BOTS is trash and has been trash, and not the fun kind, for years. I still remember when they asked a winner they disliked if he had been bullied as a child or ignored at home. They also accused him of being a wife-beater. And it's gotten worse over time. It's not fun to provoke an incident that gets someone sent to the hospital. I used to like AIslyene years ago but she's shown herself up over and over this year.

 

BBUK viewers hate Americans - it takes a lot to get an American to win (Gary Busey played the doddering old man to a tee - something Janice never pulled off). Whoever wins will probably be someone who made it clear they hate America. If they have issues with women it's a bonus. So I'm guessing Bobby.

I think Natasha is going to win. Possibly Stevi/Chloe as their fans have been voting in force this season.

 

James/Austin fans votes are going to split between them.

 

I don't think Bobby has a shot at all. I see him finishing in last. Sherrie will probably finish 3rd. 

 

I knew an American wasn't going to win thanks to the twist being stressed all season. I think that twist is total bullsh-t. If this twist was implemented on our BB, we'd still look past their national background and root for the underdog. Plus, the interviews wouldn't be so biased. 

 

But the UK disdain for us is saddening. I've noticed it a lot on Twitter and forums this year. From the generalizing to the elitist thoughts. And not saying we are innocent but I think the Brit audience seriously took this twist to heart.

I think James and Austin may have different fanbases going into the finals. James won't win because he's seen as "fake" and a "gameplayer." Austin is too polarizing.

 

You may be right about Natasha. I think she has a great chance. It's just that a lot of older men have won recently.

 

Channel 5 has repeatedly stoked anti-American views to keep this show afloat. I remember how hard they pushed that line in the season that Denise Welch, who made a damn fool of herself, won. It's one of the reasons I find the show so difficult to watch. It is based so much on hate and rage now.

Dissappointed in Aiseyne. You could see her pick up the glass. I hated her during her original season but she won me over this summer when she returned. This line was a classic

Farrah held her own well though also especially to that first woman that tried to go in on her. Did you notice during that exchange Farrah didnt look at her once. She was paying her dust and talking directly to Rylan while that hag lost her mind

Where did she get the crown from? Queen

 

I dont know if this bothers anyone else but it bothers me how everyone SHADES Chloe to her face and she takes it. How many times is someone going to call her weak and she just stands there? I mean she is, but its kind of rude and disrespectful for them to say that near her or worst, to her face while yelling.

 

Sad to see Janice go. She was a calming force and completely changed my opinion on her. She said this was the real Janice and what we saw on the other shows was a character and I believe her. Unlike some 1 hour edited weekly show from before, she was in this house filming for 24/7. I dont think you can fake it that long. She was motherly, rationale and overall a good person. I didnt buy into those that called her evil and manipulative. I didnt see that. She's a bigger person than me bc I didnt like her giving Austin a pass instead of holding him accountable for his actions. "Oh he's just a kid"...no he's not. He's a grown man nearing 30. He may act like a child but he isnt and shame on him for his behavior

James wins....what a surrpise. Not. The fiale had 5 Brits vs 1 American and that was obvious from launch week. I think the biggest shocker was Bobby ending 4th and Austin being 2nd.  Both vile. Im guessing BB has a big gay audience and that may be why Austin was supported for so long and the female audience just ate up James. I really would have rather Natasha won when it came down to them three

What a GREAT season. I enjoyed every single episode and I'm totally satisfied with the conclusion.

 

I'm glad James won. He was charming and played the game with the viewing public. He couldn't lose. The casting people got very lucky with the James/Austin bromance, that was television gold. 

 

Bobby sure got a lot of mileage out of his epic face to face nomination speech against awful Farrah. He scripted that incredibly. 

 

And best of all, Vicki Michelle MBE is pressing charges against Farrah. Ms. Michelle confirmed that Janice threw a chair at Farrah to stop Farrah from hurling more glasses. Apparently Janice was a good shot.

I think it may be more the other way around - James is catnip to gay men, while some women may have supported the Austin/James whatevermance. But pieces of ass don't win the show all that often, so I think it may be that most of the other people in the final just weren't that liked.

    • I would argue that Another World never played "everything" for laughs. Even when there were comedic scenes in some storylines there were other storylines that were not intended as comedy.  You give 1988 as the end point, and Mary was on the canvas from August 1986 to February 1989, so she must have overlapped with the despised laughs you are referring to at least half of the time she was there. I honestly can't recall any real comedy that Mary would have been part of. I don't think she was lighthearted about choosing between two husbands, MJ's prostitution, Kathleen's death, or even her son Scott dating her daughter Cheryl.  I would have said that the amount of comedy depended on the head writer and there was more comedy under Richard Culliton and Gary Tomlin in 1984 than subsequent headwriters. I guess there was an outbreak of more comedy when Cecile kidnapped Cass from his wedding in 1986, but in general the Sin Stalker wasn't presented as funny, Mitch's return wasn't funny, John's arrival wasn't funny, Reginald wasn't funny. The tone was serious even if the plots verged on the ludicrous. And maybe that's what you mean -- but I would make a distinction between intentional comedy and storylines I can't take seriously for other reasons. 
    • I'm excited for us to get back to a full weeks worth of episodes and also us beginning to move into the episodes filmed once the show premiered. We're already starting to see changes in the lighting and the way certain characters are styled. Of course we know this week we have our first recast as well. After the big Eva reveal, I hope the show continues to move into a positive direction and that we see them starting to fix some of the things we've all had issues with.
    • It seems like they may have been going in one direction for Andre and then changed their mind. He had this player/bachelor thing going at first where he was messing with Dani, seemed to be feeling Eva, and then somehow smitten by bland Ashley of all people. I feel like Ashley was supposed to be the one that finally made him want to be with someone and settle. The way he talked her up in those earlier episodes was really confusing. The wonderful, amazing nurse Ashley and conveniently she's unattainable because she has a partner, but he can't stop thinking of her and takes these busted pics of her. It was a mess. However, it all seems to have been dropped. I honestly feel like Andre can go. That may be an unpopular opinion but I don't need his breathy final syllable to be content with BTG. It's always like "There's gotta be another wh-ahyy"
    • This is where McLaibey falls apart. It becomes clear that McTavish had not thought past Brent/Marion...so the energy drops and she starts throwing things at the wall (Blakes twins, Lonatrat.)   Fans HATED this funeral. Everyone is mad at everyone else, which is fine, the death of a beloved community figure would give people a reason to come together...(Quint and Nola could come together at least for  a bit to support each other, Nola and VAn could finally admit they kinda, sorta like each other) Its just an example of McTavish's mean writing.   I have a feeling they were going to make Dahlia Frank's kid but they chickened out. Making Tina a prostitute didn't help, they could have been lovers when they were young but felt society pressure to part. Marcus took over David's role (you can't have two young black men at that time...)   Get used to it...this will happen, the same storyline over and over until the end.
    • Does anyone happen to have a recording or any footage of Jennifer’s funeral?
    • It's such a shame that the conflict couldn't be resolved in a mature way between the two actors.. especially since Albee was a bigger asset for the show in terms of character and his popular will they/won't they pairing with Deborah Saxon. One of the things about Edge was that it was just as popular with male viewers as it was with women.  It's one of things I think the show forgot in the final year or two with the deemphasis on the male characters.
