Ok that is a brilliant challenge!

Lol, once again I prove I am a much superior strategist than you will ever be. I really wish I was in the big brother house with you. I would Derrick my way all the way to the finals. Take a minute to think carefully why evicting Bruno over Zach is far much superior. It shouldn't take you more than a minute. If you can't figure it out by then you are way right up there with Dan (from Survivor) than I am.

Of course it's better to evict Bruno. Any moron with a functioning brain cell could figure that out in seconds.

That's not my point. She is only on that position because she accidentally fell backasswards into a stupid power otherwise she was 100% going home. This after 150 continuous weeks of being the pawn because the house unanimously felt she is the most toothless powerless and pointless player. Before this she has played no role in the game, had no role in voting anyone out, was instrumental in no alliances and was basically furniture.

Yet she is the greatest player in BB history because she made one totally obvious play.

Getting rid of Zach seems smarter

Sarah won HOH

It's actually not obvious and does require some thought. If you read any BB board like Joker's 99.9% of people are not strategic enough to understand why evicting Bruno is far superior. They all want Zach gone.

And I'll have to disagree with you about Britnee luckboxing into the secret power and holding that against her. When you play big brother especially BBCAN and recently in BBUS, being likeable and endearing enough to Canada/US should be a very big part of your strategic game the very moment you step inside the BB house. It's something you should factor into the game, it's not luck. It's VERY beneficial to have the audience on your side because you never know how it can affect your game. Derrick from last season knew this and tried to use it to his advantage by lying in his DRs.

its only been 42 minutes, no?

I agree being liked by Canada is a critical game move. I just don't think she has done anything to cultivate that love.

BBCAN eviction episode isn't live.

Agree. To be liked you need to be at bottom so people feel sorry for you. Sure she has made big moves with power but there's also a reason she's at bottom/used a pawn every week.

She's done enough and far more than the average player in house this season. You have guys like Bruno blowing up and getting into the face of women, Kevin and Pili staying in their rooms all day and ignoring everyone else in the house that isn't in their alliance, Ash being a puppet to Zach and not playing her own game. These are things that won't endear you to the audience very much but they were too oblivious to it. Considering that there's been a twist virtually every single week and there's been some kind of Canada votes thing every season so far, probably not a good idea to be attacking women and staying in your room all season and do nothing.

The more important thing to me is what you do with it when you get an advantage. Tonight I thought she got the absolute most with it and has built up enough of a resume to win this game. Zach even said it on the show today that Britnee is a threat to win the game. In contrast to someone like Donny from BBUS who America loved. BB tried to save Donny on numerous occasions but he was so terrible at the game and couldn't come up with any moves to further his position in the game to save his life. It's even more awful that Devin exposed the guys alliance to him very early in the season and he didn't do anything about it. I bought the CBS US feeds last year and it was truly awful. Even though Donny knew he was in such a terrible position in the game, he went to bed every night at 8pm like clockwork.

Also Britnee being a pawn early in the season is not always bad. Dr Will pretty much did this for his entire season and end up winning. Neda from last season played a very low key game for the first half of the season yet we think of these two as some of the best players that have ever played this game.

I don't watch live shows but man how does zack do it. Seems like coulda been out last few weeks.

I thought it was weird that Arisa Cox pretty credited Sarah for Bruno getting out.

He's been pretty lucky but it's not entirely all luck. Like I said last week, all season even though he knows he's in a big alliance he's been keeping close with the other side of the house. Good enough for Bruno to use the veto on him, very different game than Kevin. There's even a small chance he can be safe this week as well. If Sarah puts up Ash and Zach, all they need is Pili to win the veto. Pili pulls off Ash and Sarah would have no choice but to put up God. Ash and Pili would be the deciding votes and they can send God home. Zach safe again!

blah

bruno going out this way is so dumb, best player this year easily imo.

Rooting for God now, I think he should win it from this point.

Id be disappointed by this season (and the dumb twists) if someone else won.

I cant root for Zach since the moment he just let his closest ally get voted out when he was almost crying for help, lol.

Britt is brutal, twists are brutal and show is brutal. Go God? I guess?

