For discussion of Internet-aired events before they reach the show (and, in the first week, of rumors leaking out before the feeds come online). This is a mix of Fanatics and Bashers with spoilers aplenty: we often wind up operating very close to real time, at least for what Endemol is willing to show. The initial thread will cover the time up until the first vote eviction, and subsequent threads will generally be one week each. If discussion is particularly heavy, extra threads will be started at need.So let's start with the rumors. Some of this comes from a claimed CBS intern tweeting out to the world, while other bits are even more nebulous than that. (None of it is confirmed in any way, but sometimes it can be turn out to be accurate no matter how wild it sounds.) Going minor, moderate, major:
Minor: Jenn & Shane are recruits who were brought in -- no, not from bars: something even seedier. Facebook. Jenn has so little exposure to the show that she didn't know the cycle's order (HoH, nominations, Veto, eviction), much less the no-singing rule -- which she's already violated, as has Shane. Once again, keep those applications -- and be careful what you put on your wall, because Big Brother Really Is Watching You.
Moderate: The mentors were allowed to participate in the first HoH competition -- and Janelle won.
Major: JoJo pitched a Staten Island-sized fit after HoH, screaming about rigged contests and directly targeting the producers with every accusation. And you don't question Grodner while you're actually in the game. She's supposedly out, either quit or removed by the staff. Current rumors say she was replaced with an emergency backup who was being kept in sequester as a just-in-case: no details on that party.
So it's already been a long season...
If they got this in the afterlife, what section would you presume it was in?
