#BBCAN3 ep 7 – Big Egos, Bullies, and Boss Bitches

bbcan3No less a person that Sigmund Freud said “The ego is not master in its own house.” 

And as tonight’s episode proved neither is it a master of the Big Brother Canada one. Perhaps someone who studies psychology or philosophy for years would be able to write a much deeper thesis on the events that befell Graig this evening. Alas, I am of the Good Will Hunting “library card” school of knowledge so instead I say, “How do you like them apples?” Continue reading “#BBCAN3 ep 7 – Big Egos, Bullies, and Boss Bitches”

#BBCAN3 ep.5 – Don’t Hate The Game, Hate The Players

bbcan3If you had told me ten days ago when I gave him the sarcastic nickname “Classy Kevin” that he would become one of my favourite males in the house I wouldn’t have believed you. Or me. Because his first impression was not that great. But tonight? What are the kids saying these days, “I can’t even.”  I. CAN’T. EVEN. with the dudes in the house. Where is our Emmett & Jon? Ugh!

#BBCAN 3.04 – Blabbermouths, Beavers & Spin the Bottle

bbcan3It’s week 2 of Big Brother and that can only mean one thing… the gender lines have been drawn in the astroturf and a battle of the sexes is about to begin. For as long as I can remember watching versions of this show the same thing happens, BBCAN Season 3 doesn’t look like it’s going to buck the trend. But this time the “girl alliance” seems about to fail and it’s all because they forgot the first rule of girl gossip… always check to make sure the bathroom stalls are empty. Rookie move, ladies. Continue reading “#BBCAN 3.04 – Blabbermouths, Beavers & Spin the Bottle”

#BBCAN 3.03 – To Have and to Have Not (An Alliance)

bbcan3In the interest of full disclosure I am riding the spring allergy Benadryl pink elephant wave this evening so my Big Brother observations are a little less than sharp. Thankfully there weren’t too many nuances in tonight’s episode as they had to pack in both a Have Not competition and Nominations. Mostly is was 60 minutes of setting the stage for the 9 remaining weeks. Continue reading “#BBCAN 3.03 – To Have and to Have Not (An Alliance)”

Reality Confessions – Zach, Frankie, Big Brother, Social Media Narcissism & The Present Age

Frankie (front row speedo) & Zach (front row striped shorts) and the Big Brother meltdown confession hour.
Big Brother 16 Cast: Frankie (front row speedo), Zach (front row striped shorts), Caleb (front row pink shorts), Cody (back row blue shorts) & Derrick (back row beige shorts).

I need to come clean about something… I watch Big Brother.  Both the US & Canadian ones.  It’s my reality TV drug of choice.  And what went down last night is exactly why.  For 2 hours drama unfolded that if all the camera feeds were edited together could make an excellent documentary on narcissism in the social media age.
