God damn I enjoy reading all of the opinions here.
It's like this is a world where people still have thoughts, or something.
I'm so torn.
I know Estelle is so much of the energy I align with now, but Estelle isn't in there, and this production of the game is surely the most unfair season I've ever seen in any of the CAN/UK/AU/US formats I've witnessed...
But I am still so grateful the OGs came back. And they put trust into this game to be represented fairly and god I appreciate they took that leap.
I gotta be honest it annoys me when Reggie says she like.. earnt her spot in like a competitive/strategic sense.
BUT, THESE ARE EDITS, and big brother gives suggestions on what to say... etc... So...
So much bugs me, but yet, this horrid show format still gave us glimpses back to a better time...
But that was only because of the OGs... But the only OG left is.. Reggie...
Who would deserve the money, because, the world isn't a great place right now...
It's not just picking a winner, its $250,000 too... Which sure isn't Trevor kinda winner money lmao, certainly not today, but still...
I know that Taras "played the game" best, but was there really a game, or was it a circus? No accountability, we know that for sure. I wish they had at least just copied the US/CAN format so there was some kind of ritualistic understanding of what was going on, because half the time I didn't understand what competition was for what... And those panic room tasks... and this fake idea that the shopping tasks actually mattered when they would then always give them feasts after starving them for a while, every week... LMAO. Or whatever. I don't know. Because edits....
So how do you vote? Although Taras tried to play, Big Brother did not make even a remotely fair game. If I vote for Taras to win, in a game that wasn't remotely fair, wouldn't that further the idea that this is a format of Big Brother that is okay to do?
If I vote for Johnson, it might also further the idea that we can form an emotional connection to someone edited-to-pieces, and I just don't have that with Johnson, because Big Brother edited all of this to pieces.
The only reason I could connect with the OGs is from recalling back to when I did know them. I could fill in the gaps, even with Reggie, which I think is amazing considering how long ago that was.
Even if Taras doesn't win, it doesn't mean he isn't a winner in other ways... He completely deserves to come back and be congratulated for doing what he did, but, I feel I need to vote for Reggie, maybe just as a protest and money-deserving vote, even though I know he did well.
It was also somewhat rigged in his favour by it always being physical challenges, and his lighter but still fit body is something that is kind of the sweetspot for challenges, like Estelle's, and the competitions didn't have variety of mental challenges or things that Reggie even had much of a chance in despite her disability. It always felt like it was Taras vs Estelle.
I think I want to vote for Reggie... I guess maybe for as a protest vote... And a vote to just give reggie $250,000 as a present for being the one left that has let us dream, back to simpler times. *sigh*
Am I just weird or others kinda feel it too? I actually feel it would be fitting to just give it to Reggie, who sailed through on sympathy and appreciation, because Big Brother ensured she never had a chance in challenges or most of anything. It's the OG vote isn't it... I'm not committed to OG voting, but I am committed to the OG format...
And knowing just how completely counter Reggie was to being able to participate fairly in this circus format sure does attract me to voting for her even more.
