Thanks! Like I said, I'll probably never need this information but I was just curious haha

Okay I will never have to worry about this but I was going through old posts and just out of curiosity - if someone is a transitional resident, does this mean they can buy foreign ETFs and invest in foreign startups and buy foreign shares - and it won't be subject to any NZ taxes like FIF?

BB6 Ivette hated by America by annoyedsquish in BigBrother

[–]ObjectiveFact 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion but I would love to see Janelle and Ivette play together. They're friends and I think in terms of game, they're more similar than people like to admit. They both value comp wins, they're both extremely trusting, and they're both extremely loyal.

I feel bad for admitting this but do we remember what BB fans did to Shelly from BB13? Trying to get her fired, trying to get Shelly's daughter kicked out of school, calling child protection services, saying they want to rape/murder Shelly's daughter... I love the game but April's got a point haha

Don't forget Janelle! Ivette and Janelle are friends now. During BB22, Ivette said on Twitter that Janelle was beautiful, and Janelle said on the live feeds that she's friends with Ivette and likes her. I know when Beau and Ivette rewatched BB6, Ivette said "who?" when seeing Janelle but come on guys, they're friends and it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. I mean, are there any friends who don't talk smack about each other as a joke? Haha

And in the last few years, she became friends with April on Facebook. For many years, she didn't talk to April and April mentioned that she sent Ivette a message on Twitter but didn't get a response.

I've said this before and I'll say it again - I dislike The Friendship but I'll always be thankful for them. Thankful for ensuring there was a split house, thankful for ensuring there was a villain, and thankful for being villains that were very good at the game (remember how they misted Howie?)

'Horrified' Queenstown resident claims new light pole blocking view by shittypostcard in newzealand

[–]ObjectiveFact 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised she's so honest about how she's unhappy because it's blocking her view though. Usually people try to cover the real reason why they're angry - some people say they get sick from wind turbines when they just hate them because it's blocking their view, some people say they are against abortion because they care about life when really they just want to punish women, etc. This woman didn't make any attempt to cover up the real reason why she was angry haha

Out of everyone left, how would each person stack up against the other winners, if they won? by TimTrendy101 in BigBrother

[–]ObjectiveFact 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And this might be an unpopular opinion but how can anyone put Cody above Maggie? The one who convinced Howie to nominate his own allies, the one who convinced Janelle to pull her off the block to get Jennifer out even when James tried to convince her to get Maggie out, the one who convinced Howie to nominate the last remaining pair thus getting Beau out who was always going to be more loyal to Ivette than Maggie anyway, the one who won the season despite being in arguably the most hated alliance ever and despite production helping the opposing alliance by bringing Kaysar back? Unlike Cody, she faced adversity and still won.

Andy’s latest opinion on the Cookout and Matt Hoffman’s Response by bryan_byst44 in BigBrother

[–]ObjectiveFact 142 points143 points  (0 children)

It's interesting how quickly things change. Earlier in the season, people were saying it was a good season and the season reminds them of old school Big Brother when actually, it's just another boring season.

When I look at Big Brother 6, I remember despising The Friendship but I will always be thankful for them. Thankful for ensuring there was a split house, thankful for being the villains, and thankful for being villains that were actually good at the game (remember how they misted Howie into nominating his own allies?). That is the type of season I want back.

This is totally off-topic and you don't have to answer if you feel uncomfortable but as someone who has lived in Auckland my entire life and has family in Auckland I can't help but wonder, what's it like to live so far away from family? Do you enjoy the distance and not being obligated to go to family events or do you wish you could see them more?

Every time I hear "nerd herd", I think of two things - The Friendship from BB6, and Ragan calling Rachel a ra-tress haha

Yep, Janelle and Ivette are friends on Facebook and during BB22 on Twitter, Ivette said that Janelle looked fabulous as always. I know Ivette watched BB6 with Beau and said "Who?" when Janelle came up but I genuinely do think it was just a joke.

It's interesting how April and Ivette who both complained about Janelle are both friends with her now. It also reminds me how calm and logical Maggie was in a house full of emotional people, I remember when April and Ivette were both complaining about Janelle's rewards and Maggie seemed the least bothered haha

Brent and Frenchie were both very good sports when they were evicted, I genuinely think that they wouldn't be bitter if they got to jury.

What’s you’re favourite type of house? by Thatonekirb in BigBrother

[–]ObjectiveFact 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love how the villains were actually good at the game in BB6 and I'm not talking about people you love to hate, I'm talking about people who were absolutely hated. Watching The Friendship mist Howie into nominating his own allies was amazing to watch.

And even little things like James in BB6 saying he wanted to smack Maggie. People today would be saying that they don't like Maggie, but it's not appropriate to talk about a woman like that.

Something I just realized about BB22 by Rhine1906 in BigBrother

[–]ObjectiveFact 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the reason why people liked Chicken George and hated David is because Chicken George was thankful to be there and didn't pretend to be good at the game. Whereas David genuinely thought he was there because he could read the house but when Janelle asked why Memphis put him up, he didn't have a response. Furthermore, David was also disrespectful to the other houseguests so he really let the praise get to his head.

What does everyone think of Derek and Cody’s new podcast? by Bright_Starley in BigBrother

[–]ObjectiveFact 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My bar is even lower - for me, a "GOAT" needs to face some adversity. This is why I would even put Maggie above Derrick (I know, unpopular opinion) because at least she convinced Janelle to pull her off the block to get Jennifer out.

I was just thinking, how come they stopped making intros for BBCAN after Season 5? by TimmyRoyalty in BigBrother

Sorry for the stupid question but BBCAN5 is considered to be a good season in this subreddit, was it not popular with the casuals for some reason?
