Big Brother US - Season 11

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Kicks off tonight in the States, so should be available online here in the next couple of hours, so here's the thread for discussion of the show.
Anyone who has never seen a US version of Big Brother be sure to check it out - it's nothing like the UK version, it much more entertaining.

i LOVE bb USA. Its soooooooooooooooooo much better than the uk one! its full of tactics, show-mances, physical tasks, alliances.... its just brilliant! and its not on every single night so when they are showing the hour long episode, there is actually good stuff to watch!!!
have seen all the seasons bar the first one

Mr E

Can't wait. BBUK is a freak show.... the US version is far more entertaining.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Just watched first episode of the new series - very interesting new twist introduced and some familiar faces.
Out of the new characters intoduced there's only 2 that I really can't stand already, which is impressive - usually I hate a lot more of them from the start.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

My early favourites are:

Ronnie
Casey
Lydia
Jessie

People I already can't stand:

Chima
Laura
Braden
Jeff

Everyone else is pretty meh at the moment.

Swizz

What channel?

lou91

Quirkydude's channel on youtube...
Anyone else think it was completely set up for Jessie to go back in?? Obviously the athletes were going to win a strength endurance test. :rolleyes:
It doesn't make much sense to put him back in, seeing as how the public voted him out last season and probably hate him.

Also, it's really annoying how the narrator keeps saying "Sheema" instead of Chima.

Saucey-Susie

Ive only seen the 1st episode, will be watching the 2nd one tonight... i cant wait The first HOH comp was v funny but jessie going back in? really?? i hate him!!! and id say once anyone outside the atheletes win HOH again he will deffo be up cos they will see it being unfair since he played BB before. cant remember any of their names tho...

lou91

As well as nominating and getting the bedroom, the HOH gets to use twitter.
http://twitter.com/bigbrotherhoh
Hopefully next week we'll have a HOH who can actually write.

I liked Lydia, but then I read on the live feed summary that she gave Jessie a BJ. Not cool. The stuff they do and talk about on the live feed is actually shocking!! I'm going back to pretending that they do nothing except scheme...

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I actually had a look at the HOH twitter page. Jessie is a moron... none of what he's saying makes any sense. Your description of the live feed makes it sound like Big Brother UK - I think I'll just stick to the broadcasted shows as the scheming and backstabbing and competitions is actually what interests me.

WesternNight

Having only watched the first episode and currently watching the second... Jessie...oh dear god. The guy's a muppet so far.

The whole high school theme just goes to show that people don't actually change their opinions about people since after they leave HS. The misconceptions are pretty much all still there.

It'll be interesting to see how it all pans out.

Saucey-Susie

anyone know who is up for nomination yet? Wont get to see it till this evening or tomorrow evening

lou91

Ronnie nominated Laura and Jeff, but has said that he wants to backdoor Russell. Jeff won the POV.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

The show's getting interesting now - I like when people are constantly switching sides - makes things more exciting.

Saucey-Susie

im loving the season!! its so interesting!! wonder if

jeff

will use his wizzard power!! hehehe. i hope so and jessie goes

Meh, hadn't seen that yet. *points to spoiler function*

Mr E

Of all the people who I'd like to see get the Coup d'État, that person was way down the list. The influence of the american female viewer?

Giving it to someone who is/was actually vulnerable would have been much better. Lydia or Ronnie, maybe....

WesternNight

Same, wasn't expecting it to be him.

Chima

has been kicked out of the house!!!
Got angry when nommed by Michele and threw microphone in pool.

Michele is out of power but eligible for HOH. Double eviction presumably cancelled...

no way you serious? she was a loose canon anyway..thats lousy on michele that her hoh is gone. gonna go over to ds now and have an ol' read of whats happening

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Really trying not to highlight the spoiler tags to see who got kicked out, but undoubtedly I will before Monday morning. I could probably guess who it is though.

