Episode BBAU 2020 - Episode 8 Discussion (22 June)

[snarkmachine]

When it happened toward the end of BB01, it was actually a motivational boost for the HMs as a few of them reached a real low, almost depressive-like state. They talk about it in-depth during a couple of the post-season 1 Specials.

yeah, people used to get very depressed and down near the end. there was a real sense of claustrophobia from the old seasons that isn't really there now

Whilst I think this format is alright for one season, I don't see it sustaining its ratings in future years due to how repetitive it is. Every episode is basically the same thing.

100%. I realised I'd forgotten they were real humans. I found it really endearing, and moving.

They are mere chess pieces for dangerous dan to move as he ascends to his rightful place as big brother winner!

 

[Will McDougle]

Good 3 seconds from Xavier there.

It does ok in the USA.

Very affable statement.

 

[MADONNA]

You could face swap Xavier with Sonia and not notice the difference.

 

[Consuela]

I'll give it to them this is a pretty creative task.

 

[bleachy_dude]

Sure. But you can’t complain of people having a difference of opinion on here ? If majority see through it I don’t think we are all bitter people...

And no of course it’s a different experience. But this is the least genuine BB ever made in this country. Producers inside, camera men in the “basement” seeing the camera men operate the cameras in the outside runs. Every room is set up like a TV set with lighting rigs as apposed to the old house having proper ceilings and natural lights.

No absolutely. You are entitled to your opinion as am I.
im not going to apologise for enjoying whaT we get for what it is. Feel free to continue to disagree with me. I’m not offended at all! All G.

 

[the Theorist]

Okay so I completely zoned out and missed the last 15 minutes or so.

The last thing I remember is all the crying...

 

[kxk]

Go Garth stuff up the plot

 

[Tim]

This challenge is near identical to yesterday?

 

[sav0001]

Whilst it has some parts of the US version, the US version is not as condensed as this. Plus theirs is filmed live and they still have live streams.

 

[Mr Stickyfingers]

Maybe we needed Alex Mav back.

...I’d rather be dragged by my balls over 3 kilometres of broken glass rather than have HIM or Surly the fish back!... no... just... NO!... please no!... anything but THAT!... cheers.

 

[lowkeymusicc]

Are they not allowed to rotate the blocks 90 degrees? That'll make it easier.

 

[snarkmachine]

i'm sorry but any challenge that doesn't end in the housemates getting covered with slime and fish guts is a waste

Don't worry. You haven't missed much.

 

[Columbo]

Zoe is the hottest one in the house

 

[the Theorist]

We just know the fish given to Ian would have TALKED.

 

[timmy]

This challenge is near identical to yesterday?

Insofar as they're pulling on something gently?
