BB19 Finale Recap: Why The "Best" Player Shouldn't Always Win

      Anyone who is reading this blog likely knows the outcome of the Big Brother finale. Paul, in a repeat of last year’s finale, was defeated 5-4 by a person many people think he should’ve beaten. Déjà vu All over again. While I don’t want to get into comparing Nicole and Josh as equals, because Nicole did have more of a case to win than Josh did, Paul’s double loss brings out some very important discussions to have about the game. Many people think Paul was “robbed” and that he was by far the “better” player in both instances, but more so in this season. I want to use this post to talk about the flaws with those perspectives on a reality show that is inherently a “social” experiment. Hopefully, this will serve to bring a new take on the finale and how the idea of someone dominating a game does not mean that they are playing it the best.

     First, before I explain why it was reasonable Paul lost, first let’s talk about some fundamentals about Big Brother. Primarily, the game has three major components. And sorry to steal from Survivor, but they are just as applicable here : “outwit, outplay, outlast.” For those who don’t watch Survivor that roughly translates to strategic game, competition game, and social game. In my time watching the show, I’ve noticed that both myself and the rest of the viewing audience puts too much emphasis on the first two and appears to disregard the third. This finale proved why that is a crucial mistake.

Big Brother is first and foremost a show that was meant to be a social experiment. It’s very basis is that you are interacting with people and trying to get them not to want to evict you. Competitions and strategy play a role, but the very basis of the game is social. To go a long with this social theme, a jury of their peers (other players) ultimately decide who wins the game. There is no manual for them deciding who they want to win. We can bitch and moan about who they choose to give it to, but their vote is their vote. If you are truly playing a social game, you would know what makes each of these players tick. It is up to each and every Big Brother player to determine how the jury members think and to cater their moves around that. That is essentially their job over the entirety of the season.

      If you are fired from your job because you were not doing it satisfactorily, does that mean your boss is “bitter” or you were “robbed”? No, because you knew the tasks that were expected of you. The task that is expected of you in Big Brother is to get the jury to want to vote for you, and ultimately Paul failed twice at the task. There is no “bitter” jury because there is no set guideline of how they should cast their vote. Dominating the game only means that you achieved “outwit”  or “outplay”, but it does not guarantee that your social game was what it needed to be to win the votes.

Jury management is the key upon which the latter half of the Big Brother game is based. I’ve seen complaints about how the jury should not be allowed to not vote for someone because they don’t like them. So let’s bring this back to the job analogy. Imagine you are giving an interview to two candidates. The first, has all of the qualifications you could ever dream, but is a total asshole that you would feel sick giving any money to by hiring them. The second, lacks some qualifications, but you at least like the person and think you could work with them. In the majority of cases, the second person gets the job even if objectively the first had all of what is perceived to be the “best” and “most important” part of the decision. Paul, to the jury was the first candidate. Josh was the second.

Paul lacked jury management. 

      When the jury cannot stand you,  that is a very bad thing. They will be looking for excuses not to vote for you, and Paul gave it to them and more. One, he orchestrated the mass bullying of Jessica and Cody consisting of them berating his “fake” military service and using his daughter against him. He then orchestrated the bullying of Mark and Elena. And yet, people blame them for not liking Paul enough to give him the money? Did you vote for the school bully to become president even if they tormented you, but had more leadership experience? If ever there was a reason to vote on emotions, it was this season. Paul’s antics extended beyond what could be interpreted as game. Cody’s military service and daughter are not game. Trash talking them after they have left is not game. Trash talking period in most instances is not game.  And when you do it about everyone, prepare for it to cost you votes.

      So now that we’ve established how Paul lost the Cody, Elena, Mark votes. Let’s talk about how he lost Alex and Jason’s. As I’ve already mentioned, many fans are enraged when the “best” person loses the game. First, my goal was to attempt you to see that the very definition of best people are operating with is flawed. But secondly, even with that definition Paul made a lot of errors. Jason and Alex and how he handled them was a prime example. Alex had even left the house ready to vote for him, but his actions lost her vote. And this comes down to one simple principle that Paul didn’t follow.

