Board 8 > Big Brother/Survivor Summer Topic 2 - Frickin' Khal Drogo

(+) Yeah! (+)

MAN this season is super frickin' white.

*EDIT: Forgot to add the "Worst Gameplayer" tag to Kaitlyn.*
---

I can't tell which side of that poll is the top/bottom
---

Haleigh was the best FOUTTE player.

She literally did everything right and everything that went wrong for her was beyond her control.

Faysal, Rockstar and Kaitlyn were all worse players than this season's outsiders.
---

you were supposed to say someone sucks, Inviso

The therapist throws out a mental illness as a casual joke. Wonderful.

I've known he was a quack since he called Rachel from last season "annoying." Uh, she clearly needed a therapist.

Haleigh was the one who refused to stop her allies from making suicidal moves, and she pushed Faysal to nominate Scottie.

Scummy C was worse than every BB21 outsider except Jessica.

so based on that faysal is the worst

Unless I'm remembering really really wrong, she was vehemently against that move...

I can't understand the poll options I want a new topic

Swaggy went in swinging too hard, but at least he fuckin tried.

let's just say they're all bad

On the show, because they wanted to paint Haleigh as a smart player. In reality, she was the one strongly pushing it because she felt creeped out by Scottie.
---

IIRC Haleigh didnt push Fessy to nom Scottie. She just didnt stop it and let JC do everything.

It was a pretty bad look.
---

This seems like it's built for someone like Holly or Analyse to win. Fuck.
---

why is she getting the blame if fessy was the dumb one to do it

He's still below her. She's just not as smart as the edit tried to portray.
---

If I ever do a free trail of All Access it's going to be to watch an endurance comp play out. Hopefully an all-nighter like the one James won in 18
---

Jessica is already out. SHOCKER.
---

And there goes Nicole. This week is gonna be "great".
---

Dammit Nicole was like the one outside that could have won this (I'm not counting Kathryn as an outsider)
---

i misread and thought haleigh was below fessy there >_>;
---

I'd say Haleigh is better than Scummy C or Rockstar, personally. She at least had a halfway decent social game (mainly due to the fact that she's one of the nicest people from a season of assholes), but was still as FOUTTE as ever.
---

Rockstar had a really solid read on the game (and she was surprisingly strong in comps for someone who couldn't outright win anything.) She was like the white version of Libra from BB10.

HOH this week: ....Holly... Nominees are... Sam & Nick, the easy targets.

Survivor
Episode 1: King Luke is still as awesome as ever. So happy Pia stayed, but sad to see Anastasia go all the same (Susie wouldn't have been missed). I'm sad I won't be the first Andy on the show, but this guy... wow. Cocky bastard, but fun as hell to watch. Easily shaping up to be one of the most memorable villains ever. I really don't like how many athletes there are on the Champions, and them redoing this theme is just... no. I can't relate to the Champs. I couldn't last year. And since they're so used to being in the public eye, we don't get to see their vulnerabilities or complexities since they tend to hide them, especially when on camera. It's like the Goliaths, but to an even further extreme.

Also... why were so many of the Contenders girls not shown in episode one? Casey seems awesome. Laura is a firecracker. She should've just sat out of the reward challenge willingly due to her extremely low center of gravity. Samantha seems to be just there for the eye candy (apparently, she's an Amazing Race transplant). And Sarah... is just there. Hannah... is not there at all. Only Daisy got significant screentime in the premiere.

Episode 2: At least we're getting more from some of them now. On the Champions side, it's amazing how all of these amateurs didn't even think about an idol clue and just let King Luke go walk over and get it. That wasn't even the case on Redemption Island! Also, that immunity challenge was NUTS! Could've done without the slide, though, and the puzzle was too easy (think the "huge disc" from DvG as a comparison). Also, why do these idiots get so eager to change the vote? You don't know who to trust yet. Just shut up and write down the name that isn't you - overplaying early leads to being distrusted later. It'll blow back on Nova and Harry - and it was smart of Andy to let Harry do the dirty work. The edit at Tribal was also funky, and they haven't learned to hide the confessional splicing at all. While JLP, the camera work, the challenge department, and the overall production of the show keep improving... the editing has not. Laura going was pretty obvious, but she really did it to herself by standing out too much. Strategically, I mean.

