Board 8 > Survivor/BB/TAR Summer Topic 1 - A Reality Clash

(+) Yeah! (+)

oooh not in an alliance
---

I would have gone into the tiebreaker but lost in that challenge.
---

So help me God if Scottie decides to join the alliance that has voted the majority two weeks in a row to further eliminate people who might work with him.
---

I hope god helps you
---

Best case scenario, one of Angela/Brett/Winston goes this week.

I doubt it though.
---

Scottie with major shade
---

Woot Scottie!
---

i love these people

this is what reality television is all about
---

How can you possibly like Level 6, even a little?
---

Theyre more fun on the live feeds. Thats how.
---

well the winner of the game is gonna come from level 6 and i like winners
---

That said I like most of this cast. The only ones Im not caring for are Angela and Faysal. But at least Fessie is kinda... slow... at times. Theres some comedy there. Angela is a bump on a log.

Everyone else is bringing something and Im good with it.

winston reminds me of matt
---

Winston is SO antsy and over the top with his strategy. Matt bored me, Winston is a mile a minute and I'm usually amused.

Mind you I'm not rooting for him, but I do root for his continued hysteria.
---

Live feed spoilers for Scottie's targets: His first game talk just happened (with Tyler) and he's looking to target Level 6.
---

you little punk!

The paranoia is real with Winston, its amazing when he puts the tinfoil hat on.

Rachel doing all that math and being so so off was hilarious.

-Ami of all people was probably the best person of the season at the end of the day, and that's really saying a lot.

Is it? Ami is one of the best Survivor characters ever, her Micro performance is always overlooked but she's still amazing there. It was always going to be hard/impossible to top her Vanuatu incarnation.

I don't even follow this logic. If they are entertaining on the live feed that's one thing (I doubt Brett or Angela could ever be entertaining in the slightest though), but you just indiscriminately enjoy winners/probable winners?

I HATE Ami in Vanuatu. But by really saying a lot I mean she was out relatively early in Micro and wasn't exactly major character during her stay either. Yet she managed to maintain the highest balance of interesting/not-detestable for me.

Brett is funny, though at times he's also douchey. He means well though, and if you don't take him too seriously you'll realize it's all in good fun.

Last night he walked into a room and goes up to Haleigh and says "I don't care what they're saying about you out there, I still think you're cool and we can be friends." Except nobody was saying anything, and right after she realized he was joking he had a big grin on his face. His lighthearted nature is appreciated.

He and Winston were working out last night in the living room (backyard was closed) and they had such a camaraderie about them. They get immature - so much that they accidentally broke part of the front door while working out - but it's all so silly it just comes back to them being Beavis & Butthead.

I know you hate bro's but give them a chance!
---

I don't hate bros automatically or all the time, but I'll admit they are the hardest character type to make interesting to me.

Mark was one of my favorites last year despite being a "bro" but he was a sympathetic underdog against a really unlikable majority. It's tough, but not impossible.

They didnt break the door working out. Brett slammed hand into the door trying to scare Rachel and ended up breaking the door, but ya it was immature stuff. Sam seemed pretty pissed about though which was pretty funny.
---

Yeah, I was watching the HoH feed when it happened. Sam was basically like "People worked hard to put that door there! How dare they!!'
---

I take Mark head and shoulders over Brett and Winston. (And he probably is literally too)
---

I'm not cheering for the bros, but they really aren't that bad and are pretty entertaining on the feeds. I actually find most of this cast entertaining in one form or another save for Angela and KC who add absolutely nothing to the house.

The logic is there. Some people like to win.

I mean i dont agree with it (goddamn it ben and wendell) but the logic is there
---

Also thats future bb winner kc youre speaking about!

Spoilers for the day

Noms: ______Brett and Winston______
Power App winner: Bayleigh. She picked identity theft and it seems super OP. According to her, she can basically usurp the HoH and make her own nominations during the nom ceremony, and it's good until the final 8. HoH still gets veto re-nom that week though. IIRC production usually doesn't let them lie about what their powers are, so it's probably true.
---

more importantly who won the crap app

__Haleigh__
---

Man, fuck Kaitlyn. She's a great example of a bad trainwreck, not a fun one.
---

Lol "JC is a Yutus"
---

Man America sucks at this game
---

Well at least I'm cool with Bay getting the power app.
---

what the hell is that power, that's way too much
---

It's broken, but if someone is gonna get such a broken power at least it isn't anybody from Level 6 or Kaitlyn.
---

YES thank God. Now if one of them wins veto please nominate Angela.
---

i'm not a big fan of Winston so hopefully he goes instead of Brett. or maybe Tyler if the veto is used, though i doubt that's possible. those are really the only two people on that side i don't like.

I'm having lots of fun with her
---

Kaitlyn is a dreamwreck
---

She went off tonight on the live feeds.

She's a lot to handle. Suuuuper high maintenance.
---

Rockstar is super not fun to watch on the live feeds. The more I watch her the less I like her. She provides discussion, but it's a fountain of negativity and judgment. All the time. She also thinks she knows the game super well when she's been in the dark all season.
---

God, I can just barely take it. Listening to Scottie and Rockstar in the HoH room whine and whine and whine and WHINE. They think Sam is Christmas's relative and that's why she likely has a power out of the gate.

"It's just unfair!"
"The integrity of the game is compromised."
"What's the point in even trying if it's heavily slanted one way?"

It's this attitude of what's deserved. An entitlement. All circling around an incorrect speculation. On and on. They also think so many others don't deserve the money, they don't NEED the money.

Scottie: "I'll only have $100 before my stipend once I leave this house."
Scottie: "Winston is only 2 years older than me yet he doesn't seem to be troubled with money."

They think he's a doctor, mind you (which he isn't). "Brett doesn't need the money." "Angela doesn't need the money." "Tyler spent 6 months living in Australia, plus he was recruited to be on the show!" (He wasn't, but they'll never know that). Clearly Tyler doesn't need the money.

I just can't with these two. Such bad character.
---

I feel the same way.

It was really weird to me seeing this topic rally around the foutte group and hate the level 6 so much.... one of these groups is a bunch of petty weirdos with a jealous psychopath and one is just a group of chill friends with a hysterical psychopath

and the hysterical psychopath is so much fun to watch
---

People do that shit all the time, I think its dumb too but whatever. Sam did essentially the same thing when she broke down everyone's socioeconomic status last night and went through who would be deserving of the money.

How are Fessy, Haleigh, and Bayleigh weirdos?

I don't blame people who don't watch the feeds though. When it comes to BB, you're either in the know by watching the live feeds, or you're at the mercy of the editors. There's a pretty big divide in knowledge base with BB, unlike Survivor where we're all on the same page.

It's tough to argue with live feed watchers when you know they know more. I experienced this with BBCAN6, where I didn't watch the feeds at all, and only caught up with the show in the final week. I had a very casual opinion on the house and the season, but when I listened in on those who spent countless hours watching feeds, I could tell the episodes painted different pictures.

I'm amused that the JokersUpdates ratings are so heavily one-sided, too. I don't always agree with the site - and I still don't entirely this year - but I at least understand where they're coming from.