Whoa! Can't believe there is a thread about BBC3 in my favourite poker forum... I work on this show! I'm one of the reality control room directors. My job is to sit in front of the monitor wall all day, and choose which of the 79 cameras to use in order to cover a scene.

I just wanted to say hello to all of you who are engaged in what I've been living and breathing for weeks now. I spend a lot of hours in that control room.... tell me what the outside world looks like these days....

Sweet tell your boss to kill the twist. I'm kidding in the sense I'm sure you can do nothing but still don't like how many there are.

4thstreetpete you still think Pilar can win?

I listened to Kevin's exit interview and even he said he hopes he doesn't have to make that choice.

Bruno said the one person he hopes doesn't win is Pilar.

thats awesome all_aces :O

seems like a huge job in many ways .

ahhh, so you're the button boy. Hello.
I've been watching a lot of the feeds this year and I'll like to make a few comments. First the good.

Good
I like the fact that BBCAN doesn't immediately go to some godawful music/fish like the feeds do in BBUS, instead they just switch cams when they need to cut away. Very much appreciated because sometimes the houseguests would be whispering when they're strategising so we'll have our speakers on full blast. Very much appreciated that we don't get startled by some godawful music.

2. The Fan Cam is great! It's a good idea that I wish the BBUS feeds would incorporate. Having a fan voted Cam that never cuts away is great especially when there's something juicy going on and we're not at the mercy of what the button boy wants us to see.

3. This season the button boys/girls have been great catching most of the strategy talk in the house.

The Bad
It's pretty much universally agreed upon by all feed watchers and BB fans (ie jokersupdates) that we all hate the numberous tasks that BB makes the houseguests do. These tasks don't add one extra viewer to the show and the feeds are always down sometimes for 6 or more hours. It's bad enough that the the comps and ceremonies take forever and the feeds go down, it's even more aggravating that the houseguests have to do so many tasks and therefore keep the feeds down even more.

I'd imagine BBCAN would like to charge for the feeds at some point in the future(?). I've been buying the feeds the last few years for BBUS but it's almost a guarantee that I will never purchase the BBCAN feeds because the feeds are down way more than they are up as mentioned above. Pretty much everyone agrees that it would be so aggravating if they ever had to pay for feeds and see it go down as much as it does. It's crazy.

Also why are two cams shut off at night?

Also if I can make one request. If Pili is ever on the cams can you immediately switch to another one? She is brutally boring, my god. More Godfrey less Pili, please. Thanks for the great work so far.

Who knows? She's at the bottom at the rankings right now but it's not 0% like some of you like to claim. It might be at 1% but definitely not 0%. You never know what can happen these next few weeks. Maybe she wins the veto and she masterminds a plan with Ash to evict Zach and keep God. Then team up with Ash and God to send Sarah and B packing. Go on an immunity run and then send God home. If she sits next to Ash, she does have a chance.

I'm pretty sure everyone has about an equal chance to win at this point, including the jury members.

TWISTOSSSSSSS

I guess my point is it is 0%. Sure if she does that plan you lay out she can win but based on what the show has shown us and whats going on during the feeds that unrealistic to happen. Perception is everything if she sitting next to Ash I feel Ash can explain more / will get credit more for whatever Pilar does.

I agree with this.

Are you really going to argue with me over my 1% win equity that I'm giving Pili? A difference of 1% that you got? LOL.
I'm not going to waste any more keystrokes trying to rehash this. Nothing in this game is absolute. You're also underestimating how much the girls in the house don't like Ash and don't respect her game.
Hell, Arissa could come on the Wed show and say "houseguests, last week we said there were no more Twistos Twists. We lied, there will be another triple eviction tonight!" Pili wins final HOH and wins the whole game.

So anyhoo, I was thinking today about how much having Zach in the game is actually hurting Ash's game in terms of win equity. Having Zach still in the game is great for her to get a little further but in terms of win equity it's actually really really bad for her make a strong argument to win the game the later he stays. People in the house hate the game she's playing and think that Zach is the one that's controlling everything, he's such a big target and great socially. Ash really needs to cut Zach very soon if she wants the house to think she's a separate entity and a player. I think if I was in her shoes I would do it. I would never go into the BB house and play for second place, I'd go for the whole thing.
