Episode Day 14 (21/09/2014) Big Brother: Sunday

From watching Peter Abbot on Reality Check last week it wouldn't surprise me if BB struggled to recruit decent staff to the show. The editing this season has been woeful. The cut to episode length probably has something to do with it - there's hardly been any footage of extended meaningful conversations where we can get to know the housemates better. It's all 60 second bits chopped up and thrown together like a raw meat salad. The best part of the whole series so far has been the Tim and David convo and even that was spliced with other footage. Someone hire a new editor!!!!!
And when we do get longer conversations it's of Sam telling us about his shark story which literally went for about 9 minutes straight.
 
I know it's going to generate interest, and will probably deliver solid ratings, but since when should interest in Big Brother be generated by one of the housemates altering their appearance? It's so superficial. The compulsion to tune in should be to see how events/conflicts/relationships in the house and between housemates unravel. The events, promotion and interest should be generated from the housemates themselves, and require minimal effort on the part of the production team. Relying on stunts like this to keep people interested is very difficult to sustain in the long run - it's symptomatic of a dying show. We saw the same thing in BB08, with the Pamela Anderson and Carson Kressly visits. They are going to burn themselves out eventually.
This season's HMs don't have the spontaneity of past years; they just sit around waiting to be told what to do next for the cameras (unless of course they are crying) While I don't like scripted shows, the alternative at this stage would be dreary at best.
 
I was more basing my statement on the obvious play fight flirting Sandra was trying on Sam when they were laying next to each other in the room. Everyone in the house (and public now) is aware she has feelings for him and me personally, I would be very uncomfortable watching someone try to put moves on my partner. Although there is obviously the element of trust where you know your partner wouldn't reciprocate I just feel it's kind of like dismissing the relationship by flirting with a taken person whether it real life or in the BB house. It makes me feel as if the person perpetuating the flirting has zero respect for the relationship.



I thought they were both disgusting in their behavior to be honest. I am aware I was more vocal in my dislike for tully but tbh that was due to me just finding out I had been cheated multiple times and it was a bit of a touchy subject lol
understandable ... I just picked up on your 'women in the house' and thought it was a little one-sided because men can be just as guilty
 
Poor gnome had to play his card early. First time I saw David, I thought he'd grown the beard for Big Brother, specifically to sacrifice but I expected it to be a move he'd save until much later, after much work establishing its importance to his individuality, brand etc
 
We'll see.

He is growing on me more and more.

Same here.

betta back down ho

I didn't mind it on the whole. For what this season has to offer, it was okay.

I think it is a foregone conclusion that Gemma will be stomping her way down the gangplank on eviction night.

I would honestly like to slap Travis. "That's why no one likes yuh!" Okay. Thanks Forrest Gump.

Yay! David sans beard!! Can't wait!!

Every Housemate needs a go-to sacrifice for votes and challenges!
 
ffs I'm not going to kiss you....but I don't want to go out there yet because I'm enjoying leading you on so lets stand behind the door....I'm such a bad partner, it's not going to happen (he walks away) but don't walk away because I'm still loving the attention and I'm still pretending to be holier than thou so i'll just jump on your back and suggest we sleep together here in the dressing room...but I'm such a loyal person.

Get fucked. Hooking up with someone who is not in a relationship with someone that is no longer your 'pair' is less painful than dragging it out because you want to make a bigger deal of it than it is because you want to be a fucking martyr that is going to sit on his fucking face anyway, so stop pretending to be all "I can't" when we all know you are going to and making something of it when it would normally just be a minor blip. Oh skye wont be happy.. but so what, lets make a point of skye not being happy before we finally get down to it just to make sure everyone is aware of how kind I am by dragging it out and making more painful and stupid than it had to be.

tully part 2
ohhh I think Lisa is in a category all of her own
she's doesn't give a rats a$$ about Skye - just herself
