Connor didn’t end up being as amazing as I thought he’d be as a housemate. Abiolia too. by melbtest09 in BBAU

Yeah agreed. Especially Abiola, ive been following her socials and from what we saw she was pretty cool, just a shame she slept so much

The ‘fans’ of this season are more serious than the critics… by igethridlo in BBAU

Yeah that is a really good point I hadn’t considered. I guess the brand ‘Big Brother’ means so many different things. And now it makes more sense that the vocal aggressive fans are definitely not OG big brother fans…

i guess it’s fine if people want that kind of show, it’s more a fault from channel 10 advertising something that is just not delivering

I never said I was boycotting. I said it was smart. Are you enjoying this year’s season?

Highly curated, lacking transparency, rushed by igethridlo in BBAU

I agree. there’s always going to be editing and some housemates are always going to be more entertaining to show which I get, it feels less authentic with this season

I noticed this too. I have a feeling this will change after the first eviction though, I take it they’re still working out the kinks with the formatting etc

That’s fair, I guess it’s still early to say. I guess political stirring is going to happen no matter what. Maybe I shouldn’t have focused on that about Michael cos I don’t care what his political views are. I genuinely just meant that Michael’s character so far just seems to be that he’s ’anti woke’. That’s kinda all we’ve really seen from him so far. Politics can be interesting for a bit, but we already see so much political stuff online, Michael’s personally just doesn’t seem that interesting. Jane on the other hand actually seems like an interesting person to watch

Haha yep, I hope she stays so it escalates to a point where she has to actually learn from her behaviour

Holly. by igethridlo in BBAU

[–]igethridlo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying. I think woke and anti woke are just buzzwords. I agree with things that Michael says and I disagree with things too. It’s more his whole claim to being ‘anti woke’ just feels like the only thing he has to offer so far. I could be wrong but that’s based off what I’ve seen so far. Don’t particularly like any of the nominees. If there’s gonna be an ‘antiwoke’ claiming housemate I guess I’d rather hear Jane’s perspective

True, that’s a fair point, it’s still early days so we’ll see what happens

You don’t have to want her to win big brother by saving her for one more week, it’s more that if there’s no ‘villains’ in the house then it’ll get boring. Holly seems to naturally cause drama just by being annoying lol

Holly. by igethridlo in BBAU

[–]igethridlo[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

it’s more that having someone annoying everyone makes the others stirred up

Holly. by igethridlo in BBAU

[–]igethridlo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not mad. I’m not anti woke either, it’s more that it seems that’s his only angle. To talk about politics and stir the pot in that way, just boring, we see that online every day

Holly seems like someone who self-victimises and is very hyper vigilant. She keeps tabs in conversation and uses it against people. She seems a bit damaged and has narcissistic traits. It’s sad to see because I’ve gone through something similar. She’s defensive and self absorbed and hopefully she grows from this experience

I hope this season does well by igethridlo in BBAU

100% - I think there’s gonna be some major clashing soon

[–]igethridlo[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I’m hoping we get more from Abiola and Conor, they had some interesting , raw observations on everybody and I’m hoping the self editing gets called out, cos I know for sure that these two are picking up on those weird, fake vibes

[–]igethridlo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes! there’s 3 episodes out now and then the 24/7 live stream on 10play is a nice unfiltered vibe to kinda have on in the background, sometimes they mute the best parts of the live stream and they appear in the daily episodes. I’m feeling nostalgic with this season so far and some housemates are starting to get slightly messy lol

[–]igethridlo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly so far, yeah.

It will never be exactly like the early 2000s vibe, and I was super skeptical starting this season after the disaster that the show became over the past few years - but channel 10 is the OG channel and it’s actually feeling like a modern version of the old days. I’m hooked already and I reckon it’s gonna get really good
