Big Brother USA - 12. Season Commentary Thread

[Danny99]

I missed the original airing of the episode on Sunday, but caught a re-run this afternoon. My thoughts:
- Do the writers or the Chenbot actually believe saying “Matt, you’re safe” before evicting Monet 7-2 actually do anything dramatic before the eviction two seconds later?
- I still dislike every woman in this house. They’re either catty (Britney), voice like an air raid siren (Rachel), useless (Kathy), or invisible (Kristen). Just because they might look good doesn’t change the fact that they are useless.
- I like Ragan (contrary to popular belief after being called out as a homophobe earlier in this thread). If he stops de-evolving into the stereotypical flaming moments, I’d be rooting for him. Big points for telling his high school bullies to fuck off during the endurance competition.
- Brendon and Rachel are still idiots. The saddest part is that they actually think they’re falling in love. I don’t care how book smart they are, “love at first sight” cannot apply in a game for a million dollars. Please CBS, give us America’s choice or Coup d’teat or whatever and we’ll get rid of them for you!
- Matt’s turning into a little cocky shit. I want to like him, I really do. But his arrogance, in addition to the whole wife with a rare disease thing, isn’t winning him points in my books.
- Ragan and Andrew are going to feel so dumb for trusting Matt, especially on the wife front, when this game is over.
- Props to Matt’s quote when he asks who wants to see his HOH room: “Feign excitement everyone!”
- How has the Brigade stayed secret? Especially with a loud guy like Enzo and a cocky shit like Matt.
- As much as Brendon and Rachel annoy me with their show-mance, I like Hayden and Kristen’s. It’s not an “oh my God, he’s my life partner” or “Oh my God, I love him/her.” It’s two people making out and having a good time, it’s not love.
- Mark my words: Rachel votes Andrew out so he stops interrupting make out time.
- Lane is great. His whole spiel with Britney acting out Brandon and Rachel and his diary room sessions are great.
- Andrew gunning for you? Oh, I’m so scared.

The Brigade has actually stayed a secret, amazingly. It's a combination of them trying really hard to keep it that way and everyone else's stupidity. Rachel still believes that Enzo and Lane are "floaters" that have no alliances in the house and that they may possibly persuade to their side. Haha! The four guys in the Brigade actually don't hang out together very often at all, it may be two together at a time, maybe three, but rarely all four, which is a good strategy for them. Instead of talking things out as a group they pass them along person to person, like a note in class. And Rachel and Brendon are too dense and full of themselves to realize that people aren't playing the same retarded game that they are.

 

[Trekker4747]

Did Cathy just say the treatment she's taking for her cancer is causing her... cancer?!

 

[Danny99]

I'm just glad to see Andrew gone.

What kind of final speech is that? Plus his implosion on Kristen. Like what kind of gameplay is that?

 

[kitkat]

I watch this sometimes with my husband (he's the reality show freak, as a rule, I can't stand them). Last year, I really liked Jordan and Jeff and was glad she won. Some people think game play is more important, but if it were me, I would vote for the person I wanted to see with the money, not the person who stabbed the most backs, etc. to get to the final two. Maybe that makes me soft but that's just me.

So, that brings me to this season...

I don't like ANY of these idiots! Kathy is probably the only one I would like to see win but because that's what I want, I'm sure it won't happen.

I kind of like Hayden because I don't think he's a bad person, just not terribly bright. Same with Kristen; she didn't play it cool enough when they got called out by Andrew, she needed to just chill.

Matt is a MORON! I can't say that enough. He thinks he's so smart but I think he's probably the stupidest person in the house.

And that brings me to Rachel and Brenden. I don't even know where to start. First off, I have NO clue what Brenden sees in her and that in and of itself makes him lose lots of credibility.

Rachel, IMO, has NO redeeming qualities whatsoever. She's a bitch, she's obnoxious as hell, she's loud, she thinks she's so much hotter than she is (I don't necessarily think she's ugly but she's not all that) and she's the kind of girl that's the reason I've mostly always had male friends. She is a "C" word. I don't utter that word often, it's reserved for women who really, REALLY tick me off. And does she have to, (loudly) in everybody's goodbye message, say, "NOBODY GETS BETWEEN ME AND MY MAN!"

My hubby watches the After Dark thing and I couldn't even sit there when Rachel was getting her HoH room because if I had to listen to her scream "AWWWWWWWWWWWW" again, I was gonna take hostages!

On a positive observation, I did (although I don't like Brittany either), loved when she and Lane were saying what Brenden and Rachel were saying. Cracked me up!!!

 

[Keith1701]

Glad to see Monet gone.

Matt has to lose points in my book about the whole lying about the wife's disease thing. Yeah, it's a game and it's a strategy, but it still rubs me the wrong way.

Rachel has to go this week. Brandon may be stronger, but his voice isn't like dragging nails over a chalkboard.[/QUOTE

I am glad to see Monet gone to she was a real bitch . I would like to see Brittany gone to . I am hoping that Brandon wins , but if he stays with Rachel he might not.

Kathy is the one I like least, by far (even counting Rachel). Fuck all that "boohoo I had cancer (but still smoke cigarettes nonetheless), my son needs the money and I can't pay for my health care" pity bullshit. If you depend on a reality tv show to survive you're probably fucked either way. Also, she's a horrible player, always aligning with the minority but too wishy-washy to really make a stand.

I still like her but I definitely see your point. One of my main reasons for liking her so much is that she doesn't irritate me. You're right, she's talks about her problems too much but I guess if that's all she has to talk about, that's all she has to talk about. And, in a way, it is game play because she is trying to play on their sympathies to stay around, ya know? But, don't worry, she'll be gone before long...that annoying ass Rachel will probably be there to the end.

