didn't work, now he's a big target and surely will end up like Garth.

:skull: @ Sophie messing the secret mission. Like how was is NOT clear to not tell him about the steps? :joker:

And that alliance between the Queen and Matt that is hinted next episode. It better work out well for her!

[Wizard.]

Mess at Zoe evicting herself by voting Xavier because she thought her alliance would split the votes :skull:

Dan is dumb when the woman who won his team the only challenge wins they’ve ever gotten since Tahlia is gone.

[bbcanicons]

Mess at Zoe evicting herself by voting Xavier because she thought her alliance would split the votes :skull:
Actually, Sarah evicted Xavier and went against her alliance who wanted to boot Mat:skull:

[Wizard.]

Was a close one for our Ange, not sure how she survives this week tbh :worry:

[Captain.Remy]

It's gonna be tough to survive again for The Queen while so many of them don't do anything at all!

If she loses, we need her in BB USA!

[Aaliyah]

They're airing big brother during a pandemic? The ****? Australia is one ****ed up country

Tonight was a great series finale :love:

It was filmed before the pandemic hit. It’s a pre-record.

[Wizard.]

Tonight was a great series finale :love:

I haven’t watched yet but I know

Queen Angelicious is gone we can only hope Marisa and Kieran don’t go next! I mean never fully expected Ange to make it to the end but it was actually really dumb of the Alpha’s to get rid of her and not use her as they’re in the minority but whatever. Also Sophie putting up Kieran and Casey to ensure Angie’s eviction and keeping Mat and Dan safe after they went for Shane but ok luv.

In the words of Queen Ange they truly are dum dums. We can only hope BBCAN does another international twist and she gets to play that.

[Captain.Remy]

I'm so gutted :bawling::bawling:
Sophie is so dumb I can't even begin to comment on it.
Goodbye Queen Angela, you will be missed! A great housemate!

[Captain.Remy]

They're so dumb for not splitting the couple :rolleyes:
The shutdown thing is going to be interesting!

Officially caught up and I'm actually enjoying this a lot! It's fun and easy to watch, and there are some fun characters too. I'm a little worried about this show maintaining its form without Angela but the COVID episode looks enthralling so I'm really excited for it! Quick flash ranking of the people who are left.

1. Sophie (easy fave! I think her showmance with Chad is actually kinda cute, but more importantly most of her content is her sucking at tasks and throwing temper tantrums at Big Brother whenever things don't go her way :love: )
2. Marissa (I like her as an Angela appendage but she hasn't really done anything on her own to stand out?)
3. Chad (cute UTRP presence who should by all means have gotten sucked into the Alphas and yet wasn't? We stan)
4. Kieran (CONTROVERSIAL but I think he's been perfectly fine alol. Definitely a bit shoved down our throats too much and guilty of "it's too soon"-itis BUUUUT he's actually made me laugh a lot more times than make me angry and this is my truth! He's just such a disastrous creature and he triggers everyone in the best ways and I just kinda dig it, between him having absolutely no life skills and sucking at any physical tasks and literally saying to the enemy alliance "I'm bored, let's talk strategy :)" like I feel like a bunch of people just immediately hated him from the first episode but if you look at his content he is actually kinda good in a lot of ways?)
5. Casey (soooo stank and UTRN, what a gremlin :love: like even her eyebrows match her UTRN personality, it's remarkable)
6. Sarah (she.... exists?)
7. Daniel (okay so I think he is VERY MILDLY charming and personable and telegenic and not one of the worst of all time or anything, but he's definitely shoved down our throats way too much and his alliance is just ****e)
8. Xavier (I spent a while feeling like we were missing out on Xavier content, but then it turns out he's just a boring Alpha whose airtime I do *NOT* enjoy, like his whole CPN persona during the balloon task. No thank you!)
9. Mat (I *also* spent a while wondering what Mat content would be like, but it turns out it's just a bunch of mumbled jargon about BROKEN HILL and his Nom Challenge win was complete bull**** and he's very much just That Lad and my truth is that he's actually the true evil of the season, not Daniel :3)

[Macie Lightfoot]

ALSO I don't know if this is controversial or not but Angela totally played herself out and I think it's dumb to criticize other people. She and Kieran should've evicted Mat instead of Zoe, and then I also think she very easily could've spun things around in her boot episode so that it could've been her/Marissa/Kieran/Sophie/Sarah/Chad/Hannah vs. the Alphas instead of that weird Blue Room vs. Pink Room dynamic Daniel and Mat pushed on her. I'm not happy about her eviction at all either but it's not like she got screwed over or anythig.

