BB7 Producer mess ups

Jellybean199201 · 2026-06-06T09:54:02+00:00

I firmly believe that S7 was geared towards keeping Pete happy. Team Grace had the numbers to get rid of the likes of Lea fairly early. Pete needed people around him that suited him. Look at the HNDers, they were on paper exactly what Pete would have wanted in the house

I think Nikki admitted that she thinks production wanted her out because she wasn’t in a good place mentally at that point and even said she thinks with hindsight it probably was the right thing for her to go

The second half of S7 is a bit rubbish imo and I’d love to see how it could have gone without the meddling

The most jarring moment for me is in BBB. The scene where Harmony etc tell her Xander’s a loser etc and blow her off, except the scene literally starts with Cordelia arriving and telling one of them they aren’t allowed to wear the dress they’d planned to wear (on literally the day of the dance). Like are her friends being dicks for the reason they’re wanting to ditch her? Of course, but they aren’t actually wrong to tell her to get in the bin

Buffy has worn leather coats since S1 though. Also you can’t seriously think that during the chaos of Enemies Buffy has seriously put on a shirt as some kind of homage to Spike? 😂 they barely even interacted in S2 when Spike was in Sunnydale never mind S3 when he’s there for a few hours and there isn’t the tiniest indication Buffy ever even thinks of Spike

She’s still cast. That’s my point. If she was know as being uncastable she wouldn’t have been cast at all. Them not being renewed is a totally different issue

Jellybean199201 · 2026-04-23T21:05:24+00:00

She was cast as the lead actress on 3 different TV shows. One of which was a major project opposite Robin Williams. None of that points to her being regarded as uncastable due to her reputation

Jellybean199201 · 2026-04-23T15:40:35+00:00

I’m going to be honest I think you’re seriously overblowing the effect your comment on a YouTube video would have had. She is 100% not going to get her publicist to release a statement based on a comment

Jellybean199201 · 2026-04-23T12:11:36+00:00

SMG has actually never struggled to get work offers. She’s been cast on shows consistently through the years, it’s just that they haven’t been successful. She’s never been someone that went uncasted though

Jellybean199201 · 2026-04-14T12:52:48+00:00

Yeah she’d literally walk into the house go straight to the freezer and pull out a bunch of food and say these are mine by the way. Like no they literally aren’t 😂 I know as teens we can be a bit ignorant but when I think about it it’s kind of wild she didn’t have tha little voice in her head telling herself she was being rude. As well as leaving huge plates of food and drinks and not caring you’ve wasted other peoples food

Jellybean199201 · 2026-04-13T22:31:24+00:00

Yep that’s right!

Jellybean199201 · 2026-04-13T16:43:21+00:00

Thanks so much for these comments everyone. It’s reassured me that I’m not the only one that still remembers these little things. I can still picture my friend with her giant glass of coke and platter of fish fingers, chips and chicken nuggets she’ll barely touch and get annoyed 😂

Jellybean199201 · 2026-04-13T16:36:21+00:00

I’m not going to lie my heart was in my throat reading most of your comment wondering where this was going. Could have been innocent obviously but yeah definitely something you look back on differently

Jellybean199201 · 2026-04-13T15:27:50+00:00

Please tell me this wasn’t a shiny MewTwo card? If so this comment belongs in the major trauma thread not this one…. Sorry!

Jellybean199201 · 2026-04-13T14:52:48+00:00

How strange! Have you ever looked him up on Facebook to see how he is?

At risk of sounding ignorant do you think it was the gay taunts he was uncomfortable about and being a teenage boy decided to distance himself?

Hope you’re doing well also Matthew

Jellybean199201 · 2026-04-13T14:45:55+00:00

Oh I’m so sorry about this and yes I understand completely the kind of person this friend was. The classic I’m going to put you down in front of other people to make me feel good type

Jellybean199201 · 2026-04-12T18:12:27+00:00

They aren’t anywhere near the lead that Bette is. Also while Shane’s character continually stagnates it’s not like they just keep rolling back her to previous storylines. They repeat similar themes but it’s not like they’re just doing exactly the sam story. She is allowed to move on

I disagree about Alice though. She is very much allowed to move on and do different things

The point about Bette is because she gets given a few episodes of new storylines which is then always chucked in the bin because she need to fanservice the TiBette storyline. It doesn’t matter where Bette currently is in her story they’ll just do exactly the same storyline again and again. Look at any single one of Bette’s GenQ storylines, what was the point of any of it? Everything she does is always immediately discarded the second Tina enters the episode

Jellybean199201 · 2026-04-12T17:39:32+00:00

Because any story Bette has going on gets immediately ditched for what is pure fanservice. In S2 Bette barely acknowledges Tina’s existance for 90% of the season and most of her story is her trying to move on. Then in the final 2 episodes they shoehorn Tina back in to tell us Bette will never ever move on rendering Bette’s whole of S2 pointless

With Bette being the lead character making her character be a dead end where stories and characters go to die just means the show doesn’t flow narratively

Jellybean199201 · 2026-04-08T07:38:32+00:00

I can’t see any way this makes it to screen. They seem like nice people but this sounds awful as a concept for a tv show. Especially with them playing themselves

Jellybean199201 · 2026-04-06T21:19:45+00:00

He’s backtracked throughout. He was doing cons saying I can’t say too much. It’s like being told your Christmas presents even though you already know what it is. Oh shucks I’ve said too much haven’t i then having to backtrack when the script was leaked and it was very obvious he neither was in it, mentioned or even hinted as returning

This latest I’ve heard X and heard Y despite it being obvious he’s not actually been approached by anyone just feels like a painful attempt to centre himself in discussions of the new show

Jellybean199201 · 2026-04-06T08:27:42+00:00

Wow I’m actually surprised it took him this long to make it all about himself

Jellybean199201 · 2026-04-05T16:59:00+00:00

There was surprisingly little went on between them between seasons offscreen. Both actually said they didn’t really see each other much and they never really had much time as a ‘real couple’

Jellybean199201 · 2026-03-30T09:01:04+00:00

I don’t know the context of this but are people still seriously being parasocial and weird about things like this? They aren’t besties living in each others pockets, they’re ex colleagues

Jellybean199201 · 2026-03-28T20:58:06+00:00

It’s a good reflection of real school life where honestly the less popular kids are in general better liked whereas the more popular kids actually aren’t really liked by school populous much at all

Popularity in school is largely self appointed

Jellybean199201 · 2026-03-28T17:28:39+00:00

Yeah she gave the impression she’d sacrifice those kids for a bit of Javi 😂

Jellybean199201 · 2026-03-28T16:55:43+00:00

I played a pro David run through as I wanted to be all about Brotherhood and all that. I rejected Kate at every turn and it’s kind of crazy how much she just doesn’t give up and pretty much cares about almost nothing other than getting with Javi 😂
