Introverted and unspiritual (except for a couple of prayer times). This is the Jocasta we saw on the live feeds.<br><br>- An outgoing, bubbly, vivacious woman whose spirituality guides her thoughts and actions. We saw this Jocasta ONLY in Diary Room sessions ... which pretty much convinces me that what she said in there was 98% scripted by producers.<br>Target Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655363447433855068.post-21849023187063980122014-09-25T12:17:42.000-07:002014-09-25T12:17:42.000-07:00objkshn -- Now if we could just get exec producer ...objkshn -- Now if we could just get exec producer Allison Grodner to listen! I'm working on a post for this web site (might be a few days or a week -- not exactly in a hurry) with similar thoughts on how CBS should at least consider incorporating certain concepts from Big Brother Australia without messing too much with the formula which CBS obviously likes so much.<br>Target Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655363447433855068.post-86589014046397473972014-09-25T12:15:34.000-07:002014-09-25T12:15:34.000-07:00Linda -- CBS has renewed Big Brother for seasons 1...Linda -- CBS has renewed Big Brother for seasons 17 and 18. #BB17 will most likely begin in late June 2015.<br>Target Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655363447433855068.post-35972329583924575272014-09-25T12:14:34.000-07:002014-09-25T12:14:34.000-07:00Cindi4444 -- The playlist is maintained by IndyMik...Cindi4444 -- The playlist is maintained by IndyMike (who runs this bigbrothergossip.com web site) ... and, yes, it's very helpful.

He just points to videos that various other people post on YouTube ... so if the playlist isn't up-to-date, you could probably just search YouTube for "BBAU" or possibly "Big Brother Australia 2014".<br>Target Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655363447433855068.post-56830940219583857112014-09-25T06:46:39.000-07:002014-09-25T06:46:39.000-07:00Irishcurse - Agreed that Jocasta ranks amongst the...Irishcurse - Agreed that Jocasta ranks amongst the worst. I'm still recovering from Amber-the-one-who-never-stopped-crying in season 8. Not sure who I disliked more for lack of game play or annoying habits. And, they both clung to their Bible. Seems the most religious are the least logical. Newsflash Jocasta: Jesus loves Derrick more than you since Derrick got the money. <br><br>But Phew. Glad that Derrick won. Anything else woulda been a huge disappointment of having weathered the boringest season ever. No mention of Derrick winning an extra $50K because of America's Team. So what was that all about? <br><br>So, CBS - going forward:<br><br>Make them WORK in Big Brother. Give them chores to do each week and if they don't do them, they get nom penalties. Division of labor will cause drama naturally. They won't all be whistling whilst they work. <br><br>NO MORE RECRUITS. Get those who know the game and want to play the game. There are plenty of applicants. Who cares if they are all beautiful? Their flaws will just give fans more to talk about. And a fan is NOT a fan he or she has only watched the episodes. <br><br>NO MORE REPEATS. No All Stars. Nobody I want to see again. There are enough new people who want to play. You don't have to use leftovers.<br><br>NO CELEBRITIES. I'm happy you avoided a fan revolt and awarded America's Favorite Player to Donny. We all know Frankie was the real first place. My guess is you gave him $25K hush money to win in private so that he doesn't get more Zach-Donny fan abuse than he already has. But going forward, don't bring players who have fan networks that are more encompassing than CBS and Big Brother combined. <br><br>TOKENS: As you can tell, limiting the gay to a token representative doesn't prevent showmances with those who claim to be straight. What're you afraid of? Two boys or two girls will kiss each other on the feeds? Horrors. Welcome to twentieth century. How about a house full of bisexuals so you'll have a myriad of different showmance possibilities?<br><br>AGEISM / DIVERSITY: Sick of the token blacks or other ethnic minorities and 40+ year old outliers. They are always targeted as being different from the rest. Why not shake it up? How about a house of nothing but over 40 year olds?!? You're gonna get some set-in-their-way types. They'll have more life experiences to share with each other (and feedsters). In that same vein, how about a house where minorities are the majority and there are token white guy and girl?<br>objkshnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655363447433855068.post-11277586110134518892014-09-24T20:14:08.000-07:002014-09-24T20:14:08.000-07:00Jocasta had to have been one of the worst HG's...Jocasta had to have been one of the worst HG's ever.

I have watched BB AU for several seasons and have tried to get my adult children to do the same. (Same kids who got me hooked on BB USA). Well, your links have made it easier to access the AU shows, so now they are tuning in! Yay! Will you continue to post the links after the BB USA season, or will you be taking a much needed twitter break?<br><br>Thanks again!!<br>Cindi4444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655363447433855068.post-77555121694431675872014-09-24T07:27:42.000-07:002014-09-24T07:27:42.000-07:00Scott -- Thanks!

That will occur in that segment where Frankie shows up, followed by Caleb. Neither of them actually spend time in the jury house. They're housed in a sequestered hotel, as is the rest of the jury from Saturday to tonight. Many have questioned why they do this, but it's primarily for the ease in getting them into the studio tonight.<br>Scotthttp://scotthudson.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
