Big Brother Thoughts

 Hello again beautiful people. It is that time of year again. Summer is here and it's time for my FIRST IMPRESSIONS of the Big Brother 23 House Guests! Hard to believe I've been watching this show faithfully since 2007. Wowza. So, a couple of notes. First, CBS has been going through a major shift. The head of CBS left a few years ago due to scandal. We've had a few programming executives move up or leave.  The casting director, Robyn Kass , 'stepped away' and this year's casting was done by someone else. And finally, CBS pledged to have more people of color in their reality show casts. I am writing these impressions right after the initial reveal, with a photo and a short questionnaire answered by each HG. No word on if we are getting video interviews. I imagine we must, but this has been a wonky preseason, so, who knows. UPDATE: Now with a few videos where the HGs answered questioned and posed for the camera, I've added some new impressions for HGs that ...

We're a month into the latest Big Brother Season. Season 19. And let me tell you, this season has been a wild ride. We had a night one eviction, we had the first ever walk out, we had a serious injury-- and, we have a clear “good” and “evil.” Big Brother works best when there is an 'underdog' and a 'villain.' This isn't something we always get. While I did like this cast with my initial impressions, I didn't exactly see an underdog figure. I was unsure how it would go. The Producers had a few strings up their sleeves, though. We didn't have 16 newbies... we had 16 newbies and a VET (A previous player who is returning.) This did in fact leak before the season started. Most of us hoped it wasn't true. Paul, the 'Vet' of #bb19  As I said, this season, we have a 'good' and we have an 'evil.' Who's who? It might not be who you think. The Vet, as I refer to him, is the villain. Last season, ...

In 2013, America sat on their couches and tuned to CBS and watched BIG BROTHER 15. BB15 went down in history for all the wrong reasons. Several of the house guests proved to be racist, sexist, misogynistic... and while I am reluctant to label people as such, there was a select group of house guests that made nasty comments consistently. For story purposes though, the house guest that got the front of the blame was Aryan Gries, a twenty-two year old from Texas. Aaryn, in her headshot for the show. She was evicted and greeted with boos and when host Julie Chen interviewed her, the girl was blindsided with a bulk of her comments she had made read back to her. “I don't remember saying those things,” she said. And now, in 2016, we're witnessing the first online-only Big Brother, dubbed OTT for “Over the Top.” In only its third week, controversy has spread like wildfire online, because, well... Monte Massongill is 25 and from Mississippi. Monte...

Hello, readers. Well, here we are, almost Week 4. We've had two evictions, about to have another. My, what a ride this has been. We lost Jace, which was a real loss. Even if you didn't like him, he brought a lot of excitement to the house. After Jace, we lost Day. (Da'vonne.) You talk about tragedy. This girl was the epitome of fantastic entertainment, but a horrible game player. She even won a magic power that was supposed to help her, but it didn't, because Producers still don't know what the hell they're doing. (When it comes to Twists.) Yeah, let's give a power to void three votes when the House is working as a majority. ( Shakes Head.) This week, we saw Vanessa become HOH. She loves to talk a mile a minute, exhausting whomever is within ear shot. I foresee a segment on the CBS show of Vanessa droning on and on as someone listens to her, accompanied by “The Silly Circus Music.” I have seen a slight improvemen...

Hello there. I'm BigBro411 and welcome to the first official entry to “Big Brother Thoughts”, a blog where I'll be sharing my opinions on the current season. I have a personal blog and I had written about BB there occasionally. I felt it best not to annoy readers that were not Big Brother fans, so I felt I'd make the move to here. A little about me. I've been watching Big Brother faithfully since Season 8. I had seen bits and pieces of Big Brother 1 and 2, but I was still young that I didn't really grasp it. I am a feed watcher, and I do post screencaps and some videos (shh) various places. I aspire to write for television. So, blogging about television just feels right. Okay. So, let's get to it. The House Guests were unveiled on June 16th. We watched in awe as Big Jeff interviewed (to the best of his ability) and we met each HG for about 6 minutes each. Throughout the next few days, more interviews popped up, giving us the ever sma...
