All right. I’m noticing a new trend. It may have happened last season with Joey’s women, right? It may have happened the season before with Charity’s Men.
I don’t think it did. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this idea that once the episode airs Monday night, within three seconds of the episode airing, the eliminated contestants from that particular episode are going immediately to Instagram and either leaving a video or leaving a photo reel. And thanking everybody for their journey and talking about how great it was and how much they learned about themselves.
And they can’t wait to see what’s coming next. Spencer did it yesterday and Sam M obviously did it. Last night as well. Right when the episode ended, he had that video ready to go. Grant didn’t put anything because he knew he was going to be announced as the bachelor, but I’ve seen it from the other guys to Thomas and did it.
I mean, so many, I mean, I, you could probably go down all the guys. I’ve seen so many guys do it this season. I’m like, do I remember a lot of the women from Joey season doing that? Maybe this is the thing. And I don’t follow enough of them to see how many of them do it. But to me, it just screams. Hey, hope I, hopefully I can get on paradise and see you all again.
You know, they only talk about the positives for the most part. Thomas M did throw in the fact in there about the hate that he got, but for the most part, to me, it’s just a paradise. I wouldn’t want to say audition being on this show and the tell all is the audition for paradise next summer. But all these posts are like the same exact wording and the same exact phrasing, and it’s just not original.
So. When did this start? They all do it either right when the episode ends or first thing the next morning, and it’s always a photo real talking about how they made great friends. This was experience of a lifetime. Can’t wait to see what the future holds. Maybe you’ll see me down the road. It’s all the same phrases and I’ve just noticed it more with Jen’s guys.
I’m sure some other contestants in the past, the night that you got eliminated have said something, but it just seems like every single one of these guys is doing it. Thank you to CBS last night for wasting an hour of my time. Look, I have, I’m kind of meh on Jag. I don’t hate him. I don’t love him. He’s indifferent to me.
I thought he deserved to win, especially up against Matt. I didn’t have a problem with him winning, but as a character on Big Brother, he’s just, like I said, he’s kind of meh to me. Absolutely love Taylor Hale, one of my favorite players in the history of this game, and I like Cody as a player. But I didn’t need to see them sitting around recapping the first three weeks, including the fact the first 25 minutes of the episode was only focused on the Angela Matt fight.
We’ve already seen this you’re three weeks into the season. Do we really need to break down? Like this makes way more sense when we’re two months into the season and we’re two or three weeks away from the finale. Three weeks into the season. We have to break down the first three eliminations. I just, it was a waste.
And of course they teased us at the beginning that Ainsley had a twist in the game that she was going to reveal. Once I saw the first 15 minutes, I’m like, they’re going to remake this reveal in the last two minutes of the episode, which is exactly what they did. And. And they gave us absolutely nothing.
They just told us the reveal will happen Thursday. And they told us the name of the reveal or the twist is going to be AI instigator, but they gave us no clue as to absolutely what it was. Does it save somebody? Does it take somebody off the block? What is the change in the game? Did it just be honest?
Did we really need that episode of big brother last night? No, we didn’t. And I just don’t like it when you insult my intelligence by. Telling me to watch that episode. I didn’t need to see any of that. Not that I don’t care about Jag and Taylor and Cody’s opinions. It’s just save that same exact episode for way later on in the season when you can dissect way more Matt and Lisa and Kenny are, are, they’re not even going to be part of the jury.
They’re going to be forgotten, even though Matt is so thirsty on social media ever since this show, and it’s going on every single show he’s doing tick talks with Matt from last season. It’s just so much. I get that they want to stay relevant, but dude, you finished in 16th place on Big Brother. Let’s stop pretending that you were really all that important to the season.
You weren’t. Let’s face it. But, the episode last night, yeah, the only thing I was tuning in for was, I want to know what the twist is. They did promote that. Ainsley is going to reveal a twist in the game and all she revealed was the title of it, and we’re not going to know about it till Thursday night.
It’s like, gosh, thanks a lot. Tori spelling on her. What does she even call her podcast? It’s by herself now miss spelling podcast. Told a story about how she tried to stab her brother when they were kids. What? So her brother, Randy Spelling, who was on a few episodes of 90210, he played Steve Sanders, younger brother, Rush’s stepbrother, Rush’s kids.
And he said, Strangest thing was you had some sort of weird, when you got mad you got crazy, you got the crazy eyes. What? Does Randy Spelling think he thinks he’s Angela from Big Brother? He went on to say you got very dramatic and you came after me with a letter opener and I feared for my life. He estimated he was about 8 or 9 years old at the time and Tori was maybe 14 in 7th or 8th grade.
Tori said that she didn’t like when Randy would put his ear up to her bedroom door when she was on the phone talking with her school friends. She had just started and I just started at an all girls school and I had this new set of friends I went to a real academic school where I totally stood out because I was not academic I was creative and it was a lot for me one night after dinner.
She admitted Randy’s listening proved to be too much She said I would just go mad I would go batshit fucking crazy and at that point That is when I threw open the door pulled up my letter opener and I ran out and tried to stab him What she later clarified she wasn’t going to stab him and they had a good laugh about it on the episode Okay, yeah, I don’t listen to misspelled.
Maybe that’s a story you don’t want to share. I mean, my sister and I used to, you know what, you know what bothered me about my sister? I never tried to stab her, I know that, and she never tried to stab me. But I would get very upset when she beat me at video games in, in television. It’s probably why I’m not a gamer.
And I haven’t been since about, I don’t know, seventh or eighth grade. But when I was in third, fourth, fifth grade, and I got Nintendo or in television and then turned into Nintendo, man, I’d get so upset if she beat me at a game. And I just, and she knew how to push my buttons about it, but I never went to a letter opener and threatened to stab her Tori.
You’re weird. And finally, something I want to talk about in regards to the Tick Tock generation, have you seen the new prank going on now? The give me my money prank that people are doing. I guess my thing is I don’t understand how the people who are getting prank don’t know that what’s about to happen and all it is.
I mean, it’s really dumb, but it shows up on my for you page all the time. And it’s just, you get three, four, five, six people standing around. And all you do is go up to the camera and say, give me my money. And everybody claps. Yay. And the next person said, give me my money. Yay. And then the last person to do it is the one being pranked.
And they think everyone’s going to clap for them and nobody does. And it’s like, okay, so they didn’t clap for you. Big deal. I don’t get it. I don’t get why one that’s funny. I don’t know too, where this came from or three, how anybody keeps getting pranked on this. I understand that people are being pranked, have probably never looked at tech talk, so they’re not aware of this viral prank that’s going on right now.
But I still don’t get it. I don’t understand how it’s funny. I know I’m laughing, but I’m laughing at the stupidity of it. Because to me, I mean, there’s, there’s levels of pranking. That’s about as low of a prank as you can get. Like, so somebody thinks you’re going to clap for him and you don’t. Ooh, burned him, burned her.
Like what? I don’t know. I just like, again, I’m, while I have a Tik Tok and while I scroll Tik Tok, Tik Tok a lot, I wouldn’t say I’m their target audience. I am of a, I’m a Gen Xer. So maybe I’m not supposed to get it, but I, I could easily do, I could easily do a TikTok with my family right now. My niece would know about it, my nephew would know about it, and I would know about it.
