    The writing throughout each season is simply superb. It’s a treasure and it’s too bad it doesn’t have a wider audience. 

    Agreed but fuck everyone that doesn't know how damn good a show it is.

    lolol glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed.


    Typical BB episode. Spend 85% pondering the big move to take out a player, put up the 2 worst players in the house

     

    100%. There is nothing that I hate more about this show then when they have the HOH go over a big move in the DR which is clearly producer driven (not the move itself but the long extended pondering of the move) Hell at this point it wouldn't surprise me if they had cue cards in the DR for them to read.

    Bruh lol... ISU and KSU are just hoping for bowl eligibility at this point

    I don't disagree just pointing out that if they somehow go on a run in conference and win the Big 12 they aren't "guaranteed" to get it like the poster I quoted said.

    and the catch-22 is that if any of the side characters starts to have a real career on the side, Howard bitches at them about saving their best material for themselves.  Stern is a great place to get some initial exposure but too many of them are either unable or afraid to strike out on their own.  Jackie may be the one exception who made a lot of outside money while being on the show. 

     

    Yep, and probably a main reason for Shuli to head to lower cost of living Alabama and be able to set up side gigs without having Howard right on top of him. 

    Howard is a control freak and the worst kind, one that doesn't realize he is one. 

    As for making outside money Artie made a shit ton as well and Howard didn't seem to have a problem with him doing so either. For whatever reason when the block party took off he got pissed that they were making money off his name. Which of course was the same thing that Jackie and Artie were doing for years before that.

    good point. Howard is notorious for paying people with exposure on his show and he feels they need to leverage that exposure for real income. There are exceptions: Robin, Gary and Eric/Fred.

    Yeah, I would love to know what guys like Sal, Richard, Will, and especially Benjy make

    Just up and left Astoria, Queens. Said it became a shithole the last several months, he and his family felt unsafe, and he has a friend in real estate in Alabama who talked up the area, and bam, he’s now a southerner. He didn’t reveal what city.

    HS was acting like he had no idea this was in the works, but Shuli said he cleared it with Sirius management. If and when they ever return to the studio, and if they demand he show up, I suspect he can fly up Sunday, rent a hotel room or crash with someone, then fly back Wednesday afternoon. He can make wack pack calls Thursday and Friday from Alabama as well as he can from NYC.

    My prediction is upthread, and I’m guessing Shuli feels the same way: with lessons learned from Covid, the bet is Howard will primarily be working remotely for the rest of his career (with occasional studio appearances for special guests), so if you work for the Stern Show, you probably don’t have to live in NYC unless you want to. Shit, HS will be his neighbor in Florida after his parents die.

     

    Agreed. I just find it odd that he didn't mention it or check with Gary or HS before moving that far out of the city. Just seems odd.

    Or that could be the sign that Howard is going to resign and work even less next year. Hell if I'm sirius I would shoot him a low ball offer and see what happens.

    Not to mention her crying in the DR saying it was just game and she felt so bad about nominating both of them. 

    Please. BB has tried to make this season "woke" and it has fallen flat for a number of reasons. 

    The entire show last night was the Day and Bay show. Granted they are both on the block but aside from Ian being sick the entire episode was about the two of them. 

    And why she would be worried about them when they can't win anything in the house is laughable.

    He’s back. So Labor Day is the holiday in which he comes back on Tuesday for an exhausting two-day work week. From his basement. 

    What's funny is in the early Sirius days I knew/cared when shows were live. Anymore I just check in from time to time to see if there is anything interesting on. His vacation schedule and the lack of any sort of pace to the shows has really dropped my interest in the show. 

     

    I mean I am sure the 30 minutes conversation on someone who died two weeks ago is still riveting.....

    saw that he was diagnosed with stage THREE cancer in 2016, yet he fought through and filmed at least 3 Marvel movies, if not 4 after he was diagnosed, plus he filmed at least FIVE other movies, including Thurgood since he was diagnosed.   Thats unbelieveable.

    usually stage 3 cancer has a 15% 5 year survival rate.