       Backstabbing does not lose you the Big Brother game, but lying about it afterwards will. Andy backstabbed. Boogie backstabbed. Derrick backstabbed. What do they have in common? They are all winners of the game and all admitted to their deeds in either goodbye messages or the jury questions. They owned up to the way that they played, and while that doesn’t make it sting less for the jury members, it at least gives them something to respect. Once someone is out of the game, the need to lie and blindside them goes out with them. However, when Jason was already evicted, Paul kept lying in his goodbye messages saying that he knew nothing about it. This had two fundamental mistakes in it. The first, there are people that know he is lying that will follow Jason into the jury house and Paul can’t make sure that they don’t say anything. Second, once Jason finds out that you are still lying in your goodbye messages, it rubs salt in the wound. It tells them that even after they are evicted, you think that they are still too dumb to recognize what has happened. Josh, on the other hand, did what you are supposed to. He owned up to every blindside in his goodbye messages, apologized for it having to be that way, and then explained why it had to be that way and why they needed to go. Josh was by no means a great player, heck he wasn’t even a good player, but that’s how you need to handle goodbye messages.

     Paul proceeded to double down on this stupid lying strategy in the jury questions. He owned up to nothing and refused to address how his actions impacted the people in the jury. All he had to do was say some variation of this:

       “I backstabbed each and every one of you. I am sorry if I hurt any of you, but in order for me to have any shot of winning, I had to take out my biggest competition threats. Marlena, Cody, I know that how I treated you was wrong, but yada yada yada some game excuse for doing it.” That’s it. That’s all his speech had to be. He’d emphasize how controlling of a strategic game he had had while also trying to make up for his bad social game by apologizing to the jury for the more ruthless aspects.

     So let’s talk about Josh. I think its pretty clear with this blog that Josh didn’t win the game so much as Paul lost it. But, that’s what happens in Big Brother and ultimately life. He at least realized the potential of Paul causing a bitter jury and decided to try to capitalize on it. Paul’s idea to make Josh the person the jury hate backfired. Instead, it made them respect Josh more because he was at least the devil who was rude to them to their face. Paul tried to play innocent while orchestrating it all. The latter is more of a betrayal and caused the jury to lose respect for Paul.

     How do I rate Josh as a winner? Well, he is in the bottom 5 winners of all seasons. For sure. He was carried far into the game because he was an emotional toddler who no one liked. When he had strategic insight, he didn’t follow through with it. He didn’t win comps that weren’t thrown to him. However, that does not make him not deserving. He did what the criteria establishes you need to do to win the game. He made the jury want to vote for him. That is what constitutes a “deserving” winner. Unless your name is Rachel Reilley and the game was rigged and manipulated to force your win.

    With that being said, I still rank him a 3/10. The only reason he has any points was his goodbye messages and his decision to take Paul to the final 2.

      So now let’s get off my soapbox and rank the season. Man was I disappointed. As you could tell from my earlier posts about the season, I had so much enthusiasm. The new cast seemed so great, but somewhere a long the line it blew up. The idiots procreated while the decent and likable players were picked off.  Thankfully, Cody winning AFP has shown these miscreants that America doesn’t support them like they thought we did. Strategically, no one but Paul showed up. Socially, people like Kevin and Elena would have flourished in normal seasons. Competitively we had Alex and Jason. However, all of the ingredients didn’t work right. No one was really playing to win and for that this season gets a 4/10. It would be a 2 if it weren’t for how entertaining Cody was and how good the early episodes were.

   So with all of this being said, I end my thoughts on this season of Big Brother. I’m super excited to see how Celebrity Big Brother goes and to talk about it with you guys, but hopefully my schedule allows me to talk about Survivor with you guys as well. My recaps might have to just be written on the weekends a bit late.

Also, let me know if you’d be interested in a ranking list of all of the seasons of Big Brother and how they place. After every season its definitely something I think about often and it would be interesting to hear everyone’s perspectives.

BB19 and Who Has Been "Cancelled"

It's been a busy few days on the blog which continues with the posting of this podcast. But first, if you missed my blog post the other day: I discussed the recent editing snafu that the producers chose to do and relayed why it was problematic. If you want to read it, go to the home page of  this site, scroll down this post, and you should be able to see it. With that being said, here is the link to the podcast.

CBS Sucks: A Rant About the Editing of Big Brother 19

   I’ve recently had a conversation with someone where they asked me a very reasonable question. Why do I like Jessica and Cody on this season of Big Brother? It’s a reasonable question. In theory, they represent everything I don’t like in Big Brother contestants. They don’t treat the game like the Holy Grail, they care more about competitions than strategy, and they do have pretty terrible social games. But yet, I love them. I’ve discovered that what I love is their no bs approach to these houseguests and how they are the only people on this season to truly understand how everyone else in the house with them is complete and utter trash. It’s as if the Big Brother house became a landfill and Jody are the recyclable cans that ended up there by a lazy mistake.

