Default Big Brother 27

Anyone watching? I've missed a lot of recent seasons but have been watching this year's and boy I'm loving it. I'm on team Keanu, can't stand Vinny, was on Team Reilly and Catherine, Rachel I'm meh about as she annoys me sometimes, Ava and Ashley are a waste of spots for me... I also like Will.

I hated last season and barely watched any of it but I’m loving this season. Sure it has a lot of cringe big brotherisms (scripted DRs, scripted comps, bad editing, Julie Chen being a POS) but I’m locked in and actually anticipating episodes.

Most of the house is actually pretty terrible at big Brother but they’re really entertaining to watch. Keanu is hilarious. His comebacks and burns are entertaining, he’s a comp beast and even though he’s constantly making idiotic decisions I absolutely love it. Vinny being awful at the game, screwing people over then crying all the time. Rachael being the narcissistic lunatic that she’s being paid to be. Mickey being a villain. Will having no time to listen to all these dumb kids whine.

Including Rachel really was a genius move. She’s a self obsessed sociopath which is perfect for big brother. She knows she has zero chance to win. The other house guests knowing she has zero chance to win are gonna want her bring her deep in the game (final two) which is good for the producers because they know Rachel is good for ratings. And she knows that even though it’s pretty much impossible for her to win the only way she is gonna win is by playing a balls out, give zero ####s kind of game and it works perfect perfectly because this cast is so passive and bad at strategy that she’s really managed to shake things up and make it entertaining.

If I had to predict the final three right now I would say Morgan Rachael and Ashley (maybe Keanu).

The only person in the house that I genuinely don’t like is Ava because she’s annoying and she’s bad at big Brother.

Except I was really disappointed they brought back that psychopath lady from last season for that competition. She was one of the main reasons I stopped watching.

Morgan is pretty good at the game. Vince is hilarious because he knows a lot about the game but just can’t seem to figure out how to play it.

I agree with you on Ava. I’ll add Kelley to that. She’s annoying and doesn’t seem to have a clue. She’s good at competitions though, at least.

I refuse to believe that Rachel didn’t throw that competition. There’s no way that she didn’t even get out of the outer ring in 3 1/2 minutes. Given all the shady #### that goes on on big Brother throughout the years because it’s classified as an entertainment show and not a game show there is no doubt in my mind that Rachel had a prearranged big payday but didn’t wanna have to play the entire game in the house.

The only thing that surprised me is she agreed to be on jury. I would’ve thought she would’ve been the last house guest evicted before jury.

I’m also surprised that big brother fandom had such a meltdown about her getting kicked out of the game without a vote considering she volunteered to go.

But it’s hard not to agree that having a competition based elimination on a show where the founding principles are based on being voted out of the house is ####ing bull####.

Rachel was good for the show but she also annoys me with how she bullies people in the house. Her crew will be useless without her.

Keanu is in trouble now and will need to win the blockbuster, which he just might do considering what a beast he is in competitions. Will and Ashley are both pretty useless in comps. Keanu really deserves to go final 2, but I see his 2 flaws bring pretty big in that 1) he let his emotions get the better of him earlier in the season when he went off on the entire house putting a huge bullseye on himself and 2) he trusts people too much. Vinny is the perfect example of this and now, Lauren.

If Keanu doesnt win the blockbuster hes gone. Lauren drives me nuts such a horrible game player but basically safe from elimination cause she cant beat anyone in a final 2.

Hated Rachel, her bully and manipulation ploys were insufferable, if she is in fact acting, well done but if thats her actual personality its pretty disgusting. Also cant stand Vinny the Cry, one of the worst players ive seen, cant for the life of him figure out his game. Ashley irritates the hell out of, so fake in the diary room and just annoying.

I actually dont mind Ava but pretty horrible game player. I really want Keanu or Will to win. Will is a floater and pretty useless but at least hes funny. Keanu deserves this season, back against the wall from day one but not afraid to play the game and make moves which outside of Rachel this season has severely lacked.

Overall been super entertained by this season despite hating half the cast lol. I suspect if Keanu goes home this week my interest will deplete significantly though.

I agree with most of what others have said. Pretty enjoyable season despite most of the players being terrible. I’m hoping for Keanu or Lauren. I think Lauren has been better than people here have given her credit for. Keanu has made some sloppy mistakes, but overall has done a great job of playing from the bottom. I was hoping for Morgan for most of the game, but she’s lost me the last few episodes.

I'm not buying that. In challenges, she can get flustered pretty easily and that's what happened here. Lots of pressure. She panicked and couldn't find the groove and figure out how to move the disc.

Yeah, I agree. She panicked and she lost legitimately. Hie about Keanu? Another massive clutch win when it matters the most. Watching him go though that rack was awesome. He really, really, really needs to smarten up. Do not trust Vinny anymore. Do not trust Lauren. Kelley is the only one left who will show any loyalty to him. It helps that she's also a strong competitor and has won her share of comps. If he sticks with her, he'll get to final 2, but if he again puts his faith in the wrong person, it might come back to bite him as you gotta think he'd lose one of the big comps eventually.
