Default Thoughts on veto show

Adam sucking up to Jeff any better than Porsche not doing that? I think I actually prefer it when HMs can just do their own thing than being like Adam.

Zingbot of course was the US version copying the British one, so those who say the American version is always better need to remember that. Also Zingbot is not as good as the British 'robot', voice is too high pitched and annoying and hard to understand.

One thing with American HGs that can make it a bit annoying is when they cheer things all the time or get all shouty as if they are happy. Just seems too fake. And saying 'Zing' after their DR entry looked like something some of them were told to do and not real.

Porsche doesn't want to be in the jury house with Brendan? She doesn't like him at all or was it a joke?

They tried to build suspense in the program but it was pretty obvious to me (even just watching the HLs) what the result would be. Dani is more of competitor like Brendan was and so she would obviously be the target and not someone like Porsche.

And why are people still putting spoilers in titles in this place? Any moderator got an answer?

Jeff got a good edit last night non surprisingly. The bias from the producers towards him is just vile.

No offense but it's pretty clear you're not super familiar with BBUSA. The Zingbot was on BB12 as well so it wasn't copied from BBUK. The houseguests don't know tonight's a double eviction, so as far as they know whoever leaves tonight will in fact be stuck in the jury house alone with Brendon for a week. That would pretty unpleasant, I think we can all agree.

And as far as saying "Zing" in their diary room entries, it's common knowledge that sometimes producers tell them to say certain stuff (and they do multiple takes if it's not to the producers' satisfaction). It's not raw interaction with BB as it is in the UK, rather in the DR it's more like producers are gathering quotes for specific purposes. The HGs were even discussing on live feed about how they were told to think up zingers for post-veto comp DR entries. So yeah, it will obviously look fake from time to time. But don't blame the HGs - blame production.

Unfortunately the British one is moving away from raw interaction, and they are just using the DR to narrate like they do it in the American version. They do that better in the American series anyway, the British one seems really forced and going against the way the whole show has evolved.

I only see the HLs (the live stream costs too much and it is so censored) so maybe I don't get a full view of Brendan, but it seems to me he isn't among the most obviously annoying HMs this year.

Anyway 2 responses to a thread I created here, must be a record for me.
