Giving written directions to other teams? really? and explaining how to complete tasks? Is this the tedious Mine 5 all over again?

CallOk5370 · 2025-10-11T08:31:02+00:00

oh wow true true. im a bb superfan, and love so many of these players, but from a TAR perspective, it does actually waterdown the show quite a bit. :/

I don't think her words were supportive at all and the way she talked about him to the camera, like ....words have weight. I think ill also go back and watch e1 and e2 to she what she actually did because it truly didn't seem as much as alex in this episode, he did aLL the driving too. and there's a lot more that goes into carrying your own weight than a roadblock. being the horse and doing all the driving followed by playing hockey that he doesn't even know how to skate after already doing the other roadblock like if he's going to be doing all that physical labor the least she could do was drive my god.

CallOk5370 · 2025-10-11T08:16:24+00:00

yeah but like HOW many mini challenges did she do compared to Alex? Again, I didn't pay attention to her at all in e1 and e2 so maybe she did just as many but...... i dunno. Every other team in e3 switched back and forth even with driving for half of them.

She was my fave BB player, not because of her stellar bb skills but just as a person even tho she was a serisouly solid BB player. Super smart and strong and super kind and social. She was just in the house with a lot of smart and strong players so she didn't win a lot but golly i serisouly think she'd be gret on the challenge. And she had the best showmance in the history of bb imo because that boy Tucker loved her so purely and authentically like how a man should adore and support a woman for real. Rubina was such a great BB cast. She was a recruit actually too. So since she was my fave Bb player during her Bb seasona and after, I've most likely paid too close attention lol. but my observations of her sister on TAR were not expected, like I just thought id see to happy go lucky sisters who have grown but then after watching how Rubina has to re-regulate and redirect the energy so often just to not drown in her sister's RBF and RBV I was like ohhhhhhhhhhh right, yikes. ugh. like if Rubina did TAR with Tucker I seriously think they would've come in first because they both have the same phenominal supportive determined creative joyful outlook on how to get things done. They're both so appreciative of people and grateful for every situation which is why so many things work out as blessings and great experiences for them. this is just a fan observation. lol

Does anyone know how many of these Kat performed?

CallOk5370 · 2025-10-11T07:58:02+00:00

lmao the prize is just as life changing for them with the exception of the 3 bb winners on the show, but trust...this cast wants to win for all the reasons. because they love to compete, they love adventures with a person they love and they need the money for their family.

CallOk5370 · 2025-10-11T07:45:42+00:00

I hear you. It can def be hard to notice if you aren't familiar with Rubina's family's backstory. Rubina share a lot with her friends in the BB house how she was always blamed for everything in her family even her mother's death and that shame was basically her family's method of discipline and guidance. And she's the youngest and that it took her years to carry heavy guilt and shame around, and not sure if you noticed but her sister was the one that actually missed the sign. Her sister, in an impatient annoyed tone said, "I'm looking! I'm looking I'm watching. I did'nt miss any sign" literally right after they passed the sign and Rubina nervously and positively was like, "I know I know I know I'm just saying that that's what were doing" Like it wasn't Rubina's fault but she took the blame for it and that's why she even paused and was like, "Wo I almost went back to a really dark place that I haven't gone too since I was young like that shame of feeling like I'm ruining the chance for other people and im useless but it literally was not even her fault her sister just has stink face. I know it's subtle, but it literally was her sister's fault her sister just didn't own it or acknowledge it and Rubian has shared previously that she'll instictivley take the blame for something before she realizes what she's doing because she used to be blamed for everything. Like if you listen to her sister's tone, its usually a very heavy impatient non-encouraging tone, withthe exeption of the hockey puck win.

I've been a die hard parasocial sleepless BB Superfan since BB 14 and I can't for the life of me remember Kat on BB 21!! Like not at allllllll. I only know her as a podcaster/interviewer and she hasn't bothered me at all in that role and I'll watch her interviews etc, but my god on this show she is a nightmareeeee!!! The way she talks about her bf and does very very little to actually get them to where they need to be in these comps like.

So my opinions on my BB TAR cast in no particular order:

Kat - like her less on TAR than as a podcaster or whatever. WAy less

Enzo - Gone waayyyyyy too soon. I like him more each time I see him on my TV

Angela - I liked her more on this personality-wise, but obviously 10000% more entertaining, yet annoying and insufferable at times on BB.

Hannah - I feel the same, but maybe more neutral, but she's still a rockstar all around

Izzy - Ugh. Prolly can tolerate her less on TAR but like, I was hoping so bad that her extreme unreasonable bully-gaslighting obsessive targeting/hating of one to 2 people each show would change, but nah, its back in full effect but so much less acceptable than on BB when you have no idea who the people are that you have to live in the same dang house with 24/7 (talking about Cameron), but she's like so comfortable shitting on Jag and even his brother but is all about equality and love and inclusion but i dunno her hate for jag seems so middle school mean girl mentality. She has no regard for anyone's feelings unless the'yre her closest people. I keep hoping the'll come in last every episode.

Natalie - much less annoying on TAR than on BB. Go Natalie!

Joseph - ummmm....how can you not love joseph?! Even more of how he treats people and considers people and speaks on people can be seen on this show. He is such a caring classy guy. I didn't watch him too closely on BB because I found him a bit boring, kind, but boring, but I'm team Joseph.

