I've had a rough & tumble summer but I'm nearly caught up on the episodes. This season is surprisingly strong one week and then boring as fuck all
after. It's been pretty piss-poor since Nicole entered/left. Now that she's been given the ceremonial torching, I think it'll pick up. Part of the
problem was that Rex and Luke were the two biggest characters of the season along with Darnell. With Luke leaving and Nicole moving in, we were pretty much
left with only Darnell. Frankly, the albino's been kind of a downer for the last month. I do want him to win though because Rex is a total smarmy ass
although he was a pleasure to watch pre-Nicole because there had never been a housemate quite like him. Everyone else in there is background material,
especially Kat who only pops up about once in each Daily Show to do a little jig or sing a diddy in Engrish.
If I had to pick who would win, I'd say Kat. I know we aren't supposed to bring betting odds into this forum and I won't specifically. I will say that they're a four person clusterfuck at the moment. What gives Kat the edge still for me is that she has absolutely no negatives whatsoever. Every eviction show has people shouting out "Kat!" or "Darnell!" for whom they want to win. It's one or the other just from that alone. Rex/Lisa are too negative while Mikey's been pretty uninformed as to the going-ons in this house which has led him to say a lot of stupid shit. Sara, Rachel or Mohammed winning kind of defeats the purpose of Big Brother. There's never been an Under-The-Radar winner. I'd make the arguement myself that Brian probably warranted more airtime than he should have because none of that dimwitted crap was remotely interesting but at least he was shoved down our throats enough so that those that did find him entertaining would have a reasonable case. Anyway, it's pretty much the same reason why I was thrilled to see Nadia win BB5 despite abhorring every second her deplorable mug was on screen. Truth be told, none of her competitors were major characters. This is exactly why a Kat win kind of pisses me off. She just hasn't done much in there. Little screentime, no storylines whatsoever. If another girl did what she did and wasn't a foreigner, I don't think they'd stand a chance. You remember Kat because of the way she looks. Yes, Darnell can be lumped in the same way but he's made himself out to be a complex persona through his actions enough that we forget he's a black albino.
Overall, I rank this above BB4 because it wasn't a documentary on robots. I also rank it above BB8 because it had far less shitty episodes (at least half of BB8 was completely unbearable), had interesting game dynamics, no mactors, and the best weeks were better than anything in BB8 aside from last summer's great premiere week(s).
Congrats to B-Block. Most successful alliance in the show's history. Never thought one group would ever sweep house the way they did.
Now, the crowds...I like how they haven't been becoming boo-crazy fuckers as has been the recent trend. However, I hate how they do the annoying "Get ___ out!" throughout the duration of the eviction shows. The housemates can't fuckin' hear you!