    So he was diagnosed, and knew that he only had a 15% chance to be alive in 5 years and still trained and performed for those 8 or 9 movies while fighting this disease quietly and without fanfare...

    Fuck man you were awesome, forget being an icon because you played BP... you are an icon for doing all that while fighting cancer.

     

    RIP to a fantastic actor.

     

    Wakanda Forever sir.

     

    100% also saw that he had been called out by people saying he looked tired or lacked energy in interviews and other times. Not literally just destroying trolls and journalists by dropping the bomb he was fighting stage 3/4 colon cancer to shut them up shows how strong and amazing he really was. 

    Fuck. RIP.

    The Big 10 and the Pac 12 screwed this up from the start.  We should not change a damned thing to get them out of the mess they created.

    I agree but the likelihood that everything that is scheduled to start next month goes off with out a hitch I just don't see happening. I hope to hell I am wrong but I just don't see it. 

    The Big 10 pulled the trigger too soon because they had games starting before everyone else, they should have kicked the can down the road like everyone else to try and save any sort of season they could. With the push back and the financial loss coming to roost they had no other option to say we don't care if people laugh at us we have to do what we can to play.

    Ugh this season doesn’t deserve to be called “All Stars”.

    And I hope Ratcole and all the other morons are eaten up with Janelleousy for the rest of their lives.

    She is a bad bitch and will forever be The Queen of Big Brother.

    My favorite part of her wearing that and Kaysar in shorts and a tshirt it was clear that she knew she was going home. 

    Hell, even Julie had to make some awful OMG fake reaction when Dani voted Kaysar to start. Does she really think the viewers are that stupid? The producers and Julie know who everyone is voting for prior to them going into the DR (with about 99% certainty). It's why they set up the voters in a specific order to create some sort of lame suspense to the viewers. 

    I am still holding out hope that there will be a major backdoor or that those that have to know they are on the bottom of their alliance make a move before sooner rather than later but who knows. As it stands this season has been a dud so far.

    The best seasons are when there are close to two equal sides in the house and the HOH is a battle royal. The last few seasons have turned into a dominant alliance that sits around and does nothing and only has to really be worried at the very end of the game or maybe one or two other times when someone with balls takes a shot at them.

     I really like Tyler but him crying and thinking anytime someone says his name means he is going to be voted out next week is getting really old. Just STFU and play the game.

    Mark was awful at Big Brother but he is no where near the massive little bitch that Josh was in their season of BB (and after their game of pool) or in every season he has been on the Challenge.

    I welcome all the new idiots, new story lines instead of the repetitive BS every season.

    Marci Turk would never allow the sybian or porn stars or any of the other stuff HS was famous for back in the day. For some reason, Sal’s dick is ok.

    I don’t think he retires anytime soon, especially now that he’s discovered remote broadcasting. He’ll continue from The Hamptons until Covid is resolved, then do a hybrid NYC studio/Mansion broadcast until his parents die, then he’ll move to Florida and finish out his career there. He used to talk about “fuck you money” a lot, and though I’m sure he has it, he still feels a compulsion to compile it. Plus, he needs the affirmation being on the radio brings him. 

    And will this be a two-week plus Labor Day vacation? Or three weeks? He has come back the day after a holiday before. 

     

    I agree, he always made fun of those like Imus "hanging on to long" but think once again he will do the exact same thing. I really hope he doesn't but think that is where things are headed. Hell Beth probably hopes he does as I couldn't imagine how miserable he would be with only painting as his escape.

    This little fucker better not fuck up all the artie replays because he's in a few of them

    https://www.nydailynews.com/snyde/ny-stuttering-john-suing-20200820-uswnjl2s2bg7nnitcfsdweg3wq-story.html

    TLDR

     

     

    I am not a lawyer but not sure how he has a shot at winning when they are just replaying old shows he was on back when he was an employee. And since Sirius(Howard) now owns the old shows I don't really see how he could win over shit that he said himself. 