[Captain.Remy]

Angela was in a dead end anyway regardless of who she would have sided with.
But at least she tried something before leaving. She understood the game but was too much of a character to be left untouched.
She's The Queen and really made this first half enjoyable to watch.

[Jay28jay2]

I’m not sure how to read edgic, could someone give me a heads up?

[Jack_]

This is the first BBAU season I’ve watched for obvious reasons!

It’s...okay. Not a fan of the long ass eps which is odd cause I prefer them on Ausvivor, talking of which they’ve definitely stolen the drone shots/music/editing style from them (with a BBCan intro and UK tasks) :joker:

The format is a bit of a mess, the nominees voting seems redundant to me and obvs I’m not a fan of the audience picking the winner. Oh and eviction nights are not tribal council so I wish they’d stop Sonia turning them into one :skull:

House is gorgeous tho, challenges have been clever and I really like Big Brother’s personality and in-house narration!

As for the housemates...

Most are kinda crap?

Angela is obviously amazing :love:

Talia nasty. Zoe was absolutely awful and her hate boner for Kieran bizarre, and it’s thanks to that we lost Ian as collateral damage who was one of the only other shining lights of the season

Kieran is annoyingly naive (and fgs will he take that damn spoon out his mouth) but frankly at this point I’m kinda rooting for him? :joker:

I like Marissa and Hannah, and the men I cba even commenting on because they’re basically all the same

Thank god COVID expedited the season cause I don’t think I could endure another 3 weeks of this lot

[Captain.Remy]

05/07:

I'm loving more and more the challenges. I know they're not grand or big, but they're smart and entertaining to watch.

Anyway, the usual hot boring guy who doesn't do anything finally shows up and talks after a full month in the house. And he delivered. Tbh I was surprised at him not targeting Matt/Dan instead of Casey but in hindsight he was right. Whoever was left from these two would have gunned for him harder, wheareas Casey is less dangerous. Xavier was the right choice.
I'm loving Kieran and Marissa being the swing votes. And I can still hear Angela's voice while watching lmao

[Macie Lightfoot]

I hope Alison Grodner is taking notes and getting ready to replace Hide and Go Veto with Musical Chairs!!!!

[Captain.Remy]

July 6th episode:

GUTTED!
I loved Marissa and was rooting for her and Kieran (and Sarah). I wish she kept her mouth shut and started talking after the nominations!
Casey winning at the worst possible time :rolleyes:
Tomorrow's challenge looks "tough" for Kieran again, but he needs to save himself! If not him then Sarah. I would love seeing her taking out either Dan or Matt.

[Captain.Remy]

I hope Alison Grodner is taking notes and getting ready to replace Hide and Go Veto with Musical Chairs!!!!

Yeah it just shows that basic challenges can be entertaining too, and don't need a huge setup and crazy decors. Simple is enough sometimes.
Most of the challenges in the basement have been really good, and the reward/shopping tasks too.

[Wizard.]

What a rollercoaster of an episode.

I went from being Team Chad/Sophie/Sarah + Marissa And Kieran to wanting Casey to win when Chad was dumb and wanted to go after Marissa thinking Casey would nom Sophie and Chad, but then I knew she'd be a p*ssy and chicken out and do Dan's bidding and nom Marissa (I could see Dan's telepathic death stare at Casey during the comp to nom Marissa) then back to Chad/Sophie/Sarah thinking they might evict Kieran but nope, they're still dumb.

[starry]

I thought the musical chairs was decent, but at the same time it was obviously far quicker and simpler to film than a hide and seek veto which I still find more challenging and interesting.

