Without Angela and Tucker this cast would be a dud

[swissbeauty23]

honestly ia even tho I like a lot of them as people they're bringing the lulz/drama

I hope they both stay till the end

[zodgory]

Imagining them as final two is killing me. If he goes during the jury phase, I need cameras in that jury house what with all the times he threatens to walk if he makes it that far.

This has been the best season of BB in years

[zodgory]

I wonder if it's the same team from Reindeer Games because I did quite like how those competitions ended up shaking out (though it kills me that Danielle might've still been upset with Brittany because of the hamster wheel heading into Traitors).

People seem to think the AI instigator sounds like America's Player reborn, but we'll find out.

I like AI arena for the live eviction episodes too. It gives things a certain suspense. Though lol at how Julie keeps trying to get the losers to campaign for a minute before final speeches.

[pciam]

I laugh at Julie over that too. That kind of last minute strategy scrambling only ever works on double eviction episodes where they have to make noms and veto replacements with mins.

It doesn’t make sense after the arena because the house has already made up their minds on their primary target and also their backup one if the primary wins the arena.

Oh wow, no more Robyn Kass?

[syphilisdiller]

I was very proud of the fact that they voted out Matt week 1, it seems like every other season would have kept him.

[pciam]

Same!

[zodgory]

Same. I almost wondered if Tucker would slide into that but between him most likely being voted out once he loses veto/AI AND that he keeps saying he'd straight up walk out of the jury house, I'm not going to worry.

The way he reacted when production stopped him from doing some chiropractic thing to Rubina's neck, and the way they've intervened so he can sleep better, I could almost see him self-evicting if he gets fed up (if it weren't also for him saying he wants to be on The Challenge lol)

After last season, this one is such a breath of fresh air.

[pciam]

Last season got so awful. Though I did love Mama Felicia lol.

[syphilisdiller]

I just watch the episodes and catch the stray tidbit on twitter- is there anything big that the show is hiding yet? like people being huge assholes?

[fanmail]

Surprisingly no! This cast is full of really unproblematic people. They’re a little boring, but they’re nice to each other for the most part and aren’t bigots. The biggest controversy so far has been Brooklyn not believing in the moon landing and Leah saying some slightly trad-wife esque things in a dumb debate with Cedric.

[zodgory]

Ever since Angela's blow-up at Matt on the stairs, they tend to cut away anytime Angela starts to get into a heated confrontation with someone. There was a fight with Lisa we never got to see. Her confrontations with Quinn about calling out the group of Chelsie, Cam, Cedric, and T'Kor. Another argument with Quinn after his power was exposed. There was a confrontation between Tucker and Quinn. I was surprised they even let us see Angela and Brooklyn's passive aggressive talk lol.

[pciam]

So far no racist assholes which is refreshing. They did get a new casting person this season which may have helped.

But as someone else pointed out, CBS is quick the pull the feeds during certain moments when arguments are escalating. So while it’s possible we are missing certain things on the feeds, it would still be hard for them to completely cover up someone if they were really racist or homophobic.
