PhilMarlowe2 July 17, 2014 Share July 17, 2014 I really don't Wil as a person but his impersonations are always on-point. He actually somehow manages to look like each one of the different contestants - somehow he physically captures each one's essence. His impersonation of Dan was off the charts amazing. And his Julie is always on-point. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6797-bb-in-the-media-outside-the-fishbowl/page/4/#findComment-206936
methodwriter85 July 17, 2014 Share July 17, 2014 Yeah, nothing will ever beat Wil's Dan impersonation. He's also really good at adjusting the impressions as we got to know the housequests- he played Elissa like a mini-Rachel, but later on improved the impression and had her acting like she was on a massive amount of Xanax. I like that he's having fun with Caleb being a crazypants psycho. And the way he's doing Donny's confessionals are just fucking hilarious- the soft, effeminate Southern voice and the downcast, modest expressions? Just hilarious.

Seriously, why couldn't we have gotten THIS Wil in season 14 instead of the apathetic "couldn't give a shit" guy who just played with his hair extensions we got?

Their headline, Ariana Grande Hides Grandfather's Death from Brother Frankie, spins it as very uncomplimentary to Ariana, even though the actual report does go into detail that it seems to have been at Grandpa Frank's request. Low blow, TMZ. From feed spoilers, it seems that some decision was made to tell Frankie anyway (and Ariana certainly had to be part of that since there was a letter to him from his family telling him to stay in the house and why)--at the point this is being posted he's known for several hours.

It seemed too on the nose to me to have just happened but of course I could be wrong.

Turtle August 12, 2014 Share August 12, 2014 Do any of you listen to Rob C.'s Big Brother podcasts? I do, because I like the people he has on, and because I like hearing some of the discussion. But I am consistently annoyed by two things: 1) I'm not sure that Rob really understands strategy. I felt the same when listening to his Survivor podcasts. He seems to miss a lot of what happens, or to just really misinterpret it. I don't think this is me thinking I'm better than him - frequently, I am surprised by and impressed by the analysis I read on these boards, and he never comes anywhere near that level of really understanding the game. It's annoying, because I think that a guy who is making his living talking about reality shows should actually understand reality shows. 2) He is sexist. He never mentions a woman without mentioning her physical appearance. He does talk about how men look as well, but it's either in a "what is he wearing?" kind of way, or in a way that seems to be mocking gay men. Generally, his comments about women are about them needing to ride mens' coattails or using sex as a weapon or whatnot. I hate that he is this way. I really do enjoy hearing people like Ian talk about the current season and the game in general, but some of the stuff Rob C. says is like nails on a chalkboard to me.