Oh, and last night, I loved the diary sessions where everybody was talking about going up to see Rachel's HoH room even though they would rather kill themselves. I don't like Brittany but she was cracking me up!

How is Kathy so poor being a deputy sheriff? I agree with the whole "she has cancer, but still smokes" comment. I'm an ex-smoker and if I had cancer, I'd quit or pack it in.

Brandon annoys me cause he seems to have one line: "Dude, you got caught, just admit it!"

Rachel...Rachel, well I was taught if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

 

[Roger Wilco]

I so hope Rachel gets kicked out next week.
Although it would be hilarious to see the other houseguests' reaction if Brandon wins HOH.

Yeah, that was great.

Brandon can be annoying, but I kind of like him. I think he's nice guy in real life. I have no idea what he thought he was doing getting involved with Rachel though.

 

[Spot's Meow]

Brendon irritates me because he is so fricken whiny. He gets offended at the littlest things Rachel does and then pouts and argues about it for the rest of the day. Not that Rachel is any better.

Kathy annoys me because she has that holier than thou attitude, and often trash talks people as if she is a saint. And she's really not doing much of anything in terms of game.

My favorite is still Ragan because he is the most intelligent while still being caring and funny.

 

[Trekker4747]

So... does everything Regan says in the "Diary Room" have to relate to a promiscuous, stereotypical, gay lifestyle?

I mean I'm heterosexual and I'm offended with everything he says.

If pretty much anyone else had posted the above, it might have some weight. With you posting, we just shrug it off as "yet another Trekker4747 whiney post" ya know?

If you actually listened to stuff he says, he's not like that at all. Youtube it and see. But I suppose when you've made your "mind" (snickering at the thought of you having a mind) up, well, you're going to ignore anything that doesn't fit inside that narrow tiny itty bitty little box, and only look for things that fit your predetermined notion.

I did write something like that above. I was accused of being a homophobe.

It seems he has been the victim of bad editing because it seems like every episode, he has some kind of line just to remind us he's gay. And it's not a self exploration piece that might break the typical gay stereotype. It's some lude comment that they can just slide by the censors, an example being the challenge where he was taped to the wall and then goes on to tell Julie how that's a regular Saturday night for him.

I may be a Big Brother fan, but I really wish that the editing and the houseguests that CBS choose had more than two brain cells.

 

[Trekker4747]

Exactly, every other thing that comes out of his mouth is pretty much just him saying. "I'm a gay man slut who likes having cocks in my mouth and being showered in semen!"

It's not that he's gay, I've no problem with that, but it's that in almost every interview he does he says something so off the wall it just... Ugh. Like when he was talking to Julie and saying that being taped to a wall with things being sprayed in his face wasn't unusual for him and whatever it is he said on Sunday's night show that was along the same lines.

 

[Roger Wilco]

Everybody on shows like this is a stereotype to some degree. I mean, what about (superficial blonde) Britney, (dumb jock) Hayden, (Jersey Shore guido) Enzo, (Jew) Andrew?

This will be a shocker--warning for trolling. It was the "snickering at the thought of you having a mind" bit that threw it over the edge.

Wednesday thoughts:

- The Rachel and Brandon puke-mance continues. How it continues I don’t know. They are constantly bickering, however it seems like Brandon has been emasculated.
- The Brigade seems really unconcerned that Hayden could go home. It’s not a sure thing, but they seem to be treating it as such.
- Britney has redeemed herself in my eyes. All it took was losing Monet.
- Points to Ragan for putting another target on Rachel’s back with the $5000.
- I have a feeling Britney might not have taken the veto from Hayden if her last choice wasn’t so hard.
- I retract my earlier okayness with Hayden and Kristen’s show-mance. It got taken to dumb levels tonight with the fingers under the door. The only reason it doesn’t automatically go to puke-mance is at least they aren’t as annoying as Brachel.
- I’d be shocked if anyone took the new saboteur powers. Maybe outside of Matt…
- Hilarious visual of the line: bulked up Lane floating around in an intertube.
- Is Britney hot for Lane?

 

[Trekker4747]

Camel toe!

 

[Danny99]

Thursday thoughts:

- Britney throwing Rachel under the bus was a great move. Target on her back is completely gone.
- The Britney imitation of Rachel was great, plus the busted look! Rachel is the biggest idiot ever for not realizing they were making fun of her.
- Brandon is the eternal diplomat: his girlfriend’s mortal enemy comes up to talk to him and he’s like “oh no, we trust you.” At least he didn’t believe her in the end.
- Julie really is a robot. She is programmed, just watch when she comes back from a commercial break.
- Ragan is gassy? Thank you for that vital piece of information.
- Child Hayden with a mullet = awesome!
- You got to feel bad for Kristen’s boyfriend. He did give her the option of going in single and she basically trampled on that. I do feel good that he said it’s over.
- The best words of the night: “It’s the last hour of Rachel’s reign as HOH.”
- Brandon is once in a lifetime? Brandon’s a eunuch of a man.
- Ragan is a nice guy, he just keeps making horrible game moves.
- I didn’t expect it to be 6-1, but I was happy with Kristen’s eviction. She went from being a background player to front and centre and it screwed her over.
- Rachel’s goodbye speech: she is getting stupider and stupider. Really, playing a personal game is never a good idea.
- Ragan being the new saboteur? I don’t think he’ll take it.
- CBS is going to milk Jeff and Jordan for all they can.
- The giant paintbrush was so cheesy, I laughed for a solid minute.
