I never got into BB, but I'm watching this season's RW. Sarah, easily my favorite cast member thus far, kinda looks like Leisha Hailey to me.

I've never tried watching RW.

I feel like BB is a really good show to use to ~study~ or look at reality TV, because you get to see what REALLY happens, and then you get to see how they edit it all together, and how it's slanted a certain way to meet the producers' and network's preferences, and what is shown and what isn't. It's actually really interesting to see.

It really does sound interesting when you put it that way.

For some reason BB is too voyeuristic for me which is weird cause RW doesn't bug me - except that it sucks now. BB makes me feel like I'm watching the Truman Show.

You kinda are, except at least they know that they're being filmed, and there's actually competitions and it's for money and prizes and stuff, whereas RW is just ... candid, right? It's understandable the difference though, since you only see edited episodes of th RW, whereas BB is 24/7. So many of the showmances have sex on there, it's gross! But then there are moments of pure comedy gold, like this, and it's all worth it;



The whole first 5 minutes of screaming before the singing isn't included, which makes me sad because it adds to the awkwardness, but oh wells.

Ugh, what a doochebag.

He was. But in the funniest way. But still infuriating.

I had to laugh at the random bday thing.

That's my favorite thing ever. Libra was hilarious, but crazy. Keesha was so drunk, she was always yelling at people and getting in fights when she's drunk.

One of the most disgusting things on BB was when this girl named Amanda, who was kinda annoying and ditzy and had a squeaky voice, she opened up about her father hanging himself. And then like a week later, there was this huge fight between her and a few other people, and she was saying stuff that was putting herself in danger of being evicted, and this girl Chelsia said something about giving her a rope because she was obviously screwing herself over, and the guy that was fighting with her most, Josh, laughed and was just like "Haha, just like her father" and it was sooooooo over the line and urgh. So gross.

I love how their names are so over the top. "Libra". "Keesha". "Chelsia".

And that was seriously over the line. They should've been kicked out for just saying it.

They don't all have crazy names, but sometimes they do. There's usually one person per season that has a silly name.

Omg, okay, so this is the last video I'll post, and I wish I had the whole thing, but this was all I could find. Basically, earlier in the game, Jen gave up her food priviledges, so she's only allowed to eat slop for the rest of the game, but she's nominated and knows she's going home, so she starts making and eating food [her plan was to get a penalty nomination for next week, as punishment for eating, which would make the houseguests vote out the other nominee and get her out next week]. And Jen had asked the diary room people if she could get rid of Dick's cigarettes and they said yes, so she destroyed them all, but then they just gave him a bunch more. Then he hid all of her clothes and basically, this is what happens;



They were like mortal enemies the whole game, and Dick was always screaming at her and saying disgusting things to her and even threatened violence on her twice, and BB never did anything about it. He even dumped a drunk over her head before. And even after what happened in that video, they did nothing. And the rest of the houseguests would just watch him do it, or even join in with him. The whole time, she was pretty indifferent to it and didn't let it get to her, and that was her breaking point, and it was so sad. I was so rooting for her to win, but I was glad to see her get out of there because watching the bullying was just disgusting.

Dick is such an appropriate name. UGH!

I concur!

Evel Dick! With an e and everything. He won too. Him and his daughter were reunited on the show, after not speaking for two years, and it was a ~surprise~ and their lame storyline was all important to CBS so they made sure that Dick and Daniele got to final 2. I think I hated Daniele more than Dick, tbqh.
