Yeah, I just started it. I hope the Au version strikes a good balance between the UK and US. I dont really like the late and live UK show at all. I loved the celeb version, mainly for the Chris and Jojo love story š
I havent finished BBUS yet, but havent been spoiled surprisingly either.
The Traitors UK has started, I havent finished the first ep yet.
AU traitors cast has been announced - Kirby and AJ from Survivor will be on it š
I like the 4 intruders/late comers, but the sooking over nominating someone is silly! I'd be like we choose you, suck it up.
Richard and George are great tv characters. I like the fat farmer and the derry girl too.
I thought the episodes were rather boring until the late comers arrived. I donāt know if we would signify them as āintrudersā per se, because they came pretty early. Iām sure there will be more intruders to come.
However, with 14 housemates and only 7 weeks to go, I wonder how theyāre going to get down to a final 5 or so. I canāt remember the final number the public votes on.
I do like that the first eviction was a mix of public and housemate voting. Where the public voted on the nominees for eviction and the nominees decided who to evict. That was a unique twist.
I think Gani rubbed viewers the wrong way up against Zelah. His downfall was being too paranoid and also I think his cultural expressions made him seem harsher than he was.
I do like how the UK housemates can have civil conversations on very harsh topics. I enjoyed the conversation between George and Teja, and then again between Zelah and George. Itās so important to be able to speak civilly about very tough topics, especially political topics. We are in an age where if you believe something completely different than a majority in the room, youāre just piled on. But civil discourse is what actually keeps unity and compromise and betterment for all. No political issue is black and white. There are nuances to every issue. And we need to be able to speak to each other in respectful ways.
I donāt want to get political but itās interesting to me that the discussion of Nigel Farage and the Reform UK party here on this show is so paralleled to the discussion of Trump and the MAGA faction of the US Republican Party. For her age, Teja is wicked smart, and made great points about the nuances of the rhetoric used by Farage and Reform UK, not discounting Georgeās opinions but speaking to the use of language and how it affects marginalized people. Itās refreshing to see that these conversations can still exist in some format in reality shows such as Big Brother, and I wish the US producers werenāt afraid of backlash to air it.
Now, Iāve stayed away from Twitter because Iām behind on the show and donāt want to be spoiled, so I havenāt seen how social warriors viewed that segment. But I enjoyed it.
