Upcoming Events

Ratings - Five Barely Alive edition

This is the time of the season when I fondly remember the old days of everyone going to jury except the two finalists. That gave third place a chance to decompress a bit, and deliberate with the rest of them, rather than voting within minutes of getting booted out. But more so, jury questions took place a couple days before the finale. That wasn't on feeds but we'd get the fallout afterwards, with the F2 often ranting for hours about being attacked rather than applauded for getting to the end, as they expected. Good times.
Won: Movie guest HOH 0 - Veto 1 - Noms 2/0/0 - HN 1   Cam Sullivan-Brown - 25 Twitter - Instagram Single - recruit Physical therapist Bowie, MD He's catching a ton of flak lately for being a dud in the comps, and the worst flak he got was from himself, especially for the Wild Robot and Comics comps. Maybe he's still got a win or two in him? It could happen. He and Chelsie have been tight since Week 1: their Core/CCC alliance with Cedric was the first alliance I was aware of. Despite Chelsie's Diary on Sunday's show saying she'd like to be at the end with Makensy, I feel that one may have been 'of the moment' or 'suggested.' Cam's got a good shot at second place at this point but more importantly for my purposes, he continues to bring the funnies with random comments and one liners. He's the only one left who's actually entertaining, and often.	Won: Week 1 mascot/can't compete or vote; Week 5 AI Arena HOH 3 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/1/0 - HN 0   Chelsie Baham - 27 Instagram Single - fan applicant Nonprofit director Rancho Cucamonga, CA This is the seventh cycle in a row she's been HOH. Only two were officially hers, but she controlled T'kor's, Quinn's, Leah's, and both of Makensy's reigns. We haven't seen this kind of BB manipulation for awhile, and she deserves her flowers for playing the game as hard as she has. She's continually planted seeds against her intended target, then sat back to watch those seeds grow, thrive, and achieve her goal, and then she's the first to comfort her victim. If she gets to the end, she'll easily win the season against any of them with the exception of Makensy, and that could come down to how well she handles the jury questions and her final speech. The jurors will have put two and two together long before finale night so she'll need to own her moves and be more empathetic than arrogant about them. Entertainment-wise, she's so locked in to the game she's not bringing much. Her Chelsie's Chisme talks to us into her Febreze mic don't do much for me.
Won: Week 1 AI Arena; Movie guest HOH 0 - Veto 1 - Noms 7/0/0 - HN 3   Kimo Apaka - 35 36 Instagram - Instagram 2 Single - fan applicant/occasional feedster Mattress sales rep Hilo, HI Winning the high-stress double eviction veto did him no favors with the rest of them, and Angela's exit line saying she'll vote for him at the end shot him to the top of the F5 hit list. He did nothing to help himself this week, as he hasn't most of the times he was on the block. His singing voice is pleasant, but that's about all he's done for at least a month now. I guess he's entertaining himself. His main song includes a line that this summer has reminded them their dreams can come true. I guess his dream was to be on the show, rather than playing the game the show's about.	Won: Hawaii trip; America's Veto/used Week 3; Weeks 4 & 6 AI Arena; Movie screening HOH 2 - Veto 3 - Noms 1/1/1 - HN 2   Makensy Manbeck - 22 Twitter - Instagram Single - recruit Construction project manager Houston, TX She's done well with the comps, especially in the second half, which was a good comeback after being absent for the first half. But unless she manages to win the F4 veto and final HOH, her naivete about the cutthroat nature of this game may cost her the win. If she'd put up Chelsie this week, she could have broken a tie vote to send her to jury, pretty much guaranteeing her $750,000 over any of the others. But no. Entertainment-wise, I've had none from her, except when she acts like a mastermind who thinks she's got a solid awareness of the ins and outs of the past eleven weeks.
Won: Week 7 AI Arena; Movie guest HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 3/1/1 - HN 1   Rubina Bernabe - 35 Instagram Single - recruit Event bartender Los Angeles, CA Somehow she's become the polarizing one among the fanbase lately. Whatever. I find her amusing some of the time, endearing some of the time, and annoying some of the time. Game-wise she's cooked unless she can pull out a win for the F4 HOH or veto. Just because she hasn't done it yet doesn't mean it won't happen. She smoked the AI Arena she won, but she hasn't done anything game-wise since. She has to want it, and I don't even know if she does.	Won: 1000 orb pickup + decontaminations HOH 2 - Veto 1 - Noms 6/1/0 - HN 1   Angela Murray - 50 51 Twitter - Instagram Married with kids & grandkids - fan applicant Real estate agent Syracuse, UT (orig Long Beach, CA) 4th juror - 11th evicted - Day 73 Easily the co-star of the season, alongside Tucker (for different reasons), but she lasted a lot longer than he did. She won two HOHs and a veto, she was on the block seven times, and others veto'd her off it an unprecedented three times. She marched back and forth in the yard overnight for 9.5 hours, including a lot of full goop treatments, and she held up a marshmallow skewer overnight for 9.75 hours. That resumé would win many seasons, but a lot of them didn't like her. She added layers of drama, tantrums, self-deprecating humor, paranoia, kindness, a whole lot of crying, and a game strategy that mostly consisted of 'I want to be here.' She was often loyal and often not, and she was both a pleasure and a chore to watch, depending on the day, and she polarized viewers like few others. She proved that the older woman slot in the casting formula doesn't have to be a doomed early boot, or a dud.
