I’m still watching the eviction atm (my internet hates me) but I doubt it + the next day’s highlights are gonna change much so
BB1 - Week 6 Rankings
1. Anna
2. Melanie (+2)
3. Darren (+2)
4. Claire (new)
5. Thomas (+1)
6. Craig (+1)
While this week still had a few good moments, it was pretty bland in general.
Thomas going was a godsend, irrel bore. A miracle since 2 thirds of the house were up
Claire’s addition has been strange. While it’s certainly changed the dynamic in some respects, she’s added nearly nothing? Definitely a misfire in terms of the very first late entrant. She keeps doing things that seem forced and I can’t quite figure out if that’s who she is or if it’s the BB1-brand of being aware of the cameras.
In terms of changing dynamics, it’s brought a new awareness to Melanie which has me appreciating her a lot more again. It’s added another layer to her as a person and made her a more interesting housemate.
Darren has warmed on me again a little bit as well, but his nominations are still legitimately the worst I’ve ever seen. Davina dragging them in the eviction show
I suppose a silver lining to these slower weeks is that it can make you reconnect to certain housemates that you kind of started getting sick of it just stopped paying attention to.
Thomas and Craig, especially Craig, have barely been able to keep their tongues off the floor from the moment Claire walked in. Craig has become absolutely insufferable with his ‘pranking’ (Raph hew?) and hyperactivity. I don’t know if it’s a social experiment, excited because a new person, change, or a social experiment, I think this what the viewers want to see, change. It’s annoying either way.
This series (and BB1-4 in general) is definitely a big change from the show it would become, but if you go in with the right mindset it’s such a breeze to watch and a nice change of pace.
One thing I wanna add that’s not really about the actual show, but it’s crazy watching the evictions. The crowds just keep growing and growing every week and it’s electrifying to watch. A stark contrast to the BB18/19 days of not being able to fill a 200ish capacity crowd
A few moments:
The fashion parade was great. Anna’s nature presentation with Melanie as the model
Claire: I think I’d rather go next week than the week after.
Anna: Well we can arrange that, Claire
Melanie kissing Tom and destroying any chance she had of making it to the end </3
