By this point in the game last year—the start of Day 57, the week following Bayleigh becoming the first juror and right after Fessy broke the sink—we were already on page 305. So that's quantifiably how much duller this cast is, 100+ pages and counting. This really has been a boring season and it's because the casting was so bad. There's some freedom in it because I'm not at all invested in who wins or who stays or goes, so I'm never freaking out about any of it, but isn't that the fun of it? I just have no real feelings about any of these people. Even the "good guys" are extremely meh and pretty dumb. I also take issue with the Christie/Tommy thing, which would be totally fine if it were a twist that everyone was involved in, but it's not and it kind of ruined it for me from day 1. Kind of a sad season, but I'm grateful to all the feed watchers who find real funny where it's very hard to find! 16 Link to comment

They may be high but I'm definitely not the right kind of high for this. HAHAHAHA I noticed they reinforced that sucker this year. Was that before or after Brett broke the glass in the front door? Last year's build was so shoddy. This is what happens when you have a "house" on a set not subject to building codes.

It is nice to have no idea who could win this season, yes (and, to be fair, Tyler didn't even win, so that was a nice twist last year). But at the same time, at least things were still happening. This season, I've either been pissed off, excited and then supremely disappointed, or bored. The most excitement we had was the night of Sam's eviction. We've had some excitement since but the moment Tommy won veto this week, it sucked the fun out of the season again. I can only hope things get back to being fun but....c'mon, there should be SOMETHING happening. 7 Link to comment

If Jackson leaves next, Christie/Tommy steamroll the season, 100%. They'll bring in Holly, since Holly will have no place else to go, and Nicole and Cliff will be picked off. If Jackson wins HOH, there's at least a chance of the power shifting. Not that I don't want Jackson to go, but he's one of the better options to win HOH on Thursday. It's either him, Sis, or Nick (if it's the predicted slip n slide comp), and those options are terrible in itself. I recognize that production loves Jackson. I just recognize that he's a necessary evil right now. He can go during the DE, which should be next week (hopefully). But he needs to be here to take a shot at Tommy/Christie/Analyse, or else they become too powerful. There's one more opening left before they steamroll. This upcoming HOH, believe it or not, is the most important HOH yet. However, Nicole winning HOH would be even better. Tommy needs to be targeted, though. He's dragging the season down for me. He's so static in his gameplay. Taran Armstrong phrased it best on the morning update: Tommy thinks he's better off playing a Kaycee game. Tommy is playing loyal to his allies and refuses to let anything go. He's laying low, hiding behind the Alpha (Christie) so he can coast by as much as he can, but winning where he needs to. I liked Kaycee and appreciated what she brought last season, but her gameplay really WAS boring and required Tyler to screw up in order to pull out a win. Tommy cannot replicate that gameplay, especially since it was literally just done last year. If Tommy goes, the season shifts into something vastly more interesting. Nick and Analyse lose their F3 ally, Christie loses her pre-season ally, and the Six Shooters stop trying to reform with a new member. Unfortunately, Tommy's basically guaranteed F3, at this rate. And I absolutely hate it. 20 Link to comment

But I believe they only implemented that possibility in one competition, and the likelihood of nobody winning was microscopic because it would have required that none of the players scored a single point. Maybe they could bring back similar to that? Additionally, an unpopular opinion: Besides being an irredeemable dirtbag (like Dick, Boogie, Gina-Marie, etc.), I believe the most objectionable qualities in a houseguest are self-righteousness and lack of self-awareness, so if Nicole, Kat, Cliff, or Jess can't win, I'm rooting for Jackson. He's an insensitive jerk, but at least he understands he's an insensitive jerk. I prefer that to somebody like Christie who preaches about what an amazing person she is, then turns around and gloats about how she hopes the outsiders are suffering in the game.

So that's quantifiably how much duller this cast is, 100+ pages and counting. Great minds think alike I suppose because I did the exact same thing the other night. I was going to post a comment in here about how this season probably will not pass the five hundred page mark (I was checking to see when last season got to two hundred pages in relation to the current season). Then I realized I make so many off-topic posts (like this one) so I decided not to post anything. 1 Link to comment
Lady Calypso August 15, 2019 Author Share August 15, 2019 Well, it seems that DR prompted Nicole to consider flipping her vote for tomorrow night's show (as nobody had really discussed keeping Kat until tonight) because Nicole is considering keeping Kat over Cliff. Theoretically, it should go nowhere and Nicole should be voting Kat out, as it usually happens a night before an eviction after someone comes out of the DR with this epiphany. But never say never. At least it's some excitement. 1 Link to comment
