And another day bites the dust. Yesterday saw pretty much nothing happen. The houseguests got spinners to play with, then the POP viewers sent them questions to answer. The answers were largely as expected. Then they had their daily bashing of former houseguests. Christmas then informed us that she was going to tell both guys to take each other and she'd take a knee and go out third. (That's the competitive spirit we've all grown to expect this season.)
How did any of these idiots get through the competitive process of getting on Big Brother? Did they all burn out their competitive juices just getting on the show? It's not an easy show to get on. You're competing against thousands of others to get on the show, so why roll over and play dead once there? We've never seen so many thrown/given away comps as we saw this year. It's just been absurd. No one really seems to want to win this year. They're all just there to help Paul win. Even Victoria made a plea to stay in the game back in Derrick's season, but this group just doesn't seem to care.
Paul said this year was toughest on him since he has PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) from being on Big Brother 18. If it's any help he's given viewers PLSD (Paul leads sheep disaster) this year. Sadly there's no cure or treatment for PLSD.
The things viewers love about BB are the strategy, the uncertainty, the flips in power, the mystery of who's going to win HOH, POV, or will be going home each week, and this year we've had none of that. We didn't have any worry about who would win HOH or POV as Paul would tell them each week who should win and his sheep simply did as ordered. They let a one-legged woman win a race comp at Paul's urging for God's sake. Production wasted a lot of money this year creating comps when all they should have done is let Paul tell them who would win HOH or POV and save them all that trouble.
Paul played a masterful game given the sheep he was surrounded with, but the DR was complicit as they never led the houseguests to question Paul. In a normal year the DR is great at creating paranoia and making everyone question their alliances. This year they seemed more determined to keep the sheep lined up behind Paul. Even Josh who a week ago considered Paul to be Satan and claimed he had no shot at beating him, now is taking Paul to the final two. Gee, I wonder why he changed his mind?
The three stooges left in the house now are convinced Christmas will win AFV. (Cody and Kevin seem to be leading in the polling however with Christmas barely registering in the polling at 1%-2% of the vote. Jason's solidly in third place in most of the polls. Anyone but those three winning would be an upset.) The good news is the two Paul and company least want to see win are Cody and Kevin. Paul's mouth will be on the ground when Julie announces those three as the finalists.
Just two more days and we'll be able to put this disaster of a season behind us. Then on to Celebrity BB over the winter. Will they use it to fill in the void between the two seasons of Survivor or will they debut it in February for sweeps? My best guess is they'll start it in early January and end it in early February so the finale is in sweeps and then leads into Survivor. I wouldn't be shocked to see them transition from Celebrity BB right to a new season of BBOTT. With Celebrity BB being a short season they could then keep the house decorated as it is for Celebrity BB and toss in new civilian houseguests for a six to eight week run.
Expect nothing much to happen today or tomorrow then Wednesday the season will come to an end. Paul will get one last chance to tell his sheep what to do and they'll likely baa and do as commanded.
Fly!!! Eagles!!! Fly!!!