    Sounds like a Hail Mary now that Leno isn't paying him for 5 minutes of work a day.

    Enzo chooses Xmas and Bayleigh has to *immediately* talk out the side of her mouth about it. man BB casting found their perfect Angry Black Woman. 

    also, as un-PC as this might be in 2020, it sure seems like the black folks on this show like to isolate themselves from everyone else, but then expect other people to do favors for them. stop sitting around gossiping, and start playing the game. 

     

    I don't disagree but they spent what 10 seconds on the "alliance" Dani, Tyler, Bayleigh, Davonne and whoever else was in the room talking about to set up Tyler's maybe I will put up Davonne angle after Dani overheard "GASP" Davonne talking to someone else in a room. 

    Again I don't watch the feeds or read spoilers so not sure what is 100% happening but that seemed forced by Tyler and Dani. 

    Talking to someone not in your alliance seems like a pretty lame reason to think they are "coming after me, or don't trust me."

    Why wouldn't Davonne tell her alliance she would like to be safe and have to deal with the penalty?

    HS is a bit eccentric, partial nut, and very committed to his job.  He has issues with people who see it as a party or hang-out.  He has his peculiarities and recognizes it and is somewhat reflective about being an asshole in the past and how he hurt other people.  Some are not happy about the change (we all change to some degree as we age) and some cannot deal with the separation and nosedive of their career arcs post HS.    

    Sure he vacations more now, but when he is there he doesn't mail it in.   

     

    Look I love Howard but "a bit eccentric and a partial nut"? You have to be kidding? I still like his show (although it isn't a must listen for me like it once was even a few years ago) but he is a narcissist who doesn't think he is a narcissist. The fact that he had security at Sirius lock everyone down so he could walk to his office without being bothered with someone saying "hi" to him is the most egotistical douchebag moves I have ever seen.  

    His rant on Podcasts still cracks me up as he is so much in his own world to see that they are a massive competitor to his show and I am sure has taken plenty of loyal listeners away. 

    He has turned into his parents on steroids. The interviews aren't as good as they were when he first started on Sirius "did you fall in love with your costar?" the bits and Whack Pack are about the only thing left that is entertaining.  

    Edit- I also really hope that he decides to step away so he can take a year long victory lap and get a ton of great interviews and look back on what has been on hell of a ride. He at the very least deserves that.

    these "all stars" have been garbage, particularly the women. that HOH comp last night was embarrassing. by the time Tyler took the lead it became clear that the move was to take your time and try to score as many points as possible, but did a single competitor do that? nope. they all just kept going as fast as they could and scoring 0 or 1 on the first table, thus eliminating themselves before they even even gotten going.

    the women- how many women walked up there and meekly got a 1 before one of them decided to give it a little more physical exertion? that was pathetic. the only woman in the house who appears to be any sort of physical threat is Xmas, but of course she has zero brains, strategy, leadership skills, etc. She's a hanger-on. It seems that Bay, Davonne, Dani, and Nicole F all think they're playing "BB Vacay", where all we do is sit around talking and relaxing. i question if any of them have any intentions on even playing this game. super weak cast of females, which is really disappointing. may as well have thrown Sis on the show.

     

    It's still WAY early. 

    And I don't watch online so who knows what is actually going on we are only seeing the BB edit. I don't have a problem with anybody's game play yet. Aside from Memphis, who let the HOH get to his head a little too much (and don't even get me started on that denim vest a guy should never wear especially some one his age).

    BB threw David a bone after he pretty much got screwed last year but he is what he is a horrible competitor and player. 

    Picking off the easy targets early and not pissing anyone off is the route to go early but someone has to take the first shot. It will be interesting to see who that is. All it takes is a backdoor to get the game going. We shall see......
