  1. Early seasons definitely had more interaction between teams and downtime things and flights themselves were part of the race. Because there is none of that now it's hard for me to really have much of an opinion on teams. And the pace is unrelenting so the episode seems light. The alliance part feels grafted onto the show rather than something that organically develops, the producers likely encourage it.
  2. I'm not into alliances, and teams telling other teams the answer. They even have the locals give the answer, like the guy judging the building of the huts telling them what they did wrong. The main interest so far is just how incompetent teams are. The casting is very vanilla, but at least in this episode one team blew up at each other, to show they are just racing automatons. It's all fast fast fast, the old days when you actually got to know the teams more (beyond just background stuff) is long gone. Rob and Amber were good, people liked them or hated them, but at least they created an impression.
  3. But you said it was boring to you, Enzo contributed to that by playing for second/third place and giving Cody all the information he needed. And 'boring' in an entertainment show is really an important flaw. I'm not one of those who hates people for comments in the house, it's a game. But I do prefer entertainment in reality shows, and in Big Brother that means people making moves rather than just talking about making moves. And I'm not interested in external stories, I prefer it where all contestants start level at the first episode.
  4. Because he was that bad. The memory competitions about events in the house are so expected now it isn't as much of a test as it's supposed to be. But while the producers know most of the audience will just accept the same stuff every year they see no reason to change anything. Just change the decor/theme and that will please most it seems.
  5. Which would have been far more interesting, from our viewer perspective.
  6. Enzo was annoying right to the end wasn't he? Even the finale was a let down really, Cody v Nicole would have been a better final two, and maybe not unanimous. Enzo finishing third again would have been funny. I always think second place gets way too much money anyway, it's the goat/weak player money if the game is played ruthlessly. And at the end we saw how the eviction interviews should have been done. Julie Chen on screen, meaning no masks needed.
  7. I actually came into the thread to ask ......who won the best Zoom background award? Otherwise most of the episode was a clip show again. The endurance competitions are never the most interesting to me.
  8. It might be more interesting seeing them reacting to stuff (non gameplay things I suppose) rather than just doing a kind of fake narration.
  9. I always skip that as well, it seems to go on for way too long anyway. And the editors really struggle to create suspense, the parts which are meant to create uncertainty can even look a bit fake like it was set up (like that Nicole/Cody confrontation).
  10. I don't think she can win competitions just when she wants to. So this 'special episode', I'm assuming it's just a recap one?
  11. Enzo should have put him on the block, that was just sheer stupidity. I considered that idea, but thought it might make it more predictable (at least to us). As it was random it was completely unknown who would win.
  12. They have this every year, so they know if they get near the end they'll need to remember the chronology. Every night they probably repeat to themselves what happened on each day up to that point.
  13. The luxury competition was actually the highlight of the episode, it was quite funny and nice to see them having some fun. The producers should play it to the Jury House, of course they won't.
  14. The only real interest in the HoH room for the audience is the screen where they can spy on where others are in the house, but that's very rarely made part of the storyline. And the whole 'who wants to see my HoH room' has always been funny because there's never much change in the room from one week to the next.
  15. Cody keeps talking about other people being a snake, but they all do various deals for flexibility or fake deals including him. Cody is with Enzo but he's also with Nicole. Memphis likely had more ties with him than Christmas.
  16. The jury segments on this show always feel fake in some way. Even how they were just standing around and grouped in a particular way at the start looked fake, and then what they say often sounds scripted and awkward. Obviously the family part wasn't scripted, but it was just a twist the producers put in anyway and they knew what they would get, so it wasn't natural either.
  17. The edit always wants to show him popular. But he's been playing the same game as someone like JC did, running about giving all the secrets away and making the game boring. He keeps talking about making a move, but even a vanilla move like making Nicole decide who goes wasn't followed through.
  18. The one thing I don't like about that is how someone may not get to play in a competition at all and yet still be evicted if they had been the previous HoH. It's been obvious for a long while that the Veto has been a problem, from the non-use of it to the randomness of who gets picked. One way to create more gameplay would be to have a competition that puts up a third nominee. Three nominees makes things more interesting, if it's just two it's often a simple choice and most of the house never feels in danger.
  19. I also thought that during the episode. A memory competition is fine, but we've have had several of them. I like having a hide and/or find competition or twist. If it creates a mess they can obviously get the HGs to clean it up. None of the audience clean it up so it shouldn't matter to them. I don't know why producers allowed HGs to throw drink and food around in the past anyway. Christmas had a good idea, but of course Enzo isn't trying to win the game so she was wasting her words on him. It would be better not to let second place get so much money, it would encourage more to play to win.
  20. I skipped through most of the episode, once the HoH was decided it was all quite predictable.
  21. I didn't even hear the God stuff, I never see the point looking at a 4 minute H0H teaser so I just switch off. It always seems a waste of time which could be used for more of the interview, but it's one of those pointless traditions along with pleas. It's quite common that the eviction episode isn't a HOH one too, the next one is often that (despite the threat titles).
  22. Yet another failed comedy segment this episode, that talk between Cody and Enzo. I don't think Enzo will ever be funny however much they feature him.
  23. The whole 'like' stuff was because he had nothing to say and was trying to buy time to think up some more rubbish to say. Christmas will have seen that as well, but you just have to go through this process even if you know you're going on the block I suppose. The episode felt like it didn't matter what happened with the veto, the nominations would seal the fate of one of them and that's all that mattered to those in charge. The veto doesn't often change the game in BB.
  24. Roadkill competition season 18 which I do remember, and apparently season 21 as well (Power of Veto - "Take It Off"). Frank likely took part in the first one, easy to confuse him with Tyler.
  25. I've never liked Enzo this season (never saw his first season). Even though his edit hasn't felt bad (getting jokes in the DR, us being told he's really liked) he still gives a bad impression with his ego and wearing those shades. He is actually very shady and while that can be a valid game if played well it's very annoying to view when someone like that just gives an easy path to the biggest threat in the house (in this case Cody). They both end up just floating by without much of a challenge. It feels like he's playing for 2nd place.
