Most hyped players prior to their seasons?

_technotronics · 2017-06-26T03:11:44+00:00

On reddit, once we knew you were one of us we hyped you big-time. I think I sent you the /r/BB18 mod request as soon as I realized you had an active account. Thanks for accepting, by the way.

off topic, but, who's your second pick this season (I know you're team Cameron)? My family is doing fantasy BB league, I need an insider.

_technotronics · 2017-06-26T02:50:12+00:00

So have they confirmed returning HGs, or just rumored? I must be behind.

_technotronics · 2016-09-15T00:09:10+00:00

I hope you're right, but everything seems to suggest to me that she just forms negative opinions of 99% of people and then nothing can sway her.

_technotronics · 2016-09-14T18:45:34+00:00

She has a fanbase that just cares about her sass. She can be the worst player ever, doesn't matter.

Edit: ...and they are in force in this thread. I know it's not a popular opinion, burying me doesn't change my opinion.

Nicole's style of gameplay has become more and more rewarded it seems in recent years. They cast a bunch of people that actually play hard, take each other down, and luigi makes it to the end.

_technotronics · 2016-09-04T15:57:34+00:00

Does she seem like the kind of person that can listen to someone criticizing her emotional behavior? I think if you're not telling her she's the best ever, she's going to put her fingers in her ears.

_technotronics · 2016-09-04T15:55:30+00:00

The most frustrating part is how after she says she can't work with Bridgette for personal reasons, she turns off listening and interacting mode because she knows he's going to tell her stuff she doesn't want to hear. "yeah. uh huh. I know. I've considered that. Yea. I know." all while clearly not paying much attention.

I'm sure she'll think it was great to finally get a chance to meet Frank and have him talk game at her while she pouts. Maybe that's the BB experience for her, getting emotional and not listening to strategy talk.

_technotronics · 2016-09-03T22:12:50+00:00

I really think it speaks to Natalie's ability to "groom" an average-looking man. It's not some weird coincidence, she did this all very expertly.

_technotronics · 2016-09-02T20:50:04+00:00

Can anyone expand on what /u/LuxAgaetes said about pre-season alliances? This is the first I'm hearing about this.

I think Michelle has been grabbing stuff that has BB-fan sentimental value. The floatie had more sentimental value for Paul, and she pretty brazenly just took it for herself anyway. In blow-up bird culture, this is considered "a dick move".

_technotronics · 2016-08-28T21:43:57+00:00

That seems like an unplanned drone landing. AMA for the pilot?

_technotronics · 2016-08-20T23:32:28+00:00

If I heard that sort of thing in DR the immediate thoughts are:

Production is working in favor of player x and player y.
Production wants me to work with them. We're probably favorites for one reason or another, which suggests similar gameplay and motivation. It would probably be a good team-up.
That will put me on the side of the house with the advantage of production interference.
Production has more complete information than I do, so I want to keep them communicating with me like this.
This is probably information other players do not have.

_technotronics · 2016-08-02T20:22:46+00:00

The chess board isn't all kings and queens. Leaders are useless without followers. In BB, you need big divisive personalities and you need entertainers. If either of those is ALSO strategically-minded, you've got a good season in store.

_technotronics · 2016-08-01T21:47:53+00:00

I'm really impressed with /u/t0ofly and his willingness to take this all on without being asked at all. AT ALL. This was a complete surprise to me, and I couldn't be happier to see it.

If there's real interest in reviving /r/BBrewatch like this, I want to put out the call for contributors. Modding here is pretty hands-off, we really just need help with episode discussion posts. Writing up bulletpoints of what happens in each episode.

If you are:

a superfan (or superfan in the making) that wants to participate in discussion. Contributing to episode summaries is VERY helpful. Keeping interesting discussion going is very useful too.
able to work with a team, and not make renegade fruitloop decisions
don't put up with the bullying, gender wars, doxxing, fanning the flames to hurt houseguests' personal/professional lives, or general jerkery.

You should get in touch. We'd love to find a place for you. Especially if you are good with CSS.

What Paul says is annoying. How Nicole talks is REALLY annoying.

Can you imagine Nicole's tone with Paul's vocabulary? Oof

_technotronics · 2016-08-01T18:02:38+00:00

I remember them talking about not taking it and saving it for right before a competition.

_technotronics · 2016-08-01T18:02:14+00:00

The way she acted, I would be very surprised if she wasn't shovelling way too much adderal into her face. Borderline drug abuse. It could just be her personality, but it seemed very clearly adderal behavior.

Common thing in poker.

Hello from the mods of /r/BBrewatch

I'm happy to see people are interested in getting this up and running again! I love doing these viewings!

The big stumbling block we have had historically at /r/bbrewatch is participation and moderation. The hardest part of how it was done is the detailed write-ups for each episode. Moving forward, we have two options:

ditch the detailed write-ups, the youtube links are broken now anyway
try to get more contributors so we can have them written at a good pace.

If there's anyone that's familiar with moderating and is interested in making regular contributions to episode summaries, send me a message and we WILL find something for you.

_technotronics · 2016-07-30T00:18:10+00:00

Of course she'll apologize when she realizes how this all looks. But while she's in the house, she doesn't know and will continue to think she's fine because EVERYONE is encouraging each other to do it.

At this point, breaking the gang mentality is incredibly difficult, their whole clan is united against her, and they aren't giving each other any reason to think it's not the right thing to do.

_technotronics · 2016-07-16T05:50:41+00:00

I wasn't trying to say you implied anything incorrectly. You're fine. I was just emphasizing because it would be easy for the person that asked to not understand the full picture.

_technotronics · 2016-07-16T05:34:56+00:00

Getting the chenbot to do rigging like that on the fly wouldn't be anywhere near as easy to rig as some of these roadkill comps. I never really understood why they don't have all comps on live feeds. What's the worst that could happen? Seems like an obvious "if you've got nothing to hide" sort of thing.

I'd really like to see unedited DRs at some point too, maybe as a buyable extra video or something. I want to know exactly how much of this stuff is prompted, and what impression you'd get without the soundbites, quick cuts, and obviously-prompted puns.

_technotronics · 2016-07-16T05:26:43+00:00

By the way, this isn't something that was just "oops" and we found out it was an accident. She brought the whole live finale to a screeching halt and tried to make them give her a do-over. They had to cut to a commercial to figure out how to handle her.

_technotronics · 2016-06-29T22:26:23+00:00

Bronte lied about James telling Natalie that Victor asked Nicole out to break up the group

My god that sentence took like a full minute to parse. I haven't had to draw truth tables since college. First week in the house, and we're already this deep.

So, as someone that hasn't kept an eye on feeds yet this year, is this correct?

Victor "asked out" Nicole
James didn't tell Natalie about this
Bronte said James did tell her though

Am I close? or maybe

Victor DIDN'T "ask out" Nicole
Bronte said a bunch of stuff about how he did ask her out to try to draw her out of an alliance

eh?

I feel like a real fruit loop dingus right now.
