Welcome to My Mind

For three years now, I've looked forward to Big Brother season. While I'm a little late to the party compared to others, my enthusiasm is always sky-high when the season begins. With the writers on strike throughout the summer, the season was announced to be 100 days, making it the longest in the show's history. The season took place in the BB Multiverse, with four separate universes colliding to bring havoc at every turn. On the one-week anniversary of a winner being crowned, I'll recap some of the most significant events, storylines, and talking points from 100 days of action.  Night 1 Doesn't Skip Out on the Twists (Week 1) The game wasted little time getting started as the houseguests entered the house. The 16 players entered the backyard and were divided into groups to compete in four competitions. The goal wasn't to win, just not to lose. The person in each competition who finished in last place would be on the block to be evicted at the first eviction. By...

100 days. That's a long time to live amongst strangers. It's an even longer time to watch 17 people live amongst strangers.

When we last checked in, Bowie Jane had won the Final 4 HOH after defeating Jag in a tiebreaker, making this her season-tying 3rd HOH. As expected, she nominated Matt and Felicia for eviction. None of this mattered because the veto winner held the power for the week, casting the sole vote to evict. To no one's surprise, that winner was Jag, taking his record-breaking seventh veto of the season. This meant Bowie held no power, m...

Like most Big Brother fans worldwide, I'm ready for the season to end. Fortunately, we've almost reached the end. This week continued the stream roll for The Minutemen, with both members winning a competition. This meant we knew the entire week without ever needing to play it. Regardless, we saw seven days of gameplay and an eviction none of us were looking forward to.  The Minutemen are Cracking The only interesting part of the week was the continued cracking of Matt and Jag. While I'm not 100% sold they won't take each other to the end, we may see one cut before Finale Night on Thursday. We have Cory to blame for this because he was very clear that Matt is the better player between the two, and this has gotten in both of their heads. This only helps Bowie Jane and Felicia, who are now further down on the list regarding their threat level. Otherwise, it was a long week with little movement.  Matt's HOH Reign Before the HOH Competition last Thursday, Matt told Cirie...