The finding of the advantage, something similar was done in BBCAN I think, was made a bit too easy, not putting it in a more surprising place.

All of the nomination challenges have been physical, it would be nice to fit in something mental. The shopping task challenges haven't been that great for me, and the BB judgement on them is far from clear, so they'll normally pass them whatever. The latest secret mission task seemed kind of pointless as a challenge as well.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Hide and Veto became trite and boring YEARS ago and it's so overdone. I don't find anything particularly interesting about watching people make messes for the sake of it for "good TV" either, especially when their idea of WaCkY TeLeViSiOn is like... needlessly dumping out all the food in the kitchen for shock value.

The only entertainment comes from the horror of the HGs having to clean up after themselves, but you really need a Sam Bledsoe to guarantee that.

[Captain.Remy]

07/07 Episode:

So risky for Sophie to pull out that move, Sarah could have flipped but I'm glad she didn't. I like Sarah, but now she needs to align with Kieran to make a duo and break the bromance and the couple.

It looks like the white room is coming up next, this is going to be good!

I'm wondering who will betray who according to the teaser. I don't see Chad/Sophie turning on each other, so I suppose Matt or Dan do which can be good news for Kieran. I see Matt doing it to Dan, because he's clever and probably knows Dan would win if he gets to final 3 (bookies have Dan as winner)

[Wizard.]

Whew we love the riggery for the people's favs!

[Macie Lightfoot]

Watching the latest episode and I am *SO GLAD* I have moderately subscribed to Kieran because he's easily the best non-Chophie left, especially with his hilarious OTTN edit as he terrorizes the rest of the house with his inability to perform any household task like washing dishes.

Daniel on the other hand :skull: him purposely wasting food to make messy dishes just to playground bully Kieran, and then GET UPSET at other people wining food rewards because he's losing so much weight in the house, like, pardon me for assuming that you don't care about food since you literally just created a scenario where food is seen as disposable and wasteful?! I'm getting Aaron BBUK12 flashbacks with his temper tantrum over the cereal food fight.

[Captain.Remy]

Dan is so insufferable. Always picking on Kieran, like, leave him alone ffs He's a nice goofy genuine lad. I hope Matt screws Dan over at some point.
And what a coward move from Chad, Sophie and Sarah to not have evicted Matt, but whatever :rolleyes:

I'm rooting for Sarah right now, I hope she comes through!

[Captain.Remy]

14/07:

Chad and Sophie really brought it on themselves didn't they? I don't support Dan but he made the right choice. Queen Angela was right about it all along but they didn't listen to her.
Rooting for Kieran to come back, Sophie is annoying anyway.

:skull: @ the over-dramatic teaser at the end :joker:

[Macie Lightfoot]

I mean Angela could’ve like... aligned with Chad and Sophie if she didn’t want them to target her. Let’s not rewrite history and pretend that she didn’t throw it all away for Daniel and Mat sadly.

[Captain.Remy]

Nobody is rewriting anything :shrug:
She was toasted regardless, but she was right about Dan and Matt since the very first days in the house. We stan a visionary Queen.

[Wizard.]

I’m sorry but Sophie NEEDS to come back, we cannot have a Dan, Mat and Kieran final 3.

This season has been good for drama. Screaming at Mat and Dans fumes in tomorrow’s teaser

[Macie Lightfoot]

That was probably the worst episode of the season eek. The removal of all the furniture was a complete waste of time and caused the HMs to just lie on the floor and bitch about how they want to go home. I thought it would maybe turn into some murder mystery type of task but it was a complete dud!

[Captain.Remy]

Yeah I didn't get the "robbery" either. There was no ending to it.
It was just to make them feel on edge I suppose.

[Wizard.]

An absolute scream at Kieran walking home with 15k, Zoe and Casey will be pissed :laugh:

Need Dan and Mat out now sour grapes

[Macie Lightfoot]

https://i.imgur.com/UqsDlYI.png

Thank **** for Sophie Budack.