  This is a cast of completely unrepentant narcissists and nasty people. First, we have Paul: the midget with a Napoleon complex who thinks it is his god given right to behave cruelly towards other people. The worst part is that, try as he might to justify it, his actions have nothing to do with the game. Kicking two people that are already down is NOT a game move. He didn’t get anyone new to turn on them. He didn’t make them perform poorly in a challenge and then backed off. He decided to make their lives a living hell this past week. 

   For those who saw the harassment Jessica and Cody faced on the Thursday Big Brother episode, let me tell you, there was so much you missed. Paul orchestrated that entire attack hours before it happened and told each person what they were to do. What you didn’t see was Alex and Christmas for multiple hours attacked Cody’s military service and told him that his service was a lie. Cody was a marine for 10 years and was deployed twice in Afghanistan and they had the nerve to tell him his service was fake. CBS, likely to protect ratings from dropping, did not air these remarks. Furthermore, this attacking of the two lasted for hours beyond what was shown. Jessica and Cody had to be talked out of not quitting by the diary room and the houseguests had to be warned repeatedly to stop. However, what makes the situation even worse is that after all of the warnings, all Paul got from the experience was that America would “mistakenly” think he was a bully. He might as well buy a big old track with oversize wheels because his small penis syndrome couldn’t be anymore obvious.

  Christmas ought to only receive coal this year for her behavior as well. I do not care if she is on painkillers. She has the capacity to realize that Paul’s actions were disgusting and she should not have agreed with it, or even participated.  Matt was falsely portrayed as a good guy during the episode, but that was incorrect. He did express doubt over the plan, but only because he was worried about Cody hitting someone. He was full blown egging on Raven when she was attacking Jessica.

    And don’t even get me started on Raven. She is full blown Carrie/single white female/white trash/insert any other crazy and demeaning allusion here. 1. When she was flat out called Paul’s dog, she freaking barks in response. DOES SHE NOT GET THAT THAT WAS AN INSULT?! 2. I’m angry at CBS for how they edited her fight with Jessica over Alex’s cat ears. What they did not show was that everything Jessica said was correct. Raven DID steal the cat ears and pour out the coke, and CBS EASILY had tape of it that they could have shown, but they didn’t because protecting Raven is protecting Paul. I don’t care that they still showed those two negatively. It was much worse than what was portrayed. 3. Raven is an attention whore. Plain and simple. While the stomach disease that she talks about is real, the extent to which she says she suffers does not appear to be. For a “life threatening” and horrible illness, she has not had a SINGLE instance of being sick in the house. Furthermore, after Christmas broke her foot, Raven noticeably began faking a limp and this limp was only present when other houseguests were around. Then a few weeks ago, all of a sudden she has a story about having been kidnapped. If you think this is it, you are mistaken. Jessica a few nights ago was talking about how her father is passed away and Raven with her “one up” disease (the only real disease she probably has), decides to make it all about how her mother could probably be in the hospital. Oh, Raven, your mother is so sick but you chose to spend your summer in the Big Brother house? Crazy is as crazy does and she gets a lot of it from her mother. 

   Social media participation is nothing new for Big Brother contestants’ families, but Raven’s mother has taken it to a new level. Anyone who says anything negative about her daughter is blocked and harassed. Her mother has even gone so far as to post people’s addresses on Facebook and report parents who don’t like her daughter to Child Protective Services claiming that they abuse their children. 

   The sad thing is, is that no one on this season outside of Jessica, Cody, and Mark have any redeemable qualities. Elena is the classic bystander who does nothing to stand for what’s right, which makes her almost as culpable as who does it. Alex is a petty and insecure mean girl who trashes girls and then wonders why she has no girlfriends. Jason has made several disgusting remarks about how different women should be raped and Kevin has become openly confessing to having adulterous thought about Christmas even though he has a wife and children watching the show. Kevin, in a conversation with Paul, even openly detailed how to have an affair without a wife knowing. Are we seriously supposed to believe that he has this knowledge without having done it before? 

