BB4 Update

[blingbling]

Having trouble keeping up with this show due to NUMEROUS MLB and preseason football PVR interruptions. Anyway its hard to handicap a front-runner now but you have to think the semi-secret alliance of Jun and Jee is going to be hard to beat.

I was really hoping Erika would get nominated this week :(. If I see one more episode with her tacky clothing and the crocodile tears I'll need a barf bag.

Alison - I'm on the fence about Ali. I know I should hate her for backstabbing Nathan but I have to admire her ruthlessness and her focus on winning the game.

Jack - my favorite player at this point. He's had some of the funniest comments in the show. The comment about how he is usually arresting people with tattoos was hilarious.

Jun - can we lose the string bikini...PLEASE!!! Wow has she porked out! Would love to see the look on her face when she sees the side by side shot CBS showed of her 1st week vs. her 6th week? picture.

Justin - probably the smartest guy in the house but will most likely get voted out this week.

Robert - extremely charming guy...he could make it to the end. Hasn't gotten on anyone's (Erika maybe) bad side either.

Jee - he's a real threat with his alliance with Robert and Justin and his secret alliance with Jun.

She had on a tie-died Grateful Dead type shirt last week along with some really messed up loud design sweat pants - most amazing fashion faux pas I've seen on network tv in years. :lol:

Supposedly J.Lo is her idol/role model?? It shows :).

Julie Chen looked very fetching tonight...meow :righton:

[blingbling]

Why Jee WHY??

[RandyAB]

The only people I really do not want to win are Robert and Allison. Anybody else I would be happy with.

[dfergie]

Jack gets my vote, but he will probably be nominated and exit this week.

[JBKing]

Jack puts me to sleep whenever he is on screen. C'mon, 20 minutes to line up a few cameras? This guy has intentionally blown every competition just so he won't be a target. And his offers are always lame. He tells Jee 'just to think about' putting Robert up. Yeah, that will happen, Jack.

Ali will stay around because no one on the jury will vote for her to win. She'll be easy competition for whoever is in the final.

I hated to see Justin go, but he would be the toughest competition in the end, so they had to get rid of him asap.

Jee may have screwed himself with the veto / PB&J thing, but I really think he will come out of that unscathed. I look for him to win.

Jun can go anytime, the sooner the better, IMO. Her and Ali can only lie so much!

[blingbling]

At this point in the game I'm beginning to wonder if Alison has a soul. Anyone think she is going to be completely and utterly ashamed when she watches the video of her actions for this past month?

[Ron Barry]

I am a firm believer having watched all seasons that the show is increasingly being manipulated. The fact that Allison won the veto was not coincidence. I feel the contest have been geared to wards the people they would like to win. Point in fact, When Justin one HOH, All question asked related to members on his alliance and they even threw in Ally at the end. The cage was designed so that the taller men would have a more difficult time. Ally was the person that if she one would give create the best drama. This show is not sitting well with me at all. I don't think everyone has a script, but I thing BB is setting things up to increase the odds of certain people winning. Allison actually has a 75% likability rating on the CBS site. How she got that I will never know but it does tell CBS that keeping here on would be a good thing. She does keep the house interesting. Even though the sight of her makes me want to throw up. Well I am sure most people will think I am nuts, but after last years vote I am starting to think I am not.

As for having a soul, I am not sure what Allison's strategy is. First it was to flirt with all the men. then she caught on to Jun's floating strategy and started using that. Tossed Nathan out like yesterday's trash. The scary thing is that she might win and everyone wants to go in with here so she is a shoe in for the 50K.

My take weeks ago was that the final two will be an 2 exs, which puts Robert and Erika in the finals. hmmm maybe I was off, but Jun and Allison is another pair and I am almost positive it will be one of these two match ups. Reason being... those are the two that makes for good TV. the fact that the jury is hanging out together is another issue all together. This in my opinion is what created last years clueless vote and will also create something that if thought about won't make a lot of sense.

Ok... Getting off topic... ;) Alison does not have a soul. She is the one you love to hate and my guess is she will make it to the end. So I will leave it at that. She is "Full of herself" and thinks she is a stronger player than she is.

Oh.. and on last night challenge. Yes you can increase the odds by arranging the names in a certain way. also the placement with relationship to glare could give that edge.

[Unthinkable]

As bas as Allison is and she's profoundly bad by all means, have you guys watched any of Amy and Toni on Paradise Hotel yet? Holy smokes!!!! Those two manage to make Allison look like mother superior somehow. :lol:

I'm convinced the both of them win hands down this years Sue Hawkin's "I wouldn't stop to help you if the buzzards were circling over your withering dying body" award.

[Ron Barry]

Nope have not seen that show.. only so much reality TV one can watch.. Wonder which reality show will go HD first. I am suprised Survivor has not. Maybe they are waiting for the champion version to do it. If they plan on doing it at all.

Well I hope that Alison does not make it to the finals.. Ugh.. First HOH challange will have Robert falling first. Alison will win this challange unless she does something stupid. For th most part the hold on to thing and stand there challanges always favor the woman. Not sure why this is the case but it is.

[blingbling]

I'm sure the producers of BB4 try to influence the competitions by staging contests that play to certain players abilities. Contests involving memory or past details of players, past contests, etc.. almost always favor the females because women tend to notice details much more then men do. Survivor's producers do similar things. Although in the last Survivor I think there was at least one ringer in the group...maybe more. Daniel? the Asian guy...he had to be throwing a couple of those competitions. There's no way he could be that stupid or physically challenged.

Re. Paradise Hotel: I haven't seen a whole episode only a few minutes here and there. One thing that struck me about that show was how generally bad the girls hair and especially there skin was. I usually don't notice things like that but it seemed so obvious and out of place for network TV. :shrug:

[Ron Barry]

Well that kinda of sucks then if they make a science of it. I would hate to be on the show and get booted because they wanted to keep a certain person on the show... What sucks even more is that person gets to think they are kick butt when in reality they have been given an advantage. Example: Arranging the names in a a more perdictive order or asking questions about people from only one side of the fence. I would hate to lose 1 Million dollars because of ratings. ;) It is one thing to lose it because of being voted out or getting ganged up on a challange. it is another because they want a certain outcome.

Another point: Individual challanges should be individual. These challanges that allow other people to gang up should not be used during individual immunity.
