A 'Secret Strategy Talk' with Emmett and Jillian when the Meter reaches 20m...what kinda unfair BS...

JTM45 14-04-2014 06:51 AM

I wonder how the person who ends up getting this 'Secret Strategy Talk' will be chosen ? I don't like the sound of the whole thing either Jack.:nono:

It's gonna' end up either being a completely weak, feeble and pointless waste of time (something cooked up just to fill airtime and break up a highlights show) or right at the other end of the scale and border on a blatant cheat by giving the recipient actual game info that will directly affect the current state of play in the house.

If it has to happen then at the moment i'd like to see Allison get the "Strategy Talk" just to make sure she's clear about the slimy move they're attempting to pull on her and is prepared to counteract it with her Veto!

I was reminded while watching tonight's highlights show just how badly the US and Canadian shows are negatively impacted by not having daily (or at the very least every other day!) highlights shows!!! By the time Sunday nights' and consecutively Wednesday nights' shows come around we basically know exactly what is gonna' be on the show word for word. The only show that's in any way enlightening is Thursday night's eviction show due to the 'almost' live voting segment.:bored:
At least with the UK show because i know i'm nearly always getting to watch the days' events and action the following night i can resist looking online to see what's happened and when i watch the highlights shows it's all new to me and therefore feels much more interesting. With the US/Canadian episodes, for me at least, they can feel rather tedious and not that entertaining because i know everything in advance!
It doesn't help when there's not really that much happening anyway which increasingly feels to be the case with this Season of BBCanada.:sleep:

If the numpties at Channel 5 can manage to scrape together 7 episodes a week i'm sure they'd be able to manage it over there!!! :thumbs:

I say this every year but the problem with so few HLs shows on a show which is structured around vital events like HoH/Nominations/Veto is that to keep up to date you can only look at secondary information. none of these are shown live or even within a day of happening. So you either wait days to enjoy seeing the events properly or you spoil yourself on the live stream. With just one more HL show instead of this aftershow they are doing maybe they could structure it better. But it just copies the US version exactly, so the usual censorship on the feed, the usual dragging things out for HLs viewers. It ends up being an audience split into 2, instead of being more unified which it would be on a live event show.

They don't make people wait days to see the live eviction, so why the rest? It makes no sense, but they get away with it as the audience just feebly accepts it. Even worse, with the US version the live feed charges a hefty fee despite the censorship.

No doubt someone awful like Arlie or the gremlins or Allison will get it and they'll just become even more big headed than before

I never was trying to be a spokesperson for gay people I said lots of gay people pretend to be straight at first, which in my experience (meeting lots of gay people) is true. Maybe I'm guilty of presenting opinion as fact but was speaking for anyone. You were the one who said Kenny isn't a good representative for gay people which very much is being a spokesperson and also if you look at the amount of support he has got from the gay community on social media is simply not true.

I'd say it's got better tbh

I realise this will probably be an unpopular opinion but I've actually really enjoyed this season when I think back over everything that's happened. Sure, there's been a few really annoying and repulsive houseguests and it's not been the almost unanimously likeable and enjoyable cast that the first season had, but there's been a fair few big moments and I've enjoyed how much more into the game this group are. I don't know whether I prefer it to last season, but I have enjoyed it even if not everything has gone my way

Jack_ 17-04-2014 01:15 AM

Big episode this.

(don't read if you haven't watched feeds)

Spoiler:

Looking forward to seeing everyone's reactions to Allison using her secret veto :D

BBUKAUSFAN 17-04-2014 01:29 AM

alli being a drunked mess

delli arguing with marsha <3 was funny as hell

Jack_ 17-04-2014 01:29 AM

Great segment that :D I like these kind of missions they've taken from BBUK

Adel and Sabrina :joker: :joker: :joker:

Jack_ 17-04-2014 01:30 AM

Also LOL at how there's been loads of references to and DR's about Jon and Arlie's relationship this episode, clever foreshadowing