All that said, this season is already shaping up to be better than last. There are more memorable people overall and everything seems fun again! Definitely feels more like AUS2017 than last season did (King Luke is only a part of that).

Survivor SA
What the hell? How did that... what was with that out-of-nowhere downfall edit? XD, this season is awesome.
---

who is scummy c
---

Swaggy.
---

Veto winner: Holly's target, Nick. Well that makes things interesting! Holly is thinking about either putting up Kat as a pawn (please no!) or Nicole as a new target, since she doesn't want anyone coming after her who wasn't already. The Six Shooters still want Sam out over Nicole, so things could deteriorate.

Also, my above post... the first chunk was about Australian Survivor, and the "Australian" got clipped for some reason. whoops!
---

its on
---

Jackson Michie is a fuckin asshole
---

Kat deserves to win this.
---

Kat no
---

Jackson is fucking obnoxious.
---

I gave up on this season of BB. It's friggin awful.
---

Kinda hoping Christie uses her power to take out Michie
---

Game wise is a different story, but as far as entertainment is concerned, Kat is the fucking savior of this season.

Did the Area 51 raid thing start going around before they were sequestered?
---

I dont think so but its a common conspiracy theory to talk about
---

GTM posted...

its on

Oh, I forgot. That's how much I care.

Australian Survivor
YES! The meatheads imploded. Happy that the jocks aren't going to dominate. Still wish we'd be getting to see more of the Contenders, however.
---

In unrelated news I finished up a rewatch of TAR2 this evening.

Holy damn, I can't think of an example of a Survivor OR TAR season in which the finale hemorrhaged my opinion of a contestant (or in TAR's case, team) as badly as this one did. Brad Culpepper in Game Changers is probably the next closest thing.
---

all of foutte was terrible but the worst was probably rockstar followed by bayleigh (absolutely an alltime bad hoh) and of course fessy

Who? Tara & Wil?

Might have to rewatch that one myself...

Yes. Up until the finale they were a fun and surprisingly well-developed bickering couple, like I was feeling like they were decent people but just wrong for each other, but in the finale they both got so uncharacteristically nasty to each other and it went from bad to worse as the two-hour episode proceeded.

I still rank them pretty highly because they were hugely entertaining for 90% of the season but I actually feel kinda dirty about it.
---

So next is 25, then 3-5 and I'm taking a break, which will have me at 11 seasons or 1/3 of the series re-watched (I'm counting 31 because it's fresh in my mind). 1-5, 22, 25, 27, 29-31.
---

I remember disliking Tara & Wil because I thought they were nasty to each other, but I don't quite remember the details. I was much more quick to dislike people back then than I am now - and I think that's because of the people reality TV has exposed me to, as I stated regarding TAR22 Joey. Somebody REALLY has to cross a line to get on my shit list. Or be as awful of a person in one way another as a Rockstar, Rachel Reilly, or Scot Pollard.

Perhaps it would be nice to go watch TAR back from the beginning. Heck, even Flo might be more tolerable now (probably not).
---

You incessantly bring up Rockstar's name in this "terrible people" list but have failed to give any concrete examples as to why, other than vaguely saying she has said "many racist/sexist" things, which I can't seem to find documented anywhere other than playing the "straight white male" card against Brett which I'll give you sexist on but tbh while I normally hate seeing that being used, it's hard to deny that guys like Brett and Tyler got their way in the BB House and have probably gotten their way a lot in life largely on the shoulders of being attractive, straight, white alpha males. I can see hating Rockstar because she's annoying but she really doesn't go on that list.
---

She said a lot of anti-white male things on feeds. She also did the pots & pans, became the center of a permanent meme regarding her daughter's birthday (which everyone remarked about on the anniversary), and was just a genuinely unpleasant, snotty, hateful SJW bitch.

She's basically all my pet peeves rolled into one.

idk about terrible people, mine was a terrible game players list
---

Note: I have NOT read Veto spoilers for this week.

Damn I want Christie to use her power to send Jackson home on his girlfriend's HoH so bad.
---

So I have been thinking this for a while - if Kat wins somehow, is she the Fabio of BB?
---

This is an early veto. Somethings up