    The sad thing is that this week has almost had me not hating Josh as much. At least in Josh’s case, I can pinpoint his issues to some sort of psychological issue that he can’t control. The others are just horrible human beings that are exhausting to watch and read about. I was really excited about this season at the start due to the fights, but with Paul in this house, it’s taken a turn toward revolting and without Jessica, Cody, or Mark in the house, I’m not sure I could continue watching. What makes all of this worse is that CBS indirectly allows this behavior to continue to flourish for the sake of ratings by not airing it. If they had a truthful edit, these contestants would be getting blasted and actually have to face real consequences for their actions.

   So I’ll continue to wave my Jessica and Cody flags in support for non-trash Big Brother contestants. I will also continue to write about what actually needs to be said about this season, even if CBS refuses to show it. You can’t just cast horrible people and expect to get no backlash for it. 

I'll see you next time,

War for the Planet of the Apes : "An Obvious Allegory"

   Have you ever really enjoyed a movie but still rolled your eyes at some of its more heavy-handedness with its message? Oh, you’ve watched every Marvel movie ever? Good, we are all caught up. Well, last weekend I went to see War for the Planet of the Apes, and I found myself in this exact position. In fact, I spent more time thinking about how obvious the message it was sending was, then about whether I was enjoying the movie. The movie was decent, but certain parts kept it from being as good as its predecessors, regardless of what the critics say.

    But before we dive in, I want to thank everyone who has been a part of my blog journey so far. As of last Thursday, it has been a year since I started this blog. In celebration, there is a lot of cool content to look out for on the blog this week. First, tomorrow or today depending on when you view this, I will be posting a rant blog about the recent harassment going on in this season of Big Brother. On Monday, Big Brother coverage continues with the posting of the most recent podcast I recorded. Other content during this week will include: my thoughts on the Bachelorette finale and a review of the new Dark Tower movie, so keep an eye out for all of this coming up on this special anniversary week of the blog. Now, back to the review.

  As I said before, this movie was decent. There was a lot going for it. The visuals were absolutely stunning as usual and the acting for the most part was top notch. Woody Harrelson in particular relished every second of his being the villain. He was by far the best part of the movie. In my opinion, the movie’s only real complexity came from his storyline. Without going too much into spoilers, the movie spends a lot of time considering whether or not his actions compared to the apes are moral. And while he was clearly evil, I appreciate the fact that it is also made clear that his motivations aren’t wrong, and that his reasons for committing the atrocities he does are based on a fear that ends up coming true. 

   However, that’s really the only exceptional part of the movie. Perhaps my hopes were too high considering how much critics liked the film. They cited its “message” as particularly insightful. However, even a blind individual could see the message. Similar to how its predecessor Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was somewhat of a retelling of the story of Julius Caesar being betrayed by Brutus (fitting considering the main ape’s name), this film played out as a retelling of the Holocaust. We have the villain (Hitler), who believes that the only way to save the human race (Aryans) is to defeat who they believe to have caused all of the problems, the apes/jews.  It is an easy way to get an audience emotionally invested through the parallels, but also feels cheap. The past two movies worked because there was no clear way for the humans to deal with the apes. Everyone’s actions, even if they were misguided, were reasonable. In this movie, it’s made abundantly clear that we are to sympathize with the apes and only the apes. That takes away any chance to have real discussion over the issues presented and instead makes it seem like a generic popcorn flick, when interviews with the producers make it clear it wasn’t supposed to be.

  Overall, I’d give the film 3 out of 5 stars. It is a decent film, but don’t go into it expecting it to be incredible. One last note to touch on that explains why I gave this film a higher rating than my comments above might have suggested: if you know anything about the movies that this is a prequel of, it is worth seeing. There is a subplot in this film with the child in the movie that explains how humans end up the way that they do in the original films. I found it interesting to follow once I connected the dots as to what it all meant, and this subplot in particular is how you are able to realize that the villain might be right in all of this. If you have no idea about anything in the originals, then the child will likely feel added on and her scenes will lack gravitas if you can’t make the connection as to what she alludes to. If you are fans of the originals, you should definitely check this movie out.

  May Andy Serkis move on to another Oscar worthy portrayal of an animal in a blockbuster franchise. He honestly could make me like anything. Except snakes. I will never like snakes.

  If you like the idea of me doing spoiler-lite reviews of movies when I see them, comment on this video, my Facebook post, or let me know how I’m doing in person. If enough people like them, this could become regular content on this blog and I can even dive into my thoughts on some older releases.