BBUKAUSFAN 17-04-2014 01:36 AM

looool @ roro trying to get the wrong shirt in the case hahaha

Jack_ 17-04-2014 01:45 AM

Arlie being so close </3

That was a pretty good prize as well for that comp

Jack_ 17-04-2014 01:45 AM

omg I hope they show Allison's drunken breakdown, I still haven't got round to watching it yet

Jack_ 17-04-2014 01:47 AM

I've just thought, it's kinda weird that we're watching this live in different places and times around the world on our laptops as people across Canada watch this live in their living rooms on an actual TV at like 9pm :p

Jack_ 17-04-2014 01:52 AM

Some more feed watchers only spoilers:

Spoiler:

Neda did a really good job this week at getting Jon to do this, no way in hell was backdooring Arlie the right move for him just yet. He's basically her puppet, he needs to wake up tbh

There hasn't been enough of a build up to reasons why Allison is about to use her Veto on Sabrina either, it's going to come out of the blue

Jack_ 17-04-2014 01:54 AM

This edit has missed out so many important things of this week, they've totally brushed over the fact that Allison was the original backdoor plan and Arlie was a last minute move

As a result what's about to happen is going to make even less sense...

BBUKAUSFAN 17-04-2014 02:01 AM

yea the whole scrambling from last night wont even make sense to just tv viewers if they even decide to air that tomorrow.

Jack_ 17-04-2014 02:01 AM

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at Neda and Jon's faces/reactions omg

And I actually laughed at the Gremlins DR at the end too :laugh2: oh dear

Jack_ 17-04-2014 02:06 AM

This episode has proven Allison to be an idiot, she makes a big move and the first smartest thing she's done all season and finally gets her and the people she wants to work with (the Gremlins for some strange reason) some power to flip the house and take on the people she wants to ditch (the Sloppy Seconds), yet... (feed spoilers)

Spoiler:

After realising she was at the bottom of that alliance, she now trusts Jon, Neda and Heather with a new F4 deal and wants to not take the opportunity with the Gremlins to keep Arlie and have a 4 vs 2 scenario going into the next HoH

gurl what is wrong with you :crazy:


I really want to like her but she has terrible taste in friends/allies (kind of the reason I didn't like Andy in BB15 cause he was protecting all the vile people) and doesn't seem to get what's actually going on in the game. The only thing she has going for her is that she's a nice person and is good at lying...

Was it close? They made out that it was but Jon seemed in the lead all the way. Can't say I felt much suspense.

As for Allison how is she supposed to know what the gameplans are if nobody tells her anything? Because she came in late she's been left out, only Andrew bothered to talk to her. Adel made a stupid move replacing Allison for the veto. The others outside the first five alliance always bracketed Allison with that group even though she was never really truly a part of it. So that means Allison ends up having to go with what's left of that or hope the other side of the house can finally split.

Love Allison undermining Neda, "who is this Allison" lol. Maybe she could have taken Arlie off, but I'm glad she got to make a game move rather than just keeping quiet. Sabrina will probably be loyal, and I guess nobody trusts Arlie. Hopefully the Jon/Neda dominance can get undermined by someone soon to make it more interesting, they have had way too much power.

Anyone else really sick of the campy fake way they give BBs instructions to the house?

Yeah, totally! And the "i love my cabinet in my HOH room from The Brick" typa' stuff.:yuk:

Great post too on the whole! That's exactly how i saw Allison's position and she's done everything she can with what she's been given in there. Neda, Jon Adel and Arlie are such perpetual liars it must be a nightmare living with them and knowing you're probably being lied to with every word they utter. I know people have to deceive and omit certain details in there to a certain extent for the sake of their games but most of this lot are RIDICULOUS with the amount they lie!!!! They do it so much that they've completely undermined they're own credibility and made it next to impossible to trust or believe a word they say!

I'm praying that someone other than Neda or Adel wins HOH and puts either Jon or Neda up (or hopefully both so that one or the other will stay on the block no matter what). They need to be split up to even the playing field.:thumbs:

Vladimir 17-04-2014 02:40 PM

that POV ceremony was intense. :D can't wait for tomorrow's episode!

starry 17-04-2014 05:50 PM

It's just sad that because of how they show BB we only see an edited version of big events like this. If it was shown live we would see the whole thing.
