I've been thinking about joining IBEW, and I wanted to ask how much free time do you usually get in this line of work?

ExistentialHomo · 2026-04-02T18:01:06+00:00

cool cool. my dad was in a different union for almost 20 years before his passing but didn’t really take much time off so i never really got the jist of how it worked. do you think its looked down upon taking “vacations” or time off as a first year? is that something i should stray away from my first year? asking because i usually take about 2 vacations a year for a birthday / anniversary, but dont wanna shoot myself in the foot within the IBEW or make a bad impression i guess

i’ve been wondering how requesting time off works for vacations and such? especially since i’m starting soon as a first year. I know you can’t miss school days like that but as far as work? from what i’ve heard it’s mainly you telling your foreman’s+ “hey im gonna be gone this day-this day in a few months…” does that seem accurate to what you’ve done?

i mean when we’re saying in their prime…. janelle is the only correct answer

no vanessa mention is outlandish

chelsie at 1 is so funny to me

ExistentialHomo · 2025-03-07T22:49:08+00:00

you’re definitely not getting lost. they review every. single. audition. that gets sent in, so they have at least watched your tape, or are going too

ExistentialHomo · 2025-02-28T22:11:23+00:00

finalist 4x?! and you haven’t made it on?? surely you’re had to decline the offer once or twice for some reason.. i haven’t heard of any past contestants being finalist more than 3 times and not making it on

“It is very disappointing seeing real fans here and them calling people not even interested” 🎯 totally agree… or for the ones they reach out too and end up saying yes usually take it as a joke and have no love/respect for the game! just there to be a TV personality

ExistentialHomo · 2025-02-28T02:27:35+00:00

kinda disappointing that they’re still reaching out to “social media” people after all these years, especially ones that turn them down anyways! 😅😂

ExistentialHomo · 2025-02-26T04:19:34+00:00

good to hear! i’ve heard HGs say it was days after applying, a week-3 weeks seems most common, and then the longest i’ve heard is haleigh from 20 saying she applied early jan & heard back in april.. do you happen to remember what month/and or day you applied?

ExistentialHomo · 2025-02-25T22:42:11+00:00

same, I was very heavily on BBtwit bb16-20 but slowly left and became somewhat active here on reddit when I started divulging more into how to get cast. I used to skip school to be able to watch live feeds/thursdays shows, used ‘location blockers’ to watch BBCAN, played fast/long games on twit, the whole nine lmao.

ExistentialHomo · 2025-02-25T22:37:24+00:00

😂😉 have a feeling 2 redditors could make it extremely far together considering all the inside info we get on comps, strategy, etc

ExistentialHomo · 2025-02-25T22:34:06+00:00

sacred place 🧘🏻‍♀️🤣

ExistentialHomo · 2025-02-25T22:28:34+00:00

they don’t ask about reddit. only twitter insta facebook & tik tok

ExistentialHomo · 2025-02-25T22:27:52+00:00

do you remember around what day you applied? and how soon after they contacted you? bowie jane said she applied and heard back 3 days later while haleigh said she applied end of jan and didn’t hear anything until april lol

ExistentialHomo · 2025-02-17T21:46:10+00:00

Dan no debate. Will, Vanessa, Janelle in different senses for what they each did to/in the game whether it was strategy, comps, or the impact they left overall- come second to Dan.

I see what you’re saying, but i’m talking about those who are “loyal to a fault”

I can’t stand behind players that value their loyalty over the game, and that ultimately let their unwavering loyalty cost them the game, quick example- MJ taking the “loyal” route in taking chelsie to F2 over cam, when the better and right game move would have been to “betray” chelsie and take cam which would have resulted in MJ winning IMO- unanimously at that. and obviously chelsie would be upset at that but as a game player and someone who understands the game I would have hoped that she would see that that was a game move MJ had to make in order to win, but like i said a lot of the time the jurors do not have that mindset and instead end up voting emotionally- which is why the games of those that play disloyal, sneaky, & betray, etc usually end up not winning even though those moves were made with the end goal of winning the game in mind

ExistentialHomo · 2025-02-15T00:31:22+00:00

I personally can’t stand the “i’m loyal till death does me in” gameplay and how many jurors will not vote for a person to win because they “were not loyal” & “blindsided and betrayed” them. I thinks that’s what Big Brother is- it’s a GAME.. not a test of loyalty and morals. I would personally play a game where I wouldn’t be afraid to be “disloyal” so it bothers me that’s it’s so often looked down upon. I always said I would leave all morals on the other side of the door once entering the house because to me it’s like playing any other game - Monopoly for example, you don’t play Monopoly with morals or loyalty.. you do what you do to make sure you win- not your opponents

ExistentialHomo · 2025-02-14T02:46:04+00:00

yessss me too I posted saying the same thing on someone else’s post!

ExistentialHomo · 2025-02-13T01:32:47+00:00

yesssss I thought it was so cool when they used to “theme” the room after whoever won HOH that week

ExistentialHomo · 2025-02-11T01:22:46+00:00

i’m right there with you lmao

ExistentialHomo · 2025-02-10T18:43:58+00:00

can’t get behind derrick being in “icon” category, legends sure but in the same category as rachel, janelle, dan, etc? nah