  Thanks and have a great day,

   Julia.

BB19 "Why These Meatballs Are Cooked"

 In this most recent season of Big Brother, I have been irritated in a way I have never been irritated before. No, it’s not the cast. They are pretty entertaining. No, it’s not the horrible gameplay. If it’s entertaining I eat it up. No, it’s not that little Napoleon Paul is running around and projecting his small penis issues onto other males in the house. It’s Josh. He annoys me like no other and I sit every night creating a little voodoo doll, praying to Satan, and sacrificing stuffed animals from my childhood in the hopes that he is evicted. My therapist tells me this isn’t very healthy and so I have been instructed to try to think of at least one positive. After many hours of hopeless searching, I have found one. His dumb as I’ll get out catchphrase has inspired me to write a special blog post.

  While goose cooking is a very popular idiom, I for one think it is fairly cruel to cook geese. How PETA has not revolted against this saying, I will never know. So I propose changing the saying, in honor of Josh, to someone’s meatball is cooked instead. Only for cases like Lorena Bobbit or Hannibal Lector is there a danger of the phrase becoming literal.

   Did I mention earlier that 90 percent of the people in this house’s game sucks? I did. Well did I mention that I still love this season the most that I have in years? Seriously, it has been incredibly entertaining and must watch television in a way that I was not very hopeful for. But alas, even if I love it, nothing can be immune from my snark. Just ask my father, he is the victim of it the most. And quite honestly, all but one of these contestants will end up flat out losers, so why not talk about why that will be the case. So buckle on in, sip whatever you are drinking, and let’s get started.

   

   Christmas

How sad is it when someone breaking their leg is probably the only reason they are still in the house right now? What she fails to see is that her original strategy of guns blazing on all of the competitions would have only ended with her getting sniped or discharged from the Big Brother house. Man, I continued a gun metaphor for a whole sentence. My humor must be depleting. The NRA will probably give me a membership card though.

Right now, her meatball is cooked because her meatball is basically glued to Paul’s meatball. What she doesn’t understand is that Paul’s meatball has a knife sticking out of it and is prepared to chop off any meatball that is dead weight. And a person who can’t win anything is deadweight to a meatball like Paul.

 Matt

Look, I really wanted to like this meatball as much as I wanted to like IPA’s. He is from my home state and seemed like a nice enough guy. But, like an IPA, all he has me feeling is bitterness. He’s the little soldier meatball who goes around asking for his orders from the Napoleon meatball commander. When he isn’t being mindless when it comes to the game, he is mindless when it comes to his showmance Raven. Honestly, he won’t win because Raven will probably murder him in his sleep in an attempt to steal sympathy from when one of the other girls lose their showmances. No Jessica, you shouldn’t be scared that you lost meatball Cody. My meatball Matt was killed last night.  *Insert victim noises here*

   Raven

With all of these ailments she keeps faking, at this rate she will be faking death by the finale. The jury can’t very well vote for a dead girl. This isn’t the Oscars. With that being said, she may not even make it to where she has to fake her death. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE in the house is catching on to her. Soon she and her female ghostbuster meatballs are going to have to bust the ghost of her game because it, along with herself, are dying soon.

    Mark

Is anyone really surprised that anyone who said Brendon from BB12 and 13 is his favorite player is the one that is flopping pretty hard? No one. You in the back? Are you sure you aren’t just drunk? Mark is following Brendon’s strategy to a tee. Be overly emotional and latch onto a woman with big boobed women. The only difference is that Elena’s are real and Rachel was an intolerable harpy. Mark’s only real positive is that he hates the biggest meatball of all Josh. That’s enough for me to take it easy on him. Yes, this is my version of taking it easy.

     Elena

She perhaps is the dish I’d call the “meatball surprise”. I had her pegged as a potential first boot, and her game acumen has actually seemed to be fairly good. However, like Christmas, she appears to like the taste of the Paul meatball too much and is therefore at best an appetizer to the actual meatball meal. If she truly wants to be the meatball dessert, she needs to take out Paul or she is doomed to Christmas’s fate. Paul doesn’t like competition at the Best Meatball in the Show finale after his devastating loss last year.

     Cody

I love Cody. It pains me to refer to him as a meatball after Josh keeps calling him one, so after this sentence, the word shall be blacklisted. I love Cody because he can’t stand everyone in the house and doesn’t stop himself from showing it. That’s probably why the rest of the house can’t stand him and why he is doomed to lose. However, when he is inevitably in jury he can wrap himself up in some Jessica freedom and all of the men in the world will think that he is the real winner.

