Also guy alliances still tend to go after strong physical threats outside of their alliance so that includes a lot of males. I don't understand the reason to care as a fan whether a guy or girl wins BB. Let alone as someone actually playing the game in the house.
So far after the first episode Da'Vonne basically got the production pet edit. Why? Because she was entertaining. Those who show a big personality and/or have a good understanding of the game become the production pet for them. Those who have a lot to offer in the DR. I don't agree with all their choices but that is the reasoning behind it.
Da'Vonne & Shelli were fine, and if it's an all girl alliance that works it'd be something new, but Audrey really seemed like she had an agenda and came across as sexist.
Regardless I think she'll be playing too strong because of it. She'll at least hopefully bring a whole lot of drama to the season if she acts the way I expect.

Sexism is absolutely prevalent on this show, and I have no idea what your point is about anti-jock/anti-male players. The only time a male alliance went after a strong physical threat outside was Devin, who was psychotic. This hardly ever happens because the strong physical threats are usually part of the alliance.
Da'Vonne didn't get a production pet edit lmao she's just being pigeonholed into the sassy black girl DRs like Jocasta was last year. The reasoning behind who production favors has nothing to do with having a good understanding of the game. Grodner loved Jeff for having ostensibly good looks, Frank's father was a pro wrestler or whatever, Frankie had a famous sister, etc. It has nothing to do with big personalities or good gameplay, just whichever guy Grodner wants to promote.
The reason to care, like I said, is that this show is steeped in sexism and it's literally been a decade since a woman has won on her own merit. Just looking at the past five seasons, 5 of the 6 first boots in BB12 were women, the first 4 boots in BB14 were women, and 5 of the 6 first boots in BB16 were women. Likewise, there was only one girl in the final seven of BB12, two girls in the final seven of BB14, one girl in the final five of BB15, and one girl in the final five of BB16. Those statistics are worrying to me. |
