What a different game this time around for the first winter edition, for the first time in Big Brother History, the houseguests are playing as couples and I have to say as a result of that, the action in the house has been hot and heavy with several fights that might not normally come about in a singles type of game. Basically you play as couples, compete in challenges as couple, vote as couples and interestedly enough, be evicted as couples. Personally while the couples twist is unique, it does pose some problems including the fact that the game only has 8 couples, one was evicted the first night, the second was evicted last week and the third will be evicted this Wednesday night, that’s 6 houseguests gone in three weeks and for a full season game, there on record pace.These couples were paired as CBS puts it, as sole mates, they matched up perfectly, well I really don’t think so, but you never know… What a pairing, when the game started:
Alex and Amanda: Which were the week two HOH couple, Amanda doesn’t stay quite and has started things with several houseguests and his been in a couple of fights including one huge one with Josh.
Ryan and Allison: Ryan is dating Jen (another houseguest) in real life for about the past year now. Allison originally started a rumor with Sheila that they were a lesbian couple, however has come clean within the past couple of days… did it back fire? So far, nope.
Adam and Sheila: These two have either not really talked or fought from the beginning, now are steady in the house.
James and Chelsia: Are currently (week 3) HOH couple and have already nominated two houseguests.
Josh and Sharon: This couple wasn’t originally paired together, Sharon along with her ex-boyfriend Jacob were a couple was evicted in week one, however Josh’s partner Neil left due to health reasons and since Josh needed a partner, he choose Sharon since she was in sequester.
Matt and Natalie: They just had a blowout last night on the feed.
Parker and Jen: First power couple in the game, solely evicted Sharon and Jacob, however evicted in the second week due to they are a strong couple and Jen and Ryan lied about there relationship outside the house and the other houseguests thought it was an advantage.
Neil and Jacob: Enough said in the Josh-Sharon couple.
So after some 18 days in to the game, what now… a couple things that I have noticed while either watching the three CBS shows a week and the nightly Sho 2 Afterdark feed, the drama in the house even last night has been wild, last season didn’t even have this much drama including during the peak time, I remember quarters game last season with beer and a houseguest that played dad, this year, nope, not even close. This season, they have a pool table outside and what looks to be more to do.
The second, the evictions, one trend that has played out so far started with the first power couple Parker and Jen where they evicted one couple and since they were the power couple combined with Jen going off on others, became the second evicted couple, last week, Amanda and Alex were the HOH couple and this week they are nominated and if the nominations stay the same, I would expected them to be evicted. So if the trend continues and the couples twist also continues, James and Chelsia should be up for nominations next let along evicted next.
Third, while I have to say that the couple twist has made the game interesting, that twist has passed its prime and its time to let the couple out and let them be free and play the game as singles. I would almost expect it to happen this week right after evictions.
Oh yeah, CBS, please get rid of the sloop, if you have to have food competitions, have it a PB&J (peanut butter and jelly), not sloop, think of it as for health reasons.
A shootout if you will to Big Brother Access.com, they have everything including the BB9 logo above I am using.
