I love TAR as well. BB I watch, but it just makes me hate it every time I do. The game itself intrigues me, but the cast and production just make me cringe and hate myself while I watch it.

I'm Canadian as well, so I like the BBCan seasons much more. They seem slightly less cheesy, but my god the sponsors this year were too much. And yeah, Paras winning super sucked. Bae-la deserved it, but as post interviews would tell you Johnny pretty much torched her chances of winning to satisfy his own narrative of "murder Daela." Good for you Johnny, now you can say you won. Dick. Celeb BB was good though, cause people were actively playing (if we ignore the two quitters).

I feel juries on both Survivor and BB have been getting progressively more butthurt as time goes on. It's frustrating.

...I'm also deep into Bachelor nation. I know how bad it is, but if you acknowledge how cheesy it is you can enjoy it like you would a Kevin Hart movie.

We're planning on doing a mini quest of both the Survivor and Bachelor video game soon. Stoked.

Why do you feel like you can't watch BB but can watch Bachelor? I'm totally the opposite and kinda feel justified in that, hey, at least BB is a game. Bachelor I can't handle for the life of me. Or really any reality TV outside of the CBS trifecta formula. It just feels like a waste of time.

BBCan has always had a boatload of sponsors going back to S1, it's partially why I have trouble watching the episodes live. It's a little too much, even though I know it's necessary for the show to exist.

I also pretty much don't care about butthurt juries like a lot of fans. Juries can be as salty as they want -- I hold the houseguests still in the game accountable for their actions. Managing a jury is a huge aspect of the game and the best players will curry their favor, while the lesser players will lose it. It's a strange game design but yeah, I'm all for Kaela losing if that's what the jury, or even just Johnny in this case, desire. There's always a reason for what happens (except for maybe Greg Buis) and Kaela wasn't good enough to get Johnny on her side to the end. Kinda like how I was wild at Dan losing to Ian butttttt I got why it happened, he got why it happened, and the jury was completely fair to vote the way they did. Dan knew way ahead of time it was gonna happen which is why he tried his best to bring Boogie, Janelle, or Britney to the end. He read the room long in advance (unlike most losing finalists) and tried his best to secure the win given the climate of the house instead of expecting the win based on his trajectory in reaching for it.

Essentially, you blame the jury, you're missing the point. And I'll likely never be convinced a 'bitter' jury is a bad thing. It's really just a thing for good players to recognize and control, lucky players to benefit from and sometimes fall backwards into, and not so good players to lose to and oftentimes get upset by.
