I literally haven't finished a full season since like Season 15 or something

Every season is legit the same formula of 'majority white alliance eliminates all of the women and minorities before turning on each other after they've killed the season off'

Genuinely and not even that, the whole narrative now is like entirely spoon-fed television there’s a DR segment every five seconds explaining what’s going on

This is why I can't stand most reality shows as they all seem to have taken an American style direction of having the housemates/contestants describe what we're watching on the screen. Like give me the contestant's opinion on what's unfolding, but don't just have them narrate it like I'm blind.

That and the never-ending coming up/previously on segments.

The majority house alliance steamrolling then imploding arc has ruined the franchise, it’s completely dull

Yeah, I still watch it, but it's very predictable. It has been for quite some seasons now. Now it's just "oh okay a dude won HoH so let's see which woman/outcast they're going to get out, while having an 8 person alliance."
I don't know, it's not as exciting or unpredictable as before. I wish production could shake the format a little.

I wonder if they asked Libra back?

I mean at least she was relevant, played the game and entertaining?
A better version of Davonne in every way?

More polarising and also more of a game player

But yeah BB10 I’m not sure can be beaten

Libra wants absolutely nothing to do with the show according to Dick

I think Kalia deserved a second shot, she’s responsible for one of the most infamous double evictions after all

Fanbase's fault

Also, BB10 was SOOOOOOOO GOLD because of how no one gave a **** and got so heated and personal all the time But some recent BBUS seasons have still been good in other ways and still entertaining.

Just finished BB10 myself and it was an amazing season

Also Libra deserves more credit! She literally controlled every eviction she was in the house for besides her own.

"Look how beautiful that cake is"..

The good old days when you had more candid talk and raw interactions - from all sorts of oddballs and genuinely quirky characters.

Nowadays, as well as being completely generic, these freaks are clearly only interested in gaining an idiotic social following that will buy their embarrassing, crappy "merch" from them.

And yeah on topic, BB16 broke the game.

It doesn’t help that they then recruit Instagram “influencers” and mactors to sit in sequester and watch BB16 before reenacting the whole season in the house again

In terms of “All Stars”, the cast this season sucks. I said it sucked and it does suck. The only “big names” outside of Janelle are Dani and Tyler, and then Franzel and Ian but only by virtue of them being winners, it’s not like they’re a Dan or a Will or even a Rachel. Less big names, the bigger the immediate target on one person. If we’d got Paul, Dan and Derrick (instead of them lamely pregaming a season they’re not on) as originally rumoured we might’ve had a bit more of a balanced season

But yeah, BB16 and casting are the problems

Huge LULZ @ Dani, Tyler and Franzel being "big names"

The thing I find most amusing about the cast is the fact that maniac Memphis has ended up outshining the lot of them.. and to think he was an "alternate"..

It doesn't matter when he gets booted from here, he's already brought more than half this dreadful cast is capable of combined, no matter how far they get dragged.

Moonves has been left "baffled" by his HOH reign.

JULIE CHEN MOONVES: I think he hurt himself with his HOH reign. As you heard him say last week when he won Head of Household, that was a first for him. Sure, he made it to the Final 2 in season 10 a dozen years ago but many thought it was because he had a strong partner in Dan Gheesling (who went on to win with a unanimous vote). Memphis has never experienced HOH power and it showed.

It’s one thing to do what’s best for your own game, but to say that’s what you’re doing and to be so blatant and almost unsympathetic about it to everyone — including his own alliance members — was not smart. Maybe he called David a rookie because that’s actually what he thinks of himself and doesn’t want to be found out? I am baffled at his gameplay. Going after David and Nicole A.? How are either one a threat to his game?

Neither are obviously a threat to him, but neither are a help to him. The bottom line is he's well aware that even though he's part of a bigger alliance, after Janelle and Kaysar are gone..he becomes more fair game than most. By ridding the house of weaklings while himself in power, he fears no immediate blowback(with good reason) and basically ensures himself another week of safety while Janelle and Kaysar remain in front of him.

In any case, ridding the house of floating weaklings needs to be seen as the new strength. Maybe then production will finally get the message and STOP casting them. All they do is stagnate the game.

With the exception of those I’ve already named (Will, Dan and Rachel), who from old school BBUS is a bigger, more recognisable name than Dani Donato? There’s definitely no more than five

I couldn’t care less about Tyler but of the post-BB16 seasons, him and Paul are the most talked about, so not much debate there I’m afraid

And Franzel is awful but she won recently and has already played twice, so yes in this horrendous cast, she’s one of the bigger names. But note I said only by virtue of winning, so maybe you ought to reread

Pick any half dozen from any random old school season. Dani is a joke in my book. As are Tyler and Franzel.

In what realistic world could "estranged" father and daughter end up in a game in a "surprise twist".."hating each other"(but never targeting each other when in power) go on to make f-2 and cop the whole prize? It's ridiculous beyond words.

So Gerry, Jee, Cowboy, Jameka, Chelsia and Michele are all more recognisable names than Dani Donato? I don’t think so

I don’t care for any of them, doesn’t mean they’re not the bigger names on the cast even if they’re not on Janelle’s level

The two CBB’s and the feed from week 1 were more enjoyable than anything BB related since 2012.

Both seasons of CBB were bomb! Loved it. Better than most of the recent seasons (from BB15 onwards)

oh yeah I definitely agree both of the CBBs have been fantastic. the shorter season length and more diverse characters defiantly helped. maybe it was because they didn't show BB16 to the celebs

BB died when Vanessa Rousso was robbed on finale night. Coincidence? I don't think.
