That's BBUS/BBCanada for ya, a bunch of idiot "superfans" preaching about making big moves and then chickening out because "it's too early, I have to go with the house" :rolleyes:

This is your first US/Can season right? Just for some background knowledge, Double Evictions have been a staple in BBUS for quite some time now. It used to be double eviction weeks, which were simply just two evictions in one week. The HOH Comp would play out live and the nominees would be made instantly, then the next episode was POV and eviction, and then there's a new HOH Comp and it starts all over again. It was just a glorified acceleration with two evictions happening in the span of one week.

Now what has become the standard is Fast Forward Night, where we see a whole round play out in one night. The first eviction (Bobby/Brittnee in this case) will happen a lot earlier into the episode and then there will immediately be a quick HOH Comp (often a before/after or A/B question one.) Then they'll have, like, less than five minutes and noms will be made. POV Comp will happen (often more skill-based. The two most common ones are "find two items in your pile of packing peanuts" and "navigate your marker through a giant maze") and then after another five minutes or so you'll have the POV Meeting and eviction vote. They're extremely fast-paced and exciting, especially because there's no time for the producers to split the script by asking leading DR questions or coming up with comps or twists to save someone.

So for the triple, it plays out just like a normal fast forward night, except two people will be leaving during the speed round. It's definitely a chaotic and unique episode so have fun!!!

Thank you very much for enlightening me!!! Yeah it is my first I attempted to get into BB14, BB15 and BB16 US but all were awful in my opinion so I just gave up on them. It sounds fun and chaotic like you said :amazed: Tbh I just thought they'd pull Kevin in the vault in this episode and tell him he'd need to nominate two more people tbh. I'm very excited it sounds like it's going to be chaotic as you pointed out thank you for all that :love:

yeah you picked a pretty bad time to pick up BBUS :joker: it says a lot that 15's the best of those three considering it's plagued by a gigantic racism scandal and only has a handful of rootable people.

But yeah, the big thing about BBUS (and BBCan too, tbf, but to a lesser extent) is that it's really not a fair show at all. Production picks obvious favorites (if you haven't figured it out yet, it's Kevin) and in the US version, they go to extreme lengths to protect them to the point where even the casual viewing audience is kinda cynical about it all. A significant part of it comes through DR influence, where production more or less locks you in there for hours and mind****s you with questions such as "Are you really sure that <whatever you're about to do to screw over their favorite> is best for your game?" and then they come back to the house singing a different tune. Like, the past three weeks of BBUS have entirely stemmed from Shelli freaking out that the DR asked her if she really thinks that Clay is safe. Then there are the more blatant rigs such as "America gets to vote for their player of choice to completely overthrow the current HOH" and "the eviction is cancelled [because our favorite player is about to get evicted]" and "you're trying to throw the Battle of the Block Comp to get out Ariana Grande's sister, but the joke's on you because this comp is easier for one person to do by themselves and you can't do anything now that you announced you're going to throw it" and it's just so transparent but production could not give less of a ****.

That's part of the appeal of FF Nights to me --- everything is so quick and fast-paced that production doesn't have time to interfere. They can't lock you in the DR and mentally waterboard you, they can't change the competitions to favor their favorites, and they can't come up with obvious twists designed to change power. It's as pure of a game as we can get all in the span of one hour and production have no control over it (one of the most blatantly obvious BBUS rigs came after someone dramatically turned on production's golden boy during the FF Night, prompting cat ladies across the country to send death threats to the HG and their preteen daughter and to create the FB page "America Hates [HG's name]" <333333)

I've just finsished the triple eviction! I figured Kevin was the producers favourite ages ago they constantly give him tasks and feature him more than some of the other houseguests like Willow who we barely saw anything of tbh until this last week. Yeah I did pick three bad ones you're probably right I might try BB17US soon but I need to finish this and my CBB4 re watch first.

Wow they sound like they rig the house more than BBUK do. Viewers were going mad that Marc had immunity for two weeks but if they seriously cancel evictions for them and lock people in the diary room trying to convince them to save the productions favourite then that's pretty ridiculous tbh.

I'm glad Kevin and Willow went in the triple eviciton I knew Kevin would go but I expected Pilar to go alongside him. I'm not actually too bothered Willow went her alliance with Sarah was beginning to make me dislike Sarah a bit but I think I will like her again now Pilar has gone.

I liked the fast paced feel to the triple eviciton it was ridiculously fast! But I liked it it gave me a rush. I just wanted Zach to go and I can't believe Bruno saved him tbh.

Stan for Godnee! :love:

Best two of the series tbh :love:

Brittnee is pretty much the only reason why BB3 is a moderately good season <3 Like you said, it's so refreshing to see someone play the game aggressively and straightforward because this show has truly been plagued by some dire **** like BB metagame and convoluted backdoor plans and a bunch of superfans talking themselves up in the DR and then deciding that it's too early to make a move. It's part of the reason why the last two weeks of BBUS have been some of the best in recent history. We put up with a full month of absurd theatrics and ridiculous backdoors thanks to Battle of the Block, and then as soon as we get to solo HOHs we get two weeks of refreshingly simple and declarative gameplay. We really don't see enough of that in this day and age.

If you're enjoying this season then you NEED to watch the first two seasons. BB2 has one of the best full-season narratives and BB1 has a star-studded cast and has sooooo many laugh out loud hilarious moments.

I agree the other housemates are often seen threatening to make big moves and are always saying **** like 'I've got *insert name* in my ear telling me to nominate *insert name* but at the end of the day I'm going to what's best for my game' but they end up nominating them anyway :roll eyes: I must give BB17US a watch definitely after some of the praise I've seen people give it.

I plan on watching 1 and 2 once I finish 3 :)

The best part is although this season is great, most people consider the first and second better. :bigsmile:

Okay i just finished S1 and thought it was great! is S2 on par?

Pretty much. Season 2 has probably my favourite alliance in BB history but I think the general hilarity of 1 makes it a bit better. Most seem to prefer 2 though I think?

Yeah, I think most people consider BB2 better but I definitely prefer BB1. 2 definitely has a better full-season narrative but I think the HGs are better in 1. And like LJ said, it's one of the funniest seasons ever both intentionally and unintentionally.

Regardless, they're both fantastic and much much better than BB3, which is good but not great.

Ashleigh 'I really do think Zach deserves to be in this house'

Please shut up everyone deserves to be there

out of interest tho Karl give us a BB1 cast ranking :flutter:

I prefer BB1 :flutter: just cos I find it more entertaining.