[Captain.Remy]

So happy for Kieran! He wasn't going to win the grand prize anyway, so he made the right choice.
I hope Sophie/Chad/Sarah win the next challenge, otherwise I'm pretty sure Sophie is out again and Matt/Dan will win it all.
Still rooting for Sarah!

[NICKP]

Kieran was some sort of master strategist and ultimate game player That sure paid off

[Jack_]

The previews totally gave away the fact Sophie was returning, which is a shame because Kieran was much better television cockroaching his way to the end :love:

Deserved 50k too (like BBUK), not just 15! But glad it was on his terms

Also screaming @ Dan and Mat’s meltdown :joker: I respect them for that actually, normally when people return from a secret room it’s all fake smiles from everyone, they don’t even hate her they’re just pissed off which lol :skull:

[Captain.Remy]

20/07:

Poor Sarah, I wanted her to get to the end! Dan is a coward and I hope he loses. At this point, I want either Sophie or Matt to win. But AU will probably vote for Dan or Chad anyway.

[Wizard.]

Yikes! That was a mess. They obviously let Matt have an advantage and gave Sophie TWO disadvantages due to Matt and Dan threatening to quit / sulking. I mean Sophie already gave up 15k to get back in ffs. Matt and Dan tho, they were gonna get rid of Sarah at 4 anyway not sure why they’re making Sophie out to be the devil incarnate.

I’ve thought for weeks now that Dan has this in the bag, he’s had a really strong “winners” edit throughout and it definitely feels like they’re pushing him more than anyone followed by Sophie but I feel like they’re trying to make her come across as more annoying considering they played her saying that winning big brother is her dream three times in one episode when she only ever said it once.

[Macie Lightfoot]

https://i.imgur.com/hK1kvoF.png

Australia getting furious that Sarah of all people was Cirie'd :joker:

I actually could see any of the F4 winning under certain timelines so here's what I am going to say:

A Sophie win would obviously be ideal. She picked up the fumble at the Angela boot and has carried the show ever since. I think she's passionate about the game in a way that's actually interesting and between her quotables and temper tantrums, she honestly has been challenging Angela for my #1 spot of the season.

A Chad win would be perfectly fine, and I think he's the most likely option for being a hot guy and getting the anti-Dan vote. I like how someone of his aesthetic absolutely should have been part of the Alpha alliance, and yet he's spent his entire summer simping for Sophie :love: he's harmless and cute and mildly fun.

A Daniel win would make me roll my eyes, but I've been preparing myself for it because the show has been pushing him as A Season-Defining Character. I think he's kind of an ass but there's a minimal amount of charm there that I wouldn't be too upset at the end of the day.

A Mat win would be the worst case scenario to me. Being from Broken Hill is not a personality trait, Mathew!!!

[Captain.Remy]

The advantage/disadvantage thing was completely shady. Matt had an advantage but couldn't use it because Kieran pushed the button. Too bad, but it should have ended there.
And all of a sudden two disadvantages for Sophie coming out of nowhere too that nobody knew during the White Room twist. It looked so wrong.

[Captain.Remy]

I would rather a Matt win over a Dan one. At least Matt is likable and seems to be a solid nice dude. Dan is just...scared of birds, and his behavior towards Kieran was insufferable.

I don't see Chad winning in any scenario (him vs Sophie + Dan or Sophie + Matt or Dan + Matt). Nice dude too, but I guess not as big of a character as the others. That being said, in worldwide BB history, we've come to see A LOT of nice bland housemates win over more entertaining ones.

A Sophie win would be ideal. Sure she made some questionable choices but she picked it up since. Her being evicted and fighting to stay is appreciated as a viewer. She has better chances of winning if Chad is not in the final 3.

[Captain.Remy]

21/07:

The best part of this episode was Angela's message.:joker:
We'll see tomorrow if Chad made the right choice, though I don't think he would win in any scenario, but who knows! That's exciting because the public didn't have a say until now so there's no way to predict how this can go.

[Wizard.]

King Chad winning that comp with a bum leg :clap1:

Definitely made the wrong choice by evicting Matt over Dan. Of course Twitter hates Dan and instagram comments are in Sophie/Chads favour but I don’t like to go off social media, although I think it’s an online vote rather than a televote but it’s a very short voting window.