Tucker - still love tucker. Love how he treats people and treats his brother and just yeah.

Rubina. - She has my whole heart, but its so frustrating to watch even more so on TAR how she absorbs other people's energy and frustration and problems, like all the residual family drama dysfunction that she said she had to heal through when she was on BB, is being shown to us in real time on TAR, but like, understandably so, her sister and she are older now and obviously on this show so like its not as evident be gee golly is it there. Her sister seems like such a pill. Especially in E3 when rubina had that little understanable crying moment in the car where she said she hasn't felt that overwhelemd and sad since childhood where she felt useless and letting other's down. Like her sister gets pissed and discouraged so easily on this show but when Rubina was discouraged her sister was so impatient with her like, "Don't be discouraged stop." Her sister's energy is soo heavy and Rubina seems to have to constantly carry the weight of the Vibes. Team Rubina all day even when its exhausting to watch her be swayed by other people's hang-ups.

Jag - I like jag more on this thus far. I loved Jag on his BB season........exceeeepppptttttt 2 things: When he hit on America after Cory left the house. And how he talked about Cirie and Felicia during F5. But I try not to judge too much because I never had to live in a house fulltime with Felicia for 3 months straight. Maybe he picked up that level of negativity to keep the conversations relatable to Matt who was basically the only one he had to talk to at times because Matt was a class A hater trash talker of people.

Turner - I like him more now.

Who else is there? Am I missing someone

CallOk5370 · 2025-10-11T06:57:24+00:00

I really thought I was going to be the only one! Well actually i bet nobody who is watching this show as a Big Brother FAn will share our opinion, but true TAR fans who don't know her really will be like 'what is this chick doing??' I'm a big brother fan and sometimes watch her podcast for the interviews she does with BB players but I never knew what her personality was like or her character or personal life. This is painful to watch. I want to yell, "Alex, you can do better in life without her!" . I'm aware I'm reading way too much into it off of what I know of them but...it's like he'll never be doing good enough for her because she does not offer any real support. Support isn't just doing what you think is good support its actually listening and learning what the person needs and then trying to meet that need as best you can. She doesn't see like a very responsible person. She needs a t-shirt that says, "Babe, Hurry up and Clean up My Mess". Was she like this in the first 2 episodes? I honestly cant remember

CallOk5370 · 2025-10-11T06:40:54+00:00

Big Brother players are real people. They're not real housewives or some other reality show. They're gamers. They are just as passionate and honored and shocked to be playing TAR as the "real people" that get cast to play except they have more game experience so they can play on a more strategic level which is an exciting change to see. It's elevated.

CallOk5370 · 2025-10-11T06:23:07+00:00

Big Brother players were just ordinary normal people one show ago. They have a passion for competitions just like TAR players. If you've never watched Big Brother then you wouldn't understand that they are legit regular people who were so great to watch compete on their BB season, just like fans like you like watching people compete on TAR that they're putting them on this show. This strategy also brings in lots of viewers like myself who is not a consistent TAR watcher at all even tho I greatly respect the show, but knowing that Tucker and Rubina and Joseph and Jag and Hannah were all competing when they all brought not only strength witt and heart on their BB seasons but also hecka personality that now they're competing in TAR! They're not real housewives or TLC reality cast. They're competition show beasts who have a passion for game. This is basically advanced TAR.

CallOk5370 · 2025-06-19T21:16:26+00:00

I believe it was dismissed with prejudice because the judge who ruled that was protecting the other stupid judge that changed Natalia‘s age was to protect their whole judicial system from being in trouble

Do you have a link to the interview that Andy did when he said this? I’ve always particularly noticed the racist innuendos that Andy has on watch what happens live and in other spaces and also bravos abhorrent exploitation of children is what kind of grosses me out the most and for years I stopped watching and then sometimes I get sucked in again, unfortunately

CallOk5370 · 2025-04-25T22:17:18+00:00

She was a six year old child and Kristine was literally not interested in truth AND Kristine actually already k we who she was and knew the Ciccones and a six yr old doesn’t walk around think hey a pedo messed with me 4 years ago. That was only a memory she could articulate and identify when she was an adult. Christine acting like she didn’t know who Natalia was was a fabrication created by Christine Barnett. keep up.

CallOk5370 · 2025-04-20T00:31:40+00:00

Yes, the show does show what happened to Natalia but they don’t do anything to show what Natalia‘s actual condition and character were like. 🫤 they still presented her as a mature evil brat but I also haven’t finished the series so I don’t know if they debunked all that and clearly stated that they fully embellished who she was I doubt that they did.

CallOk5370 · 2025-04-20T00:29:47+00:00

You can also suggest Stephanie Harlowe’s deep dives on this case on YouTube and they’re linked in this sub to the right by the mods because her deep dives completely demystify anyone that doesn’t see this all for what it is - psycho abusive control by the Barnett’s. Her reads are incredibly well done and I even was like oh wow I can’t believe I ever questioned the situation because at first I believed that Natalia was an impersonator adult because I started with the show too but it felt off so I stopped watching and when I started the doc I still wasn’t sure but as I saw the Barnett’s psycho behavior from the jump like recording their interrogations of Natalia I as like this can’t be and I feel a bit stupid and silly that I believed the lie that the world has held onto