     Jessica

I can’t talk about Cody without mentioning his better half. And I really do mean better half. She is better socially, probably more well-rounded in competitions, and knows a thing or two about how to play the game. Her issue is one that any female with eyes was at risk of developing. It’s called Cody-itis and it’s when a female just becomes too enamored with the good looks that is Cody that they develop tunnel vision. Side effects are doubting your gut, not talking to other people, and sending house resident superfans back to the real world. The cure is eviction of the disease and praying your social game is enough to get you far enough to win out on comps.

   Josh

Now that my favorites are done, let the meatball metaphors commence. It’s only fair that I go from my favorites to perhaps my least favorite contestant ever. Yes, I might hate him more than Rachel from BB12 and 13. This is a mix between a Christmas miracle and the worst curse I could have ever received. This instigator meatball goes around picking fights and harassing people, but then goes and bawls in a corner like a reject from The Bachelor when they respond back. 9/10 times outside of this house, if he instigated like this he would be punched. Yes, even in Sesame Street, Utopia, Barbie world, suburbia, he gets punched. He is that annoying and not self-aware. If you like Josh, please discontinue reading my blog. It will not help your disease get better.

              Dear CBS, fire your psychologist that clears people for this game. They obviously missed a spot.

  Alex

We have yet another meatball that is stuck to the Paul meatball and she will fall for the same reason that the rest will. However, there is something slightly different about this meatball. She’s the meatball where you go in expecting it to taste like an actual meatball, but then you bite in and realize that it’s tofu. She’s not what you expect in all of the worst ways. She claims to be a gamer, but seems more like a button masher. She claimed to be a Big Brother fan, didn’t even know who one of the most famous players ever were when he was interviewing her. She initially comes off as cool and a competitor, but she endlessly badmouths girls prettier than her and wants to throw away her game for Paul. Basically, even if this meatball is cooked, do not eat it. Your resident health inspector, me, does not approve.

   Jason

This rodeo meatball is perfectly likable as a person, if not a little undercooked in the brain portion. He will be cooked solely because he is trusting the tofu meatball Alex. She has no instincts for how to play this game, yet he treats her like she is Mohammed telling him all of her prophecies. But instead of leading him to salvation, she’s leading him to the boiling pot.

  Kevin

The mobster meatball is probably in the least offensive spot in the house. No one dislikes him and all of the little meatballs love coming together around him. However, he is a little bit of an older meatball, which means when it’s time to clean the fridge up, Napoleon meatball might decide that his usefulness has expired.

      Paul

All evil leader jokes aside, I like the Paul meatball as a character flavor. He is entertaining to watch. You could put him on display in a meatball museum or painting. But, when you bite into him his looks are better than his taste. Our resident Napoleon/Hitler/Stalin/ Bill Belichick meatball will eventually fall as all evil leaders do. As the dictator meatball, he will inadvertently blow up his own game and leave his meatball minions to pick up the pieces and lose World War 3. He’s played well so far, but I’d bet money that he can not sustain it.

So there you have it, your very own recipes on how to cook some Big Brother meatballs. I recommend you buy the meat from your local asylum, since that’s where casting finds these people anyway.

BB19 Season Premiere Week Recap

Hey guys! This was a great podcast talking about this premiere week of Big Brother. I think you will really enjoy what we have to say. We're still working out some kinks but every week I promise we will get better and well I think I'm pretty funny and worth sticking it out for:)

If you disagree, I'll send my cyborg sniper boy Cody after you.

BB19 Cast Assessment Podcast

Hey guys! As you can see, some things have changed since I first announced I'd do a podcast. Due to technological ability as well as time constraints, I've decided to do this podcast with two other people. Because of that, the medium  changed to youtube videos instead of just sound, but rest assured I will keep posting the links to the videos here so it is easy for you to get to and watch.


In this episode of the But First podcast, we go over the house guests that have been revealed and how we think they will do. We then participated in a draft towards the end. It will definitely be interesting to see if I do well since I never have done a draft for Big Brother.


I hope you enjoy it and that you stay tuned for our second episode being streamed live next Friday night after the new season of Big Brother has premiered. I hope you enjoy the podcast, let me know what you think either in youtube comments or here!