Won: *Week 9 janky veto HOH 1 - Veto 1+1* - Noms 0/1/0 - HN 1   Leah Peters - 26 Twitter - Instagram Single - recruit VIP cocktail server Miami, FL (orig Pittsburgh, PA) 3rd juror - 10th evicted - Day 73 She was a social chameleon and she wasn't in many real alliances, but she had F2s (or close enough) with Lisa, Kenney, Quinn, Brooklyn, Joseph, Makensy, and Angela. She was often fun, often annoying, and a unique personality that the edits unfortunately overlooked for the first half of the season. Things that irk me with most were endearing with her, like wearing the veto necklace or HOH robe all the time, not to mention her Jankie World toy tiara. Cam liked her but Chelsie liked Cam so that got complicated, so she switched to Tucker but he liked Rubina. Both Joseph and Quinn liked her but she kinda liked Quinn, eventually. She often talked nonstop about herself, sprinkled liberally with 'like' and 'literally,' and she came across as being ditzy but she was smarter and savvier than she seemed, and she reminded them of that often. Her bond with Angela was fun to watch as it developed, and then they went out on the same night.	Won: $5,000 HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/1/0 - HN 0   T'kor Clottey - 23 Instagram - Instagram 2 Has a boyfriend - Survivor applicant? Crochet business owner Atlanta, GA (orig Chicago, IL/London, UK) 2nd juror - 9th evicted - Day 66 She bonded with Kimo and Rubina early on, and the trio quickly became inseparable. That's heartwarming to see but a voting block of three is a big threat in this game. She was seen as their leader but she was beloved by everyone so it took awhile for her to hit the block. When she finally did, she didn't take it well and withdrew back into her self-described shell, and didn't fight hard enough to stay. She got Tucker out on her HOH, but he would have been a useful ally for her if he'd stayed. She and Kimo had excellent reads on the game and their fellow players throughout, but they didn't do much with those reads besides stealth-whisper to each other a lot. In Week 4 they orchestrated a vote flip but later denied doing so, even to each other. She's accomplished a lot in life at a young age and I have no doubt she'll continue to do so, and I wish her well.
Won: Deep Fake HOH/used Week 4; Viewers' nominee Week 3 HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/1/1 - HN 1   Quinn Martin - 25 Twitter - Instagram Single - fan applicant/RHAP listener Nurse recruiter Omaha, NE (orig Lawton, OK) 1st juror - 8th evicted - Day 59 He was a different kind of superfan, having seen episodes and RHAP podcasts, but no feeds. He got the best power this show's ever handed out on Day 2, but blabbed it to two people, so by the time he used it everyone knew and the fun was spoiled. That week he put his ally Cedric on the block and he went home, and later he put his ally Joseph on the block, and he went home. But he was allied with nearly everyone at some point, with F2s all over town, and he blew up alliances like it was a hobby. He continually thought he had everyone in his pocket, unaware his pocket had a huge gaping hole and couldn't hold anything. He shouted in Diary but was light and fun much of the time, even when his game was tanking, so props for that. He fell hard for Leah and made 'googleah' eyes at her, and his 'sick nasty' speech to her was instant inspiration for a million memes.	Won: 24 hours solitary HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/1/0 - HN 1   Joseph Rodriguez - 30 31 Twitter - Instagram Single - fan applicant/feedster Video store clerk Tampa, FL 7th evicted - Day 52 He brought a lot of unintentional comedy as he deluded himself about his power and influence, and he proclaimed himself 'star of the show' in one solo talk to himself/us. To his credit, his intentional comedy was every bit as good, although his dry sense of humor wasn't appreciated by some. He had a BB birthday that helped him settle in better socially, and he became the eighth hamster to get 24 hours in solitary. Three of those won their seasons but not this time. Joseph had extra chatty, holographic mini-Matt for company, and he said later he used his toilet tent for extracurricular purposes. He apologized to Angela after being brutally honest about her game, and he acknowledged he had some self-work to do about his 'mean streak.' I'll miss him, and wish him nothing but the best. Props to his siblings and friends for running the best hamster-adjacent socials we've ever seen.
