Fuck yeah Connecticut.

Like...is Todrick TRYING to be the most hated Big Brother contestant of all time?

And Shanna isn't playing. -_-

I saw the players in place and immediately burst out laughing. Way to completely drain ANY enjoyment the fanbase might've had for the back half of the episode, producers.

I'm reminded of how fucking excited I was in BB20, when Fessy won HoH on the back of the B.S. Rockstar elimination (the hacker twist was shitty across the board), only for feeds to reveal that he was going to target SCOTTIE instead of Level 6.

It doesn't help that BB seems completely averse to casting even a single minority beyond the bare minimum 50%. Gotta maximize the white people they cast.

I'll be in.

I wish they'd gotten rid of Todd. He's such a waste of space. I wish they'd've replicated CBB1 and just gotten rid of a completely superfluous cast member week 1.

I got to 6 stars before getting the Bear which was kind of funny

I just got to 6 stars and I haven't even seen the Kleavor yet >_>

Honestly, when I saw everyone's introduction, I fully expected Mirai to be the first boot. She seems very quiet and doesn't fit the mold of the typical personality you'd have on a show like Big Brother. I can't really imagine anyone going to bat for her early on.

God it sucks that the first time Ryan & Dusty fuck up, it's totally fine because 75% of the leg is extremely physical (and Penn is probably the only person left who can match their potential physicality).

I'm assuming that they're thinking "we'll fix our bridge infrastructure so they can support heavier weight limits", but I could easily be wrong, and it's very unclear regardless.

Pretty much. Aside from Arun & Natalia not having to do a Speed Bump.

Apparently both they and Michael/Moe had a speed bump to complete, but it just wasn't aired.

So, if we consider last leg a NEL, then the universe has balanced out in a way, hasn't it?

So, allegedly...

Connie & Sam (Pregnant), Caro & Ray (Break-Up), Taylor & Isaiah (COVID-related), and Anthony & Spencer (Unknown) are the four that are gone. They're allegedly being replaced by Michael & Moe and Arun & Natalia.

Allegedly, there are actually FOUR teams that couldn't return. But I can't be sure just yet.

Loving the adventures of stick shift and self-driving. Always good for fun television.

Okay, finally got to watch TAR. Loved the new way they handled the fake Pit Stop - have they ever done it like that before? Usually the first team gets the clue and then "TO BE CONTINUED..." happens.

Early favorites are Raquel & Cayla. Not sure who else yet.

I thought he was a WR from the clip they showed.

They've done it like that before, in at least one more recent season.

I believe this is the first time ever there has been a NEL on Leg 2.

That's correct. And thank goodness for it, because that would've sucked to have a super-linear leg with no real chance for LaLiLuLeLo to catch up after checking in leg one an hour behind.

That mail roadblock might just have produced one of the funniest moments on the show in years.

I mean they were barely shown

Exactly.

Good elimination.

With the season over, here is what I think my season ranking would be overall:

The cream of the crop:
1. Kaoh Rong
2. Vanuatu
3. Pearl Islands
4. San Juan Del Sur
5. China
6. Philippines

Very good seasons with a few minor flaws:
7. Marquesas
8. Borneo
9. Heroes vs. Villains
10. Nicaragua
11. Guatemala
12. Gabon

Largely solid seasons, but with some major flaws that prevent them from being better:
13. David vs. Goliath
14. Cagayan
15. Exile Island
16. Fiji
17. Amazon
18. Dawn of a New Era
19. Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers
20. Micronesia
21. Palau

Has some distinctly negative aspects, but has enough fun and enjoyable content to not hate outright:
22. Game Changers
23. Winners at War
24. Blood vs. Water
25. Edge of Extinction
26. Samoa
27. South Pacific

Mostly bland and forgettable:
28. Tocantins
29. Africa
30. One World
31. Australia
32. Ghost Island

Extremely, extremely negative and unpleasant, but at least KINDA interesting in that negativity:
33. Thailand
34. Worlds Apart
35. Island of the Idols

Aggressively boring and soulless, and revolving around a twist that honestly makes the season worse through its existence:
36. Millennials vs. Gen X
37. Cook Islands
38. Caramoan
39. Cambodia
40. All-Stars
41. Redemption Island
