Big Brother 2014: CBS, Is This The Best You Can Do?
|Since I have the joy of running this site and giving all our lovely readers the Big Brother 2014 spoilers, that also means I can post whenever I want! I am beyond ticked off about what has gone down in the past 24 hours and what has gone down, in general, for Big Brother 16. I can rant, so here goes!
I am sure I will miss some things with this rant, but maybe if I complain about it then I will feel better????

“MOST TWISTED SEASON EVER” – This is the one that gets me the most riled up! The things that Julie Chen and CBS consider twists have done nothing for the game, but maybe ruin Zach’s game along the way. Team America – sucked. Dual HoH – sucked. Battle of the Block – sucked. Jury Competition – sucked. I know we still have time, but I am really losing hope that they will do a twist that really affects the game.
TEAM AMERICA – I will talk more on this failed twist some more, as all it did was ruin Zach’s game. They tried to bring in something fun, but every vote was stupid and the missions were lame. Zach took the fall for almost every mission and it literally was the nail in his coffin with this neighborhood watch this past week and him getting blamed for stealing the items. Sure, he was already headed out the door, but Frankie made sure to pound that nail harder. And Amber counted as a physical threat in the game?
THE FRANKIE SHOW – I know we need entertainment on the show, but his glitter and sequin vest have driven me up a wall. His ego has grown bigger than the Big Brother 2014 house since he made his “big announcement” and him and CBS are the only ones that think it is a big deal. Go be “famous” on another show, Frankie! He also thinks that Donny has no fans out here, which makes me giggle.
NO ENDURANCE COMPS? – CBS would always give us endurance comps that went well past the live eviction show. We would all watch the live feeds and enjoy the excitement together. Now CBS is not even showing us the HoH comps on the feeds and a lot of the times having fish on the screen while BBAD has shots into the house! How can we get people to buy live feeds if you aren’t showing them anything special??? To add to my Frankie hate, he was saying no endurance comps because the mental comps favor Donny. Well, I think Donny kicked some major butt in that PoV comp during the Double Eviction show, so the “old man” can hang with you youngin’s.
BULLYING – While the Big Brother 15 cast was homophobic and made racist comments, the Big Brother 2014 cast has taken on the bullying tactic. Yes, the all signup to play this game and whatever comes with it, but why kick someone when they are down? Especially when that person is going to the jury house and will vote to give you $500,000! Each week, the power alliance (Derrick) decides who goes home and they all come up with every excuse to hate that person and how terrible they are, which justifies in their mind why it is okay for them to be evicted. This past week we saw Victoria rip up the pink hat Zach has been wearing all season and Frankie went off on Zach about stealing the things, even though he knew Team America did it. And he called Zach stupid for trying to campaign!
EVERYTHING IS RIGGED – I am venting on this because I am over hearing this statement. Sure, production gives hints and has comps that favor certain people, but the HGs have to go along with it. Everyone said Big Brother 15 was rigged for Amanda to win and that didn’t happen. Now it is rigged for Frankie to win. That won’t happen, as Derrick’s name has been on the check for a long time now!
UNANIMOUS VOTES – I am going to cut myself off after this one, but I am over the unanimous votes this season! Why does the house have to vote together every week? One person is going to win $500,000, so moves have to eventually be made. I guess with this group of HGs, the moves will wait until five of them are left. And don’t try and tell me that getting out Zach or Devin was a big move because I just don’t want to hear nonsense!

Maybe the HG think that whoever wins the money (Derrick) will share it with them, because they voted unanimously. I mean, we are taking about the dumbest HG to ever enter the BB house, right?
I predict Derrick will be mistaken for an owl as he leaves with the check clutched firmly in hand saying, “Frankie-who-o-o?, Victoria-Who-o-o?, Caleb-Who-o-o?, Cody-Who-o-o?, Christine-Who-o-o? Whoooo! Whoooo! Whooo!”
LOL
LOL Tessa, you’re too funny! But, so right…hahaha
Thanks but you got me going with the idea that they probably do expect him to share the winnings–dumbest group of sheeple ever.
A great rant Todd and all true.
and thanks.
{{Rising to my feet}} Woohooo! {{whistle, whistle}} Wooooooohooooo! {{applause, applause}}
Glad you got that off my … I mean, your … chest, Todd. Well said.
Love the rant and love the expression on Donny’s face. That is the same expression I hope to see again when he is told that he has been voted to receive the Coup d’Etat!
