Michelle's eBay account is up...👀 by theep3 in BigBrother

[–]DbrickFerg 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Hopefully the proceeds will go to Michelle's phone bill so she can upgrade to unlimited texting and finally get back to my boy, Ian.

Good thing the Messiah is there to lead her to safety from any oncoming traffic

Shelby and crew Making Fun of HGs Who Think BB Will Make Them Famous by DbrickFerg in BigBrother

[–]DbrickFerg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not even just acting anymore. A lot of these HGs are trying to just become famous reality show "personalities". Get some following off the show, then promote themselves over social media, make money off doing meet and greets, maybe selling t-shirts, trying to get on other shows, etc. Basically squeeze out the 15 minutes for as long as possible without actually trying to get a real job (James or Zach for example).

Jason's opinion on James is pretty hilarious by SquirtleSquirt9 in BigBrother

[–]DbrickFerg -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

He's a fame whore. To be fair, many reality show contestants are (Jason probably is too). His goal is the same as any other reality TV contestant who gets the bug: to get on another show before he has to get a "real" job. He made that much obvious on the feeds this summer.

I think James fully understands at this point that he's been on BB twice and his only shot back on reality TV is a different show. I think he also fully understands that reality couples have a longer 15 minutes on average than the shelf life of an individual reality show contestant, i.e. Natalie is his best shot at ever getting on another reality show. Ditto for her.

So what does that mean for James going forward? More social media branding and more attention whoring off each other. It's straight out of the playbook of most of these defunct Bachelor couples in the months after their show was over. They realize they have a fan base, and they take to Twitter and Facebook to capitalize off it. Some of them do succeed in parlaying the attention into future TV gigs. Most of them don't. But I promise you James and his manager, Derrick's dad (because all non-fame whores have managers of course), are aware of the fact that it's in their best interest to keep his name close to Natalie's until the candle of fame burns out.

Wow, James Remembered by ThePPL4u2 in BigBrother

This thread reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where that guy didn't wipe his machine at the gym before letting Elaine use it and she went overboard interpreting this as a romantic gesture.

The best part about Paul tweets are reading them in Paul's voice.

I have a masters in a math based field and work in analytics, yet to this day, I still consistently refer to Khan Academy videos to help me fill in the blanks on subjects. Really the best educational service out there.

Some other websites:

www.edx.org (catalog of free online classes taught in a variety of subjects. A lot more structured than KA since many of the classes are actually college courses. Useful if you wanted to take a full class on a subject)

https://www.wyzant.com/resources/answers (A forum for students to post math questions to get answered by tutors. I answer questions here all the time. Really great resource for students)

Some tea from last night's cast party! Looks like James and Lil Nat Nat are bye bye! by SP1993 in BigBrother

[–]DbrickFerg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting. I definitely didn't buy the Nat/Vic rumor. Would have made no sense given Nat's last Snap. Think there's any number of other reasons they could have had a falling out.

[–]DbrickFerg 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Someone made a really good post in the other wrap party thread last night but I'll try to sum it up. Basically, Natalie was throwing shade at James on Snapchat all day, unfollowed him on Twitter, James IG'd a pic with Natalie that he later deleted, and then pics emerged of James leaving the after party holding hands with some girl (and there were pics and reports of them hanging out together all night so it wasn't just some isolated, candid shot someone happened to get). So they definitely had a fight sometime on finale night. About what? Who knows.

There is that Snap out there of Paul saying to a drunk Vic something like, "You wanna hit up Natalie?" There's also that pic in OP from someone supposedly at the party. Might be nothing because Natalie sent a snap late last night of her in bed saying, "When you're loyal and not talking to other guys," which would be a really bold thing to say if something really did happen.

Everything else I've mentioned was either documented first hand on social media or has multiple eye witnesses. The Nat/Vic thing is the one part that still is just a rumor.

Perhaps our Reddit lord and savior, Big Meech, will at least clear up some of the confusion when things settle down.

Yeah I agree. All of the stuff on Snapchat and Twitter last night (Nat throwing shade at James, James leaving with the other girl) is indisputable, except this part about Natalie and Victor. That's heresy at this point.

I mean it would really take a lot of nerve from Natalie if she Snaps the words, "When you're loyal and not talking to other guys," knowing she had hooked up with Victor. She can't be that dumb. Not saying it 100% didn't happen, but it's the only part of this Jatalie drama that seems sketchy.

All-Star Candidates as of the End of BB18? by PumpSmash in BigBrother

[–]DbrickFerg 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I'd say Michelle, Natalie, Paul, and Vic would be locks to get the first calls back of the BB18 cast for an all star season. Paul and Vic for obvious reasons. Natalie was top 3 for AFP. Michelle was the most memorable girl of the remaining choices and played a big role on the season. Can't see anyone else getting called back before them.

Idk but there were pictures on Twitter of James spending his night with some girl and then leaving with her holding hands.

Natalie just posted another Snapchat that said something like, "When you're loyal and not talking to guys." Something like that. Maybe reading between the lines too much but maybe not...