How do you know this? Link or I dont believe it!! Surely they would have mentioned it on Sunday evenings show.

murfie

So its

true! I couldn't resist going on the spoiler sites. Details of her eviction will be on tonight's show. Sounds like it was a good one too. She is nuts and I wish she would have stayed for the entertainment alone. so wonder what will happen now

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Wow - just watched the latest episode. Some of the housemates are psychotic. Lydia and Natalie should be shot in the face.

lou91

I have to say, I'm liking Kevin a lot more as the season goes on. He's one of the only ones in there that actually knows what's going on. He's working on breaking up J/J/M/R by spreading rumours and seems to be doing a pretty good job.
Still want Michele to win though.

Really?

In the beginning I thought I'd really like her. But now I'm not so sure. She's playing the game well...she's a good little back-stabber. But I just can't bring myself to hope she wins the money!

murfie

No way Michelle will be voted for by the jury to win, I think Jordan has the best chance of who is left. At this stage its hard to see anyone else in the top 2 other than Jeff and Jordan.
Lydia is funny right now, she has got crazier as the show has progressed.

Any word on what they are doing about the open seat on the Jury.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I'm hoping Jeff, Jordan or Russell will win. Michele and Kevin are fine as contestants, I just don't want to see them win it. And after the last couple of episodes I find Lydia and Natalie unbearable to watch.

Dunno what they'll do about the jury house. I would've said they could put Ronnie in, but that would be unfair, if he's seen episodes of the series since he left.

murfie

So

Lydia

out and from what my wife read

Jeff

is new HOH.

Looks like Natalie is in trouble but there is the possible Russell eviction, Jeff is suspicious of him plotting to get him out. The Jury house is nearly going to be more exciting though with all the crazies now gone.

lou91

The 7th jury vote will be America's Choice, which changes everything.
If Chima had been evicted to the jury rather than expelled, Kevin or Natalie would have had the votes to win. There's no way America would vote for them. So now the only chance they have is if they both make it to the final two. I'm pretty sure that won't happen...

murfie

So

Jeff back doored Russell, not a huge shock but if Natalie or Kevin can win HOH next week he may regret that decision. Even Michelle. I think it was a week too early to put him on the block.

Exciting week coming up, holds breath!

WesternNight

Could have guessed that...but spoilers wouldn't go amiss since people in Ireland (you're in the US, yeah?) might not have had a chance to watch it online yet.

murfie

I have been spoiler tagging my posts but since the thread is about the US big brother shouldnt it be expected there is going to be stuff in here about the last episode shown.
I will continue to spoiler tag so.

Sure, but most posters here are in Ireland and can't view it until the next day at the earliest.

I know there probably aren't that many people here who watch US Big Brother, but it's good to just bear in mind.

They showed a whole series one year on e4 - the one with the exes - i never watch BB UK but this was great.

It was everything the UK version should have been, but too late for them now.

I agree, they are openly allowed talk about their nomination and make deals, back stab which leads to more confrontations. Its much more competitive, not a social experiment. If you try and play the game in the UK one your made out to be a bad guy, nasty nick for instance. All he did was try to win!

Thats how I got into it too, got hooked after a few episodes.
That season is generally considered as the worst on all the forums though.
This is pretty good for finding out who is liked/hated:

Worth it for the thread titles alone

lou91

Looks like Michele is trying to get an F3 deal with Jeff and Natalie, where Natalie willl evict Jordan in exchange for Michele and Jeff throwing the next HOH. :mad:
I'm hoping Michele is just trying to get Jeff's jury vote and Natalie/Kevin evict him. Michele should easily win the mental HOH against Natalie and Jordan, then throw the POV to let Kevin evict Jordan, then she wins final HOH, evicts Natalie and then wins the game!

Wishful thinking...

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I was not happy with the latest eviction - Natalie's a sap...

lou91

:mad:
This is gonna be a BB6 all over again.
Michele = Janelle, Natalie = Ivette.

I hate that Michele is suffering for Jeff and Jordan's stupidity. Evicting Lydia was one of the worst moves ever.
