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

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

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

I haven’t watched yet but I know

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)

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.

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.

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

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...



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