BBAU Rewatch

I’ve been a lurker of this site since 2013. First time posting. Made a new account just so I can post. Started watching in 2012 but I think my favourite season out of the channel 9 seasons is 2013. I’ve watched the 2013 season 5 times since it first aired. Excited for the new season especially with three of my favourites from the 2013 season returning

I think someone like Rohan would’ve done much better in the 2014 season. He was doomed to fail by being in the 2013 season. Also I’m surprised someone like Xavier didn’t last long either. But he had a secret mission from Surly to complain about everything for a day….which he did and the housemates then mentioned how annoying he was in the next nominations. It’s a shame he left so early.
I didn’t mind Rohan actually. 11 year old me thought he was cute and was robbed. Idk from what I can remember he didn’t really serve much other than a few snarky remarks. Because he was in the halfway house and this was when people were not exactly pleasant with Tully’s whinging. I guess to an extent I would’ve wanted him to stay. But definitely over Xavier. He literally did nothing.
 
I would agree that Rohan and Xavier had more to offer, I would have liked to see them stay longer. Tully was so close to leaving when Xavier did, I doubt she would have managed her influencer career in that event.
 
I’ll be finding out soon. Watching the 2013 finale tonight and posting my thoughts. Mixed feelings about starting 2014. I have no idea if I’m excited or if I feel like this a chore.

Wow nearly all finished! I will be keen to hear your thoughts on 2014 and the absolute mess that it was.

You should get through 2014 pretty quickly. It was only a 80 day series and pretty much no Sunday and Friday episodes after the first few weeks.

I am totally blown away with your progress. 😮 Well done! I would take years to get through watching every season again. I have really enjoyed reading your thoughts and watching highlights you have picked out. Thank you Zcsund.

I wish you luck getting through the 2014 season. Like TR, I am well impressed with your efforts, and your commentary!

If that wasn’t a double eviction then Xavier would’ve stayed and only Rohan would’ve went. I think Xavier staying in the house would’ve changed the dynamics in the game especially later on.
 
Rewatching the finale is so weird. I can literally picture myself watching it on the very day. It's a real spin out revisiting it again.
 
Seeing Sonia reveal the standings at the beginning of the finale being 35.6% 34.2% and 30.2%, how? How tf did Jade manage that much support? I do not get it.

I remember watching it live! I ate a box of cheezels and a box of pizza shapes while watching the 2013 finale 😂 so weird I can remember that. I was 19. Turned 20 a few weeks later…now I’m 28 and turn 29 in a few months. Time is scary
 
Tbh the 2013 finale is pretty shit. So much wasted time spent on recapping the evicted housemates with no time at all left to interview Tim. It felt too much like a normal eviction show, I would have loved for the auditorium to be opened up and have more seating used like in 2012. No where near as good as the 2012 finale show, it lacked the event feel to it. I don't even want to be reminded on how poor the 2014 one was.

Done and dusted with 2013 now! Wrapping up my thoughts which I will post soon. And now off to the final season of my rewatch! I am almost there everyone. I have almost watched BBAU in it's entirety (well the seasons that count anyways) in less than half a year. Not sure if this is an achievement I should be proud of or concerned about!

Yeah I agree the finale wasn’t the best. As good as the season was the finale definitely left a bittersweet taste in my mouth. Was happy with the final result! But Tim got almost no screen time after being announced as the winner! I still think he should’ve jumped in the pool before leaving…you could tell he was thinking about it! But looking like a drowned rat on stage probably stopped him!

2012 finale was fantastic! A lot of effort went into it. 2013 finale just felt like they called it in. It’s like they knew the next year was the last one so why bother put on a big show. I don’t really remember the 2014 finale at all….but I think it was worse than 2013

Applaud the effort, determination and the matryrdom for the rest of us Z.
Seriously. Thanks for the thread and the invoking discussion from you and all.

The discussion with others has been my favourite part of this. I was going to silently do this without making a thread or anything. But I am glad I decided to do this. I wouldn't have had as much fun doing this without others contributing their thoughts and opinions along the way.

Discussion without vitriol and acceptance of differing opinions is the apex of rationality and civility. Fosters the ability to think and revise ones own opinions. And to learn. The greatest gift. Cheers Z.
 
Trying to compile my thoughts together onto paper (word document doesn't sound as right does it?) and it's actually really hard. This cast makes me think a lot whilst a lot of them don't stray far from the same thing repeated in a lot of the daily shows. I find that the narrative of 2013 is heavily contrived by editing in comparison to the other previous seasons. People like Tim, Ben, Tahan and Tully have me swimming in an ocean of thoughts but I just can't even summarise my thoughts properly on them.
 
Speaking of Rohan, my only real memory of him is thinking he was a complete idiot because they aired footage of him discussing that on his list of events in the outside world that production had to inform him of if they occurred while he was in the house (usually used for family member harmed/death etc) he put "Apple announces new iPhone".

:confused:

How embarrassing.
