Big Brother S19 Episode 28

I’m losing interest in this show. I was so excited to get back into it, but seeing Paul control everything isn’t interesting to me.

The past few weeks, it has been the same thing. Someone wins HOH and they say they are ready to make “big moves” and then they vote out their target, who just so happens to be Paul’s preferred target. The annoying thing about it is, other than Jessica and Cody, these targets haven’t even been a threat to the HOH. Rather than strategically voting people out to strengthen their game, the HOHs are voting people out to strength Paul’s. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up winning, as if he were to go up to someone and tell them he was putting them up for eviction and they were leaving, at this point, I feel they would gladly go along with it.

The only reason I may continue to watch is to see the house finally implode when they have no more outsiders to target. I wish someone had decided to go after the biggest threat (Paul) rather than the weakest targets, as the more I watch, the less interesting it gets, as it feels Paul is being groomed to win.

One last note, I did get a bit emotional when Mark talked about being introduced to Big Brother by his mother, and how she passed away (much as I did when Jessica talked about her dad’s passing and him introducing her to Big Brother), as my mom introduced me to the show (she passed almost a year and a half ago) and watching reminds me of her.

Big Brother

I recently started watching Big Brother again. The last time I devoted myself to this show, I was in high school. My mom introduced me to the show, as she introduced me to others, like Alias. That was at least 10 years ago.

I was reintroduced to the show while in San Diego visiting some friends. We watched two episodes, and I was hooked all over again, plus it reminded me of my mom, which was nice. With the wonders of the internet, I rarely watch TV shows while they are airing, I’m a Netflix kinda guy, but I came out of my room every Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday to watch Big Brother.

I was team Jody. I’m more a fan of Jessica than Cody, but he won my vote by association. I was sad to see Jessica leave last week and Cody leave this week (as well as Elena, as she was my second favorite in the house). Now I am rooting for Mark, because he is the only one left that isn’t in the Paul alliance.

Granted, I haven’t watched in about a decade, but it seems odd that the whole house created an alliance so quickly, and it also makes the show less interesting, as each week, Paul seems to decide who is going home, and that person goes home. I’m hoping things will be more interesting once the alliance has to turn on each other, but even then, I wouldn’t be surprised if Paul just said X, you’re going up and you’re going home, and they just said, OK.

That being said, I already sunk my teeth in, so I’ll continue to watch because I want to know how it ends.