Just read a post from MorningWitch on another thread and got me to thinking–could Donny have accidentally walked in on Christine and Cody “in flagrante delicto” and the camera managed to catch the expression on his face??
please say it isn`t so BARF, YUK, BARF 🙁
Oh I hope so! It would serve her right to get busted for cheating on her husband on Television!
And wins the Diamond POV…not to mention a couple of HOH’s! Go Donny! America is rooting for you!
One more thing … could you just leave that photo up on every post for the rest of the season?! 😉
Great idea Lilly, I’ll second that!
Todd I am with you 100%! the 2 most despised sayings in BB history have to be…..
1. It’s what the house wants
2. I don’t want to get blood on my hands
uggghhhh just give em a reality SMACK!
Anyone who used those phrases for a drinking game this season should be seeking an AA meeting immediately.
you can’t win the game without getting blood on your hands….that is usually what gets them the money in the end of this show and Survivor
At the end of the day, you are so right, Tommy!
you forgot
“at the end of the day”
Darn it, Lobsta-man! Now I gotta go and drag out the shot glass and the tequila again.
You mean you actually had opportunity to put it away? Make mine a double please.
I made a conscious decision not to turn on the live feeds.
Plus I only like the expensive, aged agave juice and I was about to go broke! This has been a season of tequila sunrises and tequila sunsets.
gee, all this boos talk is enough to make me start drinking again
Combined with this season of BB, it could even make Carrie Nation start drinking if she were still alive!
Never been much of a drinker–I only really like the taste of 2 brands and they don’t fit very well into my budget.
was just saying that to friends seems awful funny Frankenstein is winning everything lately and now Cody really he cant move from one sofa to another without wanting to nap…
Thanks Todd for saying what I have been saying all season. I don’t even worry about missing an episode. I would much rather get the info from you….straight forward and not sugar coated. Love me some Donny. Sure hope he can pull it out and stay in the house til the end.
Christi, as a U of TX alum, your love for Donny makes me even forgive that Boomer Sooner! 😉
Great rant, Todd….CBS should read it and maybe it would enlighten them.
Def agree with you Todd, you are just writing what we all are thinking. This season is Ugh..It just pi**es me off. Yep we all know Derrick is getting the $ . If he doesnt and Donny does we know it will be because of your blog..Great read man. I look forward to it everyday. Thank you.. Now Bring on “Survivor”!!!! LOL
here, here! Great stuff Todd 🙂
I agree with all you said. This is a boring season—I want some indurance comps and some exciting comps.
Amen to this post Todd! You nailed it perfectly!!!!1
Perfect blog Todd!!! Could you make it into a petition and we’ll all sign it!!! And forward it to Allison Grodner!
Oh how i miss the endurance comps!!! It brought fans together even more and ratings skyrocketed (don’t they realize that!). They’re shooting themselves in the foot with taking away a BB staple.
The bullying tactic – my biggest disappointment with this season. How will they justify it considering they’ve talked about how degrading last season was. I hope they’re ready to be put in the same category because that’s exactly where i would put them. Race and homophobia are not the only two excuses to ever be used to denigrate someone. And this years cast has come up with one of the poorest excuses to date for doing that. They do it because they can. And it’s just as bad…or even worse…when you know better.
We all had such high hopes for the TA and BotB twists. But personally i think whoever came up with it was high at the time. Instead of comps that promote survival of the fittest we get people throwing comps left and right to ensure the target goes home. The inventor of this twist needs to meet the unemployment line. That way he could waste his OWN time on his acid trips and no one will get hurt but himself.
I love BB. Always have. But to my dismay i now can’t say i always will. There is not an ounce of evidence that these hgs represent a cross section of America. Unless you’re getting them from reform schools. BB you need to be sent there yourself. To correct the reprehensible errors that you’ve made in understanding the fans.
Just FYI for anyone that’s interested, BB Canada started March 5th last season.
Nicole and Donny are Have-Nots this week. In more ways than one 🙁
This is what is known as “piling on.” What a bunch of sadistic losers!
Gee, why am I not surprised? It sucks!
“Oh, so you’re down on the floor because you know you’re in a house where the odds are stacked against you 6 to 2? And one or the other of you is getting evicted in SEVEN days, with nary a hope? Here, let me kick you while you’re down there. You get to starve all week and watch us jerks eat to our hearts’ content!”
HATE these morons!
I was going to stay away from commenting on this one, since I clearly said my peace up top lol.
