Big Brother 20 (USA)

I recognised the second song she played but Jesus what crappy filler 🙈🙈🙈

HoH will be interesting.
What happens if the one person not on the block wins veto and uses it though? They can't be put up, so what then??

S.M.B.

There's no more veto.

The only drama I'm getting from the end game is trying to see if Tyler can throw this away. Kinda hope he continue to mess things up although I can't say I want either of the other two to win.

I don't want any of them to win really. But Kaycee has been a comp beast and, from what I saw with Haleigh towards the end, Kaycee seems very likeable. Angela and JC aren't well liked from what I can tell. And I wonder if all of Tyler's deals will lead to a bitter jury for him.

S.M.B.

I'm hoping there are a few bitter jurors. Kaycee has been impressive in the comps and everybody seems to really like her but she has had very little input from a strategic point of view. She had no grand plan beyond getting as far as possible with level 6 and up until today she was still talking about doing what's best for 'us'.

Mr E

Last night was the usual pre-finale filler episode.

I think Kaycee has a really good shot.
Angela can get in the juror's ears though, so you never know.

Hard to think who might win the 25k favourite housemate prize though - it better not be JC.

S.M.B.

Why do they bother with the recap. Why not show the complete first two rounds of the HoH and get more out of the ex housemates on finale night?

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Didn't even bother checking last night's episode - I'm guessing that I missed literally nothing?

Mr E

Not a thing.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Good to know. I hope the final is good, because the last few weeks have been shockingly dull.

Btw, I decided to give BBUK a shot this year, having not watched it since the Channel 4 days, and I have to say it's actually a cracking season so far - much better than it used to be. Never thought I'd see the day that BBUK > BBUS, but it happened.

And another great Reality show I'm now obsessed with is The Circle on Channel 4, which started last week, and can not recommend it enough - it's Big Brother meets Black Mirror.

S.M.B.

Tomorrow nights episode could be the last Julie Chen hosted episode of Big Brother, for the foreseeable future at least. Hope it's a good 'un.

Tomorrow night.

I think she would be missed alright.

S.M.B.

Thought it was Wednesday for some reason. It'll be the end of an era but she wouldn't have as much influence as a Jeff Probst so I have no issue with the show continuing.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I do like her, but I think the show will survive without her. Unlike Survivor or The Amazing Race, which I find hard to imagine without Jeff Probst and Phil Keoghan respectively - especially Survivor.

Mr E

Depends on who the replacement is. Someone like Arissa from BB Canada would drive me nuts. She's so fake.

Wouldn't surprise me if they got a former contestant to do it - one of the greats. Britney, Dan Gheesling, Derrick, Janelle, Mike Boogie and/or Dr. Will would all be ideal candidates, but in reality we'd probably end up with Rachel Reilly or Jeff Schroeder and I think they'd be awful at it.

But, I do think Celebrity BB finalists Ross Matthews or Marissa Jaret Winkour would well be able to step in to the role. Ross especially would be great.

S.M.B.

I don't like Arissa but a least she's a big fan of the game (and other similar games). Agree that'll either be Big Jeff or Ross/Marissa.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Bold move by Swaggy C there - glad it worked out for him, because it could've so easily went the other way.

Slightly disappointed with the result - the latter half of this season hasn't been great, after a strong start. They really need to re-tool the show some how so that it can remain compelling throughout the entire season.

Mr E

I had a feeling that Kaycee might pull through. I think she did well. All of the top three deserved it in one way or another.

Swaggy knew Bayleigh for what? 4 weeks? 5 weeks? Wow. That could have seriously backfired.

Glad to hear that Celeb BB will be back in the Winter. The first season of it was surprisingly great. I notice Julie said "We'll be back..." so maybe she isn't going anywhere. I guess it depends on what happens with Les over the next few months.

Despite slowing right down near the end, it was still a great season overall - the best in years.

S.M.B.

That was quite a dull finale. Not only do they have to make changes to the latter part of the game, they need to change the final 2 episodes. Tyler could have won that if he had a bit more time to explain his game rather than frantically rambling about power apps and making enemies of they jury. 90 days to play the game and you get about 3 minutes to answer bland questions. You could argue that this has placed added importance on the 'goodbye messages' which nobody has really copped onto yet.

I fast forwarded through the final HoH comp as there was zero tension because the result didn't really matter. It was helped by the ****ty challenge which is quite a change from the previous ~18 seasons of normal BB. They've gone down the BBCAN route of a final comp that isn't just all about educated guesses.

There are rumours that Bayleigh is preggers which may have forced Swaggy's hand a little.

Looks like Bayleigh had a miscarriage in the Jury House.

Awww, that's a shame. It must have been very difficult for them being questioned about it on Thursday night where they refused to comment as they wanted to release the info this way.

Now I feel bad because I thought that whole proposal was so staged to push Swaggy into the limelight, especially when he was pushing so hard for attention when Julie was signing off.
