Watched the premier last night. Alan is amazing. Mike is horrendous. Ryan didn't bug me as much as I thought he was going to from the first 10 minutes. No opinion on anyone else yet really.

Censored on broadcast, so we unfortunately didn't see a Marcus repeat.

Please excuse my Africa bias but I thought Ethan was awesome on RHAP. Even though he's a little heavy on the old school is better stuff but he is still very in touch and entertaining

This podcast was great, I usually don't listen to the main RHAP unless it has a guest I really like but I'll definitely be tuning into this every week.


I'm listening to the Episode 1 one. 59 minutes in, Liana went there.

Australian Survivor Episode 22:

Locky won immunity. Surprise.

I knew with all the talk about what happens if it is tied, Ziggy was going to be gone. I think Tara actually made the right move there, as rocks is a dangerous gamble. Locky will probably win immunity next episode though and she will be gone then anyway.


Ep 23 preview spoiler:The winner of the next challenge gets a car. Did anyone in the US ever win both the car AND the cash when it used to be a prize? I seem to remember it never happened and even someone who won the car being why they later got voted out. Haven't rewatched earlier series like I know a lot of you have, and relying on memories from over a decade ago, so that is probably all made up though...

Yeah... it was the wrong move for Pete, Jericho, and Michelle though. They should have voted out Tara, because not only was Ziggy willing to vote Locky out but she could beat him in a challenge. Tara, being a "stay-at-home mom" would not be able to beat Locky. Ziggy was their best hope, followed by Jericho. Also, why vote Michelle if you're going to rocks? Don't you want to protect someone who could beat Locky (and tell him that's why they're the target)?

Take this from a historian: Nope. The "car curse" was a big thing in the old-school seasons (though they did a car in Fiji also, it was otherwise just the old school seasons). Nobody won the car AND the cash and, yes, sometimes they were voted out just because they'd won the car. Surprised that they're bringing it back here - they must have a sponsor. But whoever wins it won't be winning the $$$.

Ponderosa (or "Jury Villa" there): The camera work when they see themselves in the mirror is AWFUL. They DELIBERATELY deny us seeing their face. What's the point in showing us this if we don't get to see their facial expression? (Was all redeemed with the jury's welcoming rap, which was one of the best moments of any Ponderosa series since Heroes vs. Villains). Hysterical!

Australian Survivor Episode 23:

Well, that was a drawn out episode for no reason. Obvious elimination. Locky was always gone as soon as he didn't have immunity, but I did like that he at least put in a reasonable showing of having an idol.

Tara owning goats at home didn't really surprise me either. I do agree sheep is probably a better term than goat for those players. Peter trying to pretend he isn't one was kind of funny - he is 100% goat/sheep/whatever, and really shouldn't win (unless it is a final 2 with him and Tara somehow).

I hadn't really thought about it, but for being on an island, there hasn't been many water based challenges this season. That is good for Jericho really (who I hope wins from here), and good on him for facing his fears and giving the snorkeling a go after nearly drowning in the ocean when he was younger.

Shame there's only (I think) 3 episodes left, all next week...


Spoilers for the rest of the season (next episode mainly):
From the TV guide, it looks like the next episode won't eliminate a contestant, instead the challenge winner gets to prevent a jury member from voting. That suggests it is going to be a final 3, rather than a final 2. Wasn't a fan of that twist when it was used previously, don't think it will be good this time either.

Australian Survivor episode 23

Yep, obvious elimination indeed. If they hadn't voted Locky out, I would have been stumped. He's a big threat physically and a good social and strategic player. He would have beaten any of them. Thankfully, the smarter players knew it and also knew he didn't have an idol. Locky was so smart to show that clue to Tara, the dumbest person there, and get her to believe it and spread it. Jericho and Pete shot it down FAST, which made the result very clear.

If Tara wins, I will be sick. I almost threw up in my mouth when she said "he's complaining that he didn't get the result he wanted." Uh, hello? That's the exact reason so many people dislike her! I think Jericho has this - and hope he does - but I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be Tara based on edit. It makes no sense, seeing as 1) she was voted out with the intent to eliminate but it so happened to be a swap vote and 2) she's unlikable. She's their go-to narrator when the tribe comes back to camp, however... and that's a sign.

And you're right, Ringworm, that there haven't been many water challenges. That's odd, actually. Helped Jericho out. Should help him out at the end. The edit is supporting him as the winner. So easy to root for him and enjoy him.

If the Sunday episode is the vote-out-a-juror twist shit (hate that so much) and there's three episodes, I'd think the Monday episode is where (prediction) Pete gets 4th and the Tuesday finale is deciding the final two and the FTC, where (also prediction) Michelle is voted out in 3rd and Jericho beats Tara 6-3 for the $$$. Remember last year that the final immunity challenge was in the same episode as the FTC. I also wonder if they'll do the juror twist better this time. From what you said, it might be that one juror simply doesn't vote but still gets to make a speech and influence the jury. That would make it more tolerable of a twist, but still bad.