Won: $20,000; Weeks 2 & 3 AI Arena; 1 week AI Assist; Week 6 AI Instigator HOH 1 - Veto 3 - Noms 2/0/2 - HN 1   Tucker Des Lauriers - 30 Twitter - Instagram Single - recruit Marketing and sales exec Brooklyn, NY (orig Boston, MA) 6th evicted - Day 45 He demolished two AI Arenas and was the first pre-juror to win three vetos in a row(!), along with an HOH. All that plus his boasting made him most everyone's target but he seemed to relish that spot (along with puzzles and biscuits). He was a welcome change from the usual 'comp beast' type, often showing compassion and empathy, and shedding tears over missing his min pin Ziggi. He fell in love with Rubina, and was often loud, sometimes obnoxious, frequently funny, and he usually owned whatever room he was in, including Diary. His gameplay was reckless and unpredictable, nearly always leaving chaos in his wake. He was that extremely rare breed of hamster: a hard gamer, often a good one (sometimes horrible), while being entertaining. He will be missed.	Won: Nothing HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 1/0/0 - HN 0   Brooklyn Rivera - 34 Twitter - Instagram Married with kids - fan applicant Business administrator Dallas, TX (orig Covington, GA) 5th evicted - Day 38 She brought us a number of classic shockfaces for various blindsides, and she said 'this doesn't quite feel like Big Brother' when she was on the block and on her way out. I beg to differ. She confessed her sports dancer secret to Quinn (who told several), her Mrs America secret to Chelsie (who didn't), but I don't think she told anyone she's friends with Aaryn. Thanks to Cam, she provided a fun Michael Jackson side game out here for her last couple weeks. She never tired of saying she wanted a married mother to win this season, so I guess we can assume she'll be rooting from home for Angela.
Won: Week 1 mascot/can't compete or vote HOH 1 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/1 - HN 0   Cedric Hodges - 21 Twitter - Instagram Single - recruit Former Marine Boise, ID (orig Running Springs, CA) 4th evicted - Day 31 He prepped by watching analysis clips and didn't see any full seasons so he had an unusual balance of BB lore and knowledge. He was a good sport about being sidelined Week 1 and he used that time well, becoming well-liked by all of them. 'Young Cedric' was an ongoing, evolving skit and his own elaborate life stories usually had them and us in stitches. Between expecting volunteers for the block and painting himself into a no-win corner between his various alliances, his HOH was a disaster. Then he volunteered to be a pawn the following week and learned the meaning of 'pawns go home.' He was funny, genuine, wise and mature beyond his years, and he'll be missed.	Won: Nothing HOH 0 - Veto 1 - Noms 3/0/0 - HN 0   Kenney Kelley - 52 Instagram Married with kids - fan applicant Former undercover cop Boston, MA 3rd evicted - Day 24 He adopted Matt and lost him fast, then he won a veto, and the rest of the time he said he wanted to quit. He rallied a bit at the end when he teamed up with Cedric and Tucker, adding Cam when he walked in on them, but that got blown up immediately. He mostly sat by himself and shouted out his family, or he complained to others about missing them, so they sent him back to them.
Won: Nothing HOH 0 - Veto 1 - Noms 2/0/0 - HN 1   Lisa Weintraub - 33 Twitter - Twitter 2 - Instagram - Instagram 2 Single - recruit? Celebrity chef Los Angeles, CA 2nd evicted - Day 17 She's a legit chef/caterer and ran that into the ground, along with sprinkling edible glitter on everyone's food whether they wanted it or not. Tucker's rants about her were an early highlight, and she crumbled after Angela mocked her walk and called her a twit. Props for winning the first veto (rare for a woman), but she wasn't cut out for this setting. Most of that was simply being a bad roommate: she made (and wasted) food they didn't want, dabbed non-consensual essential oil on her roomies' pillows, propped filthy feet on food surfaces, and she never tired of telling everyone what a special and unique person she was.	Won: Nothing HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/1 - HN 0   Matt Hardeman - 25 Single - recruit? Twitter - Instagram Tech sales rep Roswell, GA (orig Loganvilla, GA) 1st evicted - Day 10 He filled the pretty boy/brojock casting slot perfectly but didn't like Angela pointing that out openly and immediately. He was adamant about not being 'that guy' and to his credit, he did talk a lot against toxic masculinity. He cried after Angela yelled at him, but went out in high spirits with ginormous smiles for Julie.
Won: Control of the game HOH 0 - Veto 0 - Noms 0/0/0 - HN 0 Ainsley/AInsley - 24 Surf shop worker San Diego, CA She lost two votes to join as #17 so reverted to her robotic persona aka Artificial Intelligence Network Self-Learning Entity, and became a comp host.
