Big Brother 18

I don't know if everyone gave up on the show, but this has been my favorite season in a long time. Strategy-wise, watching people go out as replacement nominees is boring, but the "voting with the house" hasn't happened as much. Clay is kinda annoying, but Shelly reminds me a bit of Daniele (Dick's daughter) for some reason. I like the wrestler guy since his bromance partner got voted out early. The poker girl is probably my favorite to win at this point, though.
Audrey probably set back the perception of transgendered people by 20 years by acting like a crazy lunatic. The twins are starting to grate on my nerves a little bit and watching Steven interact with the rest of the house makes me cringe, but for the most part they've gotten rid of the people that annoyed me the most (surfer-dude, Dae, and Audrey).

Main downside to the season now is that the Sixth Sense is probably going to cruise to the end now, but since they were mostly my favorites in the house, I think I'm okay with that. I don't know...I guess I either need likable people or two equal, strong factions in a Big Brother house to make it interesting. I don't remember the last time we had multiple strong factions that battled throughout a season, so I'll settle for the likable people this season.

I'm still watching, but it seems like the only topic lately has been how bat shit Audrey is.

Literally every time she was talking, I'm sitting there thinking "Wow, you're mentally unstable. It's no wonder you're a tranny."

Given how wigged out she was acting I would have been some what afraid of a random mid night knife attack. Seriously don't go on a show like that if you cannot handle the thought of getting voted out.

Wow, I had Vanessa as my favorite to win, but that was incredibly dumb. No chance she wins now.

I still have her as the heavy favorite. She won't be a target any time soon. It's Derek level gameplay so far.

I loved seeing Vanessa go on about how Austin was "stupid for letting his emotions take over"

Meanwhile she was in tears wigging out multiple times this week.

I guess that it's definitely possible that Vanessa could still win since the other half of the house just seems a bit bewildered. I hadn't looked too closely at who was left. But it requires that they roll for the next 2 weeks or so (none of them get nominated).

Jason's pretty much screwed this week unless someone decides to throw a troll vote to Becky. That leaves Becky, Jackie, James, John, Meg, and Steve against the alliance. That's a pretty pathetic group of people and I have a hard time seeing them banding together. But you get a single nominee from the sixth sense and they'll probably all vote to get rid of them. If that person is ever Vanessa, she's done.

I had thought of Austin as a favorite to win for a while, but he's so far out of the game right now there's no chance. I don't really like anyone else to root for them (except maybe Johnny Mac).

What? Derrick was everyone's friend up until the very end. Several people hate Vanessa after last night. I hope someone not in the main alliance wins HOH tonight. The 2 HOH / BotB thing fucking sucks when people are intentionally trying to throw it.

Derek level, not the same strategy. She's been in total control and even the responsible HoH a few times and still deflecting repercussions. No one yet has identified her as the leader apparently.

Hmm, well now I'm thinking Vanessa may make it by throwing Clay and Shelli under the bus. She'd be smart to distance herself from them.

That Johnny Mac shit was hilarious. He's just so awkward. I also laughed pretty hard at those eagles smacking them in the chest for the HoH.

You always hear people say they're going to lay low, then surprise people, but when does that ever happen? I'd love for Johnny Mac to become a player, but usually the real players all announce themselves by Week 4 or so.
Like I said before, most of the people that initially annoyed me are out of the house now...but it is going to get very boring if the minority group doesn't win some HoHs now. Might be interesting when the main group fractures, but that usually ends up being a letdown, too.

I dislike them so much. Mostly Shelli. She seems so full of shit. I'd guess that with her gone, Clay will mellow out a bit.

I laughed pretty hard at Clay's mumbling subtitles. Whoever did that has a good sense of humor.

God I love this season. I know there used to be a twitter that caught any nudity from the live streams...have Shelly or Jackie been caught yet? Jackie's looked really good the last couple weeks.
I just don't know who else in that alliance can win with TexAsian sitting out next week...hopefully the house will be divided enough after this week to keep the rest of the season interesting.

I think for the most part the camera guys have been protecting the girls on the live streams. I checked a forum a couple of weeks ago and there was really minimal shots available.
