Big Brother Season 26 (2024) / Survivor Season 47 (2024)

[JirinPanthosa]

Before Cedric's HOH I found Tucker's exaggerated Bostonisms a little endearing. Just he's constantly gloating, constantly making terrible game moves and stupid callouts and surviving just because he's good at comps.

Was anyone else yelling at the screen during the AI Arena? I had the backward one in like 20 seconds and it took them like three minutes even when they changed the screens to make them easier. Is it that hard for other people to read backwards?

 

[Guy Gardener]

Well.

If we can't trust America to select a great AI Instigator, how the hell can we trust them to select a great President?

 

[Timewalker]

Ohforfuckssake.

I am getting so tired of looking at Tucker's obnoxious face and hearing his obnoxious voice.

Please let him lose the veto competition this time and let everyone else grow a brain cell and get rid of him while they have the chance.

What was that overdramatic crap with Kimo and Rubina over how "special" T'Kor is? I'll concede respect to her for building a crochet business. I used to have a needlepoint business. But as a player of BB, she's not that special.

And out of nowhere, Angela wanders and starts bawling about being sent home? Unless something weird happened that we weren't shown, she's been on nobody's radar this week. So did something happen, or does she just crave the attention?

 

[Danny99]

I'd rather have Tucker in the game than whatever Leah, Kimo, Rubina, Cam & T'Kor are doing, floating on by and being generally boring.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

I disagree about Kimo and T'Kor, I'd rather watch a good social game than jerkiness for the sake of jerkiness and chaos for the sake of chaos. But the other three I agree they're floating by. And Joseph maybe even more than them.

I'm finding I'm almost never watching Big Brother live just because it's on at the exact same time as Naked And Afraid: Last One Standing on Sunday and The Challenge on Wednesday, but neither of those stream for free the next day.

 

[Guy Gardener]

The Mattrix was awesome.

I've never listened to T'Kor talk for a while before, so two questions?

1. Is T'kor British?
2. Is T'Kor Klingon?

I've been trying to figure out her accent.

When in doubt, look it up.

Turns out I'm partly wrong about where I thought she was from (had guessed England to be part of it, either from the actual UK or one of the non-French colonies in the Caribbean).

But then London has a bazillion accents on its own, so I can't place just one it could be.

Of course, with a first name like that, people could be forgiven for wondering if she's Vulcan...

I haven't liked her much lately, but then I realized that when I have this thought, it's usually "I don't like T'Kor and Kimo." Kimo is always scampering around the house passing gossip and stirring the pot of "so-and-so just told me this". People really shouldn't trust him.

I've been wondering how Tucker, Quinn, and Angela would do at Survivor.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

My god Tucker. I thought he was annoying when he was randomly calling everyone out and winning every comp. Now he's saying how "Oh I do so much for everyone and noone appreciates me!" Now he's annoying AND entitled.

I'm only watching yesterday's episode now but please GOD let the evicted houseguest be either Tucker or Angela. Either the annoyingly dominant entitled chaos monkey or the woman with a self persecution complex who begs her way into alliances then goes on an emotional tirade about how they betrayed them at the first imagined slight. The two of them are making this season borderline unwatchable.

Angela would be first one to go home in Survivor, easily. Bad at physical challenges plus going on emotional tirades every few hours. Tucker and Quinn I think would do okay. Tucker would probably be more tolerable on Survivor cause he'd be edited differently.

 

[Timewalker]

I am satisfied with last night's results. Now if they could just get rid of the other half of that annoying duo...

 

[JirinPanthosa]

If the other half was gone we'd have a totally civil fun social game.

At this point I have no idea how the rest of the game is going to shake out. Every alliance there ever was has been blown up. Almost anyone but the other unstable person could potentially win. It's almost a reset, every alliance larger than 2 people lies in shambles.

 

[Timewalker]

Are there any of the 2-person alliances that are still intact?

 

[JirinPanthosa]

Chelsea/Cam, Kimo/T'kor, Mackensy/Leah.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Wouldn't it be funny if Angela made up her "family" and all she has at home is 5 cats?

 

[Timewalker]

There is nothing wrong with having 5 cats.

 

[Guy Gardener]

There is nothing wrong with having 5 cats.

There is, if you tell people that one of your cats is your husband, and that the other four cats are your children.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

One more thing, the moment anybody refers to themselves as "Your boy" I instantly hate them.

Two days ago I signed an order for cremation for my cat who just died, and the form has a space for "Cat Parent/Guardian." As far as Maddy and I are concerned, I was her mother in every way but biological. Some vets and crematoriums recognize this.

(no, I would not claim to be married to a cat)

One more thing, the moment anybody refers to themselves as "Your boy" I instantly hate them.

Same here. My first thought is always, "You are NOT my boy."

The last person who could make that claim was my cat, Gussy, who died in 2007.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

I’m seeing ads during BB about a new show called The Summit. First it seemed like a physical achievement journey show but now in the ads they’re talking about voting people out?

Now it’s seeming like one of those shows like Boot Camp or that pirate themed one that tries to shoehorn Survivor rules into a context makes no sense.

"Hi. Ain't you Deathstroke the Terminator? Didn't you terrorize a billionaire playboy on a remote island in the North China Sea? And now you want to take me up a mountain and leave me there?"

 

[Timewalker]

I haven't seen any ads, but then I've been watching online on the Global website. They wouldn't be showing any American ads.

A summit is also a word pertaining to political gatherings.

Sounds like CBS is running out of ideas.


Anyway... Why wasn't Joseph nominated instead? Does he actually even serve some function in that house other than taking up oxygen?