I think Chad’s odds of winning have increased massively after this episode and I wouldn’t be shocked if he won (kind of my choice now, you’re not human if you didn’t feel his dead dad thing). I’ve just accustomed myself to awful results in these things so if Dan does win I’m just perched for Angela instagram live reaction.

[Wizard.]

But Chad and Sophie have said if either win they’ll split the cash so just hoping Sophie wins to fulfill her “dream” and Chad has some money for his Ma. Dan can become a bird impressionist and earn money at the sanctuary and at kids birthday parties.

[Captain.Remy]

kskskskfkdkskdk:skull::joker:

[CaPPa]

I'm hoping for either Chad or Dan to win. Dan was my favorite from the start, but Chad has come on strong the last few weeks and hes a really good guy. Never warmed to Sophie.

[Macie Lightfoot]

https://i.imgur.com/IMZ9Ani.png

Chad's absolutely winning. He pretty much got the perfect episode with all the stuff about his parents and wanting to play a moral game because ~you can win the cash but it doesn't matter if you throw away your morals~ and all that mateship stuff Australia loves. I don't put much stock into Twitter and Instagram since they cater to more specific sects of the fandom that serve as vocal minorites (ie stan Twitter every ****ing BBUS season), but Facebook is usually a good indication of the casual opinion and the comments are UNANIMOUSLY in favor of Chad. Like, it's not even close. Every comment is basically pro-Chad and they're getting triple digit figures with the likes. The general sentiment seems to be "I was going to vote for Sophie but Chad won me over this episode when he lied on the couch and said he did it for his dad xx" so yeah, lock it up. Chaddles has won.

[Captain.Remy]

That was nice of Chad to open up about that, it gave him a depth he didn't have so far. That definitely helped.

[Wizard.]

I mean it was mentioned when he first went in but it wasn't harped on about all season like Sophie's Olympics and Dan's love of his life.

[Captain.Remy]

Yeah I remember but there were like so many housemates and such little time in the episodes.
Can't wait to come back from work and watch the finale tonight!

[Macie Lightfoot]

Winner talk:

Predictable but good result. Congrats Chaddles!

[Jack_]

Lol @ them distancing all the housemates on the chairs but then everyone comes up on the stage to hug the winner :skull:

[Captain.Remy]

My thoughts exactly lmao

But yeah, congrats to Chad. I guess the end of the game really helped him. Good lad.
I wish Sonia announced who is 3rd and 2nd, but oh well that doesn't really matter now.

Queen Angelicious was amazing as usual, highlight of the evening!

Yeah happy Chad won, see he's already backing out of the deal that he'd split the prize with Sophie to her now getting 70k :laugh: and they haven't even seen each other since they stopped filming!

[Captain.Remy]

The awkwardness when Sonia asked how their relationship is doing.....

[Joe.]

A Chad win was... dull just like this season. After Ange left it lost it’s spark. Still I’m glad Chan won over Dan who was awful. Sped past most of the finale, was so strung out.

[Macie Lightfoot]

https://i.imgur.com/FrHT3H3.png

So the finale wasn't really edgicable bc it was just a Survivor reunion, and I have no clue whether to put Sophie or Daniel in second place. I was thinking Daniel initially after there was seemingly some outrage over his loss (?) but now there's random stuff coming out about how Chad won in a LANDSLIDE that hints towards Daniel being in third place maybe? Hopefully they release a vote count soon but I doubt it :rolleyes:

Fun season though! My expectations were super low so it exceeded them once I accepted that it was basically Survivor in a house and the gameplay was going to be garbage. Definitely a flawed season but it kept my interest all the way through so gj Australia?

