TV: Big Brother 22 - ALLSTARS

[ORRFForever]

When does this start?

I thought it was next week.

 

[ACC1224]

I thought it was next week.

Me as well but I still haven't seen it on my guide.
I haven't looked in a few days though.

It is live*, but I feel like the show is legit made for a pandemic. The concept of the show is to quarantine people in a house together with no interaction from the outside world. If you also quarantine the contestants for 2 weeks before it starts (which they typically do anyway) and give them tests periodically and right before they enter to ensure they don't have Covid, then you're good to go.

At that point you're just sanitizing anything you're giving them like food or set pieces/props for the challenges.

*Unless you're referring to the eviction night episodes. Those typically have a live audience, but they won't this year.

What about there's a showmance or close contact? I want to see Big brother, but don't you think that someone or many will test positive after a week or two?

There’s some kind of beef going on with Nicole (the blonde one) vs. Derrick and Dan but no one can tell if it’s real or not.

A few days ago, Dick posted what he was told was the real cast but doesn’t know that for sure.

If they can ensure via testing and quarantine (think the NBA and NHL procedures to enter the Bubbles) that no contestant has it before entering the house, I think they are in the clear. If one of them does it have and they enter the house, they are definitely all getting it.

The NBA has actually successfully pulled this off so far and they have way more people in their Bubble and they have the ability to go to way more places than the house guests would have.

If it was only the contestants you had to care about then yes it's fine. The crew is the bigger concern, it's the reason BBCAN was cancelled halfway through when this all started.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

It starts on Wednesday. Cast will be revealed live during the Premiere.

The crew has to be quarantined as well and I think it's possible for them to have no in-person interaction unless someone requires medical treatment.

There is going to be close contact because everyone in there should have tested negative. This is not all that different than what the UFC has been doing the past few months.

Well remember Big brother Canada was cancelled in mid March and none of the contestants had the virus because they were confined to the house for over a month, why did they cancel?

The problem wasn't the players, it was the production.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Sooo hyped for this season. A small comfort within all of the craziness of the current world status.

One of the best parts of the "pre-season" is when former BB players come out to try to revive any relevance that they had. Rockstar and Brett have still been going at it two years later.

 

[hoglund]

I guess it will kind of replace Survivor because it will probably end in mid November, the problem is it's starting during the hockey tournament.

lol, So Christmas Abbott's team sent out a mass email to everyone on her website's mailing list, confirming her for this season, and now people are spamming it to CBS and the producer's hoping it will get her kicked off XD

They had to send out a second mass email telling people not to share it or anything cause it could get her removed lol.

Wooomppp wompppppppp.


Man, I'm really sick of the wayyyy over-hyping of this situation though. Most dedicated BB fans are already pretty excited, but the level of extreme teasing has been so excessive IMO.

I've been wanting all-stars for a while.

I actually really like the speculated cast. The early speculation of Derrick and Dan involved got people excited, but I never really believed it, as cool as it would've been.

I think there's fan favorites who went out early, a couple winners, a handful of AFP, a bunch of people who came close to winning (top 5).


Honestly, the only person I dislike is Christmas, but to be fair, she is going to be able to play an entirely different game. Assuming she doesn't break her leg again lol. But she doesn't have the Josh and Paul in there to follow. The rest of the cast won't be idiots.

I think Christmas will either be one of the first two gone, or she's going to impress people and go far.

Would have absolutely LOVED to see Dan come back, but as you said, I never really believed he was an option.

I don't understand what Bayleigh really did to deserve to come back, aside from having a showmance with one of the most annoying Houseguests ever. She only won one single comp (which was way more luck-based than skill), played a horrible strategic game, she blew up her own HoH reign, she had a power app that she didn't use (and told everyone she had).

If Christmas had never broken her leg in BB19 do you think they would ask her back and see how she can be at 100%, instead of seeing things like Paul fixing the HoH competition so she could win it.

Who knows what she does with an unbroken leg.

Maybe she’s a comp beast. Maybe she’s doesn’t rely on Josh/Paul as much and maybe she ends up being the one to get one or both out.

Whether we like the way she did it or not, she came third place with a broken leg. That’s never been done on a reality show, and probably never will again. It’s important.

I don’t consider her an all-star. I do find her a little bit intriguing. Just like David. Their stories are interesting enough to warrant a second go round.

The biggest issue with Christmas is she was recently arrested for things that you wouldn’t think CBS would want to associate with, so that’s the most surprising part about it.

Im actually far more for Christmas being on the show, knowing Paul, Josh and Kaycee were dropped late for whatever reason.

One thing for sure is that Cody was right that Christmas should have been the first one voted out when she was on the block in week 1, even though Cody tried to nominate Paul and could not since he had that Pendant of Protection.

 

[GKJ]

Cody was an unfashionably stupid player people forget that.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Wow this is pretty nuts beginning to the season already!

 

[GKJ]

The list Dick posted a ways back looking good so far, no one other than me thought Kevin was someone people thought should come back

 

[GKJ]

There is only one good Nicole
