Episode BBAU 2022 - Episode 2 Discussion (10 May, 7:30pm)

[February]

Can't believe I fell asleep for the last five minutes!
Thankfully I was recording it, so have seen the end!

 

[Melore]

What a deeply unfun episode. I really liked Josh, poor fellow, though it was uncomfortable watching him unravel to that degree.

 

[timmy]

But I did feel her sadness when her name was announced...

Understandably triggered.

 

[timmy]

Did Josh have anything worthwhile to say at the end there? My food delivery was too fast and I had to go out front to collect it and missed the end.

He garbled some quote which I missed, to Sam, all connected with his undying love for her or something. It was all very odd.

Oh, and he said something cocky in the car which I've forgotten. Helpful!

 

[Isee]

crazy be crazy... pleased he is gone.

 

[Estelle.Landy]

Fuck I’d rather watch surly

Same.

 

[Poona]

Are there going to be any more OG's as intruders? Bring back Gaelan!

Yeah, bring back Gaelan! I wonder if David knows what Gaelan is up to these days?

Anyway have started to watch this new series only because of the ogs. I don't care much for the format otherwise since it's pre recorded months ago, and not really into the Survivor in a house format.

Same.

Oh how cool, Estelle is back on the forums too! I feel like I want to ask a question but then I feel like that's spoiler territory and not sure how much you're allowed to say.

Umm... Can you say if this robot big brother voice we hear all the time is the only Big Brother you ever heard? Or have they dubbed this voice over the top for a lot of the tv episodes? Because in your original series and others we heard many voices but there was always a main big brother there for nominations/evictions.

 

[Isee]

I dunno if it was the tinder date thing I just got Gable Tostee vibes from Josh - I don't blame Sam for not wanting to date him.

I would not be surprised if she reveals he was the bad sex that made her go into being an intimacy coach though

Omg I learnt about him in my Media Law & Ethics class. He just occasionally gets charged for driving under the influence. Most recent being of him caught naked in his car.

Yeah I agree, there’s casting “crazy” people and then there’s people who just maybe shouldn’t go on a show and should instead get help ://

 

[Rose711]

Tims has 2 kids. How far was he in the closet?

He definitely was in the closet the first season. Remember him kissing the one sugar sister that talked - not the prettier one. She said he was a bad kisser. Lol

 

[Sephrenia]

Layla

She's looking very good!

 

[Rose711]

Tim is very perceptive and is good at disrupting players who may be seen as an alpha or dominant in the group.

I think Tim has a rare combination of being perceptive, being entertaining and likable, and being his honest self. He also is great at creating stories and ways to end up on camera, so he maximizes his screen time.

 

[Rose711]

Hope there is a future task which involves a sustained "cry-off". Winner is obviously the one who can carry the waterworks the longest. Early faves for this task folks?

Tully.

Edit: I remembered how to edit. Is there a thread to ask questions? There used to be one. For example, I don’t know what MAFS is and I don’t know what you mean by the “ new format?” You mean no more public votes?

Also, why was this recorded in advance? Was it COVID rules?

MAFS is another reality show "married at first sight".

Why was it recorded in advance - channel seven are strange and have no idea of what the concept of BB is. They were doing the pre recording thing before covid, although they are now probably conveniently using that as the excuse as to why they are doing such a dumb arse thing if anyone asks.

Edited to add - yay for working out the edit button again!

 

[Meglos]

Ridiculous that Estelle was even up for nomination this early.
Glad we finally got her intro package.

All the promos made it far too obvious who was going, once we knew who was up. It clearly wasn't Sam as she hasn't even met Drew yet onscreen.

 

[chriskicks]

Same.

Rooting for you Estelle! Hope you had a good time in there. How are you finding the edit of the show? Is it representative of what actually went on?

Not sure about a questions thread Rose. Mafs is some garbage set up scripted couples show where they set up simulated marriages and are counselled during the process. The microminutes Ive seen it look to be more badly scripted than our soapie offerings. Tho better more informed heads around here Im sure would give you a clearer picture on that. No public vote as of yet it seems but im hazy on the details. again, much more informed posters on the subject than me.
Im just here for my endless parade of childish chicanery and very occasional sparse insightful posts. And when I say sparse, I mean very very few.
I live to laugh and for others to laugh.

MAFS is Married At First Sight (Australia) which is quality trash/worth having a look at it if you can.

Since Channel 7 took BB over it has been all prerecorded, so no live votes until the final. I think they filmed and edited the first 7 version before Covid. But my memory is fuzzy on all this. Check out the wiki page on Aus BB. It says:

"In 2020, Seven Network revamped the format of the series to resemble the format of the American & Canadian editions - with housemates deciding both Nominations and Evictions among themselves. The new format added emphasis to the competitive aspect of surviving the eviction process. As such, the housemates will now be allowed to strategise, politic and collude about the nominations and evictions. However, there will still be key differences compared to the American/Canadian format, most prominently with the Australian public still deciding the eventual winner - rather than being decided by a "Jury" of evicted housemates (as is the case on the American and Canadian show)."

 

[Wormow]

How the fuck did the producers find this storyline and cast this guy? Great casting. Gone too soon. Traditional BB format would have seen Sam go.

I cried. I've cried both evictions so far. I fucking hate this shit format and yet I'm sucked in. Damn you!

@Estelle.Landy - rooting for you, boo! I was the owner of the TeamEstelle Twitter page back in the day.