1. Angela (****ing duh. What is there to say? It's almost like she was crafted in a laboratory specifically to appear on reality TV)
2. Sophie (actually comes closer to the top spot than one would suspect. A fun and scrappy underdog who threw tantrums when she ****ed up tasks and had weepy meltdowns the second she faced any sort of adversity, but then as soon as she took out Angela she became a lovable CPP comp beast?! Great arc honestly)
3. Shane (he really doesn't feel like my #3 but I really like him? I think that if we had live feeds the Sophie/Chad/Shane complex would have been my absolute favorite because they just seem like a really fun group. Shane just seems really nice and A Good Person but most importantly he absolutely had the right idea of trying to take out Mat during the Zoe boot and I kinda hold it against Angela and Kieran for not following through! Gone too soon, sadly. Also he kinda fits my daddy type!)
4. Kieran (I am *SHOCKED* because he was obnoxiously shoved down our throats as a fan favorite and self-proclaimed mastermind with delusions of grandeur... but then suddenly it clicked? We just got sooooo many montages and so much content of him terrorizing his HMs by being a complete disaster of a human being :love: The constant tongue-popping, the incessant humming, the inane counting, the lack of any social awareness or tact, his terrible performance in Challenges, his completely inability to do some household chores such as washing dishes :love::love::love: second half Kieran is a ****ing CONSTELLATION and the fact that he of all people stole $15,344 from the White Room is just hilarious to me)
5. Marissa (great fun albeit underedited. Arguably suffers the most from the Australian editing because she really should've been an OTTP fan favorite but instead she only really appeared in about four or five episodes. But she was a loyal Angela cub and a fun underdog!)
6. Chad (kind of boring but he was Actually Nice and a perfectly fine winner? I'm fascinated with how someone of his aesthetic by all means should have been alpha but instead he was spent his entire time simping for Sophie :love: also he said **** on live TV multiple times and the top reply to the show's Twitter announcement of his win is a picture of his nudes)
7. Hannah (looked like she was going to be an all-time Troy favo after her MORM5 premiere which consisted of everyone talking **** about how she was the most off-putting person on the planet during auditions and then barely surviving eviction :love: but then she literally never existed again!)
8. Casey (she's close to green but I feel like her true UTRN self was never capitalized on with this editing team. I've never seen someone whose eyebrows match their personality so well?)
9. Talia (feels like Georgina BBUK17 almost done better? I can't put her in green because holy **** what a demon but at the same time what a demon :love::love::love: I know a lot of it was The Edit but she really was a cow and her demise was everything I could have hoped for)
10. Sarah (FAN FAVORITE with that edgic strip alol like she was fine and cute and actually had more funny moments than I initially remember but ultimately it never came together in a great way for me to really care about her)
11. SooBong (I guess he was cute but he only lasted one episode and then I didn't care)
12. Danni (I felt bad when Kieran totally ****ed her over but then she left and I didn't care)
13. Ian (VERY annoying and I feared him more than anyone but he ended up being about as tolerable as he could have been? He wasn't really a camera hog and I don't think he was playing up to the cameras at all, he's just really ****ing weird. Loses points for being a puppet of the Alphas though)
14. Laura (she lasted one episode and I don't really have an opinion of her!)
15. Garth (~Aunty Garth~ makes me cringe so hard and he definitely reeks of Toxic Theater Gay but I appreciate that he became an Angela minion for no ****ing reason and then was forced to take a bullet for her immediately after doing her dirty work :joker:)
16. Allan (surely would've been red if he lasted longer? Annoying wannabe CPN mastermind who would've been edited so obnoxiously so thank god he only lasted two episodes)
17. Daniel (his edit was obnoxious and he never received a cooldown and he was kind of a dick but he really wasn't THAT terrible. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that this show really didn't give anyone more than three discernible character traits, but he was also witty VERY occasionally?)
18. Zoe (all she did was bitch about Kieran overstaying his welcome but like.... look at how long he lasted and look at how long you lasted hun!)
19. Xavier (he was ANNOYING as soon as he got featured with his whole ~smartest person in the house~ thing and being a wannabe CPN mastermind during the balloon task. I'm also tainted by the "Is Xavier circumcised?" thread on BehindBB)
20. Mat (WE GET IT, YOU'RE A BORING BOGAN FROM BROKEN HILL, just shut up already!!!)

[Nicky91]

this one is currently being broadcast in my nation on RTL5, as replacement now since BBNLBE has finished its season and we got nothing else so