I’ll comment on this one….Cody is a pure p***** and he could barely look Donny in the eye when he chose him. Nicole volunteered. Cody has been talking smack all week about Donny, but his first chance and he caves. He said he can’t disrespect his elders. Um, so was Donny younger than he is now earlier in the week???
Cody, IMHO is a worse floater than Victoria is. What has done so far in this game besides paw at Christine? He is such a follower and is so far up Derricks butt that his whole face is brown. In the beginning, I like Cody. It is amazing how my opinion of him has changed….same goes with Frankie….I cannot stand to even look at him. I would love to see Frankie go home and him not know it was coming…..love it, love it, love it!!
Ariana Grande gave an interview to Billboard magazine Tues. The last sentence of her interview has conspiracy theorists talking. Here’s the quote from Billboard……”she laughed, adding that she’s also trying to send him hints through her letters. “I literally thought of every possible code to put in.”
Was it the coup d’etat that took Jesse out and saved Jeff a few years ago? I loved it when all the girls cried like babies for poor Jesse. Then that other girl got kicked out for bad behavior because she was so childish. That is what helped Jordan–the sweetheart win. Loved it.
I really wish that the would bring back Pandora’s box this year….and right about now would be good….I think that if they did that and it saved Donny and Nicole, a lot more people would be happier rather than feel like this is a *lost* season….(and I include myself in thinking it is lost). Something needs to change and bring some life back into BB16
“Hold on, this is waiting to be approved by Big Big Brother” … is this a new procedure? Anyone know?
Sometimes get that when we use a “naughty” word. But lately i’ve been getting moderated even though i haven’t used one. I think Todd said Disqus was having some problems earlier in the week.
I can understand why? Have seen some of things people say on other forms. It’ll make your toes curl.
Thanx for your help Cat, Beth and Shirene … just for the record, I didn’t use a ‘dirty’ word, just made a statement. I went back to see my statement in tact, exactly as I had written it.
I had the same problem last week and I did not use a *naughty* word either. I don’t know if my post was ever approved…lol…but oh well…I guess it was not meant to be.. 🙂
Do you know if CBS reads these post? It would be ashamed if they don’t since the people on here are die hard BB fans. This year has been a big disappointment as last year was. The comps the twist which are None, the bullying, Zingbot major disappointment, he used to make me nervous of the Zings he would do to the HG’s He said one good thing and that was about Christine and Cody and that was it. Frankies Zing was not even that bad……. I didn’t think this year could be worse than then last year but at least last year it was not so predictable and the bullying this year to me is just as bad as the racist remarks las year. Derrick makes me sick, he shows what a bad cop will do to frame a innocent person. Good game on his part, everything he learned from being a cop that he knows how to get someone to think he’s the good guy and everyone that does not go along with him or listen to him is the bad guy and quilty. I am hoping Donny or Nichole can pull something out of nowhere and stay but I don’t think they stand a chance with out some kind of REAL TWIST. So over this year, and so disappointed.
Wow kc, your post is outstanding! So well said and I have nothing to add as you said it ALL and so SO well!!!
Thanks, Mary. I am a die hard BB fan I read every post on here, and I love to to read everyones view on the show and I always agree with everyone, I don’t comment until something just gets to me and Todds last post on CBS is this the Best you can do, just hit a cord with me and I had to write something. Oh how I wish CBS would read these and see the true die hard fans and see how BORED we are with this season!!!
I agree, Todd’s last post was outstanding as well and I for one am glad it inspired you to finally open up with your thoughts as well. I sure would enjoy hearing more from you but I also understand why you hold off. I hate to say die, and keep hoping next year will be better.
Kc, try commenting on the Big Brother Facebook page. Maybe they read that. Even if they did, they won’t change. Maybe, just maybe Donny’s ratings will open their greedy little eyes some. But I’m not holding my breath.
Your Rant was well said , I will not be getting the feeds next year for the reason you just stated I pay to see what goes on in the house not watch dang fish also with all those new cams why is it we only get 2 views showing. I didnt even know jocasta was in the house for the first few weeks.
Yup I agree with every single thing u said and it makes me sad I look forward to this all yr waiting 4 summer 2 come around so I can watch my favorite show, talk to my friends that love it 2 and we haven’t even talked about this season much cuz no 1 really cares with this unanimous voting crap nothing is exciting everything they do is predictable and they let u know who’s going home way b4 it’s happening over it!! Hope there’s a PANDORAS box or something!