Also AU ep 23

missed the last few minutes. All videos were advertised as 52 minutes but ended at 42, right when Peter was saying locky called him a goat. Considering it was so obvious, I just put on ponderosa and spoiled myself because why not. Ugh, eliminate juror twist? That shit is detestable. Fucking get rid of it >_<. Definitely a good episode for Jericho. Backstory looked winner edit-y. Tara still looking like losing finalist. Pete story still just kinda circling itself and going nowhere. Michelle looking to be the boot just before the final. I don't see why they would have a positive backstory edit for Jericho in this episode when he was safe the whole time unless he is the winner. I'm holding onto that because I'm rooting for him, but bias aside, it feels right. In spite of all the "forced edit" and "fuck tara" talk, I have for some time contended her story ends with her losing in jury votes, whether it be f2 or f3 (this goes back a long way) and I don't see any reason to change that prediction now. The way I see the season finishing... she gonna have her hand in the cookie jar and it's gonna get bit by cookie monster ;). Jericho ftw.

hey friends looking for BB season advice

I'm looking to watch a season with my buddy who just made me watch Survivor Samoa with Russell Hantz which was amazing. I hadn't seen a Survivor since season 1. He's never been a Big Brother watcher, so I wanna show him an equally good season, while also seeing something new for myself.

Context on my BB experience:

I started watching Big Brother a few years ago with BB17, which I really enjoyed.

I was a huge fan of Vanessa's gameplay. I liked Frank a lot in BB18. I also liked Paulies game a lot until he imploded, though I wasn't a fan of the somewhat bully like mentality in the house especially towards Bridgette. Paul obviously rolled through BB19 but as we all know the bullying went off the charts and he managed the jury very poorly. Great finale, but didn't enjoy the season a ton.

Side bar: I've seen people compare Russell to Paul, but while Paul dominated his season, I see exactly why the jury was so bitter towards him. I don't really get why Russel's jury was so bitter, most of them weren't his allies and werent bullied by him or anything. He just outmaneuvered them and they were buttmad about it. I think there's key differences between juries here...

Anyways, I also saw BBCAN5 which I really enjoyed. I would say it's the best out of all of these seasons that I've watched. If I were to recommend one of those to him, it'd be that. If I had to choose a US one, it'd be BB17.

However, I'd like to watch something new for me alongside him. So, I'm open suggestions to seasons to watch, but in my mind I see myself going to four options, for obvious reasons

BB2 - Dr Will's season. Everyone talks about him like he invented how to play big brother. Gotta watch him at some point. I'm a little worried the game format might not be fleshed out enough back then to introduce someone though

BB10 - Dan Gheesling is a legend. I don't know anything about him or his season though.

BB16 - Derrick's season. Since I started with BB17, I've been hearing talk about him since I started. I'd love to see if the hype lives up. I've heard that his season isn't exciting to watch though which has me worried.

BBCAN2 - Neda's season. I absolutely loved her in BBCAN5 and I wanna see her at her best.

I'm looking for something with good entertaining gameplay, especially early on. My friend is leery of the number of episodes compared to Survivor, so I'd like something that'd grab him quick.

Any input would be great!

Yeah, avoid BB2 - there was no Veto at that time, so there was a filler episode every week. Your friend won't be even remotely interested.

BB16 sucks. It'll grab your friend quick and then lose him just as quick. The first four weeks are phenomenal, but aside from a couple amazing scenes the rest of it is utter garbage that's excruciating to watch.

I suggest BB6 or BB10. BB7 is my favorite season, but since it's All-Stars you should probably watch some of the seasons before it first. I've yet to watch BBCAN2, but have heard nothing but great things.

Okay, then that might change things. Glad they're doing that this year - it was sorely missing last year. Hopefully, it'll be like the US reunions from the Middle Ages and JLP will talk to everyone and clarify fans' unanswered questions or wrap up some storylines. Man, do I miss those days.

I agree with 6 or 10 for sure. I'd have to say to go with BB10. It's probably the most "pure" BB season since the theme was "back to basics", and it was the first fully BB season I watched, that made me go back and watch 3-8.

I made a video on that question, Cly.

My answers were BB8, 10, or 12.

BB8 has a strong polarizing figure, similar to Russell. It's a fairly newb-friendly season that starts exciting right out of the gate.

BB10 is probably the best season (imo), but it does start a little slow.

BB12 is just consistent all around.

Also, Andy I couldn't get that link for the opening to work (video wasn't loading :( oh well), but actually the initial youtube video I watched that I wasn't sure about the legitimacy of, based on the short version tonight (and other videos with the same version), it turns out it is legit. It just got some dislike votes because I guess people thought it was fake lol. It is quite different, and refreshingly so. After HvV, we had a lot of weak arrangements because of Mark Burnett being a bitch about the Nicaragua proposed opening, then a bunch of rehashed rearrangements, so this one being relatively unique is a good sign.
